A word from Denis Thank you to all our amazing Cutting Crew Stylists who travelled from across the country to isolated outback Narrabri in June to cut, shave, style and add some crazy colour to participants of the Outback Car Trek – a quintessentially Australian road trip across our rugged land. All up during Cut-A-Rama, we raised a whopping $21,600 in donations for the Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia – our biggest and best effort ever! For us, aligning with a national charity is not just about country people – the Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia assist city people too. Anyone can be impacted by an emergency. And we’re so proud to be able to support a charity that affects the lives of so many people across Australia who wouldn’t usually have access to that kind of medical and emergency support. So thank you to everyone for your generosity! We couldn’t have done it without our Cutting Crew and brand ambassador, Grant Denyer, who all generously gave up their time to attend the event. Although, Grant may have left with a little more than he bargained for – pink hair!

CUT-A-RAMA 4
This was the 18th Cut-A-Rama event that we’ve put on. We’re so proud to be able to support a charity that impacts the lives of so many people across Australia. - Denis McFadden, CEO and founder of Just Cuts™ and dedicated Outback Car Trek trekker.
Just Cuts raises $21,600 for the Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia TM
Grant Denyer, the Just Cuts Team and the local Narrabri community rally to raise money at the annual Cut-A-Rama event TM
Cut-A-Rama went off with a bang on Saturday June 4th, with hundreds of people packing the local Crossroads Hotel in Narrabri, NSW, to join in on raising money for a great cause. This year, we smashed our 2015 record of $15,000 with a whopping $21,600 raised. Cut-A-Rama is the kick-off party to the Royal Flying Doctor Outback Car Trek, held the night before the charity trek commences. Eight Just Cuts Stylists and our Owner from Just Cuts Rockdale Plaza in Sydney travelled from all over Australia to help create wild hair styles and colours for the drivers to sport during their trek. TM
TM
Thousands of dollars were donated by trekkers and Narrabri locals to see their friends’ heads shaved, clipped and hair coloured for the cause. Thank you to Grant Denyer, our amazing Cutting Crew and everyone who helped make the night a huge success!
I’ve been involved with Just Cuts since 1999 and became a brand ambassador for them this year. I’m thrilled that I could be part of this amazing event! - Grant Denyer
One Just Cuts owner shares his Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia tale TM
While all our Owners are hugely passionate about raising money for the amazing cause that is the Royal Flying Doctor Service, one in particular has a very personal reason behind his love of the charity. In 1988, Peter Millios (who owns three Just Cuts salons in Townsville, QLD) found himself in need of assistance after an accident during a boy’s trip with his family. Peter was struck by his cousin on a motorbike travelling at 100km/hour after the driver’s tire blew out, shattering his leg. Peter was standing roadside, taking photos of the boys’ antics in a rural area during the long drive from the Blue Mountains in New South Wales to Cape York in Far North Queensland. TM
After a 4.5-hour drive in the back of the group’s 4WD, they arrived in a remote town where the Royal Flying Doctor Service was called in to help. A tiny plane landed and they embarked on another 4.5-hour journey to Cairns. On arrival, Peter was immediately put into treatment and had an operation for his shattered bones. He ended up staying in Townsville for several weeks to recover, where he was visited by his only friend in the area – Peggy. Their friendship blossomed and eventually turned into love. And now they’ve been married for 27 years! So if it wasn’t for the Royal Flying Doctor Service, Peter’s life would have been very different in many ways. How’s that for fate?! 5

Stylist at Just CutsTM Parramatta, NSW
I started at Just Cuts Indooroopilly 21 years ago, which was the first Just Cuts to open in Queensland. I have been extremely fortunate to be able to leave and come back when I changed jobs for a little bit and again when I had children.

I’ve worked for Just Cuts for seven years.
An Owner from a Just Cuts salon I previously worked in was my inspiration. He took part in the Outback Car Trek years ago and I always remember him talking about what a great event it was and how important raising money for the Royal Flying Doctors Service is.

What inspired you to want to take part in Cut-A-Rama? I really wanted to help raise money for the Royal Flying Doctor Service in front of my family and friends – I grew up in Narrabri!
What was your favourite part of the Cut-A-Rama event?
What was your favourite part of the Cut-A-Rama event?
I met a young lad from Narrabri who was telling me about an accident he recently had. He had a really bad fall from a horse and had to be airlifted to hospital. He was initially in a coma, then in intensive care, then had to learn how to walk and talk again. He is now back on horses again and thanks the Royal Flying Doctor Service for the initial care and treatment they gave him – it’s what ultimately saved his life.
I loved being able to give crazy cuts and create wild colours with freedom! Everyone was so much fun to work with and everybody was so generous with their donations. What would you tell fellow Stylists thinking of applying next time? Enjoy every moment of it and just have fun! For me, it was a once in a lifetime opportunity to be a part of, made more special because it was in my hometown and all my loved ones could join in too.
Bridgette Abood
Apply! It’s a such great experience. Meeting members of the local community and all the participants in the trek gives you such a great appreciation of the valuable work the Royal Flying Doctor Service do.

