L

ondon came alive last month as the industry remembered Vidal Sassoon, Salon International celebrated its fortieth birthday and some of the world’s best stylists converged on stage at the Tribute and Alternative Hair shows 2012.

October is always a busy time for all salon professionals; but with so many significant milestones, careers and occasions celebrated, this year was a particularly momentous month and it will undoubtedly be remembered by many.

It was indeed a month of sorrow and nostalgia as well as joy and optimism for the future.

We said a heartfelt goodbye to the globe’s biggest hair legend at a special memorial service and recognised his far-spanning impact on the entire global industry. We also celebrated the talents of today and tomorrow in true hair and beauty industry style by showcasing awe-inspiring work both onstage at Salon International and during sell out shows at Alternative Hair and Tribute.

I was lucky enough to be invited to Sassoon’s memorial service at St Paul’s Cathedral, which was filled with hundreds of people all wanting to pay tribute to the life of the world’s most famous hairdresser. Rather than a traditional funeral, the ceremony was a celebration of his talent and success rather than a sombre affair; although there were tears shed, particularly during Elan Sassoon’s

tribute where he described his father’s unwavering ambition and generosity (read the full story on page 10).

Similarly, this year’s Alternative Hair Show managed to spread joy and hope while still delivering its poignant message of helping others in need. Celebrating its 30-year anniversary, the charity has raised nearly £9 million for leukaemia research – the disease that took the life of both founder Tony Rizzo’s son and Vidal Sassoon, who was a worldwide patron for the cause.

Held in the late hairdresser’s honour, some of the industry’s greatest living legends took part in a series of presentations in homage of his work and that of other legends around the world. And led by his creativity, it was clear to all those that attended that the legacy of his innovative style of hairdressing lives on.

This year’s event raised over £193,000 for the cause (turn to page seven for the inside story).

So as we look to the future of hairdressing and the salon industry as a whole, it’s met with positively.

No one will ever replace Vidal Sassoon. But his determination and talent along with the work of many of his peers will no doubt serve as an inspiration for hairdressers and salon professionals for many generations to come.

INDUSTRY UpDaTe

Alternative Hair Show 2012 honours industry legends with an awe-inspiring 30-year anniversary celebration

T

he Royal Albert Hall was filled last month for the Alternative Hair Show’s hotly anticipated thirtieth anniversary presentation. Underpinned by the theme ‘legends’, thousands of international hairdressers, press and brand representatives witnessed the work of some of the greatest living stylists from all four corners of the world with an awe-inspiring collective of live hair presentations.

Presented by founder Tony Rizzo and president Anthony Mascolo, the show included spectacular interpretations of the event’s theme by 20 esteemed hair teams from around the world. The likes of Sassoon, Saco, TIGI, Alan Edwards, Sanrizz, Mahogany and Trevor Sorbie were present to fly the flag for the UK, while international teams such as Gerry Santoro, Rizos and David Murray jetted in

from as far a field as Japan to show their support for the cause.

Standout presentations included a rainbow of primary-coloured geometric bobs and crops by Sanrizz (pictured); sky-high vintage and voyeuristic bouffants

by Slovenia’s Stevo team; and TIGI UK’s homage to Alexander McQueen.

Vidal Sassoon was also remembered as part of the event as the “late and great” original hairdressing legend. Led by his son Elan, daughter Eden and wife Ronnie, the audience gave a standing ovation when they were presented with a unique award in memory of the iconic hairdresser, who was also the charity’s worldwide patron.

But as the evening was a celebration of true legends, it was also a chance to recognise the stars of the future. The event’s live shows were followed by the announcement of the prestigious

International Visionary Award, which went to Dublin’s Michelle McDermott from the Peter Mark hairdressing salon. Beating off stiff competition from creative teams from around the entire globe, the young stylist wowed judges with a statement scarlet crop featuring a precision cut fringe. The winner will now be invited to take part in next year’s Alternative Hair Show with a presentation of her own.

The Alternative Hair Show was founded in 1983 after Sanrizz’s Tony Rizzo and his wife lost their son to leukaemia. To raise money for others suffering from the disease, the hairdresser organised a oneoff charity show. However, its popularity led to more events and throughout its history it has seen many of the world’s greatest hairdressers taking to the stage.

To date it has raised almost £9 million in support of Leukaemia and Lymphoma research.

The new mobile-equipped site offers online shopping and order tracking while customers will be able to take advantage of a new loyalty scheme soon.

