Long live blonde She’s bold, she’s brilliant – and she’s a big deal

When it comes to colour, Ms Blonde is your BFF; according to a Mintel study, 40 per cent of all women opting for a new shade choose blonde. But while you may bestow her with the fairest of tones, could she be doing more to take care of her colour between salon appointments?

Forever Blonde from Paul Mitchell fights to preserve, protect and bring out the best in her hues between visits. The four-strong care line, including the sulphate-free Forever Blonde Shampoo, serves every shade in the spectrum and contains an exclusive KerActive protein that smoothes and repairs, replenishes lost moisture, provides intense shine and even banishes brassiness. The result?

Supercharged blonde that looks cleaner, glows brighter, and lives longer.

For more information about Forever Blonde, call 0845 659 0011 or visit www.salon-success.co.uk

Want better blonde, faster?

Try Paul Mitchell Blonde SynchroLift!

Containing balanced bleach technology, it gently but quickly lifts by up to seven levels.

It mixes to a creamysoft consistency and is fragrance-free, too.

EDITOR’S LETTER

January CREATIVE HEAD

65

IF YOU’RE EXPECTING ME to proclaim “New Year, new you!” while sipping a detox smoothie, then forget it.

Yes, it’s tempting to see the start of 2013 as a chance to transform everything about your business, but I would urge you instead to take some time and think differently about the way you are working and which areas of the salon potentially to invest in. Want to know where to start? Well, that’s where we come in. For inspiration at the highest level, it made sense for us to let you hear from the stylists and salon owners who are at the top of their game, so we got each and every one of our Most Wanted and It List 2012 winners to share their money-can’t-buy business advice and creative inspiration. What I love most about the hair industry is the willingness to share ideas and to help each other to achieve new successes, so a huge thank you to everyone who revealed their knowledge for our feature. Obviously, a bit of competition is healthy, but this year, with the recession still biting, we need to support each other, develop effective ideas and move forward together. Go forth and make 2013 a year to be proud of!

Happy New Year,

Lauren

January 2013

HAIRDRESSERS ARE SOME OF UK’S ‘HAPPIEST WORKERS’ than those in office jobs, with finance workers and accountants proving to be the least happy in their work; just 19 per cent surveyed enjoyed their careers. Nick Bradley, group director at City & Guilds, said: “It’s interesting to see that those who have taken the vocational route are happiest; there’s certainly something to be said from learning specific skills and working your way up.”

Sue Roberts, founder of Coaching Business People, added: “Meaning and purpose in a job is a key happiness generator. Hairdressing is a visual JAN

environment; you can literally see the difference you are making to people’s lives and this makes staff happy.” The survey found that 71 per cent of hairdressers felt they have control over their workload, and 70 per cent believed they have a good work/life balance.

Roberts concluded: “The biggest stress factor in the workplace is lack of control. Choosing the right level of responsibility and duties is extremely satisfying.”

Marketing guru Angela Kokshoorn was the star of the show at the sixth Hair and Beauty Benevolent (HABB) networking event. Held at London’s Goldwell Academy, Kokshoorn was interviewed by former HABB president and managing director of Richard Ward Hair & Metrospa, Hellen Ward, and talked the audience through her career, which started by launching L’Oréal Cosmetics into the New Zealand market, and leading to her current role as vice-president commercial for Collection Cosmetics (formerly Collection 2000).

She described how turning the Batiste dry shampoo brand around from a bottom-shelf product to a cool festival must-have as her biggest accomplishment to date. The evening also included a raffle, and the whole event raised £965 for the HABB charity.

Fudge and Rankin team up for video series Fudge has collaborated with photographer and filmmaker Rankin to create a series of videos for the relaunch of the hair brand’s website. Shot in one day and released in real time, the three videos marked the official launch of the new Fudge.com website and look-book. Each video features a group of street-cast men and women, alongside celebrities including radio DJ and presenter Gemma Cairney, DJ Princess Julia and artist and author Molly Parkin. The aim of the video was to capture quick shots that showcase hair that looks beautiful, feels fashion-forward and creates a connection with the audience.

