Guest Sales Associate, Greater Chicago

Guest Sales Associate | Chicago

Great energy. Big personality. Uncapped potential for growth.

At EWC Growth, smooth is just the start. We're one of the largest and fastest-growing franchisees of European Wax Center, with 52 locations (and counting!) across five states. And Chicago? It's our largest market, with even bigger plans ahead. We're looking for outgoing, sales-driven Guest Sales Associates (GSAs) who know how to turn a first-time visitor into a loyal guest.

If you love beauty, skincare, connecting with people, and crushing sales goals, this might just be your next obsession. We're looking for natural relationship-builders who bring personality, confidence, and a passion for delivering an unforgettable guest experience. We're looking for individuals to support the following centers:

Lincoln Park | Lincoln Square | Logan Square | Old Town | River North

South Loop | Southport | Streeterville | West Loop | Wicker Park

The Role | Be the Face of Smooth

As a Guest Sales Associate, you're the first hello, the friendly face, and the reason our guests can't wait to come back.

You'll own the front-of-house experience, introduce guests to our exclusive skincare products, recommend services, and help them discover the benefits of a consistent waxing routine.

This isn't your typical front desk job. It's beauty, sales, hospitality, and a whole lot of personality.
