Hi,
I'd like some guidance please. I am looking at a career change from an NHS healthcare professional to specialistin waxing. I've completed a lot of personal study on the subject of waxing/anatomy & physiology and I've attended various quality waxing courses facilitated by some of the best in the business. I've also spent many hours practicing my waxing skills on family/friends/acquaintances and getting feedback.
I'd like to rent a room in a salon which will be my base, eventually to then consider opening a salon of my own. I'm not sure if there are minimum requirements to rent a room or open a salon practicing only waxing. I understand some councils require an NVQ 2 in beauty therapy to open your own salon.
Are there rules around renting a room though? I'd obviously have my insurance in place. I don't see the benefit of paying out an awful lot of money and spending time completing an NVQ 2 in beauty therapy when, basically, the quality of training wouldn't be anywhere near the waxing specific courses I've done and will cover a lot of services I do not wish to provide. I am qualified to degree level in a healthcare related subject and this included anatomy and physiology so, again, completing an NVQ even for A&P isn't helpful for me. I also have many transferable skills from my career in the NHS in terms of customer service.
Would be grateful for insight into this as I'd like to look at options for renting a room quite soon.
Thanks
