pprentices are the lifeblood of every successful salon.

Without them, hair and beauty businesses wouldn’t be able to operate. But with the right team in place, they are the key to a salon’s success.

Unfortunately, however, great apprentices can be difficult to find – especially when so many salon owners don’t know where to look.

Without the right support, it can seem impossible to select the right candidate and retain their loyalty so they become a fully qualified member of the team. That’s why this month we’ve been looking into the options available to today’s salon owners to help them uncover the best trainees. In these uncertain times, increasing numbers of people are finding themselves unemployed. But with funding starting to become more readily available by the government, it’s becoming easier for salon owners to take on trainees that they can nurture and mould to become the future stylists and therapists of tomorrow.

Turn to our feature on page 46 to discover how partnering with the right training provider really can make all the difference.

Elsewhere in this month’s issue we’ve been gearing up for the first major beauty exhibition of the autumn season: Olympia Beauty. Now in its seventh year, it has gained a place among the major players as many salon owner’s first port of call for the new season.

This year organisers will open its doors on 23-24 September with more brands, free seminars and inspiring competitions than ever before. In our feature, starting on page 36, we

reveal why you shouldn’t miss it.

Speaking of the new season, this month we’ve also been thinking about updating your service menu in time for the cooler weather.

Starting on page 28, we uncover 10 of the best professional skincare and body care treatments on the market that are sure to turn a few clients’ heads when they’re after some winter pampering or real results. From resultsdriven facials to warming pedicures, thinking outside of the box will always create the most unique and inspiring menu.

We’re also pleased to report that professional hair and beauty products sales have continued to rise in Europe this year, despite the gloomy economic outlook across the retail sector and entire globe. With this in mind, we’ve been considering ways for salon owners to boost their own sales figures with the help of some of the industry’s leading retail experts. So from offering staff clever incentives to educating them on why selling home care plays a fundamental essential role in customer service, we reveal how to give your takings on proper boost, starting on page 34.

As we hurtle towards the final quarter of 2012, it’s time to make every minute count.

INDUSTRY UpDaTe

Hairdressing’s greatest living legends set to unite on stage at October’s Alternative Hair Show

T

ony Rizzo and Anthony Mascolo are gearing up for the best Alternative Hair Show yet as they approach its 30year anniversary with newly acquired charitable status.

The 2012 show will be held inside London’s Royal Albert Hall on Sunday 14 October – 30 years after the first event took place in Camden to raise money for leukaemia research.

With the underpinning theme ‘Legends’, this year’s show will be in honour of worldwide patron Vidal Sassoon who died from the disease himself last May. Organisers have invited 30 of the industry’s greatest living legends to take

part in a presentation to showcase their own talent while paying homage to the globally renowned hairdresser. Never seen together on stage, they will unite for what promises to be an unmissable event.

Another major part of this year’s show will be the crowning of the Visionary Award, which celebrates the new generation of talent and serves as a platform for the stars of tomorrow. Now an international competition, this year’s semi-finals will be held at the World Championships in Milan while the winner will be announced at the UK Alternative Hair Show.

Also continuing this year is the AIPP Awards winners’ presentation, which was

held for the first time during the 2011 Alternative Hair Show, recognising image creation in print and digital media.

The Alternative Hair Show was founded in 1983 after Sanrizz founder Tony Rizzo and his wife lost their son to leukaemia.

To keep his memory alive and to raise money for other children 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 in countries including the US, Austria, Korea, Italy and Russia. To date it has raised over £8.5 million in support of leukaemia and lymphoma research.

INDUSTRY UPDATE BHP Hairdressing group merges to create super salon

MAC

Leeds salon group BHP Hairdressing has merged its two branches to create one super salon. Its team of 25 staff are now based in one premises – making it the largest salon in the area.

Owners Claire Benson and Christian Hefti started the business 12 years ago with a small outlet in the city’s Guiseley area. As its client base grew, they opened a second salon in White Cross two years later but always envisaged running the business under one roof.

The complete salon team is now based in the bigger newly refurbished White Cross salon, which boasts 11 cutting stations, a resident beauty therapist and extended opening hours – meaning it will be able to service over 1,000 clients each month.

