W

hile we may not have experienced the perfect summer weather, the new season got off to a bang last month with a host of industry celebrations.

Always a highlight of the year, the L’Oréal Professionnel Colour Trophy 2013 Grand Final provided around one thousand industry insiders (as well as INOA ambassador Alexa Chung and some other famous faces) with a jaw-dropping display of some of the best hairdressing creations on the planet. From an awe-inspiring futuristic catwalk by the Trevor Sorbie art team that was seven months in the planning to presentations from this year’s finalists and winners, turn to page seven to discover why the evening was one to remember.

Meanwhile the nail industry’s brightest stars were also recognised at an awards ceremony hosted by Scratch magazine. Now in its second year, the Scratch Stars awards was created as a platform dedicated to celebrating nail professionals. Nail techs and product houses were able to enter a range of awards with 18 gongs up for grabs in categories ranging from Session Stylist of the Year to Best Marketing and Support. Meanwhile, the beauty industry held some celebrations of its own in the capital at the BABTAC and CIBTAC awards. So from Beauty Therapist of the Year to Beauty Industry Entrepreneur, find out who won what on our news pages, starting from page seven.

But it wasn’t all parties and patting each other on the back last month: when we weren’t socialising, we were putting together

this month’s issue and we hope you’ll agree that it’s jam-packed with business ideas and advice.

Anti-ageing and skin rejuvenation are key growth areas in the beauty sector. That’s why this month we’ve been hunting down the best treatments and products that can be used in the salon to rival the results offered by the aesthetics industry. Turn to page 31 to discover some of the most effective resultsdriven facials around.

Meanwhile, keratin hair treatments are still big news for hairdressing salons. But with so many on the market, how do you decide which is best for your clients? Luckily we’ve taken some of the hard work out of the search for you by asking some top hairdressers to give us the low-down on their favoured systems. Read our feature on page 37 to find out what’s worth investing in.

Likewise this month we’ve also been considering the benefits of attracting a younger clientele. While older customers may have more spending power, cultivating a client base of teens and those in their early 20s can be a great business move. Play your cards right and they’ll not only grow with your business but give it a stronger appeal with clients of all ages too. Find out how to maximise this market on page 42.

Brooks and Brooks’ Sophia Hilton dazzles at L’Oréal Professionnel Colour Trophy 2013

T

he art team coordinator for London’s Brooks and Brooks stole the show at last month’s L’Oréal Professionnel Colour Trophy 2013 Grand Final by scooping first place in the national competition.

Sophia Hilton, who entered as part of the London salon’s team, became the fifty-eighth L’Oreal Colour Trophy winner, with Toni and Guy Regent Street and Scotland’s Gallagher Horner Hair securing second and third place respectively.

Blackpool-born Hilton, who has been hairdressing for eight years and part of the Brooks and Brooks team since 2009, created a modernised blonde and copper version of the popular dip-dye technique.

“The idea actually came from my frustration with dip-dye colour,” she says.

“Once girls wanted to have it done to look individual, but now they just look like everyone else. I developed a technique I call the ‘mid-dye’, which is basically lighter hair running through the middle. It is more technical to carry out than a standard dipdye but it’s fresh and new and my clients are loving it” The Colour Trophy winners were announced in front of 1,000 industry insiders and celebrities at a black-tie event inside Mayfair’s Grosvenor House. Hosted

by George Lamb, around 65 salon teams battled it out creating their interpretation of ‘hair inspired by fashion’ to win the highly coveted Colour Trophy.

Saks Doncaster was crowned the winner of the L’Oréal Professionnel Men’s Image Award, which was presented to the

team by Jo Hansford MBE. Meanwhile, the Mizani Afro Look Award was presented to Toni and Guy in Chiswick by brand ambassador Shingai Shoniwa of the Noisettes.

Another highlight of the evening was the announcement of the seven regional winners of the L’Oréal Professionnel Young Colourist Award, which were named on

by INOA ambassador Alexa Chung. The chosen stylists included Charlotte Prince from Aesthetics in Solihull; Ryan Andrews, Rush Worthing; Anna-Maria Hynes, Canary Wharf’s Toni and Guy; Megan Brooking, Millers Bishops Stortford; Lauren Tudor, En Route in Wakefield; Yasemin Esparon, The Boutique Salon and Spa in Great Sutton; and Ashley Wallace of Copperfields Hairdressing.

The power couple La Biosthetique’s new product duo offers a wealth of anti-ageing benefits

F

rench skincare brand La Biosthetique has added two new formulations to its antiageing range.

La Biosthetique Traitement Jour SPF 20 is a light, cell-active day cream that promises to prevent premature skin ageing. The emulsion is easily absorbed into the skin - creating a synergistic result that more than doubles the anti-ageing effect when compared to the use of ceramides alone. The waterproof day cream is ideal for those in search of a highly effective anti-ageing day care product with an SPF and is particularly suitable for clients with fair, sun-sensitive skin or those prone to pigmentation (from £28.55 + VAT/ RRP £57).

Meanwhile, La Biosthetique’s professional-only Dermosthetique Patch

Gel Visage mask offers a controlled, highly efficient and rapid dosage of active ingredients. Used as part of a results-driven facial, the collagen-boosting product provides a significant 24-hour moisturising effect thanks to its hydrogel structure. After one 15-minute treatment, its creator claims there is up to 15 percent reduction in wrinkle depth and a noticeable firming of the connective tissue due to the stimulation of the collagen synthesis (£63.96 + VAT).

