012 has been an eventful year.

There have been some amazing highs (the Olympics and Diamond Jubilee) and some terrible lows (saying goodbye to Vidal Sassoon). So as we come to an end of one of Britain’s most important years in modern times, we’ve put together a special commemorative feature – starting on page 52 – looking back on some of the news that shook the industry.

While we’ve been remembering the past 12 months, looking ahead to a bright future also played a pivotal role in devising the contents for this issue. As the industry waits with baited breath to hear the results of this year’s British Hairdressing Awards later this month, we wanted to offer some inspiration for those contemplating entering any competition in 2013. And what better way than by picking the brains of some previous winners? From finding the best models on a budget to masterminding an original idea that will really make your entry standout, turn to page 48 to learn some winning tips from the best of the best.

But before we welcome in the New Year, Christmas is nearly here. And the entire month of December provides a throng of opportunities for all salons. By the time you read this, clients will have already began their festive shopping and the party season will be in full swing. With this in mind, we’ve endeavoured to help inspire your creatively this month with a range of easy-read pieces including our annual festive feature on hot

Christmas party looks. Turn to page 38 to discover the quick-fix hair and beauty treatments that should be on your menu.

Speaking of quick fixes, we’ve also been on the hunt this month for the industry’s best facials that offer surgery-inspired results using a non-invasive approach. Hi-tech beauty services are essential for a successful modern day salon menu and unlike the yesteryear, such treatments are no longer the reserve of clinics and doctors. With advancements in products and technology, it’s now possible to offer real alternatives to injectables and facelifts inside your own salon. Turn to page 30 to find out our pick of the advanced beauty industry’s top ten.

Last but by no means least, salon owner Stuart Holmes also gives some great tips this month in his column on how to beat a Christmas hangover and avoid the January blues. While many businesses believe that the New Year sales period is synonymous with the retail industry, he reveals how his team has borrowed the concept and given it a salon industry twist to guarantee a healthy start to 2013.

So for now, from the entire team at The Salon Magazine, we hope you have a very merry Christmas and an even more wonderful New Year. See you in January!

iving clients something out of the ordinary that’s in keeping with December’s quick-fix party mantra can really help raise extra interest during the festive season. And a key trend that’s been steadily gaining in momentum for the past few years is a party pop-up bar service. One such salon that’s tapping into demand is Ishoka Hair and Beauty in Aberdeen. The company has introduced Style Bars at both of its salons offering a choice of six party hairstyles – including curls and glamorous up-dos – for £25 each. Clients are asked to wash and blow-dry their hair at home before their appointment – speeding up the service and keeping the price affordable.

Hairpieces are also a stylist kit musthave for the festive season. Offering impressive results in super quick time, Additional Lengths has launched its Instant Beehive (RRP £7.99) and Instant 1.

Weave (RRP £140) to add volume and bounce to natural hair (Additionallengths. co.uk). Likewise, Balmain Hair’s synthetic B-Loved clip-in piece (RRP £39.99), which comes in nine shades, adds instant volume to the crown and can be applied as part of a professional service in the salon (Tel: 0800 781 0936).

Meanwhile, treatments that improve the general condition of the hair are popular over the Christmas period. And they’re a great option for salon owners as they can often be applied at the backwash while bumping up the final cost of your client’s bill. Westrow, which runs seven salons across Yorkshire, has added a range of Kerastase rituals to its menu all aptly named for Christmas. Clients can choose from four two-phase prescriptive services – including The Snowball for thirsty locks and Star Shine for a sparkling finish – from £13 each. Menus promoting the offer have been placed at each styling station as well as on the group’s in-salon televisions to drive interest and boost sales.

TREND: VINTAGE STYLE Christmas is all about highoctane glamour. And this year, drawing inspiration from vintage looks is sure to please clients.

Zoe Irwin, session stylist and creative director at ghd, says ‘30s influenced curls are “very now at the moment.” She suggests blowdrying the hair in sections from the root using volumising products (such as ghd Style Total Volume Foam and Root Lift Spray) and then using a ghd styler to create curls. These can be secured with bobby pins for longer lasting results and dressed using fingers to create tight, polished curls with volume and shine (Tel: 0845 330 1133).

