Introduction

Hello, I’m Monica and I started my career as a “mobile beauty therapist” and owned my own salon offering a variety of beauty treatments before going on to teach beauty and complementary therapy at Coleg Sir Gar .

I am a Welsh speaking member of staff and I have worked in the college for the past 14 years, where I am also co-ordinator for Wales and UK SKills competitions.

Hi I am Tracy I have been in the Hair and Beauty industry for 19 years now, I did my training at coleg sir gar, Then went to various salons untaking Hairdressing and Beauty Therapy treatments I have worked all over llanelli and swansea as I liked to gain as much experience as I possibly could in the industry with taking additional courses along the way like reflexology, Clients have also followed me over the years which have become my regular clients this has enabled me to become mobile where I would perform treatments in their homes, I then decided I would like to teach others my skills so became a Lecturer at coleg sir gar in Hair and Beauty I have been teaching here for the last 8 years and really enjoy what I do as I perform practical sessions showing others how treatments are performed in bite size pieces, To enable good working practice.

I have recently done more courses/ Training such as fillers where this treatment has been added on to my existing treatments and looking to do more, I am always trying to up-skill as there are always new treatments that come on the market and you can never stop learning, I love what I do and always want to progress further in the industry. That's the good thing about Beauty Therapy there are so many avenues that you could follow to salon based, own boss, cruise ships, the world is your oyster!!
