Regulated Beauty Services in Cyprus

Facialist / Waxing Technician

Facialists and waxing techs are considered estheticians in the country. They are required to hold a membership certificate from a recognised association and must hold a qualification for esthetics from a recognised training program by KYSATS (Cyprus Council for the Recognition of Study Titles) or have a degree in esthetics for 3 years from a certified school.

Makeup Artist / Nail Technician

Makeup artists and nail techs are under the scope of the beauty assistant license. Beauty assistants in Cyprus must have a diploma in esthetics with a minimum of 2 years training from a certified school.

Hairstylist / Barber

Hairstylists and barbers are also regulated in the country. To gain the required qualifications, aspirants must hold a diploma in hairdressing or barbering from a recognised vocational school with a minimum of 2 years training and must have 2 years work experience as a hairstylist or 1 year work experience as a barber.

Professionals who don’t hold a diploma can be registered in the country if they have 5 years work experience as a hairstylist or 4 years work experience as a barber.
