Top 5 ways for therapists to make the most of Wahanda

Tuesday, January 31st, 2012

At Wahanda, we’re incredibly proud of our community of therapists – and we want everyone to know it. In order to help spread the word about the great work you do, we’ve compiled a handy guide, explaining how to make the most of your therapist profile and maximise your presence on the site.

Ready to face the spotlight? Follow these simple steps and all eyes will be on you. We hope you’re not feeling shy…

Complete your profile

If you want to make the most of your profile on Wahanda, it’s important to fill out as much information as possible. Adding an image of yourself will immediately set your profile apart from others, while including full details of the services you provide and your qualifications will make it easier for clients to find out what you have to offer – always a bonus.

Attach yourself to the venue you work for

It’s a simple step, but one which is often overlooked. If you work at a venue which is listed on the Wahanda website, remember to include it under ‘Where I practise’ – this will help potential customers to find out more about the business.

Start blogging

At Wahanda, we love sharing – and we know that lots of you do too. If you want to spread the word about the latest news and innovations in beauty and wellbeing, or fancy letting our community in on some of your top tips, then why not start a Wahanda blog? Visit our therapist hub to see some examples of previous blogs, or email angharad@wahanda.com to get started.

Get involved with Q&A

Our Q&A section is the perfect place for you to share your expertise and interact with other Wahanda users (they won’t bite, promise!). Head to the community page to see the latest questions, or sign up within your profile settings to receive notifications when a relevant question is asked. Then all you have to do is get answering…

Stay active on the site

The more active you are on Wahanda, the more places on the site you’ll appear in – giving you the perfect excuse to get reviewing, scrapbooking, answering questions and blogging. Interact as much as therapists Paola Bassanese and Claire Benson and you could even end up with a place on our ‘most active practitioners’ leader board – a sure sign of a therapist who knows their stuff.

Not yet got a profile? Creating one is simple (and free!) – just click on the ‘Sign in/join’ link at the top of the Wahanda homepage and follow the instructions to become a part of the fun.

Tracey Woodward’s ten secrets to success

Friday, December 9th, 2011

In need of some inspiration? Look no further. Following her mentoring session for CEW(UK), top salon director Tracey Woodward has shared ten terrific tips for budding entrepreneurs. If you’re looking to realise your potential, we think this advice is definitely worth keeping handy. Post-it notes at the ready…

Having entered the beauty industry in 1983, working on a Clinique counter, Tracey has since worked her way up and is now director at the glamorous Urban Retreat, Harrods. It hasn’t been easy, though – self-taught Tracey was plagued with illness from a young age, and relied on her ‘I can do that’ attitude to help her realise her dreams. We reckon her younger self would be pretty proud of where she’s got to today…

So what does Tracey reckon it takes to make it to the top? Here are her ten secrets to becoming successful in the world of beauty:

1. Read every magazine and supplement you can get your hands on

2. Inspect what you expect and correct

3. Get a great mentor

4. Listen and talk to everyone in and around your business

5. Don’t be put off by tomorrow, fix everything you can today

6. Remember that procrastination is the thief of time

7. Common sense isn’t all that common!

8. Don’t be threatened by your staff – their success is your success

9. Join CEW(UK) and attend their Mentoring Events

10. Charm will always win over intelligence

We don’t know about you, but with Tracey’s wise words to guide us we feel ready to achieve anything!

Want more pearls of wisdom from leading professionals? Visit www.cewuk.com to learn more about the CEW(UK) Mentoring Events. To see Tracey’s philosophy in action, why not pay a visit to Urban Retreat for the ultimate in luxury pampering.
