[251] In April 2022, a report commissioned by the National Hair & Beauty Federation (NHBF) from Pragmatix Advisory confirmed a skills crisis in the hair & beauty sector — sharing that "57% of hair & beauty businesses in the UK have unfilled vacancies." While the report identifies threats to the sector's future in the UK specifically, we're hearing salon owners globally also talking about the challenges they're running into when finding, hiring and retaining skilled staff.
In this week's conversation, multi-award-winning salon owner and entrepreneur Stefania Rossi (@stefaniarossirecruitment) shares her views and observations on the skills shortage, discusses the substantial financial implications bad hiring decisions can have on salon and spa businesses and shares red flags to look out for when speaking to potential candidates.
