JANUARY JONES TALKS HAIR LANGUAGE

Award-winning actor January Jones is the new face of Kérastase Nutritive. Best known for her role as Betty Draper in the hit TV series Mad Men, she considers hair an important part of the characters she plays – and herself

01_Cover 3.indd 10

17/03/2016 12:48

OH YES Uplifted arms, ecstatic smile. Something wonderful is happening. At the moment her hair defies gravity, she is the happiest woman alive.

GAME ON This is a determined, fearless woman. “I am confident and powerful,” she says.

INTERESTING She is looking sideways at something dreamily, while touching her face. Someone looking at her from afar would notice her immediately, gradually unveiling her face.

LUSCIOUS BEARDS, marvellous man buns, pomade-rich quiffs… a distinct advantage of working at Creative HEAD Towers is its base in the heart of Shoreditch – and the myriad male styling on show. Its streets are an illustration of the boom in grooming, and evidence of a desire in modern male clients UK-wide to engineer a distinct look, from tattooed hipster to perma-tanned TOWIE devotee. Turn to page 72 and you’ll hear how this trend is a brilliant opportunity for your business, and we have an incredible insight from women’s hairdresser-turned-barber Darren Hayward from Poole’s Gentlemen & Rogues Club, on how a salon can break into barbering and create a space that guys will want to come back to. So what better time is there to launch our first Most Wanted category for this thrilling sector, the Male Grooming Specialist award in association with American Crew. This is directed at a salon or session hairdresser who can demonstrate their standout work in men’s hair. We know our judges are going to be spoiled for choice – so come on, show us what you’re made of!

HAIR STEALS THE SHOWS!

WOMEN ARE leaving less time between salon treatments than they were a year ago, according to the 2016 Beautiful Britain report from Salon Services. Women left an average of six weeks between treatments, down from seven weeks in 2014, with an increase of 19 per cent in a yearly spend on a basket of treatments – up from £702 in 2014 to £876 for hair cut, colour, tan and manicure. This is good news for salon owners as clients are both coming more often and spending more. Overall, treatment prices have remained stable, but are still significantly less than they were in 2012, the report has claimed. This is probably due to discounting campaigns to attract customers and maintain loyalty, it added. Michael Dewey, managing director of Sally Salon Services, said: “While treatment prices haven’t ever returned to the heights of 2012, when we released our first Beautiful Britain report, professionals are starting to reap the rewards of keeping their prices competitive, with customers visiting more frequently than ever.” “These competitive prices have encouraged women to visit salons and hairdressers for standard treatments like haircuts once every six weeks, compared with every seven the year before. “This increase in frequency has helped to boost revenues for hair and beauty businesses across the UK, with annual spending for men and women up significantly.” Elsewhere in the report, the Kardashian family feature strongly in the list of celebrities that clients are inspired by; Kim is most popular with 22 per cent of people and sisters Kylie, Khloe and Kendall all make it into the top 10.

The edit

IT WAS A cornucopia of looks and finishes across the global fashion weeks for the A/W16 season, with hair beating clothes to the headlines in landmark shows. In New York, ghd started its exciting collaboration with Victoria Beckham, with models sporting long ponies against the sharp tailoring, styled by Guido Palau for Redken. At Jeremy Scott, Eugene Souleiman for Wella Professionals channeled the big-haired brilliance of ’80s supermodels, while Aveda guest artists Kevin Ryan and Frank Rizzieri created an eye-level wave at Jenny Packham that was elegance personified. In London, the city’s reputation for being a little more adventurous shone through, with high quiffs at PPQ by Maria Kovacs for TIGI; windswept buns with a pirate vibe at Temperley London by Antonio Corral Calero for Moroccanoil; Sophia Webster’s punky princesses by Sam Burnett for KMS California; loose ponies held with metal rings were spot on for Paul Smith by Tina Outen for Bumble and bumble; and a new wave crimp from Duffy for L’Oréal Professionnel at Joseph. In Paris, Sam McKnight stole the headlines with his hair colour swap project using Balmain Hair wigs – Creative HEAD was backstage, read our report on page 38!

Most Wanted star publishes book

BRAVO HAIRDRESSING’S Phil Jackson has revealed The Hairy Book of Innovation (RRP £10, amazon.co.uk), in part due to his success as the winner of the 2015 Most Wanted Award for Innovation. The salon co-founder shares insights into how to come up with innovative ideas and includes case studies and interviews with industry heads such as KeraStraight’s Jez Barnett and Kent Brushes’ Ben Cosby. The book also has his Most Wanted Award for Innovation entry replicated in full. Phil explains: “We are amazing at the creative side of the industry, but when we start looking at business, it seems all that energy, creativity and talent simply disappears. Let this be a rallying cry to salon owners everywhere: let’s get a grip on our industry and start steering it ourselves.” See how your life can change and enter the Most Wanted 2016 Awards now!