Hefti comments: “We’ve built our reputation on having highly trained staff, most of which are home-grown. We believe in rigorous training and really put our people through their paces. Our business depends on having the best stylists cutting hair – we can’t afford to be complacent. Uniting all the team under one roof will definitely initiate a stimulating Salonbookingapp.com has and creative environment, one with fresh ideas launched a new mobile and Facebook and new concepts.

European professional skincare market grows for second consecutive year Further cementing its position as a growing sector, Europe’s professional skin care market has seen a four per cent increase in sales since 2011, according to a new report from market analyst Kline and Company. The new figures bring sales close to the sector’s prerecession peak as consumers return to salons and spas for professional services. Meanwhile, retail sales through professional venues have grown by 3.7 per cent and salons now represent a 60 per cent share of the marketplace.

The report reveals that salons are stimulating increased sales by investing in modern facilities and communication tools. These include social networking and tablet devices that allow therapists to complete questionnaires or recommend products without interrupting the treatment. Moreover, an increase in the number of outlets selling such products has also led to a boost in revenue for the sector. This includes an increase in franchised networks and chains with Guinot and Clarins leading the way.

Team building

If you’re constantly thinking of ways to motivate your team, London salon owner Michael Van Clarke has invested in a personal training facility for all his staff at the exclusive Harley Street Educuogym.

The programme includes a 20-minute exercise session linked with a bespoke nutritional plan, which has reportedly already led to an increase in morale.

Best laid plans Sign up to Salon Plan for loyal clients guaranteed

L

aunching at next month’s Salon International, Salon Plan is a revolutionary membership scheme that helps salon owners combat the problem of lost clients.

Founded by Susannah Patrick who has a background in working for salon software firms and partner Julian Cabrera, the concept was derived from real problems faced by business owners.

As director of CSM, Patrick found that one of the biggest issues salons face is customer attrition – around 50 and 70 per cent of clients fail to come back to the same salon.

A large part of CSM’s activities involved producing lapsed client mailings. However, she could see this was only a short-term solution to an industry-wide problem, which appeared to be getting worse with

the launch of cut-price voucher offers.

Even if a salon was providing excellent service, many were still finding it hard to maintain a solid, regular client base without slashing prices.

Patrick saw that there was a need to give clients a reason to stay with a salon long term and – after a lot of research – created Salon Plan.

What is Salon Plan?

As a Salon Plan member, a client commits to a 12-month membership with their preferred salon and pays a monthly instalment by direct debit to cover their hair or beauty costs. Plans start from £15 a month and are entirely personalised for that client. All plans are created on the bespoke web pages created for each individual business.

In return for their loyalty, the client earns a regular discount and a choice of gifts.

The greater the payments, the greater the rewards and discount. So there is every incentive for a client to sign up for high instalments.

For businesses joining Salon Plan, fees are extremely low, working out at around one cut and finish or facial a month.

The cost covers all set up and training plus a package of materials to get the programme off to a flying start.

Would your customers like to budget for their hair and beauty?

Would you like to sell 12 months of

The beauty of apprenticeships Taking on work-based learners offers a wealth of benefits. And with job seeker figures peaking in the UK, support and funding earmarked for employers is making it even easier to get hair and beauty apprentices on board

O

n-the-job-training is fast becoming a more viable option for youngsters keen to get into the world of work.

With a choice of 1,200 job roles and improved access to government funding, today’s pool of potential learners is rapidly expanding.

The amount of people embarking on apprenticeship programmes in 2010/11 skyrocketed by 63 per cent on the year before to half a million learners.

And this year, the projected figure is even

46 | www.thesalonmagazine.co.uk

bigger still.

While university used to be seen as an essential stepping stone to a well-paid career, the average £40,000 millstone of debt that this year’s freshers will graduate with in three years’ time is pushing many young people to review other options.

And with almost a third of today’s recent graduates in jobs that don’t require higher qualifications than GCSEs and a further one in 10 on dole – who can blame them?

What the cultural shift has done, however, is level the playing field for

employers. Now the brightest stars that were once seduced by a creative degree are having their heads turned by the prospect of a career in hairdressing or beauty. And that puts employers in a pole position to select first-rate candidates that can be moulded into their ideal team members of the future.

