Tuition fees for cosmetology courses in the UK vary by institution and program. For example, a VTCT Level 2 NVQ Diploma in Hairdressing costs around £1,995 (including all fees and materials), while more comprehensive or university-based programs may be higher.

Living expenses depend on your location and lifestyle:
- London: £1,300 - £1,800/month (accommodation, food, transport, personal expenses)
- Other UK cities: £900 - £1,400/month

Accommodation, transport, and food are typically more expensive in London. These figures are approximate and subject to change.
