With more than five years' experience as a beauty therapist at Regis hair and beauty salons in Debenhams and Dingles department stores, Emma was promoted to salon manager. She was also selected as a beauty educator, responsible for training other therapists in the Regis network. "Emma's enthusiasm and commitment to customer care really shone through in her application," said Rege account manager Lynn Bms. She added: "The fact that she was appointed a beauty educator just reinforces her dedication and motivation to help other beauty therapists and further develop the beauty business within Regis."
