About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Ever pictured yourself at the heart of Al Ain’s thriving beauty scene, bringing creativity and care to every set of nails you touch? We’re seeking a talented Nail Technician who’s as passionate about the latest techniques as she is about customer comfort. This is more than just a chair in a salon — it’s your opportunity to become part of a close-knit team in one of the city’s most welcoming neighborhoods, the Souq Area in Oud Al Touba.
About the Company
Nestled in the lively Souq Area, our salon has built a reputation for top-tier nail artistry and genuine warmth. Here, clients feel like friends, and returning visitors are proof that our team’s skill and kindness don’t go unnoticed. We love sharing new designs, trading industry tips, and, yes, keeping our coffee pot full for those long appointment days. Fridays? Those are for celebrating the week’s best designs (and a little cake, if we’re honest).
What You’ll Be Doing
- Crafting flawless nail extensions and stunning designs using gel, ceramic, and the latest trends in nail art
- Performing careful, hygienic manicures and pedicures for a loyal, style-savvy clientele
- Listening closely to client needs and suggesting colors, shapes, or styles that match their personality — never just “the basics”
- Maintaining a tidy, welcoming workspace; every detail matters when it comes to guest comfort
- Troubleshooting nail concerns with a gentle touch and a solutions-driven mindset
- Sharing design inspiration and learning alongside a supportive, fun-loving team
What You’ll Bring
- At least five years’ hands-on experience in nail care, including installation, advanced nail designs, ceramics, gel techniques, and routine care
- Valid local residency and eligibility to work in the UAE
- A talent for making guests feel valued — you’re known for your patience, empathy, and ability to brighten someone’s day
- A keen eye for design, color, and emerging beauty trends
- Comfort communicating in a professional, friendly manner with clients from all walks of life
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Competitive salary structure (and room for tips from happy clients)
- Supportive, close-knit team where everyone pitches in
- Regular access to training on the industry’s newest styles and techniques
- Friendly management that values your ideas and work-life balance
- Convenient central location in Oud Al Touba — you’ll meet clients from across Al Ain
- Our team celebrates wins big and small, and everyone gets credit for great work
You’ll find more than a job here — you’ll find a home for your talent and a team that backs you every step of the way. Let’s create something beautiful together!
