ooking back on this year in the salon industry, I feel like the product gods have been pretty generous with all of us! There have been serious, new moneymaking services that couldn’t come at a better time. Some of them are services that salons have never fully exploited, but new technologies are making it easier. One of those would certainly be hair extensions. Long thought of as expensive and time-consuming for both client and stylist, new methods of attachment mean less time in the chair, happy clients and more money in your pocket. And don’t forget nails, nails, nails—so big, they deserve three mentions—plus, those fab faux eyelashes and the overwhelmingly popular smoothing systems. Clients are demanding them, and it’s your opportunity to add these services to your menu and boost that bottom line. It can all add up to serious revenue for the salon. However, one thing I've gathered about most of these services is you must be well -trained and practised to execute them correctly and achieve the results the clients are demanding. If you haven’t made the commitment and invested in the training, it shows. Spend the time to do the service correctly, paying attention to details. If you don’t, it gives you, the products and the industry a bad name. In this issue, we also pay tribute to an industry legend, our dear friend and a writer for Salon for 11 years, John Steinberg. By the way, John’s was probably one of the first salons to do hair extension services at his infamous Rainbow Room back in the 1980s. No wonder we loved the guy! He certainly could spot a moneymaking trend early on. All of us here at Salon wish you a healthy, happy and prosperous holiday season!

They can be used alone or layered together for different effects, and each has a different, complementary scent. Hot shots: Shape, a texture crĂ¨me with a semi-matte finish, and Foundation, a hair prep and primer.

ntercosmo has introduced 14 new styling products from Italy. Estro offers products in three different colour-coded categories for different styles. Green designates natural, simple style, white denotes glamour and seduction, while red offers creativity and ingenuity. Hot shots: Casanova, a brilliant paste, Domino, an anti-frizz fluid, and Scirocco, a pre-brushing lotion.

Get the Look: Vintage Glam

rep for party season with a couple of solid styles under your belt and you’ll keep your clients happy. For updos, think sculpted instead of slick. UNITE stylist Amber Nichols—also the creative director and director of education for Ken Paves’ West Hollywood salon— created a winner with her vintage Hollywood look. Here’s how she did it.

“Making a woman feel beautiful is really one of the greatest gifts. For the holidays, this is the perfect style to let a woman shine as an understated, classic beauty.” –Amber Nichols, Unite stylist

1. Wash and condition hair with Unite Smoothing Shampoo and Conditioner. Apply Unite Smoothing Deep Treatment and let sit for 20 minutes. Rinse, dry and apply Unite 7Seconds Conditioner.

2. Apply Unite Session Whip from the mid shaft to the end, then blow-dry with a round brush.

3. Set each section, wrapping softly around the fingers and clipping in place.

4. After the finger curls are set, mist with Unite GO365 on light to set and 5. Figure-8 curl each section to ensure depth in waves. When cooled, remove clips.

6. Softly brush through the hair and break up any section lines. 7. Create three graduated bob-like sections (from occipital to behind the ears) and backcomb from roots to ends.

8. Roll sections under from ends to base. Lock by pinning in an X with large pins. This also creates a cushion to pin into.

9. Begin dressing hair, bringing sections back and pinning. Let the movement you put in live, so pull softly to place.

10. Secure with hairpins and use a Marcel to enhance waves. Mist with Unite Tricky Lite and finish with Unite G0365 on strong hold.

prep for the curling iron.

Quantum stylers get hair moving Quantum has launched two new stylers, Texturizer and Wave Maker. The Texturizer is a flexible defining paste that is lightweight and delivers natural shine and pliability with a medium firm hold. Wave Maker is an alcohol-free, curl-defining gel that revitalizes hair as it creates flexible texture, soft control and natural movement and shine.

They retain clientele. According to Rada Ferzanovich-Constantinou, the operations manager for the Natural Solutions/L’attitudes chain of salons across Ontario, “Many owners feel that because salon coordinators do not physically perform the services in the salon, they are not generating revenue, but this is totally backward. They are actually the ones who grow and retain the clientele. To be a bustling salon these days, you can’t rely on walk-in services. Your core business is repeat clients and referrals.” TRAINING TIP: Pre-book the next appointment at

check-in. Make confirmation calls the day before. “Thank you” calls made a week after a service can encourage returns, too.

