Success story

” This is a truly inspirational story about 3 young women with many years of beauty industry experience with a vision to create a company that would help anyone take the same career path.

Not only have they built a truly remarkable training academy and online training platform that has helped develop the careers of over 9,000 students, but The Hampson Beauty Group have also established and launched their own brand called ProSpa that houses beauty and lash products.

The journey started 20 years ago when the first Hampson Beauty Clinic opened its doors in Tonbridge, initially offering nail treatments. Expansion led to the need for larger premises and the clinic moved to a prominent position in Tonbridge High Street pampering clients both locally and from across Kent, now offering nail, beauty, and aesthetics treatments. As business boomed, a second salon in Paddock Wood was opened accommodating a new clientele list. Visit the website to find out more www.hampsonbeautyclinic.co.uk

With such a fantastic skilled team it made sense to utilise their knowledge and start to help others wishing to tread the same path. To compliment the salons, The Hampson Training Academy was born offering quality short intensive training courses and the classroom started to welcome their first students and help them earn their required Accredited qualifications.

The Hampson Training Academy success grew, and it was clear that in order to accommodate the demand, new classrooms had to be created and they now offer state of the art training areas to comfortably accommodate the rise in training bookings, welcoming students from all backgrounds of all ages and genders wanting to change career or enhance their qualifications.

There is even a NEW pathway to aesthetic SFJ Level 3 IQ Award course now available for non-medics with no beauty background, designed to provide learners with an entry level qualification into the beauty and aesthetic industry. The Hampson Training Academy’s great reputation for training students was spreading beyond Kent and enquiries were building even beyond the UK. Yet again, innovation stepped in to ensure as many students as possible could achieve their potential and flexible distant learning had to be developed. The plan was to create a platform so the same qualifications could be gained as if students attended an Academy classroom course whereby virtual pods were created which could provide live interactive tutor led virtual classroom courses.

As COVID hit the beauty industry in 2020 seeing all clinics having to close, students found their career may have to be put on hold. The Hampson Beauty Group had already adapted to remote learning to provide online courses where students picked up their preferred fully accredited virtual classroom courses immediately via their student portal and study was accessible on their PC, tablet, or phone in the comfort of their own home. Visit the range of online courses available www.theonlinebeautycourses.com.

With the salons, training academy and online courses already under the Hampson Beauty Group brand, it was a natural progression to move into beauty supplies and the opportunity to work with industry leading beauty brands such as Sienna X, O.P.I and ProSpa Beauty on a day-to-day basis, made the transition worthwhile. Starting out, working from the back storeroom of one of their training academies, they now have their first Hampson Beauty Supplies store, located in Tonbridge High Street, Kent. The group is now able to offer discounts to other salons and students on hair and beauty brands which can be ordered online to collect in store or to be sent out all over the UK or internationally via the online store www.hampsonbeautysupplies.co.uk.

The Hampson Beauty Group team had a good idea what products they preferred and what customers were starting to request. The Group began to experiment with ingredients and researching natural products and realised there was a niche for vegan friendly alternatives. ProSpa Beauty was created as an exclusive high end, vegan friendly, quality product range for use in the Hampson Beauty Clinics and training academy. Soon ProSpa kits were in demand from other training academies looking for a premium product to train with and use within salons. Take a look at the full ProSpa range online www.prospabeauty.com.