#CHedit THE KNOW-HOW THE INSIDE TRACK ON THE HOTTEST SALON IDEAS

As Coachella approaches, get some festival style inspiration from celebrity stylist Paul Norton SOME OF THE most influential looks come from festivals and the first of the season – Coachella in California – is perhaps the most fashion-forward. Paul Norton, Joico ambassador and stylist with clients including Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande and Emma Roberts, reveals what he thinks will be big news at the event. “Coachella definitely sets the style stakes for the rest of the season but this year flower crowns will be passé,” he predicts. Hair should look great, but you should be able to do it and then forget about it, he says. “That’s why Instatint from JOICO is perfect, and the 50ml sizes (£4.95 each) make them ideal for bags.” These new temporary colour shimmer sprays come on strong, delivering iridescent colour before washing out up to three days later. “Spray directly onto fishtail braids or a braided crown for a pop of colour, or mix all five shades to create a custom tint for your client.”

BARRIE STEPHEN UNVEILS NEW BRAND

LEICESTER FAVOURITE Barrie Stephen has revealed BStyled, the fifth salon in his group and a ‘younger sister’ to his main brand. The new salon includes all the regular hair services found in every branch of Barrie Stephen Hair, as well as a barber lounge and nail and brow services.

MAGIC SCISSORS RAISES £15K

MORE THAN £15,000 has been raised by the inaugural Magic Scissors campaign, after a final online auction saw the distinctive shears find a new home with Clare Pearson at Ash Hairdressing in Scotland. Thanks to the generosity of more than 50 hairdressers and their clients, the initiative can now provide dedicated hair training to disadvantaged children in Uganda.

WHY DID YOU WANT TO BE A HAIRDRESSER? I’ve always been creative and enjoy everything from art to dancing, and I also love working with people. It’s the perfect platform to express myself creatively while making people feel amazing about themselves. It’s the best job in the world!

RACHEL WHITE

AGE: 25 SALON: AKA PROFESSIONAL HAIRDRESSING, BRISTOL WHAT HAVE BEEN YOUR HIGHLIGHTS SO FAR? Being one of the L’Oréal Young Colourist Award winners last year and joining the Colour Academy. It was even more special as it was the 60th anniversary of the competition. I loved meeting my idols, Trevor Sorbie and Sophia Hilton, which just topped the whole night off for me! This whole year working with the brand has been amazing, working with such talented educators, sharing their knowledge and widening my hairdressing horizons. I feel very lucky.

WHAT WOULD BE YOUR DREAM HAIRDRESSING GIG? To style models for London Fashion Week – it would be amazing to be part of such a creative event that’s such high energy.

WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 10 YEARS? I’m working towards a place on the L’Oréal Professionnel ID Artist programme and in the future I aim to be an educator for the brand. I believe strongly that education is the key to success. I also aspire to be apart of the 20:20 Colour Collective one day.

Inside story NICOLA SMYTH AWARD WINNING HAIR, WARWICK THINK URBAN LOFT, a touch of NYC, a splash of pop colour and some mood lighting, and you’ll have the vibe of Nicola Smyth Award Winning Hair’s second salon, freshly unveiled in Warwick. There’s a warm welcome for all through the doors at the idigbo wood reception desk, a statement timber that runs throughout the salon. The centerpiece backwash room, encased by loft-style window panels, is perfect for a relaxing treatment. Far afield visuals from the built-in plasma screen at the backwash area is a lovely touch, as is the luxurious square quilted Pietranera Bolero Optima seating from LSE. The decor looks fabulously modern, plush and tantalizingly comfy, with Framemaker UK and Buster + Punch providing other key pieces. Oh, and you’ll find an iconic SMEG fridge stacked with champagne for clients to sip while reclining on the chesterfield in the waiting area.

THE BUSINESS EDIT FROM INSIDE

THE SALON

WILL EAGLES CREAM HAIR I read what Marian Keyes had to say and certainly agreed with her on a few issues, such as feeling let down by stylists and bad customer service in the past. But as far as ritual humiliation goes, we are certainly not here to do that! I think hairdressers are the fourth emergency service to women and once you’ve built trust and strong bonds with clients, they are with you for a lifetime! Clients rely on our truth, knowledge, expertise and our ability to make them look and feel sensational. There’s always a struggle to keep clients away from delving into the world of home hair colour but instilling the right education and confidence into clients from day one is extremely effective. It’s the only way clients treat you as a style influence, colour guru, product educator and confidant!

