Editorial Letter

by Jessica De Vault Hale

Hair Care

It’s a Family Affair One of the benefits of going to an OTC store is knowing that everything you seek is in one place. Unlike big-box retailers that provide a special shelf or aisle dedicated to multicultural beauty, the OTC store’s sole purpose is to accommodate the multicultural community. If I’m looking for shampoo, and my spouse needs pomade, and my children could use some bows and clips for their next hairstyle, every one of these items can be found in a beauty supply store, in bulk, and with variety.

Where else can you find such convenience?

With the pandemic and other social crises changing the economic landscape, it’s easy to forget that. Sure, chain stores may have gotten ahead of the game because they were able to remain open. But your customers have not forgotten where their primary source of beauty supplies are found. The bigger stores cater to last-minute conveniences for the customer shopping for other household essentials. However, customers need access to every hair product and tool available to her – and her family - on the market. And shopping for her kid’s hair is not always easy in a bigbox store.

This month, OTC Beauty Magazine will be focusing on the little ones in our family – the kids. Check out some of our top-selling kids’ products in our Top 5 column on 40. We have even more kiddie favorites in the Marketplace on page 10.

I hope you take pride in knowing that your shoppers appreciate what you have to offer. You’re addressing a need that few outside the culture would understand. The female shopper may be your primary customer, but her entire family depends on your store to supply all of their hair and beauty needs.

Business Tips

By Ami Kassar

Take Advantage of the Current Financial Mess There’s no denying a societal crisis, especially a global one is a game changer in many ways, especially in the business community.

Plenty of business people – entrepreneurs and otherwise – are dealing with real pain and life- and business-threatening situations. You can only hope for the best.

Yet business owners, especially those whose current and future prospects aren’t completely bad off, have the ability to take advantage of whatever opportunities have arisen in these strange times.

That’s not to say you should prey on the misery of others, but there are some things you should be doing at this point that could pay off in the future.

Here are five things to consider.

1. Restructure any debt you already have Ideally, you don’t want to be taking on any more debt these days if you can help it – and that might be a big “if ” for a lot of businesses. Still, there’s plenty of opportunity to reduce your monthly payments.

Considering how life is always changing, your business might be viewed vastly differently now by lenders. For example, perhaps you’re generating increased amounts of collateral, cash flow or credit. Even with a pandemic slowdown, maybe your products or services are still in demand.

Refinancing should be on your table. Just by shaving a percentage point or two is going to cut your monthly debt service, which will put more money in your coffers. And in these troubled times, cash is king more than ever.

2. The SBA works Unlike in the past, you might now be eligible for a Small Business Administration-backed loan – or a better conventional bank loan.

24

OTC Beauty Magazine August 2020

The SBA got a lot of attention because of the CARES Act and the Payroll Protection Program, but it’s the agency’s regular lending programs that should interest you. Do note that in its regular programs, the SBA doesn’t make the loans – it only backs them for a select group of lenders.

The flagship 7(a) program offers low rates and fees, comes with counseling and education if so desired and generous repayment terms. In addition, lower down payments, flexible requirement regarding overhead and no collateral may also figure into the equation

3. Loyalty is nice when it comes to dogs, but necessarily for lending At the very least, you need to conduct a debt review to consider financing options as they stand now.

That said, you have to be careful. Your current lender won’t want you to go, especially if the current arrangement is lucrative in their favor. They may try scare tactics, claiming you’ll lose flexibility if you change lenders or that you may risk running out of money.

Resist that pressure. Think of it this way: What’s more important – your business or your lender? Your lender is certainly looking out for itself first.

You must, too.

And remember, it’s always possible your lender could rework your deal, which could save you from awkward moments.

4. Loans (and loan restructuring) aren’t always the answer More capital isn’t always the answer. Sometimes, it’s better to make do with less.

Entrepreneurs generally don’t want to scale back their operations because they’re too worried about growth. But few businesses grow in a straight line. There are ups and downs along the way and now you might just want to minimize the damage.

Steps you might take include deferring capital expenditures or deferring or reducing lease payments and non-critical vendor payments, if possible. By reaching out proactively to landlords, vendors and other contractor holder, you might be able to craft some breathing ground.

A credit line gives you peace of mind because you have a ready reserve to tap. And it gives you a great deal of flexibility. Say you get a short-term opportunity to buy a stockpile of a key raw material at a ridiculously low price. With a credit line, you can take advance.

