City College Plymouth’s on-site Hair & Day Spa, known as Stars, has received a significant boost with the appointment of Rachel Brown and Kiah Matthews as Business Development Managers. Both bring extensive experience to their roles: Kiah, who studied beauty at City College Plymouth and has worked with MAC Cosmetics and as a self-employed lash technician, and Rachel, a veteran of the hair industry with teaching experience at the College, collectively boasting 40 years in hair and beauty.
Since joining in March, Rachel and Kiah have been revitalizing Stars Hair & Day Spa through various initiatives, including enhanced marketing efforts and new service promotions aimed at both internal and external audiences. Their focus is clear: Stars is evolving beyond a mere training facility.
Rachel commented on their efforts: “We’re dedicated to tailoring Stars Hair & Day Spa to meet public demand. Starting June, we’ll extend our hours to Saturdays and offer late evenings on Wednesdays to ensure accessibility for everyone.”
The initiative aligns with City College Plymouth’s commitment to health and wellbeing, integrating education with practical experience to benefit the community. Hayley Loveridge, Curriculum Lead & Development Officer for Hair & Beauty, expressed excitement about the expansion: “Stars Hair & Day Spa is not just a sanctuary for luxury and rejuvenation; it’s a dynamic space where students learn alongside industry professionals, bridging the gap in Plymouth’s beauty sector.”
The renewed focus on Stars Hair & Day Spa underscores the College’s dedication to empowering its students and enriching the local economy through innovative educational practices.
