Editor's Note Dear Readers,

Nominated for Best Business to Business Magazine of 2012

Welcome to this very wintery issue! Make sure you have a cuppa in hand and have a good peruse through this issue's Christmas gift ideas, as well as our festive make-up tips from Ken Boylan, hair tips from Dylan Bradshaw and our HR Christmas section, which does put a little bit of a sobering air on our happy Christmas buzz - after all the party season can lead to, let's just say certain confusion!

Liz McKeon talks about dealing with negative customer issues that can sometimes (unfortunately) arise. Bronwyn Conroy reminds us to be helpful to clients, and you can do this by giving them excellent tips for the New Year.

I'm sure you all agree that the Professional Beauty Show back in October was fantastic! We feature the winner of the SFX category MUA, Therese McMenamy in our ever popular Warpaint section.

On a personal note, I am delighted to announce that I have been nominated in the category of 'Editor of the Year - Business to Business' in the prestigious Irish Magazine Awards 2013. The nomination is a reflection of all our hard work over the last year, and it has put everyone in the office in great form! I would like to thank my fantastic boss, MD Chris Dunican, our fabulous design team Ruth Gunning and Rob Lewis from Minx Design and our wonderful Sales Manager, Linda Horan. We make a great team!

We all wish you a Happy Christmas and profitable 2014!

2012

Love, Lucy

AIRBASE – AN X FACTOR MUST-HAVE Airbase High Definition Airbrush Make-up is the make-up of choice for Julia Carta, Chief Make-up Artist/Designer for X Factor 2013. Julia and her team use Airbase products solely to give the contestants a beautiful, flawless, HD finish on the X Factors live shows.

The intense heat of the lights on stage has meant that the X Factor team needed a heat and water resistant make-up, and Airbase is perfect for the this purpose. With particles so small, Airbase gives fine, even coverage (conceals and covers all imperfections) and has already transformed the skin of each contestant, leaving them with a flawless finish.

Airbase’s Lloyd Naaké said “We are delighted to be working with such a respected celebrity industry expert as Julia Carta and her X Factor team. Airbase is perfect for HD TV as we’ve worked hard on the formula, which is thought to be one of the best on the market. Throughout the ten weeks it will leave the contestants with the most flawless finish and really make the skin truly come alive under camera.”

Julia Carta tweeted: “@Julia_Carta. Been working magic with @MariamJensen & @MoiyaSaintTan today using @ AirBaseMakeUp! #xfactorbeauty www.airbasemakeup.com

Beauty Professional Voices

The Waxer BPI recently caught up with Australian master waxer, Juanita Bennett, Head Training Development Officer at Caron/Waxxxpress. Waxxxpress is distributed in Ireland by Baam Cosmetics What can a client expect from a Caron/ Waxxxpress master class?

An intensive waxing course that covers all aspects of strip and hard waxing; we teach them to move and work cleanly and to make sure the client lays back, relaxes and enjoys the Express Experience.

In the one-on-one training you will learn the Lilliane Caron Signature Treatment, which consists of the Secret Garden and Butterly Movements; techniques that amaze therapists!

What difference is there between Waxxxpress and other brands that you have used before?

Waxxxpress products are made from the finest ingredients available so they cause no allergic reaction for even the most sensitive of clients. Because of the refined formulations, the therapist will enjoy user friendly, pliable yet strong waxes that will not go brittle.

Do better waxing techniques lead to less ingrown hairs in your experience?

Yes. A combination of our waxes, techniques and the ingredients we use ensures less irritation and better hair removal all round. For those who are prone to ingrown hairs, we have the perfect solution – Bump eRaiser. Bump eRaiser is a product range that really helps to treat and prevent ingrown hairs regardless of whether the client is waxing, shaving or using any other type of hair removal system.

What bad waxing habits do you come across?

Generally, I find the following bad habits in salons and spas around the World: • Only using either strip or hard wax - both types of waxes must be used; • Bruising and marking the skin by not supporting the skin, and not knowing the wax they are using inside and out; • Not keeping a hard core in the pot when using hard 14•••••Beauty PROFESSIONAL IRELAND

• •

waxes. If the hard core is melted through your hard wax is far too hot; Not consistently topping up wax pots; Not knowing how to use a spatula correctly, once you have this mastered you’ll be able to wax even faster; Not removing wax residue from surfaces and pots in between clients; and Dirty and messy waxing rooms.

