would like to introduce you all to the first issue of our newly-named Salon Magazine. That’s right, Beauty Professional Ireland magazine has a brand new name!

Within this country of Ireland the treatment sector is a very competitive environment. Some salon owners are operating within the one unit - a beauty, hair and barbering service - or just a hair and beauty service. Other Individual hair or beauty businesses are looking for opportunities to grow their business and one option is to include additional treatment services from parallel sectors.

Hair and beauty are no longer two different entities; they are fusing in some cases and often complement each other for the all-encompassing benefit of their clients. Our new name, Salon Magazine represents everything we have always done and reported on in the market place, and we knew that in order to truly serve our readership we had to encompass the entire beauty industry offering: make-up, skincare, hair, barbering, nails, hair removal, tanning, spa, equipment and industry training.

We will continue to provide you with all the news and business advice you crave from an Irish-based magazine. We want to support your professional treatment business by giving you the latest product news.

In this issue, we take a look at some fantastic and diverse Christmas products for your business. We get advice on Christmas HR issues, industry standards in micro-pigmentation, treatments, make-up looks and lots more! Check out the amazing brands advertising in this issue and remember if you cannot find what you are looking for just ask us at info@salonmagazine.ie.

Our old office served us well, and we made great memories (and brows) there, but we couldn’t be more excited about our new space,” said National Sales Manager, Tina Newman.

The new training facility is in Earlscourt Industrial Estate, Churchtown, Dublin 14.

It’s a central location, conveniently placed between Dundrum town centre and Nutgrove shopping centre. It’s easily accessed from the M50 and other main roads. Free parking is available for customers. “Overall, we now have more of an open plan so we’re all working closer together rather than a more compartmentalised layout at our last place.

In our last office, we were on the second floor of a building with no free parking. While we really liked the area, we lived a pretty anonymous existence. There was no way for anyone in the community outside of that building to know we existed, and now with added Free parking, we’re hoping our new location in Dublin will allow our salons easier and stress free training,” Tina added.

MUFE’S ANOTHER KISS ON THE WALL Celebrities, including: Elaine Crowley (pictured here), Baz Ashwamy, Samantha Mumba and Yvonne Connelly kissed a special wall in Make For Ever’s Clarendon Street store last month, as part of a charitable iniative in association with Breast Cancer Ireland.

The campaign encouraged the general public to pop into the store at 38 Clarendon Street, choose a lipstick shade and place their kiss mark on the ribbon shaped wall with a suggested donation of €2. These donations went directly to Breast Cancer Ireland to support the ongoing research efforts in the laboratories and cancer centres throughout Ireland.

Alongside this activity, for the duration of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Make Up For Ever contributed 10% of sales from any of their lipsticks to Breast Cancer Ireland.

Sweet Squared Co-Founder, Samantha Sweet alongside her eldest son, Haydn, made their London Fashion Week debut on the catwalk in the CND sponsored VIN+OMI SS17 show.

“This was CND’s sixth show with VIN+OMI and we’ve developed a really great working relationship and friendship with the two designers over the years. So when they asked me to walk, I was pretty sceptical at first, then I thought about my bucket list and couldn’t possibly pass up the opportunity. When they met my son, Haydn, they took one look at him and said he just had to be involved,” commented Samantha Sweet.

SALON MAGAZINE THE NEW NAME FOR BEAUTY PROFESSIONAL MAGAZINE It’s been the leading and most influential beauty trade magazine in Ireland since 2010.

Launching a magazine in the middle of the recession wasn’t easy. However, Beauty Professional Ireland, with its mix of high quality content, excellent contributors and advertisers, along with committed staff has flourished and grown - despite all economic odds. Under the management of Chris Dunican (MD), Lucy Earley (Editor) and Linda Horan (Advertising Manager), it has become the leading magazine for the professional beauty trade in Ireland.

The newly-named Salon Magazine will incorporate Beauty Professional Ireland Magazine. It will still cover all the sectors of the last six years: skincare, nails, spa, make-up, tanning, hair, business, HR, recruitment and careers - but will aim to increase its content and

readership.

There is an increasing crossover in Ireland between the hair and beauty sector. A large segment of the magazine’s readership now offer hair treatments through their beauty businesses, and beauty treatments through their hair businesses. Many have hair and beauty salons running successfully within the one unit.

The management of Salon Magazine feel that it would be unfair to ignore this fact within the magazine going forward. Not acknowledging these significant changes in the industry could potentially deny the vast opportunities that are available, to both readers and advertisers.

“We are so excited about the new name for our magazine! Salon Magazine will continue to showcase the very best of professional.

