No part of this magazine may be reproduced or stored in a retrieval system or transmitted in any form – electronic, mechanical or physical – without express prior permission and written consent of the publisher.

hile this magazine is just as focused on beauty as it is on hair, we decided to dedicate the majority of this issue to the latter. Following on from September’s beauty-orientated edition, the focal point of this month’s contents ties in perfectly with Salon International (ExCel, London; 12-14 October) from our eye-opening feature on the hairdressing tools that top stylists can’t live without (page 35-36) to our report on the very latest developments in the hair extensions sector (page 41-43). If you offer hair services in your salon then these are two features that you definitely shouldn’t miss.

But of course this month it isn’t just all about hairdressing. October is also Breast Cancer Awareness Month and some of the industry’s biggest manufacturers have unveiled super-covetable limited edition products to help raise money for the cause.

With one person diagnosed with the disease in the UK every 10 minutes, it affects more people – particularly in an industry so dominated by women – than any other form of cancer. That said, advancements in treatment and diagnostics means that survival rates are improving. And these have only been made possible by the fundraising and awareness drives carried out by people – including those from the UK hair and beauty industry – all over the world. So with this in mind, we’ve hunted down some of the best pink products on offer this year to help you stock up your shelves and do your bit to stamp out Breast Cancer forever on page 30.

Elsewhere in this issue we’ve been thinking about the weeks leading up to the Christmas rush and what you can do now to ensure you’re busy the entire season. Traditionally, December is one of the most lucrative times for salon owners followed by spring and then summer. However, with a little bit of forward planning now alongside some expert advice from some of the country’s best business minds, it’s possible to keep your appointment schedules jam-packed all AW13 long (and well into the New Year too). So whether it’s adding on low-cost, high-return services such as gel-polish manicures or masterminding irresistible promotions, we’ve created the ultimate A to Z guide to boosting your profits this winter, starting from page 58.

Last but not least, we also deliberate the rising authority the online world has over salon businesses this issue on page 52. From using social media to attract new clients – and keep in touch with regulars – to offering an online booking option for those that are sat behind a screen all day, don’t miss our feature to find out if you’re making the most of the modern world’s love affair with digital communication.

Toni and Guy celebrates fiftieth birthday with world’s first music festival dedicated to a hair brand

O

ver 4,000 hairdressers attended Toni and Guy’s 50-year anniversary celebrations last month at a music festival at Knebworth House.

In addition to an awe-inspiring catwalk showcase that featured hair looks inspired by the past five decades, attendees from all corners of the globe were treated to the best of British urban music from headline acts Labrinth and Tinchy Stryder as well as dance tunes

by Australian singer Iggy Azalea.

Hair professionals from Toni and Guy’s salons across the globe arrived on the sunny September afternoon to the full festival experience, which included two stages, glamping tents, several food vans, bars and fairground rides as well as pop-up pampering lounges courtesy of Shu Uemura, Essie, ghd and L’Oreal Professionnel.

But the proceedings really got underway when the undercover main stage opened with a marching band leading guests inside the big top tent to more bars, a stage and a huge imposing catwalk.

British fashion designer Giles Deacon even kept the crowds entertained with an exclusive DJ set.

The Mascolo family were the first on stage and welcomed the crowd before announcing the winners of Toni and Guy’s annual awards. Following a musical interlude with a surprise performance by East London beatboxer Beardyman, the catwalk came alive with presentations from designers Giles and Jean-Pierre Braganza, who have both worked with the brand for several seasons. Guests were also able to look back at the salon group’s 50-year history with some of its most memorable re-created styles gracing the stage from the likes of Anthony Mascolo

and avant-garde star Indira Schauwecker.

The show ended with representatives from all 46 countries Toni and Guy is present in taking to the catwalks to wave their nations’ flags. Revellers then continued the party well into the night and the next morning.

Creative global director Sacha MascoloTarbuck says: “50 years is an impressive achievement for any brand and I am particularly proud to say that it is through my father’s hard work and dedication to every salon that we are still here today.

After spending almost a year trying to create an event worthy to mark such an auspicious occasion, my aim was to include every single member of staff from across the globe to come together and celebrate something unique. This festival was all about paying respect to what has been but also looking firmly forward to the next 50 years and what they will bring.”

INDUSTRY UPDATE

Happy birthday Karine Jackson celebrated its 10-year business milestone last month with a celebratory party for clients, industry peers and press. Guests – which included Margherita Taylor and Errol Douglas – joined the eponymous owner for champagne, canapés and cake.

Top salons, individuals and teams recognised at British Hairdressing Business Awards 2013 Some of the salon world’s most influential business minds gathered at London’s Lancaster Hotel last month for HJ’s annual British Hairdressing Business Awards 2013.

Guests, which included salon owners, brand ambassadors and sponsors, arrived to a champagne reception followed by a three-course dinner before the names of the winners of 16 categories were announced.

The evening’s biggest winner was London’s Michael Van Clarke, which received prizes for Retail Salon of the Year and Manager of the Year alongside the Customer Care Award. Others triumphing in the awards included Tommy’s Hair Company in Ruthin, Denbighshire and Spirit Hair Company in Wallingford, Oxfordshire for Salon of the Year One and Salon of the Year Two respectively as well as Leicester’s Kyle Beasley Hairdressing for Independent Salon – Business Newcomer, Rainbow Room International for Front of House Team of the Year (pictured above) and Hooker and Young’s Jonathan Turner for Junior of the Year.

“The finalists this year were very impressive and it was important that the ambition and commitment behind each of them was recognised,” says HJ’s publishing director Jayne Lewis-Orr. “The judges had a difficult task but through our strict and confidential process, the right winners were recognised on the night.”

Creative Head toasts the industry’s finest hairdressing talent at Most Wanted and It List Grand Final Creative Head celebrated hairdressing’s most prominent stars inside the Natural History Museum last month at its glittering Most Wanted and It List Grand Final.

The awards have recognised the best of British hair talent since launching in 2001 and this year finalists battled it out for 17 categories ranging from Best Salon Team to The It Girl and Guy. Dedicated to rising stars, the names making this year’s It List included Sally Montague’s Angel Montague-Sayers, Trevor Sorbie’s Anna Chapman and Jonathan De Francesco from Brooks and Brooks.

