I am wanting to start out in the beauty industry and want to seek training. I am particularly interested in Nail systems, waxing and eyelash extensions. I know that the lash extensions is not an NVQ, but is it really necessary for me to do the training for the nails, waxing, and anything else i decide to do, at NVQ level or can i just do the cheaper version which is babtac and guild recognised????? I would like to begin as a mobile technician until my daughter goes to school, then i may want to consider seeking employment.

ANYBODY THAT CAN HELP ME UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE??? I WOULD BE SO GRATEFUL!!! THANKS X
