Hair, Beauty & Aesthetics Training Providers — Be Found, Be Trusted
Showcase your academy and courses on a platform built to raise standards, highlight credibility, and connect you with students searching for professional, accredited training.
Education is the foundation of the hair and beauty industry. Yet the training landscape is crowded with cheap, poor-quality courses that leave students underprepared and damage the reputation of the profession. Too many trainers delivering accredited, high-quality education are overlooked, while “fast-track” options dominate search results and social media feeds.
The Hair & Beauty Directory was created to change that. We are committed to supporting credible training providers who deliver real value and raise standards across the industry. That means no unrecognised or poor-quality courses, only providers who meet professional expectations and give students the skills they need to succeed.
When you join, you get more than just a place to list your academy. You can build a dedicated profile for your training business — highlighting your qualifications, accreditations, insurance, awards, and ethos and also list your individual courses separately. This gives you double visibility, helping students find you whether they search for “accredited nail technician course,” “lash training UK,” “aesthetics training provider,” or “hairdressing course near me.”
Our platform is built with Google visibility at its core. Every profile and course is independently indexed, meaning your academy and courses can be discovered in local and international searches. Combined with our ethos of quality and professionalism, this makes The Hair & Beauty Directory the place for students to find trusted training and for trainers to stand out from the noise.
Profiles and Courses — Double the Visibility
Most training platforms only give you one option: a single profile for your academy, or a one-off course advert that disappears when the date has passed. The Hair & Beauty Directory is different. We know students search in many different ways, some look for a training provider name, others for a specific course. That’s why we give you both.
As a training provider, you can create a dedicated profile that highlights your credibility: your qualifications, accreditations, insurance, awards, teaching ethos, and professional memberships. This profile builds trust and positions you as a quality educator in the industry.
But we don’t stop there. You can also add your courses individually, each with its own page and SEO structure. This means a student searching for “accredited lash course UK,” “CPD nail technician training,” “hairdressing apprenticeship,” or “aesthetics skin training near me” can find your specific course directly through Google. Each course page can include details like entry requirements, CPD hours, accrediting body, and certification, giving students the clarity they’re looking for.
Together, your profile and course listings work as a complete package: one builds your reputation, the other captures student searches. That’s double the visibility, double the credibility, and double the chance of being chosen.

Raising Standards in Training
Not every course deserves to be promoted and not every trainer deserves to be visible.
One of the biggest problems in the beauty industry today is the rise of cheap, fast-track courses that leave students underprepared, uninsured, and misled. These courses damage the reputation of the entire industry and make it harder for genuine educators to stand out.
The Hair & Beauty Directory was created to change that. We are committed to supporting high-quality, accredited training providers who deliver real education, not shortcuts. That’s why we only accept providers who can demonstrate credibility through qualifications, insurance, accreditation, and industry experience.
By raising the bar, we protect both students and trainers. Students can trust that the providers they find here are recognised and professional, while trainers benefit from being positioned alongside other respected educators, not buried under poor-quality competition.
This isn’t just about visibility. It’s about shaping the future of education in hair, beauty, nails, lashes, spa, and aesthetics. By joining The Hair & Beauty Directory, you are part of a platform that values best practice, credibility, and progress, ensuring the next generation of professionals receive the training they deserve.
Beauty Education is Evolving
The beauty industry has transformed from a luxury into a core part of everyday life — and with that transformation comes a demand for better, more reliable education.
As services diversify and techniques grow more advanced, the training space has become crowded and confusing. Social media is full of recommendations, but not all of them are safe, accredited, or even insurable.
That’s where we come in.
We created this platform to help learners like you find training that’s:
-
✅ Transparent
-
✅ Accredited or insurable
-
✅ Delivered by educators who care about your long-term success — not just selling courses
Whether you’re just starting out or ready to expand your skills, we help you explore quality courses, avoid shortcuts, and connect with industry professionals who’ve walked the path before you.
Cut through the noise. Choose training that lasts.
We’ll help you find it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I advertise my beauty courses on The Hair & Beauty Directory?
Yes. Training providers get two levels of visibility: a profile for your academy, and the ability to list individual courses. This means students can find you whether they search for a provider name or a specific course, such as “accredited nail course,” “lash training UK,” or “aesthetics training near me.”
Do students know if my courses are accredited?
Absolutely. Accreditation and credibility are central to our platform. Your profile and courses allow you to display your accrediting body, insurance details, and entry requirements. This makes it clear to students that your training meets professional standards, while helping them avoid the poor-quality, unaccredited courses that are damaging the industry.
What types of courses can I list?
We cover the entire industry: hairdressing courses, barbering apprenticeships, nail technician training, lash and brow courses, massage and beauty therapy training, advanced aesthetics courses, and CPD for professionals. Each course has its own dedicated page, optimised for Google, so you can attract students locally and internationally.
How will my courses be found online?
Every profile and course page is independently indexed on Google. This means your training can appear in live searches such as “beauty training near me,” “hairdressing courses London,” or “cosmetology academy UK.” Unlike social media posts that vanish in days, your course listings are permanent and searchable.
Do you allow all training providers to join?
No. We only work with providers who demonstrate quality and best practice. That means showing evidence of qualifications, accreditation, and insurance. We do not promote cheap, fast-track, or unrecognised courses. This ensures that students can trust the training listed on our site and that genuine educators are not hidden among poor-quality competitors.
How much does it cost to list my training business?
Membership is £99 per year, which includes your training provider profile, the ability to add individual courses, and access to additional features like jobs, events, and classifieds (currently free until 2025). It’s a simple, low-cost way to gain visibility on Google and connect with students who are actively looking for accredited training.
