Esthetician resume template
Short answer
Daniel suits an esthetician or beauty therapist: rounded headings and skill pills give a soft, modern look that fits a spa, and skills print before experience so treatments and products are seen first. The fictional sample performs facials, peels and waxing at a day spa, rebooks most clients and sells home care. Show services per week, rebooking, retail sales and your licence.

Why Daniel suits an esthetician resume
Daniel prints summary and skills before experience, with rounded headings and skills as pills. Spas screen estheticians on treatments and licence first, and the pill layout shows a long treatment list neatly while the look suits the beauty industry.
Second choice: Olivia. Olivia has a bold blue header band, a fit for estheticians moving into lead or trainer roles.
What goes in each section, in Daniel's order

Frequently asked questions
What should an esthetician resume focus on?
Treatments, services per week, rebooking, retail sales and licence. Spa managers want estheticians who keep books full and clients coming back. Lead with your rebooking rate if it is strong.
Does this template work for beauty therapists?
Yes. Beauty therapists in the UK and elsewhere can list the same treatments and add nails, massage or body treatments, plus their national qualification level.
How do I show results without client details?
Use rebooking rates, retail sales, reviews and services per week. Never share client names or skin conditions.
Should I include my Instagram?
If it shows professional work and is kept up to date, yes. Use client photos only with written consent.
How do I move into medical spa work?
Show advanced treatments, product knowledge and any training for laser or medical-grade treatments allowed in your state. Some treatments need extra licences, so check the rules.
How long should the resume be?
One page. Keep your licence and rebooking rate near the top.
Will applicant tracking systems read this Daniel PDF?
The sample PDF read back with its contact details, all 5 section headings and all 9 bullets intact in three open-source text extractors (pdf.js, pdftotext and pypdf). Commercial systems such as Workday, Greenhouse or Taleo were not tested, and each employer configures its own.
