This week, Weston College hosted the Beauty Therapy South West Skills Challenge endorsed by WorldSkills UK for the second year in a row, with one of our Weston College students, Aimee Thomas, taking 2nd place after Bath College. This was an excellent opportunity for students from across the South West to compete in a range of techniques in a professional, time-sensitive environment. 

Introduction to Skincare, Make Up and Nails

Explore the essentials of beauty therapy, skincare, and make up through our engaging taster sessions. Perfect for beginners, these sessions provide a hands-on introduction to key beauty techniques in a welcoming and supportive environment.

These workshops are an ideal way to get a feel for our part-time Level 2 courses in Beauty Therapy and level 3 in massage, starting September 2025. You’ll meet our experienced instructors, discover what the courses involve, and gain foundational skills to help you decide if this pathway is right for you.

Throughout the sessions, you’ll participate in a variety of practical activities, discussions, and exercises covering:

  • Makeup Techniques and Application
  • Introduction to Facials and Manicures
  • Core Beauty Skills and Techniques

This is an excellent opportunity to explore your interest in beauty therapy and nail care, gain confidence, and determine if a career in this vibrant industry aligns with your aspirations. Following the taster sessions, you may choose to progress onto our Level 2 courses, such as Beauty Therapy, eyelash treatments or massage, to further develop your skills and qualifications.
