CEROLOGIST™ — WAX SPECIALIST Waxing the City – Lakeland, FL | Part-Time to Full-Time MUST BE CURRENTLY LICENSED as an Esthetician or Cosmetologist in Florida

ABOUT US

Waxing the City – Lakeland is a locally owned studio within a national brand, built on quality, consistency, and care. We help people feel confident through expert services delivered in a clean, modern, and professional environment. We take our craft seriously and believe great results come from strong standards, teamwork, and continuous improvement.

WHO THRIVES HERE

If you've ever loved helping a client find exactly the right product, talked someone into a membership they ended up genuinely grateful for, or built a loyal following through real connection and consistency — you'll fit right in here.

Strong candidates often come from:

Beauty retail (advisor or keyholder roles)

Medical spas — front desk, patient coordinator, or membership sales

Waxing studios or day spas with a product sales or client retention focus

Fitness studios or wellness brands with membership-based sales experience

Any retail environment where client education and relationship-building drive results

Prior waxing experience is welcome but not required. Every Cerologist™ — regardless of background — completes our full training program and learns Waxing the City's proprietary techniques and service standards. The most important thing you bring is the right mindset, client instincts, and coachability.

ABOUT THE ROLE

This role is equal parts service professional and client experience specialist. You'll deliver high-quality waxing services, build lasting client relationships, and contribute to a studio culture where everyone is invested in shared success. The best Cerologists here are consultative by nature — they genuinely enjoy helping clients understand their options, make confident decisions, and keep coming back.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Actively recommend memberships or service packages, and retail products through consultative, client-first conversations

Build and retain a personal book of clients through strong rebooking habits and relationship-building

Perform waxing services in accordance with Waxing the City training, protocols, and quality standards

Conduct thorough consultations and follow up to ensure client comfort, safety, and excellent results

Educate clients on services, aftercare, and enhancement options in a way that feels helpful, not salesy

Maintain clean, stocked, and professional treatment rooms at all times

Participate in studio marketing efforts, including creating or participating in social media content and community events

Follow all sanitation, safety, and operational procedures without exception

Show up prepared, on time, and ready to contribute to a team-first environment

Receive feedback professionally, apply it consistently, and continue growing

Required:

Current Florida Esthetician or Cosmetologist license

At least 18 years of age

Strongly Preferred:

Experience in consultative sales, beauty retail, or membership-based environments

Demonstrated ability to recommend products or services in a way that builds trust rather than pressure

Comfort having natural, confident conversations about memberships, packages, and enhancements

Track record of building loyal client relationships and a consistent book of business

Essential Traits:

Coachability — genuine openness to learning our specific techniques, even if you have prior waxing experience

Willingness to unlearn previous habits and follow our standards consistently — not just during training

Ability to create a warm, welcoming experience for clients with varying personalities, including nervous or guarded first-timers

Emotional intelligence and professionalism when handling difficult client interactions

Team-first attitude — pitching in on cleaning, events, or studio needs without being asked

Reliability and schedule stability — your teammates and clients count on you being there

Comfort with social media for beauty-related content

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

Complete training and consistently perform services according to Waxing the City standards

Grow your book through strong rebooking rates, membership conversions, and product recommendations clients genuinely value

Comfortably navigate membership and package conversations — offering the right option for each client's situation
