Why Work at Cultivate Aesthetics
We are a tight-knit group that deeply cares for our patients. We pride ourselves on cultivating patients' natural beauty.
As the Aesthetician, you own the skincare side of the practice: facials, peels, dermaplaning, microneedling, lasers, and medical-grade skincare routines. You'll work from protocols set with the owner, Sarah Mardigian, recommend products based on what you see in the room, and handle patient follow-up and check-ins. Weeks also include producing the practice's social content and content for your personal brand.
This is a part-time(full-time is possible if desired), on-site role in Lansing, Michigan, for a Michigan-licensed Aesthetician, with hours built around patient demand, on a tight-knit team of nurse practitioners and physician assistants.
What the Work Looks Like
A shift moves between the treatment room and the desk. Busy blocks mean back-to-back treatments with the room reset between each one; slower stretches mean charting, follow-up texts, and restocking. Some days include a CE course; others call for a reel, or a couple of Instagram stories shot between patients. The schedule shifts with patient demand. The standard for room cleanliness and documentation does not.
Who Belongs Here
-
Recommends the treatment or product that helps the patient reach the desired outcome.
-
Notices the follow-up call that hasn't happened yet or the supply order that's about to run out, and handles it without waiting to be asked.
-
Keeps the same calm pace in the treatment room whether the schedule is half full or completely packed.
-
Treats one CE course or certification a quarter as part of the job, brings back something the rest of the team can use, and shares it on social media.
-
Cultivates kindness, respectfulness, and safety for patients and coworkers.
-
Hard-working, accountable, and takes pride in their work.
Compensation:
$50,000 - $90,000 yearly
Responsibilities:
- Deliver personalized skincare treatments, including facials, peels, and microneedling, to enhance patient satisfaction and outcomes.
- Collaborate with the owner, Sarah Mardigian, to follow established protocols and recommend tailored skincare products.
