W elcome to Salon Magazine’s Spa 2018 special report.
Research carried out last summer found that the salon and spa industry in Ireland contributes €540m annually to the Irish economy. Phorest Salon Software undertook research to highlight the true value of the industry and bring to the forefront how much Irish salons and spas contribute to the economy. It is estimated that there are are about 4,000 salons and spas across Ireland and, more so than any other industry, they cater for a broad spectrum of the Irish population, from the very young to the elderly. “The salon and spa industry is one that often gets overlooked, its activities and its contributions to the economy do not gain as much media attention or coverage as its Industry counterparts,” said CEO of Phorest Salon Software Ronan Perceval. It’s fitting therefore that the Spa Life International Convention
JUNE 2018 | ISSUE 45 | €5.20 - £4.45
(Ireland), supported by Failte Ireland and Meet in Ireland, is returning here and will be hosted at the recently refurbished Johnstown Estate Hotel & Spa on 18 and 19 June. Spa Life International is Europe's largest spa-dedicated event, exclusively for senior spa professionals. The event will provide spa professionals with an unparalleled combination of exposure to new product innovations; shared industry insights; extensive networking opportunities; and quality management education. The line-up of speakers includes Dr Franz Linser, Sharron Lowe, Peigin Crowley, Fred Hoffman, Michelle Hammond and Michael Lennon, and you can read all about why you should attend the event on page xx.

DMK FOUNDER ADDRESSES SKIN EXPERTS AT AN EVENT IN DUBLIN
DMK founder Danne Montague King
A DMK paramedical skincare event was held on 16 and 17 May at the Red Cow Moran Hotel in Dublin by Chleo Enterprises. Founder Danne Montague King addressed the room filled with eager, passionate and experienced skin experts. DMK’s philosophy on how it treats the skin is built on the principles of Remove, Rebuild , Protect and Maintain and its mission statement is ‘change a skin is to change a life’. DMK believes that the origin of most skin conditions is a result of disharmony within the skin. Using the principles of biochemistry, it has formulated a range of treatments and products designed to educate skin to perform like youthful healthy skin. Some of the top tips for skin therapists in Ireland that the DMK founder gave at the event include: • In Ireland we don’t charge enough in our skin clinics/ beauty salons. Our standard of therapist is very high, and education is current and superior. •
Do what you love and get really good at it, then do that thing with integrity and passion!
•
The skin therapist’s presentation and the diagnosis are
the two most powerful and impactful stages outside of the treatment. Look the part and act the part – step on your professional stage and give them a show! •
Extend the face diagnostic to the body! This can be useful in upselling treatments and products.
•
Use professional terms or technical words for know it all clients to help gain trust and showcase your expertise.
•
Watch how you recommend products at the end of your treatment. How Danne recommends homecare is like a GP: prescribe homecare like medication and act like a doctor so that your clients take you seriously. This will help clients in understanding that homecare with skin treatments is not optional, but is essential to maintain skin results and make physical changes to the skin chemistry.
PROFESSIONAL BEAUTY BELFAST EVENT RETURNS IN JUNE Professional Beauty Belfast is returning to Belfast Waterfront on 10 June.

Rasa Levinaite and Lucy Kennedy at the launch of The Wicklow Street Clinic The launch of The Wicklow Street Clinic at 13 Wicklow St in Dublin 2 took place recently. Attended by journalists, bloggers and clients, it was MC-d by TV personality Lucy Kennedy. The new, revamped premises is situated just off Grafton St and specialises in anti-ageing treatments, Eminence Organic Skincare, CACI facials, injectables (carried out by Harley St surgeon Dr Roberto Viel) and much more. Formerly The Anne McDevitt Clinic, The Wicklow Street Clinic has been a renowned skin clinic and salon catering to the needs of both women and men for over 30 years. The ethos is to prescribe the very best skincare for each client, the perfect treatment and give the best results, which means the clinic has five-star ratings across the board. “I have been the manager of the clinic for over 15 years,” said new owner Rasa Levinaite. “I’m originally from Lithuania with an accountancy background. I love the inner workings of the clinic, and have done from day one. When the opportunity to acquire the clinic was possible I was delighted to become its new owner. Nothing has changed; we’re the exact same team, carrying out the same excellent work and we elicit praise from all our clients.”