Re-branding the magazine allows all of our clients to be more confident in knowing that we are equally representing the hair and beauty sector under the heading of a magazine title that represents these markets,” commented

Salon Magazine’s Managing Director, Chris Dunican.

Hair and Beauty professionals need to be the very best they can be; constantly up-skilling and educating themselves in new disciplines. They need to scale their business into parallel markets that appeal to their local and passing demographic.

Through Salon Magazine’s interesting, businessorientated, sassy and savvy content you can be confident that your message will be brought to your clients in an aesthetically attractive gloss format, with relevant and professional content.

The budget this year was fairly unremarkable. However, the increase in the self-employed tax credit brings entreprenuers closer to equal treatment.

There was more investment this year in childcare and education.

Brexit is a worry for small firms.

The Small Firms Association (SFA) has criticised Budget 2017 for not recognising the immediate crisis facing small firm exporters in the context of Brexit. SFA Chairman, AJ Noonan, commented: “Even in a Budget with very limited room for manoeuvre, the Government has missed an opportunity to address the many issues facing entrepreneurs, which would assist them in providing additional employment and driving prosperity in all parts of the country. Making our tax system competitive with the UK in areas such as CGT and employee share options must be done today, not in a year’s time. The retention of the 9% VAT rate for the hospitality sector is important in supporting that sector in dealing with Brexit”.

“Whilst we welcome the reduction

of the capital gains tax rate for entrepreneurs from 20% to 10%, the retention of the lifetime limit of €1 million will severely limit the impact of the change. We must make Ireland a more attractive destination for starting a business or investing in a small firm. The UK, which is one of our biggest competitors for this investment, has a lifetime limit of Stg£10mn. Capital gains tax should have been decreased to 20% across the board, to encourage transactions in the economy, and we strongly argue that this measure would have been self-financing,” stated AJ Noonan.

“Budget 2017 represents a relatively modest step in the right direction in the SFA’s long-fought battle for risk takers and job-creators in the economy to be treated equally by the tax system.

We welcome the €400 increase of the Earned Income Tax Credit for the self-employed but will continue our campaign for full equalisation with the PAYE tax credit, as well as pushing for the Government to abolish the additional 3% USC that applies only to the selfemployed,” continued AJ Noonan.

CND ROCKS THE RUNWAY NAILS AT LIBERTINE SPRING/ SUMMER 2017 Taking notes from Libertine’s rebellious punk rock collection, CND’s nails for Libertine were an effortlessly cool throwback to the 1970s and ‘80s with unexpected Victorian and new wave elements.

This high-octane collaboration once again brought a fresh, bold energy to the scene through modern reinvention of the classics.

“Libertine’s Johnson Hartig has become a true extension of the CND family,” said CND Co-founder and Style Director Jan Arnold (pictured here in the middle). “In this fifth season creating together, it was no surprise that Johnson’s artistic vision was perfectly in line with our CND trend story. Spring 2017 channels a retro futurist spirit, paying homage to iconic style with an edgy twist, and that’s exactly what we sent down the runway.”

Elixir USP: Rahua was developed by New York-based hairstylist Fabian Lliguin after a trip to the Ecuadorian Amazon region. He noticed that the local women’s hair had an intense sheen, which they achieved using a powerful restorative oil called Rahua (pronoucned ra-­wa).

Unlike other botanical oils that simply coat each hair strand, the extraordinarily small Rahua oil molecule has the ability to deeply penetrate, bond and repair the hair’s cortex while simultaneously smoothing its cuticle. Contact: www. dylanbradshaw.com, Tel: +353 (0) 1 671 9353

Party Time!

Dylan Bradshaw Educator, Cathal Walshe, tells us about the latest Christmas trends - and talks training too

C

hristmas is fast approaching, and with that party season well and truly kicks off. The big question we all want to know is what hair look we should sport this festive season?

A trend we’ve seen on all the red carpets lately is the simple chic ponytail in all its variations. If we look at the Emmys last month we saw Emily Ratajkowski and Priyanka Chopra sporting Uber glam ponytails with a deep side parting. This look is perfect for a casual night out or to complement a full-on glam party look.

- To recreate this look, first prep the hair with a smoothing cream like Matrix Smooth Setter €15 and blow dry smooth.

- Second using the arch of your brow as a guide (left or right - depending if you favour a side) start your parting.

You want to split the hair as far back as the crown to create an elongated part.

- Thirdly comb hair into position, smoothing out any lumps or bumps to create a seamless sleek look and secure the ponytail either at the nape of the neck - or higher if you want more of a swing to the ponytail.

- Spray with a light hairspray like Matrix Volume Builder €15 to secure and add hold. And lastly, take a small section from the ponytail, wrap around the elastic to disguise and secure with a bobby pin to complete the look.

