Hello, my name is Belinda Hillman I am the creator and founder of Belinda Mindset and The hairdressing and beauty industry motivational training cards. We are a global education brand and recommended by Habia UK.
I teach mindset skills to learners in the industry empowering them to reach the success they all deserve.
I was a finalist in the Prestige great British entrepreneur awards for entrepreneurial spirit in London 2021 . The hair and beauty awards I won a silver award for entrepreneur of the year 2021. I have two sons and run a successful salon of 15 years with my husband Kevin the award winning THE hairdressers in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England.
With a hard start in life I am now enjoying a successful career in the hair industry. I teach that hairdressing is more than a job, it gives you friend’s for life, it’s creative, can provide world travel experiences and most importantly it makes you a fully self-sufficient independent professional. My workshops empower and motivate students by teaching them mindset techniques and retail skills to promote themselves, services and products.

I’m available for live online courses which are supported by Habia UK.
Students find my courses refreshing, informative, uplifting and supportive.

Seize the Opportunities
Ian Carmichael
Hairdresser to the Queen
The Queen has had the same hairdresser for over 20 years, Ian Carmichael. I got the pleasure of meeting and being taught by this charismatic man during my hairdressing training in hair-up and retail with Steiner before I went on to the Holland America cruise line. I was 19 and meeting people like Ian was amazing. Cruise ships were a fantastic experience and I will share knowledge, tips and tricks in my workshops.
Sting
Opportunity comes when you least expect it, I teach hairdressing apprentices to look out for these rare moments and to go for it even if it is scary because that’s where life is fun! This photo of me with Sting was a regular Friday morning or so I thought at 8am I was getting ready for work in the salon when THE hairdressers got a call from someone who worked at the Baltic in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Sting was doing TV interview’s all day then a show at night and needed make up and his beard trimmed. I had seconds to decide yes or no? How will I reschedule my day? Can I really take care of Sting? The answer was a big yes! My beautician and I spent two hours with Sting. I remember thinking how lucky I was and I can tell you he is a gentleman he acknowledged everyone in the room and it made my week to get a picture with Sting with the Tyne Bridge behind him. Hairdressing life is full of fantastic moments this is up there in my top 3!
