Advertorial Spotlight

CUSTOMER SERVICE FIRST IMPRESSIONS LAST

What simple initiatives could you start in your salon/spa to help boost customer loyalty? Beauty business expert Liz McKeon gives her tips. The fastest and easiest way to increase client loyalty is by improving the quality of the customer service that your salon delivers. When you take care of your clients very well, they tell others, and this will have a ripple effect. It’s then that you know you have delivered on the quality of the service. When you do this every time, with every client, you will see client loyalty, retention and referrals seriously escalate.

Two of these conclusions are death to your business. Obviously, dislike is bad, but so is the indifferent client because this is a temporary client. Once you make a great first impression on a new client, then you must do everything to ensure your client leaves feeling happy, looking forward to returning and happy to recommend you. Remember, outstanding customer service is the key to customer loyalty!

A new client will develop an impression about your employee, and your business, in their first seven seconds with your therapist. In that tiny slice of time, they will judge your employee in 11 different ways, all of which will affect how likely it is that they will do business with you again. The 11 ways (in no particular order) are: cleanliness, courtesy, credibility, confidence, friendliness, helpfulness, knowledge, professionalism, attractiveness, understanding and responsiveness. The outcome of these judgements is important - clients will roll these judgements into one opinion of your business, which will determine how likely they are to become a repeat client. The decision they make is one of the following three conclusions: they like your employee – and therefore your salon; they dislike your employee – and therefore your salon; or they are indifferent.

Beauty business expert Liz McKeon specialises in business development in the beauty, hair and spa industry. For information about online courses, workshops and one-to-one business mentoring, check out www.lizmckeon.com or call 00353 1 892 8007.

FREE SURPRISE BAG worth â&#x201A;Ź40

Venus Concept has announced the launch of the new hair removal system, the Venus Velocity. With the proved efficacy of diode laser technology, and a real-time cooling system, Venus Velocity provides the optimal balance between high energy absorption of melanin chromophores and deep penetration into the skin, making it safe and effective for all skin types, including tanned skin. Venus Velocity features an ergonomic applicator with three changeable spot sizes, which are quick and easy to change, and the applicator is designed for long hours of use with minimal risk of repetitive strain injury or operator fatigue. The device offers ultra-fast treatments, with a repetition rate that can go as high as 10Hz, and has two modes of operation: slide and pulse mode. Pulse mode delivers higher energy to tissue at a lower repetition rate, which results in higher clinical efficacy and fewer treatment sessions. In pulse mode, the higher power enables high energy at shorter pulse duration.

www.blankcanvascosmetics.com info@blankcanvascosmetics.com

www.salonmagazine.ie

Slide mode, wherein the applicator is smoothly and continuously moved over the treatment area, delivers high repetition rate of short pulses, which achieves high average power with full coverage and greater patient comfort. In slide mode, lower power and intensive cooling with heat accumulation enable efficient treatments. The unique ability to use either mode provides unparalleled versatility and enhances operator control.

It features a superior grip for all hair types and delicate fragrance that calms the senses. It’s colophony-free, won’t irritate skin and other ingredients include vegetable oil, titanium dioxide, beeswax and glyceryl rosinate.

Beauty Products Ireland introducing three NEW peelable waxes: from Outback Organics

www.hennessyhb.ie

Outback Organics Jade Wax

Perfect for female use, the Jade Peelable wax has a cool, fresh and feminine aroma, offering an alternative for face and under arms. The calming essence of eucalyptus soothes the skin.

MEN’S HAIR-FREE AMBITIONS!

The silky lightweight formula is best spread in thin, even layers encompassing micro circulation technology and is simply peeled off by hand, which means there is no need to use strips or cloth. In addition to this, it is quick setting and fast drying, which for busy salons and busy clients, is far more economical, maintaining a high standard in results.

