Business News HERMONEY LAUNCHES

EXPORTS INCREASE TO THE EUROZONE

If you’re a self-employed beauty professional it might be an idea to check out HerMoney. It’s a brand new division of CWM Wealth Management Ltd and has been set up by Managing Director Carol Brick and her team of finance professionals to provide a dedicated financial advisory service to Self Employed Professional Women all over Ireland.

A CWM survey interviewed 106 self-employed professional women and found that: Only 47% had private pension plans in place. 45% claimed to have pension policies in place from previous employment contracts with 52% never having reviewed these policies with no idea re how they were performing or even how much they would be worth in retirement. 50% of those surveyed did not have appropriate life cover in place and over 70% were unaware of the advantages of same.

Only a mere 20% of respondents had appropriate income protection cover in place.

Carol, a busy working mother herself identified the necessity to make similar businesswomen more aware of the huge importance of appropriate Pension and Protection planning.

It’s interesting to note that ‘it’ is happening already, the Brexit fallout. The Irish are showing their resourceful savvy by increasing exports to the Eurozone. There has been a slowdown in growth of Irish exports to UK as Brexit highlights the need to diversify. Enterprise Ireland has announced that its clients recorded export sales of €21.6bn in 2016, representing a 6 per cent increase on 2015. Export growth to the UK, however, which accounted for €7.5bn of exports, slowed from 12 per cent in 2015 to 2 per cent in 2016. The slowdown was largely due to a decline in food exports.

The Eurozone strategy will see a number of new initiatives: Increase in funding for Eurozone growth: Enterprise Ireland will increase the level of funding available to support clients to enter or scale in the Eurozone. These include: • Eurozone Market research & feasibility grants • Eurozone market access grants for market expansion • Business innovation/R&D grants for product localisation • ‘Eurozone’ key manager grant • Management development training & access to language supports • International Graduate Programme with Eurozone language skills • Funding for trade event participation in Eurozone countries Enhanced Company supports: Enterprise Ireland will invest in a range of tools for exporters to the Eurozone including enhanced access to market research on Eurozone sectoral opportunities, new specialist Eurozone market guides, learning tools and Peer2Peer support. The agency will also expand its Ireland based and in-market #Global Ambition campaigns to inspire exporters and connect with buyers.

DYLAN BRADSHAW

Festival Number Dylan Bradshaw takes us through our festival style paces

F

or those not wanting to commit to a change of colour but wanting to try a fun look during the festival season why not try our fashion forward Mohawk using knots!

Prep: This style works best on day old hair which is perfect for people who are camping during festival season. Tecni Art Liss Control (150ml)

by L’Oréal Professionnel €17.50 is applied through the lengths and ends of towel-dried hair then blast dry. This product works to tame rebellious hair and leaves it looking healthy and shiny.

Style: We took this look section by section, firstly pulling a front section of hair away from the face and knotting, repeating this process until we reached the nape of the neck. Knots are pulled, twisted in a distressed way and we are left with wisps of hair which fall naturally around the face and around the style.

Dress: Tecni Art Super Dust by L’Oréal Professionnel €16.00 is then brushed through the hair, giving the look height with a lightweight and invisible finish.

INDUSTRY VOICES

La Sothys

Salon Editor, Lucy Earley, was treated to a Sothys facial by Chleo Enterprises, distributors of the Sothys, DMK, ARTDECO and MISSLYN ranges

W

hen you think of Sothys, the first word that probably comes to mind is luxury. I had an important event coming up so a trip to Chleo Enterprises’ HQ couldn’t have come at a better time.

Trainer and Head Therapist, Emma McEneaney guided me through the latest Sothys’ releases, including the six new Youth Serums and the very salubrious Secrets Creme 128 (which retails for €500!). I always like to get behind a brand’s ethos and Sothys, like all high-end spa / salon brands is very passionate about the sensorial experience (each facial treatment incorporates their Digi-Esthetique massage - an exclusive massage method which is a signature part of each salon experience) and the ultimate result for the client. They also seem to have the kind of R&D department many skin care brands can only dream of, with ingredients extracted from the natural world in molecular form, I had a love-affair with their Hyaluronic range a while back and there was an extract of a rare mushroom in it.

