What Members are saying about the FHA…

Rita Laurella

So looking forward to next year. For those of you who missed it put the date in your diary for next year. Such a great event. Start saving!

Suzanne Hale

Thank you for a fab day my first time and looking forward to next year

Lisa Curtis

It takes away the feeling of being isolated. The staff chatroom has given me confidence in areas of hairdressing I would find a challenge, by receiving support and advice from others. I don’t know what I would do without the staff chat room now.

Jacqui Byrne

Salon life a click away, great fun and lots and lots of advice and support. No better place than the FHA.

Michelle Stimson

It’s great having a virtual staff room, feeling that although you mainly work alone & out in the community, you’re not on your own. Although I’ve not managed to take advantage of the courses on offer due to distance & confidence, I still feel I gain in knowledge from other members. It’s brilliant having people to bounce ideas off, get issues off your chest or moreover to support & nurture you along the way!

Louisa Dumbrell

Feels like your part of a salon. Fully supported, professional. Staff room chat not only helps with any issues. I have learned loads too.
