Lead a team that likes to win—and likes working together.
Our locally owned European Wax Center group includes two San Diego County locations: Pacific Beach and Santee. Together, our teams serve nearly 3,000 guests each month and have earned national recognition for top performance.
What makes our centers different is the culture behind those results:
High standards. Honest communication. Strong support. No unnecessary drama.
We work hard, celebrate wins, address challenges directly, and invest in helping people grow. Our managers explain the why, not just the what, and understand that accountability and kindness belong on the same team.
We are looking for a Center Manager who can develop great people, deliver an outstanding guest experience, and take ownership of the center’s results.

- Complimentary waxing services
- 40% discount on our exclusive product portfolio
- Leadership training and ongoing support
- Full-time, non-exempt position

What You’ll Own
- Recruit, select, onboard, and retain outstanding team members
- Coach Wax Specialists and Guest Service Associates toward individual and center goals
- Create a workplace where people feel supported, appreciated, and accountable
- Lead service, wax pass, reservation, guest-retention, and retail performance
- Review center results and turn the numbers into clear action plans

The Leader We’re Looking For
You may be a strong fit if you:
- Have successfully led, coached, or developed a team
- Know how to motivate different personalities without lowering expectations
- Communicate clearly during both good news and difficult conversations
- Enjoy working toward measurable sales and performance goals
- Look ahead and solve staffing or operational needs before they become emergencies
- Develop capable team members instead of trying to do everything yourself
- Bring positive energy, sound judgment, and consistent follow-through
Management experience in retail, beauty, wellness, fitness, hospitality, or another service-focused business is preferred. Beauty-industry or European Wax Center experience is helpful, but not required.
