Beautician jobs in India: training, licences and what to ask

Updated 4 November 2026

Beauticians in India work in salons, spas and fitness clubs, and the costs that matter most at the start are training and licences. A basic beautician course costs about ₹30,000 to ₹80,000, and an advanced course ₹80,000 to ₹2,00,000, according to course listings for November 2026. To find a beautician for your venue, or to find a job yourself, describe the role on BlaBlaPrice.

Licence for a beauty parlour

A beauty parlour licence in India ranges from ₹500 to ₹5,000, and the fee depends on the city and the size of the premises. Tier 1 cities such as Mumbai usually sit at the top of that range, according to one licence guide. Trade licence fees for salons are set by category and are partly charged per square metre of the premises, so ask the employer for the floor area before you apply.

Hot climate and working hours

The climate is tropical: hot all year, with a wet season and a dry season instead of winter and summer. Because the hot months are long, ask about air conditioning in the treatment rooms, breaks during long shifts and how the schedule works in the wet season, when clients may book less at short notice.

Training and certificates

Ask which treatments the course covers and whether it is an advanced or basic programme, because the fees differ a lot between the two. A certificate matters most when it is recognised by the employer, so check that the course matches the treatments the salon offers, such as facials, waxing, hair or nail services.

What to write in the request

Give the treatments you offer or need, the type of venue (salon, spa or fitness club), the schedule, the pay you can offer or expect in rupees, the work experience, any certificate you hold and the city. A complete request lets sellers reply with the terms that matter to you.

Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice receive the request and reply in the chat with their own offer, including terms.