Outback Organics Onyx Peelable Wax

Supporting pros in expanding their treatment menus to offer male waxing treatments, Sweet Squared, exclusive distributors for premium waxing brand wax:one, is rolling out Male Grooming and Male Intimate waxing courses across the UK and Ireland from July. The male wax:one education is split into two separate courses, so therapists have the choice of which male waxing treatments they offer. There is a course for the waist up (wax:one Male Grooming) or the waist down (wax:one Male Intimate).

Designed to make waxing an exclusive experience, the Onyx Peelable Wax is the perfect unisex option, offering a masculine, earthy aroma. There is no need for cloth or paper strips, instead patches peel smoothly from the skin. The silky, lightweight formula is best applied in larger areas, in thin even layers encompassing micro circulation technology. Flexibility means that the Onyx wax is smooth and subtle and therefore avoids strings being left behind as you apply the wax. Quick setting and fast drying also means that it is economical and allows salons to fit more of their clients into a busy working day.

Opal Peelable Wax 500g

(01) 408 9191

The latest thing in strip-free waxing – a fast drying hypoallergenic wax containing a blend of three indigenous Australian plums: Kakadu Plum, Illawarra Plum and Burdekin Plum for ultra-sensitive skins. Its low melting point, pliability, ease of application and exceptional client comfort takes waxing to the next level with its incredible adhesive properties and virtually no skin pull. Outback Opal is also vegan friendly as it contains no beeswax or other animal by-product and uses up to 60pc less product than traditional hot wax making it economical and extremely easy to use.

HYGIENIC WAXING SYSTEM

FIVE-STAR TREATMENT

PhD Safewax is a quick, no-mess and hygienic waxing system. Its unique, patented application method provides a thin layer of high quality wax which gives less discomfort for the clients. Disposable applicator heads have a single gate mechanism to prevent wax from re-entering the tube, eliminating the dangers of cross contamination. The applicator head can be screwed onto the wax tube and disposed of after each client which removes the risk of cross-contamination between clients.

SKIN SHIELD

RETINOID RENEWAL

Derma-cosmeceutical brand Nimue Skin Technology has added to its range of innovative, results-led products with the launch of its Sun-C Environmental Shield SPF50. A pioneering full spectrum product, the new formula is clinically proven to ‘shield’ the skin from free radicals and offer high protection against the key causes of premature ageing; UVA, UVB, Infared and – the lesser known pollutant – high energy visible light from smartphones, computer screens and blue light. Meanwhile, the brand is launching its 12 Week Challenge, a consumer-facing campaign aiming to give clients a new-found selfconfidence. Inspired by the ever-popular #nomakeup trend, the ‘challenge’ aims to help women achieve the skin they have always desired and ultimately, ditch their foundation.

Juliette Armand’s innovative new skincare launches continue to excite with the introduction of Retinoid 3%. This oily serum contains the powerful active ingredient Retinoid HPR, which offers multiple actions without irritating the epidermis. Retinoid 3% reduces fine lines and wrinkles, neutralises the action of free radicals and protects the skin from oxidative stress. Furthermore it improves the appearance of skin by treating discolorations and age spots. “Juliette Armand uses a new version of Retinoid called Retinoid HPR, which is non-irritating and non-phototoxic. This means you can use it daily straight away and it won’t leave the skin sensitised,” said Clare O’Hanlon, business development manager and Juliette Armand trainer.

SKINJEXION TREATMENT This innovative combination of three hi-tech active ingredients acts rapidly on facial wrinkles. They are the ‘No Age VXN’ antioxidant that slows wrinkle formation; ‘BTX’ synaptic agent that relaxes skin contraction, leading to wrinkle smoothing; and high molecular weight hyaluronic acid to fill the wrinkle.

THE SKIN CLINIC

Rasa Levinaite

The Wicklow Street Clinic, nestled in the heart of the hustle and bustle of Dublin 2, is also the distributor of Eminence Organic Skincare. With its incredible properties and environmental pedigrees, the brand has expanded to spas and salons throughout Ireland, including Faithlegg House, The Portmarnock Spa and Castle Leslie. Salon Magazine caught up with managing director Rasa Levinaite

he Wicklow Street Clinic is primarily a skin clinic as opposed to a Dublin day spa. With consistent five-star reviews, the clinic has amassed a cult following in Dublin due to its excellent team of professionals as well as its sought-after Eminence facials. Skin and its correct treatment is taken very seriously at 13 Wicklow Street.

