• Ensure you have confirmed the date and time of your interview and who will be interviewing you.
  
  
• Allow for enough time to get to the interview with some extra time for unplanned incidents ie: traffic, roadworks etc. TIP: Allow even extra time to ‘sit’ back and relax in the reception, to calm yourself and ‘take in’ the atmosphere and culture of the environment, you will learn a great deal by doing this.
  
  
• Research in advance the spa/salon's ethics, values, culture, mission statement, growth, service menu, price point, typical client profile/demographics
  
  
• Be true to yourself and your interviewer and you cant go too wrong: The interview is a chance to perform at your best, but not a place to act. With the high turnover in such a transient industry such as ours, recruiters are getting more and more in tune with the so-called ‘Actors’. Target your interviewer's needs but ‘keeping it real’ is the best approach.
  
  
• Image - Get it together:
  Plan what you are going to wear and ensure it reveals your personality, but remains professional. Careful attention to detail is vital. Particularly in the aesthetics industry. Most of us look our best at interviews, so ensure you look immaculate.