Meanwhile, the biggest prizes of the evening came from the Most Wanted categories with the likes of Eugene Souleiman (Hair Icon), Sam McKnight (Session Stylist) and Errol Douglas (Creative Talent) taking individual trophies back to their salons.

The individual winners were also joined by triumphing teams such as London’s Percy and Reed and Barrie Stephen Hair in Leicester, which were crowned Best Salon Experience and Best Local Salon respectively.

SNEAK PEEK: Inside Bournemouth’s Hush Hair and Beauty salon A luxury salon has opened in Bournemouth’s town centre offering Wella, Sebastian and Moroccanoil hair services alongside Jessica manicures and Guinot beauty treatments. Hush Hair and Beauty boasts a luxurious boutique-style interior with plush furnishings, wooden flooring and gilt antique-style mirrors that offers clients a relaxing sanctuary in the heart of the town’s busy centre.

Twenty-five-year-old owner Fay Cole designed the space herself from the ground up. She comments: “I have worked in hair and beauty in Bournemouth throughout my career and have always looked forward to creating my own salon. Hush Hair and Beauty is an Aladdin’s cave of treatments all wrapped up in a boutique style environment that wouldn’t be out of place in Covent Garden. I consciously used furniture designed for the home rather than salons to give clients the sense that they are being welcomed into a fabulously stylish luxury abode.”

INDUSTRY UPDATE Freddie’s hair salon in Cheshire makes shortlist for My Best Local Independent Shop accolade Lancashire salon owner Freddie Cunliffe received a letter from the House of Commons last month after his business was nominated for Rossendale’s My Best Local Independent Shop competition. The awards, championed by local MP Jake Berry, celebrate the best businesses in the area and are offering a first place prize that includes free mentoring from the National Skills Academy for Retail.

Established in 1992, Freddie’s has been nominated six times in the British Hairdressing Awards and won the Schwarzkopf Professional Northern Creative Team accolade. Cunliffe commends: “It was an honour to receive the letter and an amazing surprise to be nominated for the awards. After being on Bank Street in Rossendale for 21 years, it is welcome recognition for the salon and what it brings to the community. I had no idea about the competition but would like to thank the anonymous person who nominated us.”

Clients have been supporting Freddie’s by filling in nomination forms in the salon or voting online via Mybestlocalshop.co.uk. The team will find out if it has gained the top spot later this month.

Myhairdressers.com announces MHD Student Style competition winner Masie West of Kent’s Keith Graham Academy was named the winner of a photographic Student Style Competition last month held by Myhairdressers.com.

Entrants uploaded their images to Facebook.com/MHDStudents before they were judged by a panel of experts which included Adam Reed, Stacey Broughton Steve Turner and Callam Warrington.

West’s retro-inspired image featuring “a classic ‘50s pin-up girl with a modern edge” wowed the judges leading her to winning first place. MHD global ambassador Steve Turner comments: “Her image is bang on trend; the colour looks good and the styling has a clean finish.”

HTC chooses Metropolis manager to create avant-garde hair for new technology launch Technology giant HTC enlisted Metropolis’ Ceri Cushen recently to create a avant-garde hair look for the launch of its latest camera phone technology. The hairdresser drew inspiration from a collection she created last year to create a “dark, gothic, haute couture” inspired look. Working with fashion photographer Miss Aniela, the model was shot by attendees – which included key fashion editors – against a detailed backdrop on HTC’s latest handset to showcase its ability to capture flawless images.

Cushen says: “I love working with Miss Aniela as her projects are some of the most creative I have seen. It was really a pleasure to be part of such an unusual event and incredible to hear how much everyone loved the model’s hair. Creating a Twitter buzz of top fashion press sharing an image of my creation felt very rewarding – I absolutely love getting involved in such projects outside the salon.”

The ultimate curl Introducing La Biosthetique’s special care line for wavy and curly hair

B

ouncy curls, playful ringlets or soft waves: anyone blessed with naturally curly locks are often the envy of those around them. However, curly heads know that wavy hair can quickly become dry and brittle and requires particularly intensive and complex care.

With this in mind, La Biosthetique has developed a care and styling range that focuses on the extraordinary needs of curly and wavy hair. Made up of four products, its new Curl line features a combination of highly developed ingredients that calms the structure of the hair, reduces frizz and bunches each strand into beautiful, shiny waves.

The main ingredient is the brand’s unique Bounce Back Polymer – a particularly durable resin that forms a smoothening, glossing film around the

hair and also gives it maximum elasticity.

The products also contain individual conditioning agents such as peptides, vitamins and UV protection to suit their respective function.

Tel: 01296 611 731 Biosthetique.co.uk

The product line-up

Curl Care Shampoo uses mild surfactants and sea salt to cleanse the hair without destroying its own protective and conditioning substances. Curl Activator leave-in curl booster spray activates the springiness of every single curl and provides a bundled, dynamic and expressive texture – without frizziness.

Curl Saver is perfect for refreshing curls in the morning or during the day. It restores original shape and disciplines frizzy sections to turn them back into finely defined waves.

Curl Defining Cream is suitable as a styling product for damp hair as well as finishing a curly style in freshly dried hair. It provides perfectly defined curls without frizziness that stay in shape all day long, even under difficult conditions.

HAIRDRESSING TOOLS

“ The tools I can’t live without”

Some of hairdressing’s biggest names reveal the must-have tools dominating their kit bags

Reamin hand cream is my invisible hand protector (Tel: 0161 980 4078 Reamin. co.uk). It never fails to amaze me how many times I see young hairdressers and trainees not using gloves or protection when they are at the backwash. We lose hundreds of promising stylists each year through issues with their hands.

I love the freedom and the protection Reamin provides.

ANNE VECK

I love my Diva Session Instant Heat Tong: it heats up in super-quick time and has a memory setting too (Tel: 0203 393 9072 Divapro.co.uk). I also love the fact that it doesn’t have a clasp, which gives you extra surface to work with.

