Beauty therapy at the Carlton Institute

Starting a Beauty Therapy business can be an extremely challenging and daunting experience. In recent years the demand for beauty therapists has become huge, and as such a popular choice for both school leavers and those who are having a change in career direction.

The modern world can be highly stressful, as found by a study commissioned by the International Spa Association which found the number one reason clients give for visiting a spa is relaxation and stress relief. This may seem obvious, however it can be surprisingly easy for therapists to lose sight of the fact that spa and beauty salons are about much more than massages, waxing and good grooming. For many the experience equates to something of a modern sanctuary.

So whether one starts up within an established salon or decides to embark on their own business (another growing popular route) and set up their own beauty therapy room, it's important to go out of the way to make the environment a place where people can unwind. Making clients feel welcome is a key factor in every therapist’s customer service.

To qualify as a professional beauty therapist, attending a specialist training centre like the Carlton Institute will grant students a range of course options to choose from and they can design their route depending on the direction they wish their career to take.

An Elite Beauty Therapy course in NVQ Level 2, for example, is a programme that runs for twelve weeks. With an accredited and internationally recognised qualification upon completion, this course has a 90% employment rate. During the course one will also gain work experience in leading spas and salons.

The beauty of this course and others offered by the Carlton Institute, is that while the training given to students are very elite, they don’t demand two years to complete as oppose to study via college. With a combination of work experience and intensive course training, in just months, one can be well on their way to a rewarding career.

The Carlton Institute has a range of beauty courses as well as more specialist training programs such as nail courses and massage courses. Contact us today for more information.
