Expert Advice

by Dr. Kaleroy Papantoniou

Tips for a Quick Pimple Fix Wedding day, job interview, class photo...Is it just bad luck that zits appear on important days? Maybe not. We don’t know exactly how it works, but we do know that there’s a link between stress and acne. If you’ve never had acne, stress won’t cause it, but studies have shown that those who are prone to acne breakouts may find that stressful situations aggravate the condition.

So when a nasty pimple appears on your big day, what can you do? There is no shortage of home remedies for emergency treatment. Not every remedy will work on every individual and more important, not every suggested remedy is safe or effective. Some can irritate the skin and make things worse. I recommend a two-step process for a quick fix: first treat the pimple and then camouflage it.

Treat the Pimple • Ice it: Wrap an ice cube in a soft cloth and apply gently to the affected area for 20-30 seconds, rest for a minute and apply again. Cold reduces blood flow to the area and may reduce swelling and inflammation. Don’t press hard and don’t leave the ice on too long or you may irritate the skin.

• Apply an over-the-counter acne preparation that contains benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid which kill the bacteria that cause pimples. These creams and lotions also help shed layers of dead cells, leaving skin fresher and rejuvenated. A 2.5% concentration of benzoyl peroxide is sufficient and is less irritating than stronger formulations. Overusing acne preparations will irritate the skin; follow directions precisely.

• Apply an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream that contains 1% hydrocortisone. This medication provides pain relief, and can help to reduce swelling and redness in the area of the pimple. This should not be used every day, or for acne prevention; if used all over the face every day it can actually promote acne.

Camouflage the Pimple • Eye drops that are formulated to reduce redness in the eyes can also be effective in reducing the redness and irritation of acne. (Tetrahydrozoline hydrochloride is the ingredient to look for.) Apply to the area with a cotton swab, or combine with cold by soaking the cotton swab with eye drop solution, freezing for an hour or so, then applying to the pimple.

Kaleroy Papantoniou, M.D., F.A.A.D.,

•

Conceal the blemish with a heavy-duty cosmetic concealer. Consider blending two shades to avoid using one that’s either too light or too dark, which will accentuate the pimple. Blend carefully into the surrounding area.

What NOT To Do • Don’t pick, pop, squeeze or scratch an inflamed pimple. It will take longer to heal, will be more likely to leave a scar and will be harder to camouflage. Try to keep your hands away from your face entirely.

• Don’t use aspirin, toothpaste or other home remedies that aren’t formulated for the skin. They may actually trigger acne or cause irritation.

• Don’t expect a facial, chemical peel or other spa treatment to provide a quick fix. While they may ultimately have beneficial effects, in the short term they are likely to leave the skin red and irritated.

• Don’t overuse astringents. If used appropriately this can help the skin to contract and may shrink the pimple while also reducing the size of your pores.

Pharmaceutical astringents that contain benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid also fight pimple-causing bacteria. Natural astringents include: witch hazel (choose one without alcohol); lemon juice (dilute lemon juice with water and dab with a cotton swab over the area); and green tea (steep a tea bag in hot water, drain and apply directly).

• Don’t apply undiluted tea tree oil. This is an antibacterial essential oil with anti-inflammatory properties, and if used directly this may be irritating to the skin. There hasn’t been much research on its effectiveness, but it’s safe to use in diluted form. Dilute with coconut oil or argan oil and dab it on with a cotton swab.

General skin care advice won’t help in an emergency, but good skin hygiene will help you avoid those emergencies. In a true pimple emergency call your dermatologist and see if you can be seen that same day; a dermatologist can inject the pimple with low potency cortisone which dramatically helps to resolve the break-out. For prevention, start by washing your face twice a day with a gentle facial cleanser; follow with moisturizer.

Pat your face dry with a soft towel; don’t rub. Drink plenty of water. Exercise regularly and shower after exercising to remove excess perspiration from your skin. You can’t completely prevent your skin from acting up, but you can reduce the likelihood of it happening at an inopportune moment and be prepared if it does.

How should you sell it?

This month’s focus is...

Eyelash Selection!

Dramatic, natural, individual or self-adhesive… with so many false eyelash options, how is a girl to choose the right type? False eyelashes can add a glamorous finishing touch to any holiday style, but sometimes customers could use a little assistance with product selection.

What advice would you give customers on how to make the right false eyelash choice for them? What individual factors influence this decision?

“For smaller eyes, keep in mind that the length and volume play a very important part in choosing the perfect lash style. A lash style with less volume and length is ideal for a natural look; if the customer wants a more dramatic look, suggest a lash style with more volume than length as longer lashes can overpower smaller eyes. If they are looking for a style that will give their eyes a little lift, recommend a style that is shorter in the inner corner and longer in the outer; this will create a cat eye effect.

For larger eyes, it is almost always good to choose a more dramatic lash as it looks very natural on this eye shape/size.

Encourage the customer to try doubling up two pairs of lashes to add more volume for larger eyes shapes. Lashes are a great way to try out different looks and are meant to be fun so always encourage the customer to do just that!”

Ardell Lashes www.ardelllashes.com “For help when selecting the proper eyelashes, a conversation will need to take place with the customer. Information about the customer’s lifestyle and occupation should be considered, as well as, if the eyelashes are for a special occasion. Other information should be gathered, such as, if the client is wearing eyelashes for the first time.

They should be shown different styles of lashes based on the information gathered during the conversation. Eyelashes from dramatic to natural and the application process should be shown and explained to the customer. Lastly, a 24-48 hour “patch test” should be suggested with the adhesive to ensure the user is not allergic.

Given this information, customers can make informed decisions. When making informed decisions, they will more than likely be happy with the results, whether they select natural or dramatic looks.”

Toni Love, Owner Toni Love Training Center www.tonilove.com “The type of occasion or the look you are going for would determine how dramatic of a lash style you would choose. Another important factor to consider when choosing your style of lash is how long you want to wear them. Review how harsh the adhesive being used to apply your lashes is; will you be able to remove lashes without damaging your natural eyelashes, no matter how long you keep them on?

Also, once it is time to remove them, make sure to get them removed professionally or gently with an oil based agent.”

어떻게 판매할 것인가? 이 달의 판매 초점은 ...

아이래쉬 제품 입니다!

드라마틱, 네추럴, 낱개 또는 접착제를 바르는 방법….. 너무도 다양한 인조 속눈썹 옵션들 중에서, 여성들은 어떻게 적절한 타입을 선택할까? 인조 속눈썹은 어떤 홀리데이 스타일에든 어울릴 수 있도록 풍성한 마무리 터치가 가능하게 한다. 그러나 때때로 고객들은 제품 선택에 있어 약간의 도움이 필요할 수 있다.

고객들이 적절한 인조 속눈썹을 선택할 수 있도록 여러분이 할 수 있는 조언은 무엇일까? 어떤 개별적인 요인들이 결정에 영향을 줄까? “작은 눈의 경우, 길이와 볼륨이 완벽한 속눈썹 스타일 선택에 매우 중요하다는 것을 염두에 두어야 합니다. 길이와 볼륨감이 적은 속눈썹 스타일은 자연스러운 스타일에 이상적입니다. 고객이 좀 더 드라마틱한 모습을 원한다면, 길이보다는 불륨이 풍성한 속눈썹 스타일을 제안합니다. 왜냐하면 긴 속눈썹은 작은 눈에는 지나치게 진하게 보일 수가 있기 때문이죠. 눈매가 약간 올라가 보이는 스타일을 원하는 고객들에게는, 안쪽은 좀 더 짧고 바깥쪽이 더 긴 스타일의 속눈썹을 권해보세요. 이것은 고양이 눈 효과를 만들 수 있습니다.

큰 눈의 경우, 좀 더 드라마틱한 속눈썹을 선택하는 것이 거의 대부분 좋습니다 왜냐하면 이 스타일은 눈 모양과 크기를 더욱 자연스럽게 보이게 합니다. 두 쌍의 속눈썹을 한번에 사용하면 큰 눈매를 위해 더욱 볼륨 있는 모습을 연출할 수 있다는 것을 고객들에게 알려주세요. 속눈썹은 변화된 모습을 만들기에 좋은 방법이며 재미있게 시도할 수 있기 때문에 고객들에게 부담 없이 한 번 해보라고 권해볼 수 있습니다!”

Ardell Lashes www.ardelllashes.com

“적절한 속눈썹 선택에 도움이 필요한 경우, 고객과의 대화가 중요합니다. 고객의 라이프 스타일과 직업이 고려된 정보, 뿐만 아니라, 속눈썹이 특별한 날을 위한 경우인지까지도 정확히 알아야 합니다. 또한, 고객이 처음으로 속눈썹을 사용하려는 것인가 하는 다른 정보들도 필요합니다.