Special salon package containing 45 Dermosthetique products plus training, £1,200 + VAT (usual price £1,900 + VAT). Tel: 01296 611731 Biosthetique.co.uk

A fresh look

Help clients achieve a brighter and younger complexion with Jane Scrivner’s total face and body exfoliation products

T

he simplest way for clients to rejuvenate their skin is to exfoliate. A regular programme of sloughing away dead skin will help keep their face and body soft, toned and glowing with health.

The skin rejuvenates by itself on an ongoing cycle; dead skin cells

continuously fall away to reveal a fresh, new layer. But during the process there is a time when the complexion can appear dull and lifeless – so speeding up the removal by exfoliating will aid this natural process.

The Jane Scrivner range places a big emphasis on exfoliation and offers four products that can be used together to ensure total skin rejuvenation.

The brand’s Pure Quartz Facial Grinds increase the circulation and improve skin condition by flushing fresh blood to the surface. This has a knock-on detoxing and cleansing effect for the entire body.

Meanwhile, for a gentle daily exfoliation, clients can combine Jane Scrivner’s Nourishing Cleanser with a luxury mitt to promote clean and fresh skin.

Total body exfoliation should also hold a firm place in every client’s skincare regime.

The Jane Scrivner Detox Brush Bag or Detox Mineral Bath and Body Scrub are both luxurious rejuvenating exfoliators that can also help fight cellulite too.

Removing dead skin will also allow any further skin care products to fully absorb and work much more effectively.

For optimum results, clients should try a weekly salt scrub or daily dry skin brushing followed by a full body application of moisturising oils such as Jane Scrivner’s Peace, Balance, Revive or Detox blends.

ANTI-AGEING SKINCARE

Saving face As demand for anti-ageing skincare reaches new levels, Gemma Ward hunts out some of the best salon-friendly skin rejuvenators on the market

A

nti-ageing skincare is booming.

According to industry analysts, the global market will continue to grow at unprecedented rates in 2013. Facial skincare remains as one of the strongest beauty categories of them all, with the big AVEDA five European countries (that’s the UK, France, Italy, Germany and Spain) said to be worth in excess of €6.5 billion.

Products and treatments that promise skin rejuvenation have also become one of the professional industry’s biggest money-spinners.

And with restoring the skin to a more youthful condition becoming the ultimate feat in anti-ageing, experts predict that this is a sound investment for salons wanting to cater for today’s results-hungry consumers.

“Skin rejuvenation is always a hot beauty topic,” says Angela BarbagelataFabes, chairman of Carlton Beauty and Spa. “Physically, we are in a better state than ever before. Forty is the new 30 and we are also living longer, which creates a big market for rejuvenation treatments.”

Salon services Traditionally, skin rejuvenation has been associated with the aesthetics industry’s intensive procedures such as chemical peels, fillers, Botox and laser re-surfacing.

However, with continuing advancements in ingredients and hi-tech beauty devices, the salon industry is becoming well placed to offer clients results-driven services that match up to those offered by clinics. “Skin

rejuvenation results can also be achieved with products that are formulated with cutting edge ingredient technology,” says Victoria Evans, corporate trainer for Dermalogica UK. “These include microencapsulated vitamins A, C and E,

of advanced cosmeceutical ingredients including highly active skin-smoothing lactic acid and salicylic acid along with a complex of proteolytic enzymes and peptides. “A unique benefit is the lack of inflammation, tissue damage and peeling generally associated with intense resurfacing treatments,” says Evans. “Meanwhile, in line with Dermalogica’s prescriptive approach, each treatment series can be customised to individual skin needs and level of tolerance.”

Hi-tech treatments

peptides, new forms of retinoid, stabilised forms of vitamin C and old favourites such as hydroxy acids. Combinations of these types of ingredients when used daily and in the treatment room can dramatically improve signs of skin ageing and sun damage.”

Professional resurfacing skin treatments – such as Dermalogica’s new active Resurface 35 – have hit the market offering clients a true alternative to more invasive treatments. The new 45-minute skin rejuvenating service uses a cocktail

Indeed today there is a wide range of hi-tech skin rejuvenation therapies available at the fingertips of the beauty salon professional. Key treatments include microcurrent for facial lifting, radio frequency to stimulate new collagen production and minimise wrinkles, vacuum to boost the lymph and circulation, galvanic to improve circulation and provide deep cleansing, faradic to tighten and tone the facial muscles, and colour therapy to improve oxygenation and detoxification of the skin.

But with so many technologies on offer, rooting out which is best for your salon is no easy task. As according to the experts, every client is different. “The best treatment is the one or combination that will offer the best results for that particular client,” says Barbagelata-Fabes.

This sentiment is echoed by John Thomas, combined aesthetic platforms sales manager for PureGenex, who believes the best option for salons is to invest in equipment that offers numerous options in one complete machine. His

www.thesalonmagazine.co.uk | 31

ANTI-AGEING SKINCARE company’s PureIce platform (Puregenex. co.uk) offers a range of therapies that promise to deliver “outstanding skin rejuvenation results for the whole body – including the face and sensitive areas around the eyes.”

He explains: “This is achieved through the combination of key non-invasive technologies that act on all the aspects of skin rejuvenation. This includes PDT, dermal massage and the latest advancements in vacuum targeted multipolar radio frequency, including electronic impedance matching, to ensure optimal delivery of the treatment energy through the layers of the dermis.”

Suitable for all skin types, ages and genders – but most effective on clients aged between 35 and 65 – it promises to generate significant and visible improvement in the texture and tonal consistency of the skin while also strengthening the underlying protein structures that give the complexion a more supple, smooth and youthful appearance.

