Once I had decided on the placement of my colour I needed to decide how and where I wanted to start with the haircut.

Using the model’s features, I created sharp and hard lines, using only my comb and a mini clipper: this gave me optimum control while still keeping the structure of the hair. I used hairspray on the surface of the hair before I went in with my clipper, as it gave me control while keeping the hair in place during the process.

When it came to the colour, I went in to pre-lightened sections and used a panelling technique framing the fringe and the underneath of the hair. I also chose to alternate three different grey pastel toners throughout the hair, to give it a multi-dimensional finish, even with the hair being styled quite smooth.

When finishing the hair, I used a comb and Denman brush in the root area as I wanted zero elevation through the fringe and root area to give the illusion that it was almost hugging the head. While finishing the mid-lengths and ends of the hair with a flexible hairspray, I used the tips of my fingers to create a fan-like shape, complementing the haircut and showing off the panelling techniques in the colour.

This look is all about focusing on blending the colour seamlessly throughout the lengths of the hair. Work on giving the roots the most intensity before subtly shifting into the lighter, warm tones on the ends.

First, apply through the roots a full head application of 6% lightener, developed for 20 minutes. Check every five minutes until a pale blonde shade is achieved.

Next, apply a full head application of 3% lightener to the lengths and ends of the hair. Let it develop until a clean lift is achieved from root to tip.

Finish with a global application of three colours; pink, orange and yellow. Blend the colours from the deeper pink at the roots, through to the lighter pink, then orange to a lighter apricot orange, through to yellow on the ends. Allow each colour to create a smudged, flowing blend. Use a dilutor to create various levels of intensity of the colours.

ROBERT’S ADVICE “Learn and take advice from everyone you can. You never stop learning as a hairdresser so absorb it all and put into practice what you learn. We are so lucky that we live in a world where trends and information are so accessible now, but my advice would still always be to go and watch hairdressers you respect and admire; you will learn new skills that will enhance your career and develop your hairdressing techniques.”

ABOUT ROBERT LOCATION: Russell Eaton Leeds and Barnsley INSTAGRAM: @robertjeaton YEARS IN THE BUSINESS: Robert has been in the industry for 20 years. The Russell Eaton brand has been going for 40 years.

TUESDAY MONDAY

My week starts off with a busy day out of the salon. I’m headed to London to spend the day with my fellow Wella Professional mentors, including Darren Ambrose and Akin Konizi, for a full day of filming video interviews and planning for TrendVision. Once we’ve wrapped up filming I dash across London to judge the L’Oréal Professionnel Colour Trophy Awards Photographic entries. After an exciting day I head back to Yorkshire ready for a week of salon commitments. /14

Today is a pretty typical day in the salon; I’m based in the Leeds salon where I’m Creative Director and run my own busy column. I love this time with my clients, creating beautiful bespoke hair for them – especially working with colour, which is a passion of mine. The afternoon is slightly different with appointments, as I use this time to focus on my Trichology services. Having this other area of expertise and focus adds a wonderful variety of of appointments to my day.

THURSDAY WEDNESDAY

Wednesday is when I’m frequently in the Barnsley salon.

This salon holds a special place in my heart as it’s where my career started. I’ve developed a wonderful column of clients over the years, some who have been with me since the very beginning.

This year is Russell Eaton’s 40th anniversary and I’m very proud to have clients who have been coming to the salon for the entire time we have been in business.

It’s another busy day at the Leeds salon. Thursdays are when myself and the team spend the morning focused on training. Depending on the week, training can be anything from sharing a new technique I’ve been working on, to running education with a Hot Tools Professional or even having Wella Professionals come in and run in-salon training on its latest products and launches.

SATURDAY FRIDAY

Most mornings I start the day with a conference call with my Dad, Russell Eaton, while I head to the salon. Fridays are always a good day to go over ideas and events that have happened throughout the week, and start planning for the following week. The day is full of appointments and general running of the salon.

I love my time spent in the Leeds salon – it’s the perfect time to be with the team. Saturdays are always busy days and no two Saturdays are ever the same. With two salons and around 45 staff there’s plenty to be working on: planning business, general management and catching up with the team.

