TANORGANIC LAUNCHES SELF-TANNING OIL! TanOrganic has added another fantastic self-tanning product to their range, the new TanOrganic Self-Tanning Oil! Cosmetic lovers have been shifting from waterbased lotions to moisturising body oils over the past few years. The same path is predicted to eventually follow for selftanning products. “Water based products evaporate off the skin, unlike deeply hydrating moisturising oils. To ensure a natural looking tan, you need a product that won’t dry out and cause the skin to flake, as this is the number one tell-tale sign of a faux tan,” commented Noelle O’Connor, Creator of TanOrganic.

Business Of Beauty

Don’t Ask – Don’t Get! Do you know about all the possible entitlements you could claim for? Elaine Ryan examines tax refunds. Despite the continuing recession, the government is still happy in the knowledge that it will retain millions in the exchequer each year due to unclaimed tax refunds. So I want to highlight some tax back options you may not be aware of: Business Wise From a business point of view, under the Seed Capital Scheme, if you have started up and work full-time in your own company, you can claim back the Income Tax you paid in the previous six years, to invest equity into the Company, subscribed to as shares. Private Rent Rent payment tax relief by tenants paying to private landlords is being phased out, so only tenants renting before the 7th of December 2010 will still qualify for Rent Relief in 2013 up to a maximum of €1,000 for a single person and €2,000 for a married person. If you are aged over 55: relief available is €2,000 and €4,000 respectively. This relief will be phased out by 2017. Meds All qualifying medical expenses can be claimed at the standard rate of 20%, with the exception of nursing home expenses which is allowable at the higher rate of 41% if applicable, however, there is a timeframe in which you have to claim this relief. A claim for tax relief must be made within four years after the end of the tax year to which the claim relates. Most of us would assume that, as we are working and not in receipt of a Social Welfare payment, that we would not be entitled to any medical assistance. However, the GP only card will cover all visits to the doctor for your family. The means test is based on net income after the deduction of Tax, PRSI and reasonable expenses on rent, mortgage, childcare and travel to work. The cards will be granted if your remaining income after these deductions does not exceed the following guidelines for 2013:

Carers As a lot of people are unaware of how the payroll system works, they don’t know how or what they are entitled to claim. One tax credit that can be forgotten is Homecaring Spouse Credit, as it is not automatically given, you must apply to Revenue to claim this. This is available to a spouse in a one-earner family, where the spouse is staying at home to care for the children. The homecarer is allowed to earn up to €5,080 income of their own - thereafter the credit is reduced, reaching zero if their income exceeds €6,620. One Parent Families There is also a one-parent family credit that applies to a single or separated person or a person who has joint custody of their child and if you can show that your child resides with you for some part of the relevant tax year. This credit is similar to the married credit which will give each parent an additional 1,650 tax credit allowing them to pay less tax and thus increasing their net take home pay. This relief is not available to an unmarried couple living together. Dependants The Dependant Relative credit is available to any individual who maintains a relative at his/her expense, once the relatives' income does not exceed the contributory pension. Also medical insurance relief and health expenses relief can be claimed in respect of the dependant relative. One means of increasing your workforce without the cost is Revenue’s Jobsbridge.ie scheme. It offers an internship of six to nine months to people who have been signing on as available to work and getting a payment or credits for at least three months. This scheme is beneficial to both employer and intern, as the intern will receive an extra €50 per week, as well as their welfare payment; also gaining new skills and training to help them in the future. The employer benefits from no wage expense and they get to correctly train the intern in a way that they prefer. It might be a cost effective solution to outsource some aspects of your business, like payroll and bookkeeping; giving you more time to spend trying to increase sales and leaving the stress and hassle to someone else.