Front Focus

epeat clients are the bread and butter of your business. And guess which employee has the power to retain them, essentially feeding your salon’s growth? Not your stylist, not your estheticians and not even you: it’s your receptionist. A client survey conducted by Crystal Focus, a Redken-affiliated salon education company, found that only 15 per cent of clients consider the actual service (whether it be a haircut or manicure) to be the main reason why they return. The other 85 per cent of customers stated that their reasons for returning to a salon are related to things such as professionalism, friendliness, cleanliness and engaging communication—all fundamental qualities of a front desk staffer. Salon coordinators, as they are now called, are expected to sell retail and service packages, stretch services, draw in new clients and maintain existing ones. “The front desk is a vital source of revenue because much of the business is generated there,” says Bryan Durocher, author of Front Line Service Mastery and a salon and business coach. “They are the first people who clients see when they come in and the last people they see when they leave, so how clients feel about your business is very dependent on the front desk staff. If sales have been down lately, consider the following reasons why having a well-trained salon coordinator (or team, depending on the size of your business) is critically important to your bottom line.

s a l o n > november+december 11

They build “salon” clients. Never underestimate the power of a receptionist referral. “When a busy stylist leaves your salon, he or she often takes his or her clients with them, causing a huge headache for you. But if you spend time encouraging your desk staff to build professional relationships with regular clients, it builds trust, and the client will feel comfortable with the front desk’s recommendation for an alternative stylist,” says Ferzanovich-Constantinou. TRAINING TIP: Make it a golden rule that the salon coordinator is the only one allowed to take down clients’ phone numbers.

They keep you booked. Scheduling appointments properly is as much a skill and talent as cutting hair. A salon coordinator who knows your staff well can maximize your income potential by booking services closely together. “Seventy-five per cent of the time,a caller will take the timeslot we offer them, so do not leave gaps between appointment times. Four 15-minute gaps between appointments in a day is an hour lost,” says Durocher. TRAINING TIP: Offer the least busy days and times first

to callers.

They make you money. The front desk can be a hub of productivity during downtime, as long as there is a system in place. Kristi Valenzuela of Crystal Focus Salon Coaching, suggests that owners enforce a mandatory to-do list that is designed to generate income, first and foremost. “Start with tasks that can make money in the present: offer additional services to clients who are already there (tell them about promotions), give salon tours to clients and make confirmation calls for the following day. Next, do things that will make money in the future: learn about a new product or service, stock retail shelves and make thank you calls.”

secret came out and the service has become more mainstream,” says Renae Marrett, a hairstylist at The Cabinet Salon in Toronto who uses Euro Naturals. “People who have thin hair didn’t realize it was an option. You can just use half bonds to add volume. It’s not always a length thing.” Clip-on pieces and quicker alternatives to strand-by-strand applications are in big demand. You can use them on brides to create added fullness to updos. And it’s a great substitute as a colour option. “If the client’s hair is dark and you can’t lift the colour to put in a nice hot pink

ver since celebrities like Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson came out of their “extension-wearing” closets, saying ‘"What? Yeah, I wear extensions. You can buy my brand," the category has exploded. The market for extensions has evolved from clients who want long, bombshell hair to clients looking for increased fullness— or fun accents—regardless of hair length—with wefts of colour, shimmering tinsel and, now, feathers. “When people started to realize what was really going on in Hollywood, the

panel, I can just put some extensions in,” says Marrett. According to Dee Gauthier, a Great Lengths educator, the Great Lengths Fast Tracks is perfect for this option. “They come in all those punk colours and you can just pop them in. It’s the same beautiful hair, but it’s attached to a strip of double-sided tape. And it takes less than 15 minutes to teach stylists how to use them.” Cam Toutounghi from ER Extensions, makers of the new EZ Fusion pre-folded tape extensions, says that the new types of extensions are filling a niche for mass salon appeal. “Most salon owners did not want to invest in lengthy courses or spend several hours of their time installing extensions,“ Toutounghi says. “Some stylists also shied away from methods using fusion adhesives and heating elements for fear of damaging their client’s hair.” Both of those problems are solved with the new, easier application methods. Tinsel and feather extensions are also getting a lot of attention. Steven Tyler rocked feathers on American Idol, launching them into popularity. Trina Marr, a Calgary-based stylist and Canadian manager of