SUNDAY

I’m currently training for a half marathon, so I make sure to fit in some running and fitness training in preparation for the main event. I’ve been running most mornings, but Sunday is when I get the most practice in. Sunday is my day off and I like to make sure I really make it a family day, spending time with them and switching off from work mode. /15

H A IR PREP

“For clients planning a holiday somewhere hot, you should prep their hair in advance. Encourage them to go for an all-over glossing and a deep moisturising treatment before they head off, and while they’re away, make sure they have the right products to protect their hair from colour fade. Tell them to wear a hat and to use a leave-in conditioner with a buillt-in SPF, such as Revlon Professional Equave. If they’re going to be swimming in the sea or in a pool, tell them to rinse their hair afterwards and to not let it dry in the sun!

NA ILING IT “Summer will be all about nudes and soft pink shades with some minimalist designs. Chrome-like finishes will stay on-trend for most of the year too. We’ll also see more neon shades, teamed with animal print or geometrical designs. Shape-wise, we’ll be sticking with a short squoval or a medium almond.” Julie-Anne Larivière, nail design expert

Upon their return, make sure they’re booked in for a trim and another glossing and deep repair treatment. Blonde clients might need toning down if they’ve brightened too much, while brunettes and redheads will need a glossing all-over to refresh any faded ends and to even out any sun-lightened areas.”

Ceri Cushen, Metropolis Hairdressing

RUSH ART TEAM

UNSPLASH.COM

“For summer we’re going to see lots of pastel brights like pink, green, blue and purple, with minimalist nail art. Stripes and block shapes on the nails using contrasting colours will make this minimalist style pop.

At London Fashion week SS18 I created some designs using a nude base with a slanted French manicure variation in a triangular shape with a pop of colour.”

Karen-Louise - session and celebrity nail artist

“For clients with unruly thick, frizzy hair or difficult curls, I recommend an intense control smoothing serum, which creates a serious shine and also smooths and moisturises, making it perfect for hair that’s exposed to the harsh rays of the sun. You only need to use a small quantity, adding it to the hair before blowdrying and again once you’ve finished.”

Steve Rowbottom, Westrow

“Crazy Color’s Rainbow Care Conditioner is a must-have for brightly coloured hair over the summer. This product is brilliant, so I recommend that clients take it with them on their hols. It helps to maintain the strength, shine and suppleness of bleached and coloured hair, and with nourishing proteins, seed oil and brazil nut oil this delicious deep conditioner is a must!”

Chris Williams, International Colour Director RUSH Hair

A BOU T FACE

“Summer is a time when clients can struggle to balance their skin, due to the sun and humidity, so facials are a great way to help them feel comfortable in their skin, especially at a time when they’re likely to be wearing less makeup. Each clients’ skin is different and facials should be tailored towards them and their skin type. We offer a fantastic range of facials that are popular due to their unique combination of active ingredients that protect and nourish the skin. The clinicallytested formulations are packed with powerful antioxidants and active vitamins which help to improve the appearance of lines, sun damage, problem skin, uneven skin tone and dryness.” Vivienne Curran, Senior Beauty Therapist at KAM UNSPLASH.COM

C A PI TA L T RE NDS “Lots of clients tend to have their hair coloured and cut just before jetting off so I always recommend that they come in at least one week prior to their trip, to allow time for the colour to settle and avoid over-exposing fresh colour. It’s also important to make sure hair is in peak condition with regular conditioning treatments both in the salon and at home ,around two months prior to their holiday, to really make sure hair is healthy and hydrated.” Dean Jones, Dean Jones Hairdressing

“For clients going away during summer, I always recommend them to book in for their haircut once they have returned. Hair can become dry due to the sun, so it’s best to get those dry, dead ends cut off, to give their hair a ‘fresh start’. As regular use of heated styling tools can cause hair colour to fade, I always suggest that clients try to avoid using them, but if they have to, they must use a heat protection spray. Wind, sun, salt and chlorine can make hair colour fade fast too, so I always suggest that clients don’t change their hair colour too drastically during summer, sticking to more easy-to-maintain shades instead. If a client does want to change their hair dramatically, be sure to recommend that they use colour-saving shampoos and conditioners to help colour last longer.” Karen Brown, Hair by JFK

“Microblading is becoming more and more of a go-to service with clients and come the summer months, it gets even more popular, as clients don’t want to worry about how their makeup looks while they’re by the pool or beach. Microblading is a fantastic alternative to HD Brows, as it’s a more long-lasting, semi-permanent treatment. It’s also water and smudge-proof, which is a great option for clients taking long summer holidays and those who are regular swimmers.”

Leah Durrant, Leah Durrant Hair Salon & Beauty Re:Treat

C A PI TA L T RE NDS

“Coloured hair is really vulnerable and prone to damage on holiday, so it’s crucial to let clients know to use an SPF before heading out into the sun and to re-apply after swimming and regularly throughout the day.” Ross Charles, Ross Charles Hairdressing

“One of the first things clients complain of in summer is that their hair becomes dull at best – dry and brittle at worst.

