an spray tanning cause lung cancer and birth defects? Some scientists in America think that there “seems to be the potential.” And the possible concern has spiralled into the salon industry’s biggest safety debate since the Daily Mail printed an article in March ‘11 pondering whether keratin blow-dries were poisoning clients. The alarm was raised on spray tanning ingredient dihydroxyacetone – or DHA as it’s more commonly known – when American television broadcaster ABC News ran a special bulletin in June. The report said that while the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the chemical back in the ‘70s, it was only tested for external use and that it could pose a danger if inhaled. The news broadcaster enlisted six medical experts to review 10 studies on the effect of DHA on cells. In the televised report they claimed that if the chemical enters the respiratory system and is absorbed into the bloodstream on a regular basis, there’s a potential threat of lung cancer, aggravated asthma, COPD and DNA damage - which could lead to birth defects. The Cosmetic, Toiletry and Perfumery Association (CTPA), however, was quick to hit back at the claims. It says that the European Commission’s independent expert scientific committee, the SCCS, has reviewed the use of DHA in spray cabins and confirmed it “will not pose a risk to the health of the consumer.” Product houses including St. Tropez and Xen-Tan have also stressed that the manufacture and import of all cosmetics in Europe are covered by strict safety laws and
undergo a stringent assessment process before they can be brought to market. These tests cover all of the separate ingredients and the final product as well as how and where it will be used. Other industry experts claim that the studies date back to 1999 and offer no new facts. Furthermore, they point out that the tests were carried out on mouse cells, bacteria and salmonella – meaning that there’s no evidence linking DHA to any health problems in humans whatsoever. The truth is that the national press loves a safety scandal. Scary stories – with concrete facts or not – sell newspapers. And once a seed has been planted in the minds of many consumers, no matter what the outcome is, the damage for salons and the sector as a whole has already been done. As ever, education remains key. Moreover, ensuring that every precaution is taken by providing protection wear such as nose filters and eye masks as well as a well-ventilated treatment area will help retain the confidence of clients and staff. It seems that a year can’t go by without the press printing yet another hair and beauty horror story. But the important thing is that salon owners are well versed in all industry developments so they can be confident about what’s on their menu. GEMMA WARD, EDITOR

The changing face of beauty: new report reveals booming skincare sector
T
he UK facial skincare market is poised to break the £1 billion barrier next year according to a new report published last month by Mintel and L’Oreal. The research reveals that advancements in the sector are paving the way for increased spending that will lead the industry to surpass a worth of around £1.2 billion by 2015. The ‘Here Comes the Science’ report reveals the increased importance British consumers are placing on their skincare regimes. The category generated £956 million in 2011 and it is set to grow by nearly £50 million by 2013. Vivienne Rudd, head of beauty and personal care insight at Mintel, says: “Key factors in its growth are the continued scientific and marketing innovation in the industry, the discovery of new active ingredients and molecules that go into today’s new generation skincare products
together with a more knowledgeable and informed consumer who now uses a wider range of skincare products and tools tailored to their skin, lifestyle and age.” Key trends that will fuel customer spend over the coming months include bespoke skincare services such as serum blending, new technological developments including ‘Skinchips’ that offer consumers a personalised skincare analysis, and the testing of efficacy against invasive beauty treatments. The report also revealed what drives consumers’ purchasing decisions. Four in ten women (41 per cent) use products that protect their skin from environmental factors while one in ten (nine per cent) actively seek out formulas containing the latest scientific breakthroughs. Clean skin is the biggest motivator for buying skincare products, with 62 per cent citing it as the main reason for buying. Looking after dry skin comes in at a close second
with 56 per cent choosing products for this purpose followed by protection (41 per cent), to look youthful (37 per cent), to fight wrinkles (36 per cent), to target dark circles and age spots (18 per cent) and to tighten slackening skin (13 per cent). Figures also reveal that most women begin thinking about age maintenance as soon as they hit 25-years-old. Today eight per cent of women under that age use anti-ageing products, which jumps to 26 per cent in the 25-34-year-old bracket. The biggest sellers in the skincare category are moisturisers, which account for £249 million, followed by cleansers (£179 million), medicated for products (£77 million), lip salves (£41 million), eye care (£28 million), masks (£10 million) and toners (£9 million). Mintel conducted independent market research for the report with a survey of 2,011 UK female internet users aged 16plus in 2011 and 750 more in 2012.