Hundreds of people attended a memorial service last month to celebrate the life of Vidal Sassoon CBE at St Paul’s Cathedral in London.

Among the guests leading the tributes were his wife Ronnie, actor Sir Michael Caine, Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman, fashion designers Mary Quant and Zandra Rhodes as well as hairdressers Nicky Clarke, Lee Stafford, Tony Rizzo and John Frieda.

The hour-long Christian and Jewish service included celestial singing, readings and addresses from the late hairdresser’s close friends and family as well as hymns and prayers.

Conducted by the Right Reverend Michael Colclough, the congregation was asked to remember Vidal’s “creativity, flair, generosity and friendship.” Lord David Puttnam CBE explained how he’d helped change the nation’s attitude to class by never attempting to conceal his upbringing in an East End orphanage; Rabbi Julia Neuberger from the West London Synagogue led a traditional Jewish Kaddish prayer for mourners and Jeremy Irons read A.E. Housman’s To An Athlete Dying Young. Finally, Sassoon’s son Elan gave a tearful description of his relationship with his father who he said had penchant for “Chelsea soccer and beautiful women” as well as giving money to those in need.

Sassoon died on 9 May 2012 after a decade-long battle with leukaemia.

Fudge collaborates with world-renowned architect to launch pop-up salon Fudge joined forces with internationally renowned architect Zaha Hadid recently to launch its first pop-up salon. Set inside her Clerkenwell-based gallery, the cool monochrome space featured bold polygonal shapes on the floor, two single standalone hair stations as well as a model of one of the designer’s latest buildings.

Fudge’s creative team offered invitees hair advice and styling as well as cut and colour services. Creative director John Vial comments: “This was an important collaboration for Fudge as it brought hair, fashion and design together to help position the brand as a key player. The feedback from the guests and the buzz it created in the design world was really exciting.”

The salon was open for five days to coincide with London Fashion Week and the London Design Festival.

New report commissioned

by EasyDry reveals potential hygiene risks behind cotton towels Salon clients could be at risk from bacterial infestations lurking on dirty cotton towels, warns a newly published report commissioned by EasyDry. The eco-towel pioneer says that bacteria such as MRSA can survive on cotton towels for up to 21 days, and that such organisms might not be eradicated during laundering if low temperatures or bleach-free detergents are used. Its disposable versions use grade one bacteria-resistant fibre created in a ‘clean room’ that has an enclosed, almost sterile, environment.

The towels are said to inhibit bacteria growth without the use of chemical additives and undergo regular batch testing to ensure they are as close as possible to being sterile without going through a sterilisation process.

Popular with professionals, the airbrush system delivers flawless results using a compact wireless compressor. Salons can introduce the service to their menu for £350 + VAT, which includes a day’s training (Airbasemakeup.com).

Eva Longoria requested the talents of celebrity nail artist Leah Light when she jetted into New Zealand last month to launch The Shopping Channel and her new perfume.

The tech treated her to an on-trend Minx manicure and pedicure and reveals that the Hollywood star was pleased to be able to indulge in nail fashion after being under strict beauty guidelines throughout the filming for Desperate Housewives. Light says: “I applied the Matte Silver and Silver Hourglasses Minx on Eva’s fingers, and then she requested I come back the next day for a Minx pedicure. I used Chrome Silver and Gold Swirls Minx on her toes, and she said she loved them.”

the forefront with their exceptional versatility, strength and longevity.

They really seem to be making their mark.”

New product launches over the past few years have also made creating long natural-looking nails much easier for techs.

And as new systems have been perfected and training becomes more widespread, obtaining celebrity and catwalk inspired finishes in the salon has become a reality for today’s heavily influenced clients.

“Now products are stronger, last longer and application is made much easier,” Smedley adds. “Ease of use has improved so much, with self-levelling products enabling the technician to perform her service in a more efficient and speedy manner with greater accuracy.

This helps for finish filing, as the applied product will have been closer to perfect than ever before.”

Rather than using tips and overlaying them with acrylic, this has opened the doors to free-form sculpture, allowing techs to create diverse shapes that are more tailored to the client’s needs.

“Free form sculpting is much more popular now,” says Crick. “This gives the technician many more options and enables them to achieve a deeper C curve, which in turn can create an extreme nail.”

IMAGES COURTESY OF CREATIVE NAIL DESIGN INC

hort nails have been the manicure choice de jour for a number of years.

But as more celebrities experiment with longer styles and fashion designers send their models down the runway wearing exaggerated tips, clients across the country are turning down short shape and paints in favour of artificial nails.