대화를 통해 얻은 정보를 바탕으로 다양한 스타일의 속눈썹들을 고객들에게 보여줘야 합니다. 드라마틱한 스타일부터 자연스러운 스타일까지 속눈썹과 부착 과정까지 보여주고 설명해줘야 합니다. 끝으로, 고객이 접착제에 알레르기가 없다는 것을 확인할 수 있도록24-48시간 정도 “패치 테스트”를 할 것을 제안해야 합니다.

이러한 정보를 통해서, 고객들은 결정을 할 수가 있습니다. 정보를 바탕으로 결정을 내릴 때, 네추럴 스타일이든 드라마틱한 스타일이든 그들이 선택한 결과에 더욱 만족할 수 있게 됩니다.”

Toni Love, Owner Toni Love Training Center www.tonilove.com

“참여하는 행사 형태나 연출하려는 스타일에 따라 당신이 선택하는 속눈썹의 스타일이 얼마나 드라마틱한지를 결정하게 됩니다. 속눈썹 스타일을 선택할 때 고려해야 하는 또 다른 중요 요소는 얼마 동안 속눈썹을 부착하기를 원하는가 입니다. 여러분의 속눈썹 위에 사용하는 접착제가 얼마나 독한 것인지 확인해보세요. 얼마나 오래 붙이고 있었는지에 상관없이, 원래 속눈썹에 손상을 주지 않고 가짜 속눈썹을 떼어낼 수 있을까요? 또한, 가짜 속눈썹을 제거해야 할 때, 오일 성분의 제품을 사용해서 전문적으로 부드럽게 제거해야 합니다.”

이 문제에 관해 여러분의 의견을 공유하고 싶은 분들은, hmcneal@otcbeautymagazine.com로 이메일 보내주세요. 여러분의 의견은 11월호에 게재됩니다!

Knowledge to Know

The Importance of Cleansing your Face and Removing all Makeup Each Day 일상적인 화장 지우기와 세안의 중요성

A

ccording to research, our skin is aging every day. Therefore, it is important to wash your face every day and night. The skin is either dry, oily, or a combination of the two.

First, the skin type needs to be determined in order to apply the proper products. Secondly, the technique of washing the face is important. Splashing water over the face in a hurry is not cleansing it. Lastly, the removal of makeup has to be done on a daily basis.

Skin Type Determination If the skin type is not determined, a product can be used that may damage the skin or make an existing condition worse. Visit an esthetician or a dermatologist to receive the proper skin analysis.

Face Wash Technique 101 When washing the face, use warm water to assist in lifting the dirt from the skin.

Warm water is more gentle than hot or cold water. Hot water tends to dry the skin; 32

Usually, a dime size of cleanser will be sufficient. Squeeze the product into the hands, rub them together and distribute it evenly across the face. Circular motions will provide just enough stimulation to ensure coverage to all areas of the face.

Exfoliating is another cleansing method used to cleanse the face. Dirt, as well as dead skin cells, are removed through the exfoliating process. When exfoliating the skin, the products used will clean deeper into the pores. There are facial scrubs sold exclusively for exfoliating. This is not a cleansing method to be used every day and night; it should not be performed on the skin more than twice a week. During the process, a dime size of the scrub is applied to the hands, rubbed together and used with circular motions. In some exfoliating kits, a special sponge is included, or the scrub can be used with a cloth.

For people who like natural products, they can purchase them from a retailer, or they can use household products such as honey, eggs, milk, tea and others to mix for cleansing and tightening of the skin.

Makeup Removal The cleansing process starts every morning before applying moisturizer and makeup, and ends at night after the removal of makeup. Makeup is taken off with a special remover that can be purchased at a local retailer. It is usually a solvent and is applied with a cotton ball. Vaseline and/or baby oil are commonly used to remove cosmetics from the eyes. There are also special creams sold for use on this area of the face. These creams tend to be very gentle.

Sleeping in makeup does not allow the skin to receive the oxygen it needs to repair itself. The skin is left looking dull and the natural exfoliating process is blocked. If there are other skin conditions present such as acne and makeup is not removed, products cannot be applied to the skin to assist with the problems.

It is important to cleanse the skin completely and remove makeup because dead skin cells need to be removed, along with sebum, which is the main cause of blackheads. Also, the pollution in the atmosphere from being in different environments during the day is on the skin and needs to be removed before going to bed. In order to maintain healthy looking skin, you must cleanse every day and night.

THE ERA OF CUSTOMIZATION IN THE

Barbershop

이발소 고객 맞춤화 시대 What is customization?

Customization이란 무엇인가?

To modify (something) according to a customer’s individual requirements,

고객 개인이 원하는 대로 (무언가를) 수정하다.

verb (used with object), customized, customizing. 1. To modify or build according to individual or personal specifications or preference: to customize products or services to fit a client’s preference. (Dictionary.com) -------------In this era of customization of the barbering industry we are seeing new products designed to help make the barbering experience convenient and more professional without the need for additional supporting services as often (i.e. blade and shear sharpening and blade setting). I wrote about this briefly in my article from 2011 titled “Barbernomics.”

A few years back in 2009-10 I was introduced to a product called Clipp-Aid (www.clipp-aid.com). Clipp-Aid® is a unique clipper and trimmer maintenance product for barbers and stylists. At the time, the product was unrefined and still in the testing stages. I was called to the meeting by one of my mentors Louis Alvarez, the owner of a mobile barber supply company and we met and spoke with the owner and barber, Romeo Turner, at an impromptu meeting in a mall food court. At that time, Clipp-Aid was being offered in a large container with cumbersome items such as a brush and container in order to use the product and after one test of the product I knew it would be a great breakthrough and success for Mr. Turner and the industry.

Ironically, he was only focused on offering the product to the barbering industry, but when I told him about the equestrian world and the pet grooming business it became 36

꾸거나 만드는 것: 고객의 선호도에 맞추기 위해 제품이나 서비스를 사용자 정의한다. (Dictionary.com)

--------------

이용업계의 고객 맞춤화 시대에서, 우리는 이발 경험을 편리하게 하고 추가적인 지원 서비스 없이도(예 를 들자면, 블레이드, shear sharpening , 블레이드 세팅) 보다 전문적으로 만드는데 도움이 되도록 설 계된 새로운 제품들을 보게 된다. 나는 2011년 내가 쓴 기사 “Barbernomics”에서 여기에 대해 간략 하게 서술했다.

몇 년 전인 2009-10년, 나는Clipp-Aid (www.clipp-aid.com)라는 제품을 소개받았다.

Clipp-Aid® 는 이발사와 미용사들을 위한 독특한 클리퍼이자 트리머 제품이다. 그 당시, 이 제품은 세 련되지 못했고 여전히 시험 단계에 있었다. 나의 멘토이자 모바일 이발 제품 회사의 소유주인Louis

Alvarez가 나를 미팅에 불렀고, 우리는 이 회사의 소유주이자 이발사인 Romeo Turner를 작은 쇼핑몰

푸드 코트에서 만나 즉석 회의를 했다. 그 때 당시, Clipp-Aid는 제품을 사용하기 위해서 브러쉬와 컨테

이너처럼 크고 무거운 아이템들과 함께 큰 컨테이너에 담겨 있었는데, 한 번 테스트 한 후, 나는 이 제품 이 대단한 돌파구가 되고 Mr. Turner와 업계를 크게 성공시킬 것을 알았다.

아이러니하게도, 그는 단지 이발업계을 위한 제품 제공에 초점을 맞추고 있었다, 그러나

내가 승마나 애완견 그루밍 사업에 관해 얘기했을 때, Romeo는 제품 디자인과 옵션을 확장해야 한다

clear to Romeo that he would have to expand his options and designs for the product. This all-in-one product allows barbers to clean and sharpen their metal blades like new in less than two minutes right in the convenience of their barber shop or salon. Clipp-Aid now comes in a small pouch designed for one or two sharpenings, and can be tossed in the trash after use. His product has been customized for clippers and trimmers for both human and pet grooming.

This product is a great success story.

는 것을 분명히 하게 되었다. 이 올인원 제품은 이발소나 미용실에서 편리하게 사용할 수 있으며, 이발

사들이 금속 블레이드를 2분도 안되어 새 것처럼 날카롭고 깨끗하게 만들 수 있게 해준다. 현재의ClippAid는 작은 파우치에 들어있는데 1-2회 정도 샤프닝을 할 수 있게 설계되었으며 사용 후 휴지통에 버릴

수가 있다. 그의 제품은 클리퍼와 트리머에 있어서 사람과 애완 동물 모두의 미용에 맞게 사용자 정의가 되었다. 이 제품은 대단한 성공 스토리이다.

Meeting the Needs of Barbers Clippers are running cleaner with new materials and technology in the housing, which keeps the blades at lower temperatures with less malfunction and breakdowns. I know you may say this is not customization. Well, not necessarily customization, but more like innovation when it comes to the base equipment barbers may use on a daily basis. Clipper companies are more in-tune to the needs of barbers, and companies like Conair, Babyliss Pro and Oster are now focused on creating and delivering clippers that barbers can learn to love, and use to create designs and new hair styles. Andis and Wahl are ahead of the curve somewhat. I remember sitting in the Andis Corporate office across the table from Matt Andis, President of Andis Company, sharing a power point presentation about innovation in our industry and the need for better educators who barbers want to see in their schools and on the Andis platforms at our industry events.

