ช่างเสริมสวย

Explanation

The word combines ช่าง, “a skilled worker or specialist,” with เสริมสวย, “to enhance someone’s beauty.” Its literal image is therefore a professional who helps make people look more attractive. It can refer to a person of any gender. The classifier for counting beauticians is คน, as in ช่างเสริมสวยสองคน, “two beauticians.”

Usage

It is commonly used when stating someone’s occupation, referring to a salon professional, or advertising a salon job. Common patterns include เป็นช่างเสริมสวย, “to be a beautician,” and รับสมัครช่างเสริมสวย, “to hire/recruit beauticians.”

Caution

This word refers to a person, not a salon. Use ร้านเสริมสวย or ร้านทำผม for the business or premises. For a more specific profession, use ช่างทำผม for a hairstylist, ช่างแต่งหน้า for a makeup artist, or ช่างทำเล็บ for a nail technician.
