HAIRLINES COLOUR

Lights Down Low Knowing the best ways to incorporate lowlights can give your clients a colour boost while restoring that radient appeal.

With the ombré trend (and its variations) continuing throughout spring and straight into summer, many of your clients will continue requesting highlights. But in order to create that natural look, one that’s complementary to your clients, you’ll need to combine lowlights, which are created when a darker colour is deposited on the hair. Here’s how two of the industry’s colour experts, Wella Professionals’ Jean-Sébastien Tremblay and Joico’s Sue Pemberton, breakdown the how, when and why of this often-overlooked colour technique.

CLIENT TYPE According to Tremblay, “Lowlights are the best service to bring back a balance of dark and light, depth and movement to the hair.” Lowlights can be used on any hair colour, but Pemberton says that it’s a preferred colour service for clients who like having darker pieces than their current hair colour. “I would suggest depositing darker colours in sections for any client who would like depth and dimension,” says Pemberton, adding that blondes in particular, can achieve a softer, more natural colour with lowlights.

The SpaRitual Handprint Hand Serum hydrates and helps improve skin tone and texture with ginger root and pumpkin fruit extracts and licorice root.

Your clients come to you, their nail professional, to make sure that their nails are healthy and their manicures are pristine.

But having healthy hands goes beyond buffing and filing.

Pink explains that SpaRitual was founded with the mentality that nail artists and technicians are “on the first line to being exposed to products because they’re using them so much and can affect their health, so I wanted to develop a product that was healthy for them in a professional market.”

Using the SpaRitual Unveil Peel-Off Basecoat to make removing stubborn sparkly polishes much easier, without damaging the nail.

Do your research When searching for a brand to use in your salon,

understanding what each of the ingredients and products does is important because, as Pink explains, “If you’re using a healthier product, you’ll educate your client on it as well.”

Straight to the Top How did some of the industry’s lead nail artists get to the top of their game?

We’ve tapped the pros to find out.

Becoming the top of your class is no easy feat. Everyone has to start at the beginning, and that goes for Alisha Botero, executive vice-president and creative director for Artistic Nail Design, and Rita Remark, lead nail

Take every experience as inspiration Whether you have just started your journey in the nail industry or have been working the tips for a few years now, both pros agree that each and every job is a learning point in your career. As Botero explains, “I may have had my hands in almost every role available in this industry, from nail technician to distributor sales rep, international platform artist/ trainer to product developer.” Each gig has brought her to where she is now, creating each and every Artistic Nail Design colour, while she contemplates upcoming trends. Remark, on the other hand, has made sure even her pre-manicure life was a learning experience, including her very first job on a farm, which “taught the definition of hard work.” taught [her] to work as a team,” which is one of the most important attributes in this industry.

hether you are a new hairstylist or have recently moved to a new city, finding the right salon can be a tricky situation. “You need to know what you want from

education, editorials, photo shoots or giving back to the community,” says Robert Barbosa, owner of Toronto’s Salon Escape. Before you land that interview, we culled together the best-kept secrets from salon owners across the nation that will help you to land (and keep) your dream job.

Matters of experience “In those first few years, you’ll probably be doing things you don’t like including cleaning the salon. Yet this is also the time where you’ll be building your client base, and once you do, you’ll eliminate those other tasks.”—Mireille Cormier, Eccentric Hair Studio, Moncton, N.B. “We try to build the assistants we have with us. After two years, we’ll give them a time frame, have them invite friends and family in for services and take time to coach them. We also have Wacky Wednesdays, where we book most of the clients with junior stylists but the catch is that the client

When I was 18 years old, I worked in a salon in France sweeping floors. I had been there a few weeks and was tired of sweeping because that’s not what I came to the salon to do and I was told, once I had perfected the task of sweeping and was the best I could be at it, only then would I move on to hair; that type of discipline applies to every area of your life.

— Stephan W., Montreal

has no say in terms of the style or cut. By doing this, we help the hairstylists build their portfolio, and create different looks and it forces more junior stylists to consider different ideas for haircuts, and delve into those ideas.”

—Stephan W., Montreal

Transferable skills “Creativity is important, yet you need to be able to fit into a structured salon environment, it’s a fair environment, but fitting into it by being flexible is key.”—Stephan W., Montreal “Being well spoken; which means you can speak clearly and concisely.

And you also have to be confident. No matter what your experience, you need to believe in your abilities”—Michael Levine, owner of A Michael Levine Salon Group, Vancouver

“Especially in the beginning, nobody likes a know-it-all. As hairstylists, we must continue to learn until the day we are no longer stylists. It’s important to have a positive attitude so that you can absorb information and deal with clients.”