Mr. Andis spoke about the future of the Andis Company and his focus on taking the company to the next level through innovation and education. He said, “Andis Co. will be an iconic brand just like Harley Davidson and John Deere.” Not only is Mr. Andis making good on his promise, they are delivering some of the best products and educators available today! By the way, pick up a pair of their Andis Black Label Master, a must-have for any clipper enthusiast; did I mention they are customized?

이발사의 요구 충족

Step it Up Another place we are seeing customization in our industry is in the category of education.

This spans Apps for appointments, social media experts training barbers on the importance of having an online presence through Instagram and Facebook, and my favorite forum – Periscope – where you can actually offer web instructor-led training.

Barbers also love customized barber chairs, especially those from Mr. Beauty Equipment who is a renowned distributor of salon and spa equipment, furniture and fixtures.

재 이발사들이 사용법을 쉽게 배우고, 새로운 헤어 스타일과 디자인을 만들 수 있는 클리퍼를 제조 보급 하는데 초점을 두고 있다. Andis와Wahl가 어떤 점에서는 앞서있다고 할 수 있다. 나는 Andis사의 사장

Andis씨는 혁신과 교육을 통한 회사의 다음 단계로의 도약에 관한 자신의 초점과 Andis사

의 미래에 관해 얘기했다. 그는, “Andis사는 Harley Davidson 나 John Deere처럼 상징적인 브랜드가 될 것입니다.”고 했다. Andis씨는 그의 약속을 잘 이행하고 있을 뿐만 아니라, 현재 유용한 최고의 품질

literally a work of art, handmade and customized for barbershops and salons (www.frankie-designs.com). With over 20 years of experience in custom upholstery they are the number one source for custom barber chairs and shop furniture.

The Barbershop, Transformed Over the past 5 years the barbershop has transformed and recreated itself into a more refined experience. Barbers have become more focused on ways to save time and keep clients in their chairs as competition increases from non-traditional, unisex barbershops and barbershop industry chains such as Sport Clips. Sport Clips offers men and boys more than just a haircut – they offer them a unique, sports-themed experience they can’t get anywhere else. Sport Clips is now in 49 states with more than 1,350 locations (www.sportclipsfranchise.com).

Barbers are now offering new liquid products designed and customized for savvy clientele and those who would like to connect to a more urban and less corporate brand. In this space you will find products like Xotics, created by Curtis Smith, and the Pacinos signature line of hair grooming products by Eric “Pacinos.” The Pacinos line includes a pomade and a crème sculpting wax. They also have one of the most successful Apps for the barbering industry: Pacinos App Vol. 1, 2 and 3, which are all available on the iTunes and Android market.

Also, Terrell Simpson (a.k.a. Cassius) created Roller Coaster Waves, a great product.

Roller Coaster Waves has now established major manufacturing with Professional Products Unlimited and can be purchased on Amazon. Future plans will be to expand and offer instructional workshop campaigns (www.rollercoasterwaves.com).

Finally, you have industry professionals like Tyrik Jackson who bring incredible skill to the world of color. He recently brought his team of skilled barbers to the Bigen Barber Stage at Bronner Brothers this past August in Atlanta, Ga. Tyrik Jackson is owner and partner of Premier Barber Institute where he progresses his passion for cosmetology and barbering. He is also CEO of Tyrik Jackson International, Inc. and sole proprietor of Sharper Image Barber Shops I & II in Lancaster, Pa. Tyrik was the winner of the renowned 2006 Bronner Brothers Barber Battle in Atlanta, Ga. An audience of more than 22,000 spectators watched on August 6, 2006 as Tyrik was awarded $25,000 and given the name “X-Factor.” He believes innovation and customization equals personalization and monetization of our industry!

As Barbers continue to venture out into the corporate world to make products relevant and customized for the barbering industry you can bet that you will see new clipper brands, clothing, shoes, vehicles and technology coming to a barbershop near you. Keep up the good work!

HANDY TIPS TO STRENGTHEN BRITTLE NAILS You will be surprised how chipped and frayed nails can bring your otherwise diva-like image crumbling down. When you spend so much time on your hair and skin care, it only stands to reason that you spend a few minutes of that time caring for your nails. After all, there’s nothing like perfectly filed glossy nails to bolster your confidence. Here we have compiled a few tips that will give your brittle nails the sheen that they need.

Stop Biting Your Nails If you are one of those women who tend to bite her nails when she’s nervous or just out of habit, then you need to stop it right now. Not only are you unconsciously eating the dirt embedded under your nails, but it is also causing sharp ridges on your nail plate. Next time you feel the urge taking over, simply distract yourself.

Put On Your Cleaning Gloves Make it a point to put on rubber gloves while cleaning. It is the only barrier for your skin against harsh cleaning agents. The toxic cleaner not only dries your hand, but also breaks down the nails. This simple tip can go a long way in protecting your nails.

Olive Oil Massage Want a quick tip for super glossy nails? Then a hot oil massage is something for you. Mix a few drops of lemon juice in warm olive oil, massage the concoction on your nails, slip on a pair of cotton gloves and let the oil work its magic overnight. Your hands will be baby soft and your nails will be super-shiny in the morning.

K-t-K

File Your Nail In One Direction This is perhaps the oldest trick in the book, but it does work! Filing your nails in one direction will put less stress on the fragile tips and keep the skin from splitting. It might be awkward initially, but you will get the hang of it soon enough.

paints contain alcohol which turns your nails brittle and can even cause nails to change colors from pearly crème to slightly yellow. Let your nail breathe. We recommend giving your nails 2 to 3 weeks before the next coat of paint.

Moisturize Your Nails Every time you moisturize your skin, make it a point to dab some cream on your nail bed and cuticles too, it will keep your nails hydrated throughout the day. A moisturizer with vitamin E will work best for both your skin and nails.

Take Vitamins Taking vitamins can help your nails grow stronger and longer. Biotin works the best for your hair and nails. You can also take vitamin E capsules and apply it directly on your nails. Just take a capsule, make a tiny hole with a pin, squirt the content directly on your nails and rub in the gel evenly. Before consuming any pills it is a good idea to consult with your doctor first.

Let Your Nail Breathe We all love to paint our nails, but excessive painting can be damaging. Nail

These tips here are sure to give anyone a serious case of nail envy. For that added pampering don’t forget to indulge in a nail spa.

Urban Call Briefs Dr. Bridgette Miller Jones Dr. Bridgette Miller Jones is a very unique person – quiet and unassuming but determined to be successful in serving others. She was born in Chicago, and raised in Winston Salem, NC. While attending Spelman College, a Historically Black College and University, in Atlanta, Ga., she fell in love with community service and became heavily involved with volunteer work, both inside and outside of the Spelman College gates. The college also provided her with the opportunity to learn more about a growing passion for dentistry as a leader within the Spelman College Pre-Dental Institute. Dr. Jones’ first interest in dentistry began after receiving orthodontic treatment, and seeing how much it improved her overall confidence. At this point she wanted to be able to give that gift to others, especially those who do not readily have access to dental care. Upon graduation from Spelman she was fortunate to become a member of the Inaugural Class at East Carolina University School (ECU) of Dental Medicine in Greenville, NC. In dental school she helped to found the ECU Chapter of the Student National Dental Association and the Student Professionalism and Ethics Association.

Dr. Jones was involved with many other services, including Mission Of Mercy Charitable Dental Cares (MOMS), and mentorship organizations on campus and in the local Greenville Community. During those four years in Dental school, she became a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated. Today she is engaged to her college sweetheart and currently in a one year General Practice Residency in Asheville, NC. She is looking to stay in North Carolina for a few years to continue the practice of dentistry.

Dr. Bridgette Miler Jones is the daughter of Sandra and Lafayette Jones. The latter is a long term columnist of Urban Call Briefs for this publication, OTC Beauty Magazine.

Vanessa Williams Vanessa Williams is an American singer-songwriter and actress. In 1983, Williams became the first African American woman to win the Miss America beauty pageant. As a child, Vanessa Williams studied French horn and piano and also enjoyed singing.

She earned herself a scholarship to Syracuse University, studying for a major of Theatre Arts. She left the university when she won the Miss America contest so that she could fulfill her role as the winner. She did, however, achieve a graduation certificate from the university 25 years later when she earned her remaining credits from her Tony-award winning Broadway shows.

Vanessa Williams first started entering beauty pageants in the 1980s. In 1983, she won Miss New York and in September that year, she was crowned Miss America 1984 and became the first African American 46

OTC Beauty Magazine October 2015

woman to win the title. Williams received death threats and racial abuse prior to winning the title and 10 months into her reign, she received an anonymous phone call threatening to publish some nude photographs that had been taken of her before she won the title. Hugh Hefner refused to publish the pictures in Playboy on the grounds that they had not been authorized for release and did not want to embarrass Williams any further. However, Bob Guccione, the editor of Penthouse paid for the rights to the photos, regardless of Williams’ wishes. As a result, Williams was stripped of her Miss America title.

