You know you're in safe hands...

BABTAC (the British Association of Beauty Therapy & Cosmetology) has been the professional face of beauty and holistic therapy for over 30 years. It is the premier UK association for beauticians and therapists and is widely recognised as one of the longest standing and most influential bodies for the industry.

Formed in 1977 and currently based in Gloucester, the Association is a non-profit making and democratic organisation run by a Council proposed and elected by the membership. On application, potential members' qualifications are vetted to ensure they meet with national/international requirements, and all work to a rigorous code of ethics and accepted good practices - both in terms of the treatments and therapies they offer and the way they conduct their relationships with their clients.

The BABTAC badge is the sign of confidence. Whenever our certificate and treatment list appear, the public is assured that their therapist is a qualified professional committed to excellence in their field and their continuing development as professionals.
