Beauty and wellbeing

In Worcestershire beauty and wellbeing jobs tend to be advertised by smaller organisations. You will find lots of hairdressers, nail bars and beauty salons on a high street near to you in Worcestershire.

Some of the larger companies that have advertised positions in 2021 were Boots and Benefit Cosmetics. Some smaller local companies include Supercuts and Elegant Eyebrows.

Make-up, beauty treatments and hair care are big businesses and so there are lots of jobs in this area. This industry consists of lots of self-employed people who might own a salon, run their own freelance business, or work overseas or on cruise ships.
