About Trans and HIV Awareness Training for Salons
Looking for trans awareness or HIV awareness training for your salon? Inclusive training helps every client feel welcome, respected and safe, and it gives your team the confidence to offer a great experience to everyone who books.
Sam Marshall Education in Manchester offers two awareness courses. The Trans Awareness Course helps salon owners, therapists, stylists and nail technicians understand how to support trans and non binary clients and colleagues, from respectful language and pronouns to welcoming consultation forms and treatment adjustments. The HIV Awareness Course gives you clear facts about HIV, helps tackle outdated myths and shows how everyday hygiene and infection control protect every client equally. Both courses suit individuals and whole teams, and they fit alongside any hair, beauty, nails or spa service.
Course details and how to book are listed below. Making inclusion part of your training is one of the simplest ways to grow trust and loyalty.