IN THE PINK
Global tennis star Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova took time out of her busy Wimbledon schedule last month to visit the Clay Salon and Spa in Oxshott, Surrey, for a new haircut and colour. The Russian sportswoman was tended to by the salon’s colour technician Kim Shoesmith and owner James Davis who worked together using Milk Shake’s ammonia-free Conditioning Colour and a layering technique to create the bold bright pink style. The results were a more youthful fashion-forward take on her usual blonde locks. “Anastasia loved her new look and it really suited her,” says Davis, who regularly looks after famous names in the salon. “She is a really fun girl and this colour is bang on trend right now with so many celebrities sporting bright colours. It was an honour to do her hair and obviously being so geographically near to Wimbledon we’re all fans of the tournament in the salon.” Have you styled a star recently? E: gemmaw@cimltd.co.uk

X Factor bad boy Frankie Cocozza was trending on Twitter last month after stepping out in a new shorter hairstyle courtesy of Jamie Stevens. The hairdresser, who recently opened his own salon in Kensington, transformed the singer’s signature shaggy locks into smart style with short sides and a long top. He says: “Everybody wanted me to cut Frankie’s hair when he was on the X Factor but it was a real part of him and when you’re going on stage in front of millions of people the last thing you need is your confidence stripped away. But I always thought he would suit a more groomed style.”

POST HOLIDAY HAIR CARE
After sun Recharge your clients’ sun-scorched holiday hair with the latest in-salon services, treatments and home care
J
ust like the cold winter months, hot summer weather – if clients have been lucky enough to experience any – can play havoc on their hair. Just a fortnight abroad on a sun-soaked holiday dipping their locks in and out of chlorinated pools and salty seawater can cause moisture loss, breakage, colour fade and split ends. Richard Ward, owner of his eponymous salon in Chelsea, says this affects the hair’s porosity – leading it to look unhealthy. “It causes damage to the cuticle,” he says. “The cuticle is made up of overlapping scales and that reflect light when shiny and smooth. When the scales are missing or damaged, the hair won’t shine.” Likewise, damage to the internal structure of the hair – the cortex, where chemical processes take place – makes repairing it more difficult. And these conditions are exasperated by the hair’s common enemies: electrical equipment, sun, salt, chlorine and over-processing alongside air conditioning, which makes
32 | www.thesalonmagazine.co.uk
the hair more static and dry. Salons around the country then should be advising clients how to regain the vigour of their pre-holiday manes using special cutting techniques, professional colour, in-salon treatments and prescribed after care.
Seasonal change Advising clients to go for a re-style after a summer holiday is a great way to get rid of damaged ends. Ward recommends suggesting short, textured styles that are full of movement such as bobs, crops and cuts that are layered, feminine and strong. He says: “As September sweeps in, long beach-inspired summer hair sweeps out. This annual trend is like a hair migration; something about those straggly, postholiday tresses inspires women all over the country to go for a real departure hair-wise to greet the new season and complement their new wardrobes.” But for clients that want to hold on to as much of their hair as possible, in-salon colour services can be used to breathe
new life into their manes. Ben Cooke and Jonathan Long at London’s Lockonego recommend offering a vegetable or semipermanent colour or glossing service once a month to help keep the hair in premium condition. “Colour fade is one of the biggest problems with porous hair and the ends are the parts that fade first as they’re coloured the most,” they say. “So recommending regular visits to the salon for a trim is essential while semi permanents are great solutions to combat colour fade and liven up the ends to refresh your client’s look.” Ward adds that suggesting a darker shade for winter can be a great way to help the hair look healthier. “Most women want to reflect the key fashion trends by opting for richer colours,” he says. “Darker hair reflects light better, so going for a deeper take on a client’s current tone and a chunky cut to get rid of their aged summer beach hair will make it feel healthier. Advise clients to for a clear colour gloss to add shine and lustre or a vegetable colour glaze.”

