2021 has been a year when beauty therapists are in big demand (yet again).

Why is this?

This is because beauty salon clients want to look and feel good.

Post lockdown, people can decide what to do with their time and money, without any restrictions.  It’s been shown they are continuing to invest in beauty treatments.

Salons everywhere, especially in London have seen demand soar to unprecedented levels in 2021 as looking good and feeling beautiful, becomes even more important to people after the sacrifices of lockdowns.

With the travel industry opening up again, many beauty salon clients are now planning their treatments for the Christmas holidays.

Some well organised clients are already considering what beauty treatments will be required for the Summer holidays and salons are preparing their staff requirements accordingly for this busy time.

FROM BEHIND THE HAIR AND BEAUTY DESK
MAY 25TH 2020.

Hi Hair and Beauty world!

This week has offered less activity in the domain of hair and beauty recruitment but there have been some strong, positive interactions with hair and beauty salon owners. The general overview from these conversations –

  • Salon owners feel confident the footfall will return and customer retention will be high.
  • The salon owners are taking practical, pragmatic measures within the work space to ensure the safety of their staff and their clients.
  • They are in regular contact with their hair and beauty clients and their hair and beauty staff.
  • They are constantly monitoring government and industry guidelines.
  • Longer hours, split shifts, opening 7 days per week are options being considered.
  • They are taking active measures to prepare their hair and beauty team for reopening.
  • Most plan to open hair and beauty columns around mid June for a July 4 start.
    The overwhelming sense I am left with after each and every conversation with a hair and beauty salon owner, barbershop owner or medi clinic owner is one of responsible action and staff/ client safety being of absolute paramount importance, despite the financial pressure this crisis has imposed on them.
    Hair styling, hair cutting, hair colouring services and every beauty service will be as good as pre lockdown for sure and the feel of the experience may be dramatically different but I can say with confidence, this industry is stepping up!

Be well, stay safe.

From Behind The Hair and Beauty Recruitment Desk At Rose Hadley London

 May 18 2020

Hi Hair and Beauty world!

We’ve got maybe 6/7 weeks before the finger is taken off the pause button and I thought I’d share a weekly post leading up to ‘operation restart’.

Three weeks ago, I was super worried about what kind of hair and beauty recruitment business I would be opening back up, but last week saw a shift in energy and the signs from behind the desk are looking increasingly positive on a daily basis and I wanted to share, offer a reality check and reach out with some encouraging news. Don’t get me wrong, there are challenges ahead, but the early signs are looking good.

A recent survey found that a hair salon appointment was among the top three things people are most excited about when the pause button is released.  This is reassuring indeed (did you see the reports evidencing the queues for haircuts in New Zealand?)!

Last week I received many calls from hair salon owners, all asking similar questions –

  1. Will you be there for us when we reopen?

Answer: 100% yes!

2. Will you have enough hair/beauty temps to support us?

Answer: 100% yes!

  There were also calls from hair and beauty talent, again, all asking similar questions –

  1. We know the industry is closed right now, but can we register a CV in anticipation of the restart.

Answer: 100% yes you can!

2. How do you think the hair and beauty job market will be? Will there be temp jobs?

Answer:  The permanent job market may take a while to get going but we expect there to be a demand for hair and beauty temps as hair and beauty salons open their doors and the industry steps on the path to recovery.

For sure the hair and beauty salon experience will be different for both clients and staff, but even with a 6/7 week lead time, energy and momentum is beginning to brew.

Next update will be on May 25. Be well, stay safe .
