Editor’s Note

Welcome to our first issue of the year, and what a great edition it is!

It’s been all systems go here at mocha! we have had a wonderful start to the year, with the whole mocha team catching up in Brisbane for a get together over lunch, and then hosting Beauty Squad House in January which was held on the Gold Coast. You can read about the fabulous few days in this issue.

One of the things that I love so much about the Beauty industry is that we are constantly renewing and improving.

Beauty is one of the only industries in the world where so much emphasis is placed upon educating out therapists and business owners, and updating how things are done in our clinics, salons, and spas. We are constantly evolving which is wonderful!

With a plethora of support available with industry coaches, mentors and educators, there is always help on hand for you as a business owner. Every issue of Beauty Biz, we deliver to our readers the best of the best when it comes to coaching, mentoring and education. It is always such a thrill for me when I receive the articles from our industry experts, as I know just how valuable their advice, tips & tricks, is.

Our experts in this issue bring to you some key pieces of information around setting yourself up and creating a well mapped out plan, to ensure that you have a successful 2023. Also in this issue, we feature ABIA 2022 Best Customer Care Finalist Jennifer Dixon from Embellish Inc, we catch up with the gorgeous April Brodie, we take a look inside Elly Lucas and their amazing state of the art Beauty Therapy College, Mala McAlpine talks us through what conferences to attend in 2023, and we feature the absolutely stunning Alba Thermal Springs on the Mornington Peninsula.

With all this plus more, I am sure you will enjoy reading this issue.

Finally, a reminder that the ABIA and Beauty Squad 2023 officially opened in January! The entry deadline is 22nd May, and the finalists will be announced 26th June. Our Gala ABIA night is being held in Sydney on 27th August in Sydney at the Star and tickets are already on sale at www.mochagroup.com.au/shop