Ensuring the hair is hydrated is key to keeping it shiny and retaining essential moisture, which is often stripped by higher temperatures and exposure to stronger UV rays.

For hair that’s already dry, using a rich, hydrating hair mask is essential. It will drench dry hair with moisture and prevent it from becoming brittle. Clients shouldn’t wait until they’re headed off on holiday either – instead, encourage them to start a weekly hydrating routine ahead of time.” Tom O’Brien, Director, Baroque

“For summer, soft watercolour shades including light pretty pinks, peppermints and lavenders will be on-trend. Pinks in particular will be really popular, from soft pinks to bubble-gum pinks and cloudy pinks. These shades are very feminine and quite low-key, as you can still see some of the nail through the polish. Nail art and abstract/graphic designs will also become more popular, with clients looking to add flowers, lines and crystals onto their nails. Metallic shades of gold, rose gold and metallic purple are also going to be a huge hit!”

Kerry Thornhill, Leah Durrant Beauty Re:Treat "For Summer 2018, think bright colours like oranges, reds and pinks that really stand out and look gorgeous whether worn shiny or matte. Nudes are also extremely popular this season, as they give a clean, pretty finish to nails and are great for those who want their nails to match every outfit. Glitter, chrome and metallics like rose gold and silver also remain popular this season and are perfect for amping up any outfit!"

TA N N I NG TREN DS

We love the sunshine and us Brits will grab any chance to soak it up, but UV and waxing do not mix. Clients must avoid any exposure to direct sunlight after a waxing service for 24 hours and should wear loose clothing to cover waxed areas, and a hat to protect facial waxing. Also, clients should be aware not to expose areas of skin that are due to be waxed to the sun, as sunburnt skin cannot be waxed!

Warm sticky salons can cause some waxes to change in consistency and be harder to use so make sure you choose a high-quality wax that has a fast-drying time, to allow you to work quickly. Salon System Just Wax has many high-performance options that will enable you to work in all conditions with excellent results.

Summer often calls for fake tan, but it’s vital to advise your clients to avoid waxing after it’s been applied, as waxing will simply remove the top layer of dead skin cells where the fake tan sits, and their skin will end up patchy. Also, no fake tan for 24 hours after waxing.

so

Exfoliation will help with dry skin and ingrown hairs, so customers should exfoliate a few days prior to the waxing service but also regularly after the skin has settled down after waxing. It’s a good idea to put together some retail packages that clients can take away to ensure correct homecare.

It’s not just women who seek smooth, hair-free, silky skin, the growing trend for male waxing, AKA ‘manscaping’, is taking the industry by storm. Look for fast-drying, strong gripping and flexible waxes that perform well in any condition that will allow you to work quickly and effectively.

KARINE JACKSON FOR CURLFORMERS

Clients' skin will perspire and can become clammy on hot summer days, always clean the area well with a good cooling Pre-Wax Lotion and keep your treatment room cool.

“As I get to spray over 200 women a month it gives me the opportunity to assess the mood of tanning. My consultation process allows me to find the answers to the perfect and current tan people are after. Ultimately, a spray tan and self-tanning at home always come down to the occasion that they’re for.

For instance, clients venturing to warmer climates will most likely want a colour that allows them to blend in with the beach crowd, so perhaps a tan that’s darker than normal will be the perfect solution. However, the current trend is for a light, warm glow for the face – gone are the days of that overscorched self-tanned face!

GRACE DALGLEISH AT BROOKS & BROOKS

LISA STONE, WAXING SPECIALIST AND EDUCATOR, GIVES HER TOP TIPS FOR SUMMER WAXING.

ALL IMAGERY VIA JUST WAX

“Some of the key makeup trends of last year included glossy and metallic shimmers and they have moved into tanning too, with clients wanting a gorgeous sheen all over their skin. Clients are moving away from that ‘cakey’, dark-looking tan and are now after a golden, sunkissed shade that looks more natural. For this look, clients might opt for a spray tan and request a light-medium shade, or if they’re looking to tan at home, they’re likely to opt for a gradual tan, which gives more of a natural, glowy finish, compared to an instant tan which goes on quite dark.”