Luminous skin

hile sunless tanning is often reserved for summer, many salons see a bookings boost at Christmas time as clients contemplate baring skin in their seasonal LBDs. Fasttrack tanning is an ideal option to offer busy clients throughout December as the results can often be seen in super speedy time. Viesha’s natural and organic professional Express Tan solution contains naturally derived DHA and erythulose to offer a hydrating and natural looking glow in less than two hours (Tel: 07003 451 155 Viesha.co.uk).

How to win industry competitions, obtaining email addresses for salon marketing and making the most of the January sales

Competition fever W

inning industry competitions is the stuff dreams are made of. The right accolade can open the doors to streams of opportunities; even adding ‘award winning’ to the beginning of a name is a guaranteed money-spinner. So this month, we’ve asked the industry’s most successful competitors to dust off their trophy cabinet and spill the beans on what makes a winner…

ways to win industry competitions Swot up on these top expert tips to make 2013 your year as a winner DON’T EXPECT TO WIN THE FIRST TIME Entering industry competitions can be an expensive and time consuming process.

However, rather than focusing on winning the first time you enter, use the experience to hone your skills and learn about competing. Hob Salons’ Akin Konizi, who has won British Hairdressing’s British Hairdresser of the Year for three years in a row, says: “Do not expect to win the first competition you enter. Sometimes simply putting your entry together is the growth you need to see what it takes to win. You must have determination and be prepared to work very hard to gain any title.”

LOOK OUTSIDE FOR INSPIRATION In creative competitions, creating an awe-inspiring look that stands out from thousands of other applicants is imperative. And while looking to industry peers for inspiration is a great resource, those that win have often created something completely different. Cutting Room Creative’s Charles and Karen Dodds, who have won a whole host of awards including a place in British Hairdressing’s Hall of Fame, Fellowship Salon Group of the Year and Mizani Catwalk Image of the Year, recommend looking outside of the box: “For all our winning shoots we looked outside hairdressing for imagery that inspired us.

This included film, theatre, fashion and even architecture as we nearly always use different backdrops for our images. Our favourite shoot – which won out third BHA – was shot on location in a burnt out loft.”

BE ORIGINAL If you don’t have thousands of pounds to invest in a shoot – don’t be deterred. It isn’t necessarily about how much budget you have to spend but

48 | www.thesalonmagazine.co.uk

often more about creating an original idea. “Winning isn’t about throwing money at a photo shoot,” says Zullo and Holland’s Angelo Vallillo, who won this year’s Hair Magazine Salon Stylist award and East Midland Salon of the Year 2012.

“Absolutely, you need the best model you can afford, but you also need to look forward and innovate. Don’t copy, instead be creative; play to your strengths so you are confident enough to let the creativity flow and then you will produce something beautiful and original.”

DO YOUR RESEARCH The best competitors always spend months researching ideas and planning their entry. Whether you’re competing in a live competition, creating a photographic entry or putting together a written salon portfolio, it always pays to invest heavily in preparation time. Sean Hanna’s Skyler MacDonald, who has previously won British Hairdressing’s London Hairdresser of the Year and a Creative Head Most Wanted award, says: “I always dedicate time to exposing myself to influences and references that

could be relevant to my shoot. I tend to work with multiple mood-boards – so one for hair, one for make up, one for styling and another for photographic references. A huge amount of research is now done online of course but I still print off my references.” Robert Masciave, owner of Metropolis and past winner of the L’Oreal Colour Trophy, also recommends researching the competition itself thoroughly. He says: “Entering competitions is a complex process which needs a lot of attention to detail. You need to know the competition inside out – I always look back on past winners and entries making notes of all the details including clothes, models and make-up artists.”

CAST THE PERFECT MODEL Choosing the best model – within budget – is one of the most important aspects of creating a winning photographic entry.

And while the best of the best can cost thousands of pounds, it is possible to find ‘new faces’ that still offer a high fashion look and want to build their portfolio

BUSINESS for little or no cost. “When it comes to choosing models I get inspiration from the latest fashion runways,” says Masciave.

