There is no minimum qualification for entering into the profession, and many young people between 16 and 24 will start out in a particular salon doing an apprenticeship. To find out more about these, it's advisable to go to www.apprenticeships.org.uk. However, if you're looking for a sustainable career in a reputable salon, or hoping to start your own business, you will need to look into getting proper qualifications. If you are looking to be a junior manicurist, you'll need at least the NVQ/SVQ Level 2, and to be a senior or salon manicurist and pedicurist you'll need the NVQ/SVQ Level 3. Many people study in local or private colleges to qualify, including The Vocational Training Charitable Trust (VTCT) which offers a Level 2 Certificate, and City and Guilds, VTCT and Edexel which offer Levels 2 and 3. For a more extensive list of approved training centres, contact ANT, the manicurists and pedicurists association, or the Hairdressing and Beauty Industry Authority (HABIA).
