Beauty therapist cover letter example
A strong beauty therapist cover letter names your qualification and the treatments you carry out, then gives one real example of how you looked after a client. It should also show that you work safely with patch tests, consent forms and cleaning between treatments.

Willow Beauty Rooms
Dear Ms Okafor,
I am applying for the Beauty Therapist role at Willow Beauty Rooms advertised on your website. I have an NVQ Level 3 in Beauty Therapy and three years of experience in a salon and day spa, where I carry out facials, waxing, brow and lash treatments and manicures.
Some clients arrive nervous, especially for a first wax or facial. I talk them through each step, check consent and patch tests carefully, and stop to make sure they are comfortable. One client who had avoided treatments for years now books a facial with me every month. I also turn rooms around carefully between clients so each one starts in a clean, calm space.
I would like to work at Willow Beauty Rooms because your treatment menu is focused and your reviews mention how relaxed the rooms feel, which is the atmosphere I like to create. I can work weekdays, Saturdays and some evenings, and I am happy to recommend products when they suit the client.
I would be pleased to come in for a trial treatment or an interview. Thank you for considering my application.
Yours sincerely,
Niamh Gallagher
Tips for a beauty therapist cover letter
- Name your qualification and level in the first paragraph, such as NVQ Level 3 in Beauty Therapy
- List the treatments you do that match the salon's menu, rather than every treatment you have ever done
- Give one example of caring for a nervous or first-time client, because this is what salons want to see
- Mention patch tests, consent forms and cleaning between clients to show that you work safely
- Say when you can work, including Saturdays and evenings