In 1988, Vanessa Williams released her debut album, “The Right Stuff.” The lead single, of the same name, was a success on the US R&B charts. The second single was “(He’s Got) The Look” and the third, “Dreamin,” was Williams’ first Top 10 hit on the mainstream Hot 100 chart. The album reached gold status and she won three Grammy Awards, including the Best New Artist Grammy. Williams’ second album, “The Comfort Zone” featured the hit single “Running Back To You.” The next three singles, “Just For Tonight,” “Work To Do” and “Freedom Dance (Get Free!)” also performed well. Her biggest hit single to date, though, was “Save The Best For Last.” “The Comfort Zone” sold over 2 million copies in the US alone. The third album from Vanessa Williams, released in 1994, was “The Sweetest Days,” which was a blend of jazz, hip-hop and Latin. It featured the tracks “Betcha Never” and “You Can’t Run,” which were written and produced by Babyface.

The album was nominated for two Grammy awards. In 1997, Williams released “Next,” and “Everlasting Love” in 2005.Williams also released two Christmas albums. The first, “Star Bright,” was released in 1996 and the second, “Silver and Gold,” was released in 2004.

After college, Leslie launched her modeling career, signing with the prestigious Wilhelmina Agency in 1996.

Paige Woods It isn’t every day that a young black woman who was raised by her mother in the state of North Carolina be accepted into the world’s most revered institution of higher learning, Harvard University, along with eight other prestigious institutions including UNC Chapel Hill, Duke University and Dartmouth University. But it did happen to 18-year-old Paige Woods who was one of 1,600 freshmen college students in the world who moved to Cambridge, Mass. to attend Harvard College. She received an outstanding $900,000 in scholarship money from various sources including a Faculty of Arts and Sciences Scholarship from Harvard valued at $53,750.

These opportunities became available because Paige was an exceptional high school student, involving herself in over 20 clubs including Girls Empowered by Math and Science where she served as a teacher’s assistant and junior counselor, Varsity Volleyball where she was Captain and MVP, Student of the Year her 9th, 10th and 12th grade years where she was nominated by students and teachers, and had the fourth highest GPA in her class. “I wanted to be my best and I didn’t seek to compete against anyone else. The only person I was competing against was my own self to ensure that I was functioning in the most efficient manner I possibly could,” said Paige.

With her reputable academic success and history of servitude, Paige says that she would not have even thought of applying to Harvard had it not been for the Simmons Memorial Foundation which provides college counseling for students from vulnerable backgrounds. “At first, the request for me to apply to Harvard seemed so preposterous and foreign that I was taken aback. I remember sitting in my mom’s room, telling her that I had feelings of doubt…Most of these schools were places that I would have never applied to had it not been for the urging of the Simmons Memorial Foundation’s staff who pushed me far beyond my comfort zone and for the emotional and financial support of my mother.”

Whether it was coming to know what she truly wanted in school or acknowledging her strengths and weaknesses, the college process helped her to grow as a person. It also gave her the opportunity to see the remarkable ability of God to bless abundantly. Not only was she accepted into nine top-notch institutions including three in the Ivy League, she was awarded generous financial aid grants and scholarships.

Paige plans to double major in African and African American Studies and Sociology, and minor in global administration. She wants to pursue a career in global health administration in order to assist low resourced families receive the best health care possible.

Paige Woods is now in her senior year at Harvard College in Cambridge, Mass. and graduates in the class of 2016 with a Bachelor’s degree in Social Studies and African and African American Studies.

Remember to Engage the Beauty Obsessed Latina 아름다움에 열정적인 라틴계의 마음을 사로잡자.

t’s not new news that the United States is becoming more diverse than ever, and that unique populations are the drivers within major categories. In the past 15 years alone, the Hispanic population has nearly doubled from 35.7 million Hispanics in the year 2000 to 55.4 million in 2014. So how does this impact the beauty industry?

According to a recent Nielsen study, “Hispanic consumers are the foundation for beauty category sales.” The study breaks down that while sales have declined across various beauty categories, it’s the opposite for Hispanics. There are yearover-year growths across key categories. For example, the hair care industry faced a 3.6% decline overall, yet the category grew 3% with Hispanics. For beauty brands, businesses and retailers, this is a major growth opportunity to engage a population that is innately beauty obsessed. But understanding the cultural uniqueness of the segment is key to marketing success.

Being a salon/business owner myself in a major Hispanic market, Miami, I not only see each day the power of the Latina consumer, but also their passion for all things beauty. So what makes Latinas unique?

Vanity is Celebrated Latinas begin a beauty regimen at a much younger age than their traditional American counterparts. Culturally, Latinas celebrate vanity, and express that when you look good on the outside, you feel good on the inside. This mentality is typically the opposite for most women. However, this celebrated vanity leads Latinas to start dying their hair at a younger age, and use multiple products/ regimens to obtain a long-term younger beauty look.

Latinas like to be Marketed to and Have Dollars to Spend on Products U.S. Hispanics currently hold a spending power of $1.5 trillion, and Latinas control 86% of that spending power, as they are the primary decision makers. Pair that purchase power with their hunger for learning about brands who speak to them either culturally or in language, and you will see sales and brand loyalty grow.

Business Tips If you’re ready to start marketing to Latinas, here are a few ways that I make sure to keep Latina consumers top of mind for my business: • Educate them on products and how it addresses their unique beauty concerns. For example, Latina hair tends to go brassy when colored so I educate them on the products/regimen to use/follow to minimize brassiness.

• Provide information and tips in both English and Spanish. Many Latinas are Spanish-dominant and feel a company/business is valid when they speak to them in Spanish.

• Ensure that visuals show culturally diverse women either on-pack or on-shelf. It’s important to note that there is not one look for all Latinas. They come in all colors and looks. Latinas can be as fair- skinned as Actress Bella Thorne to a deeper-toned as Model Joan Smalls.

• Ask your Latina customers directly what they would like to see more of. Opening a two way dialogue is something I pride myself on with my Latina consumers. They appreciate being heard and catered to for their unique needs.

I hope you found these tips useful and don’t forget to keep up with industry news on the Hispanic segment as their power is sure to grow.

3 Reasons a Balanced Life is a Better Life

At work and at home, success depends on finding equilibrium

균형 잡힌 인생이 더 나은 삶이 되는 3가지 이유 직장과 가정에서 성공은 균형을 찾는 것에 달려있다.

Life sometimes can seem off kilter, or unbalanced, as responsibilities mount and people plow all their physical and mental resources into what seems to be the most pressing crisis of the moment.

But I say that’s a good time to take a step back. Everyone has the potential to shine in life’s darkest moments, but the key to achieving goals and an overall better existence is to maintain a balance so that one aspect of your life isn’t consumed by another.

While some people might say balance in life is an impossible goal, I disagree.

When each of us finds our equilibrium we become more productive and greater assets to our communities.

There’s balance in everything we do, be it walking, talking, eating, sleeping, working or spending time with family. For example, look at how we try to deal with our work-life situation. We balance our workload so that we can still make room for other activities, to spend more time with our spouses or our children.

We do that because we understand how important it is.

The following are reasons why living a balanced life is essential: • The health factor. Staying balanced is a key to a healthier and successful life.

Both mental health and physical health benefit, and as a result, so do our overall lives. When we’re healthy, we’re able to care for ourselves and others in our community.

• The empathy factor. When we find balance in life, we can better understand the importance of helping the underprivileged. You begin to realize that someday 52

사람들은 여러 가지 책임들이 쌓이고 가장 시급한 위기처럼 보이는 순간이 되면 자 신의 모든 신체적, 정신적 에너지를 한 곳에 쏟아버리기 때문에, 때때로 삶은 뭔가 잘못되었거나, 균형을 잃은 듯 보일 수도 있다.

그러나 나는 그 순간이 한 발 물러 날 수 있는 좋은 시간이라고 말하고 싶다. 모든 이들은 인생의 가장 어두운 순간에 빛을 발할 수 있는 잠재력을 갖고 있 다. 그러나 목표를 달성하고 전반적으로 더 나은 존재가 되기 위한 열쇠는 당신 인 생의 한 측면이 다른 것에 의해 소비되지 않도록 균형을 유지하는데 있다.

삶의 균형은 불가능한 목표라고 말하는 사람들도 있겠지만, 나는 동의하 지 않는다. 우리 각자가 스스로의 균형을 발견하면, 우리는 지역 사회에 더욱 생산 적이고 큰 자산이 되는 것이다.