GUIDLINES FOR 2013: Single / living alone Single living with family Married couple (single parent) The above guidelines will increase for each additional dependent child: The 1st two children under 16 for subsequent children under 16 The 1st two children over 16 For subsequent children over 16 For children over 16 in full-time education

Consultation Feature

Repeat That? Do you want to increase loyal repeat clients? Bronwyn Conroy tells you how to do just that! The beauty industry is all about repeat business. We need clients to return for more treatments and to buy our corresponding homecare products. Without returning clients - we cannot survive. It is more cost effective to target our existing client base than to attract new customers. No advertising costs will be incurred, it just requires an up-to-date database for loyalty schemes and special offers. It is far more effective to offer incentives to your existing client base than to do deal websites. Deal websites are for people who chase the next deal, the salon involved rarely makes money, or attracts new clients. When we are initially attracting clients, certain factors are very important: Location Is it in the correct demographic area? Is there parking? What other shops are in the area? Appearance Both the salon and its staff members will be judged on appearances. The salon must be clinically spotless with the duality of being a relaxing environment. Prices While you want to make a profit to stay afloat, it is vital that the prices are competitive. This especially applies to monthly maintenance treatments such as waxing and tinting. Knowledge of the Products Therapists must attend the training courses for each product range. If they do not have adequate product knowledge - they do not have the confidence to sell. Regular refresher courses are a great way to re-focus and re-motivate. Friendliness An enthusiastic, friendly therapist will build a loyal client base very quickly. Advertising & Social Media You will need a targeted public relations and marketing strategy to promote the products and services you are offering. A bad product / service which is marketed well will outlive a good product / service which is not marketed properly. Do some research into marketing, do a course or hire a marketing / PR agency. 12•••••Beauty Professional Ireland

When we are looking for our clients to return: V New clients should receive an email, thanking them for their business, looking for feedback and offering them a loyalty programme. V Clients are the best advertisement for a salon. To ensure good word of mouth treatments and service must be consistent. V A loyalty scheme should be in place whereby for every 10 facials you get 1 free or a some similar type of reward. V Social Media offers such as: a free 20 min back massage with all facials or 20% off treatments on quieter days. V It is important to stay in contact with clients to remind them that you are there without being invasive. V Try promotional evenings with a glass of wine for each customer and a make-up demo or skincare demo. Don’t be afraid to contact your product suppliers for sample (goody bags) support or point of sale items to help promote their products, which you are selling!

We spoke with Ellen Kavanagh, owner of Waxperts Wax, to find out more about the fast growing Irish brand. Congratulations to Waxperts Wax on your highly successful first year! Thank you! We are delighted with the response to our wax. The feedback and people’s love of the product has been overwhelming. We are in over 100 salons countrywide, and that´s growing daily. In October 2012 we launched at the Olympia Beauty trade show in London and have also begun stocking throughout the UK. We were awarded mentions in both Image Magazine and Social and Personal for being the best wax and waxers nationwide. So it´s been a busy twelve months! Your branding and company ethos is obviously strong enough to weather a competitive market. It‘s great to see an Irish company doing well in a recession! Yes, we are very proud to be an Irish company in the 22•••••Beauty Professional Ireland

marketplace. Salons here love that they can support an Irish brand, and, I suppose they feel proud that we are: ‘one of their own’, as such. Our branding is extremely strong, so it gives salons lots to work with and promote, which is great. Luckily, the Irish are loved across the globe, so we´ve been welcomed into the UK and US markets with open arms. They are surprised that we´re from Ireland at first! In the past wax has been an area synonymous with Australia, but that´s changed now. So what makes Waxperts Wax different? It´s our unique formulation. I developed a wax from scratch with no private labelling. This means that no other wax contains what our wax has. It has the strength of a traditional hot wax, but it is used as thin as a film wax. It´s a premium wax, we didn´t scrimp

on any element of it; we wanted the very best. We have a very secret blend in our hot wax that keeps it from cracking or breaking. It is the most pliable wax on the market. The melting point, and, more importantly, the working point is a lower temperature than other waxes. And it has been perfected for Irish skin types i.e. - fair / sensitive skin with coarse hair. We knew that if it suited such a sensitive skin type that it would work across the board. And it does. How will a therapist find Waxperts Wax different when they first use it? Definitely the pliability. Once therapists see it, feel it and use it, that´s it - they´re hooked! Because it´s made by a therapist - for therapists, it makes doing great waxing easier; so your clients feel that benefit too. There´s no brittleness or little bits of wax getting stuck or left in the client’s hair. And, as it´s used with the pre-wax oil it gives a practically pain free wax with a superb finish. It´s economical too, which is very important for salons; 1 kg bag of hot wax gives you 8-10 brazilians. The hot wax comes already broken up into chunks in a bag, so no more mess in your treatment rooms. You‘re passionate about therapists not ‘double dipping’. What does ‘double dipping’ mean exactly? When you are waxing and you apply wax to the area and then go back with your spatula to get more wax to apply - then that is ‘double dipping’. It is an unhygienic and unprofessional practice that is outdated. Waxpots do not reach temperatures where bacteria are killed. In fact, they are the opposite;

