The beauty industry is not restricted to eye-brow waxing and nail polishing. The industry is growing and expanding to incorporate ever advancing technology and opportunities to work in diverse areas.

Technology such as IPL (permanent hair removal), advanced electrical facial machinery, acne light treatments, micro-dermabrasions and fruit acid peeling are transforming the beauty industry – opening up new markets of customers seeking specialised services.
