Now Open for Applications

Are you a hairdresser or barber, senior apprentice or qualified, who wants to develop your salon management skills?

SAHBA, in collaboration with The French Beauty Academy, is excited to offer a complimentary Salon Management course. We are thrilled to present a skills cluster that provides valuable insight into the essentials of salon management. The three units delivered by our Diamond sponsor, The French Beauty Academy, form part of the SHB50216 Diploma of Salon Management. Successfully completing this course will mean you only need to complete the remaining seven units and be awarded your full qualification.

Since 1986, The French Beauty Academy has been a leader in beauty education, enrolling over 2,000 students annually and has produced more than 10,000 graduates. With strong partnerships across the hair and beauty industries, the academy ensures its students benefit from networking and career development opportunities.

SAHBA’s integrated approach is informed by findings from the Job and Skills Australia Job Vacancy report. The report highlights the complexity of salon roles, stating, “Hairdressing is a skilled occupation in which technical skills represent but one aspect of role demands.” It emphasises the need to equip hairdressers or barbers, senior apprentices or qualified, with skills, knowledge, and career pathways beyond technical expertise to support retention in the industry.

The Salon Management skills cluster equips participants with critical management skills, such as managing work priorities, sales delivery, and maintaining a safe work environment. Developed in consultation with SAHBA's members, the course blends theoretical knowledge with practical application, helping hairdressers and barbers gain a deeper understanding of salon operations.

This program focuses on critical management skills and career development, addressing the industry's most pressing needs while contributing to long-term workforce sustainability.