ÉMINENCE.IE LAUNCHES IN IRELAND Previously in spas and salons, Eminence has now officially launched online in Ireland through Éminence.ie, a new website where Irish Eminence fans can buy this high-end skincare brand and check out the nearest available spa or salon to have an Éminence facial, which is a sensory treatment that’s always based on a skin consultation and gives effective and long-lasting results tailored to each skin type. According to Eminence, the brand goes beyond cosmeceutical ones as it uses a form of organic chemistry to extract skin enhancing, wrinkle-reducing and radiance restoring properties from plants. It has dedicated its ranges to help every skin issue, including Irish issues like rosacea and dryness from being indoors so much. The launch took place at The Dean Hotel, Dublin 2 and was attended by industry professionals, beauty editors, journalists and beauty bloggers. Aisling O’Loughlin, who is currently collaborating with Eminence, and who is a passionate advocate for environmentally conscious skincare that works, joined international trainer Jude Herrera who flew in from Hawaii to train, entertain and educate the attendees on all things Eminence. All Éminence products take three years to get to the client. The brand believes in providing the best aesthetic care possible. All products are free from parabens, animal by-products, propylene glycol, sodium lauryl sulfates, harmful colourants and fragrances, mineral oils, petroleum, and other harsh cosmetic chemicals. Éminence also has a social conscience. Through the Éminence Kid’s Foundation, it donates organic fruits, vegetables and foods to sick children around the world.

SALON EXCLUSIVE SKINCARE and support from trusted therapists, that’s the Eden Beauty Group difference! Susan Fox founded Eden Beauty Group in 2001, and since then she has used endless skincare products and salon equipment, treated many complex skin conditions and dealt with oodles of beauty suppliers too. Every skincare product Eden distributes is tested personally by Susan and then by her team. “Salon machines and skincare ranges are trailed for over a year in our own Eden Beauty Salon and Skin Clinic before we launch them. Our in-house engineer checks all our machines for quality and reliability before they are dispatched for sale.” she explains.
Susan Fox Building up considerable hands-on expertise while working with other salons to share her knowledge and train therapists gave Susan the opportunity to set up her own salon skincare distribution service in 2003. “We have built our business on expertise, trust and friendship; with our salon clients, fellow salon managers and therapists. As we work with our skincare products and therapy machines daily, we are hands-on experts in their use and effectiveness and always at the end of the phone to support our customers queries, it is this therapist led support that our customers really value,” she says.
Eden has worked with the Spanish Skincare Brand Casmara for over 10 years. Agueda Garcia and JoseSequl started Casmara in Valencia in Spain over 40 years ago. Agueda was a beauty therapist and literally started making her products in her kitchen. It now sells in 60 countries around the world. Eden is the exclusive Irish distributor for the Casmara Skincare Salon and Home use ranges. Casmara is continually investing in skincare research and its latest innovation is cosmetic drone technology used in the Purifying Range. It is an exclusive purifying-oxygenating beauty plan that revolutionises facial skincare protocols with cosmetic drone technology and pure oxygen. The Casmara facial collection is constantly expanding and offers eco-friendly, organic and vegan ranges. Alison Canavan is a fan of the Casmara Ocean Miracle Range using only natural ingredients and silicone, paraben and alcohol-free. It has no animal or egg derivatives and has an Eco Cert, which means its ingredients are organic, natural and not tested on animals. “This facial is super effective, clean, environmentally friendly and uses the latest advances in science to deliver totally natural ingredients deeply into the skin. It is also safe for even the most sensitive skin,” says Alison.
LED Light Therapy Masks are the latest addition to the Eden Salon Equipment Range and are extremely popular due to the amazing antibacterial and anti-ageing results they deliver. The technology was originally developed by Nasa, it was noticed that astronauts working under LED in space had much faster healing properties. Studies were carried out which found that different colour LED lights penetrate to different levels in the skin and causes a range of positive effects on the skins ageing and healing processes. The Eden Led Mask was put to the test by Jennifer Rock at London Fashion Week. "I truly rate the LED mask. Primarily, I love the technology behind it and of course us ‘Nerds’ adore the connection to Nasa! For me personally, offering an antibacterial remedy that is neither chemical nor mechanical is a huge bonus for clients whose skin is prone to excess bacteria and irritation and whose skin is perhaps being over-manipulated already.
The reality is that colour attracts attention, which we witnessed tenfold at London Fashion Week. The LED Masks from Eden Beauty Group made The Skin Nerd team the stars of the show!” says Jennifer Rock, founder and CEO of The Skin Nerd. All LED masks are not made the same, so they do not deliver the same results. Check for nanometre depth levels, safely certificates, warrantees and supplier back up. As well as the Casmara Skincare Range and Eden LED Mask, Eden also distributes microneedling and microdermabrasion equipment and the AFA Skincare Range.

