Editor's Note Dear Readers,
Nominated as ‘Best Business to Business Magazine, 2012’
Welcome to the March/April issue of Beauty Professional Magazine. No doubt you're busy cleaning the cobwebs, reviewing your current stock and planning for the rest of the year? (If you need some pointers on spring cleaning check out Liz McKeon's article on page 52.) Well, just to let you all know we had a fabulous inaugural Vtct All-Ireland Nail and MUA Championships in the Red Cow, Moran Hotel on the 22nd of February. The level of talent really impressed the panel of Irish and International Judges, and it proved to be a very enjoyable day. We take an in-depth look at the winners and the day that was in it on page 36 and page 38. We're looking forward to next year already! In the 'Rock Report' Jennifer Rock takes a look at the damage of over-exercise on our skin and how to advise clients to avoid it (skin damage that is, we don't all get away that easily!). On page 20 Peninsula Business Services reports on long-term sick leave and what employers in the beauty industry need to know. Don't forget planning ahead is key to your business success - so make sure to read through this issue; soak up the advice from our expert contributors and find the right product and treatment to suit your customers in our informative product spreads. We're always here to help! Until next time, Slán and have a great St Patrick's Day celebration! Love,

The Rock Report
Fit Out Is exercise a skin baddy? iiaa Trainer Jennifer Rock answers the question.
Tis 2015 and the world has gone bananas for exercise! Slogans such as “fit is the new skinny”, “no gym no slim” are littering social media; controversially provoking many heated debates. Apparently, we may bid au revoir to the old school classic Jane Fonda-esque home regimes - as weight lifting and resistance training seem to be the way forward. Compared to the couch potato, TV dinner image this is obviously a far healthier prospect and concept to portray to the younger generation, and, indeed, to all ages. It teaches keen discipline, the need to become dedicated and patient in order to work towards a goal. A goal of a lean, toned healthy body. Where hip bones and sheer skinniness no longer suffice, but chiselled, contoured frames are the preferable fashionable accessory. However, as with all in life, we preach that all is ideal in moderation. This “middle ground” we always hear of is what's needed. However, many seem to have become obsessed with over exercising of late. The truth behind extreme exercise needs to be explored as a result. What impact can it have on our bodies and for the purpose of the beauty industry - our skin? Let's look into our own lives for visual references - can you think of a typical marathon runner, or indeed a friend who has dramatically lost weight, jogs outdoors excessively and yet they aren't always the epitome of health to look at? Perhaps their body is toned yet typically their face is gaunt. The collagen and elastin levels seem to have plummeted, and if exercising outdoors perhaps they have a more weather beaten appearance. Why? The definition behind this is dubbed Oxidative stress. Let's start at the beginning. We need oxygen to stay alive. That isn’t shocking news, the ironic part however, is that the body sees too much oxygen as an unstable molecule and so as a free radical if overexposed. During normal metabolism the body produces unstable molecules, free radicals being the most common. These can then damage cells causing a subsequent domino effect and internal oxidisation and oxidative stress. In beauty we preach of antioxidants as they brutalise and neutralise these free radicals. Antioxidants, as the name suggests are 'against' oxidisation, as they are campaigning to protect against this brutal attack. There are two kinds of antioxidant protection: 1. Endogenous (produced internally) and, 2. Exogenous (this is where we are dependent on diet and topical creams, etc.). Ultimately, studies conclude that oxidative stress accelerates ageing (and contributes towards cancer, dementia, heart 14•••••Beauty PROFESSIONAL IRELAND
disease among many other ailments). A simple visual on how this affects the skin is - grab an apple. Bite it. Walk away, return to the apple 10 mins later. What colour is the bitten part? Answer - brown. Why? Oxidisation. Let‘s explore how antioxidants work... Same scenario but before you walk away from the apple dribble a dabble of lemon juice (an antioxidant) on it. Upon your return the bitten part will be fresh and normal coloured as the lemon fought against the oxidation. In skin it's similar to the sun- apply antioxidants in light exposed times and less of a negative impact shall later present itself. All forms of exercise cause oxidative stress (OS), however free radicals are needed in small amounts as they prompt the cells to become stronger, increasing your own internal body antioxidant protection. Yet your body has a limited capacity to increase antioxidant protection - so not exercising would not be of benefit either; typical! Many researchers believe that long, intense exercise may cause more OS than humans can handle. In essence, your body runs out of antioxidants during extreme exercise so free radicals overwhelm far beyond a healthy exercise regime. But what is extreme exercise ? The official answer seems to be “exerting the body for prolonged periods of time typically 60 mins and beyond”. The other aspect to consider is that exercise isn't alone in this OS process, simple lifestyle choices such as smoking, drinking, daily chronic stress, bad diet and pollution are also to blame. The conclusion is: 1. Our mothers were right; everything in moderation was correct! 2. Avoid excessive amounts of slow state cardio. 3. Chose interval or resistance training to minimise overexposure to free radicals. 4. Eat a high diet in rich antioxidants (green, green and more green). 5. Use skincare products with a cascade of antioxidants as there are many stressors in today's society - one antioxidant is not sufficient to combat our lifestyle woes!