How was the Professional Beauty Show for you?

Fabulous! We launched our powder World 1st powered wax Masqua at the Expo, and therapists were amazed at the results and could feel the difference. We also launched our Quick Dry Mist, which everyone loved, this product touch dries hard wax so no sticky fingers!

Anne Woods from BAAM Cosmetics and her wonderful team welcomed us and treated us fantastically.

The stand was a buzz as we were doing non-stop demonstrations and answering so many questions.

Therapists were lining up; eager to know more.

It was a truly brilliant show. Do check out waxxxpress.com/ie for course details, or go to baamcosmetics.ie.

New Year…

New You! While we’re all on a Christmas ‘buzz’, beauty expert Bronwyn Conroy reminds us to start your client’s New Year on the right footing, with some New Year beauty resolutions: As Christmas is the busiest time of the year in the salon, it is a good idea to give clients a list of beauty resolutions for the New Year, to encourage them to start 2014 with the best of intentions.

To entice people in the door in the quieter months of January and February, show them you care by giving out flyers with some beauty resolution tips (below) for the New Year, along with some special promotions.

Beauty Resolutions: V Detox make-up bags; most make- up bags are a breeding ground for bacteria. Brushes and sponges should be washes regularly in warm soapy water. Pop make-up bags in the washing machine and discard any old bits of make-up that you no longer use.

V Commit to cleansing your face properly twice a day. In the morning use a gentle foaming wash to cleanse the skin of sebum secreted during the night, and in the evening follow your three-step cleanse, tone and moisturise to fully remove make-up and hydrate the skin.

V SPF should be used all year round, if you’re not doing this already - start the New Year using a minimum of SPF30 daily.

V Body-brush daily before your morning shower to detoxify impurities, boost circulation and break down cellulite. Use a natural bristle brush starting at the feet and working up towards the heart. This is a very effective treatment when done for two minutes daily that doesn’t cost the earth.

V Update your make-up; most women have been applying their make-up the same way for years. Get out of a make-up rut by getting a professional makeover and picking up some new product ideas and tips.

V Increase your water intake to 2.5 litres a day.

Water is essential to flush out toxins and keep the skin looking supple and healthy.

Forty-five to seventy per cent of a person’s total body weight is made up of water so it is vital to keep fluid levels topped up.

At least one of your skincare products should be glycolic based to promote a more uniform skin appearance and to ease fine lines, breakouts and dark spots.

Care for your cuticles, applying cuticle oil is the last thing on a busy woman’s mind but massaging cuticle oil into the cuticles and nails increases the circulation to the area, promoting healthy growth and preventing dry, brittle nails.

Feed your face; invest in a good day and night cream to nourish and hydrate your skin.

Also look at skin supplements to nourish your skin from the inside out.

Eyebrows frame the face and accentuate the eyes, they can also lift the eyes if they are shaped properly. Let them grow for four weeks and get them professionally shaped and tinted. This can take years off the face.

Book in for a skin consultation to ensure that you are using the right products for your skin type and treatments for your skin.

Party Looks

From Office To Dancefloor Celebrity Make-up Artist, Ken Boylan, shows you how to get clients festive ready in a very short time!

If you want to go from this … to this in a few very easy steps, please read on!

So, your client has been working late on the big night of the year - the staff party!

Here are four things you can do as an MUA to bring your client’s day make-up to a fabulous Christmas night look!

A night out that could be a late one needs a long-lasting foundation. My award-winning cream-to-powder foundation (E28.00) works for this. I find cream foundations are great for touch-ups too. I always apply it with a foundation brush.

With a good black pencil eyeliner, line the inner rim of the eye. This brings a day look to a foxy night look, and if you pat over it with a black eye shadow, it will stay all night.

My black eyeliner in onyx (E15.00) and eye shadow in tar (E12.50) are great for this.

Add a bit of bling. I mean use a face highlighter - not apply jewels! They come in many types, liquid, powder and cream. I find the cream the easiest one to apply. Use your fingers or a blush brush to apply it to your cheeks and bridge of the nose to give a shine.

The strobe lights in the nightclub would be proud! My face highlight in ‘Afterglow’ is perfect (E20.00).

Finally, change your lip colour from your day neutrals to your night pinks. Or, if you’re brave enough try a pillar-box red. I would always use a lip pencil before the lipstick, as it will stop it from bleeding.

