Career Perspective - Beauty Brand Representative

My Apprenticeship

I did my Level 2 Beauty Therapy apprenticeship with Kleek and Danielle Baker was my educator. The apprenticeship helped me develop core transferable skills like communication, customer service, time management, and product knowledge. Danielle was incredibly supportive, especially when things got tough, always believing in my abilities and encouraging me to reach my career goals. Her guidance helped boost my confidence and drive for the future.

Beauty Salon Experience

Once I completed my Level 2 beauty apprenticeship, I continued working in Lavender Cove Beauty Salon to develop my skills. Over time, I advanced to a Level 4 skin specialist within this nurse-led clinic. I found a real passion and enthusiasm for the skincare and aesthetics industry. I was really inspired and intrigued to find out more about the profession and the opportunities within it too.

A New Direction

I landed the role of Business Development Manager for iD CLINICA Skincare, which is a medical-grade skincare and specialises in overall skin health for both men and women, dermal fillers, and training. I play a crucial role in growing the brand and improving our online presence. My experience in a beauty salon has really helped me to understand how our products meet the client’s needs and expectations.

Looking To The Future

I absolutely love my new role and all the opportunities it now offers me. I have exhibited at Pro Beauty North in Manchester and CCR London recently and have lots of business development plans ahead. I am also now working to complete my Education and Training course to become a fully qualified educator, teaching aspiring skin practitioners. If you’re a beauty therapy apprentice at the moment or thinking about a career in beauty, I’d say be patient in your learning journey and never stop believing in yourself!
