Essential Duties and Responsibilities

• Welcome each guest, introduce yourself, and confirm the service booked. Discuss the guest’s preferred nail length, shape, color, and finish. Explain the time and price of any requested enhancements before proceeding.
• Ask about product sensitivities and allergies. Check the nails and surrounding skin for visible cuts, irritation, or other concerns that may require modifying or postponing the service. Refer concerns that need medical evaluation to a qualified health care professional.

• Follow hand hygiene procedures, clean and disinfect reusable implements and work surfaces, and discard single-use items after each guest. Clean and disinfect pedicure basins according to the equipment instructions and spa procedures, and complete the required cleaning logs.
• Label, store, and handle nail products according to manufacturer instructions. Check equipment before use, replenish supplies, and report damaged tools or equipment to spa leadership.
• Keep appointments on schedule while allowing time to prepare the station between guests. Communicate delays or service changes to spa reception and record relevant guest preferences discreetly.

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

• Knowledge of nail anatomy, manicure and pedicure techniques, product application and removal, and infection prevention practices.
• Precision and attention to detail when shaping nails, working near the skin, and applying polish evenly.
