Enchanted Student Beauty Lounge Clinics run every Thursday from 9am to 4pm. To meet your hours requirements, sessions can be booked on a mix of the following:

• 30 hours requirement (no credit transfer): 4 x 9am to 4pm sessions plus 1 x 1/2 day session
• 24 hours requirement (with credit transfer): 3 x 9am to 4pm sessions plus 1 x 1/2 day session

  Clinic dates are booked on a first come, first served basis and beds are limited to a maximum of 6 per session.

When we have received your payment, we will call you to make an appointment for an onboarding session with our Student Liaison. During this session she will check availability for clinic bed space, pre-plan your student clinic sessions in advance based on your preferred available dates and create client appointment availability for you for the treatments you are trained to provide.

After this appointment we will provide you with a clinic contract confirming your session times and dates, the treatments we will schedule you to provide, and what to bring and wear, so you have a training plan for your study.

This course is an excellent foundation for working in, owning or managing a salon, especially if you are just starting out or have no previous formal beauty qualifications.
