Now Hiring: Experienced Spa Manager & Lead Esthetician

Glow Up Studio is the top-rated Facial Spa and Lash & Brow Bar in Dallas —serving thousands of loyal guests with facials, metabolic peels, lash extensions and lifts, brow laminations, and more. We’re a woman-owned, independent beauty boutique where artistry meets purpose—and every guest experience is tailored with care. We help our clients feel confident and beautiful at every age and stage. And we empower our team to do their best work, grow professionally, and truly love what they do.

Who we are looking for

Are you an experienced Spa/Salon Manager with a strong Esthetician background ready to take charge of a growing beauty concept? Glow Up Studio is looking for a seasoned Studio Manager and Esthetician to lead our team, manage day-to-day operations, and perform advanced facial & beauty services 2 days per week.

This hybrid role is perfect for someone who loves coaching a team, driving results, and delivering elevated skincare and beauty transformation experiences.

• You're the kind of person who makes people feel taken care of — whether you’re answering the phone, helping a guest, or leading a team huddle.
• You love the art of the upgrade — you’re naturally great at suggesting the right add-on or product, and you’re excited to coach others to do the same.
• Details matter to you — from checking schedules to setting the vibe of the studio, you take pride in making sure nothing slips through the cracks.
• You keep calm when it’s busy, handle curveballs with grace, and don’t wait to be asked — you just get it done.
• You know how to lead with kindness and clarity — whether you’re giving feedback, handling a guest concern, or keeping the energy up during a long day.
• Your team can count on you — you show up on time, communicate well, and you’re all about collaboration — not competition.
• You’re curious, coachable, and motivated to help both the business and your teammates grow.
• You have a way with words — whether it’s chatting with a guest or sending a clear, friendly message to the team, communication is your strength.
• You’ve worked in a busy spa, salon, or hospitality setting before — and you’re familiar with the pace, the bookings, and the expectations.
• You’re tech-savvy, love a good Google Sheet, and can navigate booking platforms without breaking a sweat (Zenoti experience is a plus!).
• Have consistent attendance, punctuality, and weekend availability (this is a leadership role — your presence matters!).
• You don’t just talk about high standards — you live them, and you expect the same from your team.
