Rootine Studio Client Experience Coordinator – Scalp Care Studio (Training provided; NY cosmetology; Tricologist) New York, NY · Full time

Apply for Client Experience Coordinator – Scalp Care Studio (Training provided; NY cosmetology; Tricologist)

Rootine is getting ready to launch as a dedicated scalp care studio in NYC. We specialize in non-medical, science-backed treatments that exfoliate, balance, and nourish the scalp—promoting optimal conditions for hair growth and overall scalp health. We’re carving out a new category between skincare and haircare—think of us as the "skincare for your scalp." As an early-stage company, we’re building something fresh and meaningful from the ground up. It’s an exciting time to join: you’ll play a foundational role in shaping the client experience, treatment protocols, and company culture. If you're passionate about health, beauty, and redefining wellness from the root, Rootine is the place to grow.

Be part of the team from day! If you've seen the viral scalp care videos on social media (mostly in Korea!) that's what we're bringing here. Join me as we launch the company from day 1 with room for advancement as we go! We are seeking a Scalp Care Specialist to join our dynamic team. This role involves consulting with clients regarding their hair and scalp health, performing scalp treatments, and providing exceptional client experiences. Because hands-on scalp manipulations, shampooing, and rinsing are part of the role, an active New York Cosmetology License is required. If you also have trichology certification or experience, that’s a plus!

Note: This position focuses on non-medical scalp health and hair services. We do not diagnose or treat medical conditions. Clients requiring medical intervention are referred to licensed healthcare professionals.