OLLIE BLACKABY, HEADMASTERS

Tangle Teezer is one of the best brushes on the market (Tel: 0207 274 6128 Tangleteezer.com). Equally great for both professional and consumer use, it’s gentle on the hair and scalp making it easy to style someone else or use on yourself.

ERROL DOUGLAS MBE

The ghd styler (Tel: 08453 301 133 Ghdhair.com/professional) is my favourite in-salon tool as it does everything and is perfect for curling and polishing off each client’s end look.

ROBERT MASCIAVE

I can’t do without my Balmain Brush for hair extensions (Tel: 0800 781 0936 Balmainhair.com). It has multiple length soft bristles, which ensure there’s no snagging or catching. I love the wooden handle too.

HAIRDRESSING TOOLS

My Wahl Clippers are one of my favourite tools for men’s grooming (Tel: 0122 774 0555 Wahl. co.uk) – I’ve had them for years and just cleaning and oiling them regularly has made them last. Plus they’re so quiet!

OLLIE BLACKABY, HEADMASTERS

The Ceriotti Ultra Light 4200 (Alanhoward.co.uk) is so lightweight it’s a must-have in my tool-kit, particularly when working on shoots and events to set hair product or create volume.

MICHELLE GRIFFIN

My Denman brushes are an absolute must-have as they’re perfect for wrap drying and creating the perfect finish (Tel: 0800 262 509 Denmanbrush.com). I use the small one for a tighter finish and the larger to work universally.”

OLLIE BLACKABY, HEADMASTERS

The BaByliss PRO Perfect Curl is a revolutionary and mesmerising curling tool that’s a must-have for any hairdresser (Babylisspro.co.uk/ stockists). It magically creates curls in seconds on almost any length hair with ease. Using the various heat and timing settings you can achieve different curl effects – it’s so good you can even control the curl direction with a flick of a button. It’s definitely one of the millennium’s best innovations in styling.”

HAIR EXTENSIONS

Great expectations Everything you need to know now about offering a hair extensions service

O

nce dampened by a dark cloud of ethical and safety question marks, experts say the global hair extensions market is now growing at break-neck speed. Great Lengths, one of the biggest suppliers in the world, has reportedly experienced a 70 per cent business growth rate since 2008 while the Professional Beauty Association says the amount of salons offering the service in the US has risen by 28.5 per cent in the past two years.

“Extensions have become fundamental part of many people’s hair regimes rather than a taboo,” says Chris King, head of education for Great Lengths in the UK. “Ladies and gentlemen are now wearing extensions with pride.”

The boom is being put down to the consumer’s insatiable appetite for celebrity-inspired style. And the experts believe that salons who aren’t offering a hair extension fitting and styling service are almost certainly missing out on a vastly lucrative market.

“Most women crave long, voluminous hair which hair extensions provide in an instant,” says Yanike Palmer, product development executive for Sleek UK. “This year alone we’ve sold almost half a million packets of hair extensions. Some customers are spending over £250 on purchasing the highest quality hair alone and are then paying to have them professionally applied to guarantee a flawless finish.”

When you crunch the numbers, offering extensions in the salon is a no-brainer when it comes to boosting profits.

According to Seema Flower, founder of hair salon ColourNation which offers the service in London’s Oxford Circus, her clients pay an average of £800 for each full head – earning the salon around £460 in gross profit. Meanwhile, Ann Veck’s Oxford salon charges its clients separately for the hair they require alongside a 15 per cent admin cost and then from £68 per hour for application on top.

But the profit potential doesn’t end here

GREAT LENGTHS

either: “These clients will often return once weekly to have their hair professionally washed, blow-dried and styled,” says Palmer. “Then there’s periodical maintenance where bonds must be retightened and checked as they tend to loosen and shed after a few weeks.”

Add these to aftercare product sales and it’s clear that hair extension clients are used to paying big bucks for their dream hair.

Better, faster, stronger In addition to the modern world’s

obsession with star quality hair, innovations from product houses have made extensions cheaper and therefore more accessible to a wider pool of clients, which has also helped give their popularity a boost.

Both application methods and hair quality have improved significantly in recent years with developers hammering down the time it takes for a stylist to complete a full head while simultaneously increasing the time clients can wear them for. This means that salons don’t have to charge as much as they did before while

HAIR EXTENSIONS clients don’t have to visit the salon as often.

The micro-ring method has become a popular choice for hairdressers and clients alike, as the system means that a full head can often be applied in one hour while they’re also comfortable to wear and the same hair can even be re-used – making it even cheaper for cost conscious clients. But more recently we’ve seen the introduction of systems that take the micro-ring concept one step further – such as Foxy Hair Extensions’ NanoRing that boasts 90 per cent smaller rings (Tel: 0845 094 8403 Foxyhairextensions. net) and Hair Development’s Concealed Connections that combine the hair, the ring and a looped invisible wire in one extension (Tel: 0207 790 4567).

Heated systems are still a strong contender in the extensions market.

One of the biggest advantages with such methods is also speed, with some companies offering devices that make the application of multiple bonds all at once possible. “Over the past two or three years it is the speed of application that has improved more than anything else,” says Pete Statham, national sales manager, Balmain Hair. With this in mind, the brand’s Système Volume has become a popular choice for stylists as it allows five integrations to be applied in 40 seconds – offering the ability to carry out a full volumising treatment in 15-20 minutes and length in less than one hour.

Fast fashion hair But it isn’t just traditional systems that have seen major improvements: we’re also seeing the introduction of speedy semi-permanent methods that promise fast transformations that clients can change whenever they feel like it. These include Great Lengths’ new Fastrack tape system, which uses the same high quality hair as its original system but can be applied in minutes. The results last for up to four weeks and the hair can be kept by the client and re-applied when its required (Tel: 0113 278 1292 Greatlengthshair. co.uk).

Likewise, Great4Hair’s Perfect tape weft extensions also offer a fast and easy way to add temporary length and volume. During application, the natural hair is simply sandwiched between two tape wefts. A typical lengthening service can take 40 minutes while adding volume can be completed just half that timescale.