BE RADIANT Ultra-light all day hydration, Retinol Anti-Ageing Facial Oil multiplies the effectiveness of any daily skincare regimen and improves the way the skin appears – day and night. Apply two to three drops before any Retinol treatments, or blend with moisturiser or foundation for a visible radiance.

SERUM SKIN Paese Cosmetics’ Serum 1,5% Triple Hyaluronic Acid contains three types of hyaluronic acids, which action complement each other: Super Low Molecular Weight acid (SLMW) increases the level of moisture within the skin, Low Molecular Weight acid (LMW) moisturises the skin and increases the penetration of active substances, and High Molecular Weight acid (HMW) forms a layer on the skin surface which prevents water evaporation. Therefore the skin is well-hydrated from both inside and outside.

BAMBOO BEAUTIFUL For firm, wrinkle-free skin Bamboo Firming Fluid is the answer. The strengthening agents of bamboo and coconut deeply hydrate, with the help of a Natural Retinol Alternative from chicory root and Swiss Green Apple Stem Cells. Results are visible immediately and improve even more with continued use. Perfect for use after a highly-effective retinol alternative facial.

SPA CONSULTING, LEAVE IT TO THE PROFESSIONALS SPA IRELAND 2018
Have you ever wondered when and how to deploy a spa consultant for your proposed spa? Industry professional Neil Howard from Howard Spa Consulting gives his tips.
D uring my time as a spa consultant I
have met a large number of owners and hotel operators who have called me to meetings to discuss their proposed new spa. It's been an interesting 24 years. I thought I would use the experience gained during this time to share with you how best to deploy a spa consultant as a part of a team of project specialists. Spa consultants of course vary according to precisely the scope of services they offer, so this is the starting point. Some specialise in design services, others focus on setting up an operation, some offer both. Essentially, there will be a need for a spa specialist to understand the market and purpose; create a great concept; develop a layout that has ‘feeling’ and is better than a collection of rectangles; and ensure the operation is caring, professional and five-star. If a spa consultant can be found that can address all these aspects, the end result will benefit from continuity and an integrated approach. One trend I have seen develop recently is for owners and operators to be sold a 'one-stop solution' provided by equipment suppliers, rather than by independent spa consultants. An equipment supplier seeing an opportunity to expand their service beyond selling their equipment is unlikely to understand the whole picture as well as an ex-operator, designer, or preferably someone that has a
www.salonmagazine.ie
complete vision and skill set of how a spa feels, looks and works in operation. I have seen spa layouts devised by suppliers in conjunction with designers and frankly they are disappointing, sterile and lack operational knowledge and emotion.
“Develop a layout that has ‘feeling’ and is better than a collection of rectangles; and ensure the operation is caring, professional and five-star”
The message here is to engage the spa consultant before the planning process. Another required discipline is the interior designer, who too often is engaged prior to a spa consultant. This can result in a spa layout being developed by an interior designer that looks great on CAD; beautifully symmetrical; with attractive interior renditions; plus a ’story’, consisting of predictable components and lacking operational intelligence.
This is a worrying industry trend taking advantage of those that are new to developing a spa. While this trend is acceptable for a small residential spa, it's definitely not ideal for a larger spa project that has the potential to be one of the best spas of its type.
Again, if the spa consultant is brought in at conception they can steer the process. I often describe my initial work as creating the right animal and its skeleton: once ready, the designer and lighting consultant should dress it, but don't buy the dress and then look around for something to fit into it. Concept, components and layout should be driven by the spa consultant, not an equipment supplier, architect or interior designer, who all have crucial parts to play. The order in which the specialists are brought onto a project is as important as who they are.
Many new spas require to go through a local planning process. This automatically requires an architect to be engaged at the critical formative stage. Through the process of submitting planning approval the architect has formed the foundation for the future spa that will possess characteristics that are not feasible to undo, if a spa consultant is brought in after the planning process.
As the design and build process develops, the spa consultant acts as the ‘guardian’ of their concept, ensuring that the spa's purpose, feeling, operational practicality and profitability are all kept on track. The spa consultant should then ensure that the visit is realised in operation, not handed over to a spa manager who misinterprets all that has gone before their appointment.