Emma performed the Secrets facial treatment on the day.

This treatment is an exclusive duo of Sothys’ Rose Stem cells and precious porcelain oil, which have a preventative and repairing action. The facial treatment contains eight steps combining high performance masks and ice effect smoothing. She then applied the Unifying Youth Serum, which contains vectorised peptides that help reduce the

www.salonmagazine.ie

appearance of colour imperfections.

April saw the launch of the Sothys Youth Serums; six high performance serums inspired by dermo aesthetic techniques, meaning all the signs of time can now be targeted.

After that, came the piece de resistance!

La Creme 128. In the clinicial trials it showed a 100% satisfaction rate with the texture of the skin, visibly reducing wrinkles. It showed up to 43% effectiveness on wrinkles, 38% effectiveness on crow’s feet and a 37% in the nasogenian furrow. Physically, La Crème 128 is presented in an exquisite porcelain jar, made exclusively by renowned French artist, Bernardaud.

It contains curious ingredients, including: the Sothys Rose, specially created in honour of its founder, bigarade flower extracts, rose stem cells and peach leaf extract - which reinforces the skin’s natural defences. It was a wonderful experience and the effects lasted for days after. My skin seemed to have more uptake of products, and a good deal more radiance.

SPA REVIEW

Front Of House The Spa Spy visits Portmarnock Hotel’s newly opened Spa

T

o be honest, my mum and I don’t usually catch a break! Kids, grandchildren - our busy lives get in the way. So we jumped at the opportunity to get a bit of spa downtime. The first thing I noticed about the new Spa at Portmarnock Hotel is the really impressive architecture.

It’s a new addition to the older building but it works really well. It launched in October 2016 and we heard about it through another relative who had recently visited and sang its praises.

The hotel is also located along the seashore, and it feels like you’re in the countryside near the sea. I suppose in a way you are, but you’re also nicely near all the major routes, like the M50 - and the airport.

Inside is beautiful, elegant and we were immediately feeling a bit chilled out when were met by my friendly therapist, Tatiana. Tatiana led me to my therapy room where she performed a relaxing Elemis mini-facial, which included a pressure-point massage that I had never experienced before, it eased away tension in my face - that I didn’t think was there, but it must have been - owing to my relaxed expression afterwards.

www.salonmagazine.ie

She then performed a really firm back and gentle head massage that was just what I needed.

Mum had a Carita facial and a pedicure, both of which she enjoyed immensely. Ludmila was her therapist - whose calm and experience really helped as my mum can be nervous when getting a pedi done.

We tend to chat a lot when we’re together but even when we went into the luxurious relaxation room we were silent. Not because of the unwritten rule that you ‘must be quiet in the relaxation room’ but more because we were just enjoying the space in time that we had, where there was no ‘Mum!!’ being called or dinner to be made. Bliss!

The whole experience was professional, friendly and relaxed, no wonder they won in the IMAGE Business of Beauty Awards as best ‘Front of House Team’. Very well-deserved!

The Spa at Portmarnock has a ‘Half Day Heaven’ package, priced at €100 per person and includes: choice of a Carita or Elemis taster facial, back and head massage and file and polish, followed by lunch in The Seaview restaurant.

D-Day

Ashford Voice

Jennifer Rock, aka The Skin Nerd talks about Vitamin D and its impact on skincare

We take a look at the career of Michelle Ryan, Spa Manager of the Ashford Spa What do you feel epitomises a five star spa: the staff, environment, treatments or relaxation areas?

I would have to say, a combination of all of the above. Our spa menu offers an extensive variety of health and beauty enhancing treatments to ensure that our guests are nurtured, purified, pampered and relaxed.