“You can’t go wrong if you follow the top designers’ lead.” Bob Salon’s Roberto Schirru, winner of this year’s L’Oreal Colour Trophy Men’s Image Award, adds: “Your model is key so street cast all the time and ensure that they’re available for each part of the competition. Once you’ve researched your look ensure that it’s right for them as it’s essential that they’re comfortable in the styling and can carry it off with confidence.”

CHOOSE THE BEST TEAM Selecting the right people to make your creative vision happen is essential when entering competitions – particularly in the photographic variety when winning doesn’t just rest on your own area of expertise. “Having the right team around you makes a huge difference,” says MacDonald. “I ideally try and get the very best experts in each field that I am working in. They need to be focused on helping you achieving the best images – it has to matter to them as much as it does to you. Each person has to completely understand what the outcome should be – this is why the mood boards are so important so you can visually engage everyone.”

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT It may seem like an obvious recommendation, but practising and perfecting every look you are going to submit is essential for ensuring you’re the very best you can be for any competition.

Akin konizi says: “Prepare all of your looks.

WELLA PROFESSIONALS

Make sure you know how to get to the final result and that you’re skilled enough to create the best possible styles. Practice, practice, practice!”

PLAN EVERY SHOT FIRST In photographic competitions, having a pre-planned idea of how every shot will look can make it easier to achieve the results you want. “A lot of people shoot their look and then try and work out how it should look; but as much as possible, I try to plan out exactly what my end shot will look like,” says MacDonald. “This includes the angle, the mood, how I will print it and how I will crop it before I even start the shoot. It doesn’t always go to plan but things definitely go better when I have the focused direction before I commence shooting.”

GIVE YOURSELF PLENTY OF TIME Rather than making a snap decision about entering an award, the experts recommend planning early for the best

results. And this is highly important in competitions that warrant written entries with portfolios and supporting evidence.

“Like a cheese, an entry takes time to mature and develop into something tasty for the judges,” says salon owner Barrie Stephen, who has won a range of accolades including Best Local Salon at the Hair Magazine Awards and British Hairdressing’s Best Retail Salon. “Choose your category well in advance and for six months prior to the deadline purposely tailor all your PR and salon activity to support the entry criteria so you have examples for the judges. Thinking early will also give you time to collate testimonials, interview the team for quotes, and get information from accountants – especially if it’s a business-themed entry – to really make sure your submission is robust in every way.”

SET GOALS If you give yourself enough time, setting goals to ensure your entry is the best it can be will help give you the best possible chance of winning. Rainbow Room International’s George Square, who recently led the team to victory at Creative Head’s Most Wanted Awards with Best Salon Team as well as Salon Team of the Year at the British Hairdressing Business Awards, says: “Set your team goals bearing in mind the criteria for the awards you are looking to enter. You know if the award is looking for growth and marketing evidence then this is something you must work on. And monitor your goals throughout the year – make sure and look back at what you have achieved and what is still need to be done.”

BE INNOVATIVE GOLDWELL

Even if you’re entering a business

www.thesalonmagazine.co.uk | 49

BUSINESS competition, there’s no reason why you can’t still be creative with your submission.

After all, you still need to stand out among lots of other salons. Angelo Vallillo says: “Some competitions are written entries and that can be a bit intimidating.

But if you are going beyond the norm, producing beautiful work, contributing to your local community and educating the young, then shout about it in your entry.

It’s an opportunity to tell the industry why you are doing so well. Get help with the writing, be innovative with the layout, use pictures to illustrate and get testimonials from clients and peers.”

CHOOSE TALENTED TEAM MEMBERS Salon owners that have talented creative team members should encourage them to enter awards that suit their skill set. While winning accolades as a salon is valuable, pushing the best members forward will still raise your business profile while boosting team morale. “Winning awards can really raise your profile internally and externally,” says Sally Montague, director at the eponymous hair group. “Angel MontagueSayers, who won the Fashionista award in Creative Head’s 2012 It List, has secured an agent and her own course with L’Oreal – bringing editorially-inspired hair to the salon – since winning the award. But none of this happens by chance and if you’re going to enter or put one of your staff forward for an award, it’s important to ensure that they have the discipline to really make it work for the business if they’re successful.”