What do you love most about what you do?

How did you start out in the beauty industry?

Seeing a happy customer who is wowed by his or her treatment afterwards. I’ve seen some women come in and they’re visibly transformed with treatments like CACI synergy (the non-surgical face-lifting treatment), a course of skin-correcting anti-ageing facials like Eminence’s peel range, which can hugely impact problem skin, q-Fraq lasering and microneedling.

I am a qualified accountant. I grew up in Lithuania and moved to Ireland over 17 years ago. I started out working as a chambermaid in Galway, which was good honest work but I was a little isolated and really wanted to work in Dublin. I remember reading a quote that said ‘her success is not proof that you’re failing, it’s proof that it’s possible’. That inspired me at the time and I have always thought that it’s a good quote to remember. I took the chance and moved to Dublin and then got a job in a beauty salon on Wicklow Street. I worked my way up to become manager and when the owner retired I acquired the business, which is now The Wicklow Street Clinic!

The new Acne Advanced collection A/W 2018

My staff and customers! I know that sounds really clichéd but my staff are like a family; they’re a bunch of wonderful women. They’re passionate about helping clients get the best results.

What do find most rewarding?

I love working with an ethical brand too. Eminence is really unique as it’s organic, they use solar and wind energy to make the products and they also plant a tree for every product sold. So that’s 10 million trees planted in sub-Saharan Africa and other parts of the developing world.

What’s new with Eminence? Eminence has just launched a new Acne Advanced range that promises to eradi-

cate acne in 28 days, but also it promises to decrease acne scars and unevenness years after it affected you. There is an in-salon Pro Salicylic Acid Peel 15%, which is recommended. We are also really promoting our anti-ageing ranges, including the retinol alternative Bamboo Age Corrective Masque and Bamboo Firming Fluid. Eminence is loved by celebs, the latest one being Meghan Markle. She loves the Coconut Age Corrective Moisturiser!

Reviews of Eminence (#noad): “Their [Eminence Organic] Vitamin C Heat Facial could very well change your life!” Alana Laverty, Lovin Dublin “We got an Eminence Facial and it transformed our skin. I hadn't noticed how dull and grey my skin had been before the Eminence Facial; after it looked bright and glowy” Miriam Burke, Beaut.ie “For some really sophisticated skincare, book in for an Eminence facial. This powerful, potent facial delivers phenomenal results...” Triona McCarthy, Sunday Independent. “It’s like a reset for your skin. Each time I’ve used it now I’ve woken up with soft, hydrated and plumped up skin” Joanne Coughlan, Lipstick N Leopard Print blog on the Lotus Detoxifying Overnight Treatment

Valerie Craven

BUSINESS OF BEAUTY Valerie Craven opened the first Guinot franchise in Ireland. She tells us about its success to date.

or the past 33 years I have been so lucky to have worked with such a professional brand as Guinot. After completing an advanced aesthetics diploma in Bronwyn Conroy Beauty college, I had my first introduction to Guinot in the first salon I worked in. Since then it has been a truly wonderful love affair and my interest has grown into a Th passion.

home use help to reinforce the benefits of each treatment. Our signature facial (Hydradermie youth) treats all skin types and is our most popular treatment for clients to start with. I feel Guinot give us the tools to grow a little older gracefully with its full range of facials and body treatments.

Tidy and explored this option further. Guinot made the transition from home salon to high street franchise so easy. They helped in every aspect, from designing the salon, training, securing finance and helping with my business plan.

THE ADVANCED COMPLEXION REJUVENATING TREATMENT

chieve immediate results with Guinot’s revolutionary treatment, which provides the alternative to aesthetic surgery. Using dynamic ionisation and thermal energy, this patented technology encourages the cellular energy in the skin, which beautifully enhances and spectacularly rejuvenates the complexion. This unique treatment, with a variety of bespoke variations to suit your skin type and concerns, allows you to achieve exceptional, visible and clinically proven results after just one treatment.

