A big thank you to Andrea Linn from Gippsland Skills and Jobs Centre and .luna_tans for visiting our Salon Assistant students and sharing her small business journey.
As an international trainer and successful business owner, Andrea spoke about everything from registering a business, insurance, pricing and managing finances, to building a personal brand, attracting ideal clients and using social media effectively.
Students gained valuable real-world insights into the beauty industry, including the importance of ongoing learning, industry certifications, treating clients like family, and surrounding yourself with positive role models.
One of Andrea's key messages was to stay genuine, back yourself, and consistently show up as the person you want to become. Thank you, Andrea, for your honesty, inspiration and practical advice.