BPI Pros
Long Times Peninsula Business Services discuss the matter of long-term absences Dismissing an employee due to an ongoing medical absence can be a tricky subject for both the employer and the employee. The employer has to consider the need of the business to have the post filled, whereas the employee has to consider the importance of holding on to their role for financial reasons. An employment tribunal will have to weigh up the needs of the employer as compared to those of the employee. The matter is even more complicated where the employee’s absence is due to a disability. In this article we look at the important considerations for employers when it comes to long-term medical absences. The Risks If an employer were to dismiss an employee on the basis of medical incapability then the main risks are as follows: V An unfair dismissal claim - which can carry up to two years’ compensation. V An equality claim on the grounds of disability - which can carry up to four years’ compensation. Accordingly, it is vitally important that employers seek advice on how best to manage long term medical absences; so as to ensure that they are complying with their legal obligations. Is it true that you cannot dismiss an employee on certified sick leave? No, this is not true. Under the Unfair Dismissals Acts 1977 to 2007, an employer may dismiss an employee on the grounds of incapability if the employee is incapable of performing the work which they were hired to do. Additionally, the Employment Equality Acts 1998 to 2011 do not prohibit employers from terminating employment on grounds of incapability as long as the employer has sought to “reasonably accommodate” the employee’s disability in the workplace. What are the main considerations where it appears the employee is unlikely to be able to return to work? Firstly, the employer should ensure that they are in full possession of all the material facts concerning the employee’s condition. This is most readily achieved through obtaining medical advice from either the employee’s doctor or from a company doctor. Such advice should also be able to assist the employer in identifying whether or not the employee’s absence is due to a disability. It is often the case that a disability can be reasonably accommodated in the workplace and, as such, a dismissal would not be necessary. Secondly, based on the medical advice, if it appears as though the employee is unlikely be able to return to work again, or the foreseeable future, the employer should ensure that employee is given fair notice that the question of his or her dismissal for incapacity is being considered. If the medical advice confirms that the employee may be able to return to work, but not for the foreseeable future, then the employer will need to have a very solid business reason as to why they need to dismiss the employee rather than, for example, 20•••••Beauty PROFESSIONAL IRELAND
covering their absence through temporary employees. The employee must also be allowed an opportunity to influence the employer’s decision. This will normally require a two-stage enquiry, which looks firstly at the employee’s capability / incapability and its likely duration, and secondly looking at the medical evidence available to the employer, either from the employee’s doctors or obtained independently. If it is apparent that the employee is not fully capable, the employer must consider what reasonable accommodation they can offer the employee to make them fully capable, such as special treatment or facilities that may be available and the cost associated with such treatment / facilities. For example, if an employee is absent due to a hearing difficulty then can the employer assist with visual aids, visual software, etc? Where the employee is consulting a specialist on their condition then it is advisable to seek the specialist’s advice rather than that of a general practitioner. If the medical advice confirms that the employee may be able to return to work but not for the foreseeable future then the employer, again, will need to have a very solid business reason as to why they need to dismiss the employee rather than, for example, covering their absence through temporary employees. Conclusions If an employee is on long-term sick leave, ensure that you are fully informed of the nature of the illness and its likely duration. It is equally important that employers keep an open dialogue with the employee and fully engage with them on how best to facilitate their return to work. If it gets to the stage where dismissal is a possibility then again the employee should be fully consulted. By following the correct procedures the employer can’t go wrong as you will either have your employee back to work and performing their duties or, alternatively, you will be able to end the employment relationship in a fair and transparent fashion. Employers should seek advice from the Peninsula’s 24 Hour Advice Service on 1890 252 923 if they have any employees on long term sickness absence.