TASKFORCE

Business Pro Dylan Bradshaw Owner, Dylan Bradshaw Salon and Academy, Dublin I start my working day... rounding up my kids for breakfast before heading off to work. Once I arrive at the salon and academy, I catch up with one of the four receptionists who gives me an update, and then I meet my first clients of the day. My column is normally really busy, so we have a team meeting at the end, rather than the start of the day.

I cope with pressure by... going to the gym. To be honest, as you get older, the pressure gets easier.

I was ready to go into business... when I was 27, although I was always ready to start my own business – I was just waiting for the finances to catch up. When I opened my salon in Dublin, I looked at what was on offer and thought I could do better, so I decided to go for it.

The biggest risk I have taken... I don’t look at anything as a risk. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose, but when you believe in what you do it’s all for a reason and a bigger end-goal.

I never take for granted... the team I have around me and the clients that come through the door.

The biggest challenge in business today... is keeping the team motivated and excited, and creating a good energy – it’s not just about money.

Window to the world

A good window display can mean the difference between a walk-by and a walk-in, so make sure your salon gets noticed In a poll carried out by telecoms company O2, more than half of retailers reported that generating consumer awareness is one of their biggest challenges, highlighting the difficulties smaller businesses, like many salons, face in getting consumers through the door. On the flip side, 27 per cent of customers will visit an independent store just for the personal service, and 31 per cent for the unique experience these places offer. Retail expert Clare Raynor, explains: “This puts salons in a really strong position – they’ve got a service that can’t be offered online.” The challenge salons face is how to utilise this strength, starting with getting customers through the front door in the first place.

“If salons want to get noticed, they need to consider the whole of their shop front – signage, banners, images and lighting are all important, as is the upkeep of the building. People will form a judgement about your business in a couple of seconds as they walk past,” says Clare. The easiest and quickest way to increase your footfall is by creating a visually exciting window display. “Your windows work for you

Salon owner and celebrity stylist Andrew Barton’s top tips to window heaven

24/7, so they need to be looking good all the time,” says Joico salon consultant, Michael Lane. To achieve this, a salon window display should be well lit, have a theme or colour scheme, feature a select range of retail items and be changed every six to eight weeks. But you can get it wrong. Items not to display in a window include: an excess of products, as this can overwhelm the passerby, sofas, fish tanks and pot plants (unless they are part of a theme). Andrew Barton Salons creates a yearly planner for its window displays, communicating different stories in the window, depending on the time of year and to ensure themes aren’t repeated.

“We know from our client surveys that many have visited us for the first time because the salon’s window display attracted them,” says owner Andrew Barton. The planner also allows the team to build the investment into the cashflow and budget accordingly. “The most important aspect is to keep it exciting.

Prospective clients can see if your salon is looking tired; good businesses never look tired,” says Andrew.

• Remember, a clean window says a lot about a salon, but a salon that makes some creative noise from its window says so much more • ‘Gorgeous’ is our wow word – as long as the window looks gorgeous, the brand is working well and is attracting the clients we aim to attract • Seasonal messages can be used to influence a scheme, but can date quickly so integrate them into a more general theme • The display, like your salon furniture, music and dress code, should all be on-brand and reflect your message

THINK IN NUMBERS

WHEN WILL I SEE YOU AGAIN? Business expert Ken West illustrates just how incredible a devotee can be for your salon

DURING LAST SUMMER’S fabulous sporting events a wonderful spirit was generated in our country as people became fans and followers of athletes and sports, raving about what they had seen and sharing their passion with friends.