E V A H Y LL EA R S ER S ES R D IR A H O D THE TRUST OF THE PUBLIC? IPSOS MORI reported that hairdressers are one of the most trusted professions in Britain, with 69 per cent of people saying they would trust their hairdresser to tell them the truth. Yet chick-lit author Marian Keyes has launched a scathing attack on hairdressers, calling them “humiliating” in her latest book, Making It Up As I Go Along. “The idea is that they break you, break your spirit entirely, and when they’ve reduced you to a nothing with no sense of self, with no voice of your own, they will rebuild you in their image,” she writes. “You will do exactly what they tell you and use the products that they sell you, and perhaps buy a hairdryer and maybe even a house from them.” Is this an unusual take, or do hairdressers actually have a trust issue with many clients? “Where has she been visiting, exactly?” asks an astounded Gavyn Edwards from Tommy’s Hair Company. “This kind of attitude makes my blood boil. And if she said to one of our stylists ‘it’s this shampoo or your tip’, as she states in her book, they would give her the product because nothing is more important than the condition of your hair!” The client and hairdresser relationship needs to be nurtured, argues Giuseppe Vaccaro, co-founder of MOVA Hair Salons. “Anyone can sense when someone isn’t being genuine in a relationship and, ultimately,

those relationships will see cracks,” he admits. “However, the first step to gain a client’s trust is sincerity. It’s the little details that count – greeting the client with a smile, acknowledging their presence, taking their coat with care and making sure they receive a drink while they wait.” There is acknowledgment however that there aren’t uniform levels of service across the industry and so it’s inappropriate to “tar every hairdresser with the same brush”, says James Taylor from Barrie Stephen Hair, who continues: “I’ve had clients share really personal issues with me. Not only do we advise on hair, but we also advise on relationship and personal matters. Clients also see our opinion as neutral as we have no real emotional connection to their situation and can give them honest help and advice.” Peter McDermott, director at Janet Maitland Hair Excellence, takes a strong stance, describing the hairdresser as “the most influential person in any community”. “When a client visits their hairdresser, something happens to them. They feel safe, they relax,” he continues. “Their hairdresser knows what their skin is like under the makeup; they know their age and they don’t have to keep up any kind of pretence. We also know those clients have probably driven past 10 other salons to get to us and we never forget that!”

LIFE LESSONS

TAKE TO TWITTER AND QUIZ YOUR HAIR HEROES!

ANDREW BARTON, CREATIVE DIRECTOR, URBAN RETREAT AT HARRODS What was the key moment for you in creating your brand?

Siobhan Jones, Headmasters @shivvvey Being the hair expert on 10 Years Younger was a significant factor in creating my own brand, and being named Creative HEAD’s Most Wanted Hair Icon helped massively, too. What’s your favourite aspect of your job?

Marcus King, Hooker & Young @hookerandyoung Early in my career I decided I wanted the choice to work differently each day. It now feels like that is the case – I might be in the salon, at my desk or on a shoot. Much of my time is spent working with the three brands that I collaborate with – Affinage, Urban Retreat and Raccoon. Where do you take your inspiration from?

James Duncan, Hair by JFK @hairbyjfk Inspiration comes from so many avenues. I carry a notebook with me all the time, I’m forever ripping pages from magazines and I’m always taking pictures on my phone. George Hammer, the founder of Urban Retreat, is an inspiration. In his eyes everything is possible and that’s a great energy to be part of. Why is giving time to the adoption charity CoramBAAF important to you?

Phil Jackson, @buildyoursalon I was adopted as a child, and without adoption and my loving family, my life may have been very different. I’m running the London Marathon for the charity, so come along and wave me on! I’m also an ambassador for The Prince’s Trust and for anti-bullying charity Kidscape. Up next: Charles Worthington, MBE!

TRICKLE-DOWN EFFECT

At Mahogany Hairdressing, Russell-John Barker, business/operations director, was looking at ways to reduce his salon’s footprint, and a plumber suggested that they fit different tap heads on the backwashes. Each tap head was unscrewed and the filter inside was replaced with a more restrictive filter. “It was so simple and, at £5 each, cheap to do,” says Russell-John. And not only can Mahogany feel a little more angelic about its green credentials, it had also seen its metered water bill reduced by 25 per cent and, in turn, lower electricity bills as they’ve had to heat less water. Result!

We are the creators of our own destiny. Years ago, when my salon business was failing, I realised no-one was coming to my rescue… I had got myself into a mess and only I could get myself out. We should take responsibility for our own actions. Prepare yourself to lose people around you. As you become more successful, some people are reminded that they are not doing anything with their lives and try to pull you back to the level they are at, saying you’ve ‘changed’. Don’t listen! My lightbulb moment was discovering ‘everything is marketing and marketing is everything’. The more you love what you do, the more successful you will be. Have you seen a highly successful who doesn’t love their work? Give love and reap the rewards.

