Beauty Courses Dartford: Which Course Is Right for You? | MYB
Which Beauty Course Should I Take? A Beginner’s Guide to Beauty Courses in Dartford
So, you want to get into the beauty industry… but you’ve opened Instagram, seen approximately 47 different treatments you could learn and now have absolutely no idea where to start.
Lashes? Brows? Nails? Facials? Aesthetics?
Welcome to the club. 😂
Choosing your first beauty course can feel a little overwhelming, especially when you’re investing your own time and money into training.
The good news? There isn’t one single “best” beauty course.
The right course depends on what you enjoy, the type of clients you want to work with and where you want your beauty career to take you.
At Maintain Your Beauty Academy in Dartford, we train students across lashes, brows, nails, facials, hair removal, makeup and aesthetics, so we’ve put together this guide to help you work out which route might suit you best.
Whether you’re thinking about a complete career change, want to start earning alongside your current job or you’re already in the beauty industry and fancy adding another treatment to your menu, start here.
Can You Start a Career in Beauty as a Beginner?
Absolutely — everyone has to start somewhere.
You don’t have to have been obsessed with makeup since you were five, have thousands of Instagram followers or already know how to run a beauty business.
What you do need is good training, plenty of practice and the willingness to keep learning after your course.
Some beauty courses are ideal as a first step into the industry, while more advanced treatments may require previous qualifications or experience. If you’re unsure whether you meet the entry requirements for a particular course, speak to us before booking and we can point you in the right direction.
The biggest mistake is choosing a treatment simply because it looks popular online.
Instead, think about the type of work you can actually imagine yourself enjoying.
Let’s break it down.
Love Lashes? Start With a Lash Course
If you’re the person who notices everyone’s lashes the second they walk into a room, this might be your sign.
Lash treatments continue to be a huge part of the beauty industry because clients return regularly for maintenance, infills, lifts and new sets.
At Maintain Your Beauty Academy in Dartford, our lash training includes:
Eyelash Extension Course with Kit
Lash Lift Course
Korean Lash Lift Course
Eyelash Extension Training
Learning lash extensions gives you a skill that can become a major part of a beauty business.
It’s detailed work, so you’ll probably enjoy it if you’re patient, precise and like creating a visible transformation.
Once you’ve built your confidence and client base, lash clients can also become repeat clients because extensions require regular maintenance.
This route could suit you if: you like detailed work, enjoy lashes and want a treatment clients return for regularly.
Lash Lift Training
Prefer working with someone’s natural lashes?
A lash lift enhances the natural lash rather than adding extensions. It can be a great treatment to add alongside brows and other natural beauty services.
MYB also offers both traditional Lash Lift training and Korean Lash Lift training.
This route could suit you if: you love natural-looking results, already offer brows or want a treatment that works well alongside other salon services.
Are Brows More Your Thing?
Never underestimate the power of a good brow.
Brows are another brilliant area of beauty to specialise in because there are several services you can eventually combine into a fuller brow menu.
At MYB Academy, brow training includes:
Eyebrow Shape & Tint
Eyebrow Lamination
Eyebrow Shape & Tint
If you’re completely drawn to brows, learning the fundamentals of shaping and tinting is a great skill to have in your treatment toolkit.
Good brows aren’t about giving every client exactly the same shape. They’re about working with the individual client, their natural brows and the result they actually want.
This route could suit you if: you enjoy working with natural features and want to build your confidence in brow treatments.
Eyebrow Lamination
Brow lamination is perfect for clients who want fuller-looking, groomed brows and has become a staple on many beauty treatment menus.
It also pairs brilliantly with other brow and lash services.
This route could suit you if: you already love brow transformations or want to expand an existing brow treatment menu.
Can I Do Beauty Training Around My Current Job?
For many people, beauty doesn't begin with handing in a resignation letter on Monday and opening a salon on Tuesday.
And that's completely fine.
You might train in one treatment, practise around your current commitments and gradually build up clients.
You might want an extra income.
You might eventually want to become self-employed.
Or you might already work in beauty and simply want to add something new to your menu.
There isn't one correct route into the industry.
The important part is choosing proper training rather than rushing because you feel like everyone else is ahead of you.
Spoiler: they aren't.
