Running a successful salon takes skill, time, and energy. Many hairdressers feel unsure about taxes, VAT, pricing, and cashflow. These areas often feel confusing, and the risk of costly mistakes grows as your business develops.
To support salon professionals across Northern Ireland, Savvy & Shine has partnered with The Lady Accountant, Lisa McCloskey, to deliver a simple, practical finance workshop designed for hairdressers, stylists, barbers, and salon owners who want confidence with their business numbers.
This two-hour in-person session breaks down the areas that matter most for real salon growth. The focus is on clarity, ease, and practical steps you can use straight away.

This training is built for:
• Self-employed hairdressers
• Mobile stylists
• Salon owners

If you work in the Northern Ireland hair and beauty sector, this session gives you essential financial knowledge to protect your business and support profit.
What You Will Learn
This workshop gives simple, direct guidance on the topics hairdressers struggle with most:
• How sole trader tax works
• What MTD means and what changes are coming

Why This Matters for Salons in Northern Ireland
Salons across Northern Ireland face rising costs, tighter margins, and growing pressure to stay compliant with HMRC rules. Clear financial knowledge reduces risk and strengthens stability.
Hairdressers often feel they “should know this already,” but most never receive financial training. This workshop fills that gap with simple, useful education that supports long-term growth.
Northern Ireland salons have unique challenges:
• Local tax rules
• VAT limits that affect retail and services
• Seasonal cashflow patterns
• Smaller team structures
• Rising business costs
This training speaks directly to those issues and delivers guidance you can apply the same day.
