Personal Profile
From a young age I have had a great interest in beauty therapy and its ability to promote within me a positive enhancement of my physical and mental self image. I also feel that it has a strong impact on me, both in terms of being mentally challenging and also as a hands on profession.
I acknowledge that beauty therapy is both a very challenging and demanding career; however I feel that the rewards are amazing knowing that you have truly made a difference in the way a person feels mentally and physically.
I am eager to pursue beauty therapy as a career because I truly feel that it makes a difference to other people’s lives. In a society which is both demanding and fast paced, I feel that beauty therapy has an essential place; in terms of its relaxing and therapeutic qualities and its ability to enhance an individual’s sense of calm, well being and self confidence.
Beauty therapy is a career which requires dedicated, reliable and trusting people who can develop relationships with others quickly. I am an open and honest person, who treats other people with respect. I am also a very good listener which I feel is essential for a career in the beauty industry.
These are qualities which I feel I have fostered in the college on my practical lessons and in my previous jobs where I was working with elderly, disable and challenging behaviour people.
I was working with disable people, where I did treatments for ladies that were unable to visit a salon.
I used to work in Burger King, on a full time basis when I was younger.
This has involved interacting with a diverse range of people and has taught me to be more tolerant and patient with others. It has also helped me to develop effective communication skills, which I feel are skills that I will be able to transfer when undertaking a career as a Beauty Therapist.
Furthermore I have completed work experience in Bedford college and little bit of experience in 5th Avenue of beauty salon where I could observe how the beauty salon is running and I could observe and practice on my friends nail polish treatments. I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience and it has confirmed my desire to work in the industry.
I have enjoyed every aspect of my level two beauty therapy course and I also was enjoying doing my level three course even more. I enjoyed the variety the course offered, both in terms of the practical and theoretical knowledge I was acquiring.
I feel that I was a keen dedicated student and I feel that I was rewarded for this by winning the class Christmas make up competition for my level two beauty therapy.
I am particularly interested in expanding my knowledge base in regards to make up, body massage, body electrical, facial, facial electrical treatments, eyebrow microblading, filler injections.
I have researched a lot about each one of these subjects and they have continued to interest and amaze me. I also feel that it is imperative for a Beauty Therapist to have a good understanding of the human body, as you are constantly working on the body. Therefore I feel that it is necessary for me to keep expanding my knowledge in regards to anatomy and physiology.
I would like to further my experience within the beauty industry and I feel Beauty Therapy lvl three degree will help me expand more what I have already learned and will help me to be a more experienced, effective and skilled therapist.