On the unpleasant side, you could think about furloughing some employees or even pay cuts (if you choose the latter, make sure you cut your pay as well).

Remember that you only pay interest on a credit line if you borrow from it – and there’s no requirement that you do that. The credit line can sit there untouched, if need be.

5. Give yourself some credit

In summary, now’s a time when your goal may well be simply to ride out the next few months. That’s fine. Yet riding out the next few months isn’t the same as doing nothing. By being proactive, you can not only make the most of a bad time, but position yourself for the inevitable rebound.

This advice – which isn’t heeded nearly often enough -- applies for both when your company is doing well and when it’s struggling.

You should open a line of credit.

Nothing can explain how she felt when she opened the doors on March 13th, 2020 with bright eyed expectations for Dress Blu’s Hair. The grand opening was awesome! Friends and family came from far and near to support her and the business. The fresh paint was dry. The stations were supplied with most if not all necessities. The food was catered. The balloons matched the decor. Everything was perfect as soon she hit the playlist that she carefully thought out prior to this grand event.

Everyone enjoyed themselves. Her grandchildren topped it all off pretending they were barbers and stylists. At the close of the day, Nature activated the alarm, locked the door to her new life in the beauty industry.

CLIPPER TIPS Sponsored by Andis Co.

Guide to Maintaining Hair at Home

By Lici Febo

Since current events can make it challenging to visit your barber or stylist, it’s important to have an at-home hair care maintenance routine until you can patronize them again. But before committing to trimming your hair, consult with your barber or stylist to assist you in creating a game plan. They will be your best resource in helping you with product and tool recommendations and may even guide your through the process of light maintenance. Leave the major work to the professionals! They are trained to give you the right look according to your head shape, facial features and lifestyle. If possible, the best option would be to allow them to do the foundational cut so you can maintain the look at home. It’s always better to keep hair long and polished instead of waiting for a bad haircut to grow out.

Invest in a clipper and trimmer that will deliver professional results, such as the Andis Nation edition Cordless Envy® Li Fade Adjustable Blade Clipper and Slimline® Pro Li Trimmer. The clipper’s lever adjusts the blade length, making blending easier when working up the side and back of the head, and it comes with a set of attachment combs that will ensure you cut your hair at the appropriate length.

The trimmer’s t-blade works great around the hairline and hard to reach areas, especially around the ears. Both tools are cordless, making it easier to cut and trim on your own.

Use an Andis ProFoil® Plus Shaver for a razor smooth finish.

Remember, you can always cut more hair off but you can’t put it back on. Once you’re done with your cut, protect your investment by cleaning and oiling your tools with Andis Cool Care Plus and Andis Clipper Oil.

THERAPY TRENDS Creative World of Children’s Cuts & Curls

By Elayne McClaine

From toddlers to preteens, parents are charged with making them presentable for school, church and family photos. Products for the kids are seen on the OTC shelves in colorful, youthful detanglers, conditioners, or butters.

Some youngsters are not potential OTC customers. They remain at the head-to-toe shampoo/bath gel stage. However, once the parents invest in braid salons or barbershops, the aftercare market is alive. Depending on their hair texture, race and style, the children’s market requires that attention be given to the boys and girls who flaunt curls, cuts and coils.

Children start with the same beauty requirements—no more tears, no more pain. The parent is responsible for shopping for their products, when they shop for their own hair care needs.

No matter the texture or curl pattern, children need moisture, protection and nourishment for their hair and scalp. Parents initially select the style based on long-term, lasting style. Cornrows can last for weeks. Natural curls and waves can last for months.

The idea is to avoid daily, labor-intensive styles. Therefore, the styles that require little supervision or attention are preferred.

In today’s world, kids are going to salons and barbershops that specialize in kiddie cuts, twists and braids. Several new franchises are specializing in children consumers. Once the child is introduced to the salon or barber culture, they will continually need to spend on hair products. The product offerings encompass a full range of care for natural curls and textures. Kiddie kits are nearly a thing of the past. Packaging is uniquely unisex and colorful now, and the ingredient story is fruitful and fragrant. This segment of the market is designed for the creative world of kids.

