THIS MONTH WE ASKED YOU…

What’s the top criteria when choosing a new product brand for your salon?

Guest blog: where have all the good therapists gone?

Amy Lord commented: “Absolutely spot on. The college courses are not preparing therapists for the modern beauty industry. The time it takes to nurture and train them to the standard needed can be a real challenge for a busy working salon. The qualifications desperately need to move with the times.”

Jenny Larkin commented: “Echoes everything I’ve been saying for years. This is a crisis of epidemic proportions. We need to come together on this one – this is the tip of the iceberg.”

Charlotte Watson commented: “This is such an interesting article. I teach in a college and I also teach fast-track courses, and I see the pros and cons for both. I always feel my job is to teach to the highest standards alongside my students being ready for work in the industry, whether that’s in a spa, salon or setting up their own businesses. The structure and standards are archaic and there isn’t a lot of time given to being industry-ready due to this.”