What was your favourite part of the Cut-A-Rama event? Meeting so many generous people with big hearts. Everyone was so positive and the whole event was a huge adrenaline rush. I had so much fun with all the Just Cuts Stylists – we worked as one big Team! TM
What would you tell fellow Stylists thinking of applying next time? Do it! Without question, make sure you apply. You get to travel and work with Stylists who have the same passion and drive as you. And you get to meet Denis. He really is so lovely – he did everything he could to make sure we were well looked after and made it so much fun for everybody! 6

What inspired you to want to take part in Cut-A-Rama? I had heard a lot about what the Royal Flying Doctor Service do around Australia from the fundraising we do in salon. And when I told my Team that I’d love to be a part of it, they really encouraged me to go for it!
What was your favourite part of the Cut-A-Rama event? Aside from the bumpy plane trip? The whole thing! It was a day full of fun, laughter and learning. I loved meeting Grant Denyer, Denis, the rest of the Cutting Crew and all the Narrabri locals. It really was a once in a lifetime opportunity.
What would you tell fellow Stylists thinking of applying next time? Just do it! It’s a fantastic experience and I really loved the Team. It was awesome!

What inspired you to want to take part in Cut-A-Rama?
What was your favourite part of the Cut-A-Rama event? There wasn’t really one favourite thing for me – I had lots.

I would definitely say just go for it. I applied this year for the very first time, never imagining that I would be chosen, but I was.

I am now in my 11th year at Just Cuts and am still loving every minute. TM
What inspired you to want to take part in Cut-A-Rama? My inspiration to apply for Cut-A-Rama was the Royal Flying Doctor Service. Even though what we raised was just a small percentage of what they need, every dollar counts and could be the difference between life and death for someone.

Definitely the overwhelming appreciation we felt from everyone, including doctors that were there, the wonderful Narrabri locals and the trek drivers. The genuine hugs of thanks all night were very humbling. Just knowing that we have helped to make a difference feels great.

What would you tell fellow Stylists thinking of applying next time? If you want to experience something amazing, go for it. Have fun and enjoy every minute of it! It’s for a great cause.

How long have you worked with Just CutsTM for? I started with Just Cuts Mount Druitt 16 years ago and have worked at a few different salons since then. TM

Keep your hands irritation free this winter Did you know that 61% of hairdressers experience some form of skin problem on their hands, usually dermatitis, throughout their career? As you would know, Stylists come into contact with a large range of substances each day at work, like shampoos and conditioners, styling products, head lice removal products and general salon cleaners. All of these products are made up of many different chemicals that can affect the skin and may lead to dermatitis or irritation. But don’t worry, it can be prevented! Prevention is the best way to deal with irritated skin. Taking good care of hands and protecting them as often as possible will help prevent skin conditions from taking hold. Below are some handy hints that you should take note of and share with your fellow Team Members.
Moisturise regularly:
Give these types of glove a try:
• Replace the moisture your skin loses during your working day with a rich, thick cream that contains no fragrances or hidden nasties – the more natural, the better
• Disposable vinyl, polyethylene or nitrile gloves
• Re-apply during your breaks, at the end of your day and before bed • If you find that a thicker lotion makes your hands too slippery throughout the day, pick a lighter option to use while working and apply a heavier cream at night • Rub the moisturiser into your hands and wrists and don’t forget the skin between your fingers
Think about wearing gloves: You might want to start wearing gloves when shampooing and working with water. It’s also a great idea to keep your hands protected when cleaning the salon and your equipment.
• Reusable rubber or vinyl gloves • Avoid using powdered latex gloves as they as you can develop a latex allergy after regular use Other handy tips: • Throw disposable gloves away after every use and every different Client • Avoid wearing gloves for more than an hour at a time to avoid irritation • Always dry your hands thoroughly with a towel, paying attention to the skin between your fingers • Take any chunky rings off before work because chemicals, detergents and water can get trapped underneath them and cause dermatitis to develop 9

Here’s a story you’ll definitely want to share with every Stylist you meet… Who would have thought that a visit to your local hairdresser could prove to be a life-saving decision? That’s exactly happened when John Whittington visited Just Cuts™ Wollongong in April this year. During his haircut, his Stylist Ingrid Mallia Panozzo (pictured), noticed an odd lump on John’s scalp. Ingrid didn’t like the look of it and insisted that John have it checked out. And he did! It turns out that this was the best decision he’s ever made. “I was diagnosed with an advanced malignant melanoma. I had two operations soon after the diagnosis – firstly to have the tumour removed
and another to remove some affected glands”, says John. He also said that if Ingrid hadn’t been so caring, sincere and insistent and told him that there was a doctor’s surgery just downstairs, he would never have had it checked out. And of course, luck or fate must have played a part. Ingrid works in a few Just Cuts salons owned by Lynne Ryan in the area and just happened to be in Wollongong on the day John decided to visit. TM
Talk about a life-changing salon visit! If there’s one thing we can all learn from this, it’s to make sure you’re always on the lookout during your Style Cuts cut service! TM

