HJ's Freelance Week is taking place from Monday 23 October to Friday 27 October – and will be jam-packed full of content for freelance hairstylists, mobile hairdressers, chair renters, session stylists and everything in-between.
The week is inspired by European Freelancer’s Week and the idea is to give you a week filled with business, educational, and inspirational content that will help you to continue succeeding as a freelancer during these difficult times or to give you the answers to all of your questions if you’re considering becoming a freelance hairstylist or barber in the near future.
Hairdressers Journal International's Editor Charlotte Grant-West said: "The rise in the number of stylists who now consider themselves freelance suggests that this 'trend' isn't going anywhere. Although we're still tackling the current cost of living crisis and energy price rises have produced a lot of challenges, people are still making the move to setting up on their own. The industry is looking for ways of working that offer flexibility, more balance and more variety – which a freelance lifestyle can sometimes offer. HJ always strive to support freelancers whether they're based in the salon, working on a mobile basis or are part of a collective. Drop us a DM if you'd like to see any particular topic covered in the future."
