Empowering Stylists at Vivo with Continuous Industry Training

Our people are our biggest asset. We’re not simply saying that, as the ongoing training programs we offer to our Vivo staff is an area we’re consistently investing in – we’ve even got a team dedicated to Learning and Development at Vivo. We believe that providing diverse learning opportunities not only enhances the individual’s skills and nurtures their passion for the industry, but in turn, will also contribute to our team's overall success and growth. It’s people first for us, always.

At Vivo, we prioritise continuous growth, valuing our staff and celebrating their successes.

Our commitment to the Grow It value at Vivo

Grow It, is one of our primary value commitments where we focus on prioritising continuous growth and cultivating a culture of continuous learning. This ensures our teams are well-equipped to thrive in the dynamic beauty and salon industry. As the industry evolves, our stylists are committed to staying on top of the latest trends, techniques, and innovations within the industry through our training programs. All while, keeping our approach tailored to the individual’s learning needs and offering varied training options.

Our mission to change lives for our clients, stylists and skin therapists

What drives us to empower our Vivo team members to hone their craft as stylists and skin therapists goes beyond upskilling. No matter if it’s the salon chair, the stylist’s career or the skin therapist’s practice – we seek to bring about positive change and fulfilment through our learning pathways.

We see how crucial training impacts and interconnects with multiple touchpoints at Vivo. These include:

• Inspiring, empowering, and instiling confidence across all aspects of each Vivo team member’s role;
• Growth opportunities for our stylists - leading to increased earnings, career development and a deeper passion for the industry and for Vivo;
• Retaining Vivo staff, role fulfilment and happiness;
• Providing outstanding results for our clients that keep them coming back;
• Connecting our clients with a hairstylist or skin specialist who will create profound results they’ll love;
• Emphasising skill enhancement and individual empowerment through cutting-edge educational methods.

We are all about empowering growth, transforming futures, and leading through innovative education.
