Course description
Beauty therapists who can also offer nail treatments will benefit from having a broader portfolio of skills when seeking employment, and a competitive edge if starting a beauty therapy business. In the beauty therapy side of the bundle, you will dive into the anatomy and physiology of the face and body, whilst developing your practical skills in providing advanced facial and body treatments. You will also build a sound knowledge of health and safety practices in a salon environment, as well as examining client care and communication in beauty-related industries. Meanwhile, on the nail technician course, you will master your practical skills when it comes to the likes of nail artistry, grooming and healthcare. You'll also be able to design, apply, maintain, and remove acrylic, silk, and fibreglass nails.
