Beauty jobs

For anyone interested in beauty careers, there are lots of opportunities to be found in gyms, spas and beauty salons across the UK.

Beauty careers cover a wide range of different jobs - everything from massage to nails, hair stylist to beautician, each of which requires completely different qualifications and skills.

Almost all beauty careers require some training. There are hundreds of colleges throughout the UK offering training, most of which lead to formal qualifications like NVQs - it is vital that any training you undertake leads to a nationally recognized qualification, so that your skills are recognized by employers.

If you are just starting out, it is good practice to try and find at least a part time job working in the business - for example, working part time in a salon, even if it's just on a Saturday, will give you an idea of what the business is all about and whether you like it, and look good on your resumé.