Rather than the ‘90s penchant for overtly artificial, square pink and white talons, today’s ultra-trendy versions are natural looking, oval or stiletto in shape, and often impractically long.

Moreover, instead of a French finish, new products offering infinite colour options and interesting textures have led to an “anything goes” approach.

Justine Crick, CND’s Educator Ambassador of the Year 2012 (Justinecrick.com), thinks that a growing trend for nail art has paved the way for longer styles. “Nails are the latest accessory and over recent years we’ve seen a huge change with top designers and runway shows accessorising manicures to complete the overall final look,” she says. “Nail art is back in fashion and so much more can be achieved on a perfectly extended nail enhancement than a short, natural nail – giving the client more choices.”

Indeed, led by the likes of pop stars Rihanna, Katy Perry and Jessie J, there’s been a clear merge between urban culture and high fashion as increasing numbers of women use their nails as an extension of their style.

The road to gel However, the biggest reason for the U-turn in style has been the introduction of advanced products and improved artificial systems. “We initially saw a backlash against the long nail, which came from the thick, fake looking enhancements that were popular in the early ‘90s,” says Rene Lipsitz, director of Bio Sculpture Gel UK. “But technology has advanced so much that now natural looking extensions can be created with a variety of systems – including gel.”

Georgie Smedley, director of Nail Harmony UK, agrees that gel is taking over liquid and powder (or acrylic) systems thanks to improved features. “Up until very recently, acrylic systems always seemed to be the favourite for creating long artificial nails,” she says. “However, in more recent years, hard gels have come into

Absolutely acrylic And despite the increasing demand for hard and soak-off gels, Debbie Timberlake from the Free Edge Nail Academy in Portsmouth (Freeedgenailacademy.

PRODUCTS & TREATMENTS

co.uk) says that acrylics have also moved on “leaps and bounds”. She explains: “Polymers are finer, brushes are superior, monomer odours have been reduced, primers are less aggressive and some product companies now zinc coat their files to reduce heat build up.”

According to the expert, the new systems can create nails that are also more wearer-friendly for the client. “As today’s products are more flexible rather than hard rigid set, nails can be left longer as when knocked they flex as opposed to a ridged nail will either pop at base or snap at the stress zone.”

Moreover, advances in coloured polymer powders and soak-off gel means techs can get even more creative at the nail table. “There is so much for techs to offer their clients,” Crick says. “They can custom colour blend to their skin tones

36 | www.thesalonmagazine.co.uk

and achieve their specific requirements so they are much more individual. Pigment additives are the latest products on the market today and the technicians can use their creativity with these. There are no limits to the artistry that can be achieved.”

Industry evolution Rising demand for soak off coloured gels that are overlaid onto the natural nail has meant some clients are able to grow their own rather than opting for enhancements.

Bio Sculpture’s Rene Lipsitz says that while techs can use the company’s hard gels to create sculpted nails, the soak-off product can also aid the growth process.

“With Bio Sculpture Gel we can create natural looking sculptures in extreme shapes and styles but it also gives clients the option to grow their own nails,” she says. “The nourishing treatment gives

strength to natural nails, which allows them to grow without breaking.”

But whichever system you opt for, the main advice asserted by all the experts is to ensure your techs are up-to-date with training so they can offer clients the best results. “Training on a regular basis is always recommended as product houses improve products and techniques and this needs to be passed onto the technician,” says Smedley. “Many techs do not realise the value of this.”

So whether your clients want impractical stiletto nails or neat natural manicures, the only way to keep up with trends is to invest in education. As Timberlake concludes: “The nail industry is ever evolving; who knows what will be introduced next. Nail trends much like hair trends tend to go full circle so brush up on your technical skills and keep ahead.”

Festive promotions, salon technology to invest in now and how to have a happy New Year

Christmas W crackers

hile November and December is potentially your busiest time on the calendar, creating a festive strategy is essential to make the most of the season. So from sending out Christmas cards containing New Year incentives to encouraging your staff to work longer hours, we reveal how to get the best out of the party season right here‌

BUSINESS

ways to have a happy Christmas Make the most of this year’s festive rush with a carefully masterminded strategy DON’T REST ON YOUR LAURELS Just because the salon is busy now, don’t sit back and do nothing.

