You never know what the day’s going to bring in Beauty Training.

It’s clear that there are certain types of Beauty Treatment that become the hot ones for a time. They sort of sneak up on you from nowhere and then everybody wants to be a part of it.

We’ve just been enrolling our new Level 4 Certificate in Microblading Course which starts later this month. The response we’ve had to it has been nothing short of phenomenal.  From the requests we’ve had to run the Course, we knew that there was certainly some interest in it – but we honestly didn’t expect to have the hundreds of messages and responses that we’ve had in the past couple of weeks.

We’ve decided to run the VTCT Level 4 Certificate Course after having a detailed look at the other ones on offer around the North West and we believe that this one is by far the most in-depth and detailed Course around. From the chats I’ve had with people wanting to enrol, it’s amazing how much time they have spent researching this as a new skill and they also realise that it’s a fantastic potential money earner.

I always find it very interesting talking to the great people that contact us and come in to see us, guys and girls. There’s so much positivity about what they want to do and the new skills they’re looking to learn. Microblading has been one that’s taken many by surprise, that’s for sure.

The Beauty business is one that’s been growing continually over the last decade and just from the conversations we’ve had with people recently, the will to keep it developing and getting more professional all the time is glaringly obvious.  The quality of Training in the key Beauty skills has developed so much in recent years too and that’s why at Feel Good Futures we’re so excited to be working with the people at VTCT to deliver the highest quality Courses now and going forward.

It’s also great to see how many of our Students that have recently completed their Courses with us have now got profitable employment using their new skills. We’ve just done an internal survey for our Accrediting body and it shows that 98% of people who have completed with us are now working regularly on a self-employed or full-time basis.  Their range of skills also mean that they can be confident in charging the right money for the job, earning £50 - £250 a treatment!

Since the Brexit vote, some Companies are showing that their sales have risen by over 20%. There’s quite a bit of evidence that when things in the economy get a bit shaky, the Beauty business actually benefits as people go out and spend money to make themselves feel better.  Given that we’re being told that things could get sticky for a while when we leave the EU, that can only be a very positive thing for Beauty Professionals.

Looking ahead, we’re just planning our next range of Courses that we’ll be running between now and the end of the year. These are all driven by the people we speak to each week and the things they say they’d like to be learning going forward. So if you’re looking to get yourself a start in Beauty, or maybe you’re already working in the business but want to get a range of new skills, there are so many ways you can do it. It doesn’t have to get in the way of the other things going on in your life either. We are continually making our Courses flexible so that we make them as accessible as possible for everyone.

So back to the Microblading Course.. Those brows need to look fantastic while all of the Brexit negotiations are going on.