Learning culture Salon owners are no strangers to apprenticeships. As skilled practical vocations, work-based training has always been the most sought-after route for would-be hairdressers, therapists and nail techs.

However, with more funding becoming available, many business owners are still unaware of the help on offer to employers. And the message from training providers is to strike while the iron is hot to make the most of such benefits.

“Apprenticeships are placed very highly on the government agenda and there is an active focus to promote these to individuals and companies,” says Rochelle Saneria, head of education at the London College of Beauty Therapy. “Not only will the employer gain a new member of staff at a lower salary rate, they will also benefit from someone who will be trained and mentored to meet their salon’s

48 | www.thesalonmagazine.co.uk

requirements.”

Indeed according to recent national statistics from a survey commissioned

by Skills Solutions, 80 per cent of salon owners aren’t aware of the £1,500 wage incentive now available for each apprentice or that many programmes are completely government-funded. Often all salon owners have to pay for each learner is the minimum wage – and for those under 19, this is as little as £2.65 an hour.

Money has also been earmarked for apprenticeships for unemployed people

of any age. Those claiming job seekers allowance are now eligible for fully funded training in a range of qualifications to help them secure a job without losing their benefits. “This is great for those who missed out on a career in hairdressing or left many years ago but still feel passionate about the industry and want to return,” says Andy Heseltine, CEO at Yorkshire hair academy Dimensions Training Solutions. “Our learners today will become tomorrows’ technicians, supervisors, salon managers and top stylists and it is

EDUCATION excellent news that funding changes are making training even more accessible.”

Diverse learning Many salon owners are also unaware of the sheer volume of apprenticeships available in a variety of areas – not just in hairdressing but also retail, customer service and business administration. The London College of Beauty Therapy (LBCT) has expanded its range of courses this year and – alongside various NVQs – it offers a varied apprenticeship programme.

Core courses include Nails Services, Beauty Therapy, Retail, Beauty Retail, Team Leading and Customer Service, but the college is always expanding its offer to meet the needs of salons and apprentices.

Typically, apprentices work full-time in the salon but also spend several hours each week at the academy or college.

Saks Education, however, which offers some of the best complete hair and beauty apprenticeship programmes in the country, prides itself on offering all training on-site. “We differ from other providers in offering true work-based learning,” says the company’s senior training co-ordinator Mandy Durkin. “All our training, assessments and underpinning knowledge are carried out in the salon giving employers real control over what is taught.”

Many academies also offer employers support and guidance throughout the apprenticeship and beyond. Saks Education works with salon owners to help them with employment laws, health and safety protocols and contractual obligations. The company also offers free CPD events and activities for employers and salon trainers. Moreover, it has a fully

So whether you’re looking for a new scheme for your current staff or want to take on new learners, there’s never been a better time to reap the benefits of apprenticeships.

Giving you extra Merchant Cash Express’s Vince Sheppard explains how a new finance option for small businesses is offering salons a worry-free financial solution

“T

he Business Cash Advance product is all about getting funds to smaller businesses – businesses that struggle to get enough finance through traditional sources. This is the market that we want to support and is the reason why Merchant Cash Express was founded. Put simply, we offer a straightforward alternative to a bank loan.

“Entrepreneurs and lifestyle businesses need cash to meet the demands of new trends and to satisfy ever-changing customer appetites. Successful salon owners don’t stand still, they continuously diversify and adapt. Sadly a lot of small businesses in the UK struggle to get the cash they need. This is especially true when there is no security available. And

52 | www.thesalonmagazine.co.uk

let’s face it, the majority of these sole traders, partnerships and companies are operating out of short leasehold premises and need money to spend on factors such as staff training, advertising and marketing.

And these are all reasons that simply do not tick the approved ‘security box’ for traditional high street lenders.

“The hair and beauty industry moves faster than many other sectors. To stay ahead of the competition you need to anticipate the latest technology and trends while demonstrating quality and choice.

Moreover, you need to be innovative to encourage people into the salon.

