Beauty Therapy case studies

Beauty Therapy is a vocational credential for people who provide skin care, hair removal, nail, lash and brow, makeup, and body treatment services under the standards set by a licensing or awarding body. Candidates usually come from one of three routes: a formal beauty therapy qualification, an apprenticeship, or recognition of supervised salon experience. The written theory paper tests eleven areas: professional standards and legislation, health, safety and infection control, skin and hair anatomy and physiology, consultation and treatment planning, facial and skin care treatments, hair removal, manicure and pedicure, lash and brow services, makeup and colour theory, body treatments and massage, and product knowledge and cosmetic chemistry. The practical assessment is where most marks are lost, so rehearse full treatment sequences on models with timed setups, correct sanitising between clients, and a spoken consultation. The Beauty Therapy case studies are 5 cases and about 3,523 words.
