As the hairdressing industry gets back on its feet, the Freelance Hairdressers Association is continuing its support for the sector with a host of new online education opportunities.

Lockdown

The FHA used Zoom for regular meetings and education sessions throughout lockdown, with guest experts providing training to keep members inspired and engaged during the enforced industry shutdown.

New Education Seminars

Following on from the success of these sessions, the FHA will now be hosting education seminars for its members to cover topics including colour, business and setting out alone as a freelancer. The training will be hosted by FHA educators, as well as guest sessions from sponsors Wella Professionals and business coach, John Huscroft. 

Essential Education

FHA Founder Sheila Abrahams says: “Education is part and parcel of FHA membership and that didn’t change during lockdown – we just moved it online! This new format has been a huge success with our members and actually makes training even more accessible to everyone. We’re excited to continue this momentum throughout the remainder of 2020 with the essential education our members need to grow and thrive – and we’ve got even more to come.”
