Why is this skill important?
Diversity defines the work of the beauty therapist. You can expect to work in small and large salons from the high street to hotels and hospitals and with clients that might range from the fashion industry to people recovering from serious illness.
At the heart of the job is the relationship with each client, offering advice and support and a service to the highest professional standards. Beauty therapy is often therapeutic and can restore self-esteem, especially after illness.
It is important to keep in touch with the latest trends and developments in the industry. Beauty therapists are in growing demand around the world, especially for those with the understanding and desire to experience different countries and cultures.
