Welcome
You’re doing great. Really you are. And this issue only goes to prove what a vital role you play in your clients’ lives – from supporting them with hair loss (page 44) to creating a sanctuary from their frantic lives (check out Hooker & Young’s calming newly redesigned salon in our Interiors section).
But if a client has an amazing time at your salon, are you getting them to shout about it loud enough? Harnessing client testimonials and reviews is such a powerful way of reinforcing your expertise and showing new clients why you’re the stylist and / or salon for them.
Read Phil Jackson’s feature on page 27 for some seriously smart tips on making reviews work harder.
At the time of writing this Ed’s Letter, the day when face masks and visors will be optional is imminent. The results of our HJ Insider survey can be found on page 19, and it reveals how many of you will keep the coverings in the salon…
We are so pleased to announce that it’s all things go for Salon International from 16-18 October. We've got three stages bursting with content (HJ, Modern Barber and the all-new Colour Stage!) If you haven’t already, make sure you get your tickets.
And finally, I’m so honoured and excited to be taking on the role of HJ editor. My door, inbox and DMs are always open and ready to hear your thoughts, news and views.
Hairdressers Journal International is for you – so make it what you want.