About the facial

Guinot has created a revolutionary device that offers innovative treatment methods which deliver spectacular results in rejuvenating the appearance of the skin. The true alternative to aesthetic medicine with two complementary rejuvenating treatments: Hydradermie Youth visibly rejuvenates the skin by stimulating cellular activity; and Hydradermie Lift visibly rejuvenates facial features by increasing muscle tone. Starting at birth, the skin’s cellular activity diminishes over time. Our cells lose energy and multiply at a slower rate. The synthesis of elastic fibres slows down and the first signs of ageing appear. We can boost the skin’s cellular energy with dynamic ionisation that increases biological activity and thermal energy that uses higher temperatures to increase cellular activity to help restore a youthful, radiant and healthy appearance to the skin. Hydradermie Youth is a truly customised treatment with scientifically proven results that offers eight options, based on the client’s beauty objectives and concerns:

Moisturising Soothing Nourishing Purifying Brightening Firming Age-defying Sun preparation/repair Linda from Salon Magazine received the nourishing option in her treatment as her skin was dry and in need of an intensive, nutritive boost to repair the skin and restore radiance. Linda was recommended the following aftercare products to enhance and prolong the treatment benefits:

Lotion Hydra Beaute

A creamy milk cleanser perfect for dry skin as it provides the skin with a true feeling of comfort whilst nourishing and softening the skin and soothing irritated skin. It perfectly removes make-up and rids the skin of impurities! Apply and cleanse away, twice a day, morning and evening.

A high UV protection (SPF 50) brightening cream with unrivalled colour control technology. This lightweight CC cream brightens the complexion, protects the skin from harmful UV rays and instantly evens the tone of the skin thanks to encapsulating unifying pigments.

Lait Hydra Beaute

A comforting toning lotion that completes the make-up removal and protects the skin, advised to be used after Lait Hydra Beaute.

Night Logic

This specifically acts at night to neutralise the effects of stress and relieve tension. It has a ﬁne, non-greasy texture that absorbs rapidly, making it a quick yet key step in your evening beauty regime. When you wake up, the skin appears rested, like after a good night’s sleep. Say goodbye to signs of fatigue! Visibly plumped and supple, the skin is fresh and luminous.

SPA IRELAND

INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION ANNOUNCES NEW INITIATIVES Spa Life International has announced two new initiatives for its UK convention 2018; the return of the CEO summit and the introduction of additional supplier showcase presentations. As the name suggests, the CEO summit is an exclusive discussion forum, restricted to senior spa industry personnel in order to debate the key issues affecting the growth and development of the spa sector. Previous CEO summits have proven to be stimulating and enlightening so the organisers have decided to bring it back for 2018. The CEO summit is an invitation-only session and numbers are strictly limited. The supplier showcase presentations will take place on the second day of the Convention and will provide an opportunity for a wide range of suppliers to take to the stage to deliver a five-minute presentation to the entire audience. In additional to the face-to-face meetings with prospective buyers in the speed-dating forum and the opportunity for a dedicated display stand in the EXPO Arena, the supplier showcase will allow companies to achieve maximise exposure for their

brands and enjoy optimal return on their time at the convention. This exciting new commercial opportunity will be limited to suppliers who have already registered as official sponsors at the convention and will be offered on a first come, first served basis. Co-founder and event director Mike Fitch said: “It’s important that we keep innovating and adapting the event to the changing needs of the market and we believe these initiatives help us achieve this.” The Spa Life UK Convention 2018 takes place at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole on 13 and 14 November. For more visit www.spa-life.co.uk.

DROMOLAND COMPLETES FINAL PHASE OF REFURBISHMENT Dromoland Castle has completed the final phase of a full-scale €20m refurbishment, which has seen a preservation and modern updating of the 16th-century castle hotel in Co Clare. The castle’s guest rooms, Queen Anne wing, dining and lounge areas, and spa have all been transformed, and a new indoor pool has been added. The spa’s selected offerings use Elemis products designed to relax, revitalise and restore the body and spirit, and features treatment rooms, dedicated manicure and pedicure rooms, and an outdoor jacuzzi.