If you wish to add a little extra sparkle to your look, try some accessories like a glittering hair slide as shown on the catwalk at Prada or a floral option as shown by Dolce & Gabbana.

Discover more on Cathal’s Academy courses at www. dylanbradshaw.com/courses. The Matrix range (shampoo, conditioners, treatments and styling products) is available from the Dylan Bradshaw Academy, 56 South William Street, Dublin 2.

THE FUTURE OF HAIRDRESSING @ THE DYLAN BRADSHAW ACADEMY Fresh from their win of this year’s L’Oréal Colour Trophy Ireland, and Most Wanted! Exceptional Stylist win in London, the Dylan Bradshaw Academy Team are excited to pass on their award winning techniques at their new cutting, colour, styling and trend vision courses for 2017. But what makes their Academy so unique?

Owner and Creative Director Dylan Bradshaw says: ‘’Our academy is unique as just like our salon we like to offer people a bespoke service. Our team of educators will assess stylists, colourists and trainees who attend their courses and design a bespoke course package just for them.’’

These part-time courses help stylists and colourists discover how to tailor their cutting technique and colour formulations to create a bespoke look suited to their client and their needs. Creative cutting will focus on the transformation of a classic look into something ultra-

www.salonmagazine.ie

modern and contemporary while still keeping it salon and customer friendly.

Dylan says: ‘’It is so important for all stylists, even the more experienced to keep up-to-date on the ever changing and evolving world of hairdressing to maintain and grow their client base.’’

Dylan continues ‘’We work closely with our students, keeping our classes small so that they get that one-to-one education and training, that perhaps their own salon is unable to provide.

In many cases, due to the busy nature of our business, hairdressers training and development is put on hold as the client always comes first.’’

For this reason the academy developed a ‘db Finishing School Course’ as many salon owners contacted them looking for courses for their apprentices as they are simply not in the position to provide it themselves.

The ‘db Finishing School Course’ was created to help people refine their skills before finishing their apprenticeship. During this intensive course all aspects of both the practical and theoretical side of hairdressing training is covered including both classic and contemporary cutting, colour and styling. Dylan Bradshaw Academy Educator Cathal Walshe says ‘’Salon Owners realise they need to nurture and develop their apprentices from early in their career. Remember this investment is not only in your team but also in your clients and the future of your business.’’

The academy is in their 5th term of their popular 18 Month Level 2 Diploma Course in Hairdressing and Barbering. Certified by City and Guilds it is a highly regarded course, which is recognised globally.

Cathal Walshe says ‘’We are receiving more and more calls about our Diploma Course, as it includes a Barbering Module. People starting their career in hairdressing realise that they need to be highly skilled and therefore need the best training. They realise Barbering is a skill and they are not only to be well trained in the classic side of Barbering but also the more contemporary and fashion gents cuts.

They need to understand the difference in head shapes to determine what style cut or technique should be used on a client so it is vitally important that they invest in a course which focuses on both the theoretical and practical side of Barbering.’’

We introduce Dave Judge of Abner Browns as our new barbering contributor

W

hen I started in this game I was a teenager, sweeping up, watching and learning. I was an errand boy, a junior, an apprentice. I learned my trade over a number of years. I learned from my father and those more senior to me. It took time. It was four years of slow, intricate attention to detail. I learned from experience, as well as from practice.

These days scissors work, layered cuts and blow drying are often abandoned by aspiring barbers in favour of perfecting the fade. Fades are the most popular current hairstyle in Ireland, but this, like all things, will change.

Fades are in no way the only style a barber needs to know.

Fashion is ever changing. I used to be a master of the mullet and then the faux-hawk, Mohawk, flop top, the step, the wedge, I’ve had customers who were mods, rockers, skins, rudeboys - the customer asks, the customer gets. A good barber should be able to shape all heads and the only way to face these challenges is by having sufficient training. This is exactly the same for hairdressers and hairdressing.

Barbering cannot be mastered in a six-week training course. The time spent learning the traditional way is an investment in the future and the best way to prepare for a long, fruitful career as a barber.

Dave Judge is a third generation barber with over 30 years’ experience. Consultation and training can be provided. Email abnerbrownsbarber@gmail.com for more details.

SPA REVIEW SPONSORED BY

Monart’s Monks Our Spa Spy travelled to Wexford to Monart Destination Spa to sample all of its delights

T

he leaves were just beginning to fall around the gates of Monart Destination Spa as we drove in. It felt like we were passing into another ‘utopian’ world. It may sound dramatic but with so many awards and recommendations from friends and family, I was bracing myself for relaxation of a superior kind.