“Waxing isn’t for everyone, but for women who are sick of shaving or who want to feel smooth and sleek, it’s a great option for the summer months. We offer clients a variety of treatments for long-lasting hair removal, including Intense Pulse Light, a permanent hair removal solution, or waxing for a temporary option.” Vivienne Curran, KAM Hair and Body Spa

"We all tan differently in the sun so often I advise clients to find a self-tanner that suits their colouring.

Hair colour should also be taken into consideration, for example, those with ash blonde hair could try working a self-tanner into their existing moisturiser.

Just make sure your client knows to blend the product delicately into the hair line with moisturiser and to protect their brows with a barrier.

"Of course, legs are the area, no matter what your clients’ skin tone, where they can be more daring with colour. Remember to use less tanning product on moisturised ankles and feet, and for a dewy and sleek finish use a coconut or almond oil, which will also lock in the hydration and allow a longer and more even fade.” Tanning expert James Harknett Learn more by booking onto the Sienna X Tanning course at capitalhairandbeauty.co.uk/training /21

HOW TO BUILD A

C A PI TA L ISSU E S /22

ACCORDING TO THE UNITED NATIONS, BY THE YEAR 2100 THERE WILL BE MORE THAN 10 BILLION PEOPLE LIVING ON EARTH. THE RISE IN POPULATION MEANS THERE WILL BE MORE DEMANDS ON ENERGY AND SUPPLIES. WHILE IT MIGHT SEEM FAR AWAY FOR YOU, THIS IS THE WORLD THAT YOUR CHILDREN AND THEIR CHILDREN WILL INHERIT, SO WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP? THE BEAUT Y INDUSTRY – AND HAIR SALONS IN PARTICULAR, DUE TO THE CHEMICALS USED – COULD PLAY A HUGE PART IN REVERSING THE DAMAGE THAT PLASTICS AND OTHER WASTE PRODUCTS HAVE DONE TO THE ENVIRONMENT. WE SPOKE TO THREE SALONS TO FIND OUT WHAT THEY’RE DOING TO MAKE THEIR BUSINESS MORE SUSTAINABLE AND RESPONSIBLE. FIRST UP, WE CAUGHT UP WITH LONDONBASED SALON OWNER KARINE JACKSON, WHO CREDITS HER LONGTERM COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY TO HER CHILDHOOD IN AUSTRALIA. THAT COMMITMENT HAS LED TO KARINE’S SALON BECOMING LONDON’S FIRST CERTIFIED SUSTAINABLE SALON. YOUR SALON HAS ALWAYS BEEN KNOWN FOR ITS USE OF ORGANIC COLOUR PRODUCTS, BUT WHAT MADE YOU FULLY FOCUS ON GOING SUSTAINABLE? KARINE: Growing up in Australia in the eighties, we went through a water drought – an 11-year drought. So as a kid, we had to recycle everything. We just didn’t have the resources.

They’ve probably had worse droughts since, but they now have the resources.

I remember when I first came to the UK, 27 years ago, and recycling was non-existent. I couldn’t believe it! In Australia we would have a waste bin, a garden waste bin, a recycling bin, so it was drummed into me. Today, water wastage really bugs me. I really try and explain to my team, so that they don’t just think we’re trying to save money! I try to educate them on the fact that, the more water we use, the more space we have to create to store it, which means displacing wild life, removing forests, so these reservoirs get bigger and bigger. If my team understands why we’re doing something, they’re far more likely to get on board. This message is not new to my team; I’ve been saying it for years.

WHAT ARE THE MAIN FORMS OF WASTE THAT THE AVERAGE SALON PRODUCES? KARINE: Colour! Cotton wool, things like that – they all get mixed together and can create a kind of fur ball. We did an experiment a while back to

see how much colour we wasted. We made sure the team could see and we’ve all since made a lot more effort, and many of the staff end up taking this way of thinking home.

WHAT’S THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE YOU’VE FACED? KARINE: My local council of Westminster!

It’s just not good at recycling. Other areas like Hackney are so good – you can recycle anything – but here, if you put one thing in the wrong bag, they just won’t take it away.

WHAT OTHER TWEAKS CAN SALONS MAKE TO SAVE RESOURCES? KARINE: Use eco towels to clean up after you’ve used them on clients rather than chucking them straight in the bin. Honestly, switching to Easydry Towels has halved our water and electricity bills.

Using these towels also frees up time, as no-one needs to fill up the washers and dryers. These towels also make great additions to your compost heap as they break down over time.

Turn the electricity off, use LED lightbulbs. Don’t keep the lights on overnight. Our new thing is focusing on plastic – it’s everywhere. We’re slowly trying to change. We won’t be doing water bottles anymore; instead we’ll supply filtered water alongside glasses that can be used over and over. If clients want sparkling water, we’ll offer it in cans over plastic.