THE RIGHT STUFF

IT’S NEVER EASY FINDING GREAT STAFF, BUT KEN WEST HAS A FEW TIPS TO HELP BOOST YOUR TEAM KEN WEST IS DIRECT0R OF BUSINESS EXPERTS 3•6•5

SALON OWNERS often ask me what’s the best way to find new team members? Unfortunately, there is no silver bullet. Some advertise in their window, some in magazines, some online and some use agencies or websites; there is no one method that works for all, though I wish there was. What I do know is that because of a shortage of candidates, salons often recruit the wrong people out of desperation. The fact is that they will often end up wondering what they are going to do with the person they have employed. So how can you avoid the pitfalls and end up with the right people in your team? Recruitment should be a structured process, the sort that large companies always have in place, but because we are smaller and often in need of a team member urgently, salon owners forget to follow or even to have such a process. That process, although appearing to be time consuming and slightly formal, could save stress and time in the future. I don’t intend to cover the legal aspects of recruitment here but I want to consider the ‘softer’ aspects we sometimes get wrong. It begins with creating a clear job description for the role. You should have one for every role within your salon, clearly defining what is expected from an employee to carry out the role. If the role has time away from home to attend courses or unsociable hours, this should also be made clear. I am often asked what to do with team members who don’t

3·6·5 provides a friendly, fun and encouraging learning environment where you will spend time with other, like-minded salon owners.

want to attend courses or participate in events, but if the job description was inclusive, these questions would not arise. The next step is the interview process. This is something that I have always struggled with because of two things – I talk too much and I don’t like uncomfortable silences. An interview should be an 80/20 process. About 20 per cent your questions, 80 per cent their answers, and if they cannot come up with an answer, then that failure to come up with an answer is all the answer you need. Think about it – if they can’t communicate their ideas, passion and vision to you, then how are they going to communicate with your clients? Always ask yourself this question: does the person that you are interviewing have the right attitude for the role, and also will they fit in with the culture of your salon? You can train skills but it’s much harder to change an attitude. If you decide that the candidate is right for the role then make them an offer, but confirm it clearly in writing along with written Conditions of Employment. The next part of a successful recruitment system is an induction process. It is so important to start people off with all the information that they need to carry out their role to the standards that you require. A day or two off the floor with the right coaches will pay dividends in the long run, setting them up for success instead of constantly having to say “that’s not the way we do it here”! Finally, have a culture in your salon of setting clearly defined performance standards and a regular review process with ongoing training to help people to achieve their goals and the team’s goals. You won’t always get it right and sometimes it’s wiser to let people go than to keep saying “they’re getting there”, especially if neither of you know where ‘there’ is!

LIVING WAGE ‘WILL FORCE UP PRICES’ SALONS WILL NEED to rethink their pricing strategies – both the prices they charge clients and how this premium is communicated to clients – if they’re going to cope with the arrival of the National Living Wage from this month, a leading salon owner and trainer has warned. Richard Wallace runs Richard Wallace Hair in Solihull and, with salon owner Chris Amos, also runs training consultancy Winning Ways. He argued it is not just the direct cost of the wage for over-25s but the additional costs of pensions auto-enrolment, rising business rates and rents, and extra wage costs being passed on by suppliers. Salons will also then need to look at how they can pass on some of this to clients. “The wage is going to force us to examine what our services are ‘worth’,” Richard said.

SALONS DIVIDED OVER MERITS OF UNIFORMS A POLL OF 330 NHF member salons has shown the industry to be surprisingly divided over the pros and cons of staff wearing uniforms. Opinion was split between those who felt uniforms gave a salon team a more professional look, and those who felt that, in a creative industry, forcing everyone to have a ‘uniform’ look risked stifling selfexpression and individuality. Nearly a third (32 per cent) said everyone in their salon had to wear the same clothes in the same style. Slightly more (39 per cent) left it up to team members to choose, but only as long as this fitted in with a general salon dress code (often black). A significant minority, 20 per cent, came down hard into the ‘anti’ camp, allowing employees to wear whatever they liked.

BUSINESSES ‘UNCLEAR’ ABOUT AUTO-ENROLMENT DUTIES NEARLY HALF OF business owners without a workplace pension scheme say they are still unclear about their new responsibilities under pensions autoenrolment, while 25 per cent are worried about whether they will be able to cope, research has shown. The study by the Federation of Small Businesses has echoed NHF research that has suggested nearly a fifth of salon owner members remain unclear about when they need to begin offering still don’t know this, a pension to their 1 Find out your staging date.

Apprentice NICs exemption comes in SALONS ARE BEING reminded that from this month they may no longer need to pay National Insurance contributions (NICs) for employing an apprentice, as long as the trainee is following an approved apprenticeship training and assessment framework. From 6 April any business employing an apprentice may not need to pay employer Class 1 National Insurance contributions on earnings below £827 a week, or the equivalent of £43,000 a year, the government has said. To qualify for this exemption, the apprentice must be under the age of 25, and following an approved government apprenticeship framework. There are different frameworks for England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, but the NHF has pointed out that if salons are using its standard apprenticeship agreements they will automatically be following one of these frameworks already.

