I think our pay as beauty therapists could be so much better but it’s the love of the job that keeps us here with the same unchanged pay. I work in South East London I make more or less the same per hour with commission on treatments, courses and retail. I’m living more than comfortably but it could be so much better
Thanks for the info. I'm from Mexico but currently a recent graduate beauty therapist dreaming huge on future opportunities... Here also, we don't win to much, but I love this profession. Thanks for your content. Blessings 💕
I recieved my qualification in February. I’ve been living in ibiza last few months and been back in uk for 2 weeks. I have level 2 and a diploma in nails. I can’t seem to get a job! No one is giving me a chance and they alll want level 3, I feel so defeated 😞😞
@@itsmelisates just salons- and if i'm to be honest i'm not really interested in wanting to learn level 3 whereas level 2 i really wanted too and worked very hard to get the qualification. I am meeting with a woman this saturday so i'm hoping this may be the one but i know i still need to keep looking just in case :(
I’ve just qualified and I’m struggle To find a job as there all asking for either one year experience or level 3, but I don’t get how they expect me to have that if they won’t even give me a chance it’s very frustrating hope you have some advice? x
Odeta Bajor Don’t give up just keep applying! Have you considered doing Level 3? I also have a video on interview tips th-cam.com/video/1AtxV3M7Jlg/w-d-xo.html Hope this helps good luck!
Hey Lovely another great video! Thank you! ive worked in beauty retail for estee Lauder Companies and although I loved it, there was always something missing, there was no substance (personal opinion) to the job and after wanting to become a beauty therapist for so many years i feel like my qualification will give my role more meaning. Im hoping to work at a Clarins spa as i find many salons work inline with retail expectations and sales targets anyway so this way i could remain in the industry i love whilst perfomorming actually treatments and finding it much more fulfilling then being on the shop floor. As you are someone i look up to i would love to know what you think of that plan? (on a side note; Learning the Anotomy and Phisiolgy of the body is killing me- it's so incredibly hard!!) Thanks again hun xxxx
Hi thank you! Sounds good! Retail is important for all salons so it depends on which brands you want to work with. Some salons put a lot of pressure on retail and it can become stressful. Others are more relaxed. You have the retail experience already so it may feel like your comfort zone! You will only know if it was a good plan or not, until you actually do it. A&P can be tricky but you only have to do it once and it's done! x
Hello Melis,I was waiting for this video .Thank u very much for the information and experience that u sharing with us .Great video very informative 😍😍😍💯👍🌎❤️❤️❤️❤️💰💰💰💰🌞
I’m a receptionist at a waxing salon here in Australia, currently a beauty student at an academy, and I earn minimum $30.19 AUD an hour! And that’s not including overtime and weekend penalties.
I'm a Laser therapist here in Sydney and i get $13.50 pounds an hours with no tips and commission very hard to met and to get anything. I was actually considering moving to London to work there next year but wondering it worth it as that not as high rate that i get here and i feel like i would struggle living out of home on $10 pounds an hours haha. Do you know if laser therapist get paid higher in London compare to beauty therapist or it would be same rate probably? Thanks for the video xxx
Laser therapists get similar pay to beauty therapists it is between £9-£15 an hour depending on the area of London. Tips and commission also vary depending on the salon x
Hi, its so interesting! I live in New York City and have 2 main jobs as a beauty therapist. At my one job I earn 14.5 pounds an hour in the noho area. We don't have a selling target , get 10% from product sales and we receive tips on every treatment, the other salon I work at is in Brooklyn and I only recieve a hourly of 20 pounds an hour with no commisson and I rarely get tips.
Planing to work in Europe but I feel the pay in Europe for therapist is pretty low. I have been working in HongKong for almost 9-10 years as a therapist now. Would you the pay in hotels in Europe better than a day spa?
@@bhiseharshali sure, there’s no age limit to work as a Beauty Therapist in UK. Any age is ok as long as you have your qualifications and a bit of experience in a salon. Obviously before pandemic was super easy to land a job, now is more competitive but it’s possible.
Hey Melis, I’m 18from Ireland and going into beauty college in September. I was just wondering do you have your CIDESCO qualification? That’s the course I’m going into❤️❤️ if so, any advice on how to keep on top of all the knowledge as I know I’m there’s loads of information xx
Omg im also a psychology graduate but struggling so much to find a job. Did u think about doing masters or furthering ur studies in psychology or decided its not for you, i can understand for me seeking employment straight after grdauation is tough.
Ahh yeah it’s tough with just a undergraduate degree but I decided I didn’t want to study further than that so went into beauty instead. All of my friends found jobs I was the unlucky one 😅
@@itsmelisates thanks! I discovered your channel in my beauty therapist school, our English teacher used to show us some of your videos as a training. From that moment I love your channel, you seem to be such a beautiful person 😍😘 keep going 🌹
Can beauty therapists wear acrylics Cos when I go to college I want to do hairdressing, nail technology or beauty therapy and which one is better Cos id really like to know even though I have quite a few years left😂Xx
If you don’t mind to tell me, did you finish CIBTAC? I am currently studying in Dubai. I’m just wondering , do you work 8 hours every day? 2 days off? Thx 😊 🙏
You said in other video that you been unamployed when you did your level 2 and job centre paid for it but now you said you found a job Bifore you finished it so my question is have you had to give money back for a course? 🤔😊
As long as you are on job seekers when you start and pay for the course you don't have to pay any money :) even if you find a job and have income during the course.

Is there a age limit for job in UK for beauty therapist?
Harshali Bhise I think it’s 16. By the time you finish school and then finish your beauty therapy courses you will be around 16 anyway x
@@itsmelisates what if v r experienced at 36? Is there any possibility for job?

Do a lot of salons take you on as an apprentice for level 3?
I don't know anyone who did an apprentice sorry

Can beauty therapists wear acrylics Cos when I go to college I want to do hairdressing, nail technology or beauty therapy and which one is better Cos id really like to know even though I have quite a few years left😂Xx
Some salons allow acrylics and some don't so it depends on where you work x
If you don’t mind to tell me, did you finish CIBTAC? I am currently studying in Dubai. I’m just wondering , do you work 8 hours every day? 2 days off? Thx 😊 🙏
Hi kitty i am in dubai i have question please if u don’t mind
Should i go for beauty therapist course in dubai I mean it’s good for earning??
You said in other video that you been unamployed when you did your level 2 and job centre paid for it but now you said you found a job Bifore you finished it so my question is have you had to give money back for a course? 🤔😊
As long as you are on job seekers when you start and pay for the course you don't have to pay any money :) even if you find a job and have income during the course.
The money is dreadful for all the training and expenses involved in becoming a BT.