Waxing is certainly not a new practice, the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans went through phases of shunning bodily hair. They used concoctions of lemon juice mixed with melted sugar and pitch (i.e. tar)! Thankfully with brands like Waxperts, we don’t need to go to those lengths! If you would like to train in professional waxing, Waxperts has a range of affordable training options, which will have you waxing with confidence. The courses include: V Below the Belt training: covers all bikini waxing from basic to brazilian using Waxperts Hot Wax. V Waxperts 101: hot waxing from brows to bikini (extended) including legs and arms with strip wax. Includes a starter kit. V Waxperts Pro: waxing from brows to brazilians. Includes large starter kit. V Waxperts Pro Plus: Male waxing from brows to manzilian. V Waxpert in-training: ideal for those currently studying beauty. Perfect to prepare you for exams and real salon work. Why be a waxer ? when you can be a WAXPERT! “I‘ve completed my advanced waxing training with Ellen. I was amazed at her waxing ease, precision and elegance as well as with the quality of the Waxperts Wax itself. I loved my training!” Beauty and Soul, Waxperts. “Hi ladies thanks so much for our training yesterday. Trish was fab! We are delighted to be Waxperts,” Ebano Nutgrove, Waxperts.

warm dark pots of wax are a breeding ground for germs. We know more about STDs and various skin diseases now, so we should be protecting our clients from any risk of cross contamination from a wax pot. The easiest way to wax safely is to use a fresh spatula each time. Spatulas are not expensive and clients are happy paying an extra euro for a hygienic treatment. What‘s next for Waxperts Wax? We have some new professional products ready to launch for the summer. And a fantastic retail line that we are equally excited about. So watch this space!

Hair Professional Feature

Going For Gold! Fresh from styling the Irish glitterati at the IFTAs, hair maestro Mark O‘Keeffe talks about branching out into hairdressing...

1.

Do you think hairdressing is a lucrative option for a salon therapist / mobile therapist? Yes, however it is all about having a clientele and building a profile for yourself. Do this by shadowing as many high profile people as possible. It may be necessary to offer your services for free i.e charity gigs to get your name out there. Remember what goes around comes around. It is also vital to network, as this industry is small. The higher up you get the more important it is to build up a network of industry people and clients in order for your business to grow.

2.

Should they start from scratch? Or do you think a ‘Long Hair‘ course, that focuses on bridal and party styles, is the best place to start? It is always beneficial starting with the basics, and then building on them from there. Brown Sugar has a variety of Long Hair courses at different levels, including Foundation and High Fashion level. They give you access to some of the most talented stylists in the country, and are definitely one of the best ways to build your trade. Brown Sugar tend to lead the way and others follow!

3.

Do you often train beauty professionals in Brown Sugar, who are looking to diversify? We do beauty courses in Brown Sugar with make-up artists who are experts in their field; but on the flip side, we do train beauty professionals who are looking to cross over into hairdressing. If you have the passion and the talent - you will make it.

4.