Raving fans is what your salon needs – those who will tell others about you, a tribe that will be yours and will remain yours. Loyalty is the key to a profitable and sustainable business. There are many ways to increase loyalty but here, I am going to ask you to look at one key number in your business – frequency of visit, or how many times on average a client visits you a year. In our minds we would love to think that they visit every six weeks, but reality tells us that this number is closer to 12 weeks. If a client comes in every 12 weeks, then they visit you 4.3 times a year. If they spend on average £50, then the annual value of that client is £215. Now, if you could get them to come every 10 weeks, you would see them 5.2 times a year and they would spend £260 – that’s £45 extra per client per year. If your salon currently services 200 clients a week and they each visit 4.3 times a year, then to stay busy you currently need 2,418 clients on your database. If those 2,418 clients each spent an extra £45 per year, then your turnover would increase by an amazing £108,810 a year. You may argue that’s just clever

200 CLIENTS PER WEEK

number-crunching, and I agree it is.

But suppose you could increase the visits of 50 per cent of your clients, or even 25 per cent. Do the maths yourself.

But here’s the secret – we are forgetting to even ask them to come back. Research tells us that most clients want to rebook while they are in the salon, but most salon staff don’t ask. Or they don’t ask in a meaningful way, often using phrases like: “Would you like to book now or give us a call later?” or “Shall I book you in or do you want to think about it?”

How about this instead: “As part of our service and to ensure that your hair always looks amazing, I have made your next appointment for you on… and we look forward to seeing you then. Please let us know if you need to change your reservation.” That’s what most dentists do and if they didn’t, how long do you think the average time between patient visits would be? It’s simple – you just need a process and a script for your team.

Because if you don’t get this right, what will clients think? Let me share a thought from a friend of mine to illustrate the impression they’re left with: “If they don’t ask me to rebook, then I assume they don’t want me to go back”. And then she decided to take her money elsewhere.

NEWS JANUARY In association with

apprentices must be fit for work, review finds The NHF has welcomed the publication of the Richard Review into apprenticeships, arguing its findings echo what the industry has been saying for years – that apprentices need to be people fit for work, not just qualified on paper.

The independent review recognised the need for employers to be at the heart of defining what apprenticeships should be for, what skills young people should gain as a result, and how such training should be delivered – which the NHF is now working to achieve through the creation of its own apprenticeship manifesto. This manifesto is due to be finalised soon and is expected to recommend the development of Federationapproved qualifications that better meet the needs of salon owners, with more emphasis on salon-based training and the creation of an employer-led ‘expert reference group’ to review and evaluate the quality of apprenticeship training within the industry. Eileen Lawson, outgoing secretary general of the NHF, said it is imperative that the government works closely with employers to bring apprenticeship schemes in line with the recommendations.

Cavalier text marketing ‘could cost salons dear’ Salons are being warned about sending out unsolicited marketing text messages to clients, as the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) is cracking down on firms that send out automated messages to people who have asked to opt out. One of the remits of the ICO is to protect the data privacy of individuals, and especially to prevent unwanted sales calls or spam. It can fine firms up to £500,000 for “serious breaches” of electronic marketing regulations, notably those within the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, which stipulate that individuals should not receive unsolicited texts or automated marketing calls unless they have given permission. Andrew Jones, director of Hairdressingapps.com, a designer of specialist mobile phone apps for hairdressers, said salons risked harming their reputation and a huge fine if they resorted to spamming text messages to their clients. He said: “It is easy to see why it’s tempting but it is a huge gamble to take for your business.”

NHF Britain’s Best stylists revealed The NHF’s Britain’s Best competition has proven to be a roaring success, with more than 300 people descending on the Hilton Birmingham Metropole hotel to watch the action unfold. Key winners were Steve Clewlow of The Coach House in Wolverhampton, who was named Senior Men’s Hairdresser of the Year, and Emma Saxon of Stephen Coles Hair Design in Lytham St Anne’s, who won Senior Women’s Hairdresser of the Year. Tayla Murdy of The Venue in Ashington (pictured above), was Junior Ladies Hairdresser of the Year, while Newcomer of the Year was Trixie White of Paul Watts Hairdressing in Kettering. Mark Coray, president of the NHF, hailed

the success of the competition’s use of text-based voting and its mobile phone-based Click ‘n’ Send Head of the Year Photographic Competition, both of which proved hugely popular formats, especially with younger entrants. He said: “For Britain’s Best to have been such a success in its first year is just amazing and shows the genuine wealth of hairdressing talent we have in this country. I am really excited the NHF is now leading the way in using social media and new technology to engage with and bring on gifted young hairdressers and stylists.”