Hair Flairs—which specializes in hair extension tinsels and feathers—says that business is booming. “We’re selling $3,000 to $5,000 worth of feathers to a Toronto salon a week. My business partner sells up to $10,000 a week to a lady in New Jersey,” says Marr. As for the tinsel, which adds a subtle shimmer to the hair, Marr says, “For a $10 investment in the tinsel flairs, you can make up to $200. Nothing in our industry allows you that markup.” To get your clients sold on the funky accents, Marr says to put them in your receptionists’ and your assistants’ hair. “I’ve been doing micro braids and attaching the feathers down the sides of the hair so that it looks like earrings,” says Marr. “I’m charging $50 to $75 for this at my salon in Calgary and it takes me all of seven minutes to do it—while my assistant is shampooing my next client.” And Gauthier says the education has changed, making it easier to learn and understand. “The courses have evolved to provide very detailed information. As an educator, I pack every detail and tip in. The methods haven’t changed, but it has gotten easier and there are so many more options.” S

To get your clients sold on the funky little accents, Marr says to put them in your receptionists’ and your assistants’ hair.

North America's First Extension Bar The very first hair extension bar in North America, Doll Bar, recently opened in Toronto, partly in response to the increased demand for extensions. Owner Melissa McKenzie, who uses SO.CAP extensions exclusively, has plans to expand with locations throughout Canada and the United States. “It’s not about having Victoria Secret hair all the time; it’s about having a healthy mane,” says McKenzie. “Girls are getting clip-on bangs. There’s a trend of getting pieces that are accessories for the hair without the commitment.” As if to illustrate her point, while talking with McKenzie at Doll Bar, at least two clients came in for feathers and within seconds walked out with them in their hair. “We were at a Toronto International Film Festival event and everyone wanted feather extensions for that added flair for parties they were attending,” she says.

Holiday Hair

’Tis the season of casual, polished looks for party ‘dos By Noelle Stapinsky

Kim Kardashian wears her long hair back in a loose textured updo.

Blake Lively goes bohemian chic with a piecey half up, half down ’do.

s a l o n > november+december 11

he hottest trend for hair this holiday season is going to be half up, something casual, polished, yet with a bit of tousled texture to keep it natural looking,” says Tim Kuo, of Markus J. Hair in Vancouver. Kim Kardashian and Blake Lively are both youthful trendsetters in both hair and fashion. Like a lot of young celebrities are wearing right now, the style is not going to be too tight around the face or too constructed. It’s going to be loosely pulled back with soft flowing curls. To achieve this, Kuo suggests using a big barrelled curling iron—depending on hair length—prepped with a flexible hair spray. Curl only up to the hair's mid-shaft. Then, break up the curls using a static-free brush or your fingers and apply some serum. “You can sweep it to one side for a flowing side pony tail look or clip up two sides for a soft and elegant, halfup look,” says Kuo. Simon Chercuitte, artistic director at Salon La Coupe, Montreal, and NAHA contemporary classic artist of the year winner, agrees. “Looking at hair on the fashion runways and what celebrities are wearing, we’re still going to see big, wavy hair. The beachy wave style will continue, but it will be a bit curlier. Just looking out of the window of the salon, all I see is long hair.” Let’s not forget the influence of fashionista royalty with Kate Middleton and the half-up/half-down chignon she wore for her widely broadcasted—and drooled over—royal wedding. So this season, relax and get cozy with your curling irons and flexible finishing sprays. And don’t forget to thank socialite bombshells and newbie royalty for not having to hand out Advil for bobby pin headaches. S

Colour Picks ➺ Rich reds ➺ Juicy berries ➺ Dark metallics like gun-metal grey ➺ Gold metallic

Forget purses, shoes and jewellery—nails are the must-have complement for holiday party dresses By Melissa Hill

s a l o n > november+december 11

ear that phone ringing off the hook? It’s not just cuts and colours your clients are calling to book. This season, it’s all about the nails. “In 17 years, I’ve never seen the industry this hot,” says Leanne Colley, owner of Toronto’s Tips Nail Bar. “It’s crazy. I look back at last year, the same weekend, and compare it to this weekend, and we have two more full-time staff and everyone is booked solid.” One of the biggest drivers behind the new focus on nails is the proliferation of the gel-polish fusions, which started with the launches of OPI’s Axxium and CND’s Shellac.

Colley estimates that about 80 per cent of her natural nail clients are adding a gel-polish fusion to their manicures because of the longevity of the service.