EXPERT ADVICE FROM
SUNAURA
Lindsay O’Byrne, Irish trainer for Mila d’Opiz
Lindsay O’Byrne is a CIDESCO, ITEC and CIBTAC qualified beauty therapist. Having worked initially as a salon therapist, she joined Sunaura Distribution Ltd just over 20 years ago and is the salon trainer for Mila d’Opiz skincare for all of Ireland.
SPA IRELAND 2018
Lindsay’s skincare advice for salons: 1.These days, clients can easily buy their skincare online so a salon skincare brand needs to provide its savvy clients with something different – ie visible results immediately after one treatment. Look for a brand with innovative, up-to-date ingredients to get the best results, and try to keep up-to-date with the latest developments in skincare so your clients are reassured of your expertise. Personally, I would recommend Mila d’Opiz of course, because it has won several awards for its innovative cutting-edge products and the feedback we get from our salon customers is that it is highly effective. 2.The brand should also allow the therapist to fully tailor the treatment to the client’s skin. In a salon or spa with several therapists, it is important to ensure all staff fully understand the brand and how it can be tailored within the bounds of the treatment being offered. I love providing smaller, more personalised training sessions as we can suit the training to the salon, thus enabling them to provide individual prescription facials to their clients. 3.Hyaluronic acid is an important component of the natural moisturising factor in the skin barrier, so this is a great ingredient to have in as many products as possible, as it is highly effective for all skin types. Mila d’Opiz has just launched a new Hylauronic-4 line that contains four different molecular weights of hyaluronic acid to penetrate to different levels of the epidermis. 4.Part of a good skincare treatment should be advising clients on the best homecare products to continue the good work. You can greatly increase client loyalty and salon profitability if you have access to effective products. Ideally your brand should provide enough products to treat all types of skin and conditions, even if you don’t keep all of them in stock (although it’s definitely a good idea to keep the most popular ones in stock as sales are much more likely when the product is already available on your shelf). Check out the minimum order quantities and shipping details, and also check out whether samples are included free with orders or how much they will cost you. 5.There are lots of exciting new ingredients on the market, which can really make a difference to the skin. One of the best in recent years is plant stem cell technology, which allow ‘baby’ skin cells to mimic the rejuvenating properties of plants and gives much longer lasting results than other ingredients. Think of how plants grow back after pruning or injury and imagine harnessing that rejuvenation power for the skin!