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO THE MANUFACTURERS OF HAIR AND BEAUTY PRODUCTS? KARINE: Stop using so much packaging! I saw a hairdryer the other day, packaged in so much plastic; it really wasn’t necessary. The message needs to come from the product companies – they need to step up. *If you want to know more about Sustainable Salon Certification, visit ecohairandbeauty.com

step 4 Put in first guideline with the Wahl Cordless Detailer, following the natural curve of the head. Create a second guide line with the Wahl Cordless Senior grade 1 up to the temple peak, bringing it low at the back beneath the occipital bone.

step 2

Use the taper arm of the Wahl Cordless Detailer to blend away between the 0 and 0.5, switching between open and close.

step 5 Finish the edges of the haircut with the Wahl Finale using paintbrush motions, ensuring a smooth blend. If lines persist to show, try using the finale with the grain to get a softer finish over those hard to blend areas.

Use the 1.5 grade of the Wahl Cordless Senior and erase the top line by using a rubbing technique with the blade flush to the scalp.

step 3

step 6 Use the 0.5 grade of the Wahl Cordless Senior to erase the bottom line, opening and closing the taper arm. Work on this line only all the way round.

Taper the sides and top of the haircut to desired shape with clipper over comb, then blow dry and style as required.

NEXT, PERRY PATRASZEWSKI, DIRECTOR AT BLUE TIT LONDON SHARES HIS ECO SALON TIPS. At Blue Tit, we currently have eight sustainable salons across East and South London and strive to ensure that we do everything in our power to comply with our eco ethos throughout the company as a whole. When it comes to building our salons we make sure that the materials we use are recycled, so it really is from the ground up that we strive to care about the environment.

For example, our Brixton salon features up-cycled workstations, made from heavy industrial metal. When redesigning your salon interior or adding additional design features to your salon, look at ways you can recycle old materials, look for second-hand furniture, and work closely with furniture providers, interior designers and architects who have previous experience in using reclaimed materials and up-cycling.

The theme of recycling runs throughout all of Blue Tit’s salons.

It’s also important to make the most of any natural light in your salon. This can substantially reduce your electricity bill. If you’re redesigning a salon try to find ways of incorporating more natural light. In our Brixton salon, one of the design features is a huge skylight above the shampoo area. It’s calming for the clients, looking up at the blue sky as they have their hair washed, and the natural light comes in and floods the salon.

At night, it doubles up as an effective light feature, reflecting outside lights back in to the salon. The natural light is also perfect for

client colour, too. Be sure to keep windows clean, to thoroughly maximise the natural light and remember that lighter colours throughout the salon, as well as plenty of mirrors, will also help to make the most of any existing natural light within the salon.

Ensure your salon design is time-proof; buying items made to last is the simplest way

to cut down on waste and save the energy required to dispose of them. Disposal of items will of course, become inevitable at some point, so where possible, recycle everything used in the salon. Equip your salon with recycling bins. Keep separate bins for paper, plastics, glass, hair-colouring tubes and foils for meches. Separating rubbish can be confusing at first, but soon becomes a habit. > /25

> HOW

TO SAVE ON WATER AND ELECTRICITY It’s inevitable that you will require artificial lighting, so choose LED light-bulbs, instead of standard ones. LED lights reduce your electricity bill and your impact on the environment, too. It should also go without saying that you must turn off any lights when they aren’t in use and the same applies to heated appliances, too.

When it comes to washing your towels and linens, wait until your washing machine is full before you run it. Wash everything in cold water. We use Eco-Ball Wash Balls as a washing powder alternative, which has cut costs on washing powder by 2,000 percent. The natural, no-chemical washing powder replacements are environmentally friendly, efficient and cost effective, and one ball lasts between four and six months.

“If we can make our clients beautiful, as well as the planet, then it’s an absolute win for us.”

Part hair centrally and pull back into a low ponytail at the nape of the neck. Begin to wrap the length of the hair around the hairband until a bun forms and pin in place with grips. Don’t aim for perfection with this style: this is cool-girl hair at its easiest. Finish by drizzling a little hair oil along the parting before sprinkling with glitter.”

Lidia Patrizia, Stylist, Blue Tit Brixton

SPACED OUT

“A huge trend for clients coming into festival season is space buns. This hairstyle is great for clients who love quirkier, more edgy looks and also want to keep their hair off their face for the event. To create this look, start by using a comb to create a middle parting.

