ARIANA GRANDE’S REM

BEAUTY

INDUSTRY UPDATE

The UK beauty and aesthetics industry is booming

—but with that growth comes change. Whether

you're offering facials, peels, microneedling, or

more advanced treatments, the message is

becoming clearer: clients and regulators alike are

expecting more than just passion and talent. They

want proof.

Over the last two years, there's been a noticeable

shift in the way professional aesthetics is viewed.

More than ever, practitioners are being called

upon to demonstrate not just experience, but a

regulated and recognised level of education.

The Future Is Regulated

Why Qualifications Are Becoming

Essential in Aesthetics

Levelling Up:

Scotland is leading the way, with legislation soon

to be rolled out requiring aesthetic practitioners

and premises to be licensed. England is lagging

behind—but not for long. Consultations are

ongoing, and most industry insiders believe

regulation is now inevitable across the UK.

While this may seem daunting, it also presents a

huge

opportunity—particularly

for

ambitious

beauty professionals who want to stand out, grow

their business, and future-proof their careers.

According to experts, education will be the

defining factor. And we’re not just talking about a

weekend certificate or a CPD add-on. We're

talking about structured, nationally recognised

qualifications that prove not only your practical

skills

but

your

knowledge

of

anatomy,

contraindications, skin conditions, and treatment

safety.

s new regulations loom and client

expectations grow, the smartest beauty

professionals are turning to regulated

training—here’s why it matters now more than

ever.

“We’re seeing a big shift in what clients expect. They do

their research, they ask questions, and they’re comparing

practitioners,” says Neil Pybis, Lead Educator at the

National Aesthetics Training Academy (NATA). “Having a

recognised qualification shows you’re serious, and it gives

you the confidence to grow professionally—whether

you're working for someone else or building your own

brand.”

What Makes a Qualification ‘Recognised’?

The key difference lies in regulation. A recognised

qualification, such as those offered by NATA, is

mapped

to

national

education

standards.

It’s

externally verified and designed to give a complete

understanding of aesthetic practice—not just the

hands-on techniques, but the clinical, ethical, and

strategic knowledge needed to deliver safe and

effective results across all skin types and client needs.

The CPSA is an expert group of specialists with

patient/public

representation,

committed

to

safeguarding

people

who

undergo

non-surgical

cosmetic treatment and hair restoration surgery.

Practitioners who meet these Standards can now join

a register run by the Joint Council of Cosmetic

Practice (JCCP), with whom they work closely.

The JCCP Register is a single register divided into 2

parts. Part B relates to practitioners who are not in

current membership with, or are not eligible to join a

Professional Statutory Regulatory Body/Council such

as Beauty Therapists and Aesthetic Practitioners.

And as regulation becomes law, only these types of

qualifications are likely to be accepted by insurers,

employers, and government bodies.

From Beauty Basics to Advanced Aesthetics: The

NATA Pathway

For those ready to upskill, the National Aesthetics

Training Academy offers a structured route through

Levels 3, 4, and 5—with possible progression to Level

7 in advanced injectable therapies also on the horizon.

Level 3: Certificate in Principles of Aesthetics

Designed for beginners or those looking to formalise

their experience, this qualification covers consultation

skills, skin anatomy and physiology, common skin

conditions, and active ingredients used in skin care

such as antioxidants, peptides, and retinoids. It's a

strong, brand-neutral foundation.

Level 4: Diploma in Contemporary Skin Rejuvenation

Ideal for practitioners wanting to expand into

electrical

facials,

Microdermabrasion,

and

more

complex skin concerns. Includes advanced anatomy

and a deeper understanding of how internal body

systems affect the skin.

Level 5: Diploma Advanced Aesthetic Practice This

level focuses on high-level treatments like Laser

Therapy, Chemical Peels, High-Intensity Focused

Ultrasound (HIFU), and Advanced Microneedling.

You’ll also learn how to combine modalities for better

outcomes and client satisfaction.

Because NATA’s approach is brand-independent, you

gain flexibility to choose the right equipment and

products for your clients—without being locked into

any one supplier or system.

“Our aim is to create confident, capable practitioners

who can adapt to any clinic environment or build their

own business on their terms,” says Pybis. “It’s about

empowerment through education—without the stress of

traditional academia.”

Why It Matters Now

With licensing on the way and clients becoming more

discerning, the industry is moving towards greater

professionalism. Those with the right training will be

positioned as experts. Those without may find

themselves limited in the treatments they can offer—

or excluded from insurance altogether.

For beauty professionals who value independence,

image, and financial freedom, this is a moment of

opportunity.

With

the

right

guidance

and

qualifications, you won’t just stay in the industry—

you’ll lead it.

