Thank you so much for your advice!!! I'm doing my level 2 beauty therapy in Scotland. I started in August. What you said, a lot of it my lecturers have said. I was a midwife for 10 years prior to commencing thus course. Currently doing facial and waxing just now. One thing i would say is people don't realise the amount of work involved in this course- the level of academic work involved is high. It was on par with the amount of anatomy and physiology I did at uni in 2004-2007. So if anyone thinks it's a nice little relaxing makeup and powder course - think again. It is hard but very rewarding and enjoyable. Thank you so much for approaching the subject regarding massaging men lol.
I love how you explained this I definitely have made my decision on my career path and I definitely want to be a beauty therapist thanks for the tips ❤️❤️❤️
I love your channel and all your videos. It is so wonderful to see a fellow Beauty Therapist sharing their passion and empowering other therapists. I look forward to watching more of your videos! xx Love Kat (from Australia)
omg i was literally looking at lcbt before this video and thought " i would love to go there " but didnt know how it worked with the courses and all that and with the prices but this explained alot so thank you so so much
Old vid but defs have felt uncomfortable going into a appointment, exposing my junk for laser treatment. But no bad intentions and went smoothly. Can honestly vouch for having a instinct for bad intentions though.
May I ask you to make a video on facials? I'm from Italy and I don't know if we do the same way. I know it may sounds silly ahhahah but my mom is a beauty therapist and I know her method, but I don't really know if it is the one everyone does or not. Also, what product do you recommend for facials? :) I find your videos really helpful!! THANK YOUUUU
Hi darling, so sorry but I can't make that video because I can't remember what comes in the kit. The things I do remember getting are nail tools (clippers, cuticle nippers, cuticle pusher, scissors), tweezers (normal and automatic tweezers), tinting kit, yellow facial sponges, mani/pedi sponges, cuticle remover, cuticle oil, nail polish (top/base coat, red, white, nude, glitter), face mask brush, paraffin brush, white headband, palette (for makeup), makeup brush set, mirror, eyelashes x2, single eyelashes x2, plastic spatula, I think we got a box of wooden spatulas disposable gloves and foot file but not sure, textbook and a ugly lcbt bag. I'm sure there were a lot more included but I just can't remember them! I did my course 3 years ago so the kit may have changed but I still hope this was helpful! x
Nope we just got a beauty kit. We did not get makeup but they did have a box of makeup provided for us to use or we brought in our own makeup from home. Nearly all the girls preferred bringing in their own makeup x
now I studies on beauty therapy level 3 .. im still new first of all I thought I will study about make up but when I start study now know ... what should I do when im in industry
Can you recomend some good beauty schools in and around london? Also I have looking into different cources and quite confused which qulification to choose: ITEC/VTCT, CIBTAC or CIDESCO? Does getting ITEC/VTCT level 2 and 3 will help getting job in UK?
I'm not sure which beauty colleges are good as I only went to one place for both my level 2 and 3. I feel like they are all pretty much the same and it honestly depends on which teacher you end up with. When I go for job interviews, they ask for Level 3 beauty therapy qualification - it doesn't matter if it's ITEC or whatever. You can find a job with Level 2 but I do recommend doing Level 3 too :)
It really depends on which route you want to take. You do not have to do Level 3 but it will open a lot more doors if you do. Sometimes Level 2 is enough and you can go on short courses to expand your skills. If you want to get into the aesthetics side, some salons even ask for a Level 4 qualification! Salary varies a lot depending on your experience, working hours, commission & location. I would recommend checking job websites to have a better idea! I wish you the best of luck!
Most of the time you have to complete level 2 beauty therapy to progress to level 3 because the treatments in level 3 are more complicated and complex than the treatments in level 2
Ekso Stan Legends stan EXO Normally no they are not the same. Mini facial can be 15 or 30 minutes. Signature facial can be 30 or 60 minutes. But this depends on the salon and skincare brand!
Hey lovely thanks so much for this. I am currently doing level two and want to start practicing facials! Would you mind sharing essential facial kit and what products u recommend for a starter? Thank you i want to start practicing on friends! Also a londoner and appreciate you! Xxx
That's great I hope you enjoy it! I recommend that you read over topics before your lecture and prepare any questions you have. Be organised and don't leave coursework until the last minute. My last and most important tip is to practice treatments at home if you can!
Hi thank you for all your videos they are fantastic 💓 Would you say that there’s a maximum age limit to begin a career in the beauty industry and start a beauty therapy course? Also, Would you say that training in beauty therapy is a bad idea if you have mobility difficulties? Or is there ways to make it work? I’d really appreciate your opinion and again thank you so much for your videos they’ve been extremely helpful ☺️🥰🥰
Hi, some people may disagree but I personally don't believe there is a maximum age for it. If you're good at beauty it shouldn't matter if you're 18 or 50. In general yeah I would say it may not be the best suited job but it does depend on the mobility difficulty and the treatments you want to offer x
New subscriber 😊😊 I really love this video. You did a good job, keep it going 💙 I'm looking into beauty therapy and considering if it's for me or not. For most of my education journey I stick to media and I'm now finishing my last year. I feel like it's too late for me to go and do a different subject course as I would probably need to pay and I'm not sure which area I would like to focus on. As well as find a course that's best for me.
Thank you I'm glad you liked it! I finished my psychology degree then went into beauty not knowing what I wanted to focus on. Once you study the course and work, then you realise what area you would like to get into. So many people in my class were older and have changed career paths so it's never too late! Just make sure you really think about it. Call up a few places and ask them any questions that you have. You can also go to an open day at a beauty college to get an idea x
LCBT should have open days so you can have a look around. They are in central london so if that's easy for you to travel to, you should check them out because they have improved after I left :)
Yep I've been a beauty therapist for around 3 years now. I do get tired but so far I'm loving it and I'm happy! Where you work and who you work with has a big impact on this though :)
Oh I haven't heard of a technical diploma but just had a little search for you - I don't see a difference. The course modules are the most important thing to look out for. For example, some level 3 beauty therapy courses don't include electrolysis as a module which isn't good if you wanted to train in laser in the future.