Then separate the hair into two ponytails at each side of the head and, taking one ponytail at a time, twist the hair, rolling it up into a bun before securing with a hair tie. Once you’ve done this on each side, complete the look with a finishing spray, serum or oil to get rid of any flyaways and keep the hair looking neat and tidy. I always recommend clients take a serum or oil with them when attending a festival too, as they help styles last longer.

Clients can sleep with their style still in place and simply wake up in the morning and apply some product to revive the look. “ Karen Thomson, KAM Hair and Body Spa KAM HAIR AND BODY SPA

“When it comes to festival hair, the only real limitation is your imagination – anything goes. Glitter isn’t ideal for everyday life but a festival is the perfect time to indulge in some sparkle. Glitter buns really took off last summer, but we predict more of the same this year. Low-slung, messy buns are this year’s take on the messy topknot – super stylish in a nonchalant way and very practical for festivals as your clients won’t need a mirror, brush or steady hand!

“After a few days at a festival, hair ends up pretty dirty and greasy, which makes braids a perfect option, thanks to their versatility. Braids are easy to create and work even better on hair that hasn’t been washed.

Give braids a 2018 update by making them multicoloured. Add bright and bold streaks of colour – permanent, temporary or via extensions – for a truly standout look.” Chloe Herve, Blue Tit Clapton

“Bohemian waves are a great look for clients who want on-trend festival hair.

This look is very natural and relaxed, with just a little volume and a soft cascading wave – it’s great for festivals as it’s effortlessly chic and looks great with a fedora hat! To get the look, start by spraying the hair with a heat-activated texturiser for added hold. Then, using curling irons, create the waves, starting a few inches away from the scalp to allow the wave to fall more naturally, and leaving an inch or so at the ends straight, to elongate the shape and make it feel more bohemian than glamorous. Work in similar sized sections, allowing the hair to twist naturally as you go around the head and spray each section with heat-activated texturiser as you go.

Once finished, it’s important to run your fingers through the hair to break up and relax the curls. Finally, finish with a spritz of hairspray to hold the waves in place all day long.” Neil Barton, Goldwell Ambassador

The Festival Braid

TIGI TEA M FESTI VA L FAV ES

The TIGI team talks us through their top 2 festival looks – the braid and the free wave.

Braids are the ultimate festival look, but we’re not talking boring braids, we’ve created a braid with attitude. Clients headed to a summer event will love our Festival Braid.

HOW TO Run one pump of After Party through dry hair to smooth and remove flyaways. Section the hair from the front of the hairline, near the temple, in a curving C section, ending at the nape on both sides of the head. You now have three sections. Create a three-strand plait in each section, using a little After Party to control frizz and add shine. Hide the bottom of the middle strand by pinning it into the nape. Backcomb the ends of the other two plaits to give the look some attitude!

The Free Wave

NOT YOUR

BEACH

Here’s another TIGI festival fave, the double bun!

Sun, sea, sand and hot city nights can cause hair havoc!

Our other fave look is all about awesome waves. The Free Wave lets hair hang loose and will definitely appeal to your clients who’ve been hiding their inner-bohemian.

HOW TO Prime hair with Bed Head Ego Boost Split End Mender, to give it some extra conditioning power. Then liberally spray Superstar Queen for a Day throughout the hair from roots to ends, to add volume. Rough dry to remove excess moisture and comb through to detangle.

Next, use a medium round brush and section by section, blowdry the hair smooth, twisting each section to create movement. Once all of the hair is dry, take large sections and tong the hair loosely towards the face to create separation. Leave hair to cool, then spritz with Headrush from mid-lengths to ends. To finish, blast through with the hairdryer to give a loose finish. /32

Bed Head’s TOTALLY BEACHIN’ range doesn’t just protect you from sea,sand and extra strong rays, it also fights city frizz and lank locks. In fact it will get you out of any tangle.

So get your salon and clients ready and have a Totally Beachin’ summer!

SOCIAL MEDIA IS OFTEN SEEN AS THE DOMAIN OF THE YOUNG, BUT IN 2018, IT’S CLEAR THAT ANYONE WHO IS REMOTELY BUSINESS-MINDED MUST GET ON BOARD. SOPHIA HILTON AND HER SALON, NOT ANOTHER SALON, HAS BECOME INTERNATIONALLY RENOWNED, WITH SOCIAL MEDIA PLAYING A MAJOR ROLE IN THAT EXPOSURE. HERE SOPHIA BREAKS DOWN WHAT YOU REALLY NEED TO KNOW, IN ORDER TO SURVIVE IN THE DIGITAL JUNGLE. BREAK IT DOWN FOR US: WHY SHOULD ANY SALON BE ON SOME SORT OF SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM IN 2018?