We would be delighted to hear from you.
POST HOLIDAY HAIR CARE Nourishing treatments For every cut and colour appointment, hairdressers should also be advising clients to invest in a nourishing treatment at the backwash. This will help seal the cuticle and re-create that healthy looking shine. Steve Rowbottom, co-director at Westrow, says: “Intensive masques are great post-holiday revitalisers and can add some much needed hydration once clients are back from their break. Kerastase Masque UV Defense Active is the perfect after sun treatment to repair coloured hair exposed to UV rays.” Danny Puopolo, creative director at Mowgli Aveda Lifestyle Salon in Primrose Hill, recommends a course of three treatments over his clients’ next appointments. “This will really boost moisture and help repair damaged hair,” he says. “I always recommend in-salon treatments after any colour service anyway as the results are fantastic but this is even more important after a holiday.” Keratin treatments are also a popular choice for clients that want to boost the general condition of their hair. Nathan
Walker, international technical director at Trevor Sorbie and KeraStraight’s UK ambassador, believes the service is the best way to regain glossy and healthy locks. He says: “Following the ravages of a summer holiday the hair can be left weakened, damaged and frizzy. An ideal solution to all of this is a keratin treatment such as KeraStraight. The keratin compound both penetrates the hair and coats the hair’s cuticle so it is left strengthened, smoother and more manageable”
Home alone While offering clients the best possible service in your care is essential, ensuring they continue the good work at home will always yield the best results. Furthermore, offering recommendations specific to your clients’ needs and hair type will instil trust in your stylist’s service as a professional while boosting your business’s bottom line. Puopolo says: “I always talk about products with my clients as it’s a part of my service. It’s very important to create a
routine of doing this with your clients, as this way they don’t feel as if they are being ‘sold’ to. Always talk about the benefits of a product and why they need to use it. And always be honest, as clients can see through a dishonest salesperson.” For stylists that are apprehensive about offering recommendations, he adds: “If a client isn’t willing to give the products I have recommended a chance, I find it most effective to ask why the are willing to invest so much money in getting their hair coloured and cut, but then not prolong their results with the right products. It is so silly to spend so much money and then wash the results down the drain with a cheaper product that is wrong for their hair.” So even if the British weather is a complete washout, after summer hair care is still essential for clients that have ventured abroad. Moreover, encouraging them to re-invent their style and colour can be a great way to refresh their look and welcome the new season. So encourage your stylists to talk to their clients – their hair will thank you for it.

7. BLACK CHERRY
While classic red lips are more often associated with autumn make-up, for AW12 many designers gave the look a gothic spin opting for black cherry shades and matt finishes. Gucci and YSL led the way with plum pouts while the likes of Caroline Charles, Rochas and Ubuntu went for a softer stained berry-like take on the trend.