This time

year…

…you could be running your own salon! If you fancy operating a successful business with a great support network, then become a Rush franchisee today

Creative HEAD: How have you found

BEING YOUR OWN BOSS is a wonderful feeling, but it can be a little daunting, which is why joining leading British brand Rush as a franchisee is the way to go. You get all the support and training you need to open your salon, with the confidence of knowing you have an extensive support network behind you. In the past 18 months, Rush has opened almost 20 salons nationwide. The brand’s first salon in the north of England, Rush Liverpool, was opened by franchisee Natalia Valenza in September last year...

the first few months in your new salon? Natalia Valenza: It has gone extremely well. Starting a new business in a new area is always a challenge, because customers in the Liverpool area are less familiar with the brand than those in London. However, in the past few months the salon has become more and more popular, and we are building up a loyal clientele who give us great feedback.

CH: How has Rush supported you? NV: The brand has supported me 100 per cent of the way. When I first opened the salon the Rush Artistic Team came up to Liverpool for a week and trained my whole team, from how to serve the client to technical aspects such as cutting and colouring.

There is no way I would have been able to do this on my own.

CH: What’s your favourite thing about being a franchisee?

NV: I absolutely love all of it. The hours can be long, but it’s completely worth it and so rewarding. I class myself as a professional person and everything I do is to a high standard. This salon is everything that I’ve worked for and it is definitely paying off.

CH: What plans do you have for the future? NV: If things go well in the next four to five years, I would like to open a few more salons. What I would really like to do is open a hair and beauty salon, as beauty is massive here in Liverpool and there’s a high demand for top-quality treatments. When I spoke with the Rush chairman about expanding, he was supportive of my goals.

SAM MCKNIGHT pulled off a PR coup at the Balmain A/W16 show during Paris Fashion Week, sending top supermodels onto the catwalk at Hôtel Potocki with hair colours radically different to their signature styles. The looks, which included Gigi Hadid as a chestnut brunette and Kendall Jenner as a platinum blonde, were created using custommade Balmain Paris Hair Couture wigs. Sam’s styles caused a social media sensation, with the backstage story (propelled by the bevy of supermodels and It Girls snapping selfies on their phones) eclipsing even the arrival of Kanye West and his mother-in-law Kris Jenner on the front row. The show featured an epic line-up of models, including Karlie Kloss, Jourdan Dunn, Lily Donaldson, Alessandra Ambrosio and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. Sam explains: “Designer Olivier Rousteing wanted to transform the girls with hair colour, so we did Kendall, Karlie and Alessandra as blondes, and Gigi, Lily and Rosie in their opposite colours. We spent 10 hours prepping and cutting wigs!” Creative HEAD was invited backstage by Balmain Paris Hair Couture and was thrilled to spot 2015 It Girl Kim Rance on Sam’s team. Way to go!

HAIR ICON

LIFE OF AN

ICON

THE 2015 MOST WANTED HAIR ICON HAS COME A LONG WAY FROM SATURDAYS IN A SOMERSET SALON AGED 13 – NOW ADAM REED HAS HIS OWN SALON GROUP AND PRODUCT LINE WITH BUSINESS PARTNER PAUL PERCIVAL, NOT TO MENTION A STAR-STUDDED CLIENT LIST AND DOZENS OF FASHION WEEK SHOWS TO LEAD. WE TALK PRODUCTS, CELEBRITIES AND WHY IT’S IMPORTANT TO STAY IN THE SALON CREATIVE HEAD: You’ve been involved with hair for three decades – and you always seem to be in fifth gear! ADAM REED: “We work so hard and a lot of hairdressers slow down at my age, but I don’t want to. I’m 43 and I never want to retire. I love the buzz of Fashion Week and shoots and I still pinch myself that I get to travel the world and meet incredible people and make incredible imagery. But I don’t see the need to go to every event, I want to keep a work/life balance. Going to a party doesn’t pay the bills. To run a business you have to put that time in. I hear of so many hairdressers reaching a certain point in their life and just burning out so I do try to keep Percy & Reed separate from my home life.” CH: What’s it like working with Paul? AR: “There are marriages that don’t go through what we have gone through! As with any relationship we get annoyed with each other, but we have massive respect for each other and we laugh a lot.”

CH: And having your own range must be a dream come true? AR: “The Percy & Reed product line is the bane of my life! I love it and I’m obsessed with products but there were so many things I felt were missing in hairdressing, so we started our range in 2012. I still love developing products and design – it has a quirky look and is quite under-styled, it represents us. Having a brand can be distracting but I’m proud of those products.”

CREATIVE HEAD

56-59_Adam Reed Feature.indd 2

CH: It has made you a star on QVC, too! AR: “You can go mainstream and into Boots, but we didn’t want to do that. We wanted to educate and QVC gave us that platform. It’s also great for getting your name out there. The channel has thousands of viewers and it’s a great driver for M&S and John Lewis so it’s very strategic for us. The only thing is I hate being on TV. It’s live but not to an audience so I just need to talk about the product, which I can do. I find it hard, although I find it harder going in front of hairdressers as they’re very critical. On Twitter people tend to be negative and hairdressers have never been shy about voicing opinions. We’re in an age where people think it’s okay to be so negative and it’s horrible, and social media hasn’t helped.”

CH: On top of all that, how do you balance a celebrity client list as well?

