EDITOR’S LETTER

Why do you want your demi color to fade?

T

Fall Faves his is probably my favourite time of year. There’s nothing like the crisp fall air, the digging out of jeans, sweaters and boots and of course, a new, rich shade of colour to

complete the look! The October colour issue falls at the perfect time of year, right when you and your clients will be pondering new shades for the season. You’ll find plenty of inspiration here, between an array of new, vivid collections and technical stories on colour. Special thanks to some of last year’s Canadian Colourist finalists from the Contessa Awards who generously shared their best practices for building their colour business, on p. 48. Encountering clients who have gone far too light this summer and are ready to make a change? Or had an unfortunate run-in with box colour?

Soma Complete Colour

Make sure you check out the story about colour correction on p. 44.

This time of year is also exciting because of the annual Contessa Awards, which are fast approaching! In this issue, you’ll find a list of all of this year’s semi-finalists. Congratulations to all of them, as well as to everyone who entered. There was an amazing amount of great work submitted and it was a tough gig for our in-person and online panels of judges to narrow it down. Next up? The finalists’ list. Make sure you go online and sign up for our weekly e-newsletter and be the first to get a look at all the finalists. The list will be published in the e-newsletter in midOctober. And don’t forget to get your tickets to the big event, happening

• Deposit Only, Permanent Color • No Fading • Absolutely No Lift • No Ammonia • No MEA • Keratin Protein Enriched • Sunflower Oil delivery system

I also want to wish all the finalists for the Contessa Awards an early good luck. This is my last issue of the magazine, before I take a year off for maternity leave. But I’m excited to be leaving everything in the capable hands of new editor, Anna Lee Boschetto, who will be filling in for me. If you’re at the Contessa Awards this year, be sure to meet her and say hello.

She’s very excited to get to know the industry and all the fantastic people who are at the heart of it. I wish you all a great, prosperous year and look forward to seeing you again next fall!

Salon Magazine Celebrates 20!

Then and Now: Curls are still in.

Stylist: Louis Hechter, L’Oréal Professionnel portfolio artist and owner of Orbite hair salon in Montreal The Look: Super-tight curls, reminiscent of the ’70s, heralded the comeback of perms in the fall of ’96. “That was an interesting look back in the day that has somehow managed to become sort of a classic,” says Hechter.

Then: Orbite opened in 1990. The salon quickly made a name for itself as one of the most coveted beauty destinations in the country. Since then, Hechter and Orbite have racked up the prizes.

e Much like how a colourist specializes in one aspect in the salon, a “skin therapist” is an esthetician who is specially trained to assess and treat skin conditions. As the

demand for skin care increases, try highlighting the skin experts on your team by adopting the term “skin therapist” to help boost a professional and relevant look on your menu of services.

Colour Redux Taking the fear out of colourcorrection work.

By Melissa Hill

T

he broad title of “colour correction” in the salon includes a wide range of services. Many experienced colourists, including Rodica Hristu, a master colourist for Goldwell

and at De Beradinis Salon & Spa in Toronto, consider it a correction anytime a client wants to make a major change. Catherine Allard, a Redken artist and colourist at Odyssée Salon in Montreal, also sees problems like faded ends, blondes with a green tint or clients who experimented with box colour—and lost. While it can certainly be a challenge, they both agree there’s no reason to fear this type of work.

In fact, both say they’re invigorated by the challenge. Read on for how to remain calm, cool and collected when faced with a messy colour.

Step 1: Book enough time.

When handling bookings, consider treating each new colour client as a colour correction. Michelle Pargee, a Contessa-winning colourist and owner of Milica SalonSpa in Langley, B.C., says this allows her to start with a clean slate. “You don’t know what’s been done to the hair,” she says. “Ninety-eight per cent of the time, I know what the colour will come out like, but sometimes guests don’t give the whole story. You have to prime the hair and it takes time.” By booking properly for that first appointment, you know you’ll leave yourself time to complete all

Step 2: Make a plan.

“The most important consideration when doing colour correction is asking yourself if the hair is healthy enough to get the desired result or does it need some reconstructing treatments with colour correction in phases and steps to maintain the hair's integrity," says Sue Pemberton, international hair colour artistic director for Joico. Answering those questions will form the basis of the plan that you’ll put together to take the client from point A to point B. Allard recommends writing down exactly what steps you intend to take, along with the cost involved for each one. “When you write down the steps, you can see if you missed one and you can’t cut corners. Write it down and stick to your plan,” she says. This has the extra benefit of fully preparing the client for the cost and time involved.

Step 3: Communicate with your client.

So much of good customer service comes down to communication, and with colour correction, it is no different. “Consultations are a

the steps, including a pre-treatment, if necessary.

s a l o n m a g a z i n e . c a

key for colour corrections. Asking the right questions is so important,” says Philip Ferreira, of Axis Salon in Vancouver and a Wella educator. “What is the real level? What is the tone? When clients want darker or a specific blonde, what level and tonality do they really want? Listen, listen, listen to what clients are saying.” Hristu agrees, and recommends making sure that you and the client have agreed on the end result. “Make the client understand what he or she is looking at and asking for and what he or she is going to get.

Give the cliet some visuals, like hair strands; something he or she can picture,” she says.

“Just because a client likes a picture, doesn’t mean it will look good on him or her. If you know it’s going to be a failure, don’t be afraid to say, 'No'.”

Step 4: Take your time.

“Sometimes what a client asks for can be done in one visit. But often, with a colour correction, it won’t be possible without causing damage to the hair,” says Allard. “I prefer to be really honest with the customer.

Sometimes it’s a lot of time. If she has three colours in her hair and wants a natural colour, it may be impossible in one shot.” She often finds that even by making one or two steps toward the desired result in the first visit, the client will be delighted by the change—and know her hair will be healthier in the end.

