In todays episode we chat to Lesley Blair, the chair of BABTAC, more formally known as the British Association of Beauty Therapy and Cosmetology. Lelsey shares with us some valuable information about BABTAC such as when they were founded and why, plus we discuss in depth the benefits of being a part of a beauty association and what a membership really gives you. Lesley also updates us on their most recent projects, such as the Make Beauty Safe Campaign which aims to introduce a way of regulating the industry and ensuring all professionals are working at the same level in a safe way.  If you wish to purchase our new Affirmation Cards mentioned in this podcast please visit - https://the-beauty-edit-podcast.square.site Social Media Links: The Beauty Edit Podcast Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thebeautyeditpodcast/ The Beauty Edit Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/631161774134896/?ref=share Our salon, Ever Pretty Beauty Studio Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/everprettybeautystudio BABTAC's Website - https://www.babtac.com If you wish to sign the Make Beauty Safe campaign then please click here - https://www.change.org/p/government-makebeautysafe-make-the-unregulated-beauty-industry-safer-for-consumers?utm_content=cl_sharecopy_25120649_en-GB%3A6&recruiter=1137860200&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink&utm_campaign=share_petition