In & Out While tacky nail art or boring Plain Jane neutrals are out, subtle nail fashion is 100 per cent in. If a client insists on a whole hands’ worth of nail art, Emily Lee, owner of Queen Bee in New Westminster, B.C., and a 2011 Contessa finalist for Nail Enhancement Artist, tries to dissuade them, recommending that they keep it to one or two nails only, like the thumb and ring finger.

rising,” says Lee. Even some of her clients that stick with the traditional French manicure have been talked into replacing the white tip with a bolder colour. “During the playoffs, we had a lot of Canuck colours and nail art,” she says. It’s an exciting change for the nail market, according to Colley. “We’ve gone from years and years of French manicures to bold colours, ombre fades and accent nails. As long as you are keeping it wearable, I think anyone can get into it.”

Dos and Don’ts of Holiday Nails Do try contrasting shades. Leanne Colley, owner of Tips Nail Bar in Toronto, is a fan of the two-tone moon manicure, with a half moon at the tip or by the cuticle. She likes a nudecoloured nail with a black or navy moon.

runways created by CND. While the new pointy, elongated oval may not be practical for everyday life, she suggests clients trying something more dramatic for parties and events.

Don’t be afraid of sparkle. “We’re seeing lots of glitter in a way that is grown-up,” says Colley. “It’s just a touch of glitter over colour.”

Do play with colour mixes. Mix gel shades to create a completely new one. Try custom mixing shades for your clients— they’ll love the extra effort. Or for gel-polish fusions, layer one shade over another.

Do a glitter fade. Start with a rich red gel-polish fusion as a base. Once it is cured, use just a tiny bit of gold glitter polish and sweep it lightly from the tip, fading as you get closer to the base.

Don’t forget to take care of your own nails. “If you wear it, your clients will ask for it,” says Laviolette. “Experiment in your free time and if you wear it, you will attract the type of client who wants to wear it.”

Don’t stick to round or square. Claudine Laviolette, owner of Ongles & Compagnie in Gatineau, Que., has been experimenting with different shapes using acrylics, specifically one seen on the

Do remember the toes. Gelpolish fusions are great for pedicures, especially during the winter when clients can immediately slide boots back on and go with no worries about smudging.

Nails 101 Light-Cured Gels Lasting longer and more durable than the new gel-polish fusions, these traditional gels cure quickly under UV light and can last up to three weeks. They enhance the strength of the nails. The downside? They must be filed off for removal.

Gel-Polish Fusions While not as durable as traditional gels, the new fusion polishes are often applied like a regular polish, then cured with UV or LED lights in 30 seconds to two minutes. The polish can be soaked off for quick removal.

Polish The least durable option, traditional polish is also being used over a gel-polish fusion base to create interesting effects on the nails. The bonus is that the polish can be removed with an acetone remover without affecting the underlying base. t

The most popular looks she’s seeing are glitter, subtle stripes or polka dots and occasionally rhinestones. If nails are long enough, Lee has even been embellishing slightly with a rhinestone or two on the underside of the nail. Her favourite style right now is doing a two- or three-colour fade and using colours to complement what the client is wearing for an event. For instance, black with silver glitter fading into a hot pink. “Acrylic and gel services are still steady, but natural nail services are

Wide variety of looks With a range of fullness, length, texture and even colour and shine, eyelash extensions can accommodate the most specific wants and needs of a wide selection of clients. From the polished professional—think magazine publisher

Lynda Reeves of Canadian House and Home—to the most glammed-out girl on the town, there is an eyelash extension out there to please every single one of your existing or future customers. Most people choose black and brown lashes. However, there is a cornucopia of colours, including red, orange, green, blue and purple, that are now available, while more sophisticated "special event" extensions are embellished with sparkles. For holiday 2011, U.S.-based Novalash has launched Candied Lashes, shimmery lashes that are hand-dipped in ultra-fine coloured crystals and then freeze-dried. These sophisticated and seasonal lashes pair with a standard full set of NovaLash extensions to add just the right amount of glam to any festive look. Other brands, such as Misencils, are now adding false eyelashes to its line, including some that are enhanced with mini rhinestones or coloured feathers, to target the occasional client who wants a long and luscious look without the commitment of extensions. For the ultra-deluxe client, Canadianbased Madame Lash is one of the companies offering mink lash extensions. It’s an upscale version of the traditional eyelash extension service. The company’s Silk Mink lashes are non-coated for good adhesion and natural-looking for a flawless style. It’s a perfect pre-party perk-me-up! S