PREPARE TO SUCCEED Particularly during live competitions where your work and the end result will be scrutinised by judges in the flesh, preparation is absolutely vital. Without it you won’t be able to compete to your highest standards, so there is no point in trying to cut corners. Nail Harmony UK’s MD George Smedley, who has won various nail industry accolades over her career and also judges competitions, says: “Everything has to be meticulously planned from start to finish. This includes what’s in your kit, your model, your technique and your competition design; and then practice, practice, practice and when you think you’re through with practising, practice some more. You also need to include an understanding of the

50 | www.thesalonmagazine.co.uk

competition rules in your preparation.”

FOCUS ON DETAILS When it comes to creative competitions, it’s important to do your homework. “Our winning entry this year for the L’Oreal Colour Trophy was classic, clean, forward-thinking and luxurious,” says Westrow’s director Steve Rowbottom. “However we backed this up with extensive fashion and colour knowledge and offered the judges an unique insight into the Westrow world with a specially designed book charting the journey of the team, their inspirations and how they achieved their look. It’s the details that count, and by offering a 360-degree view of your entry, judges can fully engage with your thought process and gain a thorough understanding of you and your business.”

INVEST IN A CAMERA In today’s fast-paced and highly visual world, a decent camera that can document all your business highs is one of the best investments you can make for winning competitions. “Always have a camera with you and keep a spare one in the salon too so you can log everything,” says Stephen. “This includes the big events, the great photo opportunities with clients and the more spontaneous daily moments which can give an amazing insight into salon life. Visuals bring an entry to life and it’s not all about the words.

A brilliant photo can communicate so much.”

GET A SECOND OPINION Everyone has an opinion and even if they don’t know much about hair and beauty, friends and family members can be a great resource to bounce ideas. “Nonsalon professionals are great when it comes to awards,” says Stephen. “Invite friends to read your entry and ask for their input and opinions. You want to get the message across to the judges quickly and succinctly in an appealing way, so outside feedback is really good for keeping you on track. If a person from outside of the industry understands and likes it then you know you’ve done your job.”

SELECT THE RIGHT COMPETITION Winning high profile awards are great for any business. But picking and choosing

GOLDWELL

the right competitions that will help you reach your business goals mean any financial investment is hopefully money well spent. “Home in on what is best for your business before deciding which competitions you’re going to do,” says Vallillo. “If you want to attract more male clients, then target men’s competitions.

If you want to build your relationship with your supplier, invest in entering their competitions. Focusing on the end result makes it easier to formulate your ideas and develop the finished look.”

AIM TO OUTSHINE PAST WINNERS Although being innovative and original is always a recipe for competition success, looking at the work of previous winners can help you determine exactly what the judging panel is looking for. “Looking at past winners will give you a great insight into what the industry is looking for in an entrant and of course a winner,” says Square. “Think about what was unique about them and what you do differently that will really help you stands. Use past winners as a benchmark for what you want to achieve and more.”

LASTLY, REMEMBER WHY YOU’VE ENTERED Focusing on the reasons you want to enter a competition in the first place can really aim motivation and keep your team on track. “The buzz that ensues within your business after winning awards of this stature is an invaluable tool for both staff and clients,” says Rowbottom. “It generates confidence, encourages higher standards and helps to motivate existing employees, while attracting a better calibre of new ones. It also positions the brand as a market leader in its field.”

RETROSPECTIVE

Britain’s biggest year Elevated by London 2012 and the Queen’s Diamond jubilee, 2012 was a huge year for Britain. So as it comes to a close, we look back on some of the industry’s most influential stories…

A ROYAL HONOUR

TRIPLE THREAT

Announced in December ’11, Hob Salons began 2012 on a high after scooping a triple hat trick at the British Hairdressing Awards. The London-based group wiped the floor winning Artistic Team of the Year, British Colour Technician of the Year and British Hairdresser of the Year – all for the third time. Director Akin Konizi, who is now in the BHA Hall of Fame for British Hairdresser, said at the time: “Words cannot describe how proud the team at Hob Salons is to be recognised as the best in Britain, and we look forward to flying the flag for British hairdressing over the next year. Thank you to everyone for their amazing support.”

