HOB Salons<br />
A BETTER YOU<br />
GO BACK TO SCHOOL<br />
Whether you choose education or a fresh opportunity<br />
with another salon, <strong>2018</strong> is the year to better<br />
yourself… and there are plenty of chances to do just<br />
that. No time to leave the salon and hit a classroom?<br />
Head online to Access by L’Oréal Professionnel<br />
(lorealaccess.com/uk). Access is the brand’s all-new<br />
online learning hub that allows you to learn whenever<br />
you want, wherever you are. Access enables you to<br />
learn at a place and time that is convenient for you<br />
and it’s available to all salons!<br />
If you do have time to leave the salon, you must<br />
visit the new RUSH Academy in London’s Covent<br />
Garden. And if you’re looking to open your horizons<br />
and experience new opportunities – from franchising<br />
to stage work – but you want the support of a<br />
successful group behind you, HOB Salons is on the<br />
look out for talented individuals.<br />
TAKING THE INDUSTRY SERIOUSLY…<br />
Despite contributing a cool £17 billion a year<br />
to the British economy, there has been no<br />
comprehensive representation of the specific<br />
needs and voices of the beauty industry.<br />
As a result, we are an industry that is still<br />
not taken seriously, and which is facing the<br />
biggest recruitment crisis in its history.<br />
Now a team of high-profile industry<br />
figures has established the British Beauty<br />
Council, with the aim of ensuring the beauty<br />
industry and its innovation, reputation and<br />
education can be recognised and valued at<br />
all levels: in government, through the wider<br />
economy and by consumers.<br />
Spearheaded by BeautyMART’s Millie<br />
Kendall MBE and Anna-Marie Solowij,<br />
alongside beauty journalist Kate Shapland,<br />
the British Beauty Council board includes<br />
Talk PR chief executive Jane Boardman,<br />
<strong>Creative</strong> <strong>HEAD</strong> publisher Catherine<br />
Handcock and This Works founder Kathy<br />
Phillips, supported by expert-led groups<br />
representing all sectors.<br />
“Our priority in <strong>2018</strong> is to improve the<br />
reputation of the beauty industry as a<br />
profession, ensuring we attract a steady<br />
stream of high-quality candidates in the<br />
future,” says Catherine Handcock.<br />