“MCE has helped our salon retail customers by funding: • Stock purchases that offer the best margin

• Refurbishing premises to attract new customers • The development of an e-commerce offering, widening your customer base • Expanding current retail offerings and product lines • Promotional events • Technology to market and up-sell to existing customers • Customer loyalty schemes • Staff training

How our money works “So how does our financing work? Well, the Business Cash Advance is given against future credit and debit card sales, and there’s no security required. MCE has provided capital to hundreds of salon owners, who have used it to revamp their

Three steps to cash

The Benefits

Step one: Call the Business Cash Advance team Tel: 0845 082 6087 or apply online at Businesscashadvance. co.uk for a no-obligation quote.

Step two: After you’ve applied, The Business Cash Advance team will guide you through the process. They will need to see 12 months of your card statements to verify your application.

Then you can confirm how much cash you would like and the agreement will be sent for you to sign.

Step three: You sign the agreement and the money will be paid directly into your bank account – it’s as simple as that.

You don’t have to fill out endless forms, provide a business plan or jump through the various hoops the bank manager presents to you. You can apply online, and MCE can give you a no-obligation quote within 24 hours.

The main criterion for qualifying for a Business Cash Advance is that you turn over at least £3,500 on cards per month – and you can qualify for modest sums of money that banks normally wouldn’t be interested in giving you.

interiors, expand their current product lines and develop new menus for customers.

“Just as your clients have the freedom to choose the right hair and beauty looks to shape and define their style, the Business Cash Advance can give you a better choice of finance options that suit your business.

“We don’t hard sell or act as a lender of last resort. You decide how much you need and what percentage of your daily credit card sales you can afford to pay. One of our advisors will devise a bespoke Business Cash Advance that suits your circumstances. We do the rest. You do not have to have justify your plans. We trust that you know more about running your business. And because there’s no security, you don’t have to worry about monthly repayment bills or late fees or any kind of hidden charges. Within days the money is in your account so you can take advantage of opportunities for your salon as they arise without delay.

Simple application process

It’s quick You have to act fast in a trend-driven industry like hair and beauty. You can lose out on deals or the opportunity to meet increased client demand if you lack the ability to respond quickly. The Business Cash Advance can provide a speedy injection of capital at businesscritical moments: once approved, the money can be in your account within hours.

It follows your cash cycle Bank loans have fixed payments that you have to pay each month. With the Business Cash Advance, you pay back to MCE an agreed percentage of the sales on your debit and credit cards. This

can vary from month-to-month. When you earn more, you pay back more; when the business earns less, you pay back less. The repayments go with the flow of your business.

As your business grows, because of the investment you’ve made in it, so do the repayments – and some salons manage to pay off the advance in a matter of months.

You stay in control Unlike other investors who may want to take a slice of your business in return for injecting capital, the Business Cash Advance doesn’t require you to give away equity. You don’t need to offer security, and you don’t need to sacrifice any of your business. You stay in control every step of the way.

The majority of salons come back for more Once salon owners have tried out a Business Cash Advance and have seen how it has helped build their business, the majority will borrow more money to finance their next investment. In fact, over 70 per cent of businesses renew their advance with MCE – helping to keep their business flexible creative, dynamic and ahead of the curve.

The costing breakdown “When you’ve received your Business Cash Advance, the repayments are simple. If you took £100 worth of transactions on the day you received the loan and you’d agreed to pay back 20 per cent, you would get £80 while MCE would get £20. That would continue until you’d repaid the whole amount, plus the fee.

That’s it – no late payment charges, no legal fees and no catches.”

BUSINESS TIPS

The art of retailing Home care product sales can be the easiest way to turnover a tidy profit. Gemma Ward uncovers some expert tips for making retail a pivotal part of your team’s customer service

P

roduct sales are often a bugbear for salon owners.

Most appreciate the business possibilities: a successful retail enterprise can equate to more than another team member’s takings. So why then, especially in the midst of one of the hardest economic times in history, are the majority still failing to maximise the clear potential of the area?

The age-old excuse is that stylists and therapists aren’t sales people. Many feel uncomfortable giving clients the ‘hardsell’ and don’t want to push home care at any point during the service. “What many salon staff don’t realise is that retailing is a pivotal part of great customer service,” says Carole Taylor, director of retail training provider ClientWave.