Consultation Feature
The Perm Bronwyn Conroy takes a look at the world of semi-permanent make-up Eyebrows and eyelashes are very much in vogue over the last few years. There has been a huge surge in therapists and clinics specialising in eyebrow and eyelash treatments. The cost of maintaining your HD brows is somewhere between €35-€50 every 4-6 weeks; making this a very profitable salon treatment. Clients are now veering towards a more permanent solution in the form of semi-permanent make-up/ embroidery/eyebrow embroidery. Whatever the branding, the principle is largely the same. This is essentially a tattoo, whereby using either a machine or a scalpel, the dye penetrates into the deeper layers of the skin lasting between 2-5 years. I think when most of us thought about semi-permanent make-up, particularly eyebrows we had a slight shudder; envisioning the black, shiny over-arched brows we have seen walking about. There is something terrifying about letting somebody do something so long lasting to your face. But, the developments in semipermanent make-up are giving clients a much more natural look, instead of always opting for block colour, clients can now opt for a brush stroke application technique, mimicking the hair's natural appearance. After choosing your therapist/clinic there is an initial visit to determine shape and decide on colour and the first stage of colour is applied, after 4 weeks 50-70% of the colour fades, so this is like an insurance policy for people who decide the colour is too dark or they are not happy with the overall result. It is like a cooling-off period. There is then a follow-up visit for a second application of colour to give a long-lasting result and make any corrections. Some clinics such as Up To My Eyes offer a third visit. This is also handy for the client as the treatment cost is divided between the three visits - making it very affordable. The cost of semi-permanent make-up / embrowdery is between €350 and €400. This is actually quite cost effective compared to spending €35-€40 a month. There is also a lot to be said for the permanency of the procedure; it means it is one monthly bit of maintenance you no longer have to think about! 'Wake Up With Make Up' is Elizabeth Oakes' tag line and it is very tempting - who doesn't find it appealing not to look like a rabbit in the morning? A little bit of definition around your lashline and on your brows halves the time of morning make-up application instantly! 24•••••Beauty PROFESSIONAL IRELAND
These treatments are gaining in popularity and it is a nice little business to specialise in. The treatment costs are very low, the most expensive thing being the therapists’ time. It is a painstaking treatment to learn and not for everybody but the financial return is tempting. The cost of semi-permanent eyebrows or eyeliner averages at €400 each, the cost of performing the treatment would be under €30 making a very profitable return. As always you are only as good as where you train, if you decide to add another string to your bow - do your research. Training isn't cheap: depending on where you go it will be approximately €2,200 but you will make that back in five treatments. There are also endless possibilities for therapists who excel at these treatments, eyebrows, eyeliner, lips, areola restoration, etc.