SALON VOICES
ON THE CREST OF A WAVE S
hirley Feeney, owner of Shirley's Beauty Clinic in Crestfield Shopping Centre in Glanmire, Cork, was recently awarded best SME (<10 employees) at the Network Ireland Cork Branch Businesswoman of the Year Awards. Recognised for her investment in the business and adaption to new trends, she will now represent Cork at the National Network Ireland Awards. In business since 1998, she currently has a staff of 10. How have you invested in the business to make it better? I have invested everything back into my business. My girls and myself always retrain in every area of the beauty industry with the new and up and coming, whether it be products or treatments. The key to staying motivated is to upskill at every opportunity and enjoy each experience that it brings. Since April 2017, we have invested in the Nordlys System; it’s one of the best laser platforms on the market and it can treat over 24 skin concerns, such as acne, acne scarring, pigmentation, lesions, rosacea, lines and wrinkles, stretch marks, the treatment and removal of warts, verrucae, nail fungal, and so much more. We are Ireland's first clinic to have the Frax 1550. This machine has only ever been used by dermatologists in the UK. Not only that but we have also undergone major renovations from floor to ceiling, We now have six treatment rooms, a tanning room, three nail desks, a staff kitchen/storage area and a spacious reception area.
work in the salon, while both my husband and son work behind the scenes in the office. I have an excellent team of beautiful ladies who are the backbone of my business. They also love what they do and have extreme passion for the beauty industry and love to upskill. We have a great connection with our clients, whom we love and appreciate for all the loyalty that they give to us. They support me and each other and share in my passion of beauty. We cater for everyone; young, old, female or male. We attract clients who look for a friendly beauty salon with excellent services and hygiene as its priority. What are your plans for the business for the rest of the year? Making my clients who are beautiful on the inside even more beautiful on the outside. Twenty years in business this year and I am still living the dream! I am grateful for every day, let’s enjoy today and think about tomorrow when it comes!
How do you keep up with new trends? I regularly attend beauty shows and seminars in Ireland, the UK and Italy. I also do a lot of research into new products and treatments myself before introducing them to the salon. We are constantly introducing the most innovative and up-todate treatments, this is the key to running any successful business. Do you run the salon alone? No, absolutely not! I have an amazing family behind me, the late nights and endless hours of working behind the scenes are all behind running a successful business. We all have our own part to play in the business – myself and my daughter
What does the award mean to you? I was ecstatic and so overwhelmed to win. My family, my parents, my sister Jackie and her husband and my wonderful girls were all with us on the evening and it was so emotional and exciting to share this amazing award with them. I felt they won this award too as they have supported me all through the years in every way possible. We have been inundated with messages, emails and phone calls congratulating us on our win. We received gorgeous bouquets of flowers and the support from Glanmire and the wider Cork City area has been phenomenal.

‘Screen Face’: The Potential Harm That HEV Light Can Cause To The Skin by Jennifer Rock
We are well aware of the damage caused by UVA and UVB rays. As beauty professionals, we can spout out facts and figures about UVA and UVB related photodamage for days on end. HEV light, however, is a more recent concern, one of which there are few solidly conclusive studies or research papers available to us on. HEV light is known as blue light or high-energy visible light and it is a light emitted from computer screens, TVs, phones and tablets.
The fear is not of HEV light itself, it is of the possible effects on the skin, colloquially named ’screen face’. Overexposure to blue light is said to impair the skin’s barrier function which leads to premature skin ageing and some researchers have seen a correlation between blue light exposure and problems with pigmentation. Blue light is a form of visible light that is between 400 to 450 nanometres on the visible light spectrum. If you are trained in light therapy, you’ll have already come across this type of light in LED light therapy. The reason that blue light is not harmful when used in LED light therapy is because it is controlled usage, for example, for one hour a week. The issue is that people are being exposed to blue light near constantly in the era of the smartphone. If we aren’t in front of a screen at work, we’re on our phone or watching TV. I would estimate that the majority of people spend at least 10 hours per day looking at a screen of some kind. Even though the evidence on whether blue light actually causes problems with pigmentation such as hypopigmentation and hyperpigmentation or impairs the skin’s barrier function is not set in stone, I would personally believe that we should all err on the side of caution and protect ourselves from potential ‘screen face’. How do we protect our own skin and the skin of our clients from HEV-related damage? An ingredient that many cosmeceutical brands have latched on to as their blue light protectant is lutein. Lutein is a carotenoid, an organic pigment made by plants and algae.
www.salonmagazine.ie
In clinical studies, lutein has been proven to help protect the skin from visible light damage and it is also known to protect the retina when ingested in supplement form. Lutein can be applied topically, primarily in the form of HEV protectant sunscreens, and taken as a supplement. Another mode of protection is antioxidant skincare products to protect from the increased susceptibility to free radical damage caused by an impaired barrier. Ingredients like vitamin C, vitamin E and phloretin can provide the skin with defence against the environmental aggressors that lead to oxidative stress and related concerns like lax, slack skin, elastosis and pigmentation in the long term. Studies have shown so far that it is unlikely that HEV light contributes to skin cancer. When it comes to types of photoprotection in the beauty industry, in my opinion, it is still worthwhile to keep a focus on UVA and UVB protection but have an option to offer to clients who present with concerns about blue light and HEV. It is set to be a trend in skincare in 2018 and 2019 and with that it may become a greater concern of your clientele.