우리가 하는 모든 것에는 균형이 있다, 걷고, 말하고, 먹고, 잠자고, 일하 고 혹은 가족들과 시간을 보내는 것에도 균형이 존재한다. 예를 들어, 우리가 직장 생활의 상황에 어떻게 대처하는지 살펴보자. 업무량에 조정하여, 다른 활동을 하거 나 가족들과 더 많은 시간을 보낼 수 있는 여유를 만들 수 있다. 그것이 얼마나 중요 한지 우리는 알고 있기 때문에 그렇게 하는 것이다. 다음은 균형 잡힌 삶을 사는 것이 필요한 이유들이다: • 건강 요소. 균형을 유지하는 것은 건강하고 성공적인 삶의 열쇠이다. 정신 건강과 신체 건강의 혜택은 결과적으로 전반적인 우리의 생활에 영향을 끼친다. 우리가 건 강할 때는, 우리 자신은 물론 주변의 다른 사람들에게도 관심을 기울일 수가 있다.

• 감정 이입 요소. 우리가 삶의 균형을 찾을 때, 우리는 소외 계층을 돕는 것의 중요

Business Tips you could be in their situation, which makes you a more empathetic person. Your economic situation is like your health; nothing is guaranteed.

• The role-model factor. Sharing our stories – whether they are tales of success or failure – is important because others can learn from us and be inspired as they too strive for a balanced life. When you tell your story it empowers, motivates and encourages people to not give up on their dreams and goals. Maybe you think your story is just not that interesting or important, but for someone out there, it may be the spark that ignites them to great things.

I have always strove to find balance in my life, but became even more passionate about it after I suffered a stroke in 2001 that left me partially paralyzed. I have since recovered, but the event had a profound impact on me and I will always consider myself a stroke patient.

Before the stroke, I thought my life was balanced in a way. I mean, I ate healthy foods. I exercised seven days a week. But it was not balanced in the way I wanted.

I had been too focused on myself. I realized that life was not just about me, but about others.

Finding balance in life isn’t just a feel-good concept. As people achieve balance, they realize they have the potential to rise above their circumstances. They can become more productive in their communities and that is good for everyone.

Staying proactive and shifting the way we think can even help the economy to grow and can help create more jobs.

Certainly, maintaining a balanced life may be tougher than ever because technology allows work – emails, text messages, telephone calls – to intrude on people’s “off ” hours. But that’s just all the more reason to make a concerted effort to strive for balance.

It has become popular in some circles to argue that a balanced life is a myth and can’t be achieved, but regardless of their views, most people seem to be trying to bring balance to their lives, even if they don’t think of it that way.

We eat healthy to stay balanced, we get enough sleep or rest to avoid stress, we juggle our daily activities to stay balanced; to be successful in anything we do we must have some sort of balance.

성을 더 잘 이해할 수 있다. 당신도 언젠가 그런 상황에 처할 수도 있다는 것을 인식 하고, 자신을 남의 입장을 더욱 잘 이해하는 사람으로 만들기 시작할 것이다. 당신 의 경제 상황은 건강과도 같다; 어떤 것도 장담할 수가 없다.

• 롤 모델 요소. 우리의 이야기를 공유하는 것 – 그것이 성공의 스토리이든 실패의 이야기이든 – 은 다른 사람들이 우리로부터 배울 수 있고, 균형된 삶을 위해 노력하 려는 영감을 줄 수 있다는 점에서 중요하다. 당신의 얘기를 할 때, 그것은 사람들이 그들의 꿈과 목표를 포기하지 않도록 격려하고 동기를 부여하며 힘을 실어주게 된 다. 당신의 이야기가 그다지 흥미롭거나 중요한 것은 아니라고 당신은 생각할 지 모 르지만, 어떤 사람들에게 그것은, 그들이 더욱 커다란 것을 할 수 있도록 불꽃을 피 워주는 것일 수도 있다. 나는 언제나 내 삶의 균형을 찾으려 노력했지만, 2001년 뇌졸중으로 몸의 왼쪽이 마 비가 된 후부터는, 더욱 열정적으로 노력하게 되었다. 회복이 된 후에도, 그것은 내게 막대한 영향을 끼쳤고 나는 항상 내 스스로를 뇌졸중 환자로 여기게 될 것이다.

뇌졸중을 앓기 전에, 나는 내 인생이 어느 정도는 균형이 잡혀 있다고 생 각했다. 건강한 음식들을 먹었다는 뜻이다. 일주일에 7일을 운동을 했다. 그러나 그 것은 내가 원했던 점에서의 균형은 아니었다. 내 스스로에게 너무도 집중했던 것이 다. 인생은 단지 나만이 아니라, 다른 사람들에 대한 것이라는 것을 깨달았다.

인생에서 균형을 찾는 것은 단지 기분 좋은 개념만은 아니다. 사람들이 균형을 찾게 되면, 그들은 자신의 환경을 극복할 수 있는 잠재력을 갖고 있음을 인 식하게 된다. 그들의 지역 사회에서 더욱 생산적인 존재가 될 수 있고, 그것은 모든 사람들에게 좋은 영향을 끼친다. 상황에 미리미리 대처하고 사고 방식을 전환하는 것은 경제적 성장에 도움이 될 뿐 아니라 더 많은 일자리를 창출하는데도 도움이 된다.

물론, 균형 잡힌 생활을 유지하는 것이 더 힘들 수도 있다 왜냐하면 기술 의 발전은 –이메일, 문자 메시지, 전화 통화 등을 통해- 사람들이 쉬는 시간까지도 방해하며 일할 수 있게 하기 때문이다. 하지만 균형을 추구하기 위한 혼신의 노력을 하는데 더욱 많은 이유들이 있다.

균형 잡힌 삶은 신화와도 같은 의미로 결코 달성할 수 없다고 주장하는 몇몇 서클들이 인기를 끌고 있다. 그러나 그들의 관점에도 불구하고, 많은 사람들은 자신의 삶의 균형을 위해 노력하고 있다.

균형을 유지하기 위해 건강하게 먹고, 스트레스를 피하기 위해서 충분한 수면이나 휴식을 취한다, 균형을 유지하기 위해서 매일의 일상적인 활동들을 이어 간다. 우리가 하는 어떤 것에서든 성공을 하기 위해서 우리는 어떤 종류로든 균형을 유지해야만 한다.

Create Spellbinding Hair this Halloween

It’s always an exciting time of the year when the leaves start to change colors. An eerie, yet exciting feeling creeps up on us whilst Halloween approaches. As candy corn and pumpkins fill the aisles, we contemplate over and over which costume we’ll wear this time around. If one thing is for certain, your tresses can either make or break whichever disguise you decide to wear. The most exciting thing about Halloween is having the freedom to style your hair ANY way you want—whether it’s a leap into the wild side or a curled perfection into your coronation.

A simple, yet great way to truly let your creative side show is by wearing a black, simple outfit and letting your hair and make up showcase your artistic skill as a cute or sexy animal—extra points if you’re daring enough to wear a leotard.

The Gold ’N Hot Ceramic Deep Waver will give you the perfect glamorous curls your sparkling princess crown deserves. The waver heats up to 450°F and can be adjusted to lower temperatures as well to suit any hair type. To ensure extra deep and defined waves, use firming spray before styling. Be sure to let waves cool before applying any type of tension to them.

Some women might opt for the mystical, mysterious and sleek look to complement their spy or superhero costumes. The Gold ’N Hot 2-1/4” Ceramic Straightening Iron is perfect to transform a thick, full head of hair into silky-smooth and shiny locks. The iron heats up to 450°F in 60 seconds, helping you get out the door quickly.

Notes From the

Natural Nation

by ReGia Davis

WHAT TIME IS IT? Holiday season is quickly approaching. October kicks it off with leaves falling, temperatures dropping, and kids getting ready to play dress up for Halloween. The shelves of stores are changing around this time of the year and certain products stand out more than usual. Also, in the month of October, pink ribbons and the color pink are sure to catch your eye, bringing attention to National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Granted, National Breast Cancer Awareness is not a holiday, but it is used as a month-long recognition of brave women.

You will find there are no limits to products that can be printed with the color pink or adorned with a pink ribbon. You will notice the color pink on everyday items such as hair and skincare product packaging, clothing, jewelry, bags, pens and even candy. In every store you visit, there will be products stamped with pink. Manufacturers repackage or reposition thousands of products every year to support cause-related marketing like Breast Cancer Awareness.

According to the site www.frompinktoprevention.org, cause-related marketing (CRM) is a marketing-style option which might appeal to companies wanting to gain market advantage, improve their market position, improve their standing with customers, or increase sales and profits by linking their products to a particular cause. Breast Cancer Awareness is a cause that provides the general public, as well as millions of

women and families affected by this devastating disease, with information and inspiration. The National Breast Cancer Foundation’s stated mission is: “Helping women now. Providing help and inspiring hope to those affected by breast cancer through early detection, education and support services.”

