Job Description

Hand & Stone is seeking an experienced Multi-Unit Esthetics Leader to oversee and grow the Esthetics Departments across five Austin-area spa locations.

The ideal candidate brings three things to the table:

Esthetics expertise. Strong team leadership. Proven business and sales acumen.

You’ll partner with ownership, spa managers, and location-level Esthetics Leads to develop teams, drive department performance, strengthen education, and create a consistent, exceptional esthetics experience across all five locations.

THE OPPORTUNITY

If you've mastered the treatment room and are ready to expand your impact, this role gives you the opportunity to influence an entire market.

You'll have ownership and influence over:

• 5 spa locations
• Esthetics department performance and growth
• Lead Esthetician development

• Lead strategies to grow advanced treatment, service upgrade, and retail performance
• Coach teams on consultations, treatment planning, home-care recommendations, and client retention
• Help Estheticians connect excellent clinical recommendations with strong business results

Own Training & Development

• Coordinate the Licensed Esthetician new-hire experience, including onboarding and initial training
• Support ongoing technical, product, sales, and leadership education

• Maintain consistent operational and professional standards across locations

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

We're looking for someone who understands that running a successful Esthetics Department requires more than being great at skincare.

Multi-unit leadership experience is strongly preferred.

Leadership experience within spa, beauty, wellness, retail, hospitality, or another sales and service-driven business is also highly valued.

SCHEDULE & TRAVEL

The role requires:

• Regular presence across all five locations