Omg I loved your advices. 😊Amazing video to watch, specially if you are thinking to start in the beauty industry.
I don’t like that a Beauty therapist have to do manicure and pedicure! That is why I am going to start the Advanced Level 4 to the Aesthetic side.
“Are you a caring person?”
Me: nah-nope definitely not for me
Started level 2 beauty in September and starting to do it on clients in college lowkey nervous 😂

Melis Ates this was so helpful thank you so muchx also wondering for level 2 beauty do U get a makeup kit and the beauty kit ? X
Nope we just got a beauty kit. We did not get makeup but they did have a box of makeup provided for us to use or we brought in our own makeup from home. Nearly all the girls preferred bringing in their own makeup x

Do I have to do the level 3 if I complete the level 2 beauty therapy ? Also how much does a level 2 student earn ? Thank you
It really depends on which route you want to take. You do not have to do Level 3 but it will open a lot more doors if you do. Sometimes Level 2 is enough and you can go on short courses to expand your skills. If you want to get into the aesthetics side, some salons even ask for a Level 4 qualification!

Melis Ates excellent ! I think I'll do the level 3 after I complete the level 2! Very informative thanks ❤
You're very welcome good luck on your journey!
Most of the time you have to complete level 2 beauty therapy to progress to level 3 because the treatments in level 3 are more complicated and complex than the treatments in level 2
Thank you
Do you learn how to do lash lifting in the level 2 course x
Seyda wilsko No we didn’t that’s a separate course x
Is a ‘Signature Facial’ a mini facial?/ is ‘Signature Facial’ is another name for mini facial?/ are they the same?
Ekso Stan Legends stan EXO Normally no they are not the same. Mini facial can be 15 or 30 minutes. Signature facial can be 30 or 60 minutes. But this depends on the salon and skincare brand!
Melis Ates oh okays. Cause for school we are using ‘PAYOT’ skincare
Ekso Stan Legends stan EXO Sorry I don’t know that brand
Hey lovely thanks so much for this. I am currently doing level two and want to start practicing facials! Would you mind sharing essential facial kit and what products u recommend for a starter? Thank you i want to start practicing on friends! Also a londoner and appreciate you! Xxx
Hi, for facials you need cleansers, toners, exfoliators, massage product, masks, moisturisers and a steamer x
@@melisatesbel thanks beautiful! But I meant more on terms of affordable but decent brands? That's really helpful though thank you xxxx
Do u have any tips on how to be a great Diploma of beauty therapy student???
Btw, I started beauty therapy @ ELLY Lukas! 😊
That's great I hope you enjoy it! I recommend that you read over topics before your lecture and prepare any questions you have. Be organised and don't leave coursework until the last minute. My last and most important tip is to practice treatments at home if you can!
Melis Ates thanks~!!^^
Nice
Did you do the Level 4 at LCBT ? How long was it for?
Monica Paun no I only went up to Level 3
hey would the beauty courses such as LCBT and the beauty academy be free for 16 year olds ?x
Hi, level 2/3 beauty courses at LCBT is free for 16-18 year olds x
Hi thank you for all your videos they are fantastic 💓
Would you say that there’s a maximum age limit to begin a career in the beauty industry and start a beauty therapy course?

How long have u been a beauty Therapist?
I qualified in level 2 beauty therapy 4 years ago :)

Melis Ates I am really considering of applying to the college in Oxford, That you have spoken about in your video.
LCBT should have open days so you can have a look around. They are in central london so if that's easy for you to travel to, you should check them out because they have improved after I left :)
Melis Ates Alright, I will defently do that. Are you now a beauty therapist? Is so, How do you find the industry?
Yep I've been a beauty therapist for around 3 years now. I do get tired but so far I'm loving it and I'm happy! Where you work and who you work with has a big impact on this though :)
Kızım benim çok güzelsin.
i’m doing lvl 2 in september i’m going to have to take off my acrylics aren’t i lol😞
omgitsnishaaa aww yep you will have to they don’t even allow nail polish ☺️ I had gel polish on mine and my teacher soaked them off for me 😅
Melis Ates is their a difference between technical & diploma
Oh I haven't heard of a technical diploma but just had a little search for you - I don't see a difference. The course modules are the most important thing to look out for. For example, some level 3 beauty therapy courses don't include electrolysis as a module which isn't good if you wanted to train in laser in the future.