Barbagelata-Fabes agrees that such therapies can yield an impressive skin rejuvenation effect. Moreover, she believes that radio frequency in particular is becoming a highly popular service for clients that want anti-ageing results without undergoing an intensive procedure. “Radio frequency is one of the least invasive, yet most effective, skin rejuvenation treatments available,” she says. “It is so non-invasive that it doesn’t generate many contra-actions, so it can be combined with lots of other therapies.”

The expert recommends that therapists perform a lifting facial massage after each radio therapy treatment to maximise the effects. Meanwhile, she says therapists can also combine it with a light application of diamond peeling or with microcurrent for “the ultimate in lifting and anti-ageing skincare”. Carlton’s ThermaVisage RF8 machine includes radio frequency and vacuum alongside colour therapy for a complete treatment for the face (Tel: 01903 761 100 Thecarltongroup.co.uk).

Heightened results Tracy Tamaris, training director for the International Institute for Anti-Ageing (iiaa), meanwhile, says that such treatments can be made even more powerful with the introduction of active ingredients – such as vitamin A. “Despite it not being a new “wow” ingredient, nothing works as effectively on skin as vitamin A,” she

32 | www.thesalonmagazine.co.uk

says. “It has been known since 1910 that vitamin A normalises skin cells and there is no other ingredient that has this effect, at any age. It can also improve fine lines associated with ageing.”

Products from South African brand Environ – which is supplied to UK salons by the iiaa – contain high levels of the wonder ingredients that can be prescribed to individual clients.

The expert says that treatments using enhanced penetration techniques – such as low frequency sound waves and pulsed galvanic – with vitamin A will yield the best results. “They ensure that enough active ingredients penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin where they will work to normalise cells, stimulate collagen production and correct pigmentation problems,” she explains.

However, the expert says that clients should be encouraged to introduce the wonder ingredient into their homecare routines as well for the most optimum results. “Supplementation is as important as topical products and in fact should be the first step to rejuvenate skin,” she says. “Vitamin A taken orally is extremely powerful way to contribute to the maintenance of normal, healthy skin because the normal way our body draws the nutrients it needs is through what we eat.” (Tel: 0208 450 2020 Iiaa.eu).

But vitamin A isn’t the only anti-ageing ingredient being touted by the expert: new evidence from independent researchers at the University of Reading has found that Matrixyl is an effective collagen-stimulating ingredient. And this news has led to multiple stories in the consumer press as well as heightened awareness among beauty fans.

While Tamaris maintains that Matrixyl is not a substitute for vitamin A, she says that the peptide can be highly effective when both ingredients are used together.

Sharon Hilditch, MD for Crystal Clear, also recommends products containing Matrixyl for effective skin rejuvenation results. “When I developed the Crystal Clear range some five years ago that is what I selected as one of the most important ingredients,” she says. “It seems strange that now there is so much press about what Matrixyl does and clinical data of how it reverses the ageing process.”

The expert says that brand’s Intense Anti-Ageing Serum, Illuminate, Wipe Away the Years, Velvet Skin and Deep Cleanse Gel are all packed with the peptide at

much higher percentages than “most other anti-ageing products on the market.”

She says: “When I was developing the range, I worked closely with chemists and dermatologists in Europe to ensure every product was loaded with as many active anti-ageing ingredients possible.” (Tel: 0151 709 7227 Crystalclear.co.uk).

Back to nature But for those clients that prefer a more holistic approach, natural products that use fruit acids and enzymes, manual dermabrasion ingredients, hyaluronic acids found in plants and healing and stimulating herbs, fruits and spices can also greatly improve the appearance of the skin.

And according to Tracy Smith, founder of The Skinsmith, which distributes Éminence Organic Skincare in the UK, such products can be just as effective as their more intensive counterparts: “As far as Éminence is concerned, we will continue to develop higher performance organic and natural ingredients to rival chemical procedures,” she says. “We’ve certainly noticed a rise in people becoming increasingly aware of the ingredients within the products they are using on their skin, seeing them opt for natural alternatives.”

The latest launches from Éminence combine advanced natural retinol and hydroquinone alternatives with innovative plant stem cell technology to heighten the rejuvenating and anti-ageing properties of the products. The brand’s newest range Age Corrective Night features a unique anti-aging stem cell complex made up from argan stem cells and a natural active from nutmeg seeds to help accelerate the natural repair process of the complexion.

According to Smith, this yields “impressive results” with skin smoothness increased by 25 per cent, skin density increased by 13 per cent and wrinkle depth reduced by 26 per cent in just two months (Tel: 01527 834 904 Theskinsmith.co.uk).

While certain beauty trends might come and go, skin rejuvenation is one area that has stood the test of time. As Barbagelata-Fabes says: “Consumers will always seek out the latest technological advances in treatments as well as quick-fix products with cutting edge ingredients; however, skin rejuvenation will always underpin the latest beauty industry fads.”

So as beauty suppliers battle it out for a slice of the multi billion pound anti-ageing industry, we know exactly what we’ll be putting our money on.

Beating the system

Nanokeratin System has unveiled a new and improved range of professional salon smoothing treatments and retail essentials

N

anokeratin System is a leading brand in the smoothing treatment sector. Its products are so well acclaimed that they’re used by some of the very best salons in the country from Sassoons, Headmasters and Toni and Guy to Daniel Galvin, Paul Edmonds, Errol Douglas and Michael Van Clarke to name but a few.

The brand has built up a reputation for reliable and luxurious results that clients love. But its offer is about to get even better still thanks to researchers at the International Nanokeratin System Laboratories who’ve developed a new formula that will take a salon’s smoothing and repair services to another level altogether.