22•••••Beauty PROFESSIONAL IRELAND

Apply this all over the lips and blend it in. Then put a generous amount of lipstick over the pencil and blot with a tissue - this will keep the lipstick off your teeth. You can add lip-gloss to this if you want to, but I like to just keep it to the lip liner and lipstick; we have tonnes of colours in the shop. One of my favourites is Veronica L (E20.00). Amazeballs!

Hair Professional Feature

Party Ready Celebrity Hair Stylist Dylan Bradshaw tells us how to do the classic Xmas up-do quick and easily 1. Up-styles can be done in three or four sections – Don’t make things too complicated for yourself!

It’s simple, classy and very flattering to most face shapes.

2. Section 1 – Make a ponytail by sectioning the hair from just below the crown of the hair and behind the ear on both sides. You will now have your top sections loose. While the bottom of the hair is in place.

3. Section 2 & 3 are created when using the natural parting of the hair, or sometimes I move the parting slightly lower in order to create a more dramatic look. Now that your parting is in place these will be you sections 2 & 3.

4. Backcomb section 2 (the side on which your parting sits) from root to tip and then brush out softly using the Shu Uemuru Anti-Static brush.

Place this section beside the pony tail in which you have already created and secure in place with a pin. Repeat this step for section 3. So when you have completed this part both sides of the parting will be placed and secured beside the ponytail.

5. To finish this look simply back-comb the entire ponytail and additional side pieces from root to tip, again smooth out using the paddle brush and place this in a circle around the base of the pony tail. You can braid this - be inventive! Always finish with a mist of L’Oreal Professional Infinium Hairspray for the ultimate hold!

Human Resources

The Festive Party Penisula Business Services examines the pitfalls of the Christmas party - what should be a festive time of the year, but can sometimes be a nightmare.

The Christmas party, a place to blow off steam and let your hair down. However, when alcohol is involved it is also possible that inappropriate behaviour will occur such as insulting conduct, unwanted sexual advances, etc.

There have been several cases in recent years which have found that an employer can be liable for employee actions at work-related social events.

Discrimination by employees The most common risk for employers is discrimination, as employees may engage in some discriminatory act towards another employee. In one such case, an employee was awarded �5,000 after he was verbally abused at a Christmas Party for being a Member of the Travelling Community.

In another case, a woman was awarded �12,000 after she was sexually harassed (an act of gender discrimination) at a Christmas Party by her General Manager. Key concerns in these cases were that: (a) the employers did not investigate the employees’ respective complaints, and (b) the employers did not have a policy as to how employees were to conduct themselves at the social events.

Discrimination by third parties Employers should also be wary of third party discrimination. An employee was awarded �21,000 in one case where she was sexually harassed by a third party at her place of work by a person who didn’t work for the employer. The nature of her work brought the employee into regular contact with this individual. Therefore, it was her work that led to this discriminatory behaviour.

Despite the fact that these incidences took place outside of work and in a separate venue, the crucial issue, in each case, was that the employer did not investigate the employee’s complaints.

Taking Pre-emptive Action Make sure that you have a clear contract of employment and employee handbook and that these documents contain clear policies on bullying, harassment, email and internet use and disciplinary procedures. Make sure that every 30•••••Beauty PROFESSIONAL IRELAND

employee is issued with a copy.

Issue a memo to all staff in advance of the event and explain that as the event is work-related, it will be subject to company rules and procedures.

Make sure that they are aware of the implications of subjecting the company to ridicule and the personal violation impact of uploading photos to social networks without other employees’ permission.

Steps that can be taken: V Ensure that your staff members are aware that they may be subject to disciplinary action for unacceptable behaviour.

V Remind staff to drink alcohol responsibly.

V Is the venue suitable? Ensure that the venue is safe from a health and safety perspective, bearing in mind its suitability for any disabled employee.

V Managers are advised to steer clear of inappropriate discussions about careers and salary increases.

V Appoint a designated person to take civilised photos at the work related event.

V Coach managers on how to respond to any unwanted conduct that may occur at the event.

V If any inappropriate behaviour occurs, take swift investigative action upon the resumption of work, especially where an employee has made a complaint, drawing reference to the company policies and guidelines.

V Employers should seek advice from Peninsula Business Services if they wish to take preemptive action in advance of the Christmas Party. Please phone their experts for advice on 1890 252 923

To ensure that your policies are up-to-date contact: Peninsula Business Services on 1890 252 923 and quote Beauty Professional Ireland Magazine for a free advice call.