AR: “They are harder to manage because of their time expectations, but you just don’t do as many. It becomes word of mouth and I never massively pushed it. I don’t believe that just because you do celebrities, you’re a great hairdresser. I first did Mel Gibson and then his agent recommended me to others. I got Mel when I was working at The Dorchester, then I started doing Melanie Griffith and Val Kilmer. There’s Henry Holland and Agyness Deyn, too, but they’re also friends. You don’t think of them as any different to your regular clients, they get treated the same. I treat people how I would want to be treated. There is nothing worse than feeling let down

by someone so we try to never cancel appointments. It’s so much harder now to get into that world, as there are so many hairdressers who want to build a name for themselves. The fees offered are minimal, and some hairdressers will undercut to get the gig. I’d hate to do it now from the beginning.”

CH: Do you have any advice for stylists looking to follow in your footsteps to London Fashion Week? AR: “Fashion Week is harder to get into, because there are no budgets anymore. However, I love Fashion Week and encourage teams to do it, as it’s great for experience. I’ve learnt more about dressing hair there than anywhere else. But the salon is really important and I encourage everyone to work in one as that’s your bread and butter, and it enables you to do everything else. But I’ll admit I wouldn’t like to be a young hairdresser now.”

CH: How did it feel to be recognised at Most Wanted as a Hair Icon?

AR: “It was amazing and I was not

Hair Icon?

AR: “Well, I started properly when I was 13. I used to go with my Nan on Saturdays to the salon, and I did my City & Guilds in Minehead, Somerset. I made so many mistakes when I was in college: I remember scorching my sister’s hair trying to do a perm – I get on really well with her but I’ve never touched her hair since! I also remember bleaching my own hair with Domestos as I wanted to look like Billy Idol and I even had dreadlocks – I’d see it in the salon and think that I could do it!”

CH: When did you move to London? AR: “I was born in London and knew I always wanted to come back. I moved there in 1995, aged 22, to work for Charles Worthington. I grew with the business, I was with Carolyn Newman and it was a brilliant time. My peers were Zoë Irwin and Sally and Jamie Brooks and we were all friends. I loved being in London although it was hard work. Carolyn, along with Jane Worthington, revolutionised customer service, and Charles was so creative. We were one of the first salons to work backstage at the fashion shows and I knew that was what I wanted to do, but I had to work in a salon to make money. I had ideas of doing session exclusively, but I I really love working in a salon and it allowed me to do everything.”

expecting to win at all. I think it was the fourth time I was nominated and I was sat at the back, so didn’t think I’d win! The biggest thing for me was when I turned around and everyone was standing up clapping. I felt so much more emotional than I thought I would.”

CH: Why is that? AR: “Our group is still quite small, although we intend to open more salons, and as I don’t attend a lot of industry events maybe our name isn’t put out there as much as it could be. I don’t want to just be an industry hairdresser; while I love the hairdressing industry I don’t think it’s healthy to have only one main interest.”

CH: How do you do it differently to others? AR: “We really try to grasp both industry and consumer. I don’t have any desire to be adored by anyone. There are a lot of egos out there, but we just love what we

do. I would never undersell anybody, we do run a business and sometimes you’re expected to do things for free, but we value ourselves. I’m also not massively embarrassed by anything we do, so one day we’ll do Britain’s Got Talent and the next shoot for Elle and Vogue, have beauty editors in and be at London Fashion Week. I’m not shy about saying yes to anything!”

CH: So what do you consider to be your career highlights so far?

AR: “Winning Most Wanted – alongside moving to London, my first day at Charles Worthington and opening my own salon – are some of the biggest moments in my life. Percy & Reed is what I’m really proud of and it’s exactly what we wanted it to be. I also loved doing Henry Holland’s first show, as it really felt like the beginning of something new – that was 10 years ago now. But I don’t take myself too seriously, I’ve a lot still to achieve – I steer clear of things because it causes me anxiety and sometimes I wish we lived in a nicer world. I do industry stuff, particularly with ghd and L’Oréal Professionnel but I’d like to do more. I’d also love to go to a developing country to teach kids how to cut hair. Once you’ve got that skill, it doesn’t go away; if somebody’s hair looks good, it’s amazing how it can make you feel. It’s that giving-back vibe.”

York to open up a salon, but you decided to return home after 18 months. AR: “Yes, it was really hard when I first moved back. I needed an agent and Paul Percival was with a good agency, but I still wanted to work in the salon while doing session and editorial work. I needed someone I could balance that with. When Paul first suggested opening our own salon, I said no and we didn’t speak for a while about it. But later I thought it could work for me – I was 35 and I thought if I didn’t do it then I never would. I still don’t think it’s a complete success, but we have a great team and that’s what’s really endearing about us as not many people have heard of us.”