“It has always been important to us that our products actually help permanently repair hair – not just make them smooth temporarily,” says Amir Segev, chairman and CEO of Nanokeratin System. “Of course instant results are important, but we recognise that the more you treat the hair and return it as close to its natural state as possible, the better it behaves.

It is not just one ingredient that produces strong hair – there is a combination of biomimetic technologies and vital ingredients that you need to use to obtain optimum condition.”

With this in mind, the brand’s laboratory has developed a patented formula based on biomimetic technology that delivers a new type of smoothing treatment that hairdressers and clients will love. This new and improved formula is a blend of ingredients including biotin plus, biomimetic micro sized keratin, amino acids, vitamins and oils that mimic natural hair process to keep it strong, smooth and shiny.

The micro size-molecular formula, using particles so minute that millions of them can fit on a pinhead, is so tiny that it allows the penetration of even the smallest hair

shaft to activate the inner hair tissue where they are deposited and locked deep within the damaged hair.

The team at Nanokeratin System has also recognised that not all hair is the same and different clients will have a different set of issues and requirements that therefore needs a tailored formulation to get the very best results…

In-salon treatments RE-CHARGE Enhancing Therapy Cream – Created for Natural/virgin hair to preserve and rejuvenate its natural state while hydrating and protecting it against the elements and to improve overall texture and shine.

RE-CHARGE Nourishing AntiFade Cream – Designed for coloured hair, this nourishing anti-fade cream has an anti-fade effect that stimulates the pigment rejuvenation and has an anti-ageing substance to help prevent damage and breakage.

RE-CHARGE Therapy Cream – Specifically designed for highlighted,

sensitized and chemically damaged hair, this in-salon treatment is formulated to reduce breakage, to enhance the strength of the hair and promote a healthy shine.

Re-START Priming Shampoo – Used before each of the above treatments, this shampoo has been designed to prepare the hair for treatment with an effective deep clean.

BRAND NEW RETAIL RANGE The three new in-salon treatments will be backed up with a brand new, extensive retail range, specifically designed to support each of one of the treatments, Each now having its own shampoo, conditioner and mask with specific formulations for Natural, Coloured or Sensitised, pre-lightened hair.

HAIR SMOOTHERS

Don’t invest in a professional hair smoothing service until you’ve read our expert recommendations KERASTRAIGHT WHAT THE COMPANY SAYS: “We’ve listened to our salons’ needs and developed this latest and greatest generation of KeraStraight to give hairdressers what they’ve been asking for – quicker, easier, more powerful and more cost effective treatments.

These newly enhanced keratin formulas take the Brazilian blow-dry to a whole new level. The new easier and quicker-to-use formulas have increased levels of carbocysteine, which means that they give greater straightening and repair.

But KeraStraight is now also a speedier service, which gives a greater financial return for the hairdresser.”

KERATIN COMPLEX WHAT THE COMPANY SAYS: “Keratin Complex has changed the beauty industry – starting with our signature Smoothing Therapy and continuing with a complete range of products and styling tools.

“Since our launch in 2007, Keratin Complex has led the way with innovative technology and amazing results. It is no wonder Keratin Complex is now the leading smoothing system in the world! All Keratin Complex treatments and styling products are specially formulated to contain natural keratin protein, which rebuilds, restores and rejuvenates all types of hair.”

Recommended by: Nathan Walker, international technical director, Trevor Sorbie WHAT THE HAIRDRESSERS SAY: Nathan Walker, international technical director at Trevor Sorbie, says: “I believe KeraStraight to be the safest and best treatment available on the market. The results can meet various client demands from extremely straight results all the way to simple de-frizzing while keeping the curl. The system is simple and basic in understandable science; there’s no secret magic. I like the ability it has to change hair texture using protein that is proven and safe.”

RESULTS: “We achieve results that clients love; they have the ease of beautifully conditioned and manageable hair. This could be helping a client with

a difficult hairline through to a complete change of texture from frizzy and curly to smooth and straight. Most importantly all the results are easy for the client to manage at home.”

PROFIT POTENTIAL: “The starting price for a KeraStraight service is approximately £180, although that does depend on the salon’s pricing structure. The product cost and staff payment still leaves a healthy profit. We have generated a huge amount of business – and at a time when people are colouring and cutting less often, it’s great to see clients investing in this extra service.”

CONTACT: Tel: 0845 459 0026 Kerastraight.com

Recommended by: Mario Charalambous, technical director, Richard Ward Hair and Metrospa WHAT THE HAIRDRESSERS SAY: The Richard Ward Hair and Metrospa offers the Keratin Complex system under the salon’s own guise: Memory Forme. “It’s my role to test drive the latest products and innovations,” says technical director Mario Charalambous. “So I selected Keratin Complex based on its effectiveness and constantly great results.”

RESULTS: “Memory Forme is better on very curly hair as it reduces frizz down by up to about 60 per cent. We also have a blow-out version that lasts six weeks, but the plus point is that the client can wash the system out of their hair after eight hours as opposed to 72. The system produces the smoothest and straightest results. Meanwhile the blow-out option

creates a good smooth effect, especially if time is of the essence.”

PROFIT POTENTIAL: “We have a straightforward application charge for the Memory Forme service. We have a team of technical stylists who carry out the ironing, and we charge their hourly rate.

The blow-out system takes about an hour to iron, and the others to take about an hour and a quarter with two stylists – the extra speed works better for the client and for us.”

