There’s something about a new year that makes you pause and think: What do I really want? More freedom? A career that feels creative and people-focused? A skill you can build into your own business, your own schedule, your own future?

If 2026 is your “new me” era, here’s your sign: why not become a beauty therapist from the start of the year?

At Ana’s Beauty Parlour, our training is designed to help you go from “I’ve always been interested in beauty…” to confidently performing real, in-demand treatments—with hands-on learning and expert support. We’re an ABT-accredited training provider, and students who complete our courses receive a 10% off ABT insurance vouchers to help you start professionally.

Why the beauty industry is a smart move right now

Beauty isn’t just a passion—it’s a practical career path with real opportunities:

  • You can start small and build fast. One course can become your first service, your first clients, and your first income stream.

  • It’s flexible. Work in a salon, rent a chair/room, go mobile, or build your own home setup (where appropriate).

  • Clients always want results. Skincare, brows, lashes—these are high-demand, repeat-appointment services.

  • It’s rewarding. You don’t just do treatments—you help people feel confident in their own skin.

And the best part? You don’t need to wait “one day.” You can start training now and step into 2026 with a plan.


Train in Basingstoke with hands-on, confidence-building courses

Our academy is built around practical learning—not just watching, but doing. Many courses are delivered in a small group / 1:1 style for personalised support, so you can ask questions, practise properly, and leave feeling ready.

Here’s what you can train in:

Start with skincare: build the foundation of a beauty therapist

If you’re new to beauty, skincare is the perfect starting point.

Facial Skincare – Foundation Course (Entry Level) | 1 full day (7 hours) | £399

This beginner-friendly course is designed for aspiring beauty therapists and complete beginners. You’ll learn core facial skills—client consultation, skin knowledge, cleansing/exfoliation, massage movements, and aftercare—so you can confidently deliver professional basic facials.

From there, you can level up into advanced facial treatments:

  • HydraFacial Course (Advanced) | 7 hours | £399 

  • Microdermabrasion (Advanced) | 7 hours | £399

  • LED Therapy Course (Advanced) | 7 hours | £249 

These treatments are popular because they’re results-driven, and they fit beautifully into a skincare journey that keeps clients coming back.


Lashes & brows: quick services, loyal clients, great repeat business

If you love transformations (and clients who book regularly), lashes and brows are an amazing route.

  • Lashes & Brows Lamination & Tint Course (Entry Level) | 7 hours | £349 

  • Lash Lift & Tint Course (Entry Level) | 5 hours | £199

  • Brows Lamination, Shaping & Tint Course (Entry Level) | 5 hours | £199

Want to turn skills into income? Add business mentoring

Learning the treatment is one thing. Building a beauty business that actually grows is another.

That’s why we also offer:

Entrepreneur Mentoring Sessions | 1 hour | £100

Get tailored guidance for beauty, aesthetics, and wellness businesses—topics like marketing, building clientele, operations, H&S/legislation guidance, insurance understanding, and portfolio building. Sessions can be in-person or online.

If your 2026 goal is “be my own boss,” this is a powerful add-on to your training.


Your “New Year” plan (simple, realistic, doable)

If you’re not sure where to start, here’s an easy roadmap:

  1. Pick your lane: skincare, lashes & brows, or both

  2. Book your first course (foundation or an entry-level lash/brow course)

  3. Practise, build confidence, take photos (portfolio = clients)

  4. Add an advanced course once your basics feel solid

  5. Use mentoring to price, market, and plan your client growth

You don’t need to have it all figured out—you just need to start.