Can you tell us more about the B|Africa range, exclusive to Ashford Castle?

B | Africa products and treatments, harness the essential, life giving properties of Mother Nature’s rich bounty to calm, detoxify, nourish and energise body, mind and spirit.” B | Africa is the signature product range in the ultra-luxurious Spas at The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa in Cape Town, The Oyster Box in Durban and Bushmans Kloof Wilderness Reserve & Wellness Retreat in the Cederberg Mountains along with The Spa at Ashford Castle.

What does 2017 hold for Ashford Castle Spa?

V

itam D is a fat soluble vitamin, which is in much demand by many on this island thanks to our delightful sunny weather - or lack thereof! After a long, dark winter and a fairly erratic spring, a serum laced with what’s known as the “sunshine vitamin” seems promising!

While you probably know that your body naturally produces Vitamin D when skin is exposed to UVB rays (rays present only during April- September due to our geographical location in Ireland!) or that you can ingest it via oral supplements or foods such as milk, fortified orange juice, and essential fatty fish to boost immunity and promote bone and heart health, the ingredient’s topical benefits are a more recent discovery. Although not clinically proven it’s an interesting concept Indeed!

Many dermatolgists are championing vitamin D2 (D3 is the form that works internally) as a new way to turn back the hands of time.

It is a key ingredients in skin health. So, think of that summer holiday glow, more the radiance and sheen that the skin is provided with, the healing ability the rays offer a psoriasis-affected hand, hair growth and nail stimulation.

The best way to determine your need for this vitamin would be via a trip to your local gp to have bloods taken to check for the deficiency.

For skin health it’s beneficial for: • Skin renewal • Skin pigment • Skin health • Skin DNA repair • Skin volume

www.salonmagazine.ie

Having opened 18 months ago, the Spa at Ashford Castle is still very much in the growth and development stage - finding our niche in the market of Spa and enhancing the wellness experience within the resort of Ashford Castle. We are of course hoping to claim more industry awards throughout the year with the dedication and skill of our wonderful Spa Team.

What are the most challenging and rewarding parts of working in the spa industry?

For me, the most challenging aspect is ensuring that I choose the right team. We need to work and gel as a team, as this drives performance.

I love it when guests comment that they have been to spas all over the world and this was the best experience they’ve ever had.

What has surprised you most about working in the spa industry?

It’s surprising how fast-paced the industry is. Despite the new and everchanging therapies, I feel that guests will always revert to what they know and what will deliver the best results for them.

How would you sum up your personal philosophy?

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition— lead by example with kindness, passion and compassion.

What’s the best advice you’ve received?

A setback is never a bad experience – it’s just a learning curve. Having served in a role that I loved during the recession was challenging, but I will always remember to pick myself up and brush myself off and the phrase: What’s meant for me will not pass me by. And now look where my journey has taken me… to Ashford Castle!

Thief!

Profiteer

Unfortunately, some staff members in this world have cleptomaniac tendancies! lan Hickey, Head of Legal and Advisory for Peninsula Business Services, comments on how employers can deal with theft in the workplace

Need some tips to build up profits?

Liz McKeon tells you how!

O

n the range of disciplinary offences that an employee could possibly commit, theft certainly ranks as one of the most serious. Unfortunately, theft in the workplace is an issue that is encountered by salon owners all too often. The problem that employers will face is identifying what steps they should take to prevent theft from occurring in the first place and also how to deal with workplace theft should it occur.

Preventing Theft Here are a number of measures that employers can introduce to reduce the likelihood of theft occurring, such as: • Effective written company policies can outline the company’s views on theft and its expectations of its employees in this regard.

• A written Disciplinary Procedure can outline what processes would be followed should misconduct arise and, particularly, that dismissal could result from any incidents of theft.

• A lot of companies will install CCTV in the workplace. It is advisable that notices are placed in the workplace advising of the use of CCTV and also that cameras are obviously visible so that employees are aware of their presence.

