Beauty Training in South Africa
South African beauty and cosmetology qualifications are typically set through sector education and training authorities (SETAs) and delivered by accredited colleges. There is no single blanket personal license required to practice most beauty services nationally, though salon business registration and specific municipal health requirements can apply depending on the city and the treatment offered.
This is a general overview, not legal advice. Always confirm current rules with your local regulator before offering paid services. Our courses are online and available to students anywhere in South Africa.
