How to write yours

01

Qualifications first

Give your level, the awarding body and the year, so a salon knows what you can do on day one.

02

Name every treatment

List treatments by name in their own section; salons read it like a menu.

03

Show your column

Clients a day and regulars who book you by name show you are trusted.

04

Give your retail figure

Most salons set retail targets; a monthly figure with its year tells them you can sell without pushing.

Questions about a beauty therapist CV

Which beauty qualifications should I list?

You could study for a college qualification in beauty therapy, massage therapy, aromatherapy, nail technology or beauty specialist techniques, which may help when you apply for trainee jobs in a salon or spa (National Careers Service). Give each qualification with its level and year.

How do I list a beauty therapy apprenticeship?

You can do a Beauty Therapist Level 2 Intermediate Apprenticeship or an Advanced Beauty Therapist Level 3 Apprenticeship, which typically take up to 2 years and combine work-based training with study (National Careers Service). List it under Qualifications with its years.

Should I show I started as a salon assistant?

You could start as a beauty therapy assistant in a salon or spa and study for a qualification while you work (National Careers Service). Give the assistant job its own line.

Does a private beauty course count?

If you trained with a private provider, check whether the course leads to a recognised qualification (National Careers Service). Name the qualification and the awarding body, not only the provider.

Should I join a beauty therapist register?

You may find it useful to join a register like the Guild of Beauty Therapists (National Careers Service). Put it under Additional information.

Creative and one page: a colour band at the top and treatments in their own section, the way a salon reads them. For an online form, switch to Plain.