A full list of category winners and images from the day can be found online at www.nhf.info

Salons urged to get tough NHF secretary general takes and charge ‘no-shows’ Salons are being encouraged to take a much harder line with “no-show” clients who cancel at the last minute, even to the extent of charging for all or part of the cost of the appointment. The fact hairdressing has a reputation for being people-centred, informal and friendly has meant many salon owners have traditionally shied away from invoking cancellation policies for fear of offending loyal clients and losing customers. But some are now calling for a national push to put hairdressing on a par with private medical and legal professions and top restaurants, where ‘no-show’ sanctions are common. Julia Gaudio, owner of Elajé Hair & Beauty in Cambridge, said: “Booking an appointment is, in effect, making a contract with a business and, as an industry, we need to accept this and adopt a cancellation policy.”

early retirement The NHF has begun a high-level recruitment process following the decision by secretary general Eileen Lawson to take early retirement after five successful years with the NHF. An announcement on the appointment of her replacement is expected to be made in the spring.

History of kindness

Paul Mitchell products are cruelty-free – always have been, always will be. Now you can support the hair brand’s global efforts by making some local differences in your salon…

When Paul Mitchell launched in 1980, its aim was to create truly professional products while sticking to its core principle of being a cruelty-free brand.

Fast-forward 30 years and the luxury haircare name produces more than 100 products – from awardwinning care and styling products to cutting-edge tools and professional hair colour – available in more than 80 countries and all free from animal testing.

As more and more clients become concerned with the environment, a product’s provenance and animal testing, Paul Mitchell knows it’s more important than ever to shine the spotlight on the importance of being cruelty-free – and get salons to sign up to the message.

“Consumers are more interested than ever in products that are cruelty-free,” explains Zoë Vears, director of publicity for Salon Success, the distributor of Paul Mitchell in the UK. “We are revisiting our roots to share our belief of no animal testing. We have seen a huge increase in social media activity and calls into the office from consumers asking if our products are cruelty-free.

This is a hot topic that both consumers and salons are interested in, and research indicates the support of cruelty-free products will only increase.”

The future is cruelty-free “Paul Mitchell is focusing on a thought-provoking media campaign,” explains Zoë. “From the bunny at the point-of-purchase to the ethical bunny bonus bags, we are providing the tools to give clients the confidence in knowing they are using cruelty-free products.”

Spring 2013 will see Paul Mitchell partner up with Cruelty Free International, the global organisation dedicated to ending animal testing for personal care and other consumer products worldwide. The organisation also manages the no animal testing certification – products carrying the ‘Leaping Bunny’ logo comply with the most rigorous cruelty-free standards. Paul Mitchell was one of the first brands to be awarded Leaping Bunny recognition and is proud to be the only professional haircare brand to receive it.

Promotion

Making a difference Last year, Paul Mitchell chief executive and co-founder John Paul DeJoria, pledged Paul Mitchell would not be sold in China until its government changed animal testing laws.

It was a bold move that saw the brand awarded the Peta ‘Courage in Commerce’ award for sticking to its principles.

When discussing the reasons behind the pledge, John Paul said: “We do not conduct or condone animal testing on our products, and we will not attempt to market our products in China until alternatives to animal testing methods have been accepted by government.”

Spring isn’t far away so now is the perfect time to start treating clients to a little guilt-free luxury with Paul Mitchell’s limited-edition bunny bonus bags. Available for all six Paul Mitchell systems – Color Care, Extra Body, Moisture, Smoothing, Strength and Kids – 5 per cent of the recommended retail price of each bag will be donated to Cruelty Free International. So why not start the New Year as you mean to go on and join the cruelty-free campaign now!

