Waxing treatments are in-demand all year round to achieve smooth, hair-free skin without the hassle of other hair-removal measures. Shaving or plucking typically prove to be time-consuming and frequently ineffective for our busy lifestyles, so many of us are now opting for waxing as a long-lasting solution, on a regular basis, as a convenient method of hair-removal. It is a treatment preferred to be carried out by a therapist, opposed to using DIY kits at home, to ensure (less painful) results, therefore a lucrative service to offer as a beautician. From basic leg and underarm waxes that remain consistently popular, to intimate Brazilian or Hollywood waxing particularly in-demand during the summer season, we offer a range of courses teaching varied waxing procedures. After only one day of training, you can be equipped and competent in offering waxing treatments to your clients, who will return regularly for maintenance, considering that waxing is most effective when carried-out on a regular basis. The Beauty Academy offers a wide range of Waxing Courses, taught in our nine beauty centres based around the UK by qualified professionals, including basic waxing for beginners to advanced intimate waxing services.

If you are looking to embark upon a career specifically as a beauty therapist, we recommend our Quick Start Beautician Package; a value-package comprised of the most popular beauty treatments requested in the industry, including Waxing. Please also see our full list of courses covering the broad range of courses that we offer.

Career Choice

If you would like to work as a Beauty Therapist and you are considering taking a training course then the the first decision you have to make is whether you want to…

Work as Self Employed

If you wish to work as a mobile therapist or offer occasional treatments from home, you will be sufficiently qualified with The Beauty Academy Diploma.

All students (except those on funded routes) receive the Diploma which allows you to gain public liability (beauty) insurance to work with paying clients from home or mobile. It allows you to begin earning straight away, even while working towards a qualification.

If you are already a qualified therapist, you may wish to study The Beauty Academy Diploma courses to refresh your knowledge or acquire new skills.

OR

Work as Employed

If you wish to gain employment in the industry or just want to keep your career options open, we recommend you to consider the Level 2 and Level 3 qualification courses.

Most employers in salons, spas, nail bars and on cruise ships will require therapists to hold a Level 2 and/or Level 3 Qualification. Qualifications demonstrate to employers that the therapist is proficient in their treatments and is committed to high standards in the industry.

If you wish to open your own salon premises or have a permanent treatment room from home, you will also usually require a Qualification to comply with local authority licensing. Students are recommended to contact their local authority before enrolling to establish the exact requirements.

    I made a last minute decision to attend the ‘dry manicure and gel polish’ course and so glad I did! The tutor (Donnamarie) was so passionate and inspiring that she gave me the confidence I needed. Everything was well explained and the group was small enough get the best out of the day.
