So, from us all in Beauty Professional Ireland Magazine thank you! Optimism. I love that word. It was very low on the ground for so long. Now, it seems to be renewed. Yes, we all have the fear that the past will repeat itself, but hard work and good strategising are two attributes we should never be scared or ashamed of. I would like to bring your attention to the pull-out Skincare Supplement, which reports on new launches and stories from esteemed professional skincare companies. In this supplement we look at the established skincare brands we all love and showcase some new brands introducing themselves to the market for the first time. So, if you’re thinking of taking on an additional skincare range (an activity that many salons are currently engaging in) Skincare 2014 is here to assist you in making an informed choice. With this issue we have our amazing wallplanner for 2014, which is free to all our readers. Make sure to pin it up in a prominent space in your salon or room, as it will serve you well during 2014. You can plan staff holidays, your visits to upcoming trade shows, make daily reminder notes and use it to plan the special days that your business should prepare for such as Valentine’s Day, Easter, etc. On this year’s planner there is a useful numbers section, which will enable you to have easy access to phone numbers you will need to use during the year. In addition to this, you will find around the planner many suppliers’ contact details, each of whom supply professional product for your beauty business. Again, thank you for your continued attention and support and I am excited to be working with you all in 2014! Have a happy, busy and profitable 2014! Love,

It’s also designed for speed. It has a 10-, 20and 30-second timer built in, an easy-to-remove base so that curing pedis on the floor is a piece of cake and it comes with a protective cover to block external light for a better, more controlled cure. We’ve also designed it with an external transformer on the plug so you can use this light anywhere in the world (all you need is an adaptor and a passport).

We can’t decide whether our LED light is just a light or if it’s a time machine. Because with this new technology, you can cut about 20 minutes curing time off one set. In a surprisingly compact design, our LED light offers superior heat management, energy efficiency, and extreme reliability and durability. Even the bulbs themselves are built to last. Which is why LED curing lights are the choice of the professional nail tech. And they make a big difference in working with mani•Q color and soak-off gels.

The award winners are chosen in a voting process by spa industry experts along with readers of American Spa Magazine.

Boldejarre is responsible for developing the treatments and products, and his passion is contagious.

Beauty Professional Voices

Brow-Out BPI Editor Lucy Earley visited Elysian Brows on South William Street to check out the smart services the brow bar offers.

Elysian Brows was in full festive swing when I arrived to get a brow re-shape. The brow bar offers a fast-fix brow treatment, which is actually designed to shape your brows to their best natural shape over a period of time. With repeated visits your brows will grow where they need to grow, and retain the correct groomed look for their shape. My own brow grooming was an education in itself. Salon manager, Claudine Morrin, showed me where I was going wrong, and what needed to change. I was pretty delighted with the results after a thorough threading and shaping. My brows are now perfectly symmetrical (I didn’t realise that there were slight discrepancies in their alignment, but there you go!). Claudine trained with owner Libby Ryan when they were originally based on Dawson Street. (They were there for four years.) They re-located to South William Street five months ago. A wise move, in my opinion; South William Street is shaping-up to be the grooming strip of Dublin. From a purely business point of view I loved the layout of Elysian Brows. The brow bar is placed at the back of the front-facing reception area. The reception area itself is comfy; with a coffee machine and a chaise longue-style couch. Other Offerings Below ground, Elysian has a nail bar, make-up/ eyelash area and a tanning area. There is a shower 14•••••Beauty PROFESSIONAL IRELAND

available for busy people who need to shower after work and don’t have time to head home first. A nice, simple touch. Elysian Brows also offers Yon-Ka facials and aftercare products for retail. So think of all the services a busy woman or man needs on a Friday night, while they’re killing time before their night out, and you’ve got an mix of services and aftercare, which are carefully crafted - and in my opinion very clever.