L’OREAL COLOUR TROPHY
May the best team win
How to recruit and cultivate outstanding stylists, therapists and managers
A
salon’s team is its best asset. While clients may initially be seduced by a hi-tech website and ultra modern salon interior, when it comes to professional hair and beauty services, substance will always triumph over style. Operating with the best possible team then is the most essential ingredient for a salon’s success. And while choosing individual staff based on their abilities is often key, the right mix of personalities, enthusiasm and a desire to succeed will ultimately create the best team of stylists, therapists, managers and front of
48 | www.thesalonmagazine.co.uk
house staff. “A winning team should feed off each other’s energy,” says Ian Davies, owner of Cardiff-based salon group Ocean Hairdressing. “Each member should support the other and recognise everyone’s strengths. They should share a common goal – they should be motivated to better themselves and their salon, and their shard work ethic should bind them together. Moreover, each member should be driven, creative, show initiative and make positive contributions to the success of the salon.” Charles Dodds, owner of Cutting
Room Creative in Leeds, agrees with this viewpoint adding: “Ability ranks highly but dedication and hard work are equally important. My ideal staff member is the type of person who puts their name forward for everything, always sees room for improvement, never complains, is self motivated and has a hunger and passion for their profession.”
The right staff Deciding what personality traits and attitudes are most important for your team is key to selecting the correct people. Because ultimately, running your salon
BUSINESS with staff that share similar goals will create the best possible ‘winning’ attitude and atmosphere. And that drive to succeed will become infectious. For Steve Rowbottom, co-director of the Yorkshire-based Westrow salon group, this recruitment strategy is the only way to go. “What has been key for our business from the start is surrounding ourselves with the right people who share our passion and beliefs and who have an enthusiasm for the craft of hairdressing,” he explains. “To flourish as a business, it’s imperative that everyone combines their efforts to accomplish the same end goal. For this to happen, everyone has to believe in the business and its core values. Everyone is an integral part of the process but their own unique roles must be recognised and rewarded for them to feel intrinsically valued.” Moreover, the last thing any salon owner needs is any trouble in the ranks. So aiming to steer clear of clashing personalities while still appealing to a broad spectrum of clients is equally as imperative. As Leo Bancroft, owner of his eponymous salon in Weybridge, Surrey, points out: “Creating the right balance within the salon means that not only are all client personalities catered for but that there are no in-team collisions. Team members must be compatible with each other to avoid any unnecessary conflicts and misunderstandings.”
building up a reputation in the industry as a salon front-runner will also ensure you get to handpick the best in the business. And better still – they’ll often come to you. “We receive probably in excess of 20 CVs a week at Cutting Room Creative so as soon as a position becomes available we can reach for a list of people who already want to fill that space,” says Dodd. “We have a rule to reply to every single application we receive so that they know we will keep them on file – and we really do. Sometimes a year down the line we may call up a previous applicant to arrange an interview when a vacancy arises.” Bancroft agrees that raising your salon’s reputation in the industry as part of an ongoing business plan is the best way to tempt the best possible staff. He says: “To attract good people, people with ambition, you need to be proactive. An advert
is not enough. Entering business and creative awards, being involved with The Fellowship as well as letting the industry and local press know what you are up to as a team and salon is the best way to attract proactive people to your business.”
Interview success A key part of the team selection process, interviews and trade testing offer the best opportunity to get know any potential employees’ personalities and professional capabilities before making any firm employment decisions. There are various ways of conducting both parts of the process but, ultimately, finding out as much as possible about the candidate and ensuring they follow your goals should be your main aim. “Our recruitment policy ensures we maintain our high standards of service our clients have come know and love,” says Rowbottom. “We look for
The search is on Rather than placing an advert in the salon window and hoping your ideal team member will walk past, technology today means it’s easy to cast the recruitment net wide. Placing an advert with online recruitment agencies and trade magazines is a great place to start, as is using social media and other broader scale internet sites such as Gumtree. However, to really cultivate a winning team, taking on staff that will learn your salon’s culture and philosophies from scratch can often be the best course of action. “We always invest in our individual team members and grow our team organically,” says Davies. “We encourage internal career progression and nurture each team member to achieve success.” Rowbottom agrees, adding: “The greatest staff are those who are bred from youngsters and believe entirely in your salon ethos and the brand.” But if you’re looking for fully trained staff,