Use the peak time to promote your services to reach even more clients because once January and February arrives, it could be a different story altogether. “Now is a prime time to reach a captive audience,” says Amy Armitage, marketing executive for Xen-Tan and Glamglow UK. “Make sure you not only remind clients of what you offer, but also to let them know how you plan to extend your offering throughout the holiday season. Late night salon evenings once a week can attract an audience you never had before.”

CREATE A FESTIVE AMBIENCE

While clients will probably want to seek sanctuary in your salon away from the hustle and bustle on the high street, creating a Christmas atmosphere can help raise spirits and sales. “A little festive background music can work wonders on Christmas spirit, but rather than choosing music that may irritate, use something that will have a soothing effect,” says Lizzie Benton, PR and marketing assistant at Palms Extra.

“Also, why not give your customers a little treat with festive sweets on hand for them to nibble on? A simple gesture like this adds a personal touch to the salon experience.”

SEND OUT CHRISTMAS INCENTIVE CARDS It’s nice to acknowledge your clients’ valued custom with a personalised Christmas card. However, it’s even better to use the tradition to give them a reason to return in the New Year. At the Sally Montague Hair Group in Derbyshire, clients each receive a card containing a recommend-a-friend voucher or treatment offer for January. Meanwhile, at salon group Westrow, clients receive a full-size shampoo and conditioner or a free insalon treatment. “This is a great incentive to encourage repeat business in the quieter month of January,” says director Steve Rowbottom. “These cards are given to every client who visits the salon from mid November through to Christmas Eve.”

48 | www.thesalonmagazine.co.uk

OR DIGITAL E-CARDS

Cheaper to send than the traditional versions while still highly effective, sending out e-cards to customers a few days before Christmas is a great way to promote New Year offers. “We send out e-cards like this every year and they always achieve high open rates,” says award-winning fashion stylist and make-up artist Justine Collins of Pinkgloss in Gloucestershire. “The timing still gives clients a chance to ring and book in to take advantage of the promotion before we close for the holiday. It gives clients a good deal after the spending spree of Christmas and ensures that we’re kept busy at a time when business is traditionally quiet.”

BUSINESS OFFER THE FIVE-STAR SERVICE Going the extra mile for clients at all times will always cultivate a happy client base. And during Christmas, when time is short, the small things will really count towards retaining loyal fans. The Richard Ward Hair and Metrospa in Chelsea is not only championing a complete festive menu of pre-party beautifiers including eye-lash extensions and sunless tanning: its team is also offering clients a complimentary dog walking service so they can truly relax and indulge in some muchneeded rest and rejuvenation.

STOCK UP ON GIFTS Take the stress out of Christmas shopping for clients by offering them the perfect gift ideas. At Westrow, the salon’s retail figures can almost quadruple during December thanks to its range of bespoke sets that are heavily promoted through multi-buy offers and a free gift wrapping service. “We pre-pack gift sets based on hair type and texture offering a multi-buy option so clients can buy for friends or family,” says Rowbottom. “We also offer complimentary styling or heat protective products as a gift with the purchase of styling irons and tongs. This definitely increases retail as it offers our clients value for money.”

MAXIMISE VISUAL MERCHANDISING

The way you display your retail gift ideas can make or break a sale. So make sure your message is crystal clear for clients by clearly identifying that you have something for everyone. “People are always on the look-out for buying gifts,” says Armitage. “But think beyond mums, sisters and friends and help clients find something for those harder to buy for – I personally always struggle with grandparents or that secret Santa present. Or, you could also promote your lower priced products as perfect stocking fillers.”

FOCUS ON VALUE Added value is a buzz phrase we’ve heard a lot since the recession. Instead of enticing clients with discounting, offering them more for their pounds will retain your service’s worth and keep them coming back.

“This Christmas we’ll be offering bespoke canvas bags full of goodies for every voucher purchased,” says salon owner Sally Montague. And such a move will no doubt raise interest among clients.

INSTIL HARD WORK While it’s known as the party season elsewhere, anyone that works in the salon industry knows that December equals hard work. And while it may not be appreciated initially, team members need to be encouraged to work hard with a range of incentives such as time off in the New Year and commission.

“Bookings need to be maximised around the festive season so staff work longer hours as well as Sundays,” says Montague. “This time can be taken off in lieu in early January. The festive period is the time stylists can really increase their retail sales, so they should be committed to spending longer hours in the salon.”

USE EVERY SPACE Take your lead from the nation’s biggest retailers and place great value festive goodies at key points around the salon – including the reception desk.

