Overview

Who doesn’t want silky smooth, hair-free skin, that stands the test of regular shaving? The perfect way to feel confident enough to hit the beach, it’s no surprise that waxing is one of the most popular beauty treatments in the UK! If you want to get in on the action, this course will provide you with all the skills and knowledge to offer professional waxing treatments. It’s an ideal choice for anyone looking to set up their own business, or simply add another string to their bow as a beauty professional.

You’ll discover how to safely and hygienically wax legs, underarms, eyebrows, upper lips, chins, and the bikini area, and learn with step-by-step guides and video tutorials. You’ll enjoy the freedom to study completely online, in your own time, at a pace that suits you!

What will I learn?

  • How to run your own business, interact with clients, and promote your services
  • Health and safety legislation, and the types of insurance you’ll need
  • The anatomy and physiology of the nails, bones and muscular system
  • Skin types and structures
  • Skin diseases, disorders, and types
  • How to wax professionally

First thing’s first! In the opening unit, you’ll cover health and safety legislation, how to safely prepare your work area, and how to work hygienically. You’ll also cover just about everything you need to know to successfully open and run your own beauty business, such as how to communicate effectively with your clients, and how to market yourself.

Unit 2 - Anatomy and physiology

Now you’ll get stuck into the science! Over nine videos and a detailed physiology eBook, you’ll study the structure of hair, cells, and tissues, the skeletal and muscular systems, the anatomy of the eye, and much more.

What qualifications do you need to be a beauty therapist?

All beauty therapists must hold a level two qualification as a minimum; however, a level three qualification is the best option if you want to jump head-first into the industry.

A level three beauty therapy course will give you a well-rounded education on all things beauty related.

Once you’ve secured this and spent some time in the industry, you’ll likely want to specialise in a specific area that may require additional study. As there are so many pathways you can take, you can build a unique career by investing in specific courses.