Elayne McClaine has identified and developed emerging domestic and global trends in hair care, skincare and other consumer categories for such firms as Chesebrough-Pond’s, Revlon and Pharmacia (div. of Pfizer). Her expertise in therapeutic treatments for hair, skin and scalp led to the creation of the Women’s Institute for Fine and Thinning Hair, sponsored by Rogaine.

allowing them to gently penetrate the skin and deliver actives where needed allowing an increase in the skin’s biological processes. The two new lines offer different improvements on the skin: Bicoalgae XT helping to decelerate the aging process, while Bicoalgae ω3 helping to resolve skin inflammaging.

Opening the second day of the series, Elise Romain, Technical

Service Manager at Jungbunzlauer, showcased the company’s clean-label hair-styling curl balm with ERYLITE – a formulation

that is free from polyquats and silicones whilst having a reduced list of ingredients. The proven properties of ERYLITE include

moisturising and nourishing, controlling and reducing unwanted frizz, and improving hair manageability.

Feifei Lin, Ph.D., Global Business Development Manager at Elkem Silicones, outlined the challenges which formulators face today including finding differentiation in a crowded marketplace, fulfilling consumer’s desire of the perceivable youthful look

and feel, and delivering performance with natural ingredients.

Presenting Elkem’s PURESIL Silicone Elastomer Gel series, she

discussed how applying silicone elastomer gel to the skin acts Immediately following this session, Maria J. Lopez, PhD,

skin as in-vitro and in-vivo tests have a proven reduction on the activity of sensory neurons. The other latest development, Capsisilence, addresses a sensitive scalp. Similar to Calmapsin,

it reduces the activity of sensory neurons giving a calming effect and reduces inflammation by decreasing the release of inflammatory molecules from mast cells.

Other highlights on the final day included Geoffrey Stijfs, Technical Business Developer from Sappi, showcasing Valida, a microfribillated cellulose, bio based stabilizer for cosmetic formulations with enhanced skin sensory experience, and Serene

BIR Bits PEOPLE Tamara Johnson-Shealey, a veteran advocate for the beauty and barber industry, is running for Senate as a Democrat from Georgia. She is preparing for a summer road trip across the state to meet with voters and provide personal protective equipment to beauty and barber professionals, as she campaigns for the seat currently held by Sen. Kelly Loeffler. “Many professionals

are going back to work and making do. That is unacceptable if professionals are to keep themselves and their clients safe,” writes Tamara on a page to support her efforts (gofundme.

com/f/onthe-road-with-ppes). “Many professionals did not receive unemployment benefits, stimulus checks or grants and loans. They have no choice but to return to the salon and Tamara JohnsonShealey

barbershop. Their health and safety, and the health and safety of their clients, should not be in jeopardy. Our industry must be supplied with PPE; therefore, we are raising money to protect the integrity of our industry by doing two things:

“I will travel around Georgia—the first state to reopen salons and barbershops—distributing free PPE and copies of “The Concerned Beauty and Barber Professional’s Guide to Thrive and Survive” to licensed beauty and barber professionals.

“I will also be mailing free PPE and a copy of The Concerned Beauty and Barber Professional’s Guide to Thrive and Survive to licensed beauty and barber professionals across the country who also need help.”

In addition to educating salon pros about how to stay safe during the pandemic, Tamara also wants to hear their

concerns about the economy and health care. “The workers in the beauty and barber industry are underinsured—if

they’re insured at all. They don’t usually qualify for unemployment, so this virus is really hitting them hard,” she explains.

“I need to know what their needs are and what I can do as a candidate to help them.” Tamara began her career as

a nail technician, eventually owning her own nail salon. Today, she is president of The Concerned Beauty and Barber Professionals, an organization that advocates for improved health and safety standards, and senior advocate for Politics

Beauty and Barber, which educates industry workers how to engage in politics. Reach her at politicsbeauty@gmail.com.

Product Spotlight

Latex Gloves Now more than ever before, customers will be looking for gloves for professional and personal use.

These gloves are made specifically for salon use only; however, many shoppers may choose to use these gloves to protect themselves against germs and bacteria in their day-to-day lives.

Stock up on the Brittny Latex Gloves Pack to ensure you’re ready for the demand.

These powder-free gloves are available in sizes Small through Extra Large and are disposable. There are 10 gloves per pack, so be prepared that some shoppers may buy more than one pack at a time. We recommend placing a quantity cap on how many packs a customer can purchase at one given time.
