There is not sufficient room here to go into the different branches that exist and that differ from one country to another. It is true that there are a great number of different types of training courses in bio-aesthetics. State schools, private schools, secondary education, higher education, social promotion education, training provided by ministries; each country has its own specialities.
Nevertheless, in a profession that is continually evolving, it is important for a candidate beautician to find a serious source of training; one which will guarantee the education that will provide her with the professional and human qualifications that she will need to carry out this profession.
The International Federation of Aestheticians focuses its activities in the field of training

| Beauticians can work as freelancers or as salaried employees in beauty parlours, hairdressers, perfumeries, but also in big department stores, spa centres or health clubs, in-pharmacy beauty institutes, or even from home.
Work in beauty parlours is the most common opening for candidates starting their studies. It is the dream of many, but it remains difficult to achieve, as it requires a considerable amount of energy and willpower both during the study period as well as in working time.

In addition to the traditional profession carried out in beauty parlours (and other similar establishments), it looks as though beauticians will be playing new and different social roles in the third millennium.
A role that involves not only the beauty aspect, but also social, educational and humanitarian aspects (a role that has emerged through the appearance of multi-talented auxiliary beauticians who are administer treatments in convalescent homes, maternity wards, palliative care units, hospitals, AIDS centres, women’s prisons, etc.).
Nadine Salembier, president, and her team have succeeded in completing these projects. High-precision training courses in these subject have been put together by experts in each of the different specialist fields. |