I was there to try the Shaolin experience. Two masters of the Shaolin Temple in Henan Province are in residency until midDecember.

Monart is delightfully luxurious, beautifully laid out and planned, from gardens to furnishings. The rooms are pure luxe; it’s almost as if the feel of the towels is scientifically planned to the last thread.

We donned our robes and slippers and started our Monart voyage. We walked the journey from room to the Spa, down a ‘passage of time’ spiral walkway.

I received the Shaolin Warrior Massage - an amazing muscle invigorating massage carried out by Master Ma. There was no language exchanged throughout, just a kind of peace existed between us as he masterfully massaged away all cares and worries. At times it was challenging, as all good massages are.

But, by the end I felt wonderful. My companion had the Pevonia Elasto-Firm Facial, which made her skin look amazingly fresh and youthful (she’s 68 with good skin, but looked revitalised afterwards). We regrouped in the relaxation area, where we sipped peppermint tea and snuggled under our blankets.

I went on a solo trip to the salt grotto, caldarium, hydrotherapy pool and sauna - and enjoyed every wonderful minute of it. We all love (our) kids, but being in a peaceful adult-only five-star location is kind of special! Later, before dinner, it was warm enough to go for a walk around beautifully

landscaped gardens in our robes and slippers.

I had heard that the food in Monart is delightful and our dinner that evening did not disappoint. I had the Chargrilled fillet of beef Artichoke Puree, Root Vegetable Galette Chanterelle, Red Wine Jus, my companion had the free range Irish Chicken Supreme, Squash Puree, Lemon Gnocchi, Smoked Bacon & Tarragon Cream. Fabulous desserts were accompanied by a Fra Angelico digestif and an Irish coffee respectively. Food, service and wine recommendations were excellent.

To experience a spa destination like Monart is to receive a short, unforgettable education on how all spas should perform in Ireland. There was not one aspect that I could fault them on. I imagine how discerning they must be about the skincare brands they use and the food they source.

Quality pervades everything.

In the morning, before we departed, I experienced the Qi Dong class with Master Ma, my Shaolin masseuse. You can wear your robe while you do the gentle exercises. I felt alive and alert after it, even though it was slow moving and gentle.

Monart is five-star and adult only - they are also offering a ‘Great Escape’ this New Year’s Eve. To restore sanity and balance in your life I would recommend a trip!

Pevonia’s Power Repair Age Correction collection helps to prevent and repair wrinkles, pores and elasticity to the skin.

Pevonia Facials and skincare is available at Monart. The brand has recently released its seasonal giftware, so clients can re-create the experience at home.

Pevonia’s Stem Cells Phyto-Elite™ skincare collection provides plant stem

BUSINESS OF BEAUTY

Yule Sales It’s that time of year when you have to think about after sales - says Liz McKeon

A Session Joe McGlinchey talks about the perfect tanning session

W

hat is a session? It’s question I am regularly asked. “How many sessions a year is allowed?” This is determined by a number of factors: skin type; stage of tan; type of sunbed being used; output of the sunbed and length of the exposure.

The European Standard is based upon an exposure limit of 15 kilojoules per square metre per person per annum.

The Sunbed Association recommends that operators should put in place procedures to ensure that their customers are:• Aware of their own skin type (by self-assessment).

• Made aware of the session limit applicable to their skin type and the equipment being used • Made aware of the maximum exposure limits allowed in the European Standard In this context, the following information is also provided for guidance: Customers should receive a timed exposure to bring them up to their MED (Minimum Erythemal Dose, i.e. the point at which the skin goes slightly red some 8 to 24 hours following exposure to UV). For skin type 2 an individual MED is equivalent to around 250 joules per square metre. So, based on an annual exposure limit of 15,000 joules, this equates to around 60 sessions per person per year (15,000 divided by 250).

For more information about responsible use of sunbeds and benefits of membership of The Sunbed Association visit www.sunbedassociation.org.uk or call +353 (0) 1 6363 139 or email info@sunbedassociation.org.uk

T

he Christmas season is always an opportune time of the year to make some profit for your salon or Spa. Selling gift vouchers or gift cards is a great way to keep clients coming back and stay busy after the holiday season.

Gift vouchers can prompt multiple appointments because the voucher has already been paid for.

Continue to focus on increasing voucher sales all year round to help maintain a healthy cash flow, ensuring that they will attract more clients on a continual basis. Here are just five easy ways to increase your Christmas voucher sales: Place gift vouchers around the salon. Use these items as part of the décor, so that clients are aware that gift vouchers are available. The key to making sure these marketing materials don’t get lost in the décor is to move them around on a regular basis.

