COMMERCIAL SALON EXPERIENCE

EXCLUSIVE TO LSBM IN THE LSBM SALON

Students will also participate in our commercial salon* ‘LSBM Salon’ once they have built up a certain level of competency with treatments. Our salon is run by professional therapists and is open throughout the year, therefore we have a large client base for both our professional therapists and our student therapists.

* Although the ‘normal’ study hours are 9am–5pm, you will also be required to practice your treatments in our student salon on a fairly regular basis, which will include late nights. In the case of late nights, time off in lieu is granted, usually by means of a later start time.
