Eyelash tinting and shaping, Manicure, Pedicure and Reflexology. I setup my own business as a mobile therapist and this was extremely successful for me. I relocated to Suffolk and continued my success for a couple of years. I decided to take some time out to dedicate to my family and gradually scaled down my clients over a period of 6 months.The first step in becoming a professional beauty therapist is to discover what study options and courses are available to you. For me this began with undertaking a general course in beauty therapy that covered not only a range of different beauty treatments but also the fundamentals of good skin care and hygiene.After completing a general course in Beauty Therapy you are now qualified to carry out a range of non-technical beauty treatments such as facials, hand and feet massages. In order to expand your knowledge within this industry and provide more technical treatments you will have to undertake a number of courses in specialised subjects. Specialised courses available can be in different false nail applications such as Acrylics, Calgel and Gelish, eyebrow and eyelash treatments, waxing and spray tans.With the majority of studying behind you, although it is good practice to regularly partake in training courses to keep up your professional development. it is now time to decide if you would prefer to work within a salon or for yourself as a self-employed beauty therapist. If you decide as I did, that becoming self-employed and working for yourself is more your thing then some of the advantages would be that you are free to see as little or as many clients as you would like in a day. Therefore by working hard and scheduling appointments one after another you can earn far more than you would working in a salon. Show less
