THE KNOW-HOW THE INSIDE TRACK ON THE HOTTEST SALON IDEAS
How creative are you? Star colourist Casey Coleman wants to know! CASEY COLEMAN, salon director at Ocean Hairdressing in Cardiff, is encouraging colourists to share their creative looks on social media using the hashtag #colorintensity. The best of the bunch will make it on to the Joico Wall of Color online gallery at joico-colorintensity.com. Recently appointed to the Joico European Colour Design Team, Casey is always pushing the boundaries within the creative world and is delighted to support the #colorintensity social media campaign. The Joico Color Intensity Mermaid Collection is the perfect range to create intense colour looks. “I love using the new Joico Color Intensity Mermaid Collection as the range offers such a dazzling spectrum of bold, vibrant colours and the concentrated pigments are perfect for creating over-thetop vibrancy that lasts through 15 shampoos,” he explained. “It is an easy way to channel your inner artist, because Color Intensity’s semi-permanent formulas can be applied straight from the tube, or mixed for endless possibilities, enabling your clients to always be up-to-date with the latest fashion trends.”

CREATIVE HEAD LAUNCHES FUTUREPROOF CAMPAIGN CONFUSED ABOUT THE latest round of National Minimum Wage changes? Want to ensure your apprentices are a sound investment? Creative HEAD’s Futureproof campaign kicks off this month as we seek to help salons unravel the reams of red tape threatening to strangle them, covering everything from admin challenges and National Minimum and National Living Wages to chair renters and tax. The campaign will culminate in a themed session at Salon Smart 2017. Hilary Hall, chief executive of the NHF, said: “Having a feel for what’s around the corner can only help salons and barbershops prepare for the future. Helping salons adapt to change is a key part of what we do, so that’s why we’re supporting Creative HEAD’s Futureproof campaign.”
We’re heading to Italy to do the hair for a client’s wedding. It’s then on to the Color Zoom Summer Party, before we welcome Natalie Cara Jones, Goldwell Global Color Zoom 2015 winner, to the Nicola Smyth Leamington Spa team. We fell for the clever Perfect Curl when it launched three years ago and now Her Majesty is a fan, too! Conair Group, the firm behind BaByliss PRO, has won The Queen’s Award, the UK’s highest accolade for business innovation, for its Auto Curl system.
