APAA
www.apaa.com.au

In the early 50s a group of dedicated beauty therapists, many of them with European qualifications, would get together and discuss issues of the profession's public image and ethics, and so the plight to establish a professional body was birthed. For over 5 years informal meetings were held leading to the establishment of a strong network of passionately dedicated aestheticians. This dedicated group pioneered the way for the first Australian Association to be established with a Constitution and A Code of Ethical Practice in October 1957. The association was named "THE ASSOCIATION OF PROFESSIONAL AESTHETICIANS OF AUSTRALIA".

Today, with representation in every State, the APAA is recognised for its commitment to education and raising the standards within its membership so that the public can be assured they are in the hands of competent professionals.

The mission statement of the APAA is to establish and promote the integrity of the professional Beauty Therapist, by initiating programs to maintain and progressively raise the standards of our industry to world class through the active participation of its members.

Spa Fresh clients can enjoy $50 off the joining fee for the APAA,
paying only $230 plus $50 admin charge.

Your Coach
www.yourcoach.net.au

Your Coach was incorporated in 2001 by Faye Murray, and through a team of specialist coaches offers a range of business improvement services and products designed specifically for the beauty/spa industry.

Why is it important to have coaches offering industry specific advice?

Perhaps from the outside those not involved in beauty salons/spas may be of the opinion that operating a successful salon/spa business is the same as operating a successful coffee shop or florist or some such.

But we in the industry know just how individual and distinctive the demands and needs of running a salon/spa are.

There is not a 'one size fits all' approach that can work for all salons/spas. There is no special 'system' that, if applied to all salons/spas, would magically transform them all into harmonious, profit making machines.

Of course business fundamentals remain the same, but as we know, it is the specific knowledge about client expectations, the dynamics of a salon/spa visit, how to train team members in the right attitude towards helping their clients choose retail products and so on, that makes it vital to deal with someone who knows all of this and more.
