Career opportunities in beauty therapy

Beauty therapists look after clients from head to toe. Their day may involve providing treatments for acne or dry skin, getting rid of unwanted hair with electrolysis, or pampering clients with full facials, massages or spa therapy. Beauty therapists will also help clients look and feel their best with cosmetic make-overs, eyebrow tints and manicures.

A Nail technician is a specialist. Nails are what they do. Nail technicians will consult with clients to ensure they understand their needs and are able to advise or treat their nails accordingly.
