CAREERS AT GROUNDED · PALM SPRINGS

Good work. Good people. Room to grow.

Grounded began with a massage therapist and a belief that good care should extend to the people providing it. Today, our Palm Springs studio brings massage, skincare, hair, and nails together under one roof.

We’re looking for people who care about their craft, enjoy working with others, and want room to grow—with the space, scheduling, and support of an established business behind them.

Current opportunities

We’re hiring massage therapists, a natural nail technician for Sundays and Tuesdays, hairstylists, and one Senior Stylist + Salon Lead. Explore the roles below to find the right fit for your experience and the work you want to grow into.

Senior Stylist + Salon Lead

Senior Stylist + Salon Lead — One Opening

Ready to shape more than your own appointment book? Help grow the next chapter of Grounded’s Davines salon—doing beautiful work, supporting other stylists, and helping set the standard without taking on an entire business alone.

About this role

This is a working-stylist leadership role for an experienced professional who wants to stay behind the chair while helping a salon get better. Strong consultation, cutting, color, and finishing skills matter, along with the ability to explain your decisions and support another stylist’s development.

Alongside your own guest appointments, you’ll help strengthen service consistency, education, rebooking, home-care recommendations, and the everyday organization of the salon. We’re looking for someone who can give useful feedback, care for shared products and equipment, and lead through the quality of their own work.

You’ll work with Jenn and our operations team, with an established workspace, supplied salon backbar, scheduling, reception, and marketing support. This is an opportunity to help build a department—not a request to operate a separate business inside ours.

Tell us about your technical strengths, your experience mentoring or supporting other stylists, and what you would want to help develop at Grounded. Include your California license details, recurring availability, and a portfolio or work samples.

Roots Salon

Hairstylists — Davines Salon

Build your craft and your clientele without having to build an entire business. Our Davines salon offers a place to develop your cutting, color, and styling work, with salon backbar, booking, and front-desk support already in place.

About this role

We’re looking for stylists who combine technical care with a good consultation: listening to what a guest wants, explaining what is realistic, and creating a result that works beyond the salon chair.

You’ll provide hair services, maintain clear guest notes, recommend appropriate home care, and help guests plan their next visit. We welcome different specialties and want to understand the hair types, textures, and services you work with confidently—as well as where you want to keep learning.

Grounded provides the salon setting and business support. You bring your professional judgment, follow-through, and willingness to help build lasting guest relationships.

Send a short work history, your California license details, recurring availability, and a portfolio or photographs of your work.

Massage + Bodywork

Massage Therapists

For therapists who listen closely, think carefully, and adapt every session to the person on the table. Join a practice built by a massage therapist, with respect for your skill and a team around you to support the work.

Qualification
Current CAMTC certification
Location
Palm Springs
About this role

You’ll provide personalized massage and bodywork, beginning with a thoughtful consultation and working within your training and professional scope. We value confident fundamentals, clear communication about pressure and comfort, accurate treatment notes, and respect for each guest’s boundaries.

We’re looking for dependable professionals who take care of their treatment space, communicate with their coworkers, and remain curious about their craft. Your particular strengths matter; you do not need to be every kind of therapist to do meaningful work here.

Tell us about your experience, the modalities you practice confidently, your current CAMTC certification, and the recurring days and times you’re available.

Natural Nail Technician

Natural Nail Technician — Sundays + Tuesdays

Beautiful nail work starts with careful preparation and attention to the person receiving it. We’re looking for a natural nail professional who enjoys thoughtful manicures, pedicures, and a more personal approach to guest care.

Qualification
Current California manicurist or cosmetology license
Location
Palm Springs
About this role

You’ll provide natural-nail services with close attention to shaping, cuticle care, polish application, sanitation, and guest comfort. We value clean, consistent work and appointments that feel attentive rather than rushed.

This opening is specifically for recurring Sunday and Tuesday availability. You’ll work within a multidisciplinary wellness studio, alongside people who take both their craft and the guest experience seriously.

Tell us about your manicure and pedicure experience, the nail systems you work with, and your availability on those two days. Photographs of your work are welcome.

Support behind the work.

Doing work you love should not mean carrying every part of a business yourself. At Grounded, we pair professional expectations with practical support.

Retirement benefits. A 401(k) retirement plan with a 1% employer match for eligible employees, subject to plan terms.

A team around you. Front-desk and scheduling support, shared systems, and people to turn to when something needs attention.

A supported salon. Our Davines salon provides the workspace, salon backbar, booking systems, and marketing support—so stylists can put more of their energy into their craft and guest relationships.

Care for our own team. Employee discounts on services and eligible retail products, subject to our employee-discount policy.

We value thoughtful scheduling, continued learning, clear boundaries, and a workplace where people can be themselves and take their profession seriously.