HAIR EXTENSIONS The system also comes with a special re-application tape, which allows the same hair to be re-applied up to four times (Tel: 0207 569 7170).

Clip-in extensions and wefts on invisible wires are also highly popular among clients looking for quick changes without commitment. “Customers have become much more hands-on when it comes to extensions, resulting in a massive spurge of DIY-type product introductions in the last few years,” says Palmer. “Fringes can be clipped on and off in an instant, wefts can be pre-glued to caps to create personalised wigs, and some human hair brands are specifically created for at-home colouring.”

But much more than a mere fashion statement, increasing numbers of women are seeing extensions as a solution to hair loss, breakage and thinning – and many of these products that are kinder to the natural hair offer a sound solution: “I think that women have to cope with hair loss problems a lot earlier now due to higher stress levels,” says award-winning extensions stylist and educator Michelle Griffin. “I think we’ll see a lot more systems becoming available to accommodate this and if salon owners are wise, they will move forward in this way.”

Masterminding your menu So with so many types of systems on offer, how can salons pick and choose what’s best for their business?

Statham recommends: “Salons should offer their clients a range of extension system types to ensure they have something to suit all – these include a temporary service, a semi-permanent option and a permanent one such as bonds.”

Delving into the selection process a bit deeper, King believes the client should always be king when it comes to quality and service: “While cost is paramount in most cases, salon owners must also consider hair quality, application methods, education and salon support from their supplier,” he says. “The real key to a profitable extensions business within the salon is happy customers.”

Meanwhile, Anita Francis, founder of AFI Hair Extensions, says salon owners should whittle down systems using their own brand values as a guide. “Start with your salon’s target market and determine what type of hair extension system would be suitable in the area,” she says. “This

GREAT LENGTHS

should also of course consider the price level your clients can afford. A range of clip-on wefts and a single strand method to get you started would be a good initial move forward but speak to your clients and ask them what their preferences are first.”

A word of warning Thanks to the consumer press, we’re all too familiar with the perils of a hair extensions service gone badly. With this in mind, it’s essential for salons to safeguard themselves against potential issues so their entire business isn’t jeopardised. As Ann Veck says: “While hair extensions are a very high earning service, they are potentially high risk in terms of customer complaints. Be sure you’ve done a very thorough consultation and don’t hesitate to turn the client away if she’s unsuitable for the service. It’s expensive so the client will have a very high expectation – it’s important to make sure they are realistic so that you under promise and over deliver.”

Griffin agrees that the consultation process is crucial to building a successful hair extensions division. She adds: “Having a good consultation with the client beforehand is imperative as you need to get a real feel for what they really want.

From a consultation you can find out why

your client wants extensions, how long they want them for and what their budget is. And it goes without saying that you should also offer good after care advice.

This lets the client know what they need to do to get the best out of their extensions and gives them the opportunity to come back to the salon every six weeks for maintenance.”

Moreover, Anita Francis stresses the importance of comprehensive training: “Quality training is essential as knowledge is everything. Unfortunately hair extensions have had bad press due to lack of training.

If used correctly, they can be amazing and life changing for some clients. However, if applied and removed incorrectly, they can lead to hair loss and very unhappy clients.

In my opinion a one-day training course is not enough to learn this amazing skill.”

But with all the pros and cons aside, it’s no good offering a hair extensions service if there isn’t the demand for one among your client base. “Hair extensions require a major investment in training a specialist equipment, which can run up to thousands of pounds,” says ColourNation’s Seema Flower. “It does add another string to your bow, but make sure you can reasonably see enough demand to help you recover that investment.”

COMPANY SPOTLIGHT

Cool runnings Online wholesaler CoolBlades prides itself on offering an unrivalled service

E

stablished in 2005 by husband and wife team Brian and Julie Bannister, wholesaler CoolBlades supplies a wide range of hair and beauty tools to salon owners and hairdressers. Its vast line includes over 7,000 products from scissors, clippers, brushes, combs and hot tools through to wet and colour ranges from L’Oreal, Wella, Schwarzkopf, Clynol, Indola and Osmo.

The company began as a scissors specialist after the former salon owners spotted a gap in the market for a “knowledgeable supplier that would help hairdressers look after their tools properly.”

The pair began going door-to-door with Julie talking stylists through the range and Brian providing a mobile sharpening and maintenance service.

Today their enterprise has grown from a two-person outfit to a flourishing business operating with a shop in Poulton, Lancashire, two warehouses and a team of 10 staff.

As well as its top scissor brands Jaguar, Joewell, Kasho, Passion and Tondeo, CoolBlades also supplies its own brand, Kobe. These are pitched at the affordable quality level and the company is set to re-launch the brand for AW13 with a new

Many of its products are exclusive to CoolBlades – including Tondeo and Kobe – and can be purchased all around the world from its user-friendly website Coolblades.co.uk. In addition, the company also offers tool servicing for customers that want to send in their scissors, clippers and dryers for sharpening and maintenance. It also provides in-salon servicing and PAT testing for a wide range of equipment.

“We believe that our maintenance knowledge combined with our many years’ experience separates us from our competitors and lets us help our customers choose the right items and keep them working properly,” says Julie Bannister.

“For example, if you buy a Jaguar scissor from us and subsequently need it serviced or sharpened, we can do that for you and get it back to you within a few days. Whereas other wholesalers that offer that service are sending the scissors to the factory in Germany to be serviced – which can take weeks.”

At present the company is improving its furniture range and will soon be offering the new REM line as well as a large range

of reconditioned quality furniture for more budget-conscious salon owners that will be based out of a new showroom in Poulton. In addition, there are exciting plans for new product lines in the revamped Kobe brand. Next year will see it developed heavily with a big push on market awareness.

So if you’d like to purchase some of the industry’s biggest brands from a company with decades of experience, visit CoolBlade’s website for the very best in global hairdressing tools and products.

EDUCATION

Training with a difference Why Saks Education has become the go-to provider for salon owners looking for outstanding hair and beauty apprenticeship training

S

aks Apprenticeships is one of the country’s top training providers. Having been awarded Beacon Status from the Government, it is now hailed as an industry leader. But what really sets its team of educators apart from the rest is a combination of technical training alongside teaching learners how to really connect with their clients. And what’s more, its educators are always keen to make sure that every apprentice and salon can work together effectively.