MAXIMISE YOUR MERCHANDISING AND INCREASE BEAUTY RETAIL SALES The sales process begins the moment your clients enter the salon or spa, not when you place the products in front of them, writes Liz McKeon. As beauty therapists, it is your professional duty to give clients the best possible recommendations on home-care products, offering the highest level of salon customer service. It’s easy to undervalue the importance of sales in a beauty salon. Start educating your clients to buy from you – as a beauty therapist, you have the training, the professional knowledge and the experience: start using it! People really enjoy spending – that’s why it’s called ‘retail therapy’! Clients have a desire to purchase new products. If you don’t seize the opportunity to sell to your clients someone else will. Next time you visit a large store, go and observe the staff at the skin-care counters at work. Just watch how many products they sell. This experience will be motivating enough for you to start selling to your clients. How to increase sales in beauty retail In your salon, create the space to sell, then maximise that space. A well-stocked salon shop will strengthen your identity. It creates awareness of your products and begins to help plant a seed that can develop a desire to buy.
Products should be accessible, clearly priced and well-positioned. Display your products soldier style so clients feel comfortable removing them. Soldier lines march out the door, pretty displays stay pretty on the shelf! Make sure your clients are able to browse, touch and pick up products. Utilise key areas such as reception desk and coffee table for impulse buys. The quality and standard of your displays should reflect the quality and standard of your salon, and the goods and services that you offer. Displays, both in the window and in-salon, can be used to convey various messages, such as promotions, a change of season, a new product or service or even a desired lifestyle. Try to create warm, positive feelings in your clients through your displays by highlighting the features and benefits of the products and services. Stock skilfully arranged on display should attract passers by, and trigger impulse purchases by creating a desire within your clients to own the goods. Develop a positive sales environment, think like a retailer and start to gain the sales that are rightfully yours!
Observe your retail displays. Make sure that retail units are well positioned in your retail area, so your clients feel comfortable to browse. Fully-stocked retail units sends the correct message to potential shoppers, that is, we are passionate and firm believers in what we are selling and we have invested in good quality products to reinforce your treatment.
For information about upcoming workshops and one-to-one mentoring, check out www.lizmckeon.com or call Liz on (01) 892 8007.
BUSTING SUNBED MYTHS Did you see our Sunbed Awareness Week campaign that ran across social media from 14–20 May? Each day a different myth was posted across supported by a video giving more information on busting that day’s myth. The response has been really quite amazing, with salons and consumers engaging on what we had identified at the top seven sunbed myths. There’s no doubt entrenched views about responsible sunbed use need to be addressed and this campaign has made a focused start on doing just that, as well as driving additional footfall into Sunbed Association member salons. Member salons are now able to reinforce these messages through their own marketing with posters, leaflets and social media imagery. People love to tan and it’s important that those who choose to tan and have no contra-indications to tanning, can do so in an environment where they will receive the correct advice and information about responsible tanning in a well maintained
and managed salon – and that is what Sunbed Association members deliver. There’s still a lot to be done to bust the myths and it’s without doubt an ongoing process that The Sunbed Association is fully committed to and, of course, the more members we have, the more we can do! For more information about responsible use of sunbeds and benefits of membership of The Sunbed Association visit www. sunbedassociation.org.uk or call Joe McGlinchey directly 0044 7553 383455.