“We like to put an eye-catching and well-signed display of products that would make ideal stocking fillers or small Christmas gifts in a basket by our reception,” says Gary Edge, owner of Zaks Hairdressing in Wolverhampton. “While clients are settling up they cannot fail to see our festive goodie basket and will often make a purchase or two to top up their gift supply. It helps them and is an extra income source for us.”

BUSINESS COLLABORATE WITH SUPPLIERS

Joining forces with your key brands for festive promotions can be a great way to make an impact. These can then be used to lead your entire seasonal strategy, taking centre stage in the windows and throughout the salon.

“One of the most effective marketing strategies that is often forgotten is to jump on the back of any promotions or gifts your suppliers are marketing over the Christmas season,” says Armitage.

“And don’t forget to ask for some beauty press to support any of the initiatives you decide to put in place.”

INVEST IN ON-HOLD MARKETING

When the phones are busy and clients are placed on hold, salons have a captive audience for outlining special offers and promotions. “In the run-up to the festive period, messaging can incorporate opening times, special events, promotions or new products, ensuring customers are given up-todate information when they call to make an enquiry or appointment,” says Mark Williamson, marketing director for PH Media Group. “This ensures any activity carried out will be properly supported.

After all, promotions will only work if they are communicated effectively.” Phmg.com

OR OPEN LATE NIGHTS HOST AN IN-SALON EVENT

Successful boutiques and retailers hold special events for their most valued customers around Christmas time, so why do the same in the salon? “Organising a small VIP event for your most loyal customers is a brilliant way to show your appreciation and reward them for their continued support,” says Dermalogica’s UK sales manager Celia Rose. “Offer goody bags and serve refreshments while treatment demonstrations take place to encourage advanced bookings.”

Justine Collins suggests revising your opening times so they’re in line with the rest of the high street. “At our Christmas shopping evenings we run a ‘buy two, get one free’ offer on our gift vouchers that can be redeemed for spa treatments. Sometimes clients are so stressed about trying to find a physical gift they forget that a treatment or makes a very thoughtful present and is a real treat for the lucky recipient. These particular gift vouchers have a redemption date from 1 January 2013 so from our point of view it helps with cash flow and drums up business in the New Year too.”

THINK OUTSIDE OF THE BOX

Festive promotions should excite clients while gently persuading them to re-book or spend more money. And the more creative you can be with achieving this goal, the better. Carl Mitchell, MD of Bonce Salons, always holds a competition in December to give clients a chance to win a free service in the New Year. “This is open to all clients that book an appointment for January in December,” he says. “The great thing is that stylists feel comfortable promoting this and it always gets clients rebooking. It’s been a great way to build up our January bookings and to give us that new start to the New Year.”

OFFER FESTIVE INSPIRED SERVICES Whether it’s Christmas nail art designs or body treatments using festive scented products, designing services especially for the season can be a great way to gain column inches in the local press along with raised interest among clients. Grafton International has teamed up with session tech Ami Streets to design an exclusive nail art design for its salons using Orly products. “This will hopefully encourage more bookings and help clients feel inspired,” says PR and marketing coordinator Faye Taylor. “We’ll also be supplying salons with bespoke tent cards featuring the design to give our customers a chance to link-sell.”

The game changers Keeping up with new technology has never been more important.

We reveal the latest marketing and promotions moves you need to make now INVEST IN AN APP Mobile apps are one of the biggest breakthroughs in communications and marketing technology to hit consumers in recent years. From Topshop to Amazon, every forward-thinking business on the planet is investing in a must-have app.

But for SMEs, whose budgets are limited, paying for an external company to design something so cutting edge that might quickly date can seem like an unjustifiable expensive. Lucky then that new company Salon Booking App is giving small businesses the chance to keep up with technology for £15 a month and no contract. Offering a platform compatible

52 | www.thesalonmagazine.co.uk

with iPhone, Android and Blackberry, its personalised mobile and Facebook app will deliver booking information, special offers and contact information straight to your clients’ phones. And best of all, the company is currently offering a 14-day fully functional free trial, so salon owners can test the water before they hit the ground running (Salonbookingapp.com).