PRODUCTS & TREATMENTS K FUSION

KEBELO

WHAT THE COMPANY SAYS: “K Fusion is packed with proteins and hydrolysed keratin, contains UV protection and is infused with argan oil to condition the hair and give it a delicate fragrance.

This unique formula works by softening and bending the disulphide bonds in the hair. It repels moisture and seals in the cuticles, helping to prevent frizz and leave the hair smooth, soft, manageable and full of volume for up to four months – unlike permanent straighteners, which break and re-set the bonds in the hair, causing it to go poker straight.

“K Fusion is 100 per cent formaldehyde free, even when heated, making it perfectly safe for all hair types.

“Application is quick, easy and safe for hairdressers to use; once treatment is complete, it is rinsed straight out. The hair can be washed 24-48 hours later.”

WHAT THE COMPANY SAYS: “With Kebelo’s revolutionary smoothing system you will get amazingly smooth, frizz-free, glossy, easy to manage hair.

“The Kebelo Advantage smoothing system takes three simple steps; cleanse, treat and maintain. Using Kebelo pioneered carbocysteine hair technology that allow the treatment to support, strengthen and revitalise each strand from within, weak, dull, frizzy, unhealthy hair is transformed to beautiful smooth locks filled with bounce and volume.

What’s more with the new Advantage treatment, it only takes one hour to achieve and lasts for 100 days, and you can get a colour straight after. This unique foundation treatment lets you loose the frizz while maintaining the bounce and volume, giving you even more styling freedom. Once again, Kebelo has led the way in hair smoothing.

Recommended by: Grant Badger, salon manager, ColourNation WHAT THE HAIRDRESSERS SAY: “We chose K-fusion because we wanted to work with a company who knew every ingredient of their product inside out,” says Grant Badger, salon manager for London’s ColourNation. “We also wanted a product that was safe for clients and stylists to use in the salon. K-Fusion is certified safe for pregnant mothers, which means it’s great for everyone.”

RESULTS: “Its kind conditioning results leave clients amazed by the smoothness produced. The product is soft and smoothing, which tames unruly hair.

Client’s love the results and condition of the hair after application.”

PROFIT POTENTIAL: “We charge from £125 but we do use more product that we really should. Even so, this still leaves a healthy margin.”

BRAZILIAN BLOWOUT WHAT THE COMPANY SAYS: “Brazilian Blowout professional smoothing treatments are the most innovative and effective in the world. Through the use of innovative and breakthrough bonding technologies, these treatments actually improve the health and condition of the hair by creating a protective protein layer around the hair shaft to eliminate frizz and smooth the cuticle. The end result is smooth, healthy, frizz-free hair with radiant shine!

“They are the only professional smoothing treatments that actually improve the health of the hair. The entire in-salon treatment is completed in just 90 minutes with no down time – the minute you leave the salon, you can wash and air-dry your hair.”

Recommended by: Haydn Atkins, salon director, Red Angel WHAT THE HAIRDRESSERS SAY: “I am very particular about what we put on our clients’ hair and I tried a few similar systems but for me, Kebelo was the best by far, from meeting the outcome promised right through to salon support,” says Haydn Atkins, salon director for Red Angel in Manchester. “Also with the introduction of the faster and more cost effective Kebelo Advantage, I know we made the right choice.”

RESULTS: “Kebelo does exactly what it says it will and unlike any other similar systems on the market, it’s quick, easy and gives client satisfaction every time.”

PROFIT POTENTIAL: “The maximum we charge is £120 and this brings a profit of £60 to £80 every time.”

CONTACT: Tel: 0845 257 3013 Kebelo.com

Recommended by: Nicole Jackson, Brazilian blow-dry specialist, Taylor Taylor WHAT THE HAIRDRESSERS SAY: “After researching many different systems we chose the Brazilian Blowout TM due to the amazing testimonials from clients and salons alike,” says Nicole Jackson from London’s Taylor Taylor. “The treatment is also the most effective, long lasting and only fully certified product in the EU and UK.” RESULTS: “The results I can achieve using the product system are simply like having a ‘great hair day’ every day.

It really puts the condition, shine and manageability back into hair, especially with damaged locks. My client’s love the straightening effect that smoothes the hair without making it poker straight.”

PROFIT POTENTIAL: “On average we charge £275 for the treatment, which generates a great profit margin.”

Knowledge is power According to new research, many firms are missing valuable information about their online audience, says 1&1 Internet’s Richard Stevenson

T

he majority of business owners now know that a professional and mobile optimised website is essential for satisfying today’s consumer demands. However, many firms are failing to recognise that their website can also be an important means of business intelligence.

In fact, the way that online visitors interact with a website can reveal not only whether it is functioning properly, but also who the audience is and where their interests lie – which can prove to be invaluable for business owners.

Despite this, brand new research commissioned by 1&1 surveying 750 small UK firms has found that the average business owner only checks their web statistics every two weeks. Just one in five analyse them on a daily basis, while another one in five firms have never looked at them at all.

But viewing these necessary statistics has never been easier: many hosting providers and website-building packages provide a website analytics tool within their control panel. At 1&1, we urge SMEs to

check these web figures daily. Because getting to the habit can be as useful to you as checking your bank balance or sales figures.

Reap rewards The first benefit of website statistics is the ability to show business owners how popular their website is, which pages are most popular or even what is losing the entire site traffic. This allows businesses to respond to issues with design and

functionality. Moreover, knowing which sections of the site are most popular means they can optimise communications and offers in response to the visitors received – which is very useful insight all round.

