INTRODUCING THE FEDERATION |
The Freelance Hair and Beauty Federation is a non profit making organisation that exists to promote the Interests of freelance Hair stylists and Beauty Therapists within the industry and to provide benefits and services for its members, including Total Business Solutions, training opportunities and much more.
The F.H.B.F. is the industry's only official representative body for the Freelance Operator and works closely with leading manufacturers, training providers and other trade organisations for the benefit of its members. The Federation is unique in that its Executive Directors, Sheila Abrahams and Heather Hopkins, both have extensive knowledge and many years' experience of the hair and beauty industry. |
 Patrick Cameron
says...
"When working solo it's sometimes hard to stay motivated and inspired.
The Freelance Hair and Beauty Federation keeps you abreast of the latest trends and will help you keep your fingers on the pulse with motivational seminars by top names and major brand leaders." |