—Robert Barbosa, Salon Escape, Toronto

Keep It Simple “The younger you are, the more you want to show, but sometimes you don’t need to have a lot of technique in there, you should focus each look specifically on what you want someone to see.”—Stephan W., Montreal “Clean work, not the crazy stuff. Sensible work. I want to see that you’re capable, which means you must also be able to show that you can finish a cut beautifully.”

—Michael Levine, owner of A Michael Levine Salon Group, Vancouver “Showing education is the key. Images of blowouts, styling and colouring will give someone a feel for what level you are at. It’s good to be eager, but you must focus on where you want to be without being scattered.”—Robert Barbosa, Salon Escape, Toronto

Be open to opportunity “Every manufacturer has a contest, so when stylists decide to enter, there’s really an opportunity to perform.

This is also a great way to be inspired by mentors.“ —Stephan W., Montreal “We give prospective hairstylists a trial day and see what they will do when they're not given any direction. We like to back off and see if people are self-starters. If you find things to do when there’s nothing to do, that’s key.”

—Michael Levine, A Michael Levine, A Michael Levine Salon Group, Vancouver

Attitude Shift “Discipline. There are two parts in our job: the technical part, and the part about showing up and early being well-dressed and prepared to work hard. You need to show that you’re willing to go the next step by showing interest, whether you want to do cutting or colouring. It all comes down to discipline.”—Stephan W., Montreal “There’s so much competition out there, you need be a go-getter to stand out above the rest. You have to go above and beyond which may mean working late nights and always means putting the client first.”—Mireille Cormier, Eccentric Hair Studio, Moncton N.B. salonmagazine.ca

moulding in the hair, where the volume was at the top, with length at the back.” To achieve this, she looked to different ways to secure the style, using bobby pins to help create the shape and a crimping tool to create that dimension and texture in the hair itself.

Reaching to runway shows for inspiration, like the 1998 Alexander McQueen show, which incorporated both length and texture, Friesen explains, “my look developed from there.”

Multi-Generational Managment Yes, it’s true: Baby boomers, Gen-Xers and Millennials are motivated differently—after all, they are from different generations.

But that doesn’t mean they can’t all work together in harmony.

while millennials can bring more current influences. It’s very easy for employees to become confrontational when there is too much focus on generational differences.

Working together on creative projects, helps overcome differences and encourage a more harmonious environment.

The dreaded discipline It’s a fact: Younger employees who grew up with the Internet and probably saw their parents work remotely want a very flexible schedule. “I give them time slots and they can pick from those, but they have to stick to that schedule once they choose it. I’m a little bit more flexible if employees are working on TV shows or something related to the business outside the salon, but they still need to be accountable,” says Pacitto. You need control if you want to manage your salon successfully.

And, in the end, if your stylists don’t do their hours, they won’t see their pay cheques increase.

Back to School Goldwell and KMS’s new Academy is your go-to learning destination for brushing up on your skills at every level.

By Ashley Kowalewski

C

ontinuing education is an important aspect of every hairstylist’s journey, and having a state-of-the-art academy to attend is just what stylists will get at the new Goldwell/ KMS Academy Toronto, which is bigger and better than ever. Kathy Reilly, national

education manager for Kao Canada Inc., explains that when they had the opportunity to combine the brand’s headquarters and create a new 10,000-square-foot space specifically for education, they jumped at the chance.

When moving this academy from the old location down the road, Reilly explained the inspiration for the design was all about comfort:“We wanted stylists to feel comfortable and inspired to learn, not come into a very clinical classroom environment.” When creating the design, they implemented the “80-20 rule,” with “80 per cent global standard and 20 per cent local implementation and adaptation,” and added a“Canadian touch” with elements like a feature fireplace in the lounge and café area while maintaining a bright and open concept. Materials like Nuvacor and porcelain tile were part of this global standardization (much like the curriculum and programs available), making surfaces easy to clean and withstand staining from the Goldwell colour products.

The facility offers 66 programs that are rotated throughout the year, ranging from cutting and styling with KMS California products to getting a “PhD in Goldwell hair colour,” along with business building, and seminars with guest artists like Nick Arrojo, and for the Color Zoom competition. The academy houses three classrooms that are used for both the theory and hands-on programs and boast smart technology systems and movable stylist stations, allowing the rooms to be transformed for events, photo shoots and presentations.
