I have worked as a beauty teacher for over 8 years teaching young and adult learners. You are not too old! You will most likely find yourself in a class with ladies similar age. Good luck with it x

I meant CTTLS sorry not DTTLS! CTTLS is now called level 3 x

It depends where you want to teach or train. Most places want you to have DTLLS which you can enrol for that with your local college. Many education establishments want you to have Certificate of Education this is a longer course but it gives you more options to where you teach. You will most...

You dont need any prior qualifications for level 2 or 3 as an adult (over 19)

You have more options going level 3 beauty at apprenticeship but level 2 are also out there. I would suggest doing level 2 part time at your local FE college and keeping your job going. Then if you enjoy it either full time level 3 apprenticeship general route. Or specialise in nails, make up...

If the young person in question is doing VTCT technical qualification then the other person in the room at the time is an IQA (Internal quality assurance). They are there to assure, among other things that learners are assessed fairly and equally. If this procedure is not robust then you are...

Yes agree I do use strip cream wax on the brows. Hot every where else x

I would definitely get in touch as you clearly care, it shows the client that, and you can reassure her it does happen from time to time. See if you can find out if there are any changes like meds, products (as already suggested) even if she has been on holiday recently or started using sunbeds...

This is an interesting thread in recent years I have mostly stopped using strip on the face and I train my learners to do the same. Reason being removal of skin. I personally like Perron Rigot waxes x

Just wondering if any of you ladies have done gel bottle training? I only ask as I am thinking of doing the gel bottle training for natural nails. If you have done it, what did you think?
