Junior Lash Artist

Junior Lash Artist at Northampton Lashes LLC Job Description Paid Training & Growth Opportunity - Part-Time | 12 hours per week to start | Starting Pay: $17/hour Northampton Lashes is expanding and hiring two part-time Junior Lash Artists to join our team. This position is designed for licensed cosmetologists or aestheticians who are newer to lash extensions and want hands-on experience, mentorship, and the opportunity to develop into confident, professional lash artists. You do not need to be an experienced lash artist. We are looking for candidates who are licensed, dependable, detail-oriented, professional, receptive to feedback, and genuinely interested in developing their lash career. Our goal is to provide a structured path from training and supervised practice to independently servicing paying clients and building a clientele at Northampton Lashes. Required Licensing Applicants must hold a current Massachusetts Cosmetologist or Aesthetician license and remain properly licensed while performing services at Northampton Lashes. Previous lash experience is helpful but not required. We are specifically interested in candidates who have the proper professional licensing and want to further develop their lash-extension skills. Required 30-Day Training Availability Both new hires must be available Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday from 9:00 AM-1:00 PM (12 hours per week). This availability is required for the entire first 30 days, regardless of whether you are applying for the eventual morning or afternoon position. The first 30 days are paid at $17/hour. Training and onboarding will include shadowing, mannequin practice, model appointments, lash application and removal, sanitation and infection-control procedures, client experience, studio standards, Vagaro/booking procedures, cleaning, laundry, inventory, restocking, and other practical skills necessary to work independently at Northampton Lashes. Schedule After the Initial 30 Days Following successful completion of the introductory training period, the two positions will separate into: Morning Junior Lash Artist: Tuesday-Thursday, 9:00 AM-1:00 PM Afternoon Junior Lash Artist: Tuesday-Thursday, 1:30 PM-5:30 PM Applicants interested in the afternoon position must still be available from 9:00 AM-1:00 PM during the first 30 days of training. There may be opportunities for additional hours as artists progress, build clientele, and Northampton Lashes continues to grow. Compensation & Earning Potential All scheduled working time during the initial training period is paid at $17/hour, including training, shadowing, model work, cleaning, sanitation, laundry, restocking, inventory, and other assigned studio responsibilities. After the introductory period, Junior Artists will have the opportunity to progress through Northampton Lashes' tiered compensation structure. As an artist demonstrates improved technique, timing, retention, consistency, professionalism, and the ability to independently service paying clients, their earning potential increases. Artists can progress from introductory hourly pay into higher service-based compensation as their experience, speed, service level, and clientele grow. This position is intended to provide long-term earning growth - not remain a $17/hour position indefinitely. Specific compensation tiers, advancement requirements, and earning potential will be discussed during the interview process so candidates have a clear understanding of how they can progress within Northampton Lashes.