DRUIDS GLEN UP FOR SALE

The five-star Druids Glen hotel and golf resort is up for sale with a guide price of €45m. The North Wicklow resort is owned by three Irish families, the Lappins, the Hurleys and the Flinns, and has 145 bedrooms, two golf courses, a spa and health club. A strong Irish tourism market will reportedly help the sellers fetch a strong price, as will the performance of the economy and strong passenger traffic at Dublin Airport. CEO Edward Stephenson said the business has grown year-on-year and it has become one of Ireland’s key destination resorts. “All aspects of the business have performed very well in recent years and this strong performance is reflected in 2017 revenues rising by 6pc, profits growing by 21pc and business in 2018 showing strong growth.”

BACK TO BASICS You should always remember the core pillars of what your spa actually is, writes interntationsal spa consultant Diahann Buckley.

s a spa consultant, I am often asked to revamp or revitalise a spa that has lost its lustre. Often clients see a new treatment trend or brand change as the solution to finding their market share. While brand

change and treatment evolution have merit, in most cases the solution is right there within their grasp. In a hectic world of spa trends and an explosion of new brands it is easy to run forward and completely forget the core pillars of what your spa actually is. The first step in is defining who/what you are as a spa. This may sound simple, however most spas today allow the brand to lead their identity. A brand is an essential part of your spa’s treatment offering, it is a layer but should not be the core. Define your spa essence, are you a destination spa? An urban retreat? Wellness spa or medical spa? Once you define this you can begin to build the story that you will translate through every aspect of the customer journey. This bespoke journey the guest will remember and will set you apart. Now you have defined your spa, build the story through the senses. The interior design and textural response will create the visual aspect and organically exude your story. Remembering lighting and all physical decoration will have a lasting impact. Tap into the sensory experience of touch, this includes all soft furnishing, wall finishes, and even your linens

www.salonmagazine.ie

When choosing your music be true the destination you are and momentum of your spa. This takes a little work, but it is certainly worth the effort. Aroma and essence are equally important. Put some thought into the aromatic atmosphere and be mindful of the season. Spring and summer will be zesty while autumn and winter warming and comforting. Remember you are looking for consistency so even the candles or oils used should have the desired outcome in adding to the mood you wish to create for the guest. The final layer is ‘taste’ – create a menu of refreshments with purpose. The welcome beverage through to post-treatment bites should have a defined outcome. Involve and train your team to engage and emulate the essence of your spa and watch the magic begin. Diahann Buckley is an international spa consultant, leading spa educator and author of training and professional development programmes. She has 20 years’ experience in spa development.

Advertorial

AESTHETICS REBORN Totalcare’s Dympna Fitzgerald explains about the company’s M3 machine.

What’s the M3’s unique selling point? At Totalcare, we specialise in combining the latest aesthetic treatments with a wellness-based approach. This machine is the only one we can find that has eight alternatives to cosmetic surgery and it doesn't have any invasiveness or downtime. From a salon point of view, the company is also willing to finance the machine for you, which means that you don't have to go to the bank at all. What can the M3 machine do? This machine has up to eight different modes that can do nine treatments. Firstly, you can choose from Cavitation Peeling, Diamond-Tip Microdermabrasion or Oxybrasion for cleaning/prepping the skin. Then for the actual treatment you can choose from Mesotherapy, Radiofrequency, Ultrasounds or Ultrasonic Liposuction. The latter can then be combined with a Dermomassager to give you the ultimate cellulite-busting treatment. Can you elaborate on this? Mesotherapy is a way of bringing ampules into the skin without the need for needles. We have different ampules to treat different conditions from anti-ageing to cellulite to pigmentation to Lifting and so much more!