Here’s a feel good Just Cuts new Owner story that we think you’ll love… Earlier this year, Bronwyn and Kevin Grounsell purchased Just CutsTM Port Macquarie Settlement City, Port Macquarie Port Central and Forster from Noel and Jenny Gregory. They had only moved to Port Macquarie from Sydney before Christmas in 2015 with their young children, Brendan and Isabella. Bronwyn had been a Team Leader for Anna and John Duric in Rouse Hill for three years before she started working as a Stylist in Port Macquarie and Forster. Then they decided it was time to make the move to Owners! TM

We love welcoming new Owners into the family!
Happy birthday to beautiful Marie, a loyal Client of Just Cuts Bondi Junction who just turned 100!!! Marie treats herself to the Deluxe service every month and is just as wonderful and happy as she was when she first started visiting the salon over two years ago.

We love this story shared to us by Darren and Kristy Mant, the Owners of Just Cuts Marrickville… Their family recently visited Navala, a small village in Fiji, where they met a young hearing impaired local named Merekalita who Darren simply couldn’t forget. After weeks of liaising with the National Acoustics Laboratory in Miranda, Sydney, Darren was able to arrange for Merekalita to receive a “Pocket Talker” hearing advice to help amplify sounds to headphones. We’ve received word that Merekalita is overjoyed with her new hearing toy and that the smile on her face says it all. Merekalit’s mum couldn’t believe her eyes when her daughter first starting responding to her questions and sends her most heart felt thanks to Darren and his family. TM
On behalf of the entire Just Cuts family, we’re also sending out a huge THANK YOU to the Mants for reminding us of the overwhelming amount of good in the world! TM

Hair trends to heat up your winter
2 Rachel McAdams Bobs—we love ‘em, but they’re tricky to get just right. If you have fine to medium hair, take McAdams’ lead and ask for subtle layers and thinned, piece-y ends that look good blown-out around your face or softly flipped out.
Warm things up a little with these hot celebrity hair styles. Why not use one of these as Client inspiration for their next Style CutsTM cut?
1 Dakota Johnson Gradually taper bangs you’re trying to grow out so that they blend seamlessly into razored layers that start at the chin and stop just above the shoulders—you’ll never hit the awkward stage.

Here’s an easier way to tackle bangs that have overstayed their welcome: Start skipping your bimonthly trims, part your fringe down the middle and mist with a little JUSTICE ProfessionalTM Workable Hairspray for a rock-n-roll feel.
Alessandra Ambrosio A simple mid-length cut that’s full of body and free of trendy touches works on everyone regardless of age, hair texture or supermodel status.

I’ve had my hair cut at Just Cuts Erindale five times now and although I’ve had three different Stylists help me out, I have always ended up with exactly what I asked for. For years, I put up with a more expensive cut from a hairdresser who never got it right, so it’s a relief that I can now rely on the team at Just Cuts . This morning I turned up, went in and had my hair cut straight away. Great service – thank you! TM

I went into Just Cuts Palmerston North in New Zealand and they were absolutely fantastic. It was my daughter’s first ever haircut (and she is almost five!) because she’s always been too terrified to get it done. The two hairdressers who looked after her did a brilliant job reassuring her, and she came out beaming. Thank you! TM

4 Step Empowerment process This handy tool came out of the recent Retail Empowerment Training events that saw Josh Barnett and David Mathie travel across Australia to coach over 600 Just CutsTM Stylists. Don’t forget to continue to Empower Clients at every step during their Style CutsTM cut service!
Step 1: Inform! Inform the Client every time you apply product to their hair. Use product on all Style Cuts cuts Clients – this includes ‘shampoo and go’, ‘dry off’ or ‘blow wave’ Clients. TM
At the basin: • Shampoo and conditioner - Identify the product At the styling station: • Styling and finishing - Explain the what, how and why
Step 2: State the Action! Inform the Client when you have finished the Style Cuts cut by saying: TM
“I am now going to finish your hair for you,” while indicating to the tester stock shelf. Always state the action, don’t ask a question. Explain the what, how and why. Then place the tester on the work bench, in front of Client with the tester sticker facing forward.
Step 3: Recap! Once the Style Cuts cut service is complete, recap the whole service today using your back mirror. TM
Tell the whole story of the cut, styling and finishing. We always recommend a shampoo product even if the Client has not had one in salon today.
Step 4: The Question! After the recap, return your back mirror to your drawer. Step to the side of the Client and ask:
“Would you like to take any of these products with you today?” “Yes...” “Fantastic” | “No, not today...” | “Fantastic” TIP: Remove the cutting cape after this step. You then have the option to fill in a Prescription Pad for the Client and/or to recommend a sample sachet for them to take home.
Just check out! “Thank you Mary, this is your Style Cut 7-Day Guarantee. We will see you again in 5 to 6 weeks.” TM
This is where you can also explain any current in salon promotions.