It doesn’t cost anything to enlist Saks as your salon’s training provider and its team can help you get funding support of up to £1,500 per apprentice. Moreover, with all of

its training carried out inside your salon, there’s no need for apprentices to be out

on day release as its educators come to you in the workplace.

Apprenticeships offer salon owners and learners a fantastic opportunity. Not only can they obtain internationally recognised qualifications, but all learners also receive real-life hands-on experience right from the start.

Likewise, it can also be extremely rewarding for salon owners who can nurture and help develop the learners’ skills to shape them into an invaluable asset for their business.

BUSINESS

Social gathering The social networking phenomenon began in salons and it’s time the industry reclaimed it back, says Book ‘n’ Bloom’s Gerard Hoff

I

magine a world without the internet.

That was the reality as recently ago as 1990. Before that the internet hardly existed – and it definitely wasn’t for the ordinary man on the street. These days it’s hard to imagine where we would be without it and it’s probably better if we don’t try. Because without the internet, the world would stop. Literally. There would be no communication, no power, no television, nothing.

Although some might say that it would be very peaceful and quiet, the reality is that the human race would find it very hard to survive.

The internet changed our lives in many ways – it made the world smaller, more accessible and it made the phenomenon of social media possible.

To cite an example of how quickly this developed, consider this: it took radio 38 years to reach 50million people and it took television 13 years. It only took the internet four years to reach that number and the iPod managed it in three.

Facebook, meanwhile, reached over 200million people in just one year. And today it has racked up over one billion users. This number would make it the third largest country on the planet after China and India and bigger than the USA. Facebook and all the other social media channels changed the way the world

52 | www.thesalonmagazine.co.uk

does business. Not only did classical advertising lose its power, but it also forced businesses in general to smarten up their acts. Companies that don’t behave how their customers want them to are no longer able to hide. This is called the power of word-of-mouth.

This power is being further enhanced by the fast growing mobile internet and

the increasing use of smart phones.

Consumers today have the entire world in their pocket. This even changes our behaviour: when we don’t get what we want at the tip of our finger, we can become distressed.

But should we be afraid of this new world of ever-changing technology? No, of course not. Social Media is the oldest

thing in the world. In fact, even before mankind could talk with words, we had social media. We used sticks to hit on hollow trees when there was danger or when we found something nice to eat and called for a celebration. So, when it is the oldest thing in the world, why are so many people talking about it and why are we describing it as the ‘new big thing’?

It is because of the size of it, the ease to use by the masses and – of course – the impact it has on how we do business. Now everyone wants a piece of it and many are trying, but are they doing it the right way?

Social media originally belonged to salons. Inside these social establishments the really interesting conversations took place. The news, the gossip, the tips – being in a salon was an inspiring place. Now these conversations have moved to Facebook, Google Plus and Twitter.

So can salons regain this position?

Of course they can. They must move into social media to reclaim what is rightfully theirs and extend the salon beyond the physical walls. But this move has to be based on added value – otherwise it’s just a nice attempt that will turn out to be a failure.

Added value is hidden in convenience, information, great deals and content.

Anyone can use Social Media to boost business SOCIAL MEDIA belonged to the salons. Here the good conversations took place but then these conversations moved to Facebook. Book’n’Bloom gives them back.

Book’n’Bloom is THE online 24/7 booking tool that is completely integrated in Facebook.

It offers the opportunity to tap into the power of Social Media, while making the managing and controlling of online booking easier and more accessible than ever before.

And the best thing is: We provide content as well.

Just Bloom with www.booknbloom.com

BUSINESS Using these four pillars is the basis for success: Convenience: People today have less time and more things to do (and reading social media is one of those things). Time is valuable, so when salons can offer a quick and easy way to make an appointment using online booking at anytime and anyplace, that is a great way to add value. This is especially true when the facility has a reminder function and is integrated in a favourite medium such as Facebook. The next phase is going mobile either via a website or an app. That way customers will really be able to book anytime and anywhere they please.

Information: In order to book online, it is important that clients know what’s on the menu. It is like the proverb: seeing is buying. So offering the full list, the

54 | www.thesalonmagazine.co.uk

specialities and the promotions is an essential part of being on social media.

It makes your page an extension of the salon.

Great deals: Everyone likes a good deal, that’s how humans operate, especially when the economical recession is hitting all of us. So when a voucher or special price is offered, it makes the service seem even more appealing. And when people can also get a reduction or extra treatment (loyalty system) when they recommend it to their friends, it is really inspiring to pass it on.

Content: When it comes to anything online, content is the keyword. If it is boring, people will only come once and never return. So providing content that is entertaining, inspiring or informative is the key to success.

Social media is really an evolution of what started in salons. So make the most of it and reclaim what is rightfully yours.

Gerard Hoff is a brand and social media strategist for online booking specialist Book ‘n’ Bloom.

ABOUT BOOK ‘N’ BLOOM Book’n’Bloom is an online booking tool powered by social media that includes a loyalty system, a deal creator and content.

Everlasting love Discover the benefits of original everlasting manicure brand Bio Sculpture Gel

B

io Sculpture Gel is the original everlasting manicure brand.

Created in 1988, it is the longest standing soak-off colour gel on the market and is tried, tested and trusted by techs and clients alike.

Created on the foundations of healthy nail care, its maker claims its gel nourishes and protects the natural nail. Instead of using dehydrating primers or bonders, Vitamin Dose and Executive Base are used in preparation for gel application in order to nurture the nails. “By maintaining the health of the natural nail, clients will find that their gel nails last longer and will in turn keep returning to the salon,” says UK MD Rene Lipsitz.

In October 2012, the brand unveiled its specially developed LED UV lamp giving its techs an alternative method of curing

alongside its original version. LED curing technology means that Bio Sculpture Gel can now be cured in 30 seconds, allowing a full set of overlays to be completed in 30 minutes flat.

Bio Sculpture Gel boasts a range of over 150 colours, with a new seasonal collection launched twice each year.