Change these items at least once per week to maximise exposure.

Send an email newsletter to your database highlighting the benefits of gift vouchers. Announcements about gift voucher availability can help to increase voucher sales and promote your brand. Make sure to time your email distribution appropriately. A 10day lead time before the Christmas rush is a good starting point to help clients begin thinking about giving a voucher.

Make sure your salon contains information about gift vouchers.

Ensure your website is up-to-date about how easy it is to purchase gift vouchers from you. Provide lots of information about gift vouchers availability, highlighting the benefits of giving a gift voucher to your salon.

Offer free gift wrapping. Clients and shoppers appreciate this extra touch and this step adds more perceived value to the purchase.

Invest in some eye-catching envelopes, decorative ribbon or small gift boxes for your vouchers and turn it into a real ‘gift’.

Include a coupon or offer with purchase. Give the giver a small gift such as a free product, a coupon for a future service they can use themselves, or a salon voucher with a smaller amount already loaded on to it. Incentives to purchase a gift voucher can boost sales and encourage more clients to turn to you instead of a competitor when narrowing down the field of choices.

Selling gift vouchers regularly helps to secure your business and the right marketing strategy can help to promote your brand. Use some of these tips, ideas and suggestions to increase gift voucher sales and keep your appointment book full, even during the non-holiday season!

Yule Issues It’s coming to the end of the year and everyone is trying to get the last few loose ends tied up in anticipation of the Christmas break and the New Year. Peninsula Business Services takes a look at a few issues that can arise Annual Leave Issues In Ireland, iTts the responsibility of the employer, not the employee, to ensure that employees have received their statutory minimum annual leave, and ultimately if an employee has not received their minimum leave entitlement it is the employer who may get in trouble with NERA, or a tribunal body should the employee take a claim. What can an employer do if the year is coming to an end and some of your employees have not yet used all of their annual leave?

Under the Organisation of Working Time Act, an employer is entitled to allocate an employee’s remaining annual leave. The Act does, however, require an employer to give the employee at least 30 days’ notice before allocating the remaining annual leave (although if the employee is agreeable then this is unlikely to be an issue).

Carry Over Annual Leave to the New Year While strictly speaking an employee should receive their minimum annual leave within the current leave year, an employer may carry over some of the employee’s annual leave entitlement to the next leave year, provided the employee is agreeable.

While left over annual leave days can be a problem they do not have to be a headache. By implementing one or more of the above an employer can effectively manage a

tricky situation. The best way forward however would be to introduce a clear annual leave policy into an employee’s handbook in order to prevent such leftover days. There are also options, such as Buy Back Policies available.

Trouble-free Christmas parties Do not insist that all staff attend the office Christmas party, even if the event is out of hours, remember that some people have family responsibilities that may prevent them attending. Provide clear written guidance to all employees about acceptable standards of behaviour at work-related social events, equal opportunities and harassment, as well as the disciplinary sanctions that could result from breaches of the rules. Make it clear that fighting, excessive alcohol consumption, the use of illegal drugs, inappropriate behaviour, sexist or racist remarks and comments about sexual orientation, disability, age or religion will not be tolerated. While party policies may seem Scrooge-like, they are appreciated precautions for employers and demonstrate that reasonable action has been taken to protect employees.

Season Of Skin Tis’ the Season to speak winter skincare - says The Skin Nerd, Jennifer Rock

W

e all know there are four seasons in one day in Ireland! Hail rain or shine - sure what else would we make small talk about ?! Let’s embrace the cold weather and tackle the repercussions it carries for our skin.

• SPF is still a core product. I tend to call it light as opposed to sun protection.

It saves a lot of eye rolling. UVA and infrared rays are still penetrating and breaking down the collagen and elastin fibres within the dermal deeper layer of the skin. Light protection should remain our best sellers as we wish to protect against the future not just repair the past • Hyaluronic acid is a key component to the natural moisturising ability within the skin however interestingly it draws moisture to the skin so if you are constantly in areas of dry heat it is not able to absorb moisture (as there is no moisture to absorb!) so it may not address the

www.salonmagazine.ie

issue as you may wish!

