**Aqua Vida Aesthetics & Wellness | Havre de Grace, MD**
About the Position
This is an ideal opportunity for an esthetician who is passionate about skin health, motivated to grow their clientele, and excited to work within a collaborative medical aesthetics and wellness environment.
We are not simply looking for someone to perform services during scheduled appointments. We are looking for a provider who takes **ownership of their role and professional growth**—someone who wants to build lasting client relationships, educate clients, participate in practice growth, and develop a successful career alongside Aqua Vida.
What You'll Do
As an esthetician at Aqua Vida, you will:
* Perform professional esthetic treatments within your scope of practice and training

* Build and maintain strong relationships with clients to encourage retention and continuity of care
* Actively work to develop and grow your personal clientele
* Follow up with clients and identify opportunities to continue their treatment plans
* Participate consistently in social media and content creation to educate clients, showcase services, and build visibility
* Capture appropriate before-and-after photos and treatment content
* Collaborate with nurses, nurse practitioners, injectors, and wellness providers when a client's concerns may benefit from a multidisciplinary approach
* Recognize when skin concerns may warrant further discussion of factors such as hormones, nutrition, lifestyle, wellness, or laboratory evaluation with an appropriate medical provider
* Participate in practice events, promotions, educational initiatives, and community outreach
* Maintain accurate client documentation and follow all practice protocols
* Maintain a clean, organized, prepared, and professional treatment environment
* Contribute ideas and take initiative in helping improve the client experience and grow the esthetics department

At Aqua Vida Aesthetics & Wellness, we believe investing in our team is an investment in our clients. We are committed to providing our employees with opportunities to learn, grow, and advance their careers while rewarding performance and exceptional client care.
Who We're Looking For
Our ideal candidate is:
**Driven.** You are motivated to build a successful book of business rather than waiting for clients to appear on your schedule.
**Dependable.** You understand that punctuality, attendance, preparation, and consistency directly affect your clients and your teammates.
**Client-focused.** You genuinely care about building relationships and helping clients achieve meaningful, long-term results.
**Collaborative.** You enjoy working alongside other providers and recognize that the best answer for a client isn't always another facial or skincare product.
**Growth-minded.** You seek opportunities to improve your knowledge, technique, client experience, and professional skills.
**Comfortable with social media.** You understand that visibility and education are important parts of building a modern esthetics practice and are willing to participate consistently in photos, videos, educational content, and social media initiatives.
**Proactive.** You notice what needs to be done, bring ideas to the table, and take action without requiring constant direction.
**Invested.** You treat your position as an important part of your career and want to contribute to the success of the practice, not simply clock in, perform services, and leave.
Qualifications
* Current esthetician license in good standing
* Strong knowledge of skin health, skincare, and professional esthetic treatments
* Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
* Professional appearance and demeanor
* Reliable and punctual
* Strong commitment to client service and relationship building
* Willingness to participate in social media and marketing initiatives
* Ability to work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team
* Commitment to continuing education and professional development

Our Approach to Client Care
At Aqua Vida, we believe aesthetics and wellness are interconnected.
When a client presents with acne, changes in skin quality, premature aging, or another concern, we want our providers to think beyond the treatment room. What is happening with the client's skincare routine? Lifestyle? Nutrition? Hormones? Overall wellness?
Our estheticians are not expected to diagnose or practice outside of their scope. Instead, we value providers who recognize when another member of our team may offer an important perspective and who are comfortable collaborating with our medical and wellness providers.
We believe this approach creates better client experiences, stronger relationships, and more meaningful results.
Apply
If you are a motivated esthetician who loves skin health, enjoys connecting with clients, wants to build a thriving clientele, and is excited by a more comprehensive approach to aesthetics and wellness, we would love to hear from you.
Please submit your cover letter and résumé and tell us briefly about **your approach to esthetics, how you build relationships with clients, and what you are looking for in your next professional home.**
**Location:** Havre de Grace, Maryland
**License:** Maryland Esthetician License required
