Job description

Be a Holiday Rose.

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

Lena Rose is the spa and shop where the person in front of us matters more than what's on the shelf. We carry 500+ carefully vetted clean beauty products from small brands and make our own House Line by hand. The holidays are our busiest, happiest season, and we're looking for a few warm, organized people to help at our Lincoln Square (Chicago) and downtown Naperville shops.

The dates and hours

Seasonal: November 1, 2026 through January 5, 2027. Evenings and weekends only: weekdays 3–7pm, and Saturdays and Sundays 9am–6pm. We're hiring a few Holiday Roses for each shop and sharing the shifts between them, so tell us your availability when you apply.

What you'll do

• Welcome every guest warmly and help them find the right gift.
• Learn our products and share what makes them clean and special.
• Ring up sales, wrap gifts beautifully, and keep the shop full, tidy and holiday-ready.

• Make sure every guest leaves hearing "Have a beautiful day."

Non-negotiables

• Available for weekday evening and weekend shifts between November 1 and January 5, including the weeks right before the holidays.

• A flair for gift wrapping.

This role is not a fit if

• You can't work evenings and weekends.
• You're looking for a permanent role. This one ends January 5.
• You'd rather stay behind the counter than talk with guests.

1. Your application and a written answer to the question below.
2. A 15-minute phone screen.
3. A short in-person interview at the shop.
4. Reference check.

What we offer

• $18/hour, W-2.
• Paid leave and paid sick leave, earned from day one.
• 40% off retail and services, just in time for your own holiday shopping.
• Paid training on our products and our shop before your first rush.
• A warm, small team, and a chance to be considered for future openings.
