    Other places rather than a salon to rent rooms

    Hi, could I ask if you have had any restrictions put on treatments that you are able to offer at the indoor market? We have one locally and I was considering it as an option.

    Do beauty apprenticeships exist?

    They certainly do, we have two groups progressing to apprenticeships per year. Learners must complete level two before progressing onto a level 3 apprenticeship and so they are fully qualified in all level two treatments when they join you. I recommend contacting your local colleges who I am...
