How Do I Start A Career In Beauty?

22nd November 2021

Choosing a career based on your love for beauty can be a little overwhelming because you are presented with a lot of options. If you love people and boast excellent communication skills, and know how to make them feel and look good at the same time, then you are not wrong about choosing a career in the beauty industry. The beauty industry in the UK is thriving. It is not only lucrative in terms of monetary benefits but also a highly scalable career choice.

Nevertheless, the beauty course you choose must be accredited by a reputable body like VTCT, ITEC, or City & Guilds. This is important because choosing an award-winning and trusted organisation will enable you to learn and carry out treatments professionally.

On the other hand, there are fast-track NVQ courses in beauty therapy that are usually administered in private institutions and training centres. These are basically diploma courses that enable you to schedule and study at your convenience.

We advise you to go with NVQ Beauty Therapy because it is not only highly sought after qualification in the Beauty Industry, but also ideal for those who are new and just starting out. Level 2 Beauty is the starting point and it is designed for students who don’t have a year to spare on the traditional beauty programmes. The course will conclude in as little as 17 weeks to a year long course, depending on the training providers you choose.

Everybody has to start somewhere! And the saying, “Practise makes perfect”, has never rang truer.

You really shouldn’t worry about how easy hairdressing is. Truth is, as with anything in life, there are both the easier and more difficult areas to learn. Each person will differ as well. Perming and relaxing hair might be easy for one person, but tricky for someone else.

Your personality and natural talents will make you enjoy certain parts of hairdressing more than others. This is great because further down the line, you might decide to specialise in the areas you enjoy most and within a salon environment you will work as a team to ensure the best service to clients.

How Much Money Do I Need to Open a Nail Salon?

15th October 2021

Running a nail salon and having a successful business can be a challenge at first. There are some key points that you should master if you wish to have a good and profitable run.

So, here’s how much money you’ll need if you wish to open a nail salon.

Location & facility

Find a good location that others will find appealing and that will gain exposure. Costs can vary and this will depend from city to city, as well as from street to street. Roughly, a retail site of 1,000 square feet (which is a typical size for a smaller salon) can cost around £50,000 – £100,000. This includes all the heavy-duty work & renovation.

Manicure station

Think about your equipment and list out all the things that you’ll need. A station will include a manicure table that holds all nail polishes, as well as brushes. You might need several of these depending on the number of your employees, and especially if your salon is pretty busy. You can expect to spend around £300 – 500 for these stations.

Pedicure chairs

Pedicures are highly asked-for at nail salons. A built-in foot bath will add a professional touch, and everyone will enjoy foot massages – therefore, invest in this chair! You could use two of these and they are around £400.

Nail polishes & racks

A nail polish rack along with 30+ different polishes is essential at your nail salon. Make sure that you can provide your clients with a huge variety of nail polishes & gel polishes. This investment will cost you around £700.

Nail lamps

Last, but not least, do not forget about nail lamps. Go for UV & LED lamps that can be used with any polish. These are not too expensive (only around £30) so make sure you get 3-4 of them all at once.

Is Beauty Therapy Hard?

7th August 2021

Beauty therapy is a successful industry with more students in the UK choosing to study beauty therapy qualifications for an amazing career. From offering facial treatments to performing nail art, massage, educating clients about skincare, and more, beauty therapy helps people in many different ways and allows them to look their best. However, for a beautician or a beauty therapist, the career can be quite challenging, both physically and mentally. In short, it is a highly demanding career and recommended for those who have a thing for beauty with people skills.

If you are looking for a career in beauty therapy, we would like to give you a heads up on some of the challenges faced by a beauty therapist.

#1 Timekeeping

Treatments in beauty clinics and salons are governed by appointments. Clients will come to your salon as per the designated time, but what if you aren’t free from the previous appointment. Timekeeping is something that beauty therapists have always struggled with. If you miss the appointment or reschedule the appointment, it gives the impression that you are not professional.

#2 Tired Feet

You will barely find time to sit, especially during the peak season like the holidays. Nevertheless, clients will be coming and going continuously. So, you will be standing and working on the clients, say 9-12 hours every day. This can be ridiculously tiring for your feet.

#3 Maintaining a Good Working Relationship

You will not be alone in a salon working, but there will be a whole team working with you. Sometimes, it can be difficult to maintain a good working relationship with your co-worker for some reason.

#4 Always Smiling

A beauty therapist can have a bad day any day. What if the client doesn’t like the new style, what if you are feeling tired from all day’s work and there are still more clients to attend? Keeping a smiley face all the time can be a challenge.

While these are the significant challenges of being a beauty therapist, it doesn’t mean that they cannot be overcome. Your attitude decides how you end up in your career.

Is Beauty a Good Career?

26th July 2021

The Beauty Industry in the UK is worth billions of pounds. If you are someone who takes a keen interest in making people look and feel their best, then you should not hesitate before choosing beauty as your career path. The beauty industry is many things and is not just restricted to makeup and stuff. As a beautician, your job will be to improve your client’s appearance through skincare, hair care, nail, massage, and other beauty techniques. It doesn’t mean you have to master all the techniques. There are dedicated services like hair colour, nail art, hair stylist, etc. that you can pursue.

Here are the top reasons why beauty is a good career choice.

  1. First things first, you get variety. Boring is not part of being a beauty therapist. You won’t be doing the same things over and over again. At one point you will be creating bespoke nail art for your client’s prom night, and the next moment you will be helping a bride design her makeup for the big day. The higher the skills you have, the more variety you can explore.
  2. You may not know but beauticians play a significant role in encouraging people to feel comfortable in their own skin. Your little words and some beauty tips can have a huge impact on their confidence.
  3. The best part about being a beauty therapist is that you can choose to work at a salon, spa, or health club, or start your own business. In both cases, you get to grow.

The beauty industry in the UK will continue to grow no matter the obstacles. You have the ‘job security’ if that’s what bugging you from making a decision.

Is It Legal To Do Nails at Home?

19th July 2021

If you are just starting as a nail tech you should consider working from your home. It is profitable, way easier to do, as well as recommended if you wish to get your steady customers.

Did you know that approximately 54.9 percent of nail technicians have been working in the nail industry for longer than 9 years? This means that almost all of their customers are already their regulars who admire their work, and who are not planning on seeking for someone else.

This means that you may struggle at first to get your steady customers. This is why it is also not recommended to start a business on your own and all of a sudden if you haven’t had any experience beforehand, and if others do not know of you and your service.

If you are thinking about providing your services from home, make sure that you invest a significant amount of time and money into ads and when doing your promotions. Let the word out on the street!

Home-based salons and at-home treatments are allowed in most countries, as well as cities. However, you should look into this with your city hall and read into any new regulations since things have been changing in the last couple of months due to the impact of COVID 19.
