Celebrating 10 incredible years!

In March 2014, Emma sat down with a friend and shared an idea. That idea became this website and a brand-new, elite recruitment agency for hair, beauty, fashion, and aesthetics. Over the last ten years, the business has grown beyond expectation, and Emma has been able to build relationships with the most exclusive brands in the hair and beauty industry.

 

In 2019, to celebrate five years, the site was developed to include a page dedicated to advertising for our partners, and today you can find details of salons, spas, clinics, academies, and much more. 

 

Over the last ten years, the database of client details has grown exponentially, and Emma is very proud to have the details of almost every sought-after candidate in the industry. They all know that H&BR has built connections with brands few can rival and that their dream roles come to H&BR before they go anywhere else.

 

H&BR focuses on recruiting for roles in sales, marketing, education, HR, brand management, field sales operations, business management, and director-level.  As big-name rivals have closed their doors, H&BR grows stronger with each passing year.

 

Emma has built a business she is rightfully proud of and on behalf of everyone who knows her, works for her, or engages her, we are grateful for the effort, the quality of service, and the dedication she has shown.

 

Congratulations Emma and all at Hair and Beauty Recruitment! Here's to another ten years!

Wrapping up 2023 in style

2023 has been an amazing year for H&BR, with countless placements secured for candidates we are truly proud of. The year has flown and as we tiptoe nearer to Christmas, it's important to acknowledge all of the support we've had from our clients, candidates, and the whole team working hard behind the scenes. 2024 looks set to be our biggest year yet, and in the Spring, we'll be celebrating our tenth anniversary too! We are looking forward to the new year, but for now, we'd like to raise a glass of bubbly to everyone who's worked with us this year. Merry Christmas to you all, and here's to a fabulous 2024!

Nothing to be frightened of this Halloween!

As we all gear up for the spookiest night of the year, with the darker nights and the leaves turning orange and falling underfoot, it's easy to slip into our warmest jumper, stock up on sweets and treats, and begin the slow dance towards Christmas. But don't let the whole Halloween/Autumn vibe put your career into hibernation! We are as busy as ever with roles to fill across the UK and as far away as the Middle East. If you want to begin 2024 with a job to be proud of, then shake off your blanket and dust the cobwebs off your CV. We want to hear from you today!

No sign of slowing down

2023 has seen so many industries struggle and fight for survival as the cost of everything rises. But there is no sign that the hair and beauty industry is slowing down at all! We are swamped with new roles every week, and at the moment, we are working hard to fill some exciting positions in Dubai as well as many other fabulous locations across Europe. As the days get shorter and the weather eventually cools, we'll stay focused on recruiting for the best jobs in the industry, so if you are looking for a fresh start (or even a fresh country!) be sure to get in touch with us today. Remember, we don't advertise every role we have, because we draw from our database of candidates. You need to be registered with us to be at the front of the queue!

 

25th June 2023

Hot weather and hot opportunities

It seems summer is in full swing here in the UK with the days seemingly getting hotter and hotter. Although many of us are counting down the days until a week or two in a lovely air conditioned hotel on a beach somewhere fabulous, here at HBR, we are all fans on, heads down and focused on getting as many candidates placed as we can. You might think that summer is a bad time to look for a new role, but you couldn't be more wrong. We have jobs aplenty and need strong candidates to fill them. So if you fancy stepping into a new job when you return from your sun-soaked break, be sure to get in touch with us today.

 

15th April 2023

Exceeding expectations!

Having wrapped up the first quarter of the year (and who can believe how quickly that's come around!), we are nothing but delighted with how many candidates we've been able to place. February and March saw us having exciting conversations with some fabulous brands, and we have a huge portfolio of jobs lined up for the best candidates in the industry. So as the days get longer and spring starts to settle in, have a think about what your aspirations are for this year, and if the answer is a fresh and exciting new role, you know who to contact!

 

12th March 2023

2023 is off to an amazing start!

It is lovely to see the nights starting to get shorter, and now that the cold snap has passed, it may be possible to start looking forward to spring. But here at HBR, there is hardly time to look up! We have been so busy placing candidates with our exclusive clients that the first few months of the year have flown by. We have some incredible and highly exclusive relationships with huge brands within the industry. So if you fancy supercharging your career this year, get in touch today.

 

15th January 2023

Happy New Year!