Ready to Take the Next Step?

Whether you're starting out or scaling up, NATA’s

nationally recognised training can help you grow your

skills, boost client trust, and future-proof your

business.

KELLY ROSE‌

Meet‌ ‌

T H E S K I N C L I N I C E X P E R T

“I created The Skin Clinic

Expert™ because I know what

it’s like to be overworked and

underpaid.”

welve-time award-winning Skincare Specialist

and Business Coach, Kelly Rose, is making

waves in the beauty industry not just for her

exceptional expertise in skincare, but for her powerful

mission: to help Skin Clinic Owners earn more, work

less, and truly become the go-to expert in their area.

As the founder of The Skin Clinic Expert™, Kelly has

transformed her years of hands-on experience — from

running a multi-six-figure clinic and launching her own

skincare line, to building a thriving online business —

into a results-driven coaching brand. Her goal? To

support ambitious Skin Professionals in stepping into

their expert status while creating time and income

freedom.

But Kelly’s impact doesn’t stop at the clinic door.

She’s the visionary behind The Beauty & Skincare

Awards UK and Beauty Business Elevation Live — two

major events designed to uplift and celebrate

excellence across the industry. Her thought leadership

has earned her expert features in Metro, House of

Coco Magazine, Beauty Backed, and Timely.

Speaking with Kelly, her passion is undeniable. She

understands first-hand the challenges Skin Specialists

face, and she’s on a mission to break the cycle of

burnout.

“So many talented professionals are stuck trading time for

money,” she shares. “My clients learn to position

themselves as premium experts, raise their prices, and

build businesses that support the life they want — not the

other way around.”

New Coaching Programme Launch

Following the success of her Booked, Banked & Time-

Rich masterclass, Kelly recently launched her 12-week

1:1 coaching experience. Tailored for Skin Clinic

Owners and Specialists, this transformative programme

covers everything from strategic pricing and service

structuring to mindset and visibility.

Clients walk away with systems that save time,

strategies that scale, and renewed confidence in their

value — often achieving consistent £5k–£10k months

without burning out.

“It’s about building a business like a CEO, not a service

provider. You don’t have to hustle 24/7 to succeed.”

Real Results for Real Professionals

Kelly’s clients often start out overwhelmed and

underbooked, but through her proven approach, they

achieve:

Premium brand repositioning

Profitable pricing & offer design

Streamlined systems to reduce stress

Consistent client bookings

A confident expert mindset

But beyond the numbers, Kelly says the biggest win is

watching clients take real time off — guilt-free.

guide: How to Attract 7 Premium Clients in 7 Days.

This is more than business coaching — it’s a complete

build the profitable, freedom-led clinic they deserve.

BUSINESS ACHIEVEMENT

NAIL INDUSTRY BRAND

FOUNDER ATTENDS

CHANCELLOR’S SMALL

BUSINESSES

CELEBRATION

ONDON, 4 JULY 2025: An award-winning nail

industry brand based in Newport was invited to

11 Downing Street recently at a special

reception hosted by the UK’s Chancellor of the

Exchequer Rachel Reeves, to recognise the contribution

of the UK’s 5.45 million small businesses to the country’s

economy, society and communities.

Michael Henson, co-founder of HONA ltd, attended the

special event which brought together recent winners

and finalists of The Small Awards. This annual awards

showcase is organised by Small Business Britain and

celebrates the UK’s ‘smallest and greatest’ businesses.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves said: “It’s

fantastic to celebrate the success of some of the UK’s

brightest and best small businesses who play a vital role

in driving growth, supporting jobs and keeping our high

streets and communities thriving.

“We’re backing our small businesses by tackling issues like

late payments and announcing £6.6bn of new capital for

the British Business Bank to help SMEs expand, create new

jobs, and boost their competitiveness internationally".

The event featured an array of over 40 small businesses,

from micro-businesses and family businesses to start-ups

and high street heroes.

Michael Henson, co-founder of HONA, a professional

nail brand, creating safer, stronger, and smarter systems

for nail technicians, won the Supply Chain Champion

Award for best B2B business title, which celebrates small

businesses that are working within the business supply

chain, and other businesses large and small.

HONA also won Small Business of the Year Award,

selected from the shortlisted entries from all the other

categories.

HONA recognised at 11 Downing Street

reception for ‘Small Award’ success

HOME OF NAIL ART

HONA won for its outstanding commitment to raising

standards within the professional nail industry through

innovative, ethical product development, inclusive

safety, community support, and sustainable growth. The

brand’s success reflects excellence across revenue

growth, supply chain management, digital innovation,

and staff development. All rooted in its mission to build a

safer, stronger, and smarter nail industry.