• A humidifier is ideal for that reason! Central heating, although needed, it offers dry heat - while a humidifier will keep the moisture in your environment (this has many heath benefits as opposed to just keeping the skin hydrated ) • Humidity and temperature changes can truly hinder the skin’s exfoliation process. Increasing the exfoliation protocols may be ideal. Similarly as the UVB rays and days are now no longer (were they present ?!) possible we can up the ante on the choice of exfoliation, glycolic, retinols, Kojics and other such photosensitive ingredients to target the cellular regeneration from deeper within • Retinoid reactions are more prone as the skin’s ph and ability to metabolise ingredients into the skin are altered. Remain cautionary while advising. An emollient and hydrating regime to coincide with this gamechanging ingredient is essential • Our immunity is lower as we battle off viruses and bacteria in our surroundings so let’s keep the skin’s tonic and multi vit levels at an all time high: antioxidants, minerals and amino acids. Let us provide the skin with the building blocks and ingredients to nurture and protect the skin • Feed the skin from within: literally! Protect DNA damage, hydrate, heal and seal through our diet so we optimise the results and offer long term skin health advise for all who are willing to listen!

The American Way Our front cover this issue is NovaLash’s American Volume. But what exactly is it? You may have heard of it and seen it in action at the Professional Beauty Show, but we give you an overview of the NovaLash treatment that will bring you the lash revenue you crave

W

ith the trend for thicker, fuller and longer-lasting lashes showing no signs of slowing down, clients are seeking out volume lash extensions, the next evolution in the industry. Volume lashes are created by placing multiple, thinner extensions on to each natural lash, rather than applying one-by-one.

Traditional Volume lash extensions create thicker, fuller looks, but up until now they have appeared heavy and unnatural and clients are looking for a softer, more natural appearance. So, what’s the secret to a natural-looking set of volume lash extensions? - American Volume by NovaLash.

American Volume is a unique advanced technique created

by NovaLash that trains advanced stylists in the art of creating a full, feathery set of lash extensions that appear natural, giving clients better results and more confidence. This is achieved with NovaLash’s unique ‘Foundation’ technique which eliminates obvious gaps along the lash line when extensions are shedding between maintenance appointments. And unlike traditional Russian Volume

methods that use one length to create a uniform strip-lash effect, the American Volume technique uses multiple lengths across the lash line to create a soft, natural texture that mimics our own natural lashes.

In addition to the overall look, clients will benefit from NovaLash’s award-winning High Speed Platinum Bond, which is both oil-proof, and instantly waterproof which means clients can immediately shower or sauna and continue using oil-based facial products. Plus, the new formula also speeds up drying time, so stylists can complete the service quickly and efficiently to save time for more business.

To find out more about American Volume by NovaLash visit www.

NovaLash.con. For stockist information email contact@NovaLash. com or call 00 44 1273 041 966.

We sent our Editor, Lucy Earley, along to get the lashes applied at the Professional Beauty Show.

Here’s an excerpt from her blog, lucyearley.com: “My stylist was the award-winning Scottish lash artist, Andrea McQuade, who was gentle and methodical. She was also long-suffering, having to listen to me harping on for two hours! The results were these comfortable and amazing looking lashes that saved me from having to put on mascara in the morning and made my eyes effortlessly glam and pretty without being OTT.”

INDUSTRY VOICES

Mila’s Legacy We chat to Claire Kenny of Sunaura about the Mila D’Opiz brand, its origins and evolution into a top Professional Skincare range

What’s the brand’s history, and what impressed you the most about it first?

The company was set up by a Swiss woman, Mila Opitz in 1938. The hormonal creams developed by her brought her respect and acknowledgment from many international skincare experts. Her hard work and disposition to risk made her into one of the most important Swiss pioneers of Anti – Ageing Cosmetics. She passed away in 1989, but the brand values of Mila D’Opiz define the promise: ever higher quality, naturalness, modernity, care and beauty.

For us, as the brand’s UK and Irish distributors, we were really impressed with the results-based, ingredients-driven skincare range at the leading edge of technology, and there is something for all price ranges and skin types/conditions.

What’s your most recent launch?

We were delighted to launch the Skin Whisperer range recently at Professional Beauty 2016.

This is an award-winning new skincare range for advanced anti-ageing at a deeper and more longer-lasting level than other anti-ageing products. Consisting of a retail cream and a serum, plus a luxury salon facial, this is a high-end, high-tech range which stimulates the skin’s own natural growth factors, delivering visibly firmer and younger-looking skin after only a few applications (and an instantly rejuvenated effect can be seen following the facial).

The Skin Whisperer range contains several world-leading innovations (5 x Plant Stem Cells, MDOintradermxyCom Complex, Snow Algae, and the very latest generation of Matrixyl peptides). The Skin Whisperer Cream was the first of the range to be launched in 2014, and went on to win the Beauty Oscar that year for Most Innovative Product at the BSB European Cosmetics Awards.

Plant stem cells have impressive rejuvenating powers (as can be seen in the way that plants regrow their shoots following pruning or damage).

Where do these plant stem cells come from?

