Compare course tracks, fees, kit policies and real OJT support. One form → multiple institutes.
Why train as a Beautician in Pune?
Pune has strong demand across premium neighbourhood salons (Koregaon Park, Kalyani Nagar, Viman Nagar), student & high-street pockets (FC Road, JM Road, Deccan, Shivajinagar), and IT corridors (Hinjawadi, Wakad, Baner, Aundh, Kharadi, Magarpatta, Hadapsar). That mix helps you get model practice, learn client handling, and build speed on real services.
- Starter roles: Beautician Trainee, Assistant Hair Stylist, Junior Makeup Artist, Skin Care Technician, Nail Trainee, Spa Assistant
- What fuels demand: weddings + parties, corporate grooming in IT parks, college fests, influencer shoots, hospitality + wellness
- What good institutes teach: hygiene/SOPs, client consultation, skin & hair basics, makeup fundamentals, retail selling, and salon etiquette
- Real growth path: assistant → junior → specialist (hair/color/skin/bridal/nails) → senior + trainer/manager OR freelance bridal
Tip: Prefer academies that show hands-on hours, kit + consumables policy, and a clear definition of “placement support” (walk-ins, interview scheduling, apprenticeship tie-ups)—not “guarantees”.
Fee range (Pune • 2026)
Certificate (1–4 months): typically ₹15,000–₹60,000.

- Fees vary by kit size, brands used, trainer profile, batch size, and model/practical exposure.
- Ask if kit + consumables are included, and what refills cost during practice.
- Confirm assessments/certifications, internship facilitation, and any “placement support” scope.
- Always collect a written note on refunds/deferrals and kit return policy (if any).
These are indicative market ranges for Pune/PCMC in 2026. Get a written breakup before paying.
Upcoming intakes
- Many Pune academies run monthly or 4–6 week batch starts (weekday/evening/weekend).
- Bridal-focused cohorts often open ahead of peak seasons: Sep–Nov and Jan–Feb.

FAQs — Beautician & Cosmetology Courses in Pune (2026)
What is the minimum eligibility for most Pune beautician courses?
Most entry-level beautician courses accept 10th pass learners. Some advanced diplomas prefer 12th pass. Age is commonly 16+ (varies by academy).
What does “Beauty Therapist (BWS/Q0102)” usually include?
Typical coverage includes hygiene and consultation, skin analysis & facials, hair removal, manicure/pedicure, basic makeup, safe tool handling and aftercare. Ask the academy for the exact module list and practical hours.
Is any licence legally required to work as a beautician?
For the job role itself, many training standards list licensing as “not applicable”. Salons, however, may need local trade/health permissions depending on PMC/PCMC rules. Verify before opening your own setup.
Do Pune academies provide internships or apprenticeships?
Many centres support internships or salon-floor exposure. Some salons also take apprentices under government apprenticeship schemes. Always ask: duration, stipend (if any), working hours, weekly off, and what happens after completion.
How do I choose between Beautician, Hair, Makeup, Nails, and Spa tracks?
If you’re starting out, choose a foundation beautician track first, then specialise. Hair and bridal makeup often need strong practice and portfolio building. Nails and spa can be faster to monetize if you find a high-footfall locality.
What should I ask about kits and consumables before paying?
Get a written breakup: tuition, kit items, consumables per session, refills, model charges (if any), exams, and salon internship support. Confirm refund/deferral and whether the kit is yours to keep.
Is “placement guaranteed” real?
Avoid guarantees. Ask what “placement support” actually means: interview scheduling, walk-ins, chain salon tie-ups, minimum attendance requirement, and whether you must clear practical assessments.
What documents do I typically need for admission?
Aadhaar, photo, education proof (10th/12th), and basic payment proof. If joining a salon later, PAN/bank details help for onboarding and salary payments.
How can I verify an academy’s credibility quickly?
Ask for: trainer profile, batch size, hands-on hours, hygiene SOPs, kit brands, past student work, internship letters, and the exact certificate name/standard code (if they claim SSC alignment).
What’s the fastest way to start earning in Pune after training?
Start with salon assistant/junior roles for speed + practice, while building a small portfolio for party/bridal looks on weekends. Keep a WhatsApp catalogue of your work and clear pricing packages.