Veteran hairdressers Charlie Miller and Peter Collinge both received OBEs in the Queen’s New Year 2012 Honours List in recognition for their services to hairdressing. Miller, who celebrated 50 years in the business in 2009, was the first Scottish hairdresser to be given the accolade.

His chain of Edinburgh based salons have won a host of awards since the first one opened in 1965 while the hairdresser has also received many awards for his individual work. Meanwhile Collinge, who has spent over 70 years in hairdressing, opened his first salon in Liverpool in 1952 and established a renowned training programme for stylists. Today he is chairman for family business Andrew Collinge Hairdressing.

FIT FOR A QUEEN

Ian Carmichael, creative director at The Dorchester hotel’s Royston Blythe salon, received a Royal Warrant this year as Her Majesty The Queen’s personal hairdresser. The stylist, who has been the Queen’s personal hairdresser for 14 years, coordinates regular visits to Buckingham Palace with his salon clientele and plays a prominent role in all Royal occasions.

Among the winners included The Potting Shed Spa in West Yorkshire and Edinburgh’s Zen Lifestyle, which walked away with the Best Salon of the Year accolades for three rooms or fewer and four rooms or more respectively.

Barrie Stephen Hair’s art team helped kick off The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee tour by styling the models for a royal catwalk show at Leicester’s De Montford University. Attended by HRH the Queen and the Duchess of Cambridge, five stylists from across the Leicestershirebased salon group created vintage up-dos that complimented the designs of the chosen students that showcased their work for the first part of the tour.

Hairdressing legend Vidal Sassoon CBE lost his battle with leukaemia on 9 May 2012 – aged 84 years old. In October hundreds of people attended a memorial service at St Paul’s Cathedral to celebrate his life including Sassoon’s wife Ronnie, son Elan, actor Sir Michael Caine and Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman.

Scratch magazine named the winners of its first Scratch Stars awards in June.

After three years in the pipeline, editor Alex Fox said the awards were the first to see the nail industry standalone and be recognised in its own right. “The nail professional deserves credit for the amazing work that this produced,” she said. “And so with the surge of popularity in nails we’ve experienced in the last five years and the upward trend we’re seeing in nails – it was the right time to launch.”

Sport and grooming are unlikely bedfellows, but that didn’t stop product houses launching patriotic products so salon goers could get into this year’s Olympic spirit. We saw torchbearers flying the flag for Britain by wearing red, white and blue hairpieces courtesy of Flip-In Hair. Meanwhile, many of the athletes were given Union Jack decorated nails using Minx metallic coverings, as applied by Sweet Squared’s education ambassadors.

Global hair brand Goldwell held the Grand Finale of its international Colour Zoom competition in the Olympic city of London this year. The three-day event was an inspirational festival of talent and colour while it also marked the competition’s 10-year anniversary. The winners included Germany’s Hagen Krüger and Taiwan’s Chief Lin and Eason Chen.

alTernaTIVe CelebraTIon Tony Rizzo’s Alternative Hair Show reached its thirtieth year in October, celebrating with an aweinspiring presentation. Many of the world’s greatest hair talents took to the Royal Albert Hall’s stage in homage to industry frontrunners including the late Vidal Sassoon.

Bucking the recession

It has certainly been a year of hi-tech breakthroughs for salons as mobile sites and apps became the norm, iPads and tablets hit the salon floor and social media marketing reached new heights.

What will 2013 bring?

While the rest of the country’s small businesses faced financial decline, the salon industry remained robust throughout 2012. With a combination of clever marketing initiatives, shrewd management and clients that won’t forgo their appointments, the industry proved

to be recession-proof.

Important milestones Not only did the Alternative Hair Show reach its thirtieth anniversary this year but Wahl UK celebrated hitting 25, Sean Hanna made it to 30, and Salon International held its fortieth event.

MANAGER PRO

The January sales Usually the reserve of retailers, Stuart Holmes reveals how holding an annual January sale does wonders for his salon business

“A

fter a gluttonous Christmas when people party and spend hard, January can turn into a month that is hard to get excited about in business terms.

