about me
My name's Joanne Middleton and here's a little bit about my background. On completion of my HNC in Beauty Therapy Management and NVQ in Beauty I set up my own salon in York with the help of the Prince’s Trust. I was one of the first people to be set up on the new scheme and MP Hugh Bailey and The Minister of Education opened my salon!
I built up my client base whilst continuing to study Holistic's and Teaching Certificates. I also worked as an educator for Belle Santé. I fell pregnant with my daughter and the salon owner sold the shop so I went mobile whilst also working freelance as an educator for Salon Systems for 2 years, before creating and having approved my own courses and workshops. I progressed by opening my own private VTCT School for 2 years and gained my A1 and A2 Assessors Awards before falling pregnant with my second son! I decided not to renew the lease and continued teaching my BABTAC and GUILD courses from another venue. I also gained the position of CIBTAC International Examiner. I now continue to work for CIBTAC when required, teach my private courses and run 3 different beauty clinics for clients in York, North Yorkshire. See me on You Tube!
