Hair, Beauty and Spa Therapies
Employing over 1 million people in the UK alone, the beauty industry is a booming business to get into. A career in hairdressing, beauty and spa therapies not only offers flexible working hours and locations but could take you anywhere.

Which course is for me?
With entry-level courses, where no experience is necessary, to further study for existing wellbeing professionals, Glasgow Clyde College has a course for you.
Some courses combine skills, such as NQ Beauty with Make-up Artistry (Level 5), where you'll learn the basics in face and nail treatments whilst developing creative skills in the application of various make-up techniques. Others enable you to set the stage for your professional journey such as NC Hairdressing Level 5 (First Year).
Our courses are designed to let you progress your skills to HNC level and beyond or enter employment at any stage.