“Salon teams work exceedingly hard in December and retail and service revenues have the potential to jump through the roof. But come the New Year when festive frenzy has passed, salon owners need to have their next marketing plan ready to roll out to ensure revenues are protected.

There is nothing better for staff motivation than to have a record month to kick off the New Year. Having a quiet January on the other hand simply adds to the Christmas hangover.

“Marketing plans for January need to be signed off and lined up for activation by mid-December. Therefore, when you return from the festivities, the only thing you will have to worry about is shifting those extra pounds acquired through

54 | www.thesalonmagazine.co.uk

indulging on too many mince pies.

“The January sale is synonymous with the retail industry yet not many in the salon industry translate this into a sale on services. At The Stuart Holmes Hair and Beauty Spa, we do. Our annual January sale has become almost as famous as those in major department stores. We use it as a way of encouraging our clients to get out and about again and spending on themselves.

“We launch our sale around January 5 and it is branded similarly to how shops brand their sales. We ditch our traditional luxurious brand colours and opt for red and white in all sale communications. It may be garish. It may not be on ‘brand’ with our usual marketing communications.

But this campaign is about impact and getting people in through the door.

“We make our sale work for us. We only offer the discount on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesdays. It also tends not to be valid with our senior staff as their appointment diaries continue to flourish no matter what time of year it is.

“Our offering varies year on year but we have found the most successful January sale was when we offered a £60 cut and colour. And this was valid on a half head colour, t-section or natural glossing.

“We have been running our January sale for three years and now annually find we are fully booked on the days we run it. We promote it to our client database through an emailer as well as through local

newspapers and magazines. We also do an element of online advertising to really push our message across.

“When you are in salon management, making the most out of potentially quieter times requires simple yet well thought-out planning. As we look forward to 2013, I would urge salon owners to take a good strategic look at their peaks and dips in demand year on year. Try to identify the quieter months from 2012 and ensure your marketing campaigns for 2013 focus on boosting client numbers during that period. Learn from previous years and build on campaigns that are proven to work.

“Merry Christmas everyone!”

THE TANNING DIARIES

Strictly professional In the first instalment of his new column, St. Tropez’s Jules Heptonstall reveals his hectic weekend schedule behind the scenes of Strictly Come Dancing

“S

unless tanning has become one of today’s backstage essentials.

And with reality television shows airing for anything up to three months with long hours and punishing schedules, it can take a significant toll on the contestants’ skin. So for the likes of the stars of Strictly Come Dancing, a tan isn’t just about a hit of holiday colour: it’s about disguising the signs of a gruelling twelve-week competition.

“This year is my first working backstage as the show’s lead skin professional.

And with the brightly coloured costumes and strong studio lights, keeping the celebrities’ and dancers’ tans topped up is almost as important as the dancing itself.

Well, in my head it certainly is!

“Every Friday we pop-up a booth backstage and spray the dancers and contestants after their studio rehearsals.

We only have ten minutes to tan each person – so being extremely organised is

56 | www.thesalonmagazine.co.uk

essential. While one person tans the other locates the next celebrity or dancer, gets them prepped and then changed into a robe. As the tanner finishes with client number one, the next is ready to begin their treatment. It’s almost like a tanning factory line.

“As any tanner is aware, week-onweek treatments can lead to a build up of colour – especially on the legs, neck and underarms. So it’s important for us to stress the importance of daily moisturising for tan upkeep and make sure our clients are using the right products to remove any build up before the next application.

“On the Saturday afternoon and evenings we are then on hand to add the finishing touches to their tans. This usually includes applying St. Tropez Skin Illuminators and Shimmer Stick to contour the body and give contestants that all important sparkle for their moment under the spotlight. On occasion we will apply an additional layer of wash-off tan to the

legs and arms to give the skin an added depth in colour without any additional tan build up. We also contour the bodies to give them more definition, paying special attention to the legs, arms and backs.