AWARD WINNING BEAUTY THERAPIST JENNIFER ROCK TELLS US ABOUT HER TIPS TO GET BUMS ON BEDS THIS XMAS 1. Have an open/customer appreciation night; give back to those that have kept you in business all year. An added hour with free file and paints, a cuppa and some mince pies – a gesture that’s never broken anyone’s budgets.

2. Have a Facebook raffle over the Xmas period, while people are off, keep your salon’s name in their brain: ‘FREE makeover this New Year’s Eve’.

3. Send Facebook Christmas Cards/ Email Christmas cards, or alternatively, check online for great EBay card boxes to thank the reliable clients.

4. Approach nearby markets, community Santa visits, lights on ceremonies, etc. and have your salon’s name present.

5. Set up a make-up and blow dry offer with a local hairdresser, using the adage to: ‘shop local’.

6. Be cheery, be festive; people are attracted to warmth, so no ‘scrooges’ in salon - leave the attitude at the door!

7. Display the countdown to the big day openly in the shop front, on Facebook, and perhaps display a large advent calendar, this can highlight the few days left till the Big man himself comes down the chimney!

8. Shout about the days that are booked up, have it on Facebook, in the window, e.g: “The 23rd is all booked up ladies, and gents, pop in now to check all other availability” - make yourself be wanted.

9. Have some gift boxes on offer, not millions!

10. Perhaps educate people that you are willing to make bespoke packages for their loved ones 11. Have Bonus points, extra stamps/reward schemes for the month of December, to be recouped in January.

12. Dress festively, mistletoe earrings, etc. are easily sourced, glitter nails, red Rudolph nose, red cardigans instead of the mundane black – perhaps it may be deemed slightly tacky but a positive conversation starter.

The Business of Beauty

The Right Way Beauty Business Expert Liz McKeon asks the question: how do you deal with genuine customer complaints?

Do you want a client who has a genuine complaint to become a long-term lifetime client, or the ruination of your business and your career?

Even in the best run salons and spas accidents happen, treatments go wrong. Do you have your team trained and the systems in place to effectively deal with that dreaded genuine complaint?

Every salon has to deal with situations in which things go wrong from a client’s point of view. How you respond, when this happens, is the difference between having a nasty court case looming over you (and your reputation damaged), or retaining that client for life, adding to the bottom line of your business.

Complaints must be handled courteously, sympathetically and swiftly. Make sure that your salon has an established procedure for dealing with client complaints and that it is known to all your staff: receptionists, therapists, juniors and part-timers.

Notify your insurance broker, by phone immediately. Document the incident in writing for your broker, which will be sent to the insurance company, who will then send you claims forms for completion.

Tactics for dealing with the complaining client – the injured party: 1. Empathy - Understand that before you contact the complaining client, you can’t “win”.

Complaints are really just degrees of losing. Put yourself in the client’s shoes, so that you can get a better understanding of their perspective.

Reassure them that you care, understand and are listening to them, by allowing them to explain their situation.

2. Respect - Staying calm sends a message that you have respect for them, and it can be difficult to do this when an angry client is yelling at you. Remember their anger is not about you, they are upset about their situation and are taking it out on you.

44•••••Beauty PROFESSIONAL IRELAND

3. Apologise - Apologise for the inconvenience/ upset/time wasted, etc. rather than apologising for what has happened, especially if what actually happened is in dispute. Offering an apology, regardless of how you feel or what you can do about the situation, will alleviate some of the stress the client is feeling.

4. Take responsibility - If the mistake has been made by a member of your staff, take full responsibility and assist the client so that their problem is solved.

5. Insurance - Under no circumstances should you EVER open your salon doors to a client without insurance in place. You pay for insurance to give you peace of mind. In the event of a complaint ending up in court, with the right insurance cover in place, you avoid having to pay out, as this is what you’re paying your premium for. Running a beauty business without insurance, whether it’s mobile, home or salon based is nothing short of business suicide!

If you’re looking for decent premiums, then check out the myriad of providers that specialise in affordable cover for mobile therapists and salons.

6. Settlement - The hard part is the settlement of the complaint, and you will have to do some work here. The degree of loss is up to you. Most likely, you will end up giving away products, treatments, full refunds or whatever it takes. You owe it to yourself and your salon to salvage some type of relationship. Agree on an equitable solution, then you may still have that client for life, that adds to the bottom line in your business and most importantly, saves your salon’s reputation.

