Beauty Care is a course which consists of beauty therapy and hairdressing. S3 and S4 both take part in this for a period of two years. They all learn to wash, dry, style, cut and colour hair during the two years of hairdressing. During the two years of beauty therapy they learn to wax, tint, do facials etc all the skills a beauty therapist needs to acquire.