The first stem cell in the world to be used for cosmetics was extracted from Uttwiler Spatlauber, which is a heritage Swiss apple variety. When used in cosmetics, it can help to slow down skin ageing. Mila D’Opiz led the world by using the apple stem cells alongside those of Comfrey in products developed more than 5 years ago. The Skin Whisperer range

www.salonmagazine.ie

also incorporates the multi-awardwinning Snow Algae Powder. It is extracted from a unique alga, which grows on glaciers and snow in some of the world’s most inhospitable polar regions. It survives by producing stress response molecules and these can be harnessed within skincare to stimulate the skin’s own cellular defence and energy system. It has been proven to improve cell to cell communication, resulting in a greater concentration of collagen and elastin in the skin after just 2 weeks. It has a proven firming and visible anti-wrinkle effect.

What do you recommend for sensitive or younger skin?

The Mila Sensitive range is designed to nourish and soothe delicate, normal and allergy-prone skin. It is designed with young skin in mind but is also very suitable for older, easily irritated skin. It contains the latest generation of Aloe Vera, which is renowned for its healing and soothing effects, as well as Bisabolol (which is extracted from chamomile). The other main active ingredients are also known for their soothing, nourishing, anti-inflammatory properties – Macadamia Nut Oil, Apricot Kernel Oil, Shea Butter, as well as Meadowfoam and Balloon Vine. When used regularly, this range can calm down the skin and bring it back into balance. Mila Sensitive is a very affordable range with professional and homecare products.

Who do you recommend the Mila D’Opiz Skin Vital Range for?

The Skin Vital range is designed for all skin types that are showing signs of external damage (sun, smoking) and internal damage (stress, illness). It is packed full of Vitamins A, C and E, plus Co-Enzyme Q10, to give the skin back its vitality. The natural ageing process slows down the skin’s ability to absorb vitamins internally, so the skin ages more quickly and becomes pale and tired-looking. Skin Vital is suitable for skin of all ages but especially damaged or stressed skin.

COMMUNITY TIMES

The Standard Salon talked to Tina Newman of BeautyBoard, Career Makers Group (BeautyBoard.ie & CIBHT College) about industry standards in SPMU and how important they are What challenges face the beauty industry if standards aren’t upheld?

A dip on client confidence and a raise in insurance rates across the board. Clients migrating from beauty to medical practitioners to receive level 4 + treatments - resulting in a massive loss of revenue industry wide. Which can also have a knock-on effect on our regular salon-based treatment. We can expect to see an increase, not just in individual lawsuits, but in class action claims as well. Overall, clients being very unhappy; tarring the entire beauty industry with the results from unqualified semi-permanent make-up practitioners.

What do you think is the solution?

It’s threefold in my opinion: Education: Anyone entering these fields should have a minimum of UK level 3 or Irish level 5 Diploma in anatomy, physiology and pathology. They should also be carrying a therapy qualification (minimum facial unit).

We believe the best form of education for advanced courses is blended learning, this is a combination of in-house training, practical work on live models and assessments with individual feedback. Not just an isolated two days without full professional back-up from experienced and industry savvy tutors

Group) have been in the training industry since 2004.

How long have they specialised in SPMU training?

Our team have specialised in brows, micropigmentation and tattooing for over a decade.

Are they using qualified tutors with industry specific qualifications?

All of our team are qualified tutors, assessors and IQAs. Do they have a back-up and support system in place?

Yes, we have developed a virtual learning environment which gives learners access to a wide variety of support materials as well as live tutor support.

Will they be able to provide you with product and ongoing product support?

It’s really important to know that if you train with a company that does not hold distribution for a brand, you will have to undergo further training to purchase machines and pigments from known brands! We are the sole distributors for Ecuri Cosmetics (a trusted name in this field since 1984).

What’s the worst case you’ve come across?

Regulation: Like other industries facing similar past challenges, Beautyboard.ie and CIBHT College have long fought for new regulation and legislation for advanced therapies such as micropigmentation, microblading and tattooing. We are proud to be associated with VTCT, who are in the process of developing a fully mapped and aligned microblading qualification to stand with their micropigmentation. We also work with recognised insurance companies such as Beauty Professional Insurance and Brian Mullins.

We are coming across people who have trained in these ‘pop up shops’ where their trainer is not a qualified tutor and does not have sufficient industry experience. It is not possible to learn these advanced skills with no previous experience and a two-day isolated course working on rubber matts! This type of ‘training course’ is accepting people without prerequisites, industry experience, therapy qualification or a tattooing background. They’re ultimately lawsuits waiting to happen.

Transparency: What we mean by transparency, and what you should know before booking a course, is as follows: How long has your chosen training company been in the industry of training?