The Business of Beauty

T.E.A.M

Beauty Business Expert, Liz McKeon asks, do you have the right team? All salons and spas need to look at how work is organised in a positive way to help pull through tough periods. Different times call for bold and brave thinking. Do you have the right team, working together to achieve your business goals? The TEAM (Together Everyone Achieves More) concept is a very powerful one because when team members work together for the good of all, the good of the salon and its clients, everyone achieves more. Simply put, working together works! Teams are complex machines, and it’s not surprising that they malfunction occasionally, or need re-alignment and teambuilding. For your salon team to work effectively, you need agreement on exactly what sort of team you are: what are your salon goals, what’s each therapist’s role, who needs to work closely with whom? Sometimes it’s as simple as learning more about the people you work with, and sometimes it’s more complicated. But the bottom line is, it is almost impossible to have a financially successful salon without a happy team working together – in other words, it’s less ‘me’ and more ‘we’! Here are some positive aspects of teamwork: Goal Orientated: The highest priority for team members is achieving the team’s goals. Does every member of your team know and understand your salon/spa’s financial and business goals? To function effectively, members of a team must be flexible, trust one another, and support every member of the group in its progress towards achieving a successful salon. Collaboration Collaboration is a big benefit when team members pull well together. They want the team to shine and be successful; they willingly invest themselves in the team effort. Communication: When therapists, receptionists and managers have all learned to support and trust one another, they 22•••••Beauty PROFESSIONAL IRELAND

share what they know freely and communication becomes another benefit. The way people communicate with one another (both in words and nonverbal clues) reflects how they feel about working with one another, but it also builds the team’s effectiveness. Excellent communication is conducive to staff working productively without misunderstandings. Better Decisions: Decisions and solutions are made with everyone generating more options. Group decisions are usually better than what even the brightest person could come up with alone. The entire team learns to pitch in for the highest good of the salon. Quality: There is more concern for achieving quality and accuracy, because therapists feel they are an important and vital part of a team effort. They want the team and your salon to look as good as possible. In addition, because team members work collaboratively, they ensure that each member gets what she wants from the team to turn out the best possible treatments and service. Do you want your clients leaving feeling happy and satisfied, looking forward to returning and happy to recommend your salon to their friends? Then make sure your team are working effectively. Today, more than ever, it is vital for the success and survival of your salon that all employees work well in a team environment. Coming together is a beginning, Keeping together is progress, Working together is success. Henry Ford

Hair 2014

Get a feel for what’s hot, product wise, in 2014.

BLONDE IN 2014 Celebs change their hair colour like we change our shoes; it’s hard to keep up! Blonde is in for 2014 with many trend followers copying Kim Kardashian’s recent blonde tone. To change Kim’s hair JOICO Celebrity Hair Colourist George Papanikolas started by lifting Kim’s base with JOICO Vero K-Pak Color Base Breaker Cool + 20-volume developer. Next he placed heavy slice foil highlights 2 ½ cm and 5 cm off of the root, using JOICO VeroLight + 30-volume developer. “I didn’t want the hair to look ‘rooty’,” George explained, “so I created a V-shape at the top of each highlight section. This technique eliminates the appearance of a hard line of regrowth and gives the colour natural looking depth and contrast.” After lifting the hair to pale blonde, George finished with a glaze of JOICO Vero K-Pak Chrome V9 + activator to keep Kim’s new blonde hue super cool.