Mark, Callum and Paul May from The Egg

CREATIVE HEAD: What do you think of your Aveda makeover? Which is your favourite element and why? MARK BLUNSTEN AND CALLUM STANDEN: “We are so pleased. It’s clearly an Aveda salon, but still has its own identity. We love the living wall – it’s attracted so much interest from clients and passers-by, and has created a real point of difference for our salon.” CH: What changes have you noticed since the makeover? MB AND CS: “The team loves the new look. Staff members are really excited we’re partnering with Aveda; they love the fact that it truly is a lifestyle brand, rather than just hair care products. They’re really behind the ethos of the brand.

*From plants, non-petroleum minerals or water

YOU’VE SEEN the visuals, now see the business impact the Aveda makeover had on The Egg, in the June issue of Creative HEAD!

YOU KNOW HOW hard it is to win loyal clients and increasingly they are looking for much more than a cut and blow dry – they want an experience, with a name they can trust who delivers what they want. And with the growing interest in wellbeing and environmental responsibility, clients are more discerning than ever. This is where Aveda can truly make a difference to your salon business, and your clients’ loyalty! The brand’s mission is to care for the world we live in, from the products it makes to the ways in which it gives back to society. From responsible packaging that’s beautiful and premium-looking to pioneering naturally-derived hair colour,* Aveda can offer your salon a unique point of difference – how many other brands can truly say that? If that wasn’t enough, the business support Aveda offers is second to none. “As experts in retail, we know it’s vital to create an experiential buying environment, which focuses on your guests, not a selling environment,” explains Darren Potter, general manager for Aveda UK & Ireland. “It’s essential to create a sensory experience for your guests if you want them to engage with your brand in as many ways as possible.” Aveda brought its incredible know-how to its partnership with The Egg, designing a breathtaking city retreat that stands apart from the rest of the high street and delivers a luxurious and relaxing experience to clients. “We wanted to create a unique environment that grabs the attention of clients and passers-by alike,” adds Darren. “The living wall and Mr Chakra statue certainly achieve this, while expressing our brand philosophy – connecting beauty, environment and wellbeing.”

CR EATIV E HE AD AD VE RT OR IAL

STAND OUT FROM THE REST WITH AVEDA

They’re really pleased that they can offer their clients natural products, which is something clients have been requesting. We’ve had lots of enthusiasm around the aromas, from both team and clients alike! People notice the Aveda aroma as soon as they come in.”

CH: Has the new look created interest from passers-by? MB AND CS: “Absolutely! The power of the brand was drawing in guests just one week after the makeover – they’re actually stopping and coming in because we stock Aveda now. We noticed a dramatic increase in retail sales after just one week, so we have already placed our order for more products. We’re more than a salon now – we’re a destination!”

MEN'S GROOMING MAN IS MAKING A COMEBACK IN THE WORLD OF HAIR – SO THERE'S NO BETTER TIME TO GET YOUR SALON SHELVES STOCKED WITH THE LATEST IN GROOMING LUXURY

IT’S A BOOM time for barbering and grooming in British salons – last year salons reported a 44 per cent increase in men setting foot through their doors, according to the Salon Services Beautiful Britain 2016 report. This means men now make up a fifth of all customers at hair and beauty salons, with 60 per cent of professionals offering male grooming services or planning to offer them in the next 12 months. As well as the number of men visiting salons, the frequency of guys’ visits has also increased – they’re now leaving less time between treatments. Shaving treatments are up by 59 per cent, with men now leaving 2.9 weeks between trips, as opposed to 7.2 weeks in 2014. And they are leaving four weeks between haircuts, compared with five weeks the year before.

This capsule collection of styling essentials from Balmain Paris Hair Couture is brilliant for boys – from the Matt Paste to the Shine Wax, there’s something for every head.

RRP £89.95

balmainhair.com

Want to avoid any nasties? Crystal Clear Sculpting Wax is a chemical-free wax from Kitoko ARTE, with natural ingredients such as fire tulip and sea buckthorn.

RRP £11.95

And although the price of most other male grooming services has remained the same, the average male customer’s annual spend has also risen. The average annual spend for a basket of treatments (haircut, hair removal, tan and massage) is up from £541 in 2014, to £711 in 2015. Up-selling on premium male grooming products remains a revenue booster, too, with men spending an extra £6 on average on products following treatments. Perhaps unsurprisingly, David Beckham remains the top style inspiration for men when visiting salons according to 39 per cent of professionals, followed by TOWIE’s Mark Wright (12 per cent) and James Bond himself, Daniel Craig (seven per cent).

A revolution in a tub, Xpander Jelly from Fudge Professional gives thicker, fuller hair in an instant. It contains Fibre-Dense Technology to increase hair density by 100 per cent. Perfect for gents whose hair is looking a little sparse…

It’s not a wax, a paste or a crème – Sumotech from Bumble and bumble is a combination of all three to create stretch in the hair, alongside exceptional pliability and lasting memory. Magic in a tub!

