Presently, over 75 per cent of Saltair\u2019s management team are Gordon beauty graduates, including Grace Harding who has moved into a managerial role at the world class venue.<\/p>\n
\u201cI got my first taste of the beauty industry whilst living in the UK, working as a receptionist. Seeing other beauty therapists completely change a client\u2019s mood and brightening their day showed me the powerful impact a high-quality salon can have on the community,\u201d said Grace.<\/p>\n
\u201cI fell in love with the culture and I wanted to take my experiences and transition this into a career.\u201d<\/p>\n
After returning home from overseas, Ms Harding trained at The Gordon, completing a Diploma of Beauty Therapy.<\/p>\n
\u201cTraining at The Gordon TAFE gave me the tool kit to provide clients a memorable experience. I learnt to be professional, presentable and respectful, all skills that are compulsory in gaining employment at a luxury day spa like Saltair Spa,\u201d Grace said.<\/p>\n
Grace continues to grow her skills and her passion for an industry she is truly at home within.<\/p>\n
\u201cSaltair worked with me from the beginning to help me achieve my goals as quickly as possible. I\u2019ve attained the skills and ability to lead a group of beauty therapists in the day to day running of our health spa,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cBeing able to provide clients with an experience, and not just a treatment, and knowing that it can change the whole path of someone\u2019s day, is very rewarding.\u201d<\/p>\n