RE-GROWTH

IT’S A REMEDY

With hair-thinning becoming an endemic problem for men and women, the Cliniscalp range fuses the power of proven botanicals with advanced hair care science to create stylist-backed solutions for thinning hair. Whether hair is chemically treated or natural, in the early or advanced stages of thinning, the 3-step Cliníscalp daily regime ensures an optimal scalp environment to maximise hair’s natural growth potential. It works by:

After the stresses of the festive season many clients need a good moisturising masque and scalp massage. Aveda has brought out a range of ultra-moisturising products - The Dry Remedy Range. Buriti Oil is a rich powerfully hydrating oil from Brazil, and it permeates the range. For more information go to: aveda.co.uk

COLOUR BOMB Dashes of colour - even geometric designs on the hair are trending at the moment, and are set to continue well into 2014. The JOICO K-Pack Colour Intensity system allows a stylist to create vibrant intense shades of semi-permanent cobalt and peacock hues, which condition the hair beautifully. L’Oreal Professionel’s Hair Chalk (pictured here in an intricate design by Ashish at their S/S 2014 show) is available in a wide range of colours. Test it for dryness as it can dry out the hair. So you may need to use extra conditioning. Structure’s Pigment Pencils (RRP €19.95) allow for precision application of three colours: purple, fuschia and blue, without drying the hair. Each shade can be used on all hair types and work on both light and dark hair. The lighter the hair, the more vibrant and visible the shade will be. Colour will wash out after one shampoo (two shampoos may be needed for more porous hair). The Pigment Pencils will not run in the rain. Work one shade at a time or use all three for a multi-coloured effect.

Human Resources

Staff Matters Penisula Business Services take a look at managing HR costs in 2014 Unfortunately, all reports indicate that 2014 will be no less difficult on employers than 2013 has been. However, with a New Year comes a new plan and, despite the difficult economic conditions, the New Year is an opportunity for businesses to manage and plan costs. It’s important to proactively plan for the future needs of the business, here are some tips: Temporary Workers Employers need to be able to anticipate staffing needs, and actively be able to manage and match supply and demand. The increased use of temporary or specific purpose contracts can help businesses through busy periods, where they know they will only need that role for a certain period of time. Managing Expenses Employee expenses (e.g. travel or food) can be extremely costly for employers - if not managed correctly. Employers are encouraged to have a clear and unambiguous policy, which sets out clearly the circumstances in which a claim can be made. In addition, is there a cheaper alternative? Can that driver take a route that does not involve two tolls? Managing Annual Leave The vast majority of employers are operating workloads with minimum staffing levels, and a major headache can arise when several employees request leave at the same time or, more disruptively, when several employees have excessive leave days remaining at the end of the year. Employers are advised to take control of annual leave through a clear annual leave policy, which will, in turn, ensure that the business in effectively staffed throughout the year. One useful tip is to require employees to take a minimum number of days leave per quarter and, if they fail to apply, then the employer can apportion leave to that employee by giving them one month’s notice. This will ensure an even spread of leave days from January to December. Managing Absenteeism Absenteeism can have a significant cost for businesses in terms of lost days and reduced 28•••••Beauty PROFESSIONAL IRELAND

productivity. A Survey on Workplace Absence in Ireland carried out by Graphite in 2011 showed that one-third of employers had changed their practices with regard to absence management in order to rein in the associated costs. This is not surprising when you consider that reports have shown that absenteeism costs the Irish economy as much as �560 million per annum. Some simple tips for managing absenteeism and reducing costs include tightened policies, improved absence monitoring, and carrying out return-to-work interviews. Managing Overtime Several employers have contacted Graphite HRM to outline that they have difficulties with their overtime bill. Employers can effectively rein in these costs by specifically instructing staff that only ‘manager-approved overtime’ can be worked. Employers are encouraged to have an express policy on this, and implement it strictly across the board. Effective Policies An employer cannot underestimate the importance of having effective policies to deal with all eventualities. We have considered annual leave, absenteeism and overtime above, but have you got a policy to cover scenarios where you can’t provide work due to inclement weather? What about a flexible working policy or a lay-off/ reduced hours policy to deal with temporary shortages of work? With effective policies in place an employer can look to effectively manage costs with minimal risk and without having to take the dreaded step of implementing redundancies.

There are many options that can be tailored to suit your business needs, if you feel any of the measures discussed above would be cost effective to your organisation, then please do not hesitate to contact Peninsula Business Services and they will guide you through any changes you need to implement.

