The unrivalled growth in the UK makes this a particularly desirable area to invest in. Whether you are looking to expand your knowledge, set up a new business or make a future career choice – the beauty industry offers those with a passion for wellness of mind and body, and the drive to share their skills, the opportunity to create your own niche. Whether you choose to specialise or take on a more generic role, deciding on your real passion is the key to success and the key to happy customers.
A variety of places to work for a rewarding beauty career
The sheer breadth of choice of specialist area for the beauty therapist is a key attraction when looking to get into a salon or spa. With an increasing level of customer interest and knowledge, beauty therapy has developed into a clear career choice for those wanting a skilled and diverse challenge. Beauty salons have become de rigeur within the hotel industry as a means of providing customers with relaxation, massage therapy, pampering and wellbeing to complement their holiday or short break. Similarly there has been a move to more advanced treatments and increasing demand on the high street and at specialist centres which has yielded a need for highly professional and passionate therapists and specialists.
The level of expertise needed for therapists is as diverse as the treatments often offered, and will of course depend on the establishment. Training and apprenticeships are often part of a trainee job. Alternatively gaining qualifications prior to gaining a position has become a much more robust method for securing a suitable position. The sheer variety of diplomas now available indicate the shifting level of interest within the field.
Comprehensive Beauty Training
Whilst the opportunity to gain training and qualifications in beauty techniques and beauty therapies, or advanced hair and beauty therapies will increase an employer’s confidence in your skills, the gold standard still remains the CIDESCO Diploma. Quite simply this is the best and most comprehensive training course available. Recognised as a global leading professional body, CIDESCO provide a level of education and training within aesthetics and beauty therapy that is unrivalled. For a professional looking to make a real mark in the field, this certification can lead to opportunities at some of the most prestigious salon brands.
The growth of hotel, gym and chain branded salon therapy has ensured a relatively secure outlook for beauty therapy as the industry continues in rude health. Part of this can be attributed to significant advances in techniques and technology. Whilst the primary component of spa treatments remains beauty products, manicures, hair treatment, facial treatments, cleansing and depilation, increasingly the customer is looking to find new methods of wellbeing. Body analysis and electrical treatments to identify areas of improvement for individuals, are all available now, whilst treatments such as micro-dermabrasion and facial peels, cellulite treatments, collagen induction and ultrasound, are an increasing part of the beauty therapists skillset. As such a career in beauty therapy is at an exciting time. With new technologies likely to increase, it is an opportunity to become involved in a fantastically varied career and create your own opportunities.