Kim K Bridal
There’s no doubt about it – brides this year are going to want the Kim Kardashian contoured look. Nichola Graham reveals the best tricks and tips! When it comes to highlighting and contouring ala Kim K; there’s a very fine line between enhancing your best features and painting on so much thick, heavy make-up that you wouldn’t dare jump on the scales for fear that you’ve gained at least 10lbs! What looks good on camera is not the case in real life and when it comes to your brides you need to think of real life, as well as photography! Old-school contouring (the technique of using shading and highlighting to enhance and define facial features) doesn’t have to mean layers, upon layers of product. Daylight magnifies each layer of product and your brides won’t thank you for making them look more Liza Minnelli than Kim Kardashian! Get The Right Products Whether you opt for contouring and highlighting with cream products or powder products, getting the product and shades right is vital. Companies that offer specific contouring products are your best bet, as these tried and tested products will give you both the finish and tone that you need. I recommend the Kevyn Aucoin Sculpting Powder in Medium for shading. It’s a grey bronze tone, which will give a natural looking shadow. Remember, you are ‘shading’ here, not bronzing, therefore the desired effect, i.e. a natural-looking shadow, won’t be achieved with an orangey bronzer. For highlighting I adore Kevyn Aucoin’s Celestial Powder in Candlelight. This sultry champagne shade is beautiful with just the right amount of shimmer to give the most beautiful glow on the skin. Pick The Right Tools Having the right shaped brush is vital when it comes to contouring, and Bdellium Tools never fails to get it right. Their Tapered Contour Brush #944 is perfectly formed and can be used for both shading and highlighting. Plus, it’s available in black, pink, yellow and green so you can choose one colour as your contour brush and one as your highlight brush. Know Where To Shade To give your bride instant cheekbones place your shadow directly on and just a little under their cheekbones. Aim to apply the shadow from the top of the ear in a line towards the corner of their mouth, stopping about an inch before their mouth. The ‘shadow’ should not be a very visible line, but a subtle shade giving the illusion of a slimmer or more sculpted face. If you want to slim down the nose - apply the shadow down either side of the nose, but go lightly! 28•••••Beauty PROFESSIONAL IRELAND

Highlight Strategically Highlighting is especially important when you’re contouring because it brings the light back into your bride's face. But once again, don’t overdo it. Apply your highlighter to the tops of the cheekbones where the light naturally hits the face. Apply it down the nose and above the cupid's bow. You can even highlight at the arch of the brow if the eye shape can take it, certainly not great for hooded or protruding eyes. Blend, Blend, Blend Blending is the key to keeping your contour look soft and natural, not to mention beautiful. No bride wants to looks like a paint-by-numbers sketch so keep it soft and you won’t go wrong. Run a fluffy brush with natural fibres over the finished look in a circular buffing motion. This really helps soften any harsh lines. And Finally, Don’t Forget (The Right) Blush Whatever you do, don’t leave the cheeks completely colourless. This is really unflattering, so opt for a soft peach or pink if your bride is of the fairer skin, or soft plum for darker complexions. I love Stila’s Custom Colour blush in adjustable coral, pink and bronze shades. These shades adjust to the natural skin colour so it will suit a wide variety of brides. Pop the colour on the apples of the cheeks for a natural flush. All recommended products available from www. crcmake-up.com who also offer great discounts for beauty professionals and make-up artists.

About Face
The Payot brand is recognised as being at the forefront of facial exercises. Pull this informative poster out and refer to it for your clients, and for you too! Just like the body, the face needs regular exercise to ensure that it maintains its youthful appearance and firmness. Doctor Nadia Payot originally devised an exercise regime of 42 steps, for optimum beauty with the motto that: “Taking good care of one‘s face, the way we do for our bodies, means giving it new youthfulness”. If you can
train your clients how to use these six simple exercises just for ten minutes a day, you can really make a difference to their beauty regime. Six exercises, 10 minutes per day for resculpted beauty! The new Perform Lift Range, which contains high-grade hyaluronic acid is the ideal range to complement these exercises. Containing hyaluronic acid
with a high molecular weight, the products act as a skin surface tensor treating established wrinkles and lack of firmness, which generally starts at the age of 40. The Perform Lift Regard Triple Performance Eye Lifting Treatment won 'Best Eye Treatment' in the Irish Spa Awards, 2014.

