GOTAFE Shepparton’s Hair and Beauty salon has been awarded the Phorest Client Experience Award for a second year in succession.
The industry award is judged by clients of participating salons who rate their experiences online.
Trainer and assessor of hairdressing at GOTAFE Shepparton Danielle Pigatto said winning the award for a second time has boosted the morale of both staff and students.
“The award reflects the dedication of both our trainers and students, who put so much care into providing the best possible experience for customers,” Ms Pigatto said.
Certificate III in Hairdressing student Maggie Broughton said the customer experience is her number one priority.
“At the end of the day, the clients are the reason I do what I do, so making sure they have a great experience is extremely important,” she said.

When cultural celebrations and marketing collide
Some high-level marketing campaigns have crossed our desk at the News of late.
If you weren’t aware there is a 7-Eleven Day, you do now.
Of course, 7-Eleven Day had to be held on the seventh of the 11th, with more than 740 7-Eleven stores across the country offering a free regular coffee or large Slurpee for customers with any purchase on that day.
Meanwhile, KFC was doing its best to cash in on our love for romance and, apparently, onion rings, by offering a “lucky” couple a $80,000 KFC wedding, which amounts to a lot of family feasts.
KFC encouraged prospective proposers to “get down on one knee” and propose using an onion ring as an engagement ring.
