About the Opportunity

At Commonwealth Senior Living, we're seeking a Contract Beautician to provide salon services to residents in our vibrant senior living community. This role plays an important part in helping residents look and feel their best - bringing confidence, care, and connection to every visit.

Our Beauticians are independent contractors who partner with Commonwealth Senior Living to offer on-site salon services. This position is ideal for an experienced professional who enjoys working with seniors and values flexibility and meaningful engagement.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide salon and grooming services such as haircuts, styling, coloring, and basic nail care.
• Maintain a clean, safe, and welcoming salon environment in accordance with state and community standards.
• Build positive relationships with residents, fostering an atmosphere of warmth and trust.
• Schedule services and manage payments directly with residents as appropriate.
• Partner with community staff to ensure salon operations run smoothly and safely.

Contract Requirements

• Must hold a current cosmetology license in the state of Virginia.

• Must carry worker's compensation insurance per state-required limits and provide proof annually.
• Must adhere to all state board and regulatory requirements for cosmetology and salon operations.

Additional Information

• This is a contracted position, not a Commonwealth Senior Living employee role.
• Beauticians are responsible for their own licensing, insurance, and business operations.
• In rare cases where a community-employed beautician is necessary, the role is part-time only (typically under 30 hours per week). Employed beauticians maintain their cosmetology license while CSL maintains the salon license.
