What FHA Members Say…
I am new to the freelance world and also the FHA! I have only been a member for a few weeks but I am so glad i joined! What a wonderful, supportive community! Thank you everyone!
Had a great day at Inspire … so lovely to get back together again! Even though I went on my own, everyone was really friendly!Picked up loads of tips from Jordanna and
Emily … loved their presentations!
“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.”
Being a member Of the FHA is a no brainer for me. Not only do I have the support and a whole host Of benefits with the membership but I have also made friends for life!
Being freelance can sometimes feel extremely overwhelming but the community is fantastic and I never feel alone! There is always someone to turn to!
“Feels like your part of a salon. Fully supported, professional. Staff room chat not only helps with any issues. I have learned loads too.”
I want to say a huge thank you to all at the FHA – especially through the good Old lock downs, with all the fab training! It’s an amazing place full of so many talented people.
Sheila Abrahams, you are an amazing human being and this group is so lucky to have you!
“Being able to go it alone but still having the benefits of being in a salon. Staff room chat is the best thing for me as I haven’t been able to make it to a lot of the training lately as I babysit my granddaughters when I’m not working!”
The FHA has been a god send over the last gear. I decided to take the plunge and go freelance at the beginning of the year. Safe to say it didn’t get off to a great start, however, someone recommended the FHA and the support and advice from the FHA and the members has been amazing! I will be eternally grateful for everything they have done!
“I love knowing advice is only a click away.”
When I first went freelance I was at a total loss, I didn’t know who to turn to. Then
someone suggested the FHA and I haven’t looked back since. Thank you for all the
support.
FHA Inspire was amazing!! It was so nice to be back together in person again, thank you for a fantastic day Sheila!
Today I learnt that I truly am not alone! I had a problem that I wanted to discuss with others and I turned to the FHA Staff Room Chat and was immediately made to feel at ease! A problem shared is a problem halved they say!
I honestly think I would be lost without the FHA! The support has been fantastic and I
always have someone to turn to. Thank you to everyone who has helped me along in my first year as a freelancer.
Being a part of the FHA community gives me that safe space I need to talk to others within the industry who know what it feels like to work alone.
I am so grateful for the ongoing education and support from the FHA. I truly am a member for life! I have made some amazing friends and cannot thank them all enough!
Thanks to Sheila and the FHA! The education, support and community is fantastic. What a great place it is to bring us all together. Thank you!
“It’s a good group to bounce ideas and problems off each other, love the chat room, and the cheaper courses.”
I joined the FHA back in April and felt so welcome. I joined the private FB Staff Room Chat and the support and advice is amazing! I am so grateful!
