Transformations Training & Business Development

People often ask what I do on Mondays when I’m away from the academy.

For the past 10 months, I’ve been at completing Joico’s highest level of education — Color Excellence. 🎓

After 11 years working with the brand, invited me to attend. I’ll confess, I didn’t fully appreciate what I’d signed up for until day one, when I heard about the completion rate. That’s when it dawned on me: this was a big commitment!

I’m brilliant at starting things. Finishing them when you’re juggling businesses, family and everything else? That’s another matter. 🙈 I genuinely wondered whether I’d manage the full 10 months without something pulling me away.

Well, I did it! 💪

My knowledge of Joico, colour and what we can achieve has grown enormously. My clients are benefiting, my team are benefiting, and I’m bringing everything I’ve learnt back into the salon.

Investing in my education means investing in the standards we deliver at Transformations.

And personally? I’m rather proud that I saw this one through, from start to finish.

Another three days away training for the boss this week! Here’s Kerry in action, developing her skills and building on her experience.

Behind every treatment is an investment in education, knowledge and hands-on practice. Because giving you expert care means continuing to learn.

You build confidence by doing.

At Transformations Clinic & Academy, we believe hands-on training is essential. Understanding the theory matters, but putting it into practice is where your skills develop.

With expert guidance, practical experience and feedback as you work, you learn how to deliver a treatment—and why each step matters.

Whether you’re starting your career or refreshing your skills, we help you build confidence, precision and professional standards.

There are times in business when I genuinely question why I am doing this.

After another mindless act of vandalism at our property last night, this morning was certainly one of those times. With our daughter undergoing an operation today, the last thing we needed as a family was to deal with further criminal damage to our business.

However, the wonderful business owners of Chard never fail to support us. A heartfelt thank you to the lovely ladies from and for notifying us so early, and to everyone else who has called and offered their support.

We will not be driven away. We will continue working hard as a family business, bringing fabulous hair, beauty and aesthetic treatments to Chard.

Thank you to everyone who continues to stand beside us. It truly means a great deal. ❤️

Another full-on day of training, and I am absolutely loving it!

Today, I also had a very exciting conversation with about the next chapter of my business journey.

There is still plenty of hard work ahead, but exciting plans are beginning to take shape. Watch this space… ✨

Up at 4am. On the train by 5.10am and in Warrington by 9.30am.

Three hours of studying on the journey, followed by a full day of Level 7 practical training and another four hours of assignments afterwards… zzzzz!

I sat next to a nurse on the train who asked, “Are you studying aesthetics?”

“Yes, I have been for about 15 years,” I replied.

We had a great conversation about the industry, as she also works within an aesthetics clinic.

The learning never stops. Experience matters, but so does continuing to study, develop and raise professional standards.

Now, I think I have earned some sleep!

✨ 5 BENEFITS OF BECOMING A BEAUTY THERAPIST

Thinking about a new career? Beauty therapy can offer far more than simply learning how to perform treatments.

1. A career that makes people feel good
There’s something incredibly rewarding about helping someone leave your treatment room feeling relaxed, confident and better about themselves.

2. Flexibility
Work in a salon, spa or clinic, become self-employed or eventually open your own business. Beauty can be shaped around the life you want.

3. Fantastic progression opportunities
Start with beauty therapy and continue developing into advanced facials, massage, skin, laser or aesthetics.

4. Build your own income
Your skills become something you can earn from. With experience, a loyal clientele and good business knowledge, there is real potential to build a successful career.

5. You’ll never stop learning
Beauty is constantly developing. New treatments, technology and techniques mean there is always an opportunity to improve and progress.

At Transformations Clinic & Academy, our training is practical, supportive and designed to give you the confidence to actually work in the industry, not simply gain a qualification.

✨ New skills. New confidence. New career.
