The Power of Mindset & Visioning with Salon Education Journal
In the Salon Education Journals first edition I wrote an article about the power of Mindset and Visioning with an activity to support your visualisation of a successful future. Here I’ve recorded the prompts to help you explore the outcomes with guided questioning. Enjoy.

Beauty & The Business Beast- Amy Lewis @ Mooeys
Amy is a trained and qualified beauty therapist with many years of experience in all aspects of the beauty industry. She has worked on cruise ships, managed beauty spas and worked with global companies setting up their spas and salons.
The Mooeys concept was initially created around Amy’s favourite treatments to do: nails and waxing. Listen to the episode to hear the full story!
She wanted to create an experience for clients, in fun and funky surroundings that feel different yet homely. Any soon expanded through franchise. Mooeys is a safe place for all clients to feel comfortable and have some time for themselves. The perfect non-judgemental space for all to enjoy.
All of this is combined with exceptional treatments, Mooeys very own wax and product range AND a training course in pregnancy waxing and advanced waxing techniques. Is there nothing that this passionate therapist can’t do!?
Beauty & The Business Beast - Chris Foster aka The Profile Guy
Chris Foster is a profile coach, consultant and speaker. He specialises in career development for (mostly) hair professionals. Chris has realised a new way to create and build an iconic industry profile and he is passionate about sharing that formula with others. He discovered a different approach to uncovering money and influence within the hair industry that almost everyone had overlooked. It created such an abundant flow of brilliant opportunities, he had people begging him to teach them his skills. Chris was asked by A-list celebrities to cut their hair -literally flying him around the world, the amazing thing was, he could name his price. It was a dream come true.
Chris finally understood the WHY and the HOW of how to be on top of the game. The problem is that most hair pros are either doing the wrong thing to get the best paying opportunities OR they are doing the right things in the wrong order. That's how the Elite Profile Academy, The Profile Guy and Hair Academy In A Box got started. Check out his websites for more info or follow Chris on Instagram: theprofile.guy
We had an absolute blast recording this episode- enjoy!
I reference a quote from Richard Branson in this recording and here's the accurate version; "Train people well enough so they can leave, treat them well enough so they wont want to"

Beauty & The Business Beast - Ria Jaine Accounting for Beauty
Fast forward to today and she is qualified, award winning, insured and confident enough to choose the right niche and put her business model out there. Qualified in beauty; RiaJaine loves to lash or create pretty nails but her passion for numbers and accounting is still strong. During beauty training, she came across a lot of people who were unsure of the whole process in setting up as a freelance nail tech or lash artist etc. A few didn’t know that they needed to sign up for self-assessment or that they could claim tax relief on certain items of expenditure. So RiaJaine began keeping contact with people she met in training began the best of both worlds… Accounting for Beauty.

Beauty & The Business Beast - Hilary Hall- National Hair & Beauty Federation (NHBF)
Our inaugural podcast simply had to be a legend of the industry.... and Hilary Hall from the NHBF really fits the bill.
The National Hair & Beauty Federation (formerly NHF) was founded in 1942 and has been supporting the hair and beauty industry with all things business and legal for almost eight decades!
The NHBF is a membership organisation; a bonafide independent, not for profit, trade association who support our industry exclusively. They have been leading the coronavirus recovery effort as a representative and advisor throughout; alongside 4 other bodies. This is not new activity; they have been lobbying support for government changes around VAT and NMW increases for years. But Covid has really provided a platform for their exposure; Hilary has been interviewed on almost every news channel and radio station and thousands of hairdressers, beauticians and technicians have been glued to their social updates after every Boris briefing.
We tied Hilary down to talk more broadly about her predictions for the industry, her 'one wish' for salon professionals and why her husband gives such good business advice! (30mins)