“The two things go hand-in-hand: you cannot deliver exceptional service without giving great, tailor-made advice to the client along with the associated product recommendations.”

ClientWave specialises in teaching salon teams how to boost their retail takings. Its market research into the area shows the biggest customer service sin committed by stylists and therapists – according to

WESTROW

clients themselves – is using a product during an appointment without following it up with a specific recommendation for homecare.

Britta Krueger, founder of Beautytrix, believes that changing this opinion among salon staff is key to increasing sales.

“Retail items are designed to work in harmony with the treatment and will help in preparing, extending and maintaining

the effect for longer,” she says. “It should be made clear to all stylists and therapists that this means clients can enjoy the treatment for longer – and a happy customer is ultimately a loyal customer.”

Educating retail Taylor believes that many team members simply don’t sell enough because of fear.

“They can be scared of being pushy, lack product knowledge or simply not know how to retail successfully – for example what to say, when to say it and how to say it.”

The directors at salon group Westrow believe that education is key. Retail is a huge part of the business and training staff in selling home care is an integral part of its ongoing strategy. “A key part of the service experience within our client journey is the retail process and we constantly reinforce the message that stylists need to engage with the client on the products they are using throughout their service,” says co-founder Steve Rowbottom. “We educate our staff on listening to the clients and letting them talk, and while they are carrying out the service to offer product suggestions for now and the future.

care and styling advice is also encouraged to make each client aware of other salon services and promotions that may be available.”

Clever incentives Encouraging your team in the correct way to sell more products is essential if you’d like to boost retail sales figures. But rather than piling pressure onto staff, the experts agree that it’s often more effective to show them why doing so is beneficial both to them and the business as a whole. “Telling a team member to retail more will never grow results,” says 365 Hair’s Ken West.

“Helping them understand how retailing can increase client loyalty and grow their column, therefore giving them the opportunity to increase their earnings, is the way to improve results. True motivation comes from within and motivation stems from knowledge of what can be achieved and the ensuing benefits.”

Taylor suggests putting retail at the top of the daily agenda with regular buzz meetings to identify sales opportunities.

“Set clear goals and objectives for retail and implement effective performance management,” she says. “Ensure product knowledge is constantly updated and staff move away from only talking about the products they like and focus on talking about the products that are right for the client.”

58 | www.thesalonmagazine.co.uk

At Westrow, each salon has its own dedicated retail expert who attends product courses every six weeks and filters any news through to the rest of the team. “This helps them truly understand how retail works so they can gain a clear picture of the mechanics of marketing, merchandising, POS, incentives and stock control,” says Rowbottom. “Our retail experts also have extensive product knowledge that ensures they can respond to every client’s need and every Friday, during staff meetings, they educate others on techniques and launches so the entire team is always one step ahead.”

Incentive schemes are also highly popular among the most successful salons and can be a great way to boost morale. Westrow, like many other salons around the country, recognises its best retail sellers with awards and rewards, such as industry trips overseas and holidays. “We run retail incentives every month – sometimes weekly – across the business as a whole,” says Rowbottom.

“We don’t hide facts and figures and keep everything out in the open: tailor-made turnover sheets and individual progress reports are placed within each staff room every Monday morning, while every month we detail the top 10 retailers across the company. Everyone knows where they stand, what’s achievable and what the benefits are.”

Offering a plethora of hair products and accessories, the standalone area at the front of the salon is a shop in its own right and entices passers by into the salon, allowing staff to offer complimentary consultations to draw in new clients. “As well as bringing in extra revenue to the salon business, our retail offering completes the professional service for our clients,” says Montague. “Our aim has been to offer a one-stop-shop for our discerning clientele: we offer premium hairdressing services and bespoke product consultation, which creates a complete client journey.”

So if you’re looking for ways to boost your revenue while keeping costs down, don’t dismiss the potential of a success retail division. With careful planning and management, it can pay dividends both for the business and the entire team.