Matching nail polishes are also available for most of its gel colours. Most recently the brand launched its Smoke and Mirrors Collection for AW13 featuring six rich and opulent colours.

But the company is most proud of its range of treatment gels, which includes seven different options for base and finishing layers. Techs are trained to assess the condition of their clients’ nails and lifestyle in order to establish the best treatment that matches their own individual needs.

Bio Sculpture Gel Starter Kits and Training Courses are available for beginners and experienced nail technicians. Each kit includes everything salon professionals need to start offering Bio Sculpture Gel treatments including training, assessment and products.

Moreover, it will also delve into the structure and breakdown of the dermis to include a deeper investigation into the

function of collagen and elastin.

The course will also look into popular ingredients used by the cosmetics industry and how these play a role within good skincare. The day will then conclude after highlighting tools therapists can use to confidently recommend and sell their product lines.

AZ to

for boosting your profits this winter

From lucrative add-on treatments to promotional strategies to instigate now, follow this power list and watch your takings rapidly increase this winter Irresistible add-on treatments

In the chair Target clients in the hair chair with relevant extras to increase spend: “we noticed that guys booking in for a cut often asked for facial grooming advice, but were reluctant to book in with our therapists,” says Axiom Bodyworks’ Andy Rouillard. “So we decided to bring the service onto the floor and trained our barbers to use peelable wax – now we have added facial and neck waxing to our list of in-chair services. The response has been phenomenal – it takes less than two minutes at the end of a cut and adds an extra £5-£10 to the stylists’ wage packet.”

If you want to increase your takings without chasing new clients, offering your regular customers fast and effective addon services is the best way to bump up their total spend and your profits to boot.

SCRUMMI

Meet demand Backwash boosters Every client that leaves the backwash without investing in a treatment is a missed opportunity.

Aim to increase every hair client’s total bill by offering tempting backwash services such as Montibel.lo’s Treat Color Reflect Bain Shampoo, which hydrates, increases shine and prolongs their hair colour for longer (RRP £9.90; Tel: 01264 334 466 Montibello.com).

If your clients are asking for a particular service that you don’t yet offer, you’re missing out. If you’ve been considering the benefits of offering long-lasting manicures and pedicures using soak-off gel products, Bio Sculpture offers comprehensive training and support for all nail professionals whether they’re beginners or experienced technicians.

Its starter kits come with accredited training, assessment and certification along with everything needed to set-up a nail division. The company is also offering The Salon Magazine readers £50 off its Professional Starter Kit and a £25 discount on its Precise Starter Kit if they place an order this month (Tel: 0845 331 2347 Biosculpture.co.uk).

Express hair colour services Get inspired by Lisa Shepherd’s express colour bar concept, which opens up the service to all clients whatever their budget.

The new salon area offers six low-cost colour appointments in less than one hour (from £15) and clients can even blow-dry their own hair to save cash in its designated blast-dry area.

XEN-TAN

Fake Tan Fridays (and other promotions) When Saks launched its Fake Tan Fridays incentive offering £15 spray tans in conjunction with Xen-Tan, appointments and aftercare product sales went through the roof. So follow the chain’s lead and introduce your own seductive promotion to get those clients through the door.

58 | www.thesalonmagazine.co.uk

Introduce gift cards Gift cards can be a great way to boost revenue. And with advancements in technology, it’s now possible to link them to your business software to make managing their usage a breeze. Shortcuts says introducing its cards could generate up to 100 per cent more revenue this Christmas (Shortcuts.co.uk).

BUSINESS WESTROW

Create product hotspots When it comes to retailing, it doesn’t always pay to keep products in their place.

Sometimes, just positioning specially selected seasonal essentials at your client’s eye level throughout the salon is all you need to do to raise awareness and boost sales. “We create hotspots displaying products in key client areas to catch our customers’ eyes in a subtle way,” says salon owner Paul Falltrick. “As we have a large salon floor, we also have a few strategically placed retail areas to encourage even more sales.”

Jazz up your merchandising Ensure that every client knows about your promotions for the next few months by maximising awareness through visual merchandising and marketing. “In the run up to Christmas, salons can really maximise their retail profits,” says Elemis’ director of international marketing Oriele Frank. “Elemis offers its salons the most effective marketing launch packages for merchandising including gift vouchers, roller banners, show cards, pricing stickers and beautifully designed wish list gift guides.”

Late night shopping The run-up to Christmas is teeming with moneymaking opportunities. So don’t miss out on your town’s late night shopping footfall by shutting up shop early - reassess your opening times now and make sure someone is there to cater for any potential client’s new seasonal shopping habits. The same goes for Sundays too.

Kick-start their New Year fitness regime Weight-loss treatments are becoming more sought-after and also tie in with the New Year healthy living mantra.

Help clients shed any extra pounds they might put on during the festive season with salon-friendly fat-freezing treatment Lipoglaze, which uses a hitech machine that’s available for around £8 per day on lease (Lovelite.co.uk).

Offer ‘pretox’ services We’ve all heard of January detox services. But what if your menu included ‘pretox’ treatments that helped prepare your clients’ skin and hair for the season of indulgence? Rich and hydrating treatments make ideal promotions for this purpose and encouraging clients to book courses with special package rates is a great way to keep your team busy well into the New Year.

Radiance masks No client is going to say no to looking radiant. And with Carlton Beauty and Spa’s Timeless Truth Luxury range, adding a skin-boosting anti-ageing mask to every skincare service can generate a high profit with little outlay (from £3.60 + VAT each; Tel: 01903 761 100).

Invest in results After investing in LPG’s M6 Keymodule and Cellu M6 Endermolab machines that offer anti-ageing and skin tightening results, home-based salon owner Michelle Oorloff saw such uplift in income that she was able to open her own establishment – Mrs Oorloff – in Witney, Oxford, in June 2013. “LPG is without doubt my main source of income, and it is thanks to the revenue from the treatments I offer that I was able to open up my own clinic,” she says. Tel: 0800 085 0533

Try something new Boosting profits isn’t always about promoting what you already have: it’s often about introducing something new and exciting for clients. Weight loss programmes lend themselves to beauty salons as professional treatments – and with Christmas, New Year and summer holiday season to capitalise on, their great for year-round promotions. Beautytrix is now offering Juice Plus – a range of nutritional supplements containing vitamins from 26 fruit and vegetables. The range promises help clients shed pounds and keep the weight off - in a healthy way.