EXPLOIT SOCIAL MEDIA There’s no doubt that social media is here to stay. And as developers at Facebook and the like try and mastermind new ways to keep consumers interested, there’s set to be even more ways for businesses

to reach out to potential clients. The news is great for SMEs as it levels the playing field between them and the big guys as the only thing needed to fuel a successful campaign is time and knowhow. Moreover, with more salon software firms cottoning on to the advantages of social media, we’re set to see new digital link-ups that will make the process more effective still. One such company is Phorest, which claims to be the industry’s first system to be fully integrated with Facebook and Twitter. In addition to managing a salon’s clients, appointments and stock control, it helps generates Facebook ‘likes’ and enables clients to

BUSINESS spread word-of-mouth through automatic reviews. Moreover, the system also lets salons take credit card secured online bookings directly through Facebook and their own websites (Phorest.com).

ENCOURAGE ONLINE REVIEWS While many salon owners consider negative online reviews as a bad thing, if handled well, experts say they can boost business credibility. In the modern world where consumers turn to Google and Facebook to find a new salon, online reviews are part and parcel of today’s booking process. So rather than shying away from them altogether, the best plan of action is to keep a tight control and respond to any negative criticism professionally. The new SMART system from Shortcuts helps salons manage their own online reputation while generating useful client feedback at the same time.

The service can be set up to automatically send out email or texts to clients asking for star ratings and comments. The salon owner then has full control of where and how their response is published while it also means that they are able to respond to any negativity in the correct way before it goes live (Shortcuts.co.uk).

“When a salon has 100 per cent positive reviews potential clients may question their credibility,” says Tom Bentley Taylor, UK CEO. “But a couple of less than glowing reviews that are responded to effectively by the salon can instantly boost your online reputation. Embracing online reviews is the only way forward.”

tools. Consumers can search for local salons or treatment availability in their area and book online. The data is then filtered through to the salon to eliminate the risk of double bookings. Benefits include reaching a brand new audience, which can only mean more potential bookings.

Salon can sign up to the service for a free listing or pay £30 a month for the entire online booking package. This includes free SMS reminders, bookings via the site and Lastminute.com for a 20 per cent fee, e-voucher packages and access to other online booking avenues such as Facebook (Wahanda.com/business).

stylists and therapists can manage their time slots more accurately by giving them a real-time snap shot of their day ahead.

Its creator says this will help minimise delays, reduce client-waiting times and boost overall salon efficiency (Salongenius. com).

PERSONALISE YOUR SERVICE As businesses compete more aggressively for custom, marketing experts are focused on new ways to help firms deliver a personal service. While this is relatively straightforward for addressing clients faceto-face in the salon, some businesses are taking this one step further by installing a caller ID service at the reception desk.

Salon software specialist StudioTracker has just added a database linked function to its latest version. The company says the innovative application will enable receptionists to see which client is waiting, when their appointment is and which team member they are seeing before they have even answered the phone.

It says that this valuable information will make the reception process more efficient while creating a professional image and improving the overall service (Studiotracker.co.uk).

USE DIRECT MARKETING

INTRODUCE ONLINE BOOKINGS Online booking is the industry’s next big thing and salons are already being somewhat slow off the mark (who books train tickets and flights over the telephone now?). Many salon owners remain frightened by the concept of losing control.

But the truth is, the benefits are huge – not only for the client, but for the general running of the business too. Numerous companies are now also hitting the scene offering clients umbrella bookings in return for commission, much like the highly popular versions in the restaurant and hotel trade. Hair and beauty specialist Wahanda is one such firm. Its relatively new Connect system gives salons and spas access to its 1.5 million monthly visitors with its comprehensive suite of

www.shortcuts.co.uk

GIVE STAFF PERSONAL ACCESS Another notable technology launch to hit salon owners is the ability to offer staff personal access to their own columns via tablets and smart phones. In a bid to help salon professionals organise their days more effectively, SalonGenius has unveiled its MyGenius software that enables staff to view their up-coming appointment slots and analyse and amend client histories using their own hand-held device without having to leave their station or interrupt the receptionist. The service also means that

While companies used to send out blanket messages to a huge database of clients promoting the same offer, new technology means that such communications can be targeted directly. This means that salons can tempt clients into booking or buying retail products that they really want based on their previous buying behaviour. Salon software firm Vantage offers a direct marketing function as part of its system as standard. In three simple steps, salons can edit a campaign from its list of useful templates, select the clients they want to target and then send the message out by email or SMS. Users can write their own messages if they prefer and handpick the clients they want to target based on services they’ve booked in for in the past and when they last visited the salon. This way of marketing eradicates sending out messages that might be considered spam, meaning a higher percentage of recipients are likely to respond. Vantage is currently offering salon owners a standard 30-day free trial, extended to a 60-day trial for Salon Gold policyholders (Vantagesalonsoftware.com).

