What is this study about, and what's involved?
This questionnaire is part of an ongoing research project into hairdressing and hair-care practices. The aim of the study is to work with hairdressing bodies (Habia) and training providers (VTCT and City & Guilds) to integrate sustainability into the curriculum. This has a great deal of relevance for the hair and beauty industry as Habia’s new standards include guidelines for responsible and more sustainable ways of working.
The survey is designed to discover current beliefs towards sustainability in the hairdressing industry and uncover levels of awareness amongst learners. It is also a training resource in its own right.
This study is only applicable to those who are enrolled onto Hairdressing, or Hairdressing and Beauty courses within the UK.
