35 Beauty Therapist Questions and Answers:
Beauty Therapist Job Interview Questions Table of Contents:
1 :: Tell me what do you think of the salon's hours and the hours that you will be working?
Remember that salon's do late nights sometimes and always work on a Saturday. It's not a straight 9-5 job.
Read More2 :: What is your greatest strength as Beauty Therapist?
Talking about your strengths is definitely easier than discussing weaknesses! The trick is to tie your answer to the beauty industry and the specific job you're applying for. Know what the company prides itself on and use that in your answer. Give specific examples, including facts and figures, of a time or times you've used your strength to bolster or save a project.
Example: "Time management and organization are my greatest strengths. As a result, all my projects are completed at least five days early. At my last job, I came into a department with frequent cost overruns and project delays. By the time I left, the department had gone from losing $50,000 a year to being the most profitable unit of the company. The beauty industry recognized it last year with the RST award."

Read More6 :: Tell me some stuff about yourself?
You walk into the interview room, shake hands with your interviewer and sit down with your best interviewing smile on. Guess what their first question is? "Tell me about yourself."
Do you "wing it" and actually tell all manner of things about yourself? Will you spend the next 5 minutes rambling on about what an easy-going, loyal, dedicated, hard working employee you've been? If this is the case, you stand a good chance of having bored your interviewer to death thus creating a negative first impression.

Read More13 :: Tell us how do you keep yourself looking good?

Read More14 :: What are your favorite [name of company] products?
A key component of any interview is being familiar with the company and its products and services. If you already have natural favorites from the company, great! If not, take the time to go out, purchase a few products that appeal to you, and try them. This gives you firsthand knowledge to help inform your answer. You'll be able to provide details that Internet research can't give.
Include the following in your answer:
❀ Why these products are your favorites
❀ Any unusual ways you use them that make you stand out
❀ Where you tend to buy them
❀ Why you prefer them to competing brands
Example: "I swear by ABC crimson lipstick. I used to wear XYZ all the time, but one day ABC was on sale, so I tried it. I never went back to XYZ. The color is just more vibrant and makes me feel great. Plus it never leaves smudges and stays on all day."