In your opinion, what type of person makes the best hairdresser? Young, vibrant, passionate about fashion and people. They must be hardworking and have ambition to strive at the trade and keep afresh of new innovations in the industry. Be aware of trends and key looks. Most of all, be open minded and influenced by as many peers as possible.

and combines with the body’s own substances for a longer lasting visible effect. This leads to a minimal tension of the skin which, in turn, plumps up light wrinkles. The treatment also boosts the natural peptides in the skin. Peptides play an important role in the development of rejuvenation treatments. They occur naturally and do not confuse our natural balance. How does it work? Our skin cells need time to adapt to new circumstances. The innovation of the MESO vytal cell boost concept is the different approach towards skin improvement and rejuvenation. It gives the cells time to bolster up, to improve their texture and to stimulate their own reproduction of collagen and other nutrients. Clients are increasingly looking for alternatives to Botox, is MESO Vytal one? Definitely! The MESO vytal cell boost concept took mother nature as a role model. The result are substances that adapt to our organism and cell-system and support it naturally. There is no danger of toxification or overdoses as there is with botox-treatments. And, importantly for the client, there is no downtime or pain involved! www.smudgeproof.ie Tel: +353 (0) 1 877 0877 Email: info@ smudgeproof.ie

The Waverley Academy provides a World class training service when it comes to helping you achieve success in the beauty industry. From humble beginnings (a back bedroom in 1995), the Academy has progressed to become one of the largest and most trusted training providers in Ireland. There are currently six Waverley colleges: five in Dublin and their newly opened Cork training college. The Waverley Academy has been lauded for its strong work ethic fuelled environment; but also for its friendly approach. This is due, in part, to the fact that it is a family run college with thirteen family members working at the core of the business. Their focus on customer care and quality assurance is unsurpassed, with twentyfive top quality trainers on hand to ensure the smooth running of programme delivery. Principal Derek O’Kelly reflects on why their programmes are so popular: “It’s simple. We provide world class standards and excellent value for money. Five years ago we started a process in researching best practice in our industry around the globe. Our aim was to surpass anything that was on offer and become the most trusted training provider in the country; and we’ve achieved it. We’ve invested almost three million Euros in reaching the goal, but it’s been worth it. Our investment in best practice really paid off this year and elevated us to one of the top performing colleges in the country. Students who have completed recent exams achieved pass rates averaging grades of 99% from a total of 380 exams; an astonishing feat, and a reflection on the teaching and online learning facilities which we provide. If you enrol on a programme with us you can be assured it is the best standard around. We have thirteen people dedicated to the smooth running of customer service and course delivery; no other college provides this level of service. We provide the best value for money in the country and allow students to spread their fees over monthly instalments.” What are the latest courses on offer?: Advanced Skincare At TWA The Waverley Academy has announced two new advanced programs for beauticians at their Dublin college.

ADVERTORIAL

New Model Army

With standards in question and an increasingly litigious public, Pulsar Treatments has now taken the lead in the education of IPL / Laser technology. We take a look at their masterplan. June Lane, MD of Pulsar Treatments International, is Chair of NSAI National Mirror Committee for CEN TC 409 – the European Standard for Beauty Salon Services. This standard involves thirty-one European countries, in total, and will be completed in 2014. Although this is a voluntary standard, it has become evident that this type of selfregulation is badly needed within the beauty industry to help to raise standards. Standards can only be raised through the correct education of beauty therapists, from the beginners right up the ranks. With recent changes in the industry, it is becoming clear that therapists will have to have their full qualifications to gain insurance in the future. This is why Pulsar Treatments has devised educational packages to make sure colleges have the correct level of knowledge and back-up teaching material to teach IPL / Laser Technology within a college situation. They are one of the only manufacturers / distributors in the world to offer college

packages which include: V Risk assessment V Client care communication treatment plan V Hair reduction treatment plan V Skin treatments, treatment plan V Theory of hair structure / type V Skin ageing and disorders V Schemes of work V Suggested lesson plan V Suggested teaching plan V Case study format; and V Ongoing support Unfortunately, there has been an increase in the number of legal cases arising from IPL and laser treatments. One of the reasons for this is the massive influx of equipment from the Far East,that promise results they cannot deliver. Usually these machines come with little or no training or back-up. Once therapists have paid their money, they are not able to get hold of the manufacturer. The technology inside these machines is often very unsophisticated and can lead to burns or poor treatment results.

