Be Part of Something New on Chicago’s North Shore
Woodhouse Spa is a high-end luxury day spa national brand with more than 100 locations across the country — and we’re bringing it to the North Shore for the first time. As one of our founding Estheticians, you’ll help set the standard for what “Woodhouse Highland Park” means: brand-new treatment rooms, a professional product line behind you, and a skincare following you build from day one.
The owners: work in the spa day to day as true partners, not a distant corporate office.
Established national brand: you get its marketing muscle, training systems, protocols, and reputation.
A ground-floor opportunity: founding team members get first say on schedule and a clear path to grow as the owners’ North Shore presence expands.

What You’ll Do — The Craft
• Perform professional skin care treatments and facials to Woodhouse protocols
• Analyze each guest’s skin, listen to their goals, and build a treatment plan that actually gets them there
• Educate guests on their skin and recommend the homecare regimen that extends your results between visits
• Deliver a range of treatments — holistic and clinical modalities both welcome here
• Ensure guests have a consistent, phenomenal, high-touch concierge experience from consultation to rebooking
• Use salon software to manage appointments, guest notes, and treatment history

Keep the Space Guest-Ready
• Maintain a clean, organized, and sanitized work area in accordance with Illinois State Board regulations
• Maintain proper product inventory and stock in treatment rooms
• Measure and mix products accurately — basic math skills required
• Remove soiled laundry and assist with opening and closing duties, and report maintenance issues promptly

Be Part of the Founding Team
• Be a steward of the Woodhouse brand and Woodhouse standards
• Cross-train and perform Team Member services as part of ongoing education
• Welcome training on new procedures, protocols, and product lines as the menu grows

What We’re Looking For
• Current Illinois esthetician license (IDFPR) — required, and maintained in good standing per state rules and regulations
• Three years as a Licensed Esthetician preferred; luxury spa experience a strong plus
• Knowledge of a range of esthetic treatments and techniques
• A local clientele you can bring with you is a plus
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills — able to educate, offer solutions, and recommend homecare with confidence.
• Comfortable in a fast-paced environment while keeping a positive attitude and friendly demeanor
• Driven to pursue continuing education and stay the best in your profession
• Regular, consistent attendance, and flexibility to work holidays and weekends.

Physical Requirements
• Must be able to sit and bend over for most of the day
• Must be able to lift up to 35 lbs.
• Must be able to perform multiple services during a shift

Must comply with all company policies and procedures. Regular and consistent attendance is required to perform the essential functions of this position. Other duties may be assigned.
