Experienced and Licensed Esthetician

Holistic Esthetician (Independent Contractor)
Rooted Method | Virginia Beach

At Rooted Method, we believe the skin is a reflection of the whole person. Our approach to wellness is intentional, integrative, and rooted in long-term results—not quick fixes.

We are expanding our offerings to include luxury, holistic facial treatments and are seeking an experienced esthetician to lead and grow this category within our established, high-end spa.

This is a rare opportunity to step into a fully supported environment with an existing, loyal clientele—while helping shape a facial program grounded in education, integrity, and inside-out skin health.

About the Role

This position is for an esthetician who practices beyond the surface.

You understand the connection between skin and lifestyle, stress, hormones, digestion, inflammation, and the nervous system. You are thoughtful in your assessments, intentional in your treatments, and committed to supporting the skin’s natural function and long-term resilience.

You don’t just perform facials—you guide, educate, and create transformation over time.

What You’ll Do

• Deliver customized, high-end facial treatments using a holistic, results-driven approach
• Conduct in-depth consultations, assessing both internal and external contributors to skin health
• Develop thoughtful, long-term treatment plans focused on barrier repair, circulation, and lymphatic flow
• Educate clients on skin physiology, home care, and lifestyle factors with clarity and confidence
• Maintain detailed and accurate client records
• Exercise strong clinical judgment, adapting or declining services when appropriate
• Collaborate with our team to create a seamless, elevated client experience
• Contribute to the development and refinement of our facial offerings

Clinical Awareness

You are confident navigating contraindications and complex skin presentations, including:

• Acne, rosacea, and compromised or inflamed skin
• Pregnancy and postpartum changes
• Autoimmune conditions and chronic health concerns
• Medications (retinoids, antibiotics, hormone therapies, injectables)
• Recent aesthetic treatments (lasers, peels, microneedling, injectables)

Client safety, skin integrity, and ethical decision-making are always your priority.

What We Provide

We’ve built the foundation so you can focus on your craft:

• Beautiful, fully equipped treatment rooms
• Professional skincare products, tools, and equipment
• Front desk support and scheduling management
• Marketing, brand visibility, and client acquisition
• Payment processing and operational systems
• Laundry, cleaning, and room turnover
• An established, loyal clientele and strong brand presence

You bring the expertise—we handle the rest.

What We’re Looking For

• Licensed Esthetician in Virginia
• Minimum 4 years of hands-on experience in a reputable spa, clinic, or luxury wellness setting
• Proven ability to build and retain a discerning clientele
• Strong foundation in holistic skin health, facial techniques, and ingredient knowledge
• Calm, confident, and professional presence
• High standards for cleanliness, discretion, and service
• Ability to work independently while aligning with a team-focused environment
• Commitment to continued education and growth

Position Details

• Independent Contractor (1099)
• Flexible schedule (evenings and weekends preferred)
• Full-time, part-time, or contract opportunities available
• In-person (Virginia Beach)

Why This Opportunity

This is not a build-from-scratch role.

You are stepping into a well-established, thoughtfully built spa with the systems, support, and clientele already in place—allowing you to focus on delivering exceptional results and growing your practice with intention.

If you are a seasoned esthetician who values depth, integrity, and long-term skin health, I would love to connect.
