The vibe (mustaches optional)
It feels like home.
Most lash studios are transactional. We’ve worked hard to be the opposite. Our team has stayed because we built a culture where they’re held by us, by each other, and by the standard. They train each other. They cover each other’s shifts. They genuinely like each other.
If you’re a licensed beauty professional looking for a studio that takes itself seriously about the work and not so seriously about anything else — you might be in the right place.
Grow with us, not through us.
Pick the right one for you.
Path 1 · Both locations
Join the SDL team as an artist.
For licensed estheticians and cosmetologists who want to be part of SDL’s roster — full or part-time, on payroll, with our in-house mentoring and training program built in.
Best for: early-career artists who want serious training, established artists who want to be part of a team rather than going solo, anyone who wants the family-culture working environment without the overhead of running their own business.
What we offer: in-house training program, established client base, supportive team culture, both our Bay Park flagship and La Jolla studio, competitive compensation structure.
What we look for: active CA license (esthetician or cosmetologist), reliability, a real interest in the craft, and someone who’s a fit for the team culture.
Path 2 · Booth or suite rental
Rent your own space at SDL.
For established beauty professionals with their own clientele who want a dedicated workspace in a curated, brand-forward studio — without the overhead of a commercial lease.
Best for: licensed practitioners who already have a book of business — med spa providers, brow artists, aestheticians, hairstylists, sugaring + body hair removal pros, and adjacent specialties. People who want to run their own business under a roof that takes the operational details off their plate.
What you get: your choice of space — private suite at La Jolla or booth / semi-private room at Bay Park. Brand alignment with SDL, shared front-of-house energy, and the curated-collective positioning that brings clients into the building who you wouldn’t otherwise reach. Your business, your pricing, your hours, your bookings.
What we look for: active license in your specialty, established clientele, clean-product / professional standards aligned with SDL.