Tel: 01261 833 106

Pamper your clients Who can resist a bit of pampering, especially in the dreary winter months? Milk_Shake’s professional-only hair treatment range can be mixed together to create a tailored experience for every client.

Meanwhile its natural-based products can even be combined with seasonal fruit (such as cranberries at Christmas) to create a unique menu of superindulgent hair services. Trade prices start from £14.50 while salons can charge from £10 per treatment (Tel: 01392 365 177 Milkshakehaircare. co.uk).

BUSINESS Focus on retail “Recommending products to your clients for preparation and aftercare is of course very important throughout the year, but especially important in busy times when your appointment book is full,” says Beautytrix’s Britta Kruegar. “Retail items don’t only boost your profits but also ensure that clients are using the appropriate products to prepare and maintain their treatment for a longer lasting effect. And if you can ensure happy clients, you will have loyal customers who also refer you to their friends – this is what builds most businesses.”

Stick to a strategy

Quick-fix beauty treatments Speedy on-the-go beauty treatments that are affordable yet offer immediate results are ideal for boosting profit margins.

Aveda launches its Beauty On Demand concept this month featuring a range of 15-minute quick-fix treatments. Signature services include The Glow Facial, which helps renew the skin’s surface using the brand’s botanical-based skincare. Prices start from £15 for 15 minutes and the treatment can be offered as an add-on or standalone service (Tel: 0870 034 2380 Aveda.co.uk).

From Christmas gift ideas to warming hair and beauty treatments, winter is full of profit-boosting hooks to encourage extra client spend – so make the most of the season by masterminding a promotions and marketing strategy now. “Always discuss any promotion with your product supplier first,” says salon owner Paul Falltrick. “We always aim to speak to our Matrix representative well in advance of Christmas, for example, to make sure we receive our gift sets and products in good time.”

“Invite your loyal clients to an intimate event giving them an exclusive preview of your latest products,” says Dermalogica UK’s Daniella Garner. “Pop open the bubbly, arrange some beautiful cupcakes and create a relaxed, inviting atmosphere to show your appreciation for these special clients.”

Transform your clients’ hair in ten minutes flat with Brazilian Blowout’s new professional Split End Repairing Treatment.

Simply apply the solution onto the client’s freshly washed and dried hair and then seal it in with hot irons for super-smooth results that can last up to four weeks (Tel: 0845 862 5110 E: info@ ganeshagroup.co.uk).

Offer every client an upgrade “Upgrading clients is a great way to boost your salon’s revenue during the long winter season,” says Kirsty Jewson, national beauty manager at Saks. “To do this effectively requires a great consultation in the first instance so your prescriptive approach is genuine and really does benefit your client as well as the business. We always encourage our staff to think outside the box and remember to utilise their Saks’ toolboxes. So for example, if a client is concerned with ageing, we don’t just think about the appropriate anti-ageing facial: we assess if attention to their eyebrows, make-up and hands could make the client feel and look younger. This means revenues are up and – most importantly – a happy, returning client!”

Xmas cards with January incentives

Give them the VIP treatment

Back in ten

Don’t just send your clients Christmas cards – include a special offer that will entice them back into the salon in the New Year. “For the slower months of January, ‘bounce back’ cards, given out during the busy months of November and December are an essential marketing tool,” says Frank.

These can include special booking offers or gift with purchases specific to January to drive footfall at a quieter time of year.”

Word-of-mouth Utilise the best form of salon marketing by encouraging clients to review your service online, update their Twitter or Facebook statuses or recommend your service to their friends.

Say ‘yes’ Listen to what your clients want through questionnaires and reap the rewards of acting on their feedback.

Zero discounting All the industry’s best business experts agree: discounting is like sounding the death knell for a successful salon business. Instead, add value to your treatments by offering zero cost complimentary incentives such as head or hand massages throughout quiet periods.

Your bottom line (and your clients) will really thank you for it.

The melting pot Put a date in your diary for next month’s inaugural The Wax Show UK

I

t’s certainly fair to say that the life of a waxer is never dull. But neither is it a line of work you can always discuss openly at the dinner table. But what if there was somewhere you could talk about the latest vajazzle tactics without risking funny looks: a day of education, networking and inspiration focusing on

techniques and tips to build a profitable hair removal business?

The Wax Show UK is a new, joint venture by salon owners and dedicated waxers Andy Rouillard (Axiom Bodyworks) and Mat O’Marah (Waxing For Guys).

It stemmed, as so many of the best ideas do, from a late night conversation: “Wouldn’t it be great if there was someplace where all the waxers could get together and tell stories and try new products and share tips with each other?

Like the Ideal Home Show, but with more hair…”

The final piece of the puzzle came earlier this year when Rouillard was invited to speak at The SoCal Wax Show in California. Technicians from across the States gathered in one place to share and learn from some of the industry’s leading names in hair removal.

Back in Blighty, plans for a UK version suddenly seemed much more viable and a few tentative Facebook feelers confirmed that they weren’t the only ones who thought the idea might just work.

Out came the little black book and with the phone on speed-dial both of them were pleasantly surprised that pretty much everyone they asked was keen to be involved.

So they have a date: 10th November 2013. They have a venue: Reading’s Pentahotel. And they also have some of the country’s finest educators booked to head demonstrations covering everything from brows to Brazilians plus lots of practical business advice to keep clients coming back for more. They even have a party organised for the night before…

Now they just need to sell some tickets.

One step to perfection Enjoy all the benefits of gel-polish and traditional nail lacquer in one handy product with NCO London’s geleSSe system

“T

he new geleSSe range

by NCO London is the most unique gel-polish product on the market,” says brand owner and nail expert Gina Brooke-Wavell.

According to the founder, not only is it one of the only gel polishes available on the globe where technicians don’t have to buff the natural nail first, but it also soaks off with acetone-free nail polish remover too – making it one of the least damaging systems available today.

