HELLO SUGAR IS HIRING ANCHORS. NOT FLOATERS. We're the largest sugar-and-wax-focused salon group in Houston — 15 locations, ~75 estheticians, growing. We also do lash/brow tints, chemical peels, and laser hair removal. If you're licensed in Texas and you want a career instead of a stopover, read all of this before you message us. ──────────────────────────────── WHAT THE LAST 12 MONTHS ACTUALLY LOOKED LIKE FOR OUR TOP 5 (Mar 2025 – Mar 2026): — $67,698 in service sales (Cypress) — 80% prebook — $68,552 (Katy) — $62,149 (Sugar Land) — $55,962 (Sugar Land — $54,003 (Katy/Cypress) Those are service-sale totals — her client paid, we tracked it, it's real. Each of those five has been with us 2+ years. Each prebooks 70–80% of clients. Annualize and they're each bringing in ~$110K–$125K in bookings a year. These commissions are on full time schedules We want to hire more people like them. We know what that pattern looks like because we've measured it. ──────────────────────────────── THE COMP MATH, UNREDACTED: • SERVICE COMMISSION: 20% (Apprentice) scaling to 25.94% (Expert High). Based on memberships sold, not on politics., • LASER COMMISSION: $5–$72 per service on top of base commission, tier-based, • RETAIL COMMISSION: 25%, • TIPS: roughly $3K–$8K/yr depending on room time, • PTO: 1 hour per 30 hours worked, cashable out — you don't have to take time off to get paid for it, • LASER CERTIFICATION SCHOLARSHIP: We pay $2,400 toward your laser tech certification. You pay a $100 deposit. That's a real credential that sticks with you. TIER ADVANCEMENT IS OBJECTIVE: • 100 memberships sold → Intermediate, • 200 memberships → Advanced, • 300 → Distinguished REALISTIC TOTAL COMP BY CHAIR TIME AND TIER: • New licensee, first year, full-time: $20K–$35K, • 1–2 years, Advanced tier, consistent MCR: $25K–$55K, • Expert tier with laser certification: $45K–$75K+, • Top performers like the five names above: $50K–$80K+ We do not tell you "up to $80K." We tell you the tier ladder and let you pick where you want to end up. ──────────────────────────────── WHAT WE NEED YOU TO HAVE: • Active Texas esthetician license. No exceptions. If you're weeks away from finishing school, message us anyway — we'll start the conversation., • Willingness to prebook clients and recommend memberships. If asking a client "want me to get you back on the calendar in four weeks?" feels pushy to you, this isn't your salon — we live and die by prebook rate and we won't pretend otherwise., • Reliability. Our best estheticians are almost never on the call-out list. Our coaching plans are full of people who are. Consistent attendance isn't a bonus here — it's the floor., • A team mindset. We operate 15 salons as one business. You'll have a home location but you'll sometimes pick up a shift at a sister salon., • Calm under pressure. Waxing and sugaring are intimate services. Clients are sometimes anxious, sometimes uncomfortable, sometimes talkative, sometimes silent. Your job is to make the next 15 minutes easy for them regardless. ──────────────────────────────── WHAT WE DO NOT NEED YOU TO HAVE: • Sugaring experience. If you can wax, you can learn to sugar in about two weeks with our mandatory training. We'll teach you., • Laser experience. We'll pay for the NILA scholarship once you're eligible (~90 days in + meeting the MCR minimum)., • A huge client book on day one. One top Esthetician in Katy has built hers at ONE location and does 243 appointments a month. You can do that here too. We'll coach you into it., • A perfect MCR (Sales Ratio) from day one. Our network average is ~41%. The growth is coaching, not selection. ──────────────────────────────── WHO THRIVES HERE (from 2 years of our own data): • They prebook 70%+. The gap between our top and bottom performers is not skill — it's prebook discipline., • They work one home location. The highest-earning esthetician in the network has done 12,086 appointments at the same salon over 3 years. Anchors, not floaters., • They don't explain away low numbers with "this clientele doesn't buy" or "this location is bad." They improve their technique and their script., • They're steady humans. Low callouts. Low interpersonal drama. They show up, they do the work, they go home, they come back tomorrow., • They compound. The math of this career rewards showing up for 2+ years more than it rewards being flashy for 6 months. If that sounds like you, we want to meet. ──────────────────────────────── WHO DOES NOT THRIVE HERE (be honest with yourself): • Clock-in/clock-out with no interest in selling memberships → you'll earn 20% less than your coworkers and feel bad about it., • Chronic callouts (more than 1–2 per quarter) → we will coach you, then we will have to let you go. We've had to do this, recently. We don't love it., • Interpersonal drama with coworkers, clients, or management → we run a small enough company that this is visible fast and wrecks a salon's culture., • Blaming the neighborhood, the clientele, or the manager for your numbers → our CEO's coaching principle is literally "don't blame the clients, improve your technique." If you disagree with that premise, this won't fit., • Looking for a gig to bridge to something else in 6 months → we train hard and the math only works if you stay. Our anchors are 2+ year people. If you read those five items and recognize yourself in two or more, please don't apply. We'd rather you find the right salon than waste your interview slot. ──────────────────────────────── GROWTH PATH (THIS IS A REAL LADDER, NOT A BROCHURE PROMISE): Esthetician → Advanced → Distinguished → Expert ↓ Success Coach (lead a 6–8 person pod, coach MCR and prebook) ↓ District Manager (run a 7–8 location district) ↓ Quality Manager (support all DMs) Three of our five current top performers are on that ladder right now. 2 are Success Coaches. Our Quality Manager started the same way. Our Success Coach Playbook's literal opening line: "As a Success Coach, you have the most important role in the entire company." We mean it. ──────────────────────────────── WHAT YOU GET: • Paid training in sugaring, waxing, lash/brow, sales, and software (Boulevard), • Paid NILA laser certification pathway ($2,400 scholarship) once you're eligible, • A dedicated Success Coach in your hub whose job is to make you better at this, • Monthly Town Halls, monthly 1:1s, quarterly recognition, • A red-carpet rollout for top MCR/prebook performers (not kidding — Takyra Cooper got ours when she went 3 months as #1), • Coverage across 15 Houston locations — home salon plus pickup shifts if you want them, • A membership-based clientele that keeps coming back. You're not rebuilding your book every week. ──────────────────────────────── BILINGUAL? Speaking Spanish is a real advantage in the Houston market. Two of our top five performers are bilingual and it directly drives their prebook rates. Call it out in your message. ──────────────────────────────── HOW TO APPLY Message us here on JOB TODAY with these four things. This is not a formality — we actually read them, and we reply within 24 hours. 1. Your active TX esthetician license number (or expected license date if you're wrapping up school), 2. Your current salon + how long you've been there (we're not judging, we want the real picture), 3. What your current prebook rate or sales rate is, to the best of your knowledge. Don't know? Say "don't know." We like honesty., 4. One sentence: why Hello Sugar specifically? Qualified candidates get a 20-minute phone screen within a week. Promising candidates get an in-person interview at a Houston salon close to where you live — and yes, we'll ask you to do a short sugaring demo. We're interviewing your hands as much as your answers.