Steps to Take if an Employee Is Suspected of Theft The importance of a fair investigation and disciplinary procedure cannot be underestimated. Generally speaking, a fair procedure would be along the following lines: Investigation: the employer should conduct a comprehensive investigation whereby all relevant evidence and witness statements is documented. Importantly, the purpose of this stage is to find evidence/facts. It is also often advisable to suspend the accused employee with pay during the investigation process.

Disciplinary: should the investigation suggest that theft may have occurred then the employee should be invited to a disciplinary hearing.

In advance of the hearing, the employee should have been notified of their right to be accompanied by a fellow employee or trade union representative at the hearing, they should be notified of the precise allegation, they should receive all relevant evidence, and they should be made aware of what the potential disciplinary sanction might be.

Appeal: if the employee receives a disciplinary sanction up to and including dismissal then they do have the right to appeal that decision. Again, the employee has the right to be accompanied at this hearing and this process should be conducted by someone who was not involved in the investigation or disciplinary stage and by someone who is not subordinate to the disciplinary officer.

J

ust because you can pencil profit into the financial section of your business plan, doesn’t mean it will automatically happen.

Profit is how we keep score in business and when it comes to profit, we want to be winning. As a business owner, you have to commit fully to ‘minding your own business’ in order to generate the profits you seek. Here are my top 5 tips to making your salon business more profitable: Use Good Resources To operate a profitable small business, you must constantly evaluate the productivity gains from your employees and resources. You cannot afford to waste with a small company. Do not employ anybody without knowing the potential return on investment for your business. Before buying equipment or supplies, consider the direct or indirect impact the investment has on your bottom line.

Use Monthly Sales Goals It is difficult to achieve profits without hard work. If you always focus on monthly sales goals, then you will focus on weekly sales objectives. By doing this on a regular basis you will always stay focused on marketing activities. Too often, salon business owners stay focused on services and don’t fill the sales pipeline.

Always look for Efficiency Gains The key to maximising profit potential in a small business is to always look for efficiency gains. Look for ways to save, for example, could you save €100 per month: reduce banking fees, change to light efficiency bulbs, do routine cleaning, etc? Efficiency isn’t just about cost reduction, find ways to get the same or greater value with a lower investment.

Increase Revenue The basic principle to optimising your profits lies in your ability to increase your revenue at a higher ratio than your costs. In the short term, you need to generate the maximum value from each client and upsell them additional products and services to get more business. By focusing on your customer experience, that will lead to word of mouth referrals and repeat business. It’s much cheaper to keep a loyal client than to secure a new one.

Pricing Strategy Evaluate your pricing strategies to enhance profits and make your business more profitable. Don’t undersell your services.

Precise and correct pricing attracts the right buyers who are willing to pay for quality. Regular discounting establishes a price orientation with clients and minimises gross margin.

Basically, the road to profitability includes an emphasis on eliminating waste, optimising revenue while reducing and controlling costs.

BEAUTY BIZ

Here Comes The Sun Up your sunless tanning game this summer thanks to Insanity Tan

I

Lotion Commotion Hands up if you’ve ever been asked by a client if it’s ok to use an SPF lotion on the sunbed? I guarantee you will be in the minority if you haven’t, says Joe McGlinchey

A

lthough similar to tanning in the sun, indoor tanning is a controlled dose of UV, so using an SPF cream on a sunbed would considerably hinder the tanning result. Your clients will, however, benefit from using a lotion or cream that has been specifically designed for sunbed use and your business will also benefit as indoor tanning lotions represent an excellent revenue generator alongside sessions and courses.

Advising your clients to keep their skin moisturised is important, as drier skin will deflect the UV light. Moisturised skin, on the other hand, will

www.salonmagazine.ie

absorb the UV light, helping to influence the tanning process for a faster, deeper, darker tan.