Moreover, when used as a gel-polish its results will last up to four

weeks instead of the usual two or three.

Alternatively, it can be used with a regular base coat and topcoat for clients that want a more express service, which will

offer flawless results that last up to two weeks. “There are many benefits to this method, including a super-speed clean-off removal,” says Brooke-Wavell.

Moreover, with high coverage colours that can be used to create dramatic nail art effects, there’s no wonder that the company has seen “record numbers of new customers” buying into the line every single week.

Salon-sized 15ml bottles cost £15 + VAT while discounted start-up kits and try me sets are available from Ncolondon. com.

Happy endings Brazilan Blowout’s new professional 10-minute hair treatment promises to spell the end for split ends

N

ewly launched by US brand Brazilian Blowout, the professional Split End Repairing Treatment is the world’s first in-salon service that instantly strengthens, repairs, seals and protects the hair’s ends. And best of all, the treatment only takes 10 minutes to carry out in the salon chair while the results can last up to four weeks.

The new wonder treatment offers clients a plethora of benefits from reconstructed and repaired hair to lasting heat protection and sealed split ends. Meanwhile, taking the service on also spells many advantages for salons including low set-up costs and high profits.

The Brazilian Blowout professional Split End Repairing Treatment is carried

out in a similar way to the brand’s original keratin-based smoothing treatment. After washing the hair, the stylists uses an applicator brush to lightly dust the Split End Repairing Solution onto the bottom of the client’s locks. The hair is then blowdried as smooth as possible using a round boar bristle brush before the product is sealed into the hair using a straightening tool. Following the flat ironing process, the treatment is complete and the client is free to leave the salon and, if they choose, get their hair wet or tie it into a ponytail.

One bottle of solution costs £50 and offers enough product to treat up to 50 heads – generating revenue of at least £1,000.

Mind your own beeswax How Reamin hand protection cream is waging a war against dermatitis

D

ermatitis is every hairdresser’s worst enemy. The condition, which is an inflammation of the skin caused by chemicals and water, can become incurable if left untreated and leave the sufferer unable to work in the salon ever again.

Reamin hand protection cream has been specifically developed to help prevent the onset of dermatitis. Regular usage helps to strengthen and reinforce the natural protective functions of the skin while it also forms a protective layer, which will remain in tact even during wet works.

The product’s most important ingredient is beeswax. This natural wonder has been used for thousands of years and effectively softens the skin while creating a long-lasting protective coating. It is also a natural moisturiser while its antiinflammatory and antibacterial properties

62 | www.thesalonmagazine.co.uk

make it beneficial for wound healing.

Therefore, Reamin not only protects but also helps fight early sings of dermatitis.

Additionally, the beeswax in Reamin helps to re-establish the skin’s natural fats, which – if you think of the skin like a brick wall – form the important mortar that holds everything together. The moisture is kept within the skin and the protective shield stops harmful substances from penetrating, similar to the effect you find with some famous English waxed jackets where the wax makes the rain simply roll off.

For more information on Reamin and to learn more about its capabilities, visit the company’s stand at this month’s Salon International (stand D282), log on to Reamin.co.uk, ‘like’ on Facebook. com/reaminuk and follow on Twitter.com/ reaminuk

Famous faces How Nouveau Beauty’s A-Lift machine has become the weapon of choice for celebrity facialists

B

ritish company the Nouveau Beauty Group has enlisted celebrity facialist Elizabeth Caroline as independent skin care expert and UK Ambassador for its A-Lift machine. As well as transforming the skin of famous faces, the new recruit is the owner of London’s Aquavie Spa, which was recently voted one of the UK’s top 10 most inspiring salons by Professional Beauty magazine.

After completing the initial training to become an A-Lift technician, Caroline met with the Nouveau Beauty Group’s director Karen Betts and has been a key stakeholder with the development of the brand ever since. The celebrity facialist will act as a spokesperson for the treatment while remaining independent

to the Nouveau Beauty Group. The new role, created especially for her, will see her acting as the UK ambassador at trade exhibitions such as Professional Beauty North, (13-14 October, Manchester), where the expert has been asked to guest speak and advise other salon owners about the commercial benefits of taking on the machine.

“I would recommend the A-Lift to any business wishing to offer facials on their treatment menu,” she says. “In this day and age, it is evident that the consumer is constantly looking for new ways to slow down the ageing process. My clients absolutely love the treatment and the results speak for themselves. Many of my VIPs repeatedly request this facial prior to red carpet events because it

provides them with illuminated, lifted and more youthful skin. It is one of the best investments I have ever made – without a doubt.”

The A-Lift machine costs £3,995 + VAT and comes complete with an intensive two-day training course, marketing materials and continued brand support.

Finance is also available.

Hot oil

Give clients the gift of healthy hair with Absolute Aromas’ Hairspa range

T

he Absolute Aromas Hairspa range is a luxurious line of oils that have been specially blended for head massages and home treatments. The range comprises four blends: Indulge, Soothe, Overactive and Fragile. Each contains essential oils selected to add their own specific nutritional elements to the hair and scalp so salons can provide soothing and restorative head treatments.

The Indulge blend is a moisturising and conditioning treatment for sunscorched or chemically treated hair that would benefit from the luxury and pure indulgence of a hot oil treatment. Soothe, meanwhile, is a weekly treatment that replenishes dry, irritated hair and scalps.

The product contains soothing cedarwood and chamomile alongside lavender, which helps repair the scalp and hair.

Alternatively, the Overactive blend acts

as an astringent for oily hair and scalps. When used over a period of time with mild shampoos, this blend will re-educate the body’s sebaceous glands to produce less oil. Lemon, bergamot and lemongrass provide deep cleaning benefits and aid detoxification while geranium and cedarwood help balance oil production.

Lastly, the Fragile blend works on fine hair by improving its overall condition resulting in increased shine and lustre. It can also improve the hair’s condition when temporary loss occurs following illness or stress.

So whatever your clients’ hair needs this winter, the Hairspa range

by Absolute Aromas offers something for all hair types and concerns.