professionalism, competitiveness and the desire to achieve across the board. We also look for good communication skills and creative thinking. Potential employees have to undergo a rigid interview process in line with the NVQ procedure. We ensure they are the best people for the job, and possess commitment and a firm understanding of the Westrow brand and beliefs.” Meanwhile, many salon owners profess to having a sixth sense when it comes to choosing the right people that will slot into the team. “I am very good at getting a feel for the person and can tell within a few minutes whether they are right for Cutting Room Creative,” says Dodds. “I make a shortlist and then these applicants will come back for a more in depth interview. I like to be around for these interviews also but I try not to stay in the office and over-face the applicant. We then usually narrow it down to one or two people who we invite back for a trade test, which is a full column of models in the salon. We make our final decision based on the work produced and their potential.” And while ability is a key part of choosing the right person, many salon owners will overlook imperfect work if a desirable personality shines through. As Bancroft says: “Technical skills can
50 | www.thesalonmagazine.co.uk
be taught but personality is something you are born with so it is important that the person fits in with the rest of the team. If I am happy with their ability, we have an open informal interview where other members of the existing team get involved. This way we can see how they might work together.”
Cultivating winners Keeping your team happy will minimise staff turnover and help retain equilibrium in the salon. And employing new team members with this goal at the forefront right from the start will ensure a healthy employer-employee relationship. “Communication is key,” says Rowbottom. “So when you are recruiting, make sure you are open and honest about what will be expected from your new employees. Recognise that the same things don’t always motivate people and that each individual has an intrinsic role to play in the success of the salon.” Of course the best way to achieve this is by setting out clear expectations from both sides at the beginning of employment. “Prospective new staff members need to be shown the opportunities they can be offered in terms of training and a clear wage structure,” adds Dodds. “We detail very precisely – usually on the day we
make a job offer – exactly what their wage will be and how it will be made up. New staff coming into the industry relish being shown in detail about our training program and a clear route to how they can achieve their goals too.” And once you have your A-Team in place, encouraging each member to develop their skills and grow as a salon professional will ensure that they continue to feel satisfied in their work. For many top salon owners, this is the secret to retaining a strong alliance of staff. According to Dodds, investing in an ongoing education strategy will reap many long-term rewards. “Employing staff with potential and creativity is obviously the first step but thereafter frequent evaluation, appraisals, giving feedback and then subsequent training are key to ensuring your team reaches its full potential. This will in turn help raise the bar in your salon, but will also help you retain your staff when they see how much time and effort you are willing to invest in their future.” Bancroft concludes: “Your team needs to know they belong. They need to feel secure and part of the salon’s success. By being open with them and involving them in the salon running they will take more ownership and invest more into their clients and the business.”

BUSINESS TIPS
Rules of engagement Steve Rowbottom, co-director of Westrow, reveals how engaging your clients with a carefully controlled social media strategy can reap many rewards
“S
ocial media offers relationship-building opportunities that are virtually limitless. And through the use of these ever-expanding platforms, salon owners can gain access to a wealth of invaluable information, prospects and alliances both nationally and internationally. Moreover, signing up to the sites that sit alongside your branding can be an extremely powerful way to promote your salon and services by getting the message delivered to clients across all available news feeds.
I’m with the brand “At Westrow we have a dedicated social media department. Initially the team was set up to ensure that our businesses could
52 | www.thesalonmagazine.co.uk
be seen on platforms such as Google and that each salon was communicating a consistent brand message. The next step was to decide which platforms would best serve the business and these were then branded to offer our clients consistency. Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Google+ and Blog were our preferred platforms and each one has its own unique role to play in promoting the business. “The social media team uses Twitter to drive people around Westrow’s offers and promotions. Meanwhile, the platform is also used to lead followers onto our blog or our own Westrow TV channel on YouTube. We also direct people to the product offers on our e-commerce site Besthairbrands. com and have recently started to integrate Pinterest and Instagram into our strategy.
The major benefit to our business is that the larger our targeted market, the more effective our audience reach is at getting our message across.
Social eyes “Our social media strategy ensures that we can fully engage our audience with our activity. We use social media to foster a family attitude that’s supportive and inclusive, and by keeping people informed we fully involve the clients who follow us through our social media platforms. Our social media team is sent backstage images and information from staff attending key industry events so they can take control of the delivery of information throughout the day, without detriment to our staff.