There are many different lotions offering a range of benefits and as with all elements of your tanning business, training is important to ensure staff are confident with detailed product knowledge to be able to inform and advise your clients according to their individual tanning needs.

For more information about responsible use of sunbeds and benefits of membership of The Sunbed Association visit www. sunbedassociation.org.uk or call 016 363 139 or email info@ sunbedassociation.org.uk To contact Joe McGlinchey directly call 0044 7553 383455.

s that the first signs of summer we see? As temperatures begin to rise, the annual ritual of ditching the layers begins, which brings with it the question: “Which tan will I use?”

If you haven’t heard about them, here’s the scoop… Insanity Tan products are comprised of only the finest natural and organic ingredients, for a tan like never before.

Its hypoallergenic formulas work in perfect harmony to nourish skin so it’s sensationally soft to the touch. Plus, its tanning products are infused with an expert blend of ingredients, including anti-ageing white tea extract and aloe vera. And, they’re even free from parabens, alcohol, sodium laurel sulphates, perfumes, and all other nasties commonly found in other brands. All Insanity Tan products are vegan-friendly and animal cruelty-free too!

For clients who love the feeling that only comes with a spray tan, Insanity Tan have met their demands for a flawless tan.

Its professional solutions have been carefully created using a unique odour neutralising formula, meaning there’s no nasty tanning smell, perfect for tanning on the go. With four strengths; 8%, 11%, 14%, and the new Bridal Tan colour, the collection offers something for all skin tones. And of course, every spray tan develops into beautiful caramel colours, which clients can’t get enough of.

Because clients want to experience that insanely gorgeous golden glow at home, the collection includes a range of retail products which are

flying off the shelves! Its bronzing mousses are available in light, medium, dark and ultra dark for intense colour, meaning all skin tones can enjoy the benefits of these tans.

While they might be new on the tanning scene, Insanity Tan can already be found in beauty salons and spas across the UK. The brand is also the title sponsor of the Miss Northern Ireland contest, where the collection originates.

Want to join the Semi Permanent Brow Revolution but FEAR is holding you back?

Fear of creating the wrong shape?

Fear of cutting the client’s skin?

Fear of making mistakes and dealing with an angry client?

Read on and you’ll fear no more….

The Beauty World has been rocked over the last few years with the demand for Beautiful Brows. Some like them big and dark, some like them skinny and light, WE like them looking right for our CLIENT. With emBrowdery, the emphasis is on creating the RIGHT brow shape for the individual face shape, skin tone and personality. emBrowdery also allows THE CLIENT to be in control. The first treatment does not make the brow semi-permanent. The client has four weeks to gather feedback from their loved ones on how their new BROW shape suits them and then they decide whether they want to proceed. YOU take any changes they want to make into account, and “voila” you are on the road to creating the perfect brows.

You can do all this WITHOUT pain. We do NOT blade DOWN into the skin, rather we pluck UP tiny insertions into the skin, similar to the minute holes created in the skin when plucking out unwanted brow hair. We all know that this does not create scarring in the skin. All the client

feels is a sensation similar to hair being plucked, slightly uncomfortable but definitely not painful. There will be no scabbing, no sloughing and no unsightly looking brows. The brows will look significantly lighter as we are now seeing the same quantity of pigment THROUGH the layers of the skin. We gradually build up the pigment over the full three treatments and the end result is perfect looking brows for YOUR CLIENT’s face shape.

Up To My Eyes salon in Greystones has done this treatment 8,000 times over the last four years. We dedicate our days to the constant challenge of getting the RIGHT brow shape for our clients. We are fully qualified to carry out the treatment and fully qualified to teach you how to do this treatment. We are the perfect one stop shop to train you in this amazing art.

Up To My Eyes Academy is a VTCT Approved Centre. It’s time to stop making excuses and just call us @ 01 2872781.

5 1&2 How to Get Fuller Brows in 8 Easy Steps 3

D

istinct brows are making a comeback in a very big way. Paying homage to stars such as Brooke Shields and Cindy Crawford, celebrities like Cara Delevingne and Lily Collins have put this look back on the map and now women are trying to recreate their signature style any way that they can!

