Why this shape

A soft beauty resume with your photo in an arch on a blush page, beside a Cormorant Garamond name. Your italic title, two contact lines and a short summary sit beside the arch, and two sage sprigs are drawn on the page. Below, a side column lists your services, languages, certificates and training, and the wider column holds your experience. The design fixes the arch: you can add, replace or switch off the photo, and with it off the arch shows your initials.

How it reads

  1. 01
    An arch photo frame with a tinted arch behind it, fixed by the design
  2. 02
    A Cormorant Garamond name with sage sprigs
  3. 03
    A side column for services, languages and training

Best for

  • Makeup artists, hair stylists, estheticians and spa therapists
  • Beauty, fashion and modelling work where a photo is expected

List services you can deliver today

Put one service or technique per line in the side column, such as bridal, editorial or lash extensions, and add the brands you have trained on. Give each certificate its school and year. In the experience column, name the salon, studio or brand and describe the work you did; leave out a celebrity client or magazine credit you cannot show.

What this layout asks of a machine

  • Sidebar layoutSome ATS, especially older ones, read the sidebar into the main column, so skills or contact details can end up out of order. Our ATS checker flags multi-column layouts for this reason.
  • PhotoMany US and UK employers’ ATS and recruiters ignore or discard photos. Our ATS checker flags images, and flags a photo where local hiring convention discourages one. The photo is optional, so leave it out for those applications.
  • Skill graphicsSkill bars, charts and icons are graphics. An ATS cannot read the level or meaning they show, only the text beside them. Our ATS checker flags graphics for this reason.

Frequently Asked Questions

When does a beauty resume need a photo?

Salons, spas and beauty brands often ask for a photo where CV photos are customary, such as much of Europe and the Gulf, and modelling work expects one. In the US, UK, Canada and Australia, leave the photo off and point to a portfolio link instead. When a retailer or hotel group wants an upload through its careers site, send the plain ATS PDF from the editor’s download menu.

Can I change the arch to a circle?

No. Aurora’s arch, and the tinted arch behind it, are drawn into the page. Upload, swap or hide the photo; the arch shows your initials while it is hidden.