Beauty Professional Voices
Lavender Lovelies BPI Editor, Lucy Earley chatted to Becky O’Neill and Sandra Lynch of Lavender Beauty Salon, Shannon about their discovery and love affair with Airbase Make-up.
How did you start out? Becky: Our journey with Airbase began about four years ago. I went to London to research an airbrushing system with the view to using it in the salon, we loved the softness and professional edge airbrushing incorporates. I met Lloyd Naaké at the show and was very impressed with the machine and his presentation of the product range. While I was interested - I wanted to find out what else was on the market. I returned to Ireland a couple of weeks later and attended the Irish Beauty Show, where I met Lloyd again. After checking out other systems, to be honest the system just stood out to me as being a cut above the rest; it’s easy to use, it always results in a flawless finish – nothing compared to it. Sandra: Two years on and after working together for six years, I joined forces with Becky O’Neill and together we opened our beauty salon: Lavender Beauty. How have your clients received Airbrushed make-up? Sandra: Becky and myself have such a passion for make-up and having the Airbase system has set a new high as to how perfect we can get make-up to look on our clients. We only get great feedback.
asked back up to the TV3 to do more work for them.
Is the system a lucrative addition to your salon? Becky: Our main income for make-up would be weddings; party nights, graduations and most recently TV work! We're featured on Ireland AM, where we both airbrushed models for the fashion slot for Celia Holman Lee (who we've worked regularly with over the last couple of years on wedding fairs). We've since been
If you could describe Airbase in a few words? Sandra: Becky and myself cannot speak highly enough of Airbase and how amazing this product is, it's a privilege to have it in our salon.

Bounce ‘n’ Curl We check out Spring 2015 Hair Trends from Dylan Bradshaw Stylist Danielle Dignam The Effortless Look Designers Marchesa and Mary Katrantzou gave models an effortless look with barely there waves. This can transform an otherwise ordinary hair style into a runway ready look. Messy waves will take you from day to night and can be dressed up or down for any occasion. Working with the natural texture, tong random sections of the hair and finish with salt spray to create these soft, carefree waves. Temporary Colour The next trend for colour chameleons is experimenting with different hues which can be changed after a few weeks. This colour option means clients are not stuck with the same colour for too long, the ideal trend for those noncommittal types. Plaits/Braids The passion for plaits and braids continues in 2015. Many designers chose this look on the SS15 catwalk shows. The romantic plait has a whimsical and ethereal feel. Layered sections that shape the face flow loosely, while the actual plait is twisted and unkempt. For those who want a structured braid, take inspiration from the Giorgio Armani show, where
thick cornrows were tied off into complicated woven knots. Experiment at home with rope and fishtails to put a quirky twist on an old favourite.
1 Dylan Bradshaw Hair
Stylist at work on shoot
The Cut Last year the mid length bob became the go-to re-style for many models and actresses, but this really is the year to experiment with short hair using texture, defined waves, cool crops or bold quiffs. Depending on the hair and face type try relaxed structural chops or geometric cuts like Coco Rocha’s. 70s bangs The glamour of the 70s has returned for those lovers of long hair. We are moving away from slick, straight locks and instead it’s all about that sexy, flowing hair. Think Studio 54 and a young Jerry Hall when adding more volume and movement to hair.