From all of us here at HBR, we would like to wish you a happy new year! With Christmas now behind us and the prospect of a brand new year ahead, it's time to make some plans. For us, that means expansion, growing our network and building partnerships with even bigger brands than ever before. For you, perhaps it means looking for a new opportunity, something to challenge you and increase your income in 2023. If you feel like it's time for that next step up, get in touch today. The new year is always a great time to look for a job and we have some great roles across the industry waiting for candidates just like you!

The end of 2022 draws near

It's hard to believe it's Christmas time again so soon, but sure enough, the shops are full of gifts and tinsel and there is festive music blasting from every supermarket already. This year has flown by and we've been kept busy with a steady flow of fabulous roles and our constant quest for the perfect candidates. But although it's been busy, we've loved every second of it, and we're aiming to make next year even busier! So why not get in touch now and be part of our 2023 - either as a candidate or an employer looking to find the perfect recruit. 

 

2022 has been another challenging year for us all, so please know we mean this sincerely - Have a wonderful Christmas!

 

22nd October 2022

Busy, Busy, Busy!

The nights are drawing in, leaves are falling and the occasional Christmas advert can now be spotted on TV. Autumn is in full swing and it's hard to fight the urge to snuggle up and hibernate until the spring! But here at HBR, there's no time to hunker down under a big blanket and binge watch Netflix. We are so busy it's crazy! Emma has been working exclusively with brands, building their teams across the UK and beyond, in Sales, Marketing and Education. And these brands are some of the biggest and most talked about in our industry! Not mention they are working exclusivley with us! We have the best jobs - and if you are someone who fancies closing 2022 with an impressive new role, you really should get in touch today.

 

10th September 2022

The perfect moment to upscale your role

A global pandemic was bad enough but now we are all facing a tough economic situation with costs rising wherever we look. It would be easy to stay at home, work out how to save money and take all the fun out of your life...but what about looking at things from a slightly different perspective? What if, instead of working out how to make your salary stretch a little bit further, you increased your salary? Right now, our industry is exploding and there are so many opportunities for growth and - most importantly - more money! So get in touch today and send your CV. It won't cost you a penny to send it but it could just be the thing that makes 2022 much more fun.

 

12th May  2022

Big things are happening behind closed doors!

After 8 years of providing a consistently outstanding service to clients and candidates, we are often approached by brands who are recruiting for roles that they don't want to advertise widely, but rather, look for the best candidates using someone they trust to attract the most talented individuals in the industry. Because of this, Emma is busily working on some top secret roles and is looking forward to revealing all in the coming months. To make sure you don't miss out on new opportunities, make sure to regularly check out our Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn for weekly job updates and send your CV in to be added to our amazing database. 

 

10th April 2022

There's more to us than you might think

We are buzzing here at HBR! We continually have the best talent in Hair, Beauty, Aesthetics and Fashion register with us. As you can see we have countless jobs advertised on our website and social media platforms. Behind the scenes we have a team of specialists working on matching candidates with clients. Our success rate speaks for its self.


Meanwhile Emma spends many hours working on huge industry roles that are not advertised. The reason the high-profile roles aren't advertsised is because Emma works directly with the huge database she has built over the years as Director here at HBR. Her clients have the upmost trust in her finding  them the very best. She’s like a dog with a bone. It’s what she enjoys most!

H&BR specialise in recruiting for  Sales Directors, Account Managers, Business Managers, HR, PR & Marketing, Aestheticians, Educators, Managers, Therapists, Stylists, Barbers, Colourists, FOH. We recruit both in the Uk and globally. So get in touch for the very best placements!

8 Years! A message from Emma

I’m so proud of fulfilling my dream of starting my own business eight years ago. From the age of 19 I’ve been in management and education. I’ve project managed and opened eight hair and beauty businesses for well known brands, and in 2014 decided to take the next step in this wonderful industry. I started my career at the young age of 13, as a Saturday girl and never looked back. And I’m proud to say some of my icons are now clients of HBR. Everyday I’m truly grateful. 

 

Recruitment is not for the faint hearted - those of you who know me, will know the dedication I give to the business, clients and candidates. In 2014 I didn’t start off small - I jumped straight into recruiting for the worlds most known Haircare Brand. That’s the type of person I am! Over the last 8 years, HBR have gained the respect and loyalty from the very best in Hair, Beauty, Aesthetics and fashion across the globe, placing hundreds of amazing candidates in their dream jobs. Our database is full of the most desirable candidates in the business. 

