Beauty Call - Hair and Makeup Franchise Opportunity Nov 2013 | Page 4

Case Studies

Alison Martin

Franchisee for Leeds and York postcodes

“Having spent a couple of years on the books as an artist with Beauty Call I had often thought what a good idea the franchise opportunity was. I would often bump into some of the franchisees on jobs and they were always positive and upbeat about where their career was heading.

I decided to come on board and love the fact that I now run my own business, yet have the constant support and guidance from Head Office and the other franchisees, so still feel part of a team!

The bookings started coming in straight away and I was even going on jobs in January which I had previously always found a quiet month!

It's definitely the best career choice I could have made!”

Franchisee for Guildford and Slough postcodes

In June 2009 I gave up my full time job and retrained as make up artist. I loved having the flexibility of running my own business but found it difficult not knowing whether I had work coming form one day to the next. I decided to research the market for other things I can do and this is when I came across Beauty Call. After reading such amazing reviews I decided to give Nicky (the founder) a ring. Straight away she was friendly, professional and gave me all the info I needed to become a franchisee, my only worry was that I wasn’t trained in hair. As well as being an agency Beauty Call offer training courses, so I decided to do the 12 day advanced hair and make up course.

Not only did the course give me the extra confidence I needed but it gives you the opportunity to get pictures for your portfolio as you have a photo shoot day at the end of the course.

Joining Beauty Call has been the best decision I could have made, I still have the flexibility and control over my own diary, but I have the support and guidance when I need it from Nicky and Phil. I was initially a little daunted when I first joined as I didn’t really comprehend how busy I would be, however Nicky and Phil were always there to give me the guidance I needed. In my first year I did over 80 jobs, and each year that number grows.
