SPASPA IRERLAND IRELAND 2018

W

elcome to Salon Magazine’s Spa Ireland 2018 special report. Research carried out last summer found that the salon and spa industry in Ireland contributes €540m annually to the Irish economy. Phorest Salon Software undertook research to highlight the true value of the industry and bring to the forefront how much Irish salons and spas contribute to the economy.

“The salon and spa industry is one that often gets overlooked, its activities and its contributions to the economy do not gain as much media attention or coverage as its Industry counterparts,” said CEO of Phorest Salon Software Ronan Perceval.

It’s fitting therefore that the Spa Life International Convention (Ireland), supported by Fáilte Ireland and Meet in Ireland, is returning here and will be hosted at the recently refurbished Johnstown Estate Hotel & Spa on 18 and 19 June. Spa Life

International is Europe's largest spa-dedicated event, exclusively for senior spa professionals.

The event will provide spa professionals with an unparalleled combination of exposure to new product innovations; shared industry insights; extensive networking opportunities; and quality management education. The line-up of speakers includes Dr Franz Linser, Sharron Lowe, Peigin Crowley, Fred Hoffman, Michelle Hammond and Michael Lennon, and you can read all about why you should attend the event on pages 28 and 29.

Our special Spa Ireland supplement and Spa Life report also includes helpful suggestions and advice from industry professionals, along with product news, innovations and much more.

BE RADIANT Ultra-light all day hydration, Retinol Anti-Ageing Facial Oil multiplies the effectiveness of any daily skincare regimen and improves the way the skin appears – day and night. Apply two to three drops before any Retinol treatments, or blend with moisturiser or foundation for a visible radiance.

SERUM SKIN Paese Cosmetics’ Serum 1,5% Triple Hyaluronic Acid contains three types of hyaluronic acids, which action complement each other: Super Low Molecular Weight acid (SLMW) increases the level of moisture within the skin, Low Molecular Weight acid (LMW) moisturises the skin and increases the penetration of active substances, and High Molecular Weight acid (HMW) forms a layer on the skin surface which prevents water evaporation. Therefore the skin is well-hydrated from both inside and outside.

BAMBOO BEAUTIFUL For firm, wrinkle-free skin Bamboo Firming Fluid is the answer. The strengthening agents of bamboo and coconut deeply hydrate, with the help of a Natural Retinol Alternative from chicory root and Swiss Green Apple Stem Cells.

SPA CONSULTING, LEAVE IT TO THE PROFESSIONALS SPA IRELAND 2018

Have you ever wondered when and how to deploy a spa consultant for your proposed spa? Industry professional Neil Howard from Howard Spa Consulting gives his tips.

D uring my time as a spa consultant I

have met a large number of owners and hotel operators who have called me to meetings to discuss their proposed new spa. It's been an interesting 24 years. I thought I would use the experience gained during this time to share with you how best to deploy a spa consultant as a part of a team of project specialists.

Spa consultants of course vary according to precisely the scope of services they offer, so this is the starting point. Some specialise in design services, others focus on setting up an operation, some offer both.

Essentially, there will be a need for a spa specialist to understand the market and purpose; create a great concept; develop a layout that has ‘feeling’ and is better than a collection of rectangles; and ensure the operation is caring, professional and five-star. If a spa consultant can be found that can address all these aspects, the end result will benefit from continuity and an integrated approach.

One trend I have seen develop recently is for owners and operators to be sold a 'one-stop solution' provided by equipment suppliers, rather than by independent spa consultants. An equipment supplier seeing an opportunity to expand their service beyond selling their equipment is unlikely to understand the whole picture as well as an ex-operator, designer, or preferably someone that has a

www.salonmagazine.ie

complete vision and skill set of how a spa feels, looks and works in operation. I have seen spa layouts devised by suppliers in conjunction with designers and frankly they are disappointing, sterile and lack operational knowledge and emotion.