SOPHIA: Because it's free advertising. I've never had to pay for anything and it's given me a constant flow of new clients.

ANNE VECK

HOW MUCH TIME SHOULD A SALON SPEND ON THEIR SOCIAL MEDIA EACH WEEK? SOPHIA: At least an hour a day. And don't just hand it over to an assistant! Just because its more their era than yours does not mean they are the right person to do it. They might understand hashtags but they don't understand branding, advertising and your company like you do. There is no excuse. Sit and learn it every night for as long as it takes.

IF A SALON HAS TIME TO DEDICATE TO JUST ONE FORM OF SOCIAL, WHICH PLATFORM WOULD YOU SUGGEST AND WHY? SOPHIA: It depends on the age of the client base. For a younger audience you’re best to stick with Instagram; for older it's all about Facebook.

DID YOU HAVE A FOLLOWERS GOAL FOR NOT ANOTHER'S INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT? SOPHIA: Not really. I'd quite like to be the most followed in the UK and not the second.

We became the most followed salon without a consumer product line after only six months. I'm really proud of that.

WHAT DO YOU PUT NOT ANOTHER'S MASSIVE INSTAGRAM FOLLOWING DOWN TO? Constantly focusing on it. We tend to succeed at life in things that we put the most effort into. I always put my time into it. Truth is, I don't really like social media, but it's a business tool, and I love business.

I’ve studied it so hard, for so long I’ve now launched a course solely on social media happening on July 2nd. It's a whole day of education on how to turn your personal or salon page completely around. Check out www.notanotheracademy.com if you want more details. It’s going to be my biggest event of the year with over 200 people!

I' d rather get digital platforms like the 'INSIDER' to make a video on us that goes viral, than have an inch in Vogue.

WHY ISN’T THERE A TWITTER ACCOUNT FOR NOT ANOTHER? SOPHIA: I deleted us. There’s no point being on a platform if you are not going to put effort into it, and I wasn't. Twitter isn't a visual platform so it’s not best suited for hairdressers.

IS IT TIME FOR SALONS TO START DIVIDING THEIR ANNUAL PR BUDGET (IF THEY HAVE ONE) TO ACCOMMODATE SPEND ON SOCIAL PROMOTION? SOPHIA: No, you don't need money, you just need time.

IS SOCIAL MEDIA/SOCIAL PR MORE VALUABLE TO YOU THAN BEING SEEN IN PRINT? SOPHIA: Absolutely, I'd rather get digital platforms like the 'INSIDER' to make a video on us that goes viral, than have an inch in Vogue.

YOU CA N’ T DO IT A LL

Don’t think that you have to be present on every platform. If you feel your brand sits best on Facebook, and that’s where your audience is, then there’s no need to be on Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest too. If you have the content and resources to have a presence on all platforms then great, but it doesn’t have to be all or nothing.

Trevor Sorbie

@TREVORSORBIESALON However, to be more targeted, consider investing some time and money into paid social campaigns. These will allow you to 'boost' content so that it reaches your specified audience. For example, you can choose for your post to be seen by people within a certain radius of your salon, of a certain gender and age, or with specific interests. This targeted marketing is fantastic to help you reach an active audience, who you can then convert into clients.

Trevor Sorbie

INSTAGR AM IS A HAIRDRESSERS’ DREAM

Social media – Instagram in particular – is a medium that could have been designed for hairdressers; it’s all about the visuals and sharing creativity, and that’s what you’re doing in the salon all day, every day. It’s also one of the few existing ways of providing marketing for free; you can present your business precisely as you want it to be seen, with full creative control, to a global audience obsessed with beauty and finding new names to get excited about. What could be better? For example, if you want to make a name for yourself as a salon that specialises in colour correction, you can post makeovers on your feed, videos on your Instagram Stories and inspiring quotes about transformation. You might still be doing regular cuts and blowdries in the salon, but you can promote yourself however you wish online and build a reputation accordingly.