Secondly, web statistics show you where an online audience originates. It’s possible to see which websites the traffic is coming from, such as Google, allowing businesses to measure online marketing and also check out the geographical origin too.

Checking your website statistics everyday can be really rewarding. Being able to see which content on your website is the most interesting to visitors is so useful. It’s also important to see how well a website is doing on search engines. With

Today there are website packages aimed specifically at helping small businesses launch a compelling and effective website that can be optimised easily for their needs. In particular, 1&1 offers packages from around £10/month that provide a choice of industry-specific templates and content, such as those for hair and beauty salons.

Within them there will be tools for social media and mobile functionality with features like feedback forms, a relevant image library, news and location as well as an etail functionality. The packages are ideal for any level of computer user and include everything that business owners need to launch and maintain an online strategy – including a site analytics tool.

As most Britons are now searching the web to find small local businesses, no salon can afford to neglect the web. All would be wise to ensure that their website grows and improves even modestly every month – and checking web statistics can be a real help. With 1&1, every salon can create a website that does them proud.

Keep it in the family Making it easy for parents to bring in pre-teens for salon services will ensure that they’re introduced to the brand early. “Our family-friendly approach FRESH SKIN Elemis, from RRP definitely makes us stand £5.95; Tel: 01278 out,” says Karen Thomson, 727 830 creative director for KAM in Lossiemouth. “Feedback we’ve received from some clients has been that many mums are reluctant to bring their young children into other salons because they’ve been scared of them running riot. KAM on the other hand has lots to keep young children entertained and we think children add a lovely buzz to the salon.”

Create an appealing brand

Use younger clients to inspire creativity

While parents might initially pay for their offspring’s salon visits, businesses must remain appealing to young people if they are to maintain their custom in their teens and beyond. “It’s important that salons offer a family service so if you win one member of the family (usually the mother) then the rest of them will become loyal clients,” says Marshall. “But you have to make sure your brand has appeal to teenagers. This is the age when they start going their own way and if your salon doesn’t echo that ‘young vibe’ they will move on.”

While staple services underpin the success of every salon, younger clients can help give team members a creativity boost. “Typically our young clients are much bolder when it comes to experimenting with their hair,” says Thomson. “So it gives us a chance to be really creative.” Marshall adds: “Youngsters may not be able to afford the senior stylists but they may actually prefer the younger members of the team. They have more in common. And doing kids just a bit younger than them that who may like more creative hairstyling keeps the younger stylists engaged and motivated.”

Get them in as models

Young people make great models– particularly for creative hairdressing or nail services – as they are more inclined to experiment. What’s more, introducing them to junior team members can be great for the salon as there is a potential that they will develop into long-term clients with your youngest generation of staff.

“We target younger clients for our model nights so even when they’ve broke, they can still afford to come to Byron,” says Marshall.

Bear young clients’ needs in mind

Introduce a teen – friendly product line But whatever services are on offer, salons should also introduce retail products that appeal to younger clients if they want to target this market. Sixteen-year-old Jazz Smedley, daughter of Georgie and Jason Smedley who head up Nail Harmony in the UK, is set to launch a line of nail products targeted at young people later this year. All That Jazz will feature high quality nail art products and accessories as well as ‘animation colour’ nail lacquer in glitter and metallic shades. “I wanted to create a product range for young people that is still high end,” she says. “All the products are not only cool and young but they’re also classy.”

But young people often have more diverse needs when it comes to their appearance and salons must be able to adapt to their ever-changing requirements. “We understand that teens grow and change and their needs change too, so we’re able to tailor each visit accordingly,” says If you’re seriously considering upping Thompson. “For example, one day we the ante on your young client appeal, might be creating a glamorous look for a reaching out to a teen market with school leaving party while another it could promotions outside of the salon is a great be a sleek and professional way to maximise style for their first job PURE EXPERT interview.”

brand awareness. “We attract younger clients in a number of ways,” says David Nicholson, director at Rainbow Room International’s Glasgowbased Royal Exchange Square salon. “This ranges from active involvement in schools with our Project H programme through to training nights, fashion popup events around our city, getting involved with local charities and of course T in the Park.”

Be nice

Young people are sometimes considered as troublemakers and as such, can be treated badly by some customerfacing professionals. Smedley says that business owners that want to attract younger clients must bear this in mind when they welcome them into the salon: “Teenagers often get really intimidated by going into shops and salons – I know this from experience,” she says. “So you need to make sure that they understand the products you’re using and why they’re going to get fantastic results in the end.

Also, just make sure you’re friendly – being nice will go a long way.”

Speak their language

With a high percentage of young people regularly using social media sites to communicate, shop and find inspiration, building a presence is essential for any business that wants to appeal to this target market. “Facebook seems to really work for us,” says Thompson. “Our salon is based in a small town and yet we have nearly 2,500 followers. This is because we try and make sure we have a good mix of news from the salon, promotions, hair advice and celebrity news.” Nicholson adds: “We use Facebook to share what we do. This helps clients who have liked us become a part of what we are. This gives them something back and keeps them informed.”

Keep up with new technology Even if you’ve got to grips with Facebook, never rest on your social media laurels.

Young people are often at the forefront of changing technology – and if you want to appeal to a more youthful crowd, it’s essential that you keep up too. “We’ve used Facebook but word now is that young people are moving away from this and onto other sites such as Instagram, Tumblr and Twitter,” says Marshall.

“Snapchat is big with the kids at the moment but we are not sure yet if it can benefit the salon. Social networking is

If you don’t know how to speak to young people – find someone that does.