OTC owners display products with pink labels or pink ribbon logos to show they support cancer awareness and research. Many times, owners can expect to enjoy an increase in sales when partnering with companies that are committed to the cause. Now remember, just because a product doesn’t have a pink ribbon on the product doesn’t mean that the distributor does not support Breast Cancer Awareness and research.

As responsible store owners is it important to purchase products that celebrate and support the lives of women. Store owners who carry breast cancer-themed products are perceived to be socially aware and in favor of supporting cancer awareness and research. The pink ribbon signifies strength and is easily recognized as a promotion for breast cancer. Even if consumers are not familiar with the pink-themed products or pink ribbons, they stand out and encourage consumers to ask questions. Increase your sales this month by actively promoting the awareness of breast cancer, which affects many women and families around you in your own neighborhood, and perhaps your own family.

10 Accessory Must Haves For 2015’s Winter Wonderland

What’s more exciting than a winter wonderland? Wearing accessories in a winter wonderland!

It’s that time of the year again when layering up is a must. This year we’re doing it in style. There’s nothing like having perfect, fashionable accessories to polish off any look. Here are 10 of my winter wonderland accessory must haves: 1. Hair: Flowy curls or natural coils are the way to go this winter.

Remember, our hair is one of our best natural accessories. Keep your mane freshly tamed, colored and trendy to fit your own personal style. If you’re anything like me, the condition of my hair dictates the outfit of choice and mood. With colder weather, additional moisture is needed and fun colors can give the humdrum layers we’re forced to wear an added boost.

Store owners: be sure to keep your store shelves stocked with hair moisturizing products and fun hair dyes this season!

2. Hats: Hats go perfectly with the flowy curls.

How else will we keep our heads warm and our hair in place during those windy days? Hats do not necessarily have to match the jacket, gloves or anything else for that matter. Have fun with prints; wear different fabrics and shapes. Instead of a regular hat try adding a top hat, adding a little oomph. If you are into flowers, rock a hat with a large flower. If you’re into animals, rock an animal print hat. You get the drift. I’ve also found that crotchet hats happen to be super adorbable.

3. Gloves: Keep prints in mind when shopping.

Gloves are not just used to keep our hands and fingers warm anymore…they’re art! Grab a pair that can keep your fingers warm while waiting outside for the valet, yet convert to fingerless, keeping your hands warm indoors while fashionably plugging away at the keyboard. The great thing is our midi rings are exposed – super cute!

4. Scarves: Amazingly versatile.

Let me start by saying, of course scarves are worn around the neck and can be manipulated in many different ways and styles. Now here’s where the fun begins… use them as belts, head wraps, hair bandeaus or even as vests. A vest?! Imagine that! I know you are wondering how that’s even possible, but it is. The longer scarves can be used as such.

5. Clutches: There’s one for every occasion.

Give our arms a break from that heavy handbag. Clutches are a trendy, versatile way of carrying your personals. They come in a variety of sizes, styles, colors, materials, textures and add spunk to any outfit.

6. Rings: Layer ‘em up!

What can I say – they don’t have to be worn below the knuckles anymore. I guess you can say “they’ve come up.”

If gloves aren’t being worn, try a ring and bracelet combo. If gloves are being worn, midi rings are perfect. A little extra tip: turn those rings that no longer fit the traditional way into midis.

7. Watches: Candy time!

More than time telling devices, watches are now the ultimate bracelet. Bundle watches with bracelets and create charming eye candy. The chunkier the watch, the smaller the bracelets should be. Mix and match the bracelets – gold, silver and/or colored.

8. Blazers: Dress up casual looks.

Only for suits? Not anymore! Pair a blazer with denim or wear it merely as cover up instead of the typical sweater or cardigan. Try a floral blazer or one with some other print; it doesn’t have to be a solid color. A blazer is the perfect way to dress up the most casual outfit.

9. Bomber Jackets: Stay warm and fabulous.

Bomber jackets are the cutest, trendiest and most fashionable way to keep warm casually, professionally or dressed up. The array of colors they are available in make them the jacket of choice. Imagine walking into an all-white party or all black affairs rocking a stellar royal blue bomber jacket…trust me you’re turning heads. They are also available in other materials beside faux leather or leather.

10. Nail Polish: Add a pop of color.

With three out the 10 accessories mentioned bringing focus to our hands, it’s only right we keep our nails extremely pretty. It’s nail polish time! Let’s step outside of our comfort zones trying colors we normally wouldn’t. Our nails are a great way of adding a color pop. Steer clear of neon colors in the winter. Instead, go with darker colors like blue, burgundy and red (a classic).

By the way, gel polish is a great alternative to regular nail polish. It will withstand the harsh conditions of winter; once it’s on, it’s on. Don’t worry about the constant rubbing of lotion or the putting on and pulling off of gloves. It’s stuck on you!

Accessories add character. Let’s venture out of our comfort zones and enjoy this winter!

CLIPPER TIPS

Sponsored by Andis Co.

Holiday Gifts With the holidays approaching, the need to find the perfect gift for that special someone in the lives of your customers peaks. This also creates an opportunity for your salespeople to suggest to customers the perfect gift for their loved ones. Below are a few clipper-related gift suggestions that could help meet your customers’ needs, while helping your employees close the sale.

The trend for male grooming has grown from clean shaven chins to neatly trimmed goatees and various lengths of finely groomed beards. Modern male grooming in between visits to the barbershop includes electric shavers, clippers and trimmers to help maintain clean looks.

Suggestion #1 - Andis Profoil™ Li Shaver This shaver is for the man with a goatee or moustache that still desires a clean shaven face. It’s a lithium-ion powered rechargeable shaver with specially designed independent foils that create razor-close shaves without the razor burn. The perfect companion to the Andis Profoil Li Shaver would be Andis BumpCare, a liquid solution that helps eliminate bumps caused from ingrown hairs and soothe irritation from razor burn.

Suggestion #2 – Andis SuperLiner™ Trimmer with Shaver Attachment This trimmer is for the guy who is comfortable outlining his own facial hair and desires a close shave, too. The SuperLiner’s T-blade trimmer attachment will deliver clean, close and comfortable outlining. For those wanting a closer finish, the shaver attachment will shave the stubble down to baby-smooth skin. The Andis SuperLiner offers incredible value because it’s two tools in one!

Suggestion #3 – Andis T-Outliner® Trimmer This trimmer would be ideal for the man whose skin can’t take a razor-close shave or has a full beard and desires to keep his cheeks shaven.

The T-Outliner has been used by professionals and consumers alike for years to shave and outline facial hair. In fact, Steve Harvey recently shared with his viewers that he uses the T-Outliner to dry-shave his face and avoid bumps.

And the perfect companion for all of the suggested tools above would be Cool Care Plus® which offers the required blade care and maintenance for years of clean shaving.

During the holiday shopping season I would suggest your store employ one of these three ways to highlight the tools mentioned above: 1. Move these tools to highly visible locations 2. Make signage to highlight tools 3. Have a staff briefing to ensure these gift ideas are added to their sales pitch These suggested tools potentially solve the needs of your customers and will be great gifts. For more information about the tools mentioned above, visit andis.com.

THERAPY TRENDS

Extended Season and Expanded Reason The holiday season is celebrated by an increasing number of cultures and religions, both Christian and non-Christian.

Some celebrate the season for no reason at all. This year the holiday season will begin as early as Diwali in early November. Hanukkah follows in the first full week of December. Christmas and the Epiphany will be the focus until the beginning of January. Shopping for these occasion starts NOW! The one common theme, no matter the culture, is gifting, glitter and glamour. Holiday celebrations call for festivities and festivities call for holiday looks. Your customers want to look their best as they honor their beliefs.

Holiday brilliance for this year’s season will be

represented by metallic, pearly and twinkly designs. When it’s the holidays, sparkle will be welcomed in fashion, hair color, makeup and skin glitter. Each of the holiday cultures celebrates lights—whether candles or glittering makeup.

Every customer will celebrate the reason for the season in a varied and ornate tribute. The release of holiday themes and styles has become akin to the debut of clothing lines at NY Fashion Week. The industry as a whole waits with bated breath to see what looks designers are banking on to drive the festive marketplace. Silver and gold will make a resurgence for 2015, joined by bronze, copper and jeweled tones. Don’t forget the gifting of ornaments and jewel-lit hair accessories. Your customers will rejoice in the reverence of the holiday season and Santa by shopping early and often.

Embrace your #HASHTAG

First, follow me on instagram, @tonsorialtimes, and my #hashtag is #tonsorialtimes. Now, did you know that for decades the #hashtag symbol was more commonly referred to as the pound sign? In recent years, this seemingly ordinary symbol evolved into greater significance in our modern world, slowly but surely being dominated by social media. So, if you want to connect with over 160,000 barbers please follow a hashtag my partner John Dillard developed, #barbersinctv, and to view our page go to instagram @barbersinctv or @teamfyc

The growth and use of #hashtags has grown to such tremendous popularity that the use of this symbol has become associated or even synonymous to trends and discussions in social media. This provides a wonderful tool and opportunity for business owners and digital marketers to boost the strength and effectiveness of their social media marketing campaign. Question: As a beauty and barber supplier, do you have a social media marketing campaign strategy in place? What are the benefits?