EDUCATION
Be the best
Tina Rook, head of Saks Education, reveals the story behind one of the company’s brightest emerging hair stars
B
ethany Stones chose to train as a hairdresser with Saks Education when she left school at 16; just two years later and she is already set for great things. After achieving NVQ Level Two in Hairdressing she is now working towards Level Three while learning in the ultimate salon environment: Saks York. “I chose to train through Saks Education because of their fantastic reputation,” she says. “They’re recognised as the best at what they do and because I want to be the best at what I do, it was the obvious choice for me.” Furthermore, the budding hairdresser has also recently been selected for the Saks A Team, a group of emerging
stylists that works on photo shoots and backstage at fashion events. “I love how creative hairdressing can be and the fact that no two days are the same,” she adds. “I’m already getting the chance to work on photo shoots and explore more advanced cutting and colouring techniques and know that being part of Saks Education will help me be the best possible hairdresser.” Stones is now working as a junior stylist and is gaining further knowledge, advanced techniques and experience by working with clients under the watchful eyes of senior members of her team. “It’s great working so closely with a team in a salon environment because I feel I learn so much more than if I was in a college
classroom,” she says. Saks Education trainers regularly visit the salon to give one-to-one training and assessment. Its educators also work closely with the salon’s owner to ensure everyone is working from the same page and striving towards the same end result – an exceptionally trained hairdresser who instantly fits into the industry. Stones concludes: “If you’re thinking about a career in hairdressing, learning in a salon via an NVQ is the best way to do it. I’ve had salon experience pretty much from day one and learn loads of new things on a daily basis.” For more information contact Saks Education Tel. 01325 341 605 E: education@saks.co.uk Saks.co.uk

Business as usual? Stuart Holmes discusses the impending effects of this month’s Olympics
“W
hat effect will the Olympic Games have on your business this summer? It is an unknown quantity and as a once in a lifetime event for many of us, it is very difficult to predict what is going to happen in terms of demand levels during the two-week period. “From salons in Central London to those elsewhere in the UK, this global sporting event could have one of three effects for businesses: no change, a surge in demand, or a fall in appointments and takings. “At the time of going to print, our diary was looking only marginally quieter than what I would normally expect for this time of year and I put this down to the Olympics. Lots of our clients have tickets to go to events and will be making a special trip to London especially for the games. “On top of that people are uncertain about the actual grip the Olympics is going to have on the nation when it starts, so as a result are leaving their plans relatively fluid over the two weeks and are delaying booking their hair and beauty appointments “Depending on where you are in the UK will depend on what effect this massive sporting event will have. “There is no doubt that London salons will feel the abnormal demand levels more than those outside of the capital. “Of course, London is going to be jam-packed with visitors but that may not necessarily equate to more client bookings for hair and beauty services. The Olympics may be a glamorous occasion but are the likes of the Fijian judo team really going to
58 | www.thesalonmagazine.co.uk
be booking in for blow-dries ahead of the Opening Ceremony? And how many spectators are really going to want to be coiffed before heading down to the Olympic Park? “My view is that unlike going to other events, sporting occasions such as the Olympics do not necessarily constitute a special trip to the salon.
“On top of that, your regular clients – the normal Londoners – may be giving the city a wide berth and limiting their journeys and appointments during the two week Olympic “I did some detailed research while writing this piece and spoke to a number of other salon owners. Like for us at The Stuart Holmes Hair and Beauty Spa,
there is no huge change in appointment numbers year-on-year. If anything, people are saying they’re marginally quieter. However, at the time of going to print, we are still two weeks out and as we all know, a lot can happen in a salon diary in a fortnight! “The thing is no one really knows what effect this global event is going to have on salons. But I get the feeling it wont have too much of an effect at all. People may delay their appointments by a few weeks here or there but overall they will still be walking through the doors at some stage. “What we have to do as business owners is make sure that we are thinking through the potential consequences of the Olympics and minimising them as much as possible. “We use a great deal of e-marketing within our salon to communicate with clients that we are open for business as usual. Consider adopting this tool as a way of highlighting to your database any last minute availability during the Olympics. Also, where you know of travel issues nearby to your premises, pass on your tips to clients to ensure they can still reach you with minimum hassle. We are really looking forward to the Olympics at The Stuart Holmes Hair and Beauty Spa and we hope you enjoy it as much as I’m sure we will. Ditch the apathy and get excited, as it will only happen once in your lifetime!” Stuart Holmes has over 23 years’ experience in hairdressing and runs the multi-award winning Stuart Holmes Hair and Beauty Spa in Cheltenham with his wife Sara.
