These professionals can study esthetics or cosmetology or enrol in a program specific to their field of interest to learn the skills. In Greece, however, these services are not regulated, so practitioners can work in the beauty industry without a license.

Nail Technician

Nail techs can also practice in the country free of any license. They can do nail art, manicures and pedicures, nail extensions and more.

Massage Therapist

Massage therapists can choose their training to get certified. They are not regulated, so a license is not required.
