Essential to get you through your NVQ 2
This book contains all the knowledge and information you need in order to pass your NVQ 2 Beauty Therapy successfully. In my opinion it is the most concise and well illustrated of the NVQ Beauty Therapy books.

I especially liked the simple step by step diagrams which helped with the more complicated areas of the syllabus. The content covers the syllbus fully but without going into too much detail on areas where in depth knowledge is not required.

I also liked the real photos featured which show a true to life illustration of what cn be achieved by beauty therapy treatments, this is also inspiring as it shows you what you the outcomes of the skill you will have learnt by the end of the course.

This book provides excellent revision material (there are short self assessments at the end of each section) and will act as an invaulable reference guide during and after you have finished your beauty therapy NVQ 2.

No wonder my college lecturers use it as a "beauty bible"!!!
Clear, easy to digest guidance on all aspects of beauty procedures. Beautifully illustrated, excellent step-by-step photography. Covers everything from making appointments to detailed anatomy. Can't wait for Level 3 !!!

An indispensible guide for level 2 Beauty Therapy
As a Lecturer of Beauty Therapy I have found this book indispensible as a reference both for planning lessons and for my students for City and Guilds NVQ2 Beauty Therapy. I have met Lorraine Nordmann (an External Verifier for City and Guilds) whilst I was assessing students; and found her to be both exacting and knowledgeable. This book matches the teaching standards perfectly and so is ideal for students and Lecturers alike. There are clear learning objectives in all sections; and the book is easy for students to read too.
