Working at Queen B
Why choose Queen B?
Queen B Luxury Nail and Beauty Lounge is a multi award-winning salon based in South Croydon. Since opening in 2016, we have built a strong reputation for exceptional guest care, attention to detail, hygiene and natural nail treatments delivered properly.
We are not a high-volume nail bar. Treatments are not deliberately shortened or rushed to fit more appointments into the day. Our focus is on preparation, structure, safe removal, natural nail integrity and consistently beautiful results.
Queen B was named a Scratch Stars Awards 2026 finalist for Nail and Beauty Salon of the Year. You will be joining a small, experienced team with established guests, clear expectations and ongoing support.
About the role
This is a hands‑on Nail Technician role working with a loyal and established guest base across BIAB, gel polish, manicures, pedicures and natural nail care.
You will be expected to deliver treatments confidently and professionally, create beautiful and durable results and maintain the high standards Queen B is known for.
Full support is provided on Queen B systems, products, treatment protocols and guest experience standards, but this is an experienced Nail Technician role rather than a trainee position.
What you’ll do
- Deliver BIAB overlays and infills to a consistently high professional standard
- Deliver professional manicures, pedicures and gel polish treatments
- Prepare, shape and finish nails precisely while protecting the natural nail
- Carry out safe manual preparation and removal without relying on an e‑file
- Carry out consultations and identify contraindications or unsuitable treatments where necessary
- Provide appropriate aftercare and natural nail advice
- Maintain excellent hygiene, workstation and professional presentation standards
- Manage your appointment column professionally and on time
- Build strong guest relationships and support rebooking
- Work positively as part of a small, experienced salon team
What we’re looking for
- Completed Level 2 or Level 3 qualification in Nail Services, Nail Technology or a recognised equivalent appropriate to the treatments you perform
- At least 2 years’ recent, hands‑on experience as a qualified Nail Technician in a professional salon or spa
- Confidence delivering BIAB overlays and infills, gel polish, manicures and pedicures independently
- Excellent natural nail knowledge and a strong focus on maintaining natural nail integrity
- Precise nail painting, shaping and cuticle work
- Confidence carrying out preparation and removal without relying on an e‑file
- Excellent hygiene, guest care and communication skills
- Good treatment timing and appointment management
- Right to work in the UK
- Availability to work Saturdays and alternate Sundays
Additional experience we’d particularly value
- Footlogix
- IBX or professional nail repair systems
- Waxing
- Lash lifts
- Additional face or body treatment experience
- Strong retail and rebooking performance

Manicure
★★★★★
I had my gel manicure today with Charlotte. I don’t have my nails done often and my fingers are very sensitive and get sore but Charlotte was very gentle and kind.
The manicure was pain free and Charlotte gave me lots of advice and helped me choose a colour. I am over the moon with my nails and ready for my holiday!
Thank you!
BIAB & Gel
★★★★★
As always, I had an amazing treatment. I’ve been visiting Queen B Luxury Nail & Beauty Lounge for 5+ years and it’s highly unlikely that will change any time soon.
Charlotte’s work lasts flawlessly every time. On top of that, she’s very friendly, incredibly experienced and makes every appointment a treat.
Highly recommend if you want beautiful nails and a great experience
Pedicure
★★★★★
Thank you for the great service, the best pedicure I’ve had in a long time. Sylvia worked miracles on my feet! I will definitely be returning.
Full‑time and part‑time Nail Technician roles are available.
