Hi I wonder if anyone can help with regards to opening my own shop. I've been in the beauty industry for 7 years taking courses in nails, sp eyelashes, spraytans, HD brows, shrinking violet, waxing, facials etc. I'm now wanting to open my own shop and stop the mobile business. Does anyone know if to open a beauty shop I have to have an nvq? I've been told you can't open a salon without an nvq level 3. With so many years in the industry id be so disappointed to be told it couldn't happen. Thanks in advance x
