Example

Subject: Application for the beautician position

Dear Ms Lovey,

Your beauty salon is looking for a qualified beautician at 80%. I have practised for six years and specialise in facials, which your salon is known for.

With a federal certificate as a beautician, I work at Institut Belle Rive, offering facials, hair removal, manicures, pedicures and make-up. Trained in anti-ageing radiofrequency treatments, I look after a loyal client base and generate around 20% of the salon’s revenue through product sales.

Your range of natural Swiss products and your personal approach match the way I work.

I am available from 1 March, Saturdays included, and would gladly come in for a trial day.

Kind regards,
Sarah Lovey
