Product Description

Product Description
The Beauty Therapy Fact File has been written for all ages and levels of ability and provides a comprehensive reference for students studying beauty therapy up to and including NVQ Levels 1, 2 and 3. It also covers the course requirements for Business Management and Aromatherapy Level 3. Beauty therapists have to acquire a great deal of knowledge when undertaking any course. This book, therefore, is an invaluable guide to principles and practices in beauty therapy since it covers all aspects of the subject which are important to the trainee and practitioner. There is a comprehensive section on business management, and the detailed anatomy, physiology and required electrical science content of the syllabuses are included. New beauty therapy treatments such as floatation tank therapy, laser therapy, ultrasound, crystal therapy and the use of alpha hydroxy acids are covered in some detail, and there is a new chapter on aromatherapy. The book is presented in a clear and concise way to enable students to find information quickly and easily. Divided into five parts, the contents include: *Facial treatments *Body treatments *Epilation and hair *Manicure, pedicure and depilation *Business management. Susan Cressy has been in the beauty business management for twenty-five years as a practising therapist, business manager, training manager, college lecturer and examiner for the CGLI. Teaching business management to students for seven years, Susan's industrial experience in management started early on in her career when two years after leaving college she was promoted to a management position running a health club for a large hotel group. THis was followed by a management position working with an internationally renowned hairdresser. Having established her own business, which she ran for ten years, Susan Cressy is currently running her own beauty consultancy and lecturing at South Trafford College, Manchester.

5.0 out of 5 stars It has EVERYTHING you need to know!, 2 May 2001
By toots1313@hotmail.com (Aberdeen, Scotland) - See all my reviews
I initially got this book to help me with a part-time course inNail Technology and it was a GREAT help - giving me the info I needed to complete all my assignments. I then went on to study NVQ Beauty Therapy full-time and the book became INVALUABLE! It has everything you will ever need to know to study Beauty Therapy. I call it my Beauty Bible!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best beauty therapy text book, 24 Jan 2005
By A Customer
This book is fantastic, I love the easy to read content and that it covers the whole of the beauty therapy syllabus. Information is very easy to find and I have used this book for writing my college assignments. The different coloured sections are a good idea so you can find the subject you are looking for quickly. I would recommend it to anyone taking a course in beauty therapy. Having returned to college to retrain I was worried about revision and exams but this book makes it easy!

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent reference book for beauty therapy, 12 Nov 2001
By A Customer
This book is so easy to read, it has all the essential material I needed to complete my beauty therapy level 2 and 3. It has been a great help to me in my new role as a supervisor in a very busy salon. I would recommend anyone embarking on a beauty therapy course to buy this book!
