Hi,

From what I have found out - fully qualified - you would earn around 600 cypriot pounds - that would be about £750.00 - not sure what this would be in euros - not as much as what you would earn in the UK, but the lifestyle and the lower cost of living would make up for that. Beauty work is not particularly well paid, but it does depend on where you work. If you want as much money as possible get your partner to try one of the big hotels.

I lived there for a year in 2005, I didnt work but my girlfriend did, she is also a beauty therapist, she worked at the Islands best hotel, the Anassa. They did pay aprticularly well, from what I can remember she got paid more thatn what she did in the uk, about £950-1000 a month.

If she works at a hotel like this, the guests tend to give great tips - the hotel is used by the rich and celebrities. Its about a 30min drive from Paphos just outside a small village called Prodromi, google it !

Me and my girlfriend are going to be moving back to Cyrpus early next year, in short the wages are not as good as in the UK but the other benefits of the med lifestyle make up for it in my book (weather and cheaper living cost for a start). You may find it a little hard to start off with but its well worth a go.

Good Luck !
