FAQs — Beautician & Cosmetology Courses in Hyderabad (2026)
What’s the minimum eligibility to start a beautician course?
Most academies accept 10th pass and age 16+ (some prefer 18+). Diplomas and advanced tracks may prefer 12th. If you’re unsure, choose “Not sure yet” in the eligibility modal — we’ll route you to centres that match your profile.
Is NSDC / B&WSSC certification mandatory for salon jobs?
Not mandatory for most entry roles, but recognised certification helps with structured skills + interviews. Ask the institute which QP/standard they map to (and what assessment you’ll actually complete).
What is typically covered in the Beauty Therapist curriculum?
Core modules usually include client consultation, skin analysis, facials/cleanup, hair removal, manicure/pedicure, basic makeup services, hygiene, tool handling and salon SOPs. Ask for hands-on hours + model practice schedule.
How long do courses take in Hyderabad?
Certificates are often 1–4 months, diplomas 6–12 months, and bridal/hair workshops 3–15 days. Real outcomes depend on practice hours + consistency, not just duration.
Are kits included in fees?
Sometimes partly. Many centres charge separately for kit/consumables or upgrades. Always ask for a written breakup: tuition, kit items list, refill costs, model practice materials, and exam/certification fees (if any).
Do institutes provide internships or salon floor training?
Some do (tie-ups/own salon floor), some don’t. Ask: (1) where OJT happens, (2) minimum hours, (3) whether client handling is supervised, and (4) whether you get a completion letter mentioning practical hours.
Are apprenticeships / stipends possible in salons?
Yes — some salons use apprenticeship routes, but stipend amounts and paperwork vary. Verify in writing and confirm whether the employer is registered on applicable apprenticeship portals (if they claim so).
What working hours and weekly off are common?
Salon shifts vary by employer and season. Always ask for shift timings and weekly off policy in writing during onboarding. In general, shops & establishments rules require weekly holidays and display of notices (employer compliance varies).
What documents are usually needed for admission or joining a job?
Commonly: Aadhaar, marksheet (10th/12th), 2 photos, bank details. If a salon offers PF/EPF, you may need UAN-related steps as per current EPFO process (keep your mobile number active for OTPs).
Do I need any licence to open a salon in Hyderabad (GHMC)?
Within GHMC limits, businesses typically need a Trade License. Apply via official GHMC trade portal and follow the required documents/fee steps for your business type.
What salary can a fresher expect in Hyderabad?
Fresher earnings vary by locality, role and commission/tips structure. Use state minimum wage notifications as a reference point, and confirm your offer breakup (fixed + commission + incentives) before joining.
