Why train as a Beautician in Delhi?
Delhi has strong salon + bridal demand across Rajouri Garden, Janakpuri/Dwarka belt, Punjabi Bagh–Pitampura–Rohini, Lajpat Nagar–South Ex–GK, Saket–Hauz Khas and Noida/Gurugram hubs. That means better chances of live client practice, faster learning of salon SOPs and more opportunities for apprenticeship/OJT.
- Weddings + festive season work (bridal, party makeup, hairstyling).
- Corporate grooming + walk-ins near commercial clusters.
- Retail counters + salon upsell (services + product knowledge).
- Beautician Trainee / Assistant Beauty Therapist
- Junior Makeup Artist / Hair Assistant
- Nail Technician (if trained hands-on)
- Hygiene, tool safety, client consultation, skin/hair basics.
- Live model practice + evaluation (not only demos).
- Internship/OJT plan with attendance + logbook discipline.
- Junior → Senior Therapist/Stylist via OJT + repeat clients.
- Bridal specialist (portfolio + referral + seasonality).
- Salon floor + sales → supervisor / manager roles.

FAQs — Beautician & Cosmetology Courses in Delhi (2026)
These answers are written to keep outcomes realistic (no fake placement promises). Use the sticky bar’s Check Eligibility to route to best-fit institutes.
What’s the minimum education needed?
Many private academies accept learners from Class 10 (and some foundation batches even earlier for basics). For BWSSC-aligned roles, Beauty Therapist (BWS/Q0102) is commonly mapped at NSQF Level 4 and Assistant Beauty Therapist (BWS/Q0101) at NSQF Level 3. Always check the institute’s exact entry rule for the specific course you’re choosing.
Is there an age requirement?
Most centres prefer 16+ (often 17–18+ for client-facing internships). If you’re younger, start with a basic/foundation module and build towards a diploma later.
What do you actually learn in a good “beautician” course?
A strong course includes: hygiene & tool safety, client consultation, skin analysis + basic facials, hair removal, manicure/pedicure, basic makeup, and salon SOPs. Better academies add live model practice, assessment, and retail/service etiquette.
How do I choose the right track: Makeup vs Hair vs Skin vs Spa vs Nails?
If you want faster entry into salon work, start with beauty therapist fundamentals + one specialization (hair or makeup). If you want bridal freelancing, prioritize makeup + hairstyling and build a portfolio early (before/after photos, reels, referrals). Nails can be a good niche only if the course includes hands-on practice and sanitation.
Are placements guaranteed after training?
No. Some academies provide placement assistance (interviews, referrals, apprenticeships), but outcomes depend on attendance, hands-on performance, communication, and the salon’s hiring needs. Treat “guarantee” language as a red flag unless it’s written with clear conditions.
What should I ask before paying fees?
Ask for a written breakup covering: tuition, kit (included/extra), consumables per session, exam/assessment fees, internship/OJT terms, and refund/deferral policy. Also ask how many live models you will practice on (not only demos).
Do I need a licence to work as a beautician in Delhi?
Individual beauticians typically do not need a separate “personal licence” to work in salons. However, salons/shops may require local registrations and trade/licence compliance (handled by the owner/management).
What are typical working hours / weekly off in Delhi salons?
Actual rosters depend on the employer, but Delhi’s Shops & Establishments framework includes a weekly rest concept and limits on daily/weekly working hours. Ask the salon during onboarding about shift timing, weekly off, and overtime policy in writing.
Can I do apprenticeship after training? Is there a stipend?
Many learners start with internship/OJT or apprenticeships depending on salon tie-ups and local openings. Stipend rules vary by program and employer; confirm the stipend amount, duration and attendance requirements before joining.
Which documents are usually needed for course joining and first job?
Typically: Aadhaar, marksheet (if available), photos, and a working phone number. For formal payroll/PF setups, employers may request PAN and bank details. Keep your phone active for OTPs and onboarding messages.