MUA Focus

Touch The Air Expert MUA, Airbrush artist and trainer Nichola Graham takes a look at the joys of airbrush make-up. Airbrushing is considered to be a relatively new technique in make-up application. However, a rudimentary form was first used back in the 1920s as a way of applying body make-up to film extras quickly. Nowadays, people seem to either love it or hate it, and I really believe that’s due to having witnessed bad airbrush techniques and application. Believe me, if you learn to airbrush make-up well, you’ll never go back to applying make-up with a brush! Airbrushing make-up is not only unbelievably useful for body painting work, camouflage and tattoo cover, nail art, tanning, sfx and photographic work, it’s also a flawless application tool when it comes to beauty, fashion and bridal make-ups. The technique is very hygienic because nothing other than the colour product touches the skin. It offers excellent coverage and comes in a variety of formulas. Water-based Airbrush Foundation Similar to conventional liquid make-up they have longevity, and provide a soft matte appearance. Recommended: Kryolan’s HD Micro Foundation from www.facefxmakeupsupplies.ie, ‘Mist’ by Face-It from www.face-itstudio.com.

Alcohol-based Airbrush Foundations Cosmetic-approved pigments suspended in cosmetic grade alcohol, often known as temporary airbrush inks, because they are used for creating fake tattoos. They can last anything up to six days once sealed. Recommended: Kett Cosmetics, Hydro Proof Foundation from gurumakeupemporium.com Silicone-based Airbrush Foundations These formulas consist of cosmetic-approved pigments suspended in a silicone base. These make ups not only have excellent longevity, but also retain a fresh, dewy look. Recommended: MUD from flair.ie Kits Mist by Face-It is a full airbrush make-up kit. Call Martina 087/9078002 to arrange your purchase or training. Airbase can arrange several types of kits to suit your make-up collection. Go to: Airbase.co.uk Nichola Graham will be running courses starting on Monday the 10th of February, Monday the 10th of March and Monday the 14th of April on Levels 1&2 airbrush make-up. Go to nicholagraham.com for more infomation.

Rocked Up

MUA to the Celebs Ken Boylan rocks a few looks for nights out in Spring. Inspired by movie stars such as Veronica Lake, Ken has given a modern day twist to these classic beauty looks; using the latest productions from his Make-Up Play range. Berry hues rule supreme this year with lips getting full attention in ‘Trump Card’ lipstick worn with a slick of Kilmainham lip-gloss on top. Eyes are accentuated with a flick of the eternally glamorous ‘black tattoo’ liquid liner but given a dramatic twist with ‘Ruby’ eye shadow worn on the brow bone and blended with ‘Pomegranate’ and ‘Time Flies’ in the socket. For a rock chic after-hour look Ken has created a wet-look eye with a twist using ‘Aghadoe’ a kaki green shadow layered over a matte black shadow 34•••••Beauty PROFESSIONAL IRELAND

base of ‘Tar’. The wet look was achieved by dabbing ‘Orlando’, an opaque pink lip-gloss on top of the shadow. For a longer-lasting party look with a similar effect Ken advises that you replace the topcoat of gloss with a dab of highly crushed mineral shadow in ‘Mrs. O’Brien’ - a shimmering green tone. “This technique will last the night and not budge no matter how hard you party,” advises Ken.

Check out this Youngblood Cosmetics stand. Youngblood is a premium range of mineral cosmetics that was devised by Pauline Youngblood, a former medical aesthetician. During her career, Pauline was in daily contact with patients who had severely traumatised skin from harsh laser treatments, acne, rosacea and cosmetic surgeries. She began working with chemists to develop a suitable option — a product that would cover raw, inflamed or discoloured skin, while allowing it to breathe and heal. This led to her initial work with natural mineral cosmetics. This excellently arranged stand showcases the stylish packaging, and allows clients to test products easily and determine the best product tones for them.
