Beauty Therapy Potential EmployersCategory: Business
Article posted by: Jon Richards
The list of potential employers for beauty therapists is longer than you might initially think, with many opportunities for a skilled therapist who is not afraid to work hard and is keen to take their speciality in a number of directions.
The most obvious employer is, perhaps, the beauty salon itself. A beauty salon will offer a number of different treatments to its customers, from various forms of massage through to facials and skin care treatments, manicures, pedicures and various kinds of hair removal (including waxing and threading). Many beauty salons or parlours also incorporate a hair dressing department, focusing on the cutting, styling and colouring of clients’ hair.
The term Spa as a potential employer, meanwhile, refers more to an institution that offers a slightly wider range of treatments, oriented around health, rather than beauty (although, of course, as one often leads to the other, many of the treatments offered by beauty salons and spas are very similar, if not identical). As well as providing facials, waxes and therapeutic massage, a Spa will usually have the facilities for a range of water based treatments, such as hot spring bathing, mud or peat pulp baths, saunas and steam baths. Although Day Spas exist, the term Spa itself more often calls to mind a self-contained destination geared around offering the services of a health-retreat. As such, Spas will also often include a personal trainer service for the duration of a visitor’s stay, as well as offering yoga or meditative classes.
However, there are many other potential employers that do not fall into these two obvious categories. For example, cruise liners often employ on-board beauty therapists to offer treatments to their passengers during the travel from one destination to another. Similar, cosmetics companies always need people trained in the cosmetic side of beauty therapy to act as product demonstrators, for example in department stores offering trial makeovers or eyebrow waxes. Alternatively, you might try setting yourself up as an independent beauty therapist, either working from home or visiting other people in their houses to offer specialist treatments.
