A career in beauty therapy, particularly nail treatments, is enjoyable and can be a very profitable occupation. The beauty industry is flourishing, not only in the UK, but on a global scale, creating a wealth and diversity of career opportunities.
Whether you are an advanced therapist wishing to gather new skills, seeking to refresh your existing knowledge, or completely new to the trade, the courses at the Nails and Beauty Academy are specifically tailored to suit your needs, to enable you to take advantage of the many viable business options available to you.
Beauty Therapy Treatments
The Beauty business is enjoying extraordinary expansion, and the courses provided at the Nails and Beauty Academy aim to meet the urgent need for good-quality nail technicians and beauty therapists. Demand for technicians and therapists is outstripping supply, and our students enjoy a variety of employment opportunities, whether located in salons, health clubs and hotels, spas and gyms, cruise ships, airlines and airports, nail bars or working directly from home.
The Nails and Beauty Academy courses equip our students to offer an holistic approach to beauty therapy treatments across the globe, providing professional treatments that ensure that their clients not only look good, but feel good too.
Beauty Retail
With beauty products occupying third place, of all volume sales in the retail industry, it is essential for retail outlets to have expert staff to ensure continued growth. Typically, beauty products dominate the entrance of important stores and, with new treatments and perfumes introduced on a daily basis, inspiring clients and capturing their imagination to try out these products is big business; and good beauty retail consultants have a central role to play. On our Business Course you will learn what it takes to manage a successful beauty retailer outlet.
As with any business, competition to attract and retain clients can be fierce and it is, therefore, important to make your salon stand out from the rest. Prices vary considerably throughout the country although, as a guide, below is an example of typical prices that can be demanded in the south of England.

The key to success in this industry is not necessarily just to be able to demonstrate that you have more academic or vocational qualifications than your competitors. It is crucial to have ambition, to be able to offer a professional service, and yet it is equally important to be able to demonstrate an empathy with or sensitivity to your clients requirements. Your clients need to feel secure in the knowledge that you are the expert, but they also need to know that you care. It is important to remember that your clients not only want to look good, but to feel good too.
The Nails and Beauty Academy one-day Business Course is invaluable for those serious about succeeding.