 

My dream has come true - through hard work, dedication and consistency. Thank you all for your continued support! 

Emma C xx

Raising a glass to all we've achieved

Hair and Beauty Recruitment was formed in March 2014, and in the last eight years, we have achieved more than we ever dreamed possible. Very quickly, we leveraged our network, amassing an impressive database of candidates and began to build relationships with some of the biggest names in the industry. Fast forward to 2022 and we are now the most established and well respected recruitment agency in the hair and beauty industry, with global reach and a hard working team of recruiters and support staff. March 2022 will be a moment of celebration for us as we reflect on everything we have achieved, but until then, we still have time to grow even more! If you want to be part of our growth story, get in touch today.

Did you know we are a worldwide recruiter?

Although based in the UK, and proudly using a .co.uk website address, for a long time now we have been building amazing relationships with big name hair, beauty and aesthetics brands from across the world.  This means that we can offer jobs that are based in amazing places like Dubai and Abu Dhabi!  So it really is worth keeping an eye on this site as we often add fantastic roles - but they disappear quickly due to their popularity!

 

We say it often - but it's worth repeating - our database is huge and our reputation is solid - we attract BIG NAME clients seeking the highest calibre professionals that the industry has on offer.  If you aren't in our database, you simply won't get access to these amazing opportunities.  If you don't want to miss out - get your CV sent over today.

Vacation or Staycation: Time to escape

The summer seems to finally be here, with temperatures reaching record highs again and schools about to break for summer.  After the 18 months we've all had, the idea of a summer holiday feels like heaven for most of us but with all of the uncertainty over where we can travel and what the rules are, it can feel like more effort than it's worth!  Here at HBR, we are all in favour of taking a well earned break and would encourage you all to find some time to get away from whatever your day to day normal is - be that to somewhere glamourous and tropical, or closer to home for a staycation.  And if when you come home, the idea of returning to your normal feels unappealing, you can rest assured there will be someone in HBR, ready to pick up your CV and set you on the path to a fabulous new job throughout the summer months.  So if you fancy creating a new normal, something to get excited about after you've had your break, get in touch today.

 

26th May 2021

Time for a fresh start?

After around six weeks of our industry being open for business following months of lockdown, things are starting to calm down and people across the UK are once again looking well groomed and fabulous. It's been a crazy few weeks! And for salons, there is finally the opportunity to focus on filling vacancies and getting their teams up to full strength....ready for the summer holiday season. We have been inundated with roles to fill, across every aspect of the industry and throughout the UK and beyond.  Our vacancy page only shows a handful of the roles we need to fill.  So if you are here because you are considering a fresh start, take the plunge and get your CV sent over today. We may just have your perfect job - but if we don't know you're out there, it will pass you by.

 

18th April 2021

Grateful customers and busy salons

Here in the UK, it became possible for hairdressers and beauty therapists to work again after four months of lockdown this week. To say people were desperate for a haircut or to get their nails done would be an understatement! Many of us will have experienced the busiest week of our careers! And with that comes a growing number of very happy people, looking fabulous and feeling amazing. But there is a dark side....salons are busier than ever and the number of roles that need filling is growing every day. If you are looking for a new opportunity, get in touch. We simply cannot find enough candidates for the roles we have and there are some amazing opportunities waiting for the right candidate!

21st March 2021

With Spring comes hope

The daffodils are out and the blossom is starting to bloom on the trees.  Spring is here and it's an amazing feeling after the darkness and difficulty we have all experienced over the winter months.  Lockdown has been in place for a year now, with a few brief bursts of freedom thrown in. And we are all exhausted and desperate to get out and make the most of what life has to offer.  Never has this been more true than for our industry.  All around us are people in dire need of a decent haircut and some essential beauty treatments!  It's logical therefore that here at HBR, our phones are ringing off the hook and our inboxes are filling up - all because salons across the UK (and beyond) are pulling up their shutters and getting ready to reopen!  We say this often but it has never been more urgent than today - we need high calibre candidates right now! So get your CV sent in and lets breathe some life into your career and step into the exciting future together.

 

30th November 2020

A moment to reflect on our strength as an industry

As the uncertainty and disruption caused by Covid-19 continues and the restrictions in place across the UK are extended up until Christmas, it is great to hear that at last, the hair and beauty industry can operate in all three tiers, and take advantage of the pre-Christmas rush that we have all hoped would be possible.  It has been a very tough year for our industry but here at HBR, we know that we can come back stronger and even more determined as we move into 2021.  These updates always include a call for your CV, and this one is no different.  But this time, we would also like to pause and congratulate everyone in the industry for making it through a very hard year and to offer you love and strength for the coming weeks through to Christmas and beyond.