yelash extension services have existed since the early 2000s and originated in Korea and Vietnam. But it’s the Hollywood starlets who have propelled the popularity of the glam lashes in the last couple of years, which, in turn, has led to a proliferation of salons offering the service. The main reason? It’s relatively inexpensive to get equipped—the typical starter kit and training session sell for around $1,500—and once you have a skilled team in place, you get repeat customers. Typically, clients replenish their set of eyelash extensions every two to three weeks. When you consider that it costs a salon or eyelash technician $2 to $4 for a full set of lashes in materials, and with women paying upward of $250 for this service, the opportunity for profit is very real. At Misencils, a Canadian leader in eyelash extensions, the comprehensive kit (packaged in a makeup artist’s metal case), contains all the materials a technician needs to generate 200 full sets of lash extensions.

Remembering

John Steinberg Friends and colleagues share their memories of the “Rosedale Rebel”

he Canadian beauty industry lost a much-loved icon when John Steinberg passed away at the end of August 2011. The legacy he has left behind, though, continues to affect and inspire the people who work at the creative craft of hairstyling that he loved so much. Steinberg’s ever-evolving career began in 1959 as an apprentice at a salon in his hometown of London, England. He earned his reputation here in Toronto, however, where he opened his groundbreaking 1980s salon, The Rainbow Room, and where his artistry and imagination earned him the media title “The Rosedale Rebel.” A second successful salon, John Steinberg & Associates, opened 20 years ago on King Street West. Rock stars, movie stars and ice-skating legends all found their way into Steinberg’s chair, as did business tycoons, clubgoers and neighbourhood mums. “John had a flair

s a l o n > november+december 11

By Alexandra Innes for refined coolness,” says creative director Stacy Stray, of Toronto’s Grateful Head Hair Salon, who started out as John’s assistant 14 years ago. “He had a clientele of smart, artistic people who wanted to look a bit ‘out there’ but also professional. And they rarely, if ever, told him what they wanted. They put their head in his hands. And why not? It’s John Steinberg!” From fantastic fantasy creations used in national advertising campaigns to trendsetting cutting techniques, Steinberg continually demonstrated talent and vision. “He was a constant source of inspiration creatively,” says CEO and president of Collega International, Ray Civello, whose long association with John began with a position as junior stylist in 1980 at The Rainbow Room. “He never lost his passion for the craft, the hairdresser and the clients. His hair shows were legendary. He hosted amazing learning seminars, often bringing in

international names.” John personally coached and nurtured the people who worked with him, always expecting their best work. “John could be very difficult to train under,” says Benjamin Raine, now a junior stylist at John Steinberg & Associates, where he began as John’s assistant six years ago. “Especially if he believed in you, as he then liked to toughen you up. However, once we got an understanding, his mentorship turned to one of my most treasured friendships. His legacy lives on in everyone he touched.” Chanel Croker, now a senior stylist at the salon, adds, “He had a genuine interest in young people. He mentored me not only in the art and craft of cutting hair, but also in the art and craft of life. His love for people and his inability to keep things surface-level made him a force to be around.” In 2008, Steinberg’s lifelong passion for learning and sharing led him to create John

Steinberg: The Adventure, an entertaining and informative cross-Canada lecture series. “I always got a kick out of John when he started doing his speaking series at the ABA,” says Salon Magazine publisher and president Laura Dunphy. “He was so surprised and pleased the kids liked his presentation. It was like a bit of a Norma Rae/Sally Field moment for him: ‘They like me. They really like me!’” Even in the last year of his life, when he was battling cancer, Steinberg was determined to continue to pass on his knowledge and passion to young hairstylists. “I was astonished to see how John rebounded so fully after the cancer diagnosis in June 2010,” says Michael Baker, Steinberg’s close friend, head colourist and business partner in The Rainbow Room and Adventure personal assistant. “So fully that we were able to go back on the road and do two more Adventures together.” John loved people just as much as he loved hairdressing, as PR maven for the beauty and lifestyle industries, Donna-Lee Langton, president of Langton Communications, can attest. Together with Steinberg, who became a dear friend of both Langton and her husband, she co-founded the annual John Steinberg Open, which raised $186,000 for breast-cancer research for Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto. “For almost 20 years,” Langton recalls, “John was my date at a multitude of events. Inevitably, we would walk into parties where I was invited and he would know half the people in the room. If he didn’t, he would know them by the time we left. Time after time, he would start chatting with the most unassuming person and they would turn out to have some great story. He always had an instinct for recognizing aspects of people others missed. I would watch as both men and women would fall under his spell. Didn’t we all? He was absolutely charming without even trying to be.” The current owner of John Steinberg & Associates, Paul Narciso, who began there as the receptionist 10 years ago, considers that he has “the amazing honour” of keeping John’s legacy alive. “John had such a warm and caring heart. He guided me and taught me so much. John’s inner-child always made me realize that we need to enjoy each moment and not take ourselves too seriously,” Narciso says. “I admired John Steinberg for his amazing talent, but, more importantly, for the man he was.” As Langton says, “For John, the glass wasn’t just half full, it was overflowing.”

