Job description

About this position

Why Work at Cultivate Aesthetics

In a transactional medical aesthetics world, we are a tight-knit group that deeply cares for our patients and pride ourselves on cultivating their natural beauty.

As the Aesthetician, you own the skincare side of the practice: facials, peels, dermaplaning, microneedling, lasers, and medical-grade skincare routines. You'll work from protocols set with the owner, Sarah Mardigian, recommend products based on what you see in the room, and handle patient follow-up and check-ins. Weeks also include producing the practice's social content and content for your personal brand.

This is a part-time (full-time is possible if desired), on‑site role in Lansing, Michigan, for a Michigan‑licensed Aesthetician, with hours built around patient demand, on a tight‑knitted team of nurse practitioners and physician assistants.

What the Work Looks Like

A shift moves between the treatment room and the desk. Busy blocks mean back‑to‑back treatments with the room reset between each one; slower stretches mean charting, follow‑up texts, and restocking. Some days include a CE course; others call for a reel, or a couple of Instagram stories shot between patients. The schedule shifts with patient demand. The standard for room cleanliness and documentation does not.

Who Belongs Here

• Recommends the treatment or product that helps the patient reach the desired outcome.
• Notices the follow‑up call that hasn’t happened yet or the supply order that’s about to run out, and handles it without waiting to be asked.
• Keeps the same calm pace in the treatment room whether the schedule is half full or completely packed.
• Treats one CE course or certification a quarter as part of the job, brings back something the rest of the team can use, and shares it on social media.
• Cultivates kindness, respectfulness, and safety for patients and coworkers.
• Hard‑working, accountable, and takes pride in their work.

Compensation:

$66,000 - $106,000 yearly

Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with the team to develop personalized skincare plans that align with patient goals and enhance their natural beauty.

• Engage with patients through follow‑up calls and messages, ensuring their satisfaction and addressing any concerns promptly.
• Stay updated on the latest skincare trends and techniques by attending quarterly CE courses, sharing insights with the team and on social media.
• Create engaging social media content that reflects our brand’s values and showcases our commitment to patient care.
• Proactively manage inventory, ensuring all necessary supplies are available and ordered in a timely manner to support seamless operations.