“Occasionally we will apply a full body tan using our wash-off products (you couldn’t use self tan as it would start to develop and get darker as the night went on – risky business when it’s live television). You may remember a few weeks ago when Fearn Britton’s partner Artem Chigvintsev danced topless? He missed his tanning slot due to a photo shoot and so the tan you saw was applied in ten minutes with St. Tropez Wash-Off Mousse – my life saviour.

“See you next month for more tanning tales.”

Jules Heptonstall is St. Tropez’s VIP and celebrity tanning expert and has worked backstage on various television shows including The X Factor, Take Me Out: The Gossip and Strictly Come Dancing.

The cost of Christmas Saks Education reveals how to get through the festive season on a tight budget

T

hat time of year is among us again…cold nights, twinkling lights and of course: Christmas shopping! Although this is a very exciting time, it can also be very stressful when it comes to financing the smiles we put on our loved faces with our fabulous gifts. And this is especially true if you are on an apprentice’s wage.

So, what can we do to make this magical time less stressful? Below are six top tips from Saks Education…

that are out of our budget - especially when shops make them look so appealing. So now really is the time to be strict with your money.

Pay with cash One way to force yourself to stick to your budget is to pay for all your gifts with cash.

Simply withdraw the amount that you can afford to spend on your Christmas gifts.

And when that money is gone, shopping time is over.

Make a list

Go shopping on your own

List the names of all the people you’d like to buy for, determine how much money you can realistically afford to spend on Christmas in total and then allocate a set portion for each person.

If you go shopping alone you are less likely to be persuaded to buy yourself something or dip into your Christmas shopping budget to go for lunch.

Avoid overspending

Remember this is the season for giving, not receiving! If you see something that

It’s very easy to be drawn into buying gifts

Don’t buy yourself treats

you really want you could maybe add it to your own Christmas list instead of buying it for yourself.

Get Creative The best gift you can give someone is something personal that you have made from the heart. For family, you could create a photo calendar displaying your family’s favourite images. You could maybe give vouchers out entitling the receiver to a car wash, house clean or babysitting. For friends you could bring out the Mary Berry in you and bake them a cake or some delicious festive biscuits.

The most important thing to remember is that Christmas is for spending quality time - not necessarily money - with your family and friends.

BUSINESS TIPS

In the palm of their hands How to ask for your clients’ email addresses so you can communicate wherever they are, explains Linkup Marketing’s Valorie Reavis

E

mail marketing is one of the most important ways to communicate with clients. It’s easy and cheap for the salon and research shows lots of people prefer it. It helps manage clients’ appointment schedules with confirmations while it builds awareness and drives new business with special offers and newsletters. But even though everyone knows this and you are probably nodding your head as you read, it’s still too awkward for many salon owners to ask clients for their email address. Yet you can’t have a successful email programme without a healthy database and you can’t have a database if you don’t ask for email addresses.

However, you’ll be happy to know that there are ways of obtaining this vital information without the hard sell…

it every time you ask for a client’s address. If you have it online, make sure to there’s a link to this policy and assure them that you will never abuse or share their information.

Alongside that disclaimer should also be a note about what they will be receiving from you in their inbox.

Mention how often you’ll be sending it and what you’ll be sending, then make sure that you don’t deviate from this plan without their permission.

Build a routine

Ask permission

The best way to build up a database of email addresses is to be consistent in your approach. Ask every client for their address no matter what and make sure you ask at the same time every time. This will then become part of a script for you and help you broach the subject.

It might sound really appealing to just buy a list and start emailing, but it’s not a method that’s advisable for a long-term programme.

Sure, you can go ahead and send an email trying to get potential clients to come and see you as you build your column, but don’t blend them with your email clients that have given you permission and are expecting your communications.

Client information cards Your first visit with a client should always begin by filling out a client information card. There you should be asking them for contact details including an email address and key marketing information such as their age, birthday and occupation.

Be up-front and honest Have a privacy policy for your email programme and ensure that you mention

Be reassuring Sometimes clients don’t want to give their address and it’s worth telling them verbally what you want it for and that you won’t abuse it. Typically clients want to receive emails about gifts and special promotions, but if they are insistent that they don’t

want to be on your list, then respect their wishes and allow them to pay full price on special deals.
