Overview

This short professional development course is for hair and beauty professionals, therapists, salon owners, and anyone in client-facing roles who wants to understand menopause and how it can affect their clients. Menopause affects millions of women and can bring a range of physical, emotional and psychological changes, including hot flushes, sleep disturbances, anxiety, changes in skin and hair condition, and reduced confidence. 

As trusted professionals, hairdressers, beauty therapists and PTs are often in a unique position to support clients through meaningful conversations and personalised services. This course provides practical knowledge of menopause, develops communication skills for sensitive client interactions, and explores ways to adapt treatments and consultations to meet changing client needs.

You will gain confidence in creating inclusive, supportive environments and delivering services with empathy and professionalism. This course is ideal for those seeking menopause awareness training, inclusive salon practice skills, and enhanced client care expertise within the hair and beauty sector. 

The course is delivered through interactive workshops combining tutor-led presentations, group discussions, case studies, and practical activities. Learners are encouraged to share experiences, reflect on workplace practice, and develop strategies that can be applied immediately within salon or client-facing environments.