Due to lack of regulation for equipment of this type, it has never been more important to get it right. All Pulsar IPL equipment is made in Wales, with the business having office bases in Dublin and Manchester. Two years ago VTCT, the Vocational Training Charitable Trust, who are the largest awarding body for our industry, commissioned Pulsar Treatments to develop Level 4 (Level 6 in Ireland) QCF qualifications in laser and light treatments. Pulsar has also trained in the top eight ITEC examiners in the world on this technology. Another World first for Pulsar Treatments (through the VTCT) is the fact that they can offer full Level 6 qualifications to any salon / clinic on your premises. If you already own a Pulsar IPL system or wish to purchase one, they will guide you through this process with their expert team of trainers and assessors.

Irish Warpaint

We take a look at the make-up artistry of Belfast based MUA, Marijanna Martin. Marijanna has used the iconic Mata Hari and mystic arcane arts as her inspiration. 36•••••Beauty Professional Ireland



Irish Warpaint

Marijanna says: “I have always loved make-up. Some of my earliest memories are of going through my mum’s make-up box. She used luxury products such as Biba and Mary Quant, so it is no surprise that my first serious job was working for the luxury brand: Yves Saint Laurent. After five years I left to pursue my own make-up career. I realised that in order to really go after what I wanted in life, I had to throw myself into it. I made my debut as a creative MUA in August 2012 at Ciara Daly’s ‘Shaz Awards’. This was my first competition and I was thrilled to take home the trophy for ‘Creative Make-Up Artist of the Year’. I also won my next competition at the Professional Beauty Ireland Show in Dublin 2012. I love entering competitions, as it’s a fantastic chance to bring to life the ideas I have had in my mind for a while.” Marijanna has also just launched her own range of false eyelashes called: ‘Metamorphosis’.

Who was Mata-Hari? Mata-Hari was a Dutch born exotic dancer, socialite and courtesan of the early 20th century. She became famous before World War I for her captivating dance routines and exotic outfits - or the lack thereof! She was found guilty in 1916 of spying for the German government and was executed by firing squad. There was uproar at the time that she was innocent. However, in 1970 documents from German archives proved that she was, indeed, a German spy!

Bridal Feature

Brides or Zillas? Jennifer Rock takes a look at preparing yourself for the bridal season. The first of a two-part bridal focus.

Bride. It is such a short simple word. But, it carries so much weight and emotion sometimes, let’s face it! I’m not tarring all brides with the ‘Bridezilla’ brush, because it’s simply not the case each time. However, every bride, regardless of how low-key an affair they are having, wishes for her day to run without a hitch whilst, at the same time, looking effortlessly flawless, demure and elegant. It is a great and ‘once in a lifetime’ opportunity to introduce the shy blinkered bride to a world of romanticised (results driven) treatments. How can we, from a business perspective, poach this niche and deep-pocketed market? The euro signs flashing in our eyes should be still be present; but we should ultimately keep an eye on the quality of our offerings! Treatment wise, it opens up a top-to-toe package: facial packages for a dewy illuminous appearance, pedicures, manicures, hair treatments, lash extensions, brow treatments, IPL / Laser, Keratosis Pilaris treatments for the back of the upper arms (show me an Irish women without that spotty, corned beef effect), body scrubs and slimming detox cellulite courses. I’m out of breath! The list is endless; it is effectively EVERY treatment in your brochure that a bride should be investing in for optimum results for her fairytale day! First Part of the Bridal Plan: Try and entice the bride to go to you for long term treatments (three months to six months). What should these treatments be? Well, if we take a step 50•••••Beauty Professional Ireland

back and think about the areas of the body that are typically exposed on a classic bride: the face, neckline, upper décolletage, arms and hands. Hands, for instance, are a vital part of the ceremony from the lighting of the candles, exchanging rings, signing the register to holding hands. The photographer is often in a ‘snap happy hand frenzy’ throughout the day! Manicured nails are not sufficient, as the entire hand needs to appear rejuvenated. One manicure will rarely suffice, try to incorporate a series of manicures and hand treatments into your treatment scheme. Your bride should look like a hand model by the end! From a business perspective, advertise bridal packages as opposed to individual treatments. Promote Hen packages to spread awareness for all steps of this journey. Include an example of treatment schedules, so that they are aware of the time commitment. Clever marketing would include advertising a hierarchy scale: basic, supreme or elite packaging. Most brides will not settle for the basic option! I will chat about the finishing touches in the next installment of ‘Brides – Or Zillas?’