Teenagers under 18 often miss out on student discounts despite being in full-time education, which can deter them from using certain services. With this in mind, South England salon group Graham Webb International has introduced a Student Club initiative for all local young people at school, college or university. The incentive, which offers members a 25 per cent discount on cuts and highlights, has given the area’s teens another reason for taking advantage of the salon’s services. Meanwhile it also encourages them to become lifelong fans – and full paying clients – when they start work.

BUSINESS TIPS

The magic of mail Salon marketing expert Alice Kirby reveals why snail mail is experiencing a revival as the best way to reach clients

G

oogle has just sent me a £75 coupon for its AdWord service – through the post. You’d think this online giant would use email, text or even an app to reach its clients. But no: its marketing executives make a deliberate decision to use direct mail. And it works.

The good news is that the same idea can work for your salon too. Gone are the days of mass junk mail. Today’s savvy salon owners are using the post to build relationships, not sales. And clients like to receive mail. It makes them feel special and it shows that you care.

Stamps are your best friend So why does Google use snail mail? And why should you?

The reason is, quite simply, because traditional post gets read. Eighty-two per cent of consumers open their direct mail according to recent research conducted by the Royal Mail. We receive such little post these days that when a handwritten envelope lands on the doormat, it just cries out to be opened.

Get the most from your post Avoid expensive volume mailings. Small is beautiful. The secret is to keep it targeted, personal and relevant.

46 | www.thesalonmagazine.co.uk

Here are three direct mail ideas that can help you nurture your clients and build valuable long-term relationships: Missing you: the post is an ideal way to coax those lapsed clients back to your salon. Less intrusive than a text, more distinctive than an email, and you know it will reach the client. A simple card with a time-limited offer and a ‘book now’ message should do the trick. Do be generous with your discount: you’ve invested money in postage and print so don’t squander it by being tight-fisted with your offer. If clients haven’t been back for six months, it will take a juicy incentive to motivate them to pick up the phone and book again.

Many happy returns: birthday cards are direct mail marketing at its most simple and effective. What better way to tell a client that “you’re important to us”? Add a personal touch with bespoke greeting cards designed and printed for your salon – you’ll find it’s cheaper than bulk-buying them from a shop. Include a birthday girl/ boy gift, such as a pampering treatment, on their next visit. I tend to avoid discounts here and look at ways to up-sell salon services instead. I also like to handwrite the envelope rather than just stick a label on. Yes, it does take that bit longer, but looks so much more special and inviting.

Plus 49 per cent of consumers say they are more likely to open mail if they are intrigued by the package.

New clients: you’ve worked hard to attract a new client, wowed them with your salon experience and sent them out of the door feeling fantastic. Now make sure you carry on building that relationship and turn them into that marketing pot of gold – a loyal client. Direct mail is the perfect next step. If they haven’t rebooked after around six to eight weeks, pop a card in the post with an appealing offer for their second visit. Use their name, always hand write the envelope, and add a personal note for maximum effect.

Measure and measure again One final tip – remember to monitor the results. This is crucial to calculating the success of your direct marketing and the return on your investment in postage, print and time. An easy method is to include a promotional code in your offer which clients must mention to enjoy the special prices.

So if you want to make an impact for 50p, take a leaf out of Google’s book and invest in a stamp.

BUSINESS TIPS

Social suicide

If you don’t know what your employees are up to on Facebook and Twitter, it’s time to take action, says HR expert Liz Strama

“I

t may not seem like an important issue because who has time to worry about what their employees are doing on Facebook and Twitter, right? But did you realise that employers are liable if their employees write something derogatory on social media sites about someone linked to the business – whether that’s another employee, a customer or supplier? And this still applies even if the employee writes the remarks outside of business hours and off business premises.

“So as an employer, how can you protect yourself?

The easiest way is to create a company Social Media Policy and circulate it to all employees.

This should cover all aspects of how you expect your employees to behave online.

“Even if the employee is not making reference to your business, they still need to behave in a certain manner on public sites – for example, it would be unacceptable for your employee to make racist or violent comments and threats.

“As an employer, you have responsibilities and you have to protect your reputation. Like it or not, your employees are an extension of your company image, brand and reputation.

Comments they make can be linked back to your business and, in extreme cases, may significantly damage the business.

“Let’s consider this example: a customer comes into the salon and

48 | www.thesalonmagazine.co.uk

complains about everything from start to finish: the waiting area has run out of magazines, the coffee served isn’t hot enough, the music being played is too loud, and so on… An employee who knows the customer (Mrs Smith) tells their colleague about her personal history.

Later that day, the employee who’d being dealing with Mrs Smith writes on Facebook: ‘I’ve had the day from hell, and it didn’t help that Mrs Smith came

in and the stupid cow complained about everything. No wonder her husband ran off with the next door neighbour lol!’ It just so happened that a friend of this employee was also a friend of Mrs Smith and forwarded the comment to her. As you can imagine, Mrs Smith was extremely upset and angry about the post.

The next morning, Mrs Smith went back

into the salon and told the owner all about the Facebook post, demanding they take action against the employee. As the owner did not have a Social Media Policy, the employee argued that they could write whatever they wanted to because they hadn’t been told otherwise. In order to resolve the situation, the owner ended up paying compensation to Mrs Smith for the hurt and embarrassment caused.

“This simple example shows what can happen when a seemingly private comment is made on a social media site.

For the employer, it can quickly spiral out of control and ruin their reputation.

But if a proper policy had been in place, the whole episode could have been avoided since the employee would have known it was against the rules of their employment to post such a comment. Even if they had still posted the comment, the employer would have been within their rights to take them through a disciplinary procedure and potentially resolve the issue without having to pay compensation to the customer.