Steinberg-isms Eleven years of “Last Word” has left us with words of wisdom from John

ATTITUDE “I learned right from the start that manners matter as much in the salon as they do at the dinner table.” “Punctuality, like politeness, is part of professionalism.” “I set out with a passion for hairdressing. I wanted to work hard, learn and become a great hairdresser. In my book, hairdressing wasn’t about By Alexandra Innesmaking money as quickly as possible.” “I’m not a guru sitting on a hill, but yoga and meditation have helped me get through those darker moments we’re all familiar with.” “I love my job—I’m thinking of taking it up as a hobby in the future.” “Assistants work in a salon to become hairstylists, not to provide cheap labour.” “To any stylists who think they’re top dog and know it all: always remember there’s someone else who is, or will be, better than you.”

CLIENTS “Everyone who sits at your workstation deserves equal time and attention. No judgments allowed. Just great hair.” “As far as I’m concerned, you’re on stage every time you’re doing a client’s hair in the salon. And whoever is sitting in your chair is your model. Listen to her, give her your undivided attention—and send her out on wings.” “We create a part of our clients’ personal history. And so I say: ‘Isn’t it great to be a hairdresser.’”

CREATIVITY “I don’t know about you, but for me, there’s nothing like the feel of a pair of scissors in my hand.” “I truly believe that in art there is no right or wrong way of expressing yourself. Or of seeing. Just go ahead and do it.” “If you are new to the business, don’t be frightened to let your voice be heard. I, for one, have always been interested in the creative places to which my assistants’ minds have been known to travel.”

HUMOUR “The night before Halloween we bleached half my hair blond and the other half red. I showed up the next day as a colour chart.” “I hope you have a smile on your face and a lot of fun in your work.” “If you can’t have a good laugh at least once a day, what’s it all about?” S

New structured collection from avantgarde master Damien Carney

Balanced Beauty

his gorgeous, textured hair started with the idea of constructing styles that go against the natural head shape. In the process, Carney took textures and structures to the extreme, away from a normal appearance. He strove to create a sense of balance in the work so that it pushes the boundaries, while remaining beautiful. The balance is assisted through great styling and beautiful make-up. “The only limitation is your imagination,” says Carney. He created the images as part of Joico’s Pictorial session, a thee-day program that allows stylists to observe the creation of a collection from start to finish. S

COLOUR

he ombre technique is the latest “it” hair-colouring technique and it’s caught on like wildfire around the world. Colourists everywhere are using the technique, mimicking what nature does naturally to hair with a graduation of colour from dark to light or vice versa. But now that it seems that every client with long hair is rocking this look, is ombre out? Some of the industry’s leading professionals say, “Not a chance.” “We featured the ombre look for the first time back in January, yet it’s only in the last few months that it has caught fire in New York,” says celebrity stylist and salon owner Nick Arrojo. “And it will still be igniting for many people come spring 2012.” Many stylists agree that the technique is not new. Colourists have always experimented with colour graduation; it only seems new now that it has caught on

Has the colour trend run its course? commercially. JLo, Beyonce and Selena Gomez are only some of the celebs caught sporting the style. “What I love about ombre is that in the economic times that we’re having, this technique allows clients to have something new and fun, and they can get it done when they want to, not when they have to,” says Patrick McIvor, Matrix artist and owner of Patrick McIvor Studio. “It’s what nature naturally does, where it doesn’t naturally do it.” Davines artist and two-time British Hairdresser of the Year winner, Angelo Seminara, says, “I personally love hair that goes from dark to light. We have our own technique that we’re offering courses on and we’re selling it to the max. It’s a technique that doesn’t look like artificial colour, and that’s what I think is really beautiful about it.” As seasons change and trends morph,