Michael Henson, founder of HONA said:

“Being invited to Downing Street was a surreal and

unforgettable moment, not just for me, but for my wife and

co-founder Charlotte and the whole team at HONA. It was

a proud reminder that small businesses like ours really do

have a voice and a role to play in shaping the future. To be

recognised on a national stage, after choosing the harder

path, one that puts ethics, safety, and community first,

means everything. It validates the work we’ve poured into

HONA and strengthens our belief that we’re building

something that truly matters.”

“Small businesses are the heart and soul of their

communities and contribute massively to the UK economy,”

said Michelle Ovens CBE, Founder of Small Business

Britain.

“It is fantastic to see the stellar achievements of HONA or

Michael? recognised by the Chancellor and the Treasury in

this way, at such a special event. It is so important that the

whole nation gets behind small businesses and give them all

the support they need.”

STACEY ALUZAIZI‌

Meet ‌

A R T I S T

The Rise of Stacey

Aluzaizi

From Bedroom

Studio to Brow

Champion

n the heart of Nottinghamshire, Stacey Aluzaizi has

become

a

name

synonymous

with

artistry,

authenticity, and ambition in the brow and aesthetics

world. What began as a back-bedroom business in 2020

has since evolved into a nationally recognised clinic brand—

one that’s not only drawing celebrity clients like designer

Bradley Sharpe but is also flying the UK flag on global

competition stages.

Stacey’s journey officially took off post-lockdown. Armed

with pre-lockdown training and intensive 1-to-1 tuition

during the pandemic, she didn’t wait for doors to open—she

built the buzz herself. Through consistent Facebook

updates showcasing her module work, she became fully

booked three months in advance, setting the tone for what

was to come.

Fast forward to 2023, Stacey earned the coveted title of

Hairstroke PMU Artist of the Year and became a finalist for

both Boy Brows and PMU Brows of the Year at the

prestigious Brow Awards. In 2024, she proudly represented

Infinity Aqua Drops for The Brow Geek’s Brow Goddess

and even took to the stage to present the Ombré Award—

an honour she shared with fellow industry star, Abi of Kent

Cosmedics.

But perhaps her proudest achievement to date: Stacey

recently secured 2nd place at The Browista Championship,

advancing her to the semi-finals for Brow Lamination. On

22nd September, she’ll perform live in London, with the

chance to become a global finalist in the Netherlands. A

monumental moment for someone who once dreamt of her

own clinic and now finds herself representing the UK on an

international stage.

Her artistry is rooted in natural enhancements—signature

techniques that bring out the best in her clients while

staying true to their individuality. She proudly works from

The White House Clinic in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, and

regularly pops up at Ours Creative Studio in Wakefield,

where her national clientele eagerly awaits her.

A passionate creative at heart,

Stacey credits her school days spent

loving art as the foundation of her

brow mastery.

“I never imagined I’d be using it to my

full potential throughout my career,”

she shares.

Now, at 40, having just bought her

own home and building a business

she hopes makes her daughters

proud, Stacey reflects with deep

gratitude on how far she’s come—

and what’s still to come.

The Locs Smith

Ltd & Skin Shop's

Pioneering Approach to

Scalp Health

In partnership with the Skin Shop’s innovative Juniper & Oregon

Anti-Plaque Shampoo Range, The Locs Smith Ltd is championing

scalp care and psoriasis awareness this August.

arah, a loctician and educator with 13 years’ experience with

locs, emphasises the importance of gentle, tension-free

styling and scalp care. Her collaboration with Skin Shop has

led to the creation of this healing, vegan-friendly range that

harnesses juniper, Oregon pine, and OGR to calm inflamed scalps

naturally.

This month (Psoriasis Awareness Month), we celebrate natural solutions that promote scalp health and confidence.

Whether managing psoriasis or simply caring for sensitive scalps, these products offer effective, everyday relief.

“Caring for Afro hair requires precision and

patience,” Sarah explains. “But equally

important is protecting the scalp, especially

for those dealing with conditions like

psoriasis. My goal is to create a safe space

where clients feel heard and cared for.”

Psoriasis affects around 1.8 million people in

the UK, 2-3% of the population, causing red,

scaly, itchy plaques. Dermatologist Dr. Eva

Melegh explains it’s an immune-mediated

condition with overproduction of skin cells,

leading to inflammation and discomfort.

A natural remedy gaining recognition is Oregon Grape Root (OGR),

used for over a decade by thousands. Clinical studies show OGR

reduces skin cell proliferation and modulates immune response,

helping alleviate symptoms like redness, scaling, and itching. Many

users, including Sarah—founder of The Locs Smith Ltd—have

experienced significant relief from products containing OGR, with no

adverse effects.
