If you’ve decided to take the leap from employed to freelance hairdresser, the thought of losing the support network you had in the salon can be a daunting one. We’re not just talking the logistics – lining up your own work, managing accounts, insurance, controlling stock flow – but also having a sounding board for creative ideas, a mentor to share in new techniques and insider tip-offs on the latest innovations.
Well, this is where SELF/STYLED Sundays steps in. Bi-monthly virtual events in partnership with Aston & Fincher, dedicated to building a sense of community among self-employed and independent hairdressers. Each Sunday edition provides a curated agenda packed with advice and information, from masterclasses with leading names and brands, to panel discussions around current industry issues and interviews where fellow freelancers candidly share their stories.
We’re talking education, conversation and inspiration brought directly to you.
