Jul 07, 2021

Work for a company that doesn’t use synthetic chemicals and is committed to doing things the best way, which also happens to be the natural way! In fact, we’re pioneers in clean beauty. Since 1992 we’ve been making award-winning, eco-friendly skincare, bodycare and teas.

Our locally made, organic skincare and bodycare products have a proven track record of fantastic results, and many devoted clients. Our innovative skincare line isn’t just amazing for your skin, it also brings serenity to your day, because it has mindfulness benefits built in. Follow this link to discover more:
Silk Road Skincare. This makes it wonderful for clients to use at home, and it creates a wonderful environment for you to work in.

In contrast to our workplace, the beauty industry and spas often have a high carbon footprint and use ingredients and packaging that pollute the earth and oceans with microplastics. In fact, “the average woman puts 515 synthetic chemicals on her body every day without knowing. And 60 percent of what we put onto our skin is absorbed into our bodies.” (Source: Huffington Post)

When you’re an esthetician your exposure is likely to be even higher than this because you’re performing services on multiple clients a day. But there is a better way – we make products and perform services without polluting the environment or our bodies with chemicals. Our products are also vegan and gluten-free.

Our award-winning Spa is a leader in sustainability, with green practices at the heart of everything we do. Join our team at ‘CANADA’S BEST ORGANIC SPA’ (Glow Magazine) and enjoy an eco-friendly workplace for you, as well as working with locally made products that are good for people and the planet.

Our Spa specializes in skincare, which means the services you provide are primarily our exquisite facial treatments. Our Spa Practitioners love this about working for us, as facials are easier on the body to perform. We do not offer pedicures, manicures, or waxing.

We believe in supporting our clients through education, demos, workshops, skincare consultations and wellness coaching, in addition to providing hands-on services. Therefore, your role with us is a dynamic one where your time is spent providing skincare consultations, offering demos, workshops, making retail sales and performing spa services.

Please note that our spa is currently closed due to Covid-19, however we are filling positions for estheticians now. While we wait for the spa to re-open, you will receive training on our signature spa services and your role in the meantime is retail sales, offering skincare consultations, wellness coaching, demos, and workshops.

We offer competitive wages and reward demonstrated skills and performance. Plus, we are an environment where you can learn, grow, further develop your skills, and be your Best Self.