Beautyboard.ie / CIBHT College (known as Career Makers

Over the past 24 months we have had to retrain and an inordinate number of students, who have ‘trained’ with other companies. One of the worst cases of training (or the lack thereof) was a student who had paid thousands for her ‘2 day’ training course and had all of her confidence knocked when the tutor told her she “was unable to teach someone who can’t learn”.

Worst case treatment: A client who had a tattoo parlour tattoo what can only be described as two very large blue/ black triangles onto the client brow area. We had to remove the pigment and reshape the brow as best we could. As tattoo pigment is very deep and dark it is the most difficult to remove.

Do you think it’s a matter of everyone pulling together?

We really feel that it’s a matter of the therapist choosing the correct educational centre and program. Insurers only work with reputable training centres. We at Career Makers Group are also working alongside the tattooing industry and the Irish government to create tougher legislation to ensure the future of our industry. www.beautyboard.ie.

• Tina Newman gains her Assessor Award Kevin Owen has been appointed as the head Semi-Permanent Make-up Tutor at beautyboard.ie.

Swiss Color Ireland will host a 2-day permanent make-up masterclass by Dolores Srok in February, 2017 in Galway. Dolores is a Croatian PMU artist who will specialise in two areas: eyeliner and lips.

“This masterclass will provide lots of handson practise and will introduce the the world’s first iron-oxide free pigment range, the Swiss Color OS to the technicians.

What is CIDESCO all about?

Only a fully qualified CIDESCO Therapist understands what it takes to achieve this qualification. It is the most difficult 10 months of study and learning, but the reward at the end to be a ‘CIDESCO’ therapist opens doors to career opportunities in Ireland and Internationally that are second to none.

The recent CIDESCO Congress held in Dublin announced the revamped Post Graduate CIDESCO Diploma. This allows Beauty Therapists who are already qualified in beauty and body to finally acquire their CIDESCO status. Teaching in any of the public school requires a CIDESCO qualification and now there is a way to complete the course whilst still working in the Industry.

Each student must complete a refresher course of at least 40 hours at a CIDESCO School. Home study is required for the Theory section of the course. A Theory and Practical exam must be completed as well as supporting the new project with case studies, also just introduced at this year’s Congress. For various reasons, Beauty Therapists may not have had the opportunity to complete a CIDESCO qualification when they trained initially, this Post Grad now offers that opportunity.

TRAINING – A KEY TO SUCCESS Joe McGlinchey of the Sunbed Association takes a look at training Properly trained staff are an essential element when delivering a professional sunbed service. The Sunbed Association (TSA) offers a number of training options available to members and non-members.

Some of the key areas that need to be understood include what UV light is and how the skin tans; skin types and how people react to UV exposure; customer screening and contra-indications; eye protection; record keeping; sunbed maintenance and servicing; health and safety; risk assessment and emergency procedures.

Staff need to have the confidence to say ‘no’ to indoor tanning where appropriate and certainly to anyone under the age of 18, directing them to other available options such as spray tanning. As with all scenarios, a confident and knowledgeable staff engenders trust in the client and reassures them about any concerns they may have, which in turns helps ensure client retention and referrals.

To find out more about TSA’s training options and how we can support your business visit our website or get in touch by phone or email. If you are attending the Professional Beauty show in Dublin, why not come and have a chat with me and other TSA representatives on the Bronze Direct stand.

TRUTHS AND MYTHS ABOUT PERMANENT MAKE-UP: In recent years, the popularity of permanent make-up has sky-rocketed. An especially popular treatment is the reconstruction of eyebrows using the microblading method. In the first of two-parts Salon chatted to Aleksandra Pawlak-Gudej a micropigmentation trainer and the owner of Butterfly Effect Beauty Salon about the nitty gritty of training in micro-pigmentation.

Is permanent make-up permanent?

No. The correct name for permanent make-up is semi-permanent make-up. However, its shortened form - permanent make-up - is commonly used. A properly made cosmetic tattoo should persist for up to two years. This, contrary to what clients think, does not mean that for two years eyebrows will look the same.

Permanent make-up can discolour or fade unevenly. Thus, every 1-1.5 years an adjustment procedure is recommended. Clients often do not understand the process, because no advertising mentions what in the future may result in the client’s disappointment. To avoid this, one should inform the patient before the procedure about the necessity of treatment every 1-1.5 years.

Is permanent make-up a one-step procedure?

No. Permanent make-up is not a one-step procedure. To obtain satisfactory results, the treatment should be repeated after about 1-3 months after the first procedure.

The number of repetitions depends on

many factors and is not 100% predictable. It depends on the type of skin, external factors, age and the client’s lifestyle.