The Business of Beauty

Keeping It Real In our digital age is face-to-face networking becoming defunct? Absolutely not, says our Business Expert, Liz McKeon. Salon sales are frequently developed through the relationships we have created with other people. Networking functions provide the opportunity to expand our contact list; particularly when we create and nurture quality relationships. Every networking event you attend has tremendous potential for new salon leads. To make networking profitable for your salon:

1

Choose the right networking group or event.

The best results come from attending the appropriate networking events for your salon business: including trade shows, conferences and industry associations.

2

Focus on quality contacts - versus quantity.

Don’t be the person who, while talking keeps an eye on the room, seeking their next victim – this individual is more interested in passing out and collecting business cards than establishing a relationship. Focus on the quality of the connection and on getting people to know and trust you.

3

Make a positive first impression.

You will not get a second chance to make a first impression. Factors that influence this are handshake, facial expressions, eye contact, interest in other people and overall attentiveness. Develop a good handshake, a genuine smile and make great eye contact. Make a powerful impression by asking them what they do, before talking about yourself or your business.

4

Be able to clearly state what you do.

Develop a ten second introduction as well as a thirty second presentation. The introduction explains what you do and for whom. The introduction should encourage the other person to ask for more information. When they do, you recite your thirty second presentation allowing you to elaborate about the type of new business you are seeking.

52•••••Beauty Professional Ireland

5

Follow up after the event - as this is the most important aspect of your relationship building strategy.

Immediately after the event send an email to the people you’ve met. Mention the conversation and express an interest to keep in contact. After a couple of weeks arrange to meet for a coffee. This gives you the opportunity to learn more about one another’s businesses – this is not a sales meeting, it is a relationship building meeting. Remember that you are your business. The impression that you make on people is that of your salon / beauty business, so make it good and memorable. Don’t hog the conversation and don’t say just anything in order to say something publicly. Remember, saying one really smart thing will make you much more memorable than a half an hour of semi-conscious small talk. Be distinctive, fully present and aware of the people you interact with. Being fully engaged helps you to stand out, if there are a lot of people at the event. For networking to be effective you must take a genuine interest in other people. Remember to reinforce your key words – your name, salon name and location; the services and products you specialise in providing. Anything you say that reinforces one of these four items helps to make you more memorable. Networking produces new clients and sales results. The more people that know about you and your salon, and the more they trust you, the greater the chance they will want to become your client and be a source of referrals for your salon.

Salon Review

Mizu’s Charm

We sent Trinity Archeology student, Alison Jacob, to Mizu in Dundalk to unwind after her exams! University can be very stressful at times, with exam results on the horizon and essay deadlines looming. So when I was asked if I would like to review the Mizu Sanctuary, which is in my hometown of Dundalk, I jumped at the chance. I was led into their relaxation room by a friendly and soft spoken therapist. The diminished lighting, relaxing music and beautiful aroma of ylang ylang and bergamot immediately worked on my stressed out senses and I decided that I was going to turn my phone and my mind off. I was allowing myself a bit of a break which didn’t involve the Buttery Bar! Magazines, tea, coffee and fresh water are offered to make you as comfortable as possible. Orla Gorman introduced herself as my beauty therapist and brought me into a beautifully furnished treatment room. She asked me what type of oil and pressure I would like and if I was comfortable. Although Mizu has a wide range of massage oils available, I opted for the Dermalogica Energising Oil in the hopes that it would boost my body, which was exhausted from my early morning starts. During the massage, the room was sufficiently dark, only lit by candles with gentle music playing in the background. The bed provided was remote controlled, so I could be elevated – and let down gently. I felt that this was excellent, particularly for the elderly or injured. The massage was exceptionally calming but sufficiently firm. It helped to transfer me into a kind of zen like state where exams were a distant memory! I relaxed 54•••••Beauty Professional Ireland

