Have you wanted to find a new career path, learn new skills or simply need a change? If so part-time/evening courses could be perfect for you. Hair and Beauty courses are a great way to not only teach you how best to take care of yourself but could also lead to supplementing your income, or embarking on a new career. One thing to bear in mind is that a lot of beauty treatments require specialist training, and if you are looking for employment in this area you may need to check that the course offers relevant certification.



The courses on offer range from beginners to advanced. Whether you’re interested in make-up and beauty, beauty therapy, nail technician courses, hair dressing, make-up artistry, massage, facials or waxing, hair and beauty courses are widely varied and you will usually be able to find one to suit your schedule and requirements. More detailed courses will delve into elements of nutrition which impact personal well being and how diet and nutrition affects beauty. You will gain an understanding of cosmetic chemistry so your services can be customized for your clients based on skin type and colouring.

The ‘Beauty and Make-up Application course’ for beginners offered in the Old Bawn Community School, Dublin, is a great example of a start off course for those of you who would like to know more without having to commit to a full-time schedule.