You Say... “I'm in Paris right now, looks like it's still in here.” –Alina Friesen “Very innnnnnnnnnn!:)”–Diane Marinelli Nieves “IN, but depending on how it's done.”–Sonia Barbosa Azizi “Ombre has always been IN, it’s just a hot trend right now!" –Xristina Kolovos “It seems to be in, but I sure don't like the look very much.” –Crystal Anderson-Lasseter “Out. Come on, it's fall. Sell those reds.” –Sandro Zamparini

ombre may take on a new life with new tweaks. In October, at the ARROJO Expo in Atlanta, Arrojo displayed techniques for transitioning to a softer ombre. “These softer looks still have the ombre feel, while providing a path back to single tone colours, and high and low lights,” says Arrojo. McIvor says it can be adapted seasonally, from blonde to brown to red or gold. “The difference is that what we’ve seen in the past with highlights—going from blonde in the summer to brown in the winter—allows you to play with the transition.” We’ll also see bolder colours and punk rock shades using this technique. For 2012, Arrojo predicts there's a texture revolution that's about to begin. "Movement and swoosh will be the style du jour, as textured hair works much better with softer, muted tones.” S

via Facebook.com/Salon52 “Summer is over, so bye-bye ombre! –Nancy Wybrandts “Out. A gentler version is still in but rich cool brows and rich reds will be big this fall.” –Michelle Pargee “Regardless of in or out, the ombre technique is a great color correction tool! A slight lift with Soft Blonde Blondor cream and 1.9% or 4% the last 15 min of your regular service can soften up the dark and dull ends.” –Danielle Dickie

PROFILE

How did you start out in the hairstyling world? I come from an extremely creative family. In the ‘70s my parents were pioneers. They had their own salon and successfully integrated the spa concept, adding esthetics and body sculpting to their menu of services. From a very young age I felt drawn to fashion and beauty. What do you love the most in this industry? I’m passionate about being able to change things, to have the power to innovate. What makes your style unique? I focus on styles that are feminine with a touch of glam, refined and timeless. Even if what I’m doing is very avant-garde, I always make sure that women can recognize themselves in the hairstyles I create. Bottom line: it has to be wearable.

s a l o n > november+december 11

How involved are you with Professional by Fama? I was a Matrix artist for a year. And the things I did on stage got me noticed at Star Bédard—the Quebec distributor for Matrix and Professional by Fama—which then offered me the position of artistic director for Professional by Fama. What I was doing was very much in line with what the company wanted as an image for the brand. Within six months I created a new collection, which was presented to the team at Professional by Fama’s headquarters in Italy. And now? I’ve been the artistic director for Professional by Fama for the last 10 years. And I do absolutely everything for the brand. From cuts to colour, to concepts and collections, as well as inspiration boards and promotional material—you name it! The material is produced here in Canada, and I work very closely with the Italian team.

I’ve also put together a technical team, and we offer regular education sessions. And the results are phenomenal. We have one of the highest rates of satisfaction within the industry. As a salon owner, what are the main challenges that you face? I think it’s possible to be a good businesswoman and still be human. The relationship with your staff is super important. As a boss, you have to be open and create a sense of community so that team morale is strong. Incorporating the education aspect into the life of your salon is also vital, while also focusing on your marketing objectives, for example, by offering specific services and creating your in-salon displays. The goal is to keep evolving and moving forward. How do you successfully integrate creativity and management? You can’t have one without the

other. If you’re not creative enough you can’t keep your sales volume up. On the other hand, the client has to be comfortable with her look. It’s important to keep your feet on the ground. The relationship you have with your client is extremely important. I always keep in mind the "human" aspect before any financial consideration. It’s more important than anything, and definitely the core value of any business. S

