What FHA Members Say…

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!

Chloe,

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

Louisa Dumbrell

“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!”

Heather King

“I love knowing advice is only a click away.”

Liz Bell

“It’s a good group to bounce ideas and problems off each other, love the chat room, and the cheaper courses.”

Sarah Hayes

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!

Josie,

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!

Tracey,

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.

Maisie,

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.

Nicky,

FHA Inspire was amazing!! It was so nice to be back together in person again, thank you for a fantastic day Sheila!

Martin,

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.

Philippa,

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!

Zara,

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!

Claire,

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!

Mary,

“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.”

Lisa Curtis

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!