MANAGER PRO

Charity begins at Holmes

Stuart Holmes reveals why he’s taken corporate social responsibility to heart

“W

hen I first started out in this industry, my day job was predominantly cutting hair. However, over the years and as our business has developed and grown, my main role today is strategic business management. Being a business that is profitable but also acts responsibly is very important to my wife Sara and I. And as a result, this is one of our core mission statements.

We want to be successful but we also want to do our bit for the wider community.

“Our corporate social responsibility agenda incorporates lots of different elements including everything from our environmental and recycling policy to the way we interact with charities.

“Like many salons, we regularly get approached to support not-for-profit organisations.

Providing raffle prizes and styling hair at charity fashion shows are the most common requests.

We’d love to be able to support everyone but our mission statement does say that we want to be profitable too.

“Any request is looked at and appraised in terms of the return of investment. Getting involved with charity events does provide great brand exposure. And we always make sure that we capitalise on any activity we implement. If we’re working at a charity fashion show we’ll take our branded banners with us.

We will also ensure our logos are used in event programmes and where possible, in conjunction with L’Oreal, we will provide samples for goody bags or discount vouchers to be used in the salon.

“While we support other people’s charity

60 | www.thesalonmagazine.co.uk

events, we also run our own in the salon too. These are mainly for our official charity for the year. In the past we’ve supported Linc – an organisation for leukaemia patients, which has our client Jacqui Llewelyn-Bowen as its patron.

“We’ve also recently just announced a new Stuart Holmes official charity partner: The Little Princess Trust. We’ve had many

proactive requests from organisations wishing to be our annual charity partner but with this charity, we approached them.

Based near Hereford, it was established by a family who lost their five-year-old daughter, Hannah Tarplee, to cancer.

“Throughout her brave battle and after she died in 2006 so many kind people offered help - both financial and practical.

Her parents, Wendy and Simon, decided that the most fitting way to use their support was to launch a charity dedicated to providing specialist children’s wigs. Like so many Little Princesses, Hannah loved her hair and losing it was very traumatic.

Her parents struggled to find a wig that would fit or even be suitable for a child.

“We are supporting The Little Princess Trust after it was brought to our attention by one of team members. Our 15-year-old Saturday assistant, Olivia, was touched after watching a documentary about child cancer patients. She wanted to arrange an event to support a charity such as The Little Princess Trust and came up with the concept of hosting it in the salon to encourage people to donate their hair for use in children’s wigs.

“After months of planning, we are very proud to be hosting a hair harvest style event in October. Heavily advertised through the regional press, we are opening up the salon for one day to the public to come in and donate their hair for free.

There are detailed guidelines on who can donate but in essence anyone who would like to get involved must be prepared to give at least seven inches of hair. We will cut the hair and then give the client a complimentary cut to style their remaining locks.

“We’re really looking forward to this event and putting our skills as hairstylists to good use to benefit an amazing charity.”

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.

EDUCATION

Desirable development Saks Education has taken employer engagement to a whole new level with the introduction of its free employer-focused CPD events

N

ow not only offering outstanding training to its apprentices, Saks Education is also giving employers the chance to develop and update their own creative skills to equip them for training the hairdressers of tomorrow. These new employer-focused CPD events highlight how important it is for salon owners to engage with their apprentices as well as showing how this can enhance the apprentices’ learning experience. The sessions also aim to inspire and motivate delegates so they can go back to the salon and inspire their teams.

The subjects set to be covered include hairdressing, safeguarding and employment rights alongside employer responsibilities.

During the most recent employer professional development evening held

62 | www.thesalonmagazine.co.uk

at Saks Education’s Darlington academy, employers not only experienced watching the Art Team demonstrate their latest creative cutting, colouring and dressing techniques from the new Modification collection, but also had the opportunity to engage in information sharing and networking.

Twenty apprentice employers along with senior team members from their salons left the event feeling inspired and ready to pass the knowledge gained on to their team. Nicola Battista, director from Guidos Hair in Middlesbrough, says: “It was a very inspiring event” while Ruth Wilson from Rouge Hair Design in Hartlepool adds: “It was fantastic and we learnt so much” With more similar events in the pipeline, Saks Education is urging to salon owners to take advantage of its growing range of business opportunities.