The numbers back the cause* 70% of people agree or strongly agree that buying from a company that gives something back is far more satisfying

69% of adults like buying products from companies who give something back to society

50% of adults like buying products from companies that have a strong corporate social responsibility programme in place

47% of adults believe individual efforts to limit our own impact on the environment are worthwhile

25% of adults only buy products from a company whose ethics they agree with

Sassoon Academy interprets Decibel

Transported into a brave new world of 2013 trends, flash mob parties and rubbing shoulders with some of the finest session stylists – Oribe, Josh Wood and Eugene Souleiman, to name just a few, the Wella Professionals International TrendVision Awards 2012 (ITVA) was a Spanish fiesta in Madrid. The purpose of the getaway was two-fold – the competition itself and an introduction to 2013’s new trends inspired by music, entitled The Sound of Colour.

For Wella Professionals global ambassadors Josh and Eugene, it was the fifth year of trend-setting together, and the results were sublime. “When I’m doing shows and I hear music, I become way more instinctive about what I do,” said Eugene.

“I get a stronger feeling for a character.” For 2013, there are four new characters: Fusion, an East meets West girl; Decibel, a woman in between the sartorial throes of glam rock and punk; Echo, the melancholy musical type; and Allegra, the diva of the line-up, who has it all and still wants more.

“Everybody hears and interprets music or sound in different ways – it triggers a unique response,” says Josh. And later we experienced first-hand just how music affects different individuals, as four international art teams each took a trend to showcase in four mammoth shows for ITVA’s 1,200strong audience. Dmitry Vinokurov took on Fusion, Sassoon Academy worked with Decibel, Alexis Ferrer interpreted Echo, and Cyrill Brune recreated Allegra. And then it was time for the awards, see opposite to find out more…

greatest

Wella Professionals spread some serious hair action across the three floors of Madrid’s 10,000-seater basketball arena for the prestigious International TrendVision Awards 2012 (ITVA). Eighty-six competitors from 50 countries competed for four awards – Young Talent and Color Category, and People’s Choice Young Talent and Color Category awards. Judging the proceedings was a team of top talent, including Oribe, Josh Wood, Eugene Souleiman and Marta Michel, deputy editor of Spanish Elle. Daniel Couch from HOB Salons and Ben Kristian from Nottingham’s Zullo & Holland represented the UK and last year’s Young Talent winner, HOB Salons’ Jake Unger, led the Parade of Nations that started the evening. But there wasn’t to be another UK victory, as Young Talent was won by Zhangjian Wang of China, and the Color Category by Philip Ferreira of Canada. The People’s Choice Award, voted for by members of the audience and online viewers, chose Tatsiana Krupskay of Belarus for Young Talent and Lucian Busuioc from Romania for Color.

With the awards out of the way, we went into the basement for one of the year’s most memorable parties. There were flash mob hair sessions, DJ sets, live bands and interactive music pods where you could mix your own beats and get lost in a silent disco. Next year ITVA returns to Germany – we can’t wait!

Held at the Starlight Convention Centre Thalasso and Spa in Antalya, Turkey, the sun-drenched resort was the perfect backdrop to what was a truly inspiring and entertaining three-day programme. Kicking off the event were our very own Gary Hooker and Michael Young and US stylist Ammon Carver, with their Monochrome show, encompassing everything from silent movies to Charlie’s Angels. The Trend Converge day also saw Gary Hooker present a cutting seminar, revealing how to give fine hair more texture through a simple cut, while Michael Young demonstrated what a difference colour can make in his colour and styling section. And on the final day, a Be Blonde show by Tiana Dockswell and Shannon King was the first act, before Hooker & Young closed the event with a stunning Opera finale.

Taking place at Old Billingsgate, Lingerie London is one of 15 top couture and luxury lingerie shows globally, which aim to use the strength of the lingerie industry to empower women around the world. Going a long way to boosting women’s confidence on the night was Fudge, who got an epic cast of 100 models, dancers and acrobats catwalkready, including Abbey Crouch, Sarah Harding, Peaches Geldof and Zara Martin. Leading the hair cast of 35 was Fudge global session stylist Snowden Hill, who created five different looks for the Agent Provocateur and Atsuko Kudo shows. First up, luxury latex label Atsuko Kudo showcased a collection entitled ‘Restricted Love’, inspired by Wong KarWai’s film In The Mood For Love, for which Snowden created ’60s-inspired beehives. Meanwhile, couture lingerie designer Agent Provocateur enchanted the audience with a 30-minute ensemble split into three parts – a military section with a cast of dancers all sporting glossy slick buns with deep centrepartings, a gothic section featuring two wistfully textured styles reminiscent of Kate Bush’s Wuthering Heights video, and an epic ’70s-style finale, with models sporting Farrah Fawcett-inspired bangs.

