Senior Beauty Therapist role in South Croydon
This role suits a therapist who combines technical strength with maturity. Someone who can deliver excellent intimate waxing, results-focused facials and professional massage without drama, without hand-holding and without cutting corners.
At Queen B, standards matter. Hygiene matters. Consultation quality matters. Guest experience matters. We are looking for someone who takes pride in all of that and understands that consistency is what builds loyalty, not shortcuts.
This role may also suit an experienced Senior Beauty Therapist, Lead Beauty Therapist, Spa Therapist, Waxing Specialist, Facial Therapist or Massage Therapist looking for a permanent full-time role in Croydon or South London.
This is a serious role for a serious therapist. If you are highly capable in waxing, facials and massage, care about standards and can work weekends as part of a full-time rota, this is the role to consider.

Queen B is currently a Scratch Stars Awards 2026 finalist for Nail and Beauty Salon of the Year, and our guests know us for consistency, care and high standards.