BRAND PROFILE

Ageing gracefully As it hits its 20-year business milestone, we reveal why CACI is still one of the most sought after non-invasive anti-ageing brands on the planet

C

elebrating its twentieth year in the UK this month, hightech beauty brand CACI International has become globally renowned for the ‘Non-Surgical Facelift’ it launched on our shores in 1992.

The pain-free treatment is revered by top facialists around the world and uses micro-current technology to effectively lift and tone the skin – resulting in a younger looking complexion. Salons can offer clients the full CACI experience using the brand’s own protocols or incorporate the service in other treatments to offer their own menu of bespoke results-driven facials.

Available in over 6,000 locations and 40 countries, the brand is a worldwide success story. And the credentials speak for themselves: not only do Madonna and Jennifer Lopez own their own CACI Ultra Systems, but the brand’s UK turnover is up by 22 per cent and globally by 25 per cent this year despite the gloomy economic outlook. Moreover, the company reported its highest monthly sales figures on record this March when it exceeded over £2 million.

It’s clear that today’s savvy consumers, whatever else is happening with the economy, are prepared to pay for an antiageing treatment that works.

56 | www.thesalonmagazine.co.uk

Healthy heritage The original CACI system was developed

by Dr Thomas Wing in the US for the treatment of facial paralysis condition Bell’s Palsy. The technique was then developed by Dr George Goodheart to help re-educate the facial muscles by triggering a stretch reflex response in the golgi tendon organ of the muscle. This has the effect of either relaxing muscles that are over tense or tightening those that have become flaccid. The CACI system emits tiny electrical impulses within a specific frequency range that triggers a bio-stimulation of the cells, helping to increase ATP levels, stimulate fibroblasts and accelerate tissue repair and healing.

Due to the positive results for treating Bell’s palsy, CACI International launched the CACI system in the UK in 1992 as a cosmetic treatment, which became coined in the media as the ‘Non-Surgical Facelift’.

As the treatment re-educates the facial muscles it therefore significantly lifts and tones the skin. The use of probes to deliver micro-currents reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles while increasing blood and lymph circulation, the production of collagen and elastin as well as enhancing the penetration and effectiveness of skincare formulations.

The ‘Non-Surgical Facelift’ became front-page news after Princess Diana was reported as a fan of the treatment in 1994. Through interest from public figures and celebrities wanting to look younger, CACI made its name across the media reaching out to millions of consumers.

Today CACI still offers the ‘Non-Surgical Facelift’ as well as highly effective body treatments across four systems: CACI Classic, CACI Quantum, CACI Ultra and CACI Ultimate. The CACI Ultimate is the latest system offering the ‘Ultimate

Non-Surgical Face-Lift’, which boasts a viable non-surgical alternative to a face lift, facial peel, Botox and dermal fillers.

The machine provides solutions for facial toning, lines and wrinkles, eye bags, skin hydration, peeling, acne, neck treatments, cellulite and stretch marks with the use of orbital microdermabrasion, wrinkle comb LED light therapy, microcurrent, hydratone and an electro cellulite massager.

UK MD Dean Nathanson believes that CACI’s success is largely down to its treatment’s abilities as well as its list of fans. He says: “The brand has attracted an enviable A-list celebrity following and is the most publicised machine-based treatment on the market. It also offers clients non-invasive results, meaning it is one of the most sought after services available. This makes it a fantastic business investment for any salon serious about generating significant revenue.”

The CACI Ultimate costs £9,900 or from £12.48 per day as part of a fixed term rental plan. Tel: 0208 731 5678 Caci-international.co.uk

MANAGER PRO

The youth of today With young team members featuring on every salon floor, Stuart Holmes shares his insight into managing industry newcomers

“M

anaging a team that is made up of a large percentage of under21s requires a very different approach to managing a more mature team. In my experience, younger people respond best to managers who can help coach them through their first few years of employment.

Young people don’t want to be patronised; they need to feel valued and just as important as those who have years of experience.

“When a young person joins your salon, this could potentially be their first proper job. Therefore you do not only have to train them professionally, you also have to train them for life in the workplace.

“For some new staff, this is a big shock. Turning up to work on time, following instructions and acting professionally in front of clients are some of the simple hurdles that we regularly have to iron out when new team members join. A friendly-yet-firm tone from the beginning means that respect for company policy will be engrained from the start.

“It’s so important to keep young people motivated. After the novelty of the new job dies down and they realise that the reality of working life is forever, it is imperative that managers continue to provide staff with opportunities to keep them excited and engaged.

