Permanent Makeup Artist (PMU)

You don’t just tattoo faces. You restore confidence. You create softness. You honor individuality. At Wild & Free, we believe beauty should feel like you just more supported, more aligned, more at home in your skin. We are looking for a Permanent Makeup Artist who sees their work as both art + responsibility. This is not a high-volume, rushed environment. This is a space for artists who care deeply about detail, healing, and long-term client relationships. WHO THIS IS FOR You might be a fit if you: • Care more about natural, healed results than bold, overdone work • Believe consultation is just as important as the service • Are confident in mapping, symmetry, and customization • Value client trust, safety, and education over quick money • Want to grow within a holistic, barrier-first, education-driven spa WHAT YOU’LL DO • Perform permanent makeup services (brows, lips, liner based on your specialty) • Conduct thorough, thoughtful consultations • Customize each service based on face shape, skin condition, and lifestyle • Educate clients on healing, expectations, and long-term maintenance • Maintain strict sanitation + infection control standards • Document services and track client progress • Contribute to a calm, elevated client experience WHAT WE VALUE At Wild & Free, we do things differently. We are not: • A “get them in and out” spa • A place for rushed work or inconsistent standards We are: • Detail-oriented • Education-first • Deeply client-centered • Rooted in long-term skin health + integrity If you’re looking for a place to just “fill your books quickly,” this may not be the right fit and that’s okay. REQUIREMENTS • Active Virginia tattoo/PMU licensing (as required) • Certification in permanent makeup services • Strong portfolio of healed results (required to apply) • Knowledge of skin types, contraindications, and healing phases • Confidence in consultation and client communication • Professional, grounded, and growth-minded BONUS IF YOU… • Have a soft, natural aesthetic style • Are open to continued education + evolving your technique • Have experience with sensitive or compromised skin clients • Love creating an experience not just performing a service COMPENSATION • Commission-based (percentage based on experience) • Retail commission opportunities • Growth potential within Wild & Free team HOW TO APPLY Please do not send a simple resume. We ask that you submit: • A short written response: • “What does natural, healed permanent makeup mean to you?” • A link to your portfolio (Instagram or website) • A 2–3 minute video: • Walk us through how you would consult a first-time brow client Send all application materials to: [email protected] We don’t hire often. When we do, we are looking for artists who want to build something long-term, refine their craft, and be part of a space that values both artistry and intention. If that feels like you—we would love to meet you. Pay: $15.00 - $60.00 per hour Benefits: • Employee discount • Flexible schedule Work Location: In person