Here are some social media platforms where you can find barbers and stylist to market your brand and products to:

Twitter, of course, is where hashtags became first used and where they are still very prevalent. They provide a remarkable tool for delivering highly targeted brand messages for brands and businesses using Twitter for social media marketing.

Facebook. It took a while for Facebook to catch on the hashtag craze, even after they incorporated its use back in June 2013. And of course you know Facebook owns Instagram so make sure you develop a robust Instagram page.

Pinterest is a fast-growing social network that has already joined the hashtag bandwagon. Make sure you get on board!

Education, Exhibits and Entertainment Abound at Legendary Bronner Bros. Show The 2015 Mid-Summer Bronner Bros. International Beauty Show was back in Atlanta and bigger than ever, August 15-17. Having outgrown the original floor space, the show was upgraded to a new, expanded location within the Georgia World Congress Center.

Boasting more than 22,000 attendees and 300 exhibitors there was plenty of excitement and learning to go around.

As usual, the three-day professional beauty industry event drew a crowd with featured professional educational courses, an impressive array of exhibitors, exclusive evening events, aweinspiring competitions and celebrity appearances. The event was opened only to licensed beauty industry professionals and

cosmetology students. It allowed visitors the opportunity to explore innovative solutions in the industry: product offerings, styling techniques and secrets of the trade.

The Bronner show experience is unlike any other. The nonstop energy of the show floor is electrifying as attendees explore the impressive array of varying company offerings in hair, skin care, barbering, nails, natural textures and more. There is no disputing that this impressive event, the largest multicultural/ multi-textural tradeshow in the U.S., will continue to grow even larger as the years pass.

Calling all hair, health, beauty brands, professionals and enthusiasts alike…

I’ve found a rising star! It’s the newest, hottest and coolest in health and beauty, the Ubiquitous Hair and Health Trade Show (UHHTS). Every year there are a plethora of beauty trade shows to peruse, especially within the natural hair movement for the multi-cultural woman. The UHHTS, “Where Relaxed Meets Natural Hair,” was held in late August in the heart of the nation’s capital, Washington, DC. A great summer destination trip for friends and family, this show brings a new energy and a new purpose to trade shows. It’s the one to watch!

I caught up with the brainchild of the show, Founder and Owner, Germaine Bolds-Leftridge and my first question was an obvious one: What is Ubiquitous, and how does it relate to your hair and health show?

“The Ubiquitous Woman is seemingly everywhere doing everything to maintain her spirituality, family, friends, career/business, while keeping her inner-self strong and moving forward for growth,” explained Leftridge. “Our show is based on and designed around those core tenants. Our goal is that every guest that enters the doors of the Ubiquitous Hair and Health Trade Show, Where Relaxed Meets Natural Hair, leaves inspired on her path to her own greatness.”

“This year as well as last year our sponsors, vendors and guests described the show as ‘AMAZING.’ I am honored that the show has gotten BIGGER in only one year, and I look forward to continuing to AMAZE and INSPIRE in 2016, and beyond” Germaine Bolds-Leftridge expounded.

The show launched in 2014, when Leftridge answered a calling to do something to make a more robust impact on women. The Ubiquitous Show is the Nation’s first and only trade show that speaks directly to the needs and wants of the woman who wears her hair either relaxed or natural.

JinnyInnovations

Memphis Feels Like Home The Jinny Memphis branch successfully thrives on a family culture Officially opened on May 19, 2014, the Memphis, Tenn. branch of Jinny Beauty Supply became the company’s 9th distribution center nationally. Over the past year and a half of existence this location has grown in friendship and comradery with the rural community, harboring a hometown family feel among employees and customers. “We strive to keep a good relationship with customers and to have a strong team among ourselves,” explained Jeff Cho, Branch Manager.

Implementing efficient programs to streamline customer satisfaction and trust, order efficiency and overall teamwork, this location is off to a great start!

Strategically, the geographical placement of this center is ideal on many accounts. For one, the market base for beauty supply distribution is prominent in this area as many small independent stores abound. There are at least 50 stores in the city of Memphis alone! Jinny saw this as a great opportunity and reached out to locations individually, gaining the support of the majority of these businesses.

Additionally, the city of Memphis is located at the border of three states: Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee. This is a great advantage as access to a larger market is easily achieved. Close range access to a wide array of customers also decreases delivery times and enables frequent personal visits with customer stores.

The procedure for servicing stores is also made efficient here. With a

minimum delivery order set at $1,000, smaller stores do not need to worry with the pressure of making a substantial purchase each time. Delivery employees are trained to transport products inside stores – not simply leave pallets at the door.

Simple acts of kindness like this are what set this Jinny location apart from the competition.

Accenting the kindness factor is the sampling process this warehouse implements. “Samples are given out to all customers. The warehouse creates mix and match boxes of varying items so customers can try different brands,” Cho explains. These combination sample boxes are included in each shipment, adding a little joy to the orders and boosting new item sales.

Jinny salesmen are constantly working to grow in product knowledge, and to pass that along to their fellow employees. One way this is achieved is through the labeling system on the warehouse shelves. Special tags are posted with each item that display product information, ensuring less mistakes and easy product education.

With a young and dynamic local employee base that is eager to learn about the industry, and strong ties that are strengthened by spending time together as a company family, this location is sure to continue growing in success and size over the years. By helping the surrounding community of Memphis and caring about the person behind the store, everyone feels like part of the family.

Jinny Corp.’s New “Idea Email Box” Program Gets Employees Involved Jinny Corp., the number one multicultural distributor in the world, is a company that is always trying to raise their standards to a higher level whenever possible, and they have recently made a new stride in this goal.

In mid-August the company implemented a new “Idea Email Box” Outlook program where employees can personally submit their ideas for the betterment of the workplace to upper management via email.

“This idea could be something about management issues, company core policies and even new product development ideas,” explained Eddie Jhin, President. Jhin also expressed how he wants to see Jinny Corp. employees get more involved in the business, and this is one way to show how everyone’s opinion matters.

Additionally, there is a reward implementation to this program; if the company applies an employee’s idea, they will be able to work toward that goal personally, and will be rewarded accordingly. This program is in place at all Jinny branches nationwide.

Introducing the Global Language of Styling EIMI by Wella Professionals #SpeakEIMI Today, we are all self-branders, curating and editing our profiles on and offline. Thanks to technology, the globe has gotten smaller. The diverse cultures, styles, ages and genders inspire and influence us all. From afro to retro, naturalists to extremists, individuality is the first word in styling.

No longer are we tied to certain hair lengths, textures or color because selfexpression is the ultimate anti-trend. What we wear and how we style our hair conveys a message about who we are: it’s an individual message that transcends the spoken word.

Launched in September 2015, the new EIMI styling brand by Wella Professionals invites you to celebrate and share your style through a global language of individuality. Whether you want untamed texture, dazzling shine, a volume boost or a smooth and sleek finish, with EIMI the possibilities are endless!

SAY STYLE. SPEAK EIMI. EIMI (pronounced ‘eye-me’) is inspired by the Ancient Greek phrase “EGO EIMI,” meaning ‘I am’ and speaks to confident and expressive individuals who want to stand out from the crowd. Each day we are inspired by the diversity around us, which shapes our unique identity.

EIMI is the thread that connects us all and allows us to speak the same language, no matter where we are in the world. The multi-faceted, multiperformance nature of the new EIMI styling range is designed to work together for endless styling opportunities, helping you to develop and express whatever hairstyle you envision.

Wella Professionals Styling Ambassador, Andy LeCompte commented, “EIMI has all of the styling essentials I need to unleash each client’s personality and achieve the hairstyle that best expresses who they are. Hair is an extension of who you are and it’s my job to help people make that connection. I definitely consider myself an EIMI person – I AM eclectic, artistic, dynamic and always willing to make a statement with my style.”

TRY ME. I’M EIMI. The collection is easy to navigate and can be customized for specific hair needs so you can express your individual sense of style, not only through hair color and cut from your stylist, but also when styling at home. The

IndustryNews Sunshine, Smog and Stress: RoC® Skincare Reveals the Most Wrinkle-Prone States in America Second Annual Wrinkle Ranking Reveals the Underlying Factors that Contribute to Aging Skin

In a continued effort to help consumers better understand aging skin, RoC® Skincare, an anti-aging pioneer, has partnered with independent research firm, Sperling’s Best Places, to release the second annual Wrinkle Ranking. The 2015 RoC® Wrinkle Ranking determines the U.S. states where the residents’ skin are most at risk from damage caused by lifestyle, occupational and environment factors. While last year’s study highlighted the 50 most wrinkle-prone cities, the 2015 ranking transcends city limits – determining a given populations’ propensity for wrinkles based off the state in which they reside.

