Illustrated Beauty Therapy Dictionary

ISBN: 978-0-435449-12-4

There are many words and phrases to be learnt that are both technical and difficult to pronounce but are an essential part of the knowledge required to reinforce practical skills in beauty spa and holistic therapies. It is also important to pronounce the words correctly to sound professional and authoritative and to spell them correctly for written assessment.

This books provides a comprehensive list of all the terms used in beauty therapy, anatomy and physiology, health and safety and business terminology, for all awarding bodies. It contains simple definitions that are easy to understand and in some cases a more detailed description with accompanying diagram. It will help your understanding of the technical information, whilst providing a quick source of reference and a valuable resource for revision.

It is a useful tool for beauty, spa and holistic therapists at levels 1, 2 and 3 and also includes a definition of terms used in assessments, to help you understand the instructions for practical assessment, assignments and portfolio building.

Each word or definition has its own pronunciation guide making the more difficult words easier to say.

Finally there is an appendix containing full colour diagrams and charts to provide easy access to essential anatomy and physiology information, relating to each skill area.
