LOVE WHAT YOU DO

At Waxing the City, we are passionate about helping clients look and feel their best — and that starts with a team who loves what they do. Our Assistant Managers are key leaders who support studio operations, empower team success, and elevate the client experience every step of the way.

We’re seeking a licensed esthetician or cosmetologist who thrives in a hands-on leadership role and wants to grow their career in a supportive, high-performance environment. This is a hybrid role combining studio coordination, team development, local marketing execution, and client service (including at least two weekly Cerologist® shifts). You will work closely with the Studio Manager to carry out day-to-day responsibilities in the studio, helping drive both culture and performance on the ground.

SUMMARY

The Assistant Manager is responsible for supporting the Studio Manager in the execution of all in-studio operations and leadership needs. This includes overseeing the client experience, assisting with training and performance development, maintaining studio upkeep, and leading or participating in local marketing events and partnerships. This is an ideal role for a licensed beauty professional who wants to develop their business and leadership skills while still staying active in the treatment room.

ROLE SCOPE AND COMPLEXITY

You’ll play a key role in employee development, service delivery, and local outreach while also performing Cerologist® services. You are proactive, confident, and committed to supporting both team and client needs.