“For hairdressers, excellent customer service is key is sustaining a client base.

So don’t let your employees risk ruining the reputation you’ve worked so hard to build up.”

MANAGER PRO

Social skills Steve Rowbottom reveals why social media is big business when it comes to boosting a salon brand

“T

oday’s ever changing and competitive marketplace means it’s vital that salon owners make their business visible.

Social networks are a true cultural and financial force and offer relationshipbuilding opportunities that are virtually limitless, with ever-expanding platforms that allow us access to information, prospects and alliances both nationally and internationally.

“The digital media landscape is being shaped and re-shaped by the convergence of major technological developments and changes in consumer behaviour. With this in mind, at Westrow our aim has been to integrate as many of these changes into our business as possible.

To achieve this we have invested heavily in our social media strategy to increase brand awareness and further develop relationships with our customers.

“As a result we have enlisted a dedicated in-house department to professionally manage all areas of social media for the brand since January ‘12. This ensures we can actively work towards gearing our social media campaigns to specific client groups. One of the biggest advantages this strategy offers our business is the ability to measure our online influence, as we can measure the strategies that are working and those that aren’t. From this we can alter our content strategy

50 | www.thesalonmagazine.co.uk

to increase our audience engagement.

We are able to gain valuable consumer feedback and analysis, which allows us to promote better practices and planning for the future of the business.

“At Westrow we use different social media platforms in different ways: Twitter

is used to drive people around Westrow’s offers and push them on to our blog or Westrow TV YouTube Channel. We also push people to the product offers on our e-commerce site Besthairbrands.com and use it as a news ticker to keep people informed. With Facebook we can expand on these in a little more detail and be more expressive.

“For any business it’s about taking a proactive stance towards audience building; if you don’t specifically target your audience you have very little chance of being seen in an already crowded market place. So we like to shout a little louder than most.

“The major benefit to our business is that the larger our targeted market, the more effective our ‘audience reach’ is at getting our message across, which in turn increases the chance of people engaging with us. A strong social media strategy builds trust between you and your clients and potential ones, and enables you to deal directly with any questions they may have, which greater increases the chance of them not only becoming customers, but also recommending you.

“In any business communication is a key aspect of its success.

In these challenging times, having an online digital strategy that also communicates your brand message is vital.

A digital media strategy needs a destination, so ensure you keep on the right route.

And remember: it’s not only about the destination, but the journey you take to get there, so endeavour to make yours as picturesque as possible.

Steve Rowbottom has more than 30 years’ experience in the hairdressing industry and is co-director of the Westrow hairdressing group, which operates seven salons across Yorkshire.

EDUCATION

From apprentice to educator Tegan Chapman reveals how effective work-based training saw her rise through the ranks at Saks

“I

began my career as a hairdressing apprentice with Saks Apprenticeships and during this time I worked at the Saks Darlington and Newcastle salons completing my NVQ Levels Two and Three and the L’Oreal Colour Specialist Degree.

After completing my apprenticeship and working at Saks Bishop Auckland for a number of years, I made the move into the education sector working at the Saks Darlington Academy as a senior hairdressing educator. I spent seven years there, and was really lucky to work with some incredibly talented students along

the way.

“Last month I moved across to Saks Apprenticeships to work as an educator.

It’s a really exciting and challenging role that gives me the best of both worlds: I enjoy the buzz of the salon while knowing I’m passing on my expert skills and knowledge to learners.

“I’ve had an amazing journey through the ranks at Saks and I’m lucky that I’ve been given the chance to try so many different roles at a world-renowned company. Hopefully this is an inspiration to current apprentices – if you put the hard work in you’ll reap the rewards.”

Let it shine Introducing four new products in the Amargan Hair Therapy family

A

s one of the first professional hair care ranges to harness the power of argan oil and recognise its healing properties, Amargan Hair Therapy continues to lead the way by developing innovative and effective products.

The latest additions to the collection, which is manufactured exclusively in the UK and sold via professional hair salons, are four argan-enriched styling products.

Amargan Ultimate Curl (200ml) is for clients who want to embrace their natural curls. The product has been developed to effectively manage the problems associated with taming curly tresses.

Applied to wet hair, it wraps an invisible layer of elasticity around each strand adding shine, definition and texture. As the hair dries, the curls spring into life – and unlike many other products, the product

won’t dry hard and brittle but will leave the hair feeling soft and supple.

Meanwhile, three additional styling products in retail-friendly 100ml sizes, also containing argan oil for brilliant condition, have joined the range.

First up, Amargan Hair Therapy Control Cream produces a soft, pliable and silky sheen on finished hairstyles adding shine, definition and sealing flyaway hairs. Secondly, Amargan Hair Therapy Matt Finish produces super hold with texture and high definition that will secure a lasting hairstyle for the entire day. And last but not least, Amargan Hair Therapy Style Shaper promises to ensure a strong hold with a soft sheen - giving stylists and consumers the freedom to create any style they desire.

Additional Lengths supplies and dispatches goods worldwide and operates both walk-in stores and an extensive online e-store where hairdressers can purchase hair extensions supplies. Along with its retail business, the company also offers a range of services including specialist training for qualified hairdressers and colleagues. More recently it also launched a dedicated service for hair loss suffers, utilising modern hair replacement technology and techniques.

Additional Lengths will showcase its new product lines at this years’ Salon

International in October – its biggest show to date. For more information and to find out more about the brand’s 10-year anniversary promotions, visit Additionallengths.co.uk