afterwards and got ready for my next treatment. Returning to the front entrance, I felt I was leaving a peaceful sanctuary. I continued my treatment with Orla by getting my nails done in their nail bar. Here the décor is white and airy, a contrast to the darker, mysterious spa. The ranges of colours are lined up on shelves so the task of choosing is very visible. She began with a protein coat as my nails are slightly weak. My nails were then finished with two coats of OPI nail polish and ended with a lovely glossy overcoat. To finish, I selected to have my eyes and lip waxed. This was done in a private room which had excellent lighting. Every consideration was given to what I wanted and because I am very particular about my eyebrows - she explained that she would keep the shape of the brow that I liked. The Lycon Wax used was superb and nearly pain free by the addition of oil on the area before use and the cooling moisturiser used afterwards. I absolutely loved my two and a half hours in Mizu. It really helped clear my head and relaxed me physically. My friends commented on my nails and brows and thought I looked fantastic. I noticed that Mizu has some really great packages for half-day pampering, weddings; and one that took my particular interest as a student - the ‘Glam Chick Package’. It includes: a hair wash and blow-dry, finger nail file and paint, toe nail file and paint and a make-up application including a full set of false eyelashes for just €80. So my mates and I are planning a return visit very soon! It’s a tough life being a student!

My Hero

It’s often the MUAs themselves who create the best tools in the business! Ciara Daly showcases her new foundation brush, the ‘Hero Brush’, from her upcoming expert brush range.

We all know about the vast array of brushes that are out on the market; the choice can be overwhelming and confusing. Which one for what, what type of hair, natural or synthetic - the list goes on and on. Out of necessity, Ciara Daly has made it her mission to simplify make-up brushes. She has created a brand of brushes, which are of the highest quality, but are also easy to use and understand. She launches the first of her brushes at this month’s Irish beauty show with the ultimate in foundation brushes the: ‘Hero Brush’. Up until now we have always used the regular foundation brushes that most brands sell, but it is time to move out of the way for something a little more innovative. “With the old type of brush, I felt like I was painting a wall! It was too time consuming and tended to leave brush strokes, which took even longer to blend in. My new foundation brush is designed to deliver liquid foundation quickly and effectively to give a flawless finish. Once you try it you will feel lost without it!” says Ciara. The success of this brush has been phenomenal already before it has even been officially launched, with Ciara’s make-up students spreading the word to friends and family, sales are already huge! It seems to be the latest cult make-up bag must-have. To order, go to: www.ciaradaly.com

Naturamatics

We take a look at Naturamatics, an organic skincare company, created by Dublin based Aromatherapist and Beauty Specialist, Susan Kelly. What is Naturamatics? Naturamatics is a certified organic skin care company based in Co. Dublin, Ireland. Naturamatics is one of the first companies in Ireland to be certified organic and this is an important factor for the founder of the company, Susan Kelly.

What are the products all about? The range is centred on the quality of the organic raw materials in the products, and this is paramount to the increasing success of the brand. Clever marketing is not something that Naturamatics thrives on, but rather the quantative amounts of the purest and unadulterated cold pressed oils, virgin waxes and essential oils that will have real benefits to the skin. The company also incorporates knowledge of the body’s internal systems and how they effect the skin externally, choosing

ingredients for different skin types for their antidotal effect on inflammation and skin problems. Why a holistic approach? Our skin’s health and symptoms gives us a clear indication of disarray within our internal systems. This is an opportunity to address matters holistically, incorporating the correct skincare and lifestyle changes. Naturamatics enjoys mixing various holistic diagnostic techniques like ayurvedic skin mapping, nutrition and naturopathic principles, into finalising the suitability of each raw material to suit the different skin types and problem.

Nutrition Feature

The Digestion Connection Did you know that skin conditions are linked to digestive health? Judith Cooper, our resident nutritionist, explains the correlation… If you are familiar with the uncomfortable feeling of sluggishness and bloating after meals, if you suffer from skin conditions such as acne or eczema; then improving your digestive system can help to reduce symptoms. Digestion is the process of breaking down large ingested particles of food into smaller components that can be absorbed and used by your body to support it functions. Digestion uses both mechanical processes such as chewing and grinding, (which help separate the different types of molecules), as well as chemical processes in the form of enzymes, to release small nutrients into your system. Symptoms of poor digestion can include: bloating, bad breath, constipation, diarrhoea, frequent belching or passing wind; along with heartburn after eating and poor skin. If you are experiencing any severe symptoms, consult your GP first, to rule out any underlying health problems. Start to improve your digestion by going back to basics: V Chew your food properly. This is such a simple yet vital factor for good digestion. Many of us are too busy to slow down and chew our food properly when eating. It is important to chew food until there is practically nothing left in your mouth! 58•••••Beauty Professional Ireland