Tips & Tricks

1.

Don't skimp on the bleach.

When lightening, make sure you saturate the product through the hair, says Amie Goltz, Scruples' director of field education and the Scruples Academy. “When the product dries out, it stops working. Make sure it is so saturated that you see the product

and you really don’t see the hair.”

Agree on a shade of blonde.

When choosing which product to use, make sure you and the client are on the same page. “Saying blonde to a client can mean a multitude of things and it goes back to the consultation.

This helps you decide when to do highlights, base breaking or bleaching to get what he/she is looking for,”

says Goltz.

Get the right amount of lift.

Make sure you’ve achieved the proper amount of lift before toning. An easy way to check is to ask if the hair looks like the inside of a banana or the outside. If it’s the outside, you haven’t lifted high enough. “In some cases,

Building Your Colour Biz

By Melissa Hill

aving the best technical skills with colour is not the only thing you need to get ahead. To really build your book, you need the right customer service skills, as well. Here, nine

past Contessa Canadian Colourist of the Year finalists share their top tips for getting—and keeping—your colour business booming.

1. Show off your work.

to clients. This creates word-of-mouth that allows for client referrals.”

—Silas Tsang, co-owner of Blushes, Ottawa

2. Solicit referrals.

“One rule we use at the salon is to give clients two business cards. One is for them and we ask them to hand the other out to the first person who compliments their hair colour. This is a great way to build clientele. If your clients love their hair colour, they will be happy to do so.”

—Julie Vriesinga, artistic director, Salon Entrenous, London, Ont.

3. Create personalized colour for every client.

“With regard to referrals, we make sure not to give friends the ‘same’ colour! I hear from guests all the time about how their last colourist made them all look the same (they usually discover it when they all get together at a party or for drinks and then the search for a new colourists begins). You have to create a personalized look, especially for referrals!”

—Alann Sluser, owner, KOKO the Salon, Edmonton

4. Know your colour.

“Be aware of what the client needs, whether it’s using a semi/demi permanent, permanent or ammonia-free colour. If you can provide the right type of colour—for example, using a demi-permanent colour or ammonia-free

Trial By Fire

A long-time client goes from sitting in the chair to running the salon. Here’s what you can learn from an outsider’s perspective.

By Melissa Hill

G

eoff Lumber grew up in the Loren Park area of Mississauga, Ont., attending high school right around the corner from Lorenzo Salon and

Spa. Before long, he became a client, seeing the owner, Lorenzo Morra, for trims. “We worked for years at Revlon Cosmetics [first in finance, then in logistics], so I was immersed in the beauty industry. Over time, we talked about how he wanted to transition his life away from working so hard and having the responsibility for a very busy salon.”

Around 2008, those conversations took a new twist after a phone call with Morra. What started as a question of knowing anyone who would be interested in managing the salon, became a question of whether Lumber might actually be interested in owning the salon.

“It was something I had never contemplated before,” he says. “Once I got my head around it, I got very excited.”

Two years later, when the deal was finalized in November 2010, Lumber had been a client for nearly 20 years. “I joke that I was going

On average, 30 to 35 per cent of salons retain first-time clients within 90 days of their visit. To increase this rate, run retention reports through your database and salon software. Owners can also incorporate the assessment in staff performance reviews, in order to measure and improve on areas of growth for each

8. Make use of the database.

We know it’s tedious to type in details about retail sales or client profiles, but this information is indispensible, once utilized. For example, by tracking when your clients come in at each appointment, you can find out how often they return and consider why first-time clients have not returned—not to mention, you have their contact information to remind them you’re still open for their business.

AGNES, CANCER SURVIVOR

“While I was going through my cancer treatment, I was determined to face cancer head on. And thanks to Look Good Feel Better I got the help I needed.”

At a free, two-hour Look Good Feel Better workshop, Agnes received a complimentary kit of cosmetic products and a chemo cap. She learned simple makeup techniques to even out her skin tone and recreate the look of lost eyebrows and lashes. A hair alternatives specialist showed Agnes how to have fun with scarves and hats, empowering her to face cancer with confidence.

for Schwarzkopf Professional, as well as the founder of Mekka System of Education, Studio Mekka-Schwarzkopf Professional is nestled in a heritage building in the trendy

Plateau Mont-Royal area of Montreal. “We chose this location because it’s in a creative, stylish area of the city,” says Simon, who has been active in the hair industry for more than 26 years. “The goal is to have a maximum of eight students at a time, and that’s why we wanted a smaller, more intimate setting.”

Having had the chance to visit many European Schwarzkopf academies, Simon was impressed by the use of space in such small footprints. She also wanted to give it a working artists’ studio feel, but for hair.

Studio Mekka-Schwarzkopf Professional will be used primarily as an educational studio but will also act as a creative development workshop for Simon and her team to work on and develop new ideas and concepts for their education programs or just to sharpen their skills. However, it will also accommodate a salon clientele one day a week. A smart move to amortize rental costs and give the academy visibility to the consumer market.

Get ready for autumn’s new colour requests.

I like changing my hair colour and sometimes it’s not for a role.

Usually, I just do it for me.

is this the end of redheads?

Not so fast! According to a Yahoo Health! story, although a few years ago there were news reports claiming that by 2060 redheads would be extinct, this isn’t exactly the case. The reports were based on the notion that recessive genes—like for red hair— eventually die out. Even if all redheads stopped having kids, there’s no shortage of non-redheads who carry the genes to pass on the trait. A study done in the UK found that 40 per cent of Brits carry recessive genes for red hair. The world’s highest number of redheads is found in Scotland, where an estimated 13 per cent of Scots—about 650,000 people—have flame-colored tresses, compared to four per cent of Europeans and less than two percent of the global population, according to STV News.