Land Of Youth
Thinking about setting up aesthetic medicine procedures in your Salon/Spa? BPI chatted to Dr. Kevin McDonald of Tirnanog Clinic about his services How did you get involved with Tirnanog Clinic? It’s our family business and was initially set up three years ago to provide a service to salons, namely that of injecting anti-wrinkle treatments (made solely in Ireland). I worked with salons on the Northside of the city and at home, in my own premises, providing a competitive price and a good service. Business boomed? Absolutely, word spread and more salons asked for my services. I encountered a highly qualified nurse (Kerry Hanaphy) on one such visit to a lovely salon, Core Beauty, off the Old Bawn Road two years ago. Kerry had 10 years previous experience in England administering anti-wrinkle treatment services and filler...but had now concentrated on filler due to limitations in Ireland. I inspected her expert work and immediately asked if she would take referrals from me (for filler), as I knew from my own experience how difficult it was to do a good job on the injection of the filler. We have worked hand in hand ever since. What services do you offer? People are becoming more accepting of Anti Wrinkle
Treatment and fillers as the results are amazing; they’re looking for it locally, they don’t want to have to travel. This is why we’ve concentrated on providing a mobile service to salons and spas. What’s your ethos regarding the use of Aesthetic Medicine like Anti-Wrinkle Treatments and fillers? I believe that we exercise a degree of caution when injecting any client. We follow the adage of: 'Less is best'… it's easy to add in more product but you cannot remove it so easily. What are your plans for the future? Kerry has upskilled to take on mesotherapy, vampire facials, threading and chemical peels and we’re delighted to now offer these procedures. Her reputation for excellence and quality is spreading. I intend on training up in hair restoration surgery (due to my surgical background) this year and setting up a premises for this. We look forward to meeting more clients /salons to work with in the future. Rates to the client would be competitive while guaranteeing salons/spas/clinics a good return if you request our services.

Spring Salon Liz McKeon’s guide to Spring cleaning your business! Occasionally your salon needs a good spring clean to improve your company’s performance and service to your clients. Here is my guide to sprucing up your salon... Clean up your finances The first place to tidy up a business is to get all your finances in order, making sure that you are managing your cash flow on a daily and weekly basis. Clean up the web Go on-line and objectively assess how fresh your salon’s website is. It doesn’t have to be an extreme makeover, but get rid of stale material. Determine the key goals for the site – is it to direct sales and enquiries to your salon? Gather salon news, media articles and relevant links to upload immediately, based on your salon’s new priorities. Clean up your database Your salon database is one of your company’s most important assets. Use it to your full advantage; record every single client’s details, keep it up to date and use it to stay in regular touch with your clients. Keep your tax affairs in order This is an unavoidable spring-cleaning chore. Lodge paperwork on time. If the business cannot meet its tax obligations, get in touch with the Revenue quickly. Get much closer to your clients Review your business through your clients’ eyes, prioritise issues for improvement and gain competitive advantage by giving clients what they really want. Do this by running a 52•••••Beauty PROFESSIONAL IRELAND
‘client survey report’ which: V Provides feedback on how they see your salon; V Highlights areas for improvement; V Shows clients that you care about their opinions; V Helps you listen to your clients; V Keeps you up to date with competitor’s strengths and weaknesses. V Create a clear vision for your salon Vision is so much more than management jargon: it really does help to drive the salon forward because it provides energy and direction, a common understanding of where the business is going and enables all staff members to work out how they can personally add value to the salon. Clean up your image ‘You never get a second opportunity to make a first impression!’ Take an objective look at your business; what image do you portray to both regular and potential new clients and is that image in keeping with you vision for your salon? If it is, great, and if not, then it’s time to raise the bar and improve your standards in every aspect of the business from the exterior, to the look of your treatment rooms, to the image of your therapists, to the layout of your reception and to the quality of each and every service you provide. Remember your long-term goals for your salon. All business is cyclical, use springtime to spruce up all your business strategies and your salon, and get ready to capitalise on a fantastic summer season.