According to New York City-based board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Debra Jaliman, MD, FAAD, “Residents of every state have their share of positive and negative skin health factors so the exact cause of wrinkles can vary. However, there are several factors that can increase the rate at which skin ages, including high levels of stress, dangerous exposure to pollution and UVA/UBA radiation.”

To determine those U.S. states with conditions most hazardous to skin, RoC® and Sperling performed a state-by-state assessment to analyze influences that may increase or decrease ones proclivity for wrinkles. The analysis included factors commonly known to cause skin damage such as UV exposure, as well as other factors such as geographic elevation, daily commute times, stress levels and ozone pollution. Each state was awarded a “Wrinkle Index” which is a measure of each state’s vulnerability to skin damage and premature aging.

Consumers can use the Wrinkle Ranking findings to understand what might be causing their skin to age, and take the necessary steps to mitigate future risk: • Step 1: Familiarize yourself with the RoC® Wrinkle Ranking, and learn more about the critical factors that contribute to your state’s rank.

• Step 2: Adopt practices and products that can help reduce and eliminate fine lines and wrinkles.

While investigating which factors had the most impact on a state’s ranking, the study results showed: • The “Big Apple” is Stressed at its Core: New York (Ranked #1) reports very high scores for being “dissatisfied with life” and “lacking emotional support,” and has the second-longest commute times.

• Battling Beltway Influences: The District of Columbia ranks in the middle of the list (Ranked #23). Washington, D.C. has the lowest rate of skin cancer, but this is offset by high scores for ozone pollution, lengthy commute, long work week and binge drinking.

• All That Sunshine is Serving Them Well: States such Hawaii (Ranked #47), Mississippi (Ranked #31), and Louisiana (Ranked #29), while considered to the sunniest states, actually have the lowest rates of skin cancer and averted being ranked in the top 25 most prone wrinkle states.

• High Health Alert South of the Mason-Dixon: Southern states such as West Virginia (Ranked #3), Tennessee (Ranked #8) and Kentucky (Ranked #7) ranked in the top 10 due to their generally poor diet and high percentage of smokers.

About the RoC® Skincare Wrinkle Ranking: To determine the states where residents’ skin are most at risk from damage by their lifestyle and environment, RoC® Skincare and Sperling’s Best Places performed a meta-analysis, which combines the findings of original research with existing related research in the field of the study. Lifestyle, occupational and environmental criteria that directly and indirectly relate to skin damage were used, and factors were weighted by relevancy to skin damage risk. All data was adjusted by the current population to arrive at “per capita” figures, providing an accurate comparison between states of varying sizes. Each state in the study received points for each of the criteria based on their relation to the other state’s scores in that data category, and Category scores were weighted and aggregated to determine an overall “Wrinkle Index” score to rank the U.S. states.

About RoC® Skincare: RoC® Skincare has been a leading French skincare brand for more than 50 years, devoted to developing anti-aging products that guarantee visible and lasting results for healthier, younger-looking skin. Considered a pioneer in visibly reducing the appearance of wrinkles, the brand was the first to stabilize and patent pure retinol in a cosmetic product and has continued to improve its aesthetics, tolerance and efficacy over the past 25 years.

Selected by TSE leaders, the award represents the largest shows and most inspirational thinkers in the exhibition industry.

Organized by North American Beauty Events, LLC, Cosmoprof North America has been hailed as a pioneer among beauty industry professionals and trade show peers. Its 2014 event welcomed more than 27,000 attendees alongside 946 exhibitors from 40 countries, all hosted in a 217,195 square foot space at Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas.

CPNA leads the trade beauty industry by combining B2B networking and industry education with social marketing initiatives and new technologies. In 2014, the show introduced its first-ever interactive multi-media exhibit sponsored by The New Agency. As part of the exhibit, brands used various analysis tools within a Digital Discovery Tool Booth to evaluate the impact of their online presence.

Experts from top social marketing companies were on-hand to provide engagement tactics and digital navigation insight for long-term improvement and growth strategies.

“Cosmoprof North America is consistently a standout show that blazes the trail for invention and creativity in the world of beauty,” said Eric Horn, CPNA’s Trade Show Director. Horn has two decades

Daniela Ciocan, CPNA’s Marketing Director for the past 10 years, conceptualized the new areas and partnerships. The 2015 event also debuted Beauty Pitch in partnership with the Professional Beauty Association’s (PBA) Beauty Week; five brands were handpicked by CPNA and PBA executives to live pitch their products to renowned entrepreneurs Mark Cuban and John Paul DeJoria for an opportunity to win a one-year mentorship from Cuban and a $10,000 donation from TSG Consumer Partners in collaboration with CircleUp.

“The Cosmoprof North America team is humbled and proud to receive a TSE Gold 100 Award alongside the most prestigious trade shows in the world,” said Ciocan. “We are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of our show each year through progressive concepts and look forward to exceeding the expectations that come with this esteemed honor.”

Biography: Joe Ryan, Creative Director for Kayline by Wahl Creator of the New Hideaway Cart has Designed a Life Built on Functional, Beautiful Creativity “It’s super neat to get to reinvent Kayline; especially for my hometown company Wahl Clipper,” Joe Ryan said.

Ryan’s first experience with design occurred in his father’s machine shop. The tool and die maker’s motto was “nothing’s impossible.”

As a young teen Joe could read blueprints, run a lathe and do set-ups on a milling machine. He built his first motorcycle out of three crates of old parts and progressed from there. “I worried my mom when I outfitted the go-cart with a snowmobile engine,” Ryan said with a laugh. “She made dad sell it before it was complete.”

After graduating from the University of Illinois at Chicago with a degree in Industrial Design, Ryan designed bicycles and set up a manufacturing facility for the Chicago Bicycle Company. As an independent artisan he produced mixed media furniture, boutique lighting and architectural installations before moving into a design engineer position at Ready Metal Manufacturing, a store fixture company.

OTC Beauty Magazine October 2015

“That’s where I really learned the stuff,” he said.

“My boss would feed me bar napkins full of sketches explaining how sheet metal worked in the real world.”

In the web crazed ‘90s, the versatile Ryan created a virtual tour and Internet consulting business. After the tech crash, he joined the boutique store fixture company OK Works of Chicago. Post-recession Ryan joined Veeco Manufacturing, reviving the old brand with an onslaught of new products, corporate rebranding campaign and SEO driven website.

Ryan connected with Kayline in May 2014, and is excited about designing products that are trendy, fashionable and stylish for the salon professional community. “I started as an artisan working in wood, metal, steel and glass, and pricing for my designs was pretty costly,” says Ryan. “I’m excited about the opportunity to create products at a range of price points.

Now, more people can enjoy good design without having to pay a ton of money.” www.kaylinebeauty.com

Are your Customers’ Skin Care Regimens Ready for Winter?

Clear Essence Offers Tips to Help them Prepare

by Ayanna Ziegler How to beat dryness: • Use lotions such as the Skin Beautifying Milk Maxi-Tone; it can relieve dryness and flaking. Alternatively, add Clear Essence Skin Beautifying Body Oil to bath water to help seal in moisture. Also popular is the Clear Essence Specialist Skin Care Body Oil and both oils, which can be applied directly to the skin. You can also recommend products in our Anti-Aging Line with alpha hydroxy acids, which gently exfoliate to remove dead skin cells, allowing more water and moisture into healthy skin.

• Avoid antibacterial and deodorant soaps, which can be harsh and drying.

Instead, use a gentle cleanser, such as Clear Essence Olive Oil soap or Carrot Oil soap.

• Advise those suffering from dryness not to take extremely hot baths or showers. Do not soak in the tub for more than 10 minutes. Doing so breaks down your skin’s natural protective oils, which keep it soft and smooth.

• Use a humidifier during the winter. Central heating and space heaters can dry out the air in your home.

• Choose natural, breathable fabrics such as cotton and silk for bedding and the innermost layer of clothing.

• Drink plenty of water and other liquids to keep skin hydrated from the inside out. Omega-3s (essential fatty acids found in foods such as salmon, walnuts, flaxseed, soybeans and broccoli) can also help keep skin supple.

When should one worry?

Recommend seeing a dermatologist if dryness and itching keep one awake at night, if Clear Essence Skincare lotions aren’t working, if one has open sores or large areas of scaling or peeling skin, or if an infection develops from scratching. There could be a more serious condition underlying such as eczema, psoriasis or another skin disorder.

Did you know?

• Although everyone’s skin changes with age, a man’s skin tends to stay moist longer. That’s because a woman’s skin becomes much drier after menopause.

• The best time to apply Clear Essence Skin Beautifying Milk is immediately after a shower or bath, when skin is still damp.

• Since dry skin is extra-sensitive, it is important to protect it from the sun, especially if it is snowing (snow can reflect as much as 80 percent of the sun’s rays). Apply Skin Beautifying Milk with SPF 15 or My Natural Beauty Skin Tone Moisturizing Body Lotion with SPF 15 every day to the face, neck and ears.