Radiofrequency is a pleasant heat treatment that builds up the collagen and elastin fibres in the skin. This gives the skin a plumper and glowing complexion, in a completely natural way. Oxybrasion is a concentrated airbrush of high quality oxygen. This can be combined with either a saline solution or our Action De Gala Fortified Vitamin Complex, which helps to nourish, moisturise and re-balance the skin. Ultrasounds uses positive polarity to draw the Action De Gala products deeper into the skin to give an effective anti-ageing treatment. Ultrasound Liposuction uses an alternating ultrasound current to break up stubborn lipidic cells; this is then combined with infra-red heat to melt the fat cells. Infra-red can be used by itself as a topical analgesic treatment. People who suffer from muscle cramping/sore backs. necks find a treatment as effective as being out in the sun, something we lack in Ireland! Dermomassager is a vacuum used after the Ultrasound Liposuction to bring the melted fat to the lymph nodes which

Dympna Fitzgerald, director of Totalcare

allows it to be excreted/respired in the body's natural way. For the Cavitation Peeling, there’s an ultrasound spatula that acts like a power-hose to the skin. It clears blocked pores, provides a deep clean and leaves the skin feeling fresh and smooth to the touch. Diamond-Tip Microdermabrasion – using a variety of different settings, we can gently remove the dead layer of cells from your epidermis. The diamond-tip heads are suitable for all skin types and there are different intensities for face and body. What size is the machine? This machine comes in two models, the Compact and Premium Tower. The Compact is small enough to fit on a standard wooden salon trolley, whilst the Tower is a stand alone piece of equipment that takes up surprisingly little room. That's why we like to say that this machine really is ‘aesthetics reborn’. How much is training? When you quote Salon Magazine, training for all M3 devices is free!

VENUS FREEZE PLUS LAUNCHES IN IRELAND The brand new Venus Freeze Plus works by using Venus Concept’s patented (MP)2 technology – a combination of multi-polar radio frequency and pulsed electro magnetic fields (PEMF) – to safely heat deeper layers of the skin, which boosts collagen production, thereby reversing visible signs of ageing. Radio frequency and PEMF is proven safe and effective for all skin types. Venus Freeze Plus is easy to use and is highly delegable, thanks to two new advanced safety features. The first, real-time thermal feedback, allows for immediate and continuous monitoring of skin temperature throughout the treatment. The second, automatic temperature control (ATC), allows the operator to select and maintain a target therapeutic temperature suitable for the specific patient and treatment area. These features enhance patient safety, improved ease of use for the operator, and can lead to more consistent, predictable outcomes.

www.salonmagazine.ie

“We are thrilled to launch Venus Freeze Plus in Ireland,” said Sarah Hickey, sales director at Venus Concept UK and Ireland. “Its state-of-the-art safety features make it so easy to use and very delegable to any certified practitioner. Patients of all skin types will benefit from a painless treatment with no down time. Combined with Venus Concept’s unique interest-free payment plan, our customers realise a higher return on investment.” For more information please visit www.venusconcept.com.

EYE FEEL PRETTY The new paraben-free Ultra Deep Black Mascara guarantees a stunning effect. It contains intense black pigments that wrap around the eyelashes for a smooth, deep black. Achieve a highly uniform and intensive application thanks to the wand’s closely spaced bristles. They perfectly separate and optically extend the eyelashes. Additional small bristles at the top of the wand enable precise styling and add volume. These can be used to lift individual eyelashes and to skim the finest lashes at the corner of the eye or at the outer edge. The mascara is suitable for every eyelash type, for sensitive eyes, sensitive skin and contact lens wearers.

HENNA HEAVEN BrowTastic Henna Brows offer the perfect alternative to eyebrow tinting, without the use of ammonia or lead, to develop to the eyebrow colour. Normal tinting only colours the hair, but henna colours both the hair and the skin to give you the look of a highly defined brow, but with the added effect you would get from semi-permanent tattooing. The results last on average two to three weeks on the skin and up to six weeks on the actual hair. Henna gives you the opportunity to create expressive eyebrows and camouflage gaps in over-tweezed or sparse brows.
