Plenty of job opportunities
The beauty industry is ever growing. So long as there are formals, weddings and the need for selfies, there will always be a client who will pay to have perfect nails and a flawless complexion. For beauty therapists, the career options are endless.

Score a job as a:

Nail technician: Turn finger and toenails into works of art. As a nail technician, you’ll help clients keep their finger and toenails healthy while advising them on the hottest shade of nail polish. You can also create fun designs on their nails to make them stand out.

Waxing technician: Whether it’s the legs, upper lip or bikini line, waxing can be a painful process, but the results are really what counts. When you’re working as a waxing technician, you’ll help ease your clients’ fears and deliver the results that make the process so worth it.

Makeup artist: Your client’s face will be your canvas as you make them stand out in all the right ways. Prepare brides to walk down the aisle or assist in a photoshoot and bring out the model’s most prominent features.

Consultant: Want to share your vast amount of beauty knowledge with the world? Consultants help their clients chose the right beauty products to accentuate their features and battle oily and dry skin.

These are just a few job options that await those who complete a Certificate III in Beauty Services, but there are plenty more. With the right education, your career in beauty therapy can take you in a number of different directions.
