Editor’s Note Editor’s Note Thank you & farewell! This issue marks my final issue as Editor of Beauty Biz Magazine. 3 years ago, I came to Beauty Biz with a desire to bring education and inspiration to an industry I love so much. This issue is my final issue of Beauty Biz and I have to admit, that now it’s becoming an actual reality, saying goodbye to this role, and you all in this capacity, is sad and emotional for me. I have felt honoured to have been hand-selected for this role and have thoroughly enjoyed my time and the learning curve that came with compiling a magazine while running a clinic, a social medi business and life as a mum of 2 young kids. Thank you to each and every one of our readers, contributors and advertisers who have supported Beauty Biz during my time with the magazine. It was my mission to bring you all high-quality content. Thank you for helping make this happen and shaping what Beauty Biz Magazine is today. For the love, laughs and friendship you have all extended to me along this journey, may I say a big THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. I have had a blast and have loved giving back to my industry. The time has come for me to take something off my plate for once, rather than my normal trick of adding more, more, more, and pass on the Beauty Biz Editor torch onto another member of the Mocha Family. A special thank you to Linda Woodhead for her friendship, support and mentorship over the past 3 years. It’s been an honour to be one of your Mocha Angels. Thank you for everything! Why am I moving on from Beauty Biz? For the past 15 years I’ve run my own business and after working my butt off for many years in the treatment room, I have been able to step back from clients and daily salon life (with an amazing team in place) to be able to pursue personal interests, like being Editor of this amazing industry publication. This journey has evolved again, and I have been offered a role with a well-known large industry organisation as their Queensland Trainer and Clinical Content Creator alongside their national marketing team. And so, who will be taking my place? A very special expert from within our Mocha Family, Louise May, current Hair Biz Magazine Editor. Not only is Louise the editor of Hairbiz and a hair salon
owner, she also brings with her a wealth of experience in the professional beauty industry as a business mentor and coach, with a background in formulation of skincare and extensive knowledge of ingredients and the skin. In more exciting news we are about to announce a newly created role within the mocha group of an online editor who will work across all of the industries we support, creating more content and engagement in perfect timing for our rebrand and 2022. I will miss my role here but look forward to the challenges ahead. I look forward to seeing you all in person at the Sydney Beauty Expo, and of course for lots of big squishy hugs and a champagne in person at the ABIA’s 2022.