INTERNATIONAL BEAUTY Lina Kennedy is one of the world’s foremost authority on hair removal and hair removal techniques, treatments and therapies. She is also the leading practitioner of Advanced Body Sugaring TM, an ancient art passed down from the Middle East. BPI Journalist, Kaitlin Yahr caught up with her at the launch of Alexandria Body Sugaring in Ireland. When did you become familiar with the treatment? In 1991 I saw a programme on a local TV show in Canada about Alexandria Body Sugaring, many of my friends would share their horror stories with me about painful waxing, electrolysis and never-ending shaving nicks and scrapes. I saw an opportunity to help them achieve a painless beauty life. I also saw a trend in hygienic and green beauty products, long before others, I think. So, I decided to get involved. What is the Kennedy Technique? The Alexandria Professional hair removal system is a modernised, theorised, conceptualised technique of sugaring that’s tailored for the beauty professional only. As it is myself who developed the international education used worldwide in beauty schools (for professional sugaring hair removal and skin conditioning treatments), I can state confidently that the Kennedy Technique is an important skill to comprehend and to learn how and why you will transform your epilation business. It is the ONLY hair removal treatment which you can use safely on all ethnicities and skin types, from normal skin to irritated
1 L-R Karen Daly, Susan Kol, Debbie Byrne, Pamela Kennedy, Lina
Kennedy, Natasha Flood, Sheena McGuigan, Deborah Long skin; even eczema and psoriasis sufferers, which is fantastic. Did it take long to get set up? I approached Alexandria Body Sugaring and walked away from the meeting with the Southern Ontario distribution rights to Alexandria Body Sugaring TM. Although there was no education, no concept, and no real understanding of what can be achieved with sugaring, as their approach of sugaring was that of the original ancient technique and at that time the Kennedy Technique had not yet been conceived. I saw an opportunity with the mere fact that it was still gentler than other methods currently on the market. I soon became the line’s leading practitioner and educator. The product took off immediately as salons began to see the benefits of Alexandria body sugaring. Within 4 years, the opportunity arose for me to purchase the company. That is when “Alexandria Professional” was born! I immediately went to work with colleagues, who are chemists and essential oil specialists to reformulate all of our treatment related products into safe and all- natural ingredients, and reformulate our sugar paste collection into the most reliable and sought after brand. Recently winning the globally revered 'Dermascope Aesthetician’s Choice Award 2015' for 'Best Sugar' and 'Best Mud' Wrap for our Mud Puddle product have, yet again, reiterated how amazing the Alexandria Professional products really are. Today, Alexandria Professional is enjoyed by customers in more than 35 countries and still growing. Growth can only happen through education. Intelligent AP certified educators and all other AP family members help us to maintain our foundation because WE CARE! It is a thrill to be working with International Beauty and specifically Pamela Kennedy as her enthusiasm and passion to provide the best Education and Products for the Beauty Industry in Ireland. You have a book coming out? Yes, I do! It’s called Sweet Revolution and it’s a must-read for all beauty professionals and anyone who wants to understand how a single mom of 3 made it worldwide!

What our Stockists say of us ...
“I trained because I wanted to build up my confidence, speed and learn some tips and tricks along the way. My SUNTAN INwith AWaxperts SPRAY training experience with Waxperts was second to none, I gained more confidence and guidance than I thought
possible. Their training days are extremely personal, meaning that your Waxperts Educator has all eyes on you and can point out any ways to make the waxing experience more comfortable for both the therapist and the client. I’ve completed the 101 and Below The Belt courses and I would thoroughly recommend their training days to anyone, no matter how experienced they are. Waxperts truly are the experts in hair removal and have an amazing way of showing you their perfected technique! My training is still on going with them, since the day I have had follow up emails with my Waxperts Educator regarding my progress.” Sinead McCartney, Co.Louth
Voted Best Tanning Colour
“Training with Waxperts was fab. Our educator was very patient with us and made sure we understood everything before we left. Waxperts products are the best quality waxing products I’ve used!! Love it :)” Victoria’s Beauty Spa, Co.Antrim “I started Bliss after completing my CIDESCO beauty exams, confident in all of my treatments, apart from bikini waxing but never found quite the right brand and training combination with a great product, confidence and support. Then I discovered Waxperts Wax. I attended a full day training in Dublin, for me this was just as important as the fabulous purple wax, with small classes where you really get to work, learn positioning, technique and insider tricks of the trade. Every client who has experienced Waxperts Wax has returned for more, every single one.” Bliss Beauty Clinic, Co.Down