At Indola, we consider ourselves colour experts who are inspired by streetstyle. As such, we post lots of professional colour,

With nearly 15,000 Twitter followers, over 5,000 Facebook fans and almost 2,000 Instagram followers, at Westrow, our social media strategy ensures that we can keep our audience engaged, whether that’s through photos or snippets of advice. Colourists should therefore use the fast, immediate nature of social media to their advantage to provide their clients with up-to-the-minute information. Our social media team is also sent backstage images and details from our Senior Colourists attending key industry events, such as the L’Oréal Colour Trophy, so they can take control of the delivery of information and provide this to our clients, and the people who follow us, as ‘exclusive news’. With clients receiving on-trend, hot off the press colour images online, they feel confident to ask for the colour in-salon, knowing the colourist is an expert in their field and knows the latest trends and colour techniques.

We also make sure to use pictures in almost every post, as visuals always reach the best engagement. We also try to keep the words used to a minimum as it can put off viewers.

WHY YOU

FREE ADVERTISING?

With social media I think we would all like it to directly be bringing in thousands of pounds a month, as it feels like it takes so much energy and creativity! Realistically, we know that it’s actually a great way to advertise our brand to prospective guests, as well as remind our current loyal following why they choose to spend their money with us. We work in an amazing industry that’s perfect for sharing via social media – we can show off everything we do, which is 99 percent visual, to thousands of people for no essential cost. What we do have to do is make it interesting. We rebranded our social media 12 months ago and it has gone from strength to strength; we’re known for what we are really good at and getting the stylists involved means that new guests are calling to book in with a particular stylist who they already feel they know, and trust.

Social media isn’t guaranteed to start making you money directly, but putting your brand at the fingertips of potential customers every day will. Kain Lawrence, Q Hair and Beauty

HERE ARE SOME OF OUR OTHER MICROBLADING COURSE TRAINEES’ THOUGHTS… Amazing!

I did my course with Jan in Wolverhampton. I had an amazing time learning in the two-day course. It was very informative, with Jan being motivating and encouraging at all times. I would 100 percent recommend this course.

She's still there to keep in check with me regarding my case studies. An amazing course overall! Sadiqa INCOME – AND SELF-BELIEF – INCREASED Really enjoyed doing this course at Capital’s Croydon store. Michele was very professional and has very good teaching skills that enabled me to understand, take in and remember the information given. Michele really helped to build my confidence and make me believe in myself. I have done many beauty courses and Michele is the most lovely and professional teacher I have had by far. This course has enabled me to increase my income dramatically and I really am glad I decided to do it, as I feel it's really changed our business intake. Karen

R E VO L U T I O N

First up, here’s a Q&A with Croydon-based Michelle Jeffrey Bailey.

Michelle runs the Beauty Bay.1 beauty salon, and attended our Microblading course when it first launched, with zero prior knowledge.

HAVE YOU HAD YOUR OWN BROWS MICROBLADED BEFORE? Yes. WHAT WERE THE MAIN THINGS YOU HOPED TO GAIN FROM THE CLASS? I really wanted to bring up a strong foundation of knowledge and understanding of what Microblading fully entails.

DID THE CLASS MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS? Yes, it was brilliant!

WILL YOU BE ADDING MICROBLADING TO YOUR OWN SERVICE MENU? Yes, I’ve already gone ahead and done it.

WHAT WAS THE BEST THING ABOUT THE COURSE? The teacher, Michele Harding-Maher, and her amazing teaching skills.

HOW ELSE HAS THE COURSE IMPACTED YOUR WORKING LIFE? I also now offer a free Microblading service once a month, for recovered cancer patients.

This is only possible because of this course and I’m so glad that I can help people in this way. I am very happy to recommend this course to anyone else who is considering it.

For more information visit capitalhairandbeauty.co.uk/training

BRILLIANT I attended the first two days of the Microblading course at the Gillingham branch and Michele, the trainer, was really informative. I learnt more than I thought I would, and by the second day I managed to complete two sets of eyebrows, something I was really proud of. I would 100 percent recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn the skill – the fact that you get a kit included within the price is amazing.

I can't wait to do more brows! Kaye

WHAT WAS YOUR AIM WHEN IT CAME TO THE LOOK OF THE SALON? We wanted the salon to feel luxurious and classical at the same time with the best quality furniture and fittings.

DID YOU HAVE A CLEAR IDEA OF THE ACTUAL LOOK, COLOUR SCHEME, ETC? Yes, right from the beginning we knew that, being an Aveda salon, we wanted to incorporate some botanical prints via the wall coverings, all while maintaining the concept of a luxury salon.

WHAT WAS THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE YOU FACED? One of the biggest issues was getting the furniture to the correct floors. We are situated in a listed building and as the only way to get from floor to floor is via a spiral staircase, we had to plan everything right from the beginning.
