SAVVY TOP PICKS 8 • Savvy Top Picks
Our first Savvy top pick is our SVVY detangling brush. We have tried and tested 51 hairbrush prototypes to find our perfect brush. We only provide products for our customers that have passed the Savvy test. Tried, tested, and loved by all Savvy staff. A soft bristle brush that is curved to fit the shape of the head with ease and efficiency, reduces frizz and protects sensitive scalps, detangles and smooths the hair cuticle, and is suitable for all hair types especially hair extensions, wigs, and children.
Eva Professional Summum Jojoba Rain Tonic is another Savvy favourite. A balancing and moisturising tonic spray that protects against hair loss caused by excess oil. Jojoba moisturises and regulates oily scalps. To be used on wet and towel dried hair, do not rinse, and then dry. You will not be disappointed by the smell of this product. Paraben, sulphate, colorant, and allergen free.
Using good quality hair masks along with your shampoo and conditioner is a must for healthy hair. Our evo the great hydrator moisture mask is a customer favourite. A hydrating treatment to moisturise and smooth hair while greatly improving manageability. This mask is perfect for those with dry, frizzy, colour treated hair. Will greatly benefit the hair by adding moisture, condition, enhancing shine, and reducing frizz. To make your day that little bit safer this mask is sulphate, paraben, dea, and tea free.
Framar’s Dream Weaver combs save time behind the chair and shave hours off highlighting applications. The combs come as a set of three and three different sizes: Pink (Small), Purple (Medium), and Blue (Large). One simple move of the comb creates several even sections ready to be painted, a step that typically requires several minutes of weaving with a pink tail. Each incredibly lightweight comb features a stainlesssteel pintail for parting and sectioning, preventing frizz and flyaways.

Introduce yourself, and how you got to know Savvy & Shine?
I have known Joanna for over 20 years through the hair industry so when she opened Savvy & Shine she asked me to try out some of her new brands. It was a no brainer to try out these brands as the sustainability of the brands and product range suited the ethos within my salon.

What attracted you to the hair industry?
I always knew from a very young age that I wanted to be a hairdresser. I had an older cousin who worked in the industry and she always did my hair. I was amazed at how beautiful she could make my hair, and the level of skill that came with being a hairdresser. I was always determined to make a name for myself in the hair industry and I am very proud to have succeeded that goal.
3
What is your favourite hairstyle to do?
I love transforming my clients hair but short hair has always been my speciality. My passion is creating different shapes to suit each client correctly. When people leave my salon smiling it makes my day complete. 4
What is your favourite Savvy & Shine product? There are so many Savvy & Shine products but I have to say evo fab pro has totally revolutionised my business. It is a fantastic introduction to colour
without the commitment to having to recolour as it fades when washed. fab pro direct dyes can be mixed together to create an unlimited array of semi-permanent colours with natural tone and shine. If you introduce this product into your salon you will never look back, the evo range is eco-friendly and respects people & the planet. 5
What keeps you motivated throughout your career?
We as hairdressers are very lucky that we are in a fast paced industry so it is always changing. This in turn keeps things fresh for us if we have the passion to evolve. I love how there is always room to grow and improve within the hair industry and I can learn new skills at any stage of my career. 6
What tips and tricks do you have for someone looking to enter the hair industry?
My biggest tip for entering the hair industry is to keep learning at every possible step of your career, and to develop great relationships with your clients. In the hair industry your clients turn into your friends, this makes working in this industry even more enjoyable.

R A H S F A E CLAR
AIR H S K C O R GE A T N I V M O FR 1. Introduce yourself, and HOW you got to know Savvy & Shine? Hey! My name is Clare Afshar, owner and head stylist at Vintage Rocks hair. I am a LA trained hairstylist with a passion for all hairstyles from yesterday. Even though I have over 25 years industry experience behind me I love to learn new, recent techniques and try out new amazing products, which has brought me to Savvy & Shine.
2. Why do you love being a hairdresser? I love doing hair for so many different reasons, however it is more than just hair. I believe it’s helping someone feel better and look amazing leaving my salon. There is something so fulfilling by making my clients’ day by doing their hair. I have noticed over the years how your hair looks, really does affect your mood and how you feel about yourself.
3. What has been your proudest moment in your career? I am very proud to say I have styled hair for the Netflix Original show School of Good vs Evil, and more recently styled hair for the Northern Ireland opera. I have many proud moments throughout my career which has made me want to push myself harder every single day. Getting back behind my chair after my Dad had passed away was a very hard moment in my career, but one I am very proud of. I was also very proud to open Ireland’s first Vintage Hair parlour.
4. What is your favourite brand and product from Savvy? My all time favourite Savvy & Shine product is by far Oh la la Vitamin Recharge from Eva Professional. I love using Oh la la on my clients as it moisturises, detangles, disciplines, and controls the hair. Perfect for those who want to add body, density, and shine to their hair. It is like magic in a bottle.
5. What hair accessory or product would you be lost without? I would be lost without my comb and scissors in my hand. Majority of the time if you come into my salon I will be standing with my comb and scissors because I am obsessed with transforming my clients hair. I love when my adventurous clients come through my door and I know I am going to have fun doing their transformation.

SALON SUNDRIES
24 • Salon Sundries - Framar
has over 100 products including
foil, dispenser, accessories, gloves,
brushes and more! We love the innovative designs Framar has created from star struck silver foils, to back in black, to rosé all day, to badass blue the colours are to die for! Framar is a company that caters to the people and their main aspiration is to make products for the salon professional that promotes excitement in a stylist’s day to day life.
CLIENT REVIEW “ I love Framer foils!!! The embossed pattern gives you far more hold and control during foiling which helps stop nasty bleach bleeds and the wider foil allows a more global application in half the time and half the foils used win for the environment and win for my arms and wage bill”
from Jessica at Cajera salon @the_hair_extension_girl.
