Job description

We're trained for the people other spas can't take care of.

Please read this whole post before you apply. We wrote it to be honest about the job, the schedule and the pay.

Lena Rose is a holistic spa and shop where the person on the table matters more than the service on the menu. We're a W-2, non-tipping, clean-beauty spa with two homes, Lincoln Square in Chicago and downtown Naperville. We're looking for a licensed esthetician at our Naperville spa who cares for guests in cancer treatment, guests with sensitivities, and guests who just need one quiet hour.

The schedule

Part-time: Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, every week. Weekends are our busiest days, so all three days are required.

What you'll do

• Facials and peels, body treatments, sugaring and waxing of every area, and lash lifts and tints, all to our written protocols and time windows.
• Consent-first consultations: allergies and sensitivities asked every time, and honest advice about what the skin is ready for.
• A written at-home plan for every guest, products recommended, and every guest rebooked before checkout.
• A treatment room that's always ready for the next human.

Non-negotiables

• A current Illinois Esthetician license. Bring it to the interview.
• Available every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday.
• Confident hands-on skill across facials and hair removal, and willingness to learn sugaring and our body rituals if they are new to you.
• Punctual, reliable and calm on the floor.
• Open to feedback and to protocols that may differ from where you trained.
• Comfortable with a non-tipping, W-2 model where pay grows with tenure and performance.

This role is not a fit if

• You need tips to feel paid.
• You can't commit to every weekend.
• You want to sell your own products or services to our guests.
• You find protocols confining rather than freeing.
• You're uncomfortable caring for people in treatment or with sensitivities.

How we hire (so you know what to expect)

1. Your resume and a written answer to the question below.
2. A 15-minute phone screen.
3. An in-person interview.
4. A paid working interview: one facial or sugaring service on a model at our spa.
5. Reference checks.

What Roses really earn

The pay shown on this post is base pay: $20/hour to start, growing with tenure to $27/hour. On top of that, you earn 2–10% commission on everything you sell (services and retail) through our Rose Rate. From May to September 2026, commission added about $1 to $2.50 an hour on average for our providers, and up to $5.60 an hour in a strong pay period. As your Rose Rate grows, so does your commission.

What we offer

• $20/hour to start (every Rose starts as an Apprentice), growing with tenure to $27/hour, plus 2–10% commission on all your sales through our Rose Rate.
• Pay Protection Promise: your base rate only ever moves up.
• Non-tipping: steady, predictable pay that never depends on tips.
• Paid leave and paid sick leave, earned from day one.
• A 401(k) with employer match after 90 days. (Medical, dental and vision are for full-time Roses at 40+ hours.)
• Four paid professional development days a year and 100% reimbursement of the continuing education hours Illinois requires.
• 40% off retail and services from day one.
• A paid 90-day structured onboarding, with service-by-service sign-off from our Lead Esthetician.

Physical requirements

This is a hands-on, on-the-floor role. You should be able to stand and move for most of a shift; bend, stoop, reach and lift up to 40 lbs to deliver services and reset rooms; and have the manual dexterity to use all tools and equipment, with or without reasonable accommodation.

Beautifully,