Satisfaction guaranteed

With today’s clients taking a distinct interest in the products used on their hair, a standard consultation just won’t cut it. It’s time to turn your pow-wow into an interactive presentation

A CLIENT WALKS INTO YOUR SALON. You have two choices: you can chat briefly to them about what they want, you provide them with that service and they leave.

Or, you could take some time to sit down with them, explore different options, promote additional services and create a rapport that turns this walk-in client into a loyal customer – such is the power of a informative and visual consultation.

And with technological innovations aplenty in the salon, you’d be

foolish not to make use of them – pick up your iPad to provide clients with inspiration, or create colour moodboards on Pinterest to open their minds to the options available – it’s time to educate your clients!

By explaining the process they are about to experience and why each step is crucial to achieving their desired result, you will not only be demonstrating your level of knowledge and expertise, but also building their trust and respect to make retail recommendations later on in the appointment.

FOLLOW OUR LEAD TOP SALON OWNERS REVEAL THE LITTLE THINGS THEY DO DIFFERENTLY TO MAKE THEIR CONSULTATIONS FIRST CLASS

“We use as many visual aids as possible when doing consultations to give a real representation of what we would like to achieve. We grab as many images as we can to ensure we are on the right vibe with the client as sometimes a verbal description isn’t enough. Most of us have iPhones so whenever we can we grab a quick shot of the exciting looks we create and slowly but surely build up a diverse library of looks to show other clients what we can achieve.

We have to offer something different as often as possible – when clients come in it’s great to have a current image or idea on your iPhone, iPad or in a hair magazine ready for them to look at.”

STUART NICHOLSON, BURLESQUE SALON GROUP, NEWPORT

•47-54_Colour insider 4

JAMES LANGLEY AT MOD SALON, LEEDS, STICKS TO FIVE RULES 1. Every client is given a free consultation, separate to the colour service. Here we carry out a patch test and also talk the client though every step of the journey.

2. It’s really important that a client isn’t wearing a gown during a consultation.

We need to see what the client is wearing, which colours they like and their style.

Many of my clients like vintage clothes, with florals and patterns, so it’s important to ensure colour complements their look.

3. We use iPads and upload key trends and looks that our clients can look through.

4. Get to know your clients’ personality.

Interpreting what a client really wants is key, so listen. If a client isn’t happy, 98 per cent of the time it’s because the stylist hasn’t listened to them.

5. The Goldwell Color Zoom look books are great for consultation as they highlight an array of techniques, colours and styles.

“We use social media channels like Facebook and Twitter before our clients visit to suggest ideas. We might see an image and think that would look great on them and share it on their Facebook page, our clients love the personal touch and it builds a wonderful relationship.

We still sit down face to face but the difference is now that the consultation starts before they step foot in the door.

Pinterest is now a favourite with our team and clients, we make up trend boards and use iPads to show clients.

We also encourage them to make a board of their own before they visit the salon, and that gives us a really nice view of their taste.”

Lost in transition

The dip-dye isn’t dead, it’s just taken on a new guise – this year colour is all about transition

THE DIP-DYE WAS BIG – actually make that huge – news for 2012, but this year one of the hottest colour techniques is the transition method: a spin-off that involves backcombing and freehand colouring to create a transitional effect between shades. As one of the hottest colour trends to rear its head in recent years, it’s not surprising Goldwell has incorporated the technique into its 2013 Color Zoom collection Beautify, to create a stunningly natural colour result. Get practising, as this is one colour trend your fashion-focused clients will be dying to try out this year.

