Job description

There’s nothing quite like a beauty hall at Christmas. The lights go up, the limited editions arrive, and every customer is searching for something that will make someone’s Christmas.

This festive role places you with some of the industry’s most recognised beauty, fragrance, skincare, haircare and makeup brands across prestige beauty halls and premium retail counters, working temporary shifts until January 2027. If you can turn a hurried gift purchase into a moment someone remembers, this is your season.

Your New Role

• Represent leading beauty, fragrance, haircare and makeup brands through the festive trading peak
• Guide gift buyers with personalised recommendations, not scripted pitches
• Drive sales and hit seasonal targets through genuine product expertise
• Demonstrate gift sets, styling tools, launches and limited editions with confidence
• Keep the counter calm and polished when the floor is at its busiest
• Maintain merchandising and presentation at the standard these houses expect

Your Talents

You’ve worked in beauty, fragrance, haircare, makeup or luxury retail before, and you know how a counter changes during the festive period. Whether it’s a foundation match, a signature scent or the right styling tool for someone’s hair type, you talk about products with real authority. You stay composed when queues build, read a customer quickly and know when a gift buyer needs guidance and when they simply need speed. Target-driven, professional and available across the festive period, including weekends and late-night openings, you bring warmth to every shift without ever feeling pushy.

Why Apply

Weekly pay and flexible shifts let you shape the season around your plans. You’ll work with some of the most recognised names in beauty at the moment they matter most, across luxury department stores and premium retail destinations. A strong festive season also puts you front of mind for future temporary and permanent roles with The Talent Edit Group. Every shift adds another brand to your experience and another skill to your kit.
