Profile Julie Allen of Glotan plus Win a Tanning Hamper   February 27th, 2013

Julie Allen has seen her beauty business explode in the last 2 years. She has just announced the launch of her beauty training academy as well as launching her own sunless tan to the retail market.

 Julie Allen

Julie can boast of a 22 year career in the beauty industry. After gaining her beauty diploma, she worked in various salons and clinics working up to management level and then moving into training and teaching.

A couple of years ago, when she was teaching spray tanning using a competitor’s product, she was complimented for her teaching style. She realised that many of the products on the market did not provide a thorough training for the therapists that use them, so she devised her own training course, and then shortly afterwards she helped to develop her own tanning product.

Julie wanted to created a solution that was not only ‘as organic as possible’ but that did not contain alcohol and was fragrance free, but also contained added natural moisturisers and Vitamin E. She wanted her clients to receive the best and not something that would be filled with artificial ingredients or watered down, and so the Glotan™ tanning solution was developed. It also includes a high quality DHA made here in the UK to ensure that you can achieve a result that is even in application and professional.

The new product was originally only available to qualified  beauty therapists who completed Julie’s new training programme. But the combination of a very successful product and huge praise for her style of training, have led to Julie expanding her business empire even further.

_DM30595_low

From this year, Glotan has now been made  available to the public.  The already popular ‘Tan in a Can’ and tanning mousse are available to buy from www.glotan.co.uk alongside other popular products in their range.

Julie has also launched The Northampton School of Beauty, which offers a huge range of beauty therapy training with all courses developed by Julie and accredited through the Guild of Beauty Therapists.

They have just received official notification that they are now a NVQ provider and a CIBTAC  International Accredited centre. Apart from Northampton college they are the only NVQ provider in Northamptonshire and they are 1 of 15 CIBTAC centres in the whole of the UK!

For Julie, being qualified in the beauty industry has never been enough. Being able to simply teach others wasn’t enough. Her goal has been to reach the highest level in training recognised by the beauty industry world-wide which she has accomplished, and now be able to offer the highest quality services and products to her students and clients.