 

10th October 2020

Time to make big plans

The leaves have started to fall and things are getting decidedly autumnal here in the UK.  Sadly, the uncertainty of the pandemic continues and life still hasn't returned to normal for most of us.  At HBR, we like to think of this time of the year as a chance to take stock and think about what we want to achieve in the year ahead.  Starting now gives us the chance to set everything in motion to give us the best chance of success as early into 2021 as possible.  If you are starting to think about what you want from the new year, now is a great moment to consider what you want your job to look like.  And if you are considering changing roles in 2021, it's essential that you get the wheels rolling now and send us your CV.  We would love to support you in securing the best role for you in 2021.

 

3rd August 2020

Creating certainty in an uncertain world

Things have been gradually opening up across the industry over the last few weeks, although there are still some frustrating delays in the beauty area which we hope will resolve soon.  The great news is that despite all of the disruption over the last few months, salons and brands are actively recruiting and this means we have a steady stream of opportunities flowing in every day.  We see this as positive at a time of continuing uncertainty and we are keen to support you as much as possible to find a new role or fill your vacancy.  So get in touch today and get yourself set for a bright future - let finding a new role be the one thing you don't need to feel uncertain about.

 

1st July 2020

We're back and raring to go!

Our last update was in March and it seems strange to think that when we wrote that, we had no real sense of the scale of disruption we were facing.  But it's coming to an end at last, and as we carefully step outside and into the salon again, it's time to be grateful for everything we have.  HBR has been working hard through lockdown and we are thrilled to be able to announce that we have some amazing roles all ready to fill! It's an uncertain time for many, but we know this industry is strong and it will thrive. Get in touch today and ask about our latest roles - we need great candidates...right now!

 

25th March 2020

Strange times for everyone

With all of the disruption being caused by Covid-19, it's a great time to take stock and consider what is important.  We could use this update as an opportunity to try and encourage you to send in your CV, but instead, what we'd like to do is to encourage you to take a moment to feel grateful.  Grateful for what you have, grateful for those around you and hopeful for what the future will bring.  This period of disruption will end.  And when it does, we will be here ready to support you - either as a candidate or as a business.  And if you do want to reach out in the meantime, we are working from home and always happy to hear from you.  Take care.

 

24th October 2019

As the nights draw in...

It's that time of year when the clocks go back and the leaves start to fall.  The upside is it's definitely time to pull out those cosy penguin (or whatever!) PJ's that you were gifted last Christmas and get yourself all cosy and ready for the season of pumpkins and fireworks.  But if you want to start your new year with a bang, there is one thing you need to get done before you snuggle down with your favorite box sets - get your CV into us here at HBR.  We will keep it safe and make sure that when your perfect role comes in, you are matched up to it without you having to lift a finger.  Honestly, staying one step ahead of your career never felt so easy!  

 

26th August 2019

September - Bring it on!

It's August Bank Holiday weekend here in the UK and the sun is blazing.  Tomorrow the UK goes back to work and once September is here, the kids go back to school and life returns to its usual rhythm.  The great news for anyone looking for a new job is that September is a HUGE month for recruitment!  

Companies hold off in looking for new staff until they feel that there is a good chance they'll find the best candidate - and summer holidays can really get in the way of that!  So if you are in the market for a new challenge in the run up the the new year (yes, we did say new year!!), then get in touch today.

 

27th May 2019

A brand new feature on our site!

We are excited to announce that as well as offering a first class recruitment service for one of the fastest growing and exciting industries in the world, we are now also encouraging companies that we LOVE to share themselves with you on our new Adverts page.  Over the coming months, you will see a growing number of businesses and brands represented and if they are there, then we love them!  If you would like your business to be included, drop us an email and tell us all about what you do.  If we like what we see, we'll be in touch!

 

13th August 2018

A New Business Partner Has Arrived!

After months of negotiation (with herself!), Emma has finally taken the plunge and added a new face to the HBR team....meet Frankie!

Frankie enjoys watching TV, travelling around in his Mum's open top car in his very smart car seat and Emma loves being able to take him for a walk in her heels between business meetings.  They are the perfect partnership!
