“Every industry has a standard… restaurants have Michelin ratings and hotels have AA or RAC Stars. We think it’s time salon and spa professionals had their own standard too. Hairdressers, colourists, barbers, therapists and nail technicians, all demonstrate excellent levels of performance day in and day out in a highly creative customer-facing industry. Many are way better than just average, but to date, there’s never been a way of proving this to consumers, employers or simply themselves.
"Well that’s all changed now, with the introduction of PHAB Service Stars!
"A PHAB Service Star is awarded by measuring a combination of customer count, repeat customer visits and retail sales. Other measures include customer testimonials, management confirmations, hygiene and environmental best practise.
Being equipped with a PHAB Service Star is a great way of evidencing professionalism - very helpful to consumers when choosing a new hair and beauty professional and a great aid to business owners recruiting new staff or considering promotions.
"Our advisory board of industry experts who guide the PHAB Service Stars are put into place to ensure quality selection criteria meets their high standards. I believe that as industry standards improve, so will the performance level expectations in order to qualify for a PHAB Service Star. Annual renewals ensure that no professional can rest on their laurels.”