Of all the beauty treatments on offer, lashes are one of the most accessible for hairdressers, as the service can be easily integrated into your salon.

There has never been a better time to train stylists in lashes skills. Thanks to modern celebrities such as Katy Perry and Zooey Deschanel, full, long lashes are the look every client wants right now. In fact, salons have seen demand for lashes extensions increase by as much as 300 per cent in the past year alone.

However, with this increase comes a tide of lashes courses all competing for your attention. With so many to choose from, it can be hard to know which course is the one for you. Nouveau Lashes is the lashes innovator and has a range of courses to suit everyone.

Its experts have been setting the standard since 2005

and are committed to the personal development of each of their students. Its Let’s Go lashes course is one of the most popular – you can be trained in just two to three days, with no pre-requisites. With a low initial investment and a high return, this training is worth its weight in gold!

Nouveau Lashes will provide you with: • The skills to help you become a lashes professional • Expert trainers who are with you every step of the way • The confidence that will take you from training on a mannequin to live models, when you are ready • A commitment to work with you throughout your career, ensuring your techniques and the products you use keep you at the forefront of the industry In short, Nouveau Lashes is your new must-have partner. So why not start the New Year by learning a completely new e ye skill and be part of the lashes boom K ee p a n u vea u o that’s here to stay! out for N course –

Purpose Before you start, ensure you have a clear idea of what it is you want to achieve and what the collection is intended for.

Hair A lot of hairdressers think you leave the hair until last, but it's the focal point of the shoot and you need to be able to provide the team with a clear insight.

Photography Sit down with your chosen photographer. Talk through ideas and let them have an input – after all you’re paying for their expertise.

Models It’s hard dealing with model agencies as they often charge set fees. We find a lot of our models on the street instead.

Clothes styling Choose a stylist who can give you a choice if an outfit’s not working. Make sure the team chemistry works.

Shoot day It should be fun! Never underestimate the importance of detail to camera.

Strong colours and techniques... will be big this year. For reds it will be fiery tangerine coppers versus maraschino cherry red. Brunettes will be rusty bronzes versus deep fudge browns and we will see dirty blondes versus ultra-violet platinums.

Clients will be asking... for gloss and shine, because people want hair that’s going to look healthy and shiny. Blended colour is still going to be popular but it’s less about the contrast.

Good news for the industry… blondes will have a big year, which mean’s we’re getting back to high-maintenance colour.

Marc Antoni Hair Salon

Protect yourself

Snow, hail and rain – oh my! Chillier months aren’t kind to hair. Going from central heating in homes and offices to blasts of freezing cold air whenever you step outside means hair is constantly being battered, leaving it dry, frizzy and unmanageable.

Yet, while January is never going to be anyone’s favourite month of the year, you can make it that much brighter (and your clients’ hair smoother) thanks to the new System Professional Luxe Oil. It’s already a favourite among clients of Marc Antoni Hair Salons’ owner Bruno Marc Giamattei, as it’s perfect for pampering all hair types, especially dry, distressed or damaged hair.

“Hair will instantly benefit from just a few drops of this innovative and lightweight new oil from SP,” says Bruno. “Clients will love the gorgeous smell – it’s a great addition to your salon.”

SP Luxe Oil is enriched with argan, almond and jojoba oils, which battle hair’s natural disposition to frizziness in the colder months and leaves hair 10-times smoother instantly* – a true January miracle!

What’s more, this delicate elixir uses a reconstructive technology that treats the hair from the inside out, protecting its natural keratin up to three-times more.

The lightweight oil formula also makes styling easy and can be used on both wet and dry hair. On wet it smoothes, softens, protects and defines, while on dry hair it creates brilliant shine. It also works wonders as an overnight treatment, meaning your client wakes up to smooth, soft and truly luscious hair – how many clients can claim that in January?

So go on, brighten up the dark days of January and change your client’s hair for life with SP Luxe Oil.

