BEAUTY THERAPY

From opening your own salon, to working in film and TV, or gaining employment aboard some of the world’s most luxurious cruise ships, the wealth of opportunities in the beauty therapy sector are vast and hugely varied.

With the number of hair & beauty businesses in the UK continuing to steadily grow, as does the demand for skilled professionals in various roles such as barbers, hairdressers, beauticians, make-up artists and salon managers. During 2022, the UK hair & beauty industry generated ÂŁ4.4 billion, with growth set to continue for the next five years.

Housed in the purpose-built Elements salon, the Beauty Therapy department at Preston College offers learners with access to live clients, real salon environments and industry experienced tutors, who have spent years perfecting their trades.

For those looking to start out, we offer both Introductory Diplomas and Level 2 Certificates, with progression right up to specialist courses, including our NEW Level 3 pathways in Nail Technology and Advanced Beauty Therapy enrolling now for September 2024.

Plus, you’ll also gain access to a range of additional short courses, specifically tailored for people working within the industry, such as customer service and wellbeing at work.