“All of my team are motivated by the promise of working on magazine shoots and high profile runway shows. From apprentice level up to senior stylist, I like to get everyone involved.

“We also offer a vast array of staff social activities too. It is important that managers think outside the box and don’t

58 | www.thesalonmagazine.co.uk

just organise activities that would appeal to the older members of the team. At The Stuart Holmes Hair and Beauty Spa we do everything from video nights to trips to Westfield in London and group outings to The Secret Cinema.

“Young people need to be nurtured and often need their self-confidence boosted.

If they feel proud of where they work and the opportunities they are offered, this is always a good start.

“I always find I get the best results out of our team members by focusing on what they can do instead of what they can’t.

Feeling proficient in one area will help them move on to others and feel capable of achieving.

“It’s important that all staff – no matter

what their age – feel valued. I want my team members to contribute ideas, so anyone who brings suggestions to my attention is commended. No idea is too silly or weak. I give constant public recognition at all levels to staff that provide valuable business or creative input or show they are thinking about the wider business goals. Some of the best ideas have come from the younger team members during our staff forum sessions.

“One skill that young people are sometimes lacking these days is a good grasp of figures and this is vital when working in a commercial salon. As a result, think about what extra support you can provide to help them in this area. We offer regular training courses to help our staff improve their maths and English.

These functional skills are now incorporated into NVQs but see what you can do to go over and above.

“Finally, staff will come and go – especially the younger ones.

They are still finding their direction, so don’t take it to heart. Make sure you protect yourself though by introducing staff bonds for training. We have done this and it works very well. Those that receive a lot of training contribute over 12 months from their wages to a deposit that we retain which helps cover course costs. When they have worked for the salon for a certain period, we then release it back to them. This helps protect the business and stops young staff undergoing training and then leaving.”

Stuart Holmes has over 23 years’ experience in hairdressing and runs the multi-award winning Stuart Holmes Hair and Beauty Spa in Cheltenham with his wife Sara.

BUSINESS TIPS

new direction Salon business expert Scott Bentley reveals some fresh strategies to adopt for a successful 2013

W

ith the festive period upon us, most salon owners will be basking in the delight of the riches that this season brings. December is of course one of the busiest periods on the calendar for salons.

And we’re certainly not complaining.

But there’s a problem on the horizon: January.

The month usually means cold and empty chairs, staff taking time off sick and notoriously poor sales.

But even if everyone else is whinging about the economy, it really doesn’t have to be this way for you.

If you’ve had a great year so far, think of it as a boost to your current business model – just another rung on the ladder of success. And if this year hasn’t been so kind, don’t worry – think of it as a fresh start and focus on the next 12 months as the year you turned it all around. Either way, if you stay focused and determined to succeed using the following new strategies, the results will follow...

COMMUNICATE Throw a ‘fence’ around your clients. While customer loyalty is rare these days, this doesn’t prevent you from ‘barricading’ your clients so they don’t want to go anywhere else. How? By communicating with them on a regular basis – ensuring you give them interesting and useful information and not just asking them to buy. The truth is, your customers will spend when they’re ready and not when you’re ready to sell – so the most effective thing you can do is keep yourself in their view so that when they do decide to buy, they immediately think of you and not your competitors.

FOCUS ON MARKETING Divert your attention to great marketing campaigns.

No matter what business you’re in and how good you are at what you do, your real business is in marketing that business. And contrary to what most people believe, marketing is not about selling:

A bright future Barry Jarega, head of business development at Saks Hair and Beauty, explains the benefits of franchising with the nationally acclaimed salon group

“D

espite a tough economic climate, franchising pioneer Saks Hair and Beauty continues to thrive. With new salons in Barnsley, Reading, Exeter and Aberdeen, the company’s proven business model continues to yield results for its franchisees all around the UK. “If you’re thinking of starting a new business at this tricky time, Saks could be the answer. Founded nearly 40 years ago, it has a successful track record in franchising, a 100-strong network of lucrative branches and firmly established branding as one of the UK’s favourite hair and beauty salon groups.

“All potential franchisees need is a passion for the industry and a dedication to their business. In return, Saks provides

the brand, in-depth training for salon owners and their teams as wel as all the business tools and ongoing support required to succeed. You could soon be enjoying running your own profitable salon within a national network where you can turn to anybody – from dedicated

Plus you could open a brand new salon, take over an established one, or even convert your existing business.
