Beauty Therapy (Beverley)
Our programmes are all delivered in our commercial salons, giving you plenty of experience working on real life clients. But it isn’t all about treatments, hair and make-up! You’ll learn about salon etiquette, running a professional business, providing good customer service, and heath and safety.
Our programmes are very practical and you’ll get lots of opportunities to develop your professional hairdressing, barbering or beauty therapy skills, learning from experienced practitioners, as well as getting a good grounding in anatomy and physiology.
