Waxing

Waxing is an excellent addition to any treatment menu and provides repeat business as it is an essential maintenance option for many clients. The GTi Waxing Course meets the National Occupational Standards and covers the various types of hair removal, anatomy and physiology, skin disorders and diseases, contra-actions and contra-indications, reception, consultation, ventilation, technique, and aftercare.

These courses are ideal if you want to add a new skill to your career, are wanting to refresh your knowledge after time away from your practice, or to get a taster of what the beauty industry is like prior to completing a VTCT international qualification.

These level 2 beauty day courses in Nottingham are designed to provide students with the necessary skills and knowledge to perform these treatments professionally and safely. They are also an excellent way to add new treatments to your salon or spa menu and increase your earning potential.

As we are accredited with the Beauty Guild, this will mean you can be insured to carry out treatments after you have completed your qualification.  The Beauty Guild is not an international or regulated training body.