“When we wanted to learn how to create the perfect brow, we knew exactly who we wanted to talk to” says Tina Newman, owner of BeautyBoard.ie. Eyebrow expert to the stars Sumita Batra has been in business over 25 years and worked with stars such as Madonna, Sharon Stone and Jennifer Lopez.

Beauty Board are excited to launch Sumita Cosmetics to Beauty Salons in Ireland.

STEP 1 Start with clean, dry brows.

STEP 2 To measure the starting and ending points of the brow, simply take the brow brush and align it vertically from the middle of the nostril to the brow bone. This is the starting point of your brow.

Then take the brush and align it from the tip of your nose through the center of the iris and onto the brow bone. This is the highest point of your brow arch. Finally, hold the brush from the corner of your nostril to the outside corner of the eye and onto the brow bone. This is where your brow should end.

6 7

4 STEP 3 (THREAD + SHAPE ) Thread any wanted hair. Sumita use the figure of 8 method.

STEP 4 (CONCEAL + PRIME + CORRECT) Sumita brow concealer was formulated to create a flawless canvas and to hide imperfections and soothe irritated skin. With ingredients such as vitamin E and jojoba oil, this pencil creates a soothing effect on the skin.

STEP 5 (Fill + SHAPE) Using the Sumita oval tip pencil use short dashlike strokes to mimic your natural hairs, softly fill in any sparse areas with a pencil. “Choose the colour that best matches your brows and fill in really lightly so it’s barely there,” Tina says.

STEP 6 (Fill + SHAPE) Using an angled brush and a Sumita Duo coloured pressed powder, define the shape of your brows even more. “The goal is to really have the most even brows, but try not to overly fill in the inside corners of the brows or make the end points too harsh,” Tina says.

After STEP 7 (SET + HOLD+SOFTEN) To set the look and hold the hairs in place, comb through brows with a coloured gel.

Their top-selling wax pencil was developed to prep + prime and to set brows easily, while maintaining a flexible hold. The unique formula of this pencil is firm yet non-sticky, and will not flake or leave a residue behind.

AFTER (ENJOY + PLAY) Perfectly defined brows help to frame your entire face and to bring out your eyes, with or without additional makeup. The mini pencil sets feature the same best-selling formula as our waterproof liners and come in two sets, Darks, and Lights.

ovaLash’s award-winning Platinum Bond adhesives have revolutionised and transformed the lash extension industry while upholding the brand’s effortless beauty ethos.

As the only adhesive on the market to be instantly oil and water-proof, NovaLash’s Platinum Bond adhesive has scooped a number of prestigious industry awards for innovation due to its unique and revolutionary, patent-pending properties.

The myth surrounding professional eyelash extensions being a highmaintenance service has been well and truly busted by NovaLash,á as the adhesive allows clients to immediately shower, swim and enjoy the steam room or sauna as soon as their extensions have been applied.

Clients can also continue using their favourite oil-based products without

www.salonmagazine.ie

affecting the bond of the extensions, which is completely unique to NovaLash and often comes as a welcomed surprise.

What’s more, as a result of the rapid drying time of the new High Speed Platinum Bond, lash artists are able to apply NovaLash extensions quicker than ever before, while still creating beautiful, lasting results. Plus, due to the adhesives’ strength, clients can go up to 4 weeks between infill appointments as long as they are given the right aftercare and maintenance guidelines from the salon.

Available to buy direct from NovaLash UK, a 5g bottle of Platinum Bond adhesive is priced at £65+ VAT and will cover 50-75 applications, depending on usage.

A self-confessed rule breaker, Aisling prefers not to rely too much on ‘trend’ to create her unique style of make-up, but to be inspired by the photographer, designer and stylist, or sometimes, something as simple as a piece of lace and a little bit of imagination!
