How to Start a Home Spa Business in the UK (Even If You're a Beginner)

Step-by-step guide for starting your own spa at home — from skills to legal setup and digital branding.

The beauty industry in the UK is thriving, and home spa businesses are on the rise. If you’re passionate about skincare and want to turn it into income, here’s how to begin.

Step 1: Learn the Skills Enroll in an online skincare course or beauty training program. Look for CPD-certified or OFQUAL-recognized courses. Focus on skincare basics, facials, LED therapy, and consultation techniques.

Step 2: Set Up Your Space Create a clean, calm environment. Invest in basic equipment: facial steamer, LED mask, towels, storage. You don’t need a salon — just a dedicated, hygienic corner.

Step 3: Register Your Business Check local regulations. In the UK, register as a sole trader or limited company. Consider insurance and health & safety training.

Step 4: Build Your Brand Online Use Instagram and TikTok to showcase treatments. Build trust with educational content. A simple website via Wix or Squarespace can help with bookings.

Step 5: Grow with Intention Use client feedback, continue learning, and consider joining a beauty business coaching group to scale strategically.
