Welcome to Icandy Temps.
HAIR and beauty businesses struggling with staff shortages need not fear - I Candy can step into the breach!
The employment agency, based at 120 Mortimer Street, Herne Bay, offers temporary cover to hair salons, beauty parlours, holistic therapy studios and spas. For hair and beauty therapists unable to work full-time because of other commitments, it offers placements to suit and for self-employed mobile therapists, extra bookings to boost their income.
I Candy was launched in May by professional hairdresser Heidi Wallis, who believes it is the only agency of its kind specialising in the hair and beauty industry in the area. She said: “I have been a professional hairdresser 20 years and having worked in salons, I realise the problems caused by somebody being off sick, on extended holiday or maternity leave, so it makes sense to have a skilled ‘temp’ step in to ease the workload.” She is amazed by the response from girls registering with I Candy and, as the word spreads,the increasing number of salons enquiring after temps.
Heidi is planning to ‘roll out’ I Candy’s services to residential and retirement homes, whereby a hairdresser or beautician can be easily hired, either on a weekly appointment basis or ‘as and when’. She intends to extend the service to the general public, either as a regular booking or a ‘one-off’, having their hair or beauty treatment done in the comfort of their own home. She also believes that hotels could benefit from her agency. Brides may also be interested to learn that Wedding Packages are available from I Candy at a one-off price, with temps performing hair and beauty services for the bride and the wedding party at home.
From qualified hairdressers and beauticians, to nail technicians and holistic therapists, anyone with beauty industry skills can sign on at the agency now. Equally, if you are a salon owner and think the agency can help find that special someone to fill your temporary vacancy, please get in touch! Call I Candy now on 01227 364424.
