Beauty as a Career
Today more and more woman and men accept the fact that a visit to their Beauty Therapist is worthwhile and advantageous. It gives them a lift and makes them more confident.
Most people today have a busy working life and need to look their best. The beauty field is one of the fastest growing professions in the world, and New Zealand is no exception. This is no longer a “female occupation” either. With the changes in men’s grooming requirements, the industry welcomes male therapists.