The choice is yours – equip your staff with the right procedures necessary to handle upset clients, arriving at positive solutions with satisfied clients who are happy to return because of the way their problem was handled, or wait for the dreaded claim against your salon to arrive in the post.

TRAINING WITH AIRBASE

NEW TEACHING PROGRAMMES AT TWA

Over the past three or four years a new name has appeared in the professional make-up world and with it, a new method of applying make-up. Put simply, makeup artists, celebs and blushing brides are talking about Airbase Make-Up and it’s the unique silicone formulation and an airbrush that’s causing the stir.

Airbrush make-up is actually nothing new – if you’re from the States. It has been kicking around since the days of leg warmers and a fresh-faced Madonna.

Flawless, quick to apply and pleasurable for the client or model, this ‘new’ application is now making waves in beauty salons, colleges and brides‘ bedrooms across the country, and the humming of compressors is now a regular sound in TV and Film make-up studios throughout the world.

Airbase offers a day-long introductory course in the technique. Priced at E180, but currently on offer at just E60, it is affordable and recognised by HABIA and VTCT (these are the guys that set the standards for training in hair and beauty in the UK). The course is great for make-up beginners, but is also loved by seasoned professionals who are looking to get into airbrushing. Just ask X Factor’s make-up artist Julia Carta who is using Airbase on this year’s contestants, Coronation Street’s Christopher Raine, Elton’s make-up artist Jamie Pritchard and one of Rihanna’s favoured few, Karen Darnell, all of whom have been through Airbase’s training school doors.

For further information on Airbase’s Introductory Airbrush course and Professional kits call + 44 115 9678691 or email flawless@airbasemakeup. com. Check out www.airbasemakeup.com for a course near you

The Waverley Academy has launched a new suite of teaching and educator Awards. The awards consist of the new ITEC Level 4 award in Education & Training (a first in Ireland), Presentation Skills That Sell, and a Brand Educators Award.

CHIC MINK LASHES - A GUILD ACCREDITED COURSE Charlotte Pollock, the driving force behind Chic Salon Supplies & Training Academy, holds a BTEC teaching qualification and currently runs Beauty Guild accredited courses throughout Ireland in semi-permanent eyelash extension application.

The course is comprehensive and runs over the duration of a full day, consisting of theory that covers everything from contraindications to legislation. A detailed training manual is provided and is a great reference guide to have in your salon.

The Kit and training costs €295.00. The kit is complete with all you require to start making a return once you have received your certificate. Additional products can be added to your kit when needed. All products can be purchased on line 24 hours a day with next day delivery on all orders placed prior to 2pm.

AROMATOUCH - A PERFECT TECHNIQUE

WAXXXPRESS MASTERCLASSES

Essential oils can be diffused in treatment rooms and reception areas, they can be included in any treatments for example: back massages, cellulite treatments, Indian head treatments, etc. Training in the general use of the oils is free with purchases of the oils. Becky Barney, a specialist aromatherapy trainer trains students twice a year in the Carlton Institute. “It’s not like any other treatment I’ve ever come across in all of my 30 years working in the Beauty & Holistic business,” says Helen Dunne of the Carlton Institute. “I teach body massage, hot stone, Indian head, basic aromatherapy, facial massage and sports massage, and the most common complaint therapists have is the stress it causes to their own bodies. Some therapists have to stop working due to Carpel tunnel syndrome, or back and shoulder pain. This treatment is amazing. The oils do all of the work, and the therapist feels energised after the treatment instead of exhausted. These oils are certified pure therapeutic grade. They are top of the range organic, Paraben free (of course), and in Europe and the USA they have FDA approval. The fact that they‘re devised by a medical doctor is a great backing to have for any treatment we can do in our clinics”.

The oils treat, pain, stress, mild depression, sciatica, headaches, excessively dry skin and insomnia.

Specialised waxing has been on the increase for the past four years and is set to be the hottest treatment for 2014. If you do not offer this treatment to Men already, you are missing out on a whole new clientele for your salon.

Waxxxpress is one of the number one specialised wax training academies in Ireland.

During their courses you will study theory, contraindications and of course the World famous Lilliane Caron Waxxxpress technique.

Female Specialised Wax courses cost €150 per course, while the Male Specialised Wax course costs €300. The course duration is ½ day and course dates are flexible, remember to bring two models on the day.