Keeping Winter Skin Happy

By Alexandra Innes

o prepare skin for the cold blast of winter, Erin Wilson, a skin therapist at Ritual in Toronto, recommends starting with a change of moisturizer. She advises using a heavier, non-comedogenic formulation that protects skin from the elements without clogging pores or causing breakouts. And if clients don’t want to part with their favourite moisturizer, she suggests giving it a boost for winter with a hydrating serum that contains hyaluronic acid. For nighttime repair, she favours creams that contains restorative vitamins A, C and E, ingredients like honey to nourish, or aloe, cucumber or arnica to soothe. “In a perfect world,” Wilson says, “a face treatment would be on our to-do list every four to six weeks.” She points out that as well as being a great way to keep clients looking and feeling their best, professional treatments also help to monitor any changes in their skin so adjustments can be made in their home-care routine. Pascale Couton, an esthetician and spa trainer at Solarice Wellness Spa in Vancouver, agrees. “We have to educate our clients,” she says. “Because you can do a facial, but if they are not taking care of their skin at home, it’s wasting their time and their money.” As the air becomes drier so does skin, and Couton advises her clients to exfoliate and use a mask once a week at home to help remove dry skin. Otherwise, it acts like a barrier that blocks the penetration of any cream or serum. And although the sun may not feel very strong in these colder months, it’s still an important factor for skin care. “You don’t feel it,” Couton warns, “but we see a lot of sun damage, especially when skiing.” Everybody should use a moisturizer on their face with an SPF of at least 30, she says. Skin that's oily also feels the effects of frigid temperatures and becomes dehydrated. This may lead to an overproduction of sebum to compensate for the moisture loss. For these clients, Wilson advises looking for an oil-free hydrating lotion to keep a happy balance. S

s a l o n > november+december 11

Alleviate dry skin issues with these tips for your clients:

1 2 3 4 5 6

Use a pH-balanced cleanser that won't strip skin of valuable moisture.

A humidifier is a great investment. It keeps the air comfortable and skin well hydrated.

A hydrating toner is great for thirsty skin. It can be applied under moisturizer and also used throughout the day to refresh.

Avoid moisture-stripping showers by keeping the water tepid instead of hot and follow immediately with a lipidrich body moisturizer.

Opt for an exfoliant that uses enzymes or alpha hydroxy acids instead of harsh scrubs that contain nuts or shells, which can cause micro tears in the skin, leading to dehydration and sensitization. And last but not least... Drink more water!

Brrr! It’s cold outside! Colder weather signals more than a need for warm clothing. It also means it’s time to transition your clients to a winter skin-care regimen, both in the spa and at home

Huë Hair Salon + Eco Boutique A serene, eco-friendly salon located in a refurbushed house prides itself on sustainability By Melissa Hill

hen Tara Watts was looking for a place to open her salon, the small town of Okotoks, 15 minutes outside Calgary, was at the top of the list. The town has become known for its push for sustainability, with its own recycling plant and a cap on water usage. Some neighborhood communities have even introduced solar power. Residents have put a premium on community and the environment, and many businesses have followed suit. When remodelling to put in the salon, she made every effort to be as eco-friendly as possible, including picking up items from a salvage centre. Her product lines reflect the same esthetic. "Not everything is organic, but all of these lines I've been drawn to because of their commitment to the environment," she says. "Because I have the choice of what to bring in, I can follow my own personal and business ethics, so nothing is mass produced and it's as local as possible." S

SEEN IT, HEARD IT We asked you to share your best tales from the floor, and here’s what you had to say!

“A client thought her perm rods were talking to her as I was wrapping her hair. She jumped out of the chair, ran out the door and down the street with half her head wrapped. Meds needed adjustment?” —@Michelle Thiessen

“I have one client who loves to have a short, creative hairstyle. But every time I had to cut around her ears she would get sick or start heaving. I had to learn how to cut her hair without touching her ears... it was extremely bizarre.” —@Rossa Jurenas

“This is kinda gross. I was curling a client’s hair one day when I could feel a tickling in my nose. As I was looking down at the top of her head, a dried piece of booger fell into her hair. I was mortified! As I was picking it out of her hair, she asked what it was, and I had to lie and tell her it was towel fluff!’ —@Michelle Muxlow-Facchin

“I had a client who insisted on doing her own hair. Not only did she blow-dry upside down to give her natural curl the frizziest volume possible, she proceeded to throw it in a half pony on top of her hair and crimped her fringe! YES, she brought in her own crimper!” —@Alissa McGaughey

“This ‘mom’ client of mine, who is a good friend’s mother, asked me if I charge extra for the blow job. She meant to ask if I charge extra for the blow-dry!” —@Coy Macdonald

PHOTO: NOELLE STAPINKSY; SALON: FRINGE SALON, TORONTO

“I had a colour and dash. A client with a full head of foils, an in-between colour, a colour smock with nothing underneath and a cape ran out of the salon and got onto a bus. Never heard from her again. Eventually her daughter came to pick everything up.” —@Graden van Erkelens