“Develop a layout that has ‘feeling’ and is better than a collection of rectangles; and ensure the operation is caring, professional and five-star”

The message here is to engage the spa consultant before the planning process.

Another required discipline is the interior designer, who too often is engaged prior to a spa consultant. This can result in a spa layout being developed by an interior designer that looks great on CAD; beautifully symmetrical; with attractive interior renditions; plus a ’story’, consisting of predictable components and lacking operational intelligence.

This is a worrying industry trend taking advantage of those that are new to developing a spa. While this trend is acceptable for a small residential spa, it's definitely not ideal for a larger spa project that has the potential to be one of the best spas of its type.

Again, if the spa consultant is brought in at conception they can steer the process. I often describe my initial work as creating the right animal and its skeleton: once ready, the designer and lighting consultant should dress it, but don't buy the dress and then look around for something to fit into it.

Concept, components and layout should be driven by the spa consultant, not an equipment supplier, architect or interior designer, who all have crucial parts to play. The order in which the specialists are brought onto a project is as important as who they are.

Many new spas require to go through a local planning process. This automatically requires an architect to be engaged at the critical formative stage.

Through the process of submitting planning approval the architect has formed the foundation for the future spa that will possess characteristics that are not feasible to undo, if a spa consultant is brought in after the planning process.

As the design and build process develops, the spa consultant acts as the ‘guardian’ of their concept, ensuring that the spa's purpose, feeling, operational practicality and profitability are all kept on track. The spa consultant should then ensure that the visit is realised in operation, not handed over to a spa manager who misinterprets all that has gone before their appointment.

EXPERT ADVICE FROM

SUNAURA

Lindsay O’Byrne, Irish trainer for Mila d’Opiz

Lindsay O’Byrne is a CIDESCO, ITEC and CIBTAC qualified beauty therapist. Having worked initially as a salon therapist, she joined Sunaura Distribution Ltd just over 20 years ago and is the salon trainer for Mila d’Opiz skincare for all of Ireland.

SPA IRELAND 2018

Lindsay’s skincare advice for salons: 1.These days, clients can easily buy their skincare online so a salon skincare brand needs to provide its savvy clients with something different – ie visible results immediately after one treatment. Look for a brand with innovative, up-to-date ingredients to get the best results, and try to keep up-to-date with the latest developments in skincare so your clients are reassured of your expertise. Personally, I would recommend Mila d’Opiz of course, because it has won several awards for its innovative cutting-edge products and the feedback we get from our salon customers is that it is highly effective.

2.The brand should also allow the therapist to fully tailor the treatment to the client’s skin. In a salon or spa with several therapists, it is important to ensure all staff fully understand the brand and how it can be tailored within the bounds of the treatment being offered. I love providing smaller, more personalised training sessions as we can suit the training to the salon, thus enabling them to provide individual prescription facials to their clients.

3.Hyaluronic acid is an important component of the natural moisturising factor in the skin barrier, so this is a great ingredient to have in as many products as possible, as it is highly effective for all skin types. Mila d’Opiz has just launched a new Hylauronic-4 line that contains four different molecular weights of hyaluronic acid to penetrate to different levels of the epidermis.

4.Part of a good skincare treatment should be advising clients on the best homecare products to continue the good work. You can greatly increase client loyalty and salon profitability if you have access to effective products. Ideally your brand should provide enough products to treat all types of skin and conditions, even if you don’t keep all of them in stock (although it’s definitely a good idea to keep the most popular ones in stock as sales are much more likely when the product is already available on your shelf). Check out the minimum order quantities and shipping details, and also check out whether samples are included free with orders or how much they will cost you.

5.There are lots of exciting new ingredients on the market, which can really make a difference to the skin. One of the best in recent years is plant stem cell technology, which allow ‘baby’ skin cells to mimic the rejuvenating properties of plants and gives much longer lasting results than other ingredients. Think of how plants grow back after pruning or injury and imagine harnessing that rejuvenation power for the skin!