POMP AND CIRCUMSTANCE THINKING OF BOOSTING YOUR BUSINESS WITH BARBERING? HERE’S A LITTLE INSPIRATION…

SCHOREM BARBIER

THE ‘SCUMBAG BARBERS of Rotterdam’ are perhaps the most thrilling grooming crew on the international circuit, and that’s all borne out of its ‘no BS’ approach. The barbershop itself, opened in 2010, focuses on the classics – think pompadours, flat-tops, contours - and has a strict ‘no women allowed’ policy. The shop is like entering a bygone age, and men queue from morning ’til late, Tuesday to Saturday (no bookings!) to get a shave or cut while being entertained with shots of bourbon. There’s no interest in trends; they do what they do and their popularity with other barbers across the world has seen them launch education – The Old School Barber Academy – and their own product line, Reuzel. Freshly launched in the UK, it includes the iconic tins of Grease and Pomade alongside Hair Tonic and Grooming Tonic.

THIS IS THE winning look for the UK and Ireland from the American Crew All Star Challenge – congratulations to Sandra Perovic from Bonds Gentleman’s Barber Shop Bournemouth. Fingers crossed she’s selected for the global final in Paris – the winner gets a cash prize of $10,000 (£7,000), alongside a scholarship to American Crew education.

AVEDA MEN GROOMING DESTINATION A FEW YEARS ago, Aveda had an idea – to trial a pop-up barbering area in its famous London Institute, to coincide with London Collections: Men. The experiment was such a success that it became a permanent section of the Institute, headed up by master barber and educator, Stel Nicolaou. In late 2015, Darren Potter, general manager for Aveda UK & Ireland, hit the stage in front of a near 3,000 strong audience at Aveda’s Congress in Minneapolis, to present the concept ahead of a rollout across the UK and then the world. And the UK Academy is about to launch the Aveda Core Men barbering course, too. “Many of our salons have been inspired and visit the Aveda Men Grooming Destination to understand how this concept might translate in their salon environment,” says Darren. Not bad for one little pop-up.

THE MASTER BARBER’S SHOP THIS AWARD-WINNING and bustling barbershop in Southport is mixing old with new and shaping the next generation of men’s hairdressers. Headed by fatherand-son, Robert and Dan Rix, this dynamic duo will be on hand to talk about the boom in men’s grooming at The Coterie, on 25 April in London.

MEN’S ROOM GOT A SALON BUT WANT TO BRANCH OUT INTO BARBERING? LET DARREN HAYWARD FROM GENTLEMEN & ROGUES CLUB TELL YOU WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

I’VE EVOLVED FROM being a busy unisex hairdresser to an even busier barber. Last summer I opened the Gentlemen & Rogues Club, which is a men’s only part of independent salon MalcolmTinaBarker in Poole. Barbering has become very ‘rock ’n’ roll’ and is growing all the time – if you’re not catering for it you’re missing out. However, you do have to understand the difference between the art of hairdressing and the craft of barbering. We have all heard of the ‘client journey’ before, taking them by the hand to guide them through their visit. A man doesn’t want you to take his hand; he just wants a haircut. He likes to be greeted, sure, but he’s a man and wants to be treated as such. Keep it casual and light-hearted, your gent wants to feel at home as he steps in. Our opening hours start later and finish late (8pm three nights a week) and we play the right music dependent on the time of day – rock ’n’ roll in the morning, blues and jazz in the afternoon, and hip-hop to keep us going in the evening. The layout is very important – no soft furnishings of any kind – this is a man cave. There’s no TV or WiFi, we have a pot of coffee for gents to help themselves to and puzzles or cards to help them interact with each other. When six or seven customers are all joining in on the same conversation the banter is amazing. Beard-shaping, fades, hot towel shaves and the classic short, back and sides are the order of most days; the beard is still massive in the shop with sales of oil and balms increasing each month. We also have a large amount of customers taking home hair products. We only use two brands – stick to what you like, the guy in the chair trusts you so only use what you sell. The transition from hairdressing to barbering is a giant leap. Hairdressers are masters of the soft curl, texture and blow dry. For men’s work it can be the opposite, with square shapes, clean lines and sharp edges. Yes, you need to be able to create texture and shape as a barber, but generally barbering is the Yin to the hairdressing Yang. Barbering is a craft – creating similar shapes over and over again in quick succession. Hairdressing is an art form using colour and texture, with much more variety. The space between the craft and art is closing and more shops now try to attract both genders but, let’s be honest, most ‘unisex’ salons are 85 per cent women and will do men’s hair if they dare to come in. It’s why we’ve put together day workshops for hairdressers to understand men’s grooming and barbering, offering small groups education on beards, clipper work, maintaining equipment, classic scissor and comb techniques and current trends. Starting with just two barbers in July, we’ve doubled our workforce and gained more than 2,500 Instagram followers. Our customer base is 35 per cent higher than predicted and the business keeps growing. With the right skill set and attitude, the sky is the limit – barbering is creative, fun and challenging. Take your clippers and comb and create a whole new income for your staff and shop.
