Course details

Waxing is an advanced beauty therapy skill which is in demand in today's beauty salons and is a specialised skillset to promote your salon career.

Beauty salons not only need to provide their clients with advanced waxing treatments, they have also opened their doors to men and are offering them specialised treatments too.
