Disheartened by the difficulties faced by many beauty businesses as a result a result of the pandemic, Founder of The Silver Fern Group, Haylee Benton has launched free mentorship scheme for salon owners, in the quest to bring them back from the brink.
With her experience in turning struggling beauty businesses into financial successes, Haylee says, “it’s been a hugely difficult year for hair and beauty salons that have faced months of closures followed by further uncertainty as a result of ever-changing lockdown restrictions. As a beauty business owner myself, I understand the challenges of owning a salon – from problems with cash flow, to staffing, ever rising rents and dips in bookings. Many business owners have spent their bounce back loans and don’t know what to do next. I’m passionate about the industry and want to share my expertise to ensure that salon owners can feel positive moving forward and ensure success in 2021.”
Haylee will be offering once a month opportunities for mentorship from January – salon owners should visit hayleebenton.com to apply
The Hair and Beauty Charity are still working to support those that need their help. They have had just over £250,000 donated recently from professional beauty expert, Caroline Hirons and the Beauty Backed campaign. They have funds available for those people who do need their help; ask them if you need support.
They are a small charity and have to prioritise assistance to those who need it most urgently. Priority will be given to households where only one adult (working within the industry) provides the only income to the household (e.g. if you live with your partner who will still receive an ‘employed wage’, priority will be given to single parent families whose only income is dependent on their hair/beauty industry wage). Visit their website for more information and to make an application.
