This is the part I do not like. Talking about me. What do you the reader need to know? Mmm. I started my beauty industry journey as a child working in family salons school holidays and weekend. In 1962 I began my apprenticeship. In the 1970s I studied Architecture and developed an award-winning kit home business. Won some major awards and loved my work creating eighteen-century style homes. I still owned my hairdressing and beauty salons and loved that work as well. In 1993 I was chosen to assist with the rewrite of the Australian Standards for the beauty industry. Then again 2007-2014 to write the international industry standards. Oh yes, I feel proud to be part of history in the makings. In 1996 I studied Aromatherapy at Naturecare College In Crows Nest Australia. What a wonderful journey that was. in 2003 my daughter opened a salon and asked if I could devote some time in her salon. Naturally, I was happy to. During that time we assisted with giving beauty students work experience. That is when I realised that all my salon protocol notes needed to be published. There were very few books for beauty salon students in the market place. Now the market is flooded with them. Google became flooded with "How To." Information, which was not always correct. This stirred my passion for the industry and compelled me to write my series of beauty school books. I am by no means a learned author, but I am passionate about the correct method of procedures. My spelling is weak, and my grammar is often of the beaten track. But my readers can rest assured that I know my industry, and I know what will and will not work. Most teachers want their students to do well and they are passionate about their work. However, they are not your family and they need to help a room filled with students. I feel privileged to have been trained by family that constantly watched over me and corrected me. I am passing my privilege onto you, my fellow man (students) with all my love of mankind and my passion for the hair, health and beauty industry. I am doing this with my books and while I am still alive and kicking and of sound mind, (LOL) I also offer you free email support. My books are the closest thing you will ever get to a loving grandma that knows your trade. Enjoy my books and never be afraid to debate issues with me nor to ask questions via email. Love to you Robyna.
