Job description

Licensed Esthetician / Wax Specialist

Build a real career in beauty — without renting a suite, buying supplies, finding your own clients, or worrying about what comes next.

European Wax Center is looking for licensed Estheticians and Cosmetologists who want more than “just a job". We are looking for career-minded professionals who want to grow, earn great money, master their craft, and be part of a strong team.

Our Wax Specialists can earn excellent income with hourly pay, tips, commissions, bonuses, paid training, benefits, and long-term growth opportunities. Many of our top performers earn more per hour than people in many traditional four-year degree careers — without having to run their own business after hours.

Why this career is different

At EWC, you get to focus on what you do best: helping guests look and feel confident.

We provide the guests, the training, the products, the systems, the marketing, the support, a set schedule for better work life balance and the career path. When your shift is over, you get to go home. No ordering supplies. No chasing clients. No advertising yourself. No handling business headaches alone.

Typical total compensation

After training: $23-$25+ per hour

After 4-6 months: $25-$33+ per hour

Approaching 1 year and beyond: $33-$40+ per hour

Total compensation includes hourly pay, tips, commission, and bonus opportunities.

What we offer

• Paid training in European Wax Center’s nationally recognized speed waxing techniques
• Hourly pay plus tips, commissions, and bonuses
• Paid time off for full-time associates
• Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance options
• 401(k) with up to 5% employer match
• Quarterly merit-based raise opportunities
• Free waxing and 40% off products
• Anniversary bonus
• Referral bonus opportunities
• Set schedules for better work-life balance
• Career growth into leadership, training, and support roles
• A clean, professional, high-volume center environment
• A team culture that values accountability, positivity, and growth

This is a great fit if you are:

• A licensed Texas Esthetician or Cosmetologist
• Career-minded and looking for long-term growth
• Positive, outgoing, and comfortable talking with guests
• Open to coaching, training, sales goals, and performance feedback
• Reliable, punctual, and professional
• Comfortable working a weekend shift as part of a set schedule
• Excited to specialize in waxing and become excellent at it
• Interested in being part of a team, not working alone

This may not be the right fit if you are:

• Only looking for short‑term training before opening your own business
• Currently focused on building your own solo beauty brand or client book
• Not comfortable with sales coaching, goals, or guest education
• Looking for a temporary job instead of a long‑term career path
• Unable to commit to consistent attendance, scheduling, and team standards
• We invest heavily in our Wax Specialists through paid training, coaching, guest development, and career support. Because of that, we are looking for people who want to grow with our company and represent the European Wax Center brand with pride.

What you will do

• Perform high‑quality body and facial waxing services
• Educate guests on waxing consistency, aftercare, and products
• Recommend Wax Passes and home‑care products when appropriate
• Create a positive, confident guest experience
• Maintain cleanliness, safety, and brand standards
• Work toward individual and center goals as part of a team

Schedule

• Weekday morning shift: 8:30 AM - 3:00 PM
• Weekday evening shift: 2:30 PM - 9:00 PM
• Weekend shift: 8:30 AM - 6:30 PM
• One Weekend shift is required.

Requirements

• Active Texas Esthetician or Cosmetologist license required
• Positive attitude and strong communication skills required
• Sales, customer service, or beauty industry experience is helpful
• Waxing experience is welcome, but not required — we provide paid training