Spa Review

Sheen Falls Bliss BPI’s Editor Lucy Earley spent two blissful days in Sheen Falls recently…

The elevated lawn leading up to the Sheen Falls Lodge Hotel, a luxury five star outside Kenmare warmly invites you in. There are six other accommodation options as well as the hotel, including beautiful thatched cottages and villas.

On our arrival we were greeted by their friendly manager in the beautiful foyer area. We were then led through the wide and elegant corridors to the newly renovated Sheen Falls Signature Suite within the hotel, which would be our quarters for the next two days. It felt like we had been given half the ‘West Wing’, it was so large and luxurious.

Like many scenically located house hotels in Ireland, Sheen Falls Lodge literally started out as a hunting and fishing lodge for the landed gentry, under different Baronets. It was re-opened in 1991 as a five star hotel, retaining 18th Century inspired features from its origins.

It was late, and we were tired, but it didn’t stop us from heading into Kenmare, courtesy of the Sheen Falls complimentary mini-bus, to catch some live music in the local pubs. Later, back in the candlelit residents’ bar we enjoyed a nightcap.

After the best night’s sleep – in what seemed like months, we headed down to breakfast, which is held in the main restaurant, La Cascade. The restaurant overlooks the hotel’s namesake, the Sheen Falls. The sun shone in warmly on us as we indulged in a small cooked Irish breakfast each, amazing coffee and pastries. Wheat avoidance goes out the window when I’m on my holidays!

The Spa We headed down to the Sheen Falls Spa later on that morning. The treatment rooms in the beautifully laidout leisure area are havens of peace. We both opted for hour-long deep-tissue massages. Mags, my knowledgble and friendly therapist carried out my massage using rich and beautifully scented Voya oils. She went as deep as I 52•••••Beauty PROFESSIONAL IRELAND

needed and used muscle empowering techniques, which made me feel re-strengthened, as well as deeply relaxed.

My companion also enjoyed his massage; he needed the deeper tissue work his equally lovely therapist, Stephanie, carried out as he has some neck issues. Fully de-tensed; we luxuriated in the sauna, steamroom, jacuzzi and finally, the pool before we went for an afternoon jaunt out over Moll’s Gap and into Killarney.

The Food We were warmly greeted at the two AA Rosette awarded La Cascade for dinner that evening. Our sommelier showed us through our wine choices, and the waiting staff were attentive, but not obtrusive We spent the rest of the evening in a kind of haze of delighted reminiscence of what we had just eaten, soaking up the candle-lit luxury of the front rooms, bar and foyer.

I can’t fault Sheen Falls on anything - fabulous food, excellent spa treatments and above all the service is friendly and thorough.

They’re gearing up for the Christmas season and it’s well worth a look at for a yuletide escape, with excellent value included in the prices. And, believe me, it’s worth every penny - you will be very well looked after!

The show was packed with big names such as Dermalogica, Decléor, Payot, CND, just to name but a few, an extensive seminar programme, live demonstrations and two fantastic competitions.

Over 100 brands from every corner of the industry including: skincare, nails, make-up, tanning and beauty supplies chose Professional Beauty Dublin as the site for their new launches.

Both exhibitors and visitors declared the event a success. Visitors were wowed with the variety of products on offer, while the steady numbers through the doors impressed exhibitors.

“We had a great show, a lot of new customers for our Lipo Firm + machine, and we opened a very good amount of new accounts for our brands Decleor and Payot,” commented Graham Quinn, Owner of Graham Anthony.

Sam Willis, Marketing Co-Coordinator at Dermalogica, said: “Professional Beauty Dublin enabled us to make new connections with students and business owners and networks with our existing accounts.”

Developing skills Professional Beauty Dublin is more than just an exhibition. Showing its dedication to raising industry standards, Professional Beauty provided a fantastic seminar programme taking place across two live stages bringing business advice, product news, cutting edge trends and new advancements from the industry delivered by carefully selected experts, doctors, beauty therapists and business owners.

The seminar stage hosted Irish favourites such as Liz McKeon and Catherine Trebble - providing insights into running a successful beauty business. The live stage presented the latest product launches and innovations from an array of speakers such as Sujata Jolly, medical director at Clinogen, demonstrating the latest advanced hair removal techniques and NSI’s head educator, Louisa Flanagan, talking about the newest nail art ideas spreading across the market.
