Q&A
Why is it so important to Allilon Education to sponsor the Education Expert category?
As an education company ourselves, we know how important and how hard it is to share education, so for us, sponsoring Most Wanted Education Expert is really valuable. We really believe the more support we can all do, and the more we can get behind each other as a community, the stronger the industry’s going to be. That’s the reason why us, at Allilon, love sponsoring this award.
Tell us about AllilonPlus and how it supports hair professionals
AllilonPlus is an online education platform. It contains a whole array of cutting, colouring, dressing, and styling videos. Now, what’s its purpose? Originally it was purely a video streaming site, with over 300 videos as a catalogue. Since then, we’ve tried to identify a problem, that AllilonPlus is designed to solve.
We’re lucky as a team that we get to travel the world and share our passion with a lot of people and one of the patterns we see is that people don’t always have the tools to be able to create education systems for salons. For example, if you are a salon owner, you can use AllilonPlus to train all your staff, to help standardise, and to take the company to a whole new level. If you’re an educator, you have a resource that you can confidently pull on, which is constantly evolving, with lots of new content all the time. And as a learner, let’s be honest, it’s very easy to get lost in all the information you’re given, this is a very streamlined version or getting you to understand, step-by-step, how to grow your education.
Think about having your own digital platform, your own digital space, where you can upload all of your work, watch loads of content and understand what it is you’re doing, to really fall in love with your craft. It’s not a replacement for physical education, it’s a complimentary tool to use alongside it.
Education, it’s the lifeblood of the industry, isn’t it? What training do you think people will be seeking the most in 2024?
Moving forward, not just in 2024, but in general, a hybrid way of learning is the key. Both virtual and physical. You can’t replace physical, the human-to-human connection takes education to the level. But, being able to access education, anytime, anywhere at any place, is the key to being able to have 24 hour learning.
COMING UP THIS YEAR
