About the Role
At Soothe and Infinity spas, we believe beautiful nails begin with happiness which is why Sharing Smiles is at the heart of our award-winning workplace. As a Licensed Nail Technician on our celebrated team, you'll bring this philosophy to life through exceptional manicures, pedicures, and gel treatments that do more than polish nails, they create joyful, confidence-boosting experiences. Your expertise and warm, personalized approach will transform routine appointments into cherished self-care moments, whether through customized nail care, thoughtful product recommendations, or simply remembering each guest's favorite polish shade. Here, you'll be part of a distinguished culture that values both professional excellence and human connection, where your skills will flourish alongside a team as passionate about outstanding service as you are.
We're looking for a Colorado-licensed manicurist or cosmetologist (DORA-certified) who shares our dedication to technical mastery and heartfelt hospitality. While spa experience is preferred, what matters most is your enthusiasm for creating positive experiences and growing within our supportive, smile driven community. Join us in our mission to deliver not just flawless nail services, but unforgettable moments that leave every guest, and you smiling.