*Versus low conditioning shampoo

Colder months mean clients’ hair needs a little extra TLC, which is why Marc Antoni Hair Salons looks no further than System Professional Luxe Oil to nourish and protect clients’ tresses

“SP Luxe Oil is incredible. My clients love the aroma and how soft their hair feels afterwards. It gives great results on both wet and dry hair. It’s my new must-have!”

In good hands…

Forward-thinking hairdressers reveal why they love Easydry

Like all good hairdressers and Salon managers, Easydry is always thinking about the future; innovation and invention are its guiding principles and it continually ensures its ranges of towels and capes are eco-friendly, hygienic and cost-effective.

This might seem like a tall order, but Easydry loves a challenge, which is why the brand is constantly

thinking about how it can make stylists’ lives easier.

The result? Individual, disposable towels that are extremely soft to touch, as well as being hygienic and environmentally friendly.

We could go on, but instead we thought you’d rather hear from the stylists who use the products about why they love Easydry…

“I’m never without Easydry towels. I use them for session work, in the salon and for masterclasses. They are so easy to use, especially the technical capes that attach comfortably and securely around the client’s neck. I also love that Easydry is constantly developing new products that provide stylists with solutions to problems we thought were with us forever – like laundering towels” Angelo Vallillo, art director, Zullo & Holland, Nottingham

“I love Easydry because the towels are very absorbent and great for the environment, which is brilliant. It also means the assistants don’t have to spend their time washing and drying towels, leaving them with more time to watch and learn from the stylists. Hygiene is another big factor; you know Easydry towels are super-clean and they look great in the salon” Ryan Harris, senior stylist, Angels, Aberdeen

“Easydry towels are not only soft, light and highly absorbent, but our clients and team comment on how good they look. We wouldn’t go back to the hassle and cost of laundering cotton towels, when all we need do is pick up a beautifully folded Easydry, confident it will do a better job than a traditional towel” Kirstie Bancroft, salon manager, Leo Bancroft, Weybridge

“We love Easydry towels as they ensure a hygenic, personalised service for each client. Brand new individual towels are all part of the service and ensure a great experience for the client” Daniella MacKenzie, assistant hairdresser, Andrew Barton Salons, Covent Garden

THE LAST WORD

Community service Salisbury is at the heart of everything the Jas Hair team does, making it a truly deserving recipient of the Most Wanted LOCAL SALON 2012 award, as Jayne Prigent explains

Caring for my community has always come naturally to me. My entire family is from Salisbury, I was born here, I trained at Salisbury College and I still live in the area today, so it made sense to start my own business in the city that I know and love.

The passion I have for the area has naturally spilled over into the wider business community. If local business does well then so do we, so we’ve put into place innovative marketing ideas to promote each other’s firms.

Salisbury Fashion Week, which we instigated last year, has worked brilliantly in getting all the local retailers to work collectively together to promote the city centre as a shopping destination. We’ve just finished our second fashion week and it has been a major crowd-puller for the city, benefitting everyone.

I-teen has been another success story. It’s a loyalty scheme for those aged 13 to 19 and is a great way of attracting future customers while also involving and promoting other businesses in and around Salisbury.

Giving back to our community is very important to us. Last year alone we raised £10,000 for local charity Stars Appeal, which raises money for new projects within our local hospital. It’s a charity close to our hearts and

the entire team at Jas made a massive effort to raise money by doing skydives, staying in haunted houses and wearing wigs to work. We even took a team of five to the Sahara Desert to trek 100km in seven days and can still vividly remember the agonizing blisters and extreme exhaustion!

In the current economic climate, it’s essential to work with and support your local community. Not just for the feel-good factor it brings, but as a vital part of your local marketing effort. We’ve seen a rise in new clients from the great press coverage and PR opportunities these initiatives have brought, so it’s been a win-win for everyone.

I founded Jas Hair Group 22 years ago, in the early days it was all about building and growing the business; I started with just three employees and now have 35 with three salons all based in the south-west of England. We were thrilled to win our Most Wanted accolade; the first national award any salon in Salisbury has ever won. I feel it’s a win though not just for ourselves but for the local community, too.

Jayne Prigent is founder of Jas Hair. Want to have your say?
