HJ's Freelance Week is taking place from Monday 21 October to Friday 25 October – and will be jam-packed full of content for freelance hairstylists, mobile hairdressers, chair renters, session stylists, co-working space renters 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 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 a new attitude in the industry – the biggest growing sector in our monthly HJ Insider surveys are the hairdressers who consider themselves both employed and self-employed.
"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."