Chewing food well, increases the surface area for absorption of nutrients through the digestive system. The breakdown of carbohydrates also starts in the mouth through amylase present in saliva, so slow down and take your time when eating. V Ensure that you are eating a varied diet full of fresh fruit, vegetables and very few refined products. This will help to ensure that you are getting the vitamins and minerals needed for the digestive processes. Zinc, for example (found in seafood, meat, seeds and cooked dried beans, peas and lentils), is an important mineral in digestive enzyme production. V Drink plenty of water throughout the day, and eat wholegrain carbohydrates to prevent constipation. Water consumption is important for skin health also, as it helps to flush toxins out of the system that can lead to skin problems, if left to accumulate. V Increasing good gut bacteria can help with bloating and IBS symptoms. Good bacteria can be found in natural live yogurt, sauerkraut, miso, tofu and sourdough bread. You can also supplement a probiotic from a good health food shop to help reintroduce good bacteria into the digestive tract. V Relieve stress as much as possible. Stress is known for its detrimental effect on the digestive system and can cause skin problems. Do whatever it is that works for you - like yoga, going for a walk or meeting a friend to talk through a problem. V Ginger and peppermint are both known for aiding in digestion. Try having in herbal tea form after a meal to calm the digestive system.

Salon Wise

The Neigh-ggling Truth The Beauty Stig goes on an equine-inspired rant... If you’re a dyed-in-the wool carnivore, like I am, you’ve probably been eating horse for a good few years now off the barbi, barely chewed and washed down with some form of alcohol. Ah barbi…. Anyway, my point is not about what’s been passing off as horse dressed up as beef these last few years; my point is whether YOU, my friend, have been passing yourself off as the more traditional ‘mutton dressed up as lamb’ analogy. Are you up- to-date with everything you need to know about your beauty speciality? Do you moan and gripe to yourself that a colleague has more skills than you, or is better able to communicate with clients? Do you lord it over your younger members of staff that you’re the boss; ignoring the fact that you, might just, have lost touch with the nitty gritty of the business? Do you ever look at the latest research in ‘bad’ ingredients

and checklist them against what is in the products you use, promote and sell? Times change, methods change, promotional practices and computer programmes change. We are certain of one thing in this life: change. You have to embrace it. While I can certainly embrace the change that I may not be eating horse in the future, I am definitely resigned to the fact that some other animal DNA, other than our filly friends; of probably lesser quality, will be inhabiting the next burger I eat. I have no problem (drunkenly) stuffing that same old burger in my face after the pub. That’s my choice.

Legal Laser Whitening For Salons Earn up to €89,000 per year There are so many Dublin based make-up training schools, so it’s refreshing that Avant Garde Make-up Academy & Studio are located a little north, in Drogheda. Emma Woods is the proprietor and director at Avant Garde. Emma adopts a multi-faceted approach to her enterprise, simultaneously developing new products, organising photo-shoots, liaising with models and photographers, whilst keeping her business in touch and well informed on the make-up scene. Emma is trained in High Fashion, Bridal, Media, Theatrical, TV / Film and Special Effects make-up and worked as a Make-up Artist for MAC Cosmetics in Brown Thomas. Since then, Emma has travelled globally and has established an impressive portfolio working across the editorial, catwalk and music industries. She has built up an impressive client list working in many areas of make-up including fashion, advertising, TV and music. Emma is a regular backstage fixture at fashion weeks in London. The college currently runs eight courses from basic to advanced (theatrical / Film make-up), bridal to airbrushing. Take a look at some of the work of Emma’s Students and the very funky training rooms in the Academy! For more information, check out: , Tel: +353 (0 )41 98 44442. Or Email: Emma@avantgardemakeup.ie
