A Flexible Career in Beauty to Fit Around Your Life
We’ve all been there the catch 22 situation – we need to work hard to earn money, but the truth of the matter is that we would also love the flexibility to spend more time on ourselves, with our partners, kids or friends.
In short we would all love the opportunity to work less, earn more, be our own bosses and on top of that actually enjoy our jobs!
It sounds good – doesn’t it?
Well it can be done! Remember how much you love beauty?
If keeping up to date on the latest fashions, styles and makeover trends sounds right up your alley then becoming a Beauty Therapist could be the answer!
A Career in Beauty Therapy? Really?
Yes!
The Beauty Industry is growing, with experts (HABIA) predicting that by 2020 the market will increase by 23%.
Currently the industry is worth a whopping £17 billion to the UK economy and it just keeps growing. Furthermore, in uncertain times within the UK economy, in the two days post-brexit Treatwell reports sales up 40% on last year.
The beauty industry was also seemingly unaffected by the recession in 2008 – showing the stability of the industry; after all people will always want to treat themselves and loved ones.
What’s more is that a career in beauty can be as flexible as you are – full and part-time working within the beauty sector is common so, it is easy to find work to suit you. If you’d rather, you can even become self-employed as a Beauty Therapist and work either from home, or become mobile.
It really is a career which has something to offer for everyone! The job is as flexible as you make it, making it the perfect choice for those of us who want the option to fit work around other commitments.
Further opportunities are available for Beauty Therapists to work abroad or on cruise ships. You could even embrace the glamorous side of this beautiful industry and pursue opportunities on television or film sets!

Beauty therapists are happily getting the respect they deserve nowadays. There are ways of fitting the job around a family although Saturday working is always going to earn more money. Definitely a job to go into if you have the talent.
Amazing and interesting opportunity 🙂 I love beauty products and skin care and this one is a great one. Work from home is the best thing in life.
I would have never thought about making a career out of this! I need to look more into it. I am a beauty junkie!
these are some good suggestions. some of them ive never thought about. great for those who are considering to go down the beauty path
What an interesting post and so glad that you share this good information with us
I have never considered a career in beauty but it sounds awesome and fulfilling. i do review products and write a lot about it so it would be beneficial.
Sounds like a really great course! Fabulous way to boost your career prospects! L x
I always think skills like these are useful to have as they’re a trade you can fall back on though most of your life. My friend was a hairdresser when she first started out and moved onto a career in the city but when times got tough it was always easy to fall back on her hairdressing skills.
Having a career in the beauty industry is ideal, especially if you’re skilful as a beauty therapist or a hairdresser because they’re skills you can always utilise throughout your life and go back to after maternity, etc xxx
The Training Rooms sounds fantastic. I love how flexible a career in beauty can be, especially if you are juggling family and other commitments! 🙂
Ooh this is really inspiring – I often think people don’t appreciate how much you can achieve working in a freelance industry.
The beauty industry is definitely thriving and growing rapidly I love seeing beauty therapists and having pamper time, now that i’m a mum its rare so I like to have treats sometimes! I imagine its an industry worth getting involved in for sure! I’d love a job that I can work around the kids but really hoping my blogging becomes something like that for me!
I’ve recently really started to enjoy having a facial they are so nice!
I’d love a career that fits around my blog!! At the moment I work full time so finding time to make the blog work is really tough. I’d love to have more flexibility!
It is hard isn’t it, there is so much that goes into blogging.
I’ve never thought about working as a beauty therapist. I’ve experienced working in the fashion industry and the beauty industry is quite close to that. I think it’s a great opportunity for women.
It is a really interesting place to think about working in, I have to admit I would quite like to learn a few techniques.
I had no idea the beauty industry was worth that much! This sounds like a great option for people who are passionate about a career in beauty.
It is crazy isn’t it – I have to admit I do love a good relaxing facial.
So many of my friends are into beauty. This sounds like something they would truly enjoy!
Ohh perhaps they could find the perfect career 😉 x
I think those who take jobs in fashion and beauty are great – they have to look their best every day! Fortunately I’ve already found my vocation but I always admire the latest looks and make-up/beauty trends.
Haha yeah that’s why I couldn’t do it – there is no way I could look good everyday!
I love fashion so I guess someday I’ll try the beauty and make-up industry too.
Ohh good luck if you do give it a try!
I’m all about makeup and beauty so this sounds like its right up my alley!!!!
There is something uplifting about it sometimes isn’t there.
oh this is awesome information. I will recommend this too to my friends. Thanks!
This is really good information, thanks so much for sharing.
Anything that increases your chance to work in a job you love is greta. I managed to get my level 2 in beauty therapy before life got in the way. It’s a great course.
Oh wow good to know it is a good course though, I would totally think about trying it myself I think.
It sounds like an interesting opportunity for those needing to find a job that works around them I might suggest this to one of my friends.
It really is – I can imagine in someways its a nice way to enhance your earnings as well.
That is such a great career option for people that are in to beauty products.
I’ve never thought about careers in beauty therapy but it sounds like they open the door to lots of opportunities.
It is amazing the doors it could open isn’t it, I think beauty therapists are often so talented as well.
I love how you’re so self-reliant in your career. It’s so inspiring to see someone who follows their dreams like you do.
What a great opportunity for those with a passion for beauty, I have a friend whose Daughter would be interested in this x
It is great isn’t it – I wish I had known so much about the things I was interested in way back when haha
if makeup is what you love doing then it is a great opportunity
Most definitely – I think there are some many opportunities out there but finding them can be hard.
Growing up I really wanted to be a beauty therapist, it’s great to know that I could still do it now alongside what I already do x
Of course you could! I’d be your first client too haha!
It’s good that there are so many courses out there for whatever you want to do x
I keep seeing so many different courses around at the moment it is amazing the choice out there.
I am too old for a new career now ha but how fantastic for those starting out and wondering where to begin! It is such a huge industry isn’t it!? We all love it too x
It is amazing isn’t it and your right so big! I think it’s one of those industries as well that will always offer jobs as well.
Sounds interesting. Not for me but I’ll pass it along.
I’ve dabbled with the idea of working in beauty but unfortunately have felt that its just not the right career for me. It’s great that the industry is growing though and that work can be flexible.
It is amazing isn’t it – I love the fact it allows people to work when they want and even where they want, from home or even going to clients.
Nice post. I love the post. I will share it with my sister in law, i think its good to great career in Beauty.
I continue to be amazed at how much is spent on beauty & loved your statistics.
The beauty industry is ever changing and has grown so much in the recent years. Its crazy how much comes out on a day to day.
It is an amazing industry isn’t it – I always wonder what will come out from it next.
This is so awesome. I don’t think I know enough about beauty for a career. I rarely wear makeup.
I have never considered a career in beauty but your right it is a flexible occupation. It is great that you have your own autonomy too!
Not for me but I know a few people this would be great for. The flexibility is a real plus too.
This would be great for someone who love beauty products. Such a cool career.
Never considered a career in beauty – it does sound like a good idea for many. It is different and think more needs to be done to inspire women to work for themselves!
Such an interesting post, thank you so much for sharing this information!
It’s definitely a fabulous Career choice for any young lady or of any age in fact. I trained as Hair Stylist from the age of 15, I had an amazing career and worked for an extremely famous chain. So many fabulous opportunities in the Beauty World at home or abroad x
Sounds very appealing
