The edit THE NEWS AND KNOW-HOW FROM YOUR INDUSTRY
MALE GROOMING MARKET ON THE UP THE MEN’S HAIRCARE market is forecast to grow 11 per cent over the next five years to £94 million by 2020, despite the market remaining stable in the UK at £85 million between 2014 and 2015. The research by Mintel also found men are visiting salons more often, especially for important life events, with 30 per cent of men who use haircare products saying on special occasions they prefer to visit a barber or hairdresser to have their hair styled. Steve Rowbottom, director and co-founder of Westrow salon group in Yorkshire, said: “We’ve definitely seen an increase in men visiting the salon for a cut or re-style in the run up to a wedding, holiday, stag do, party or even before a night out. Men aren’t as shy as they once were and are happy to spend money on looking good. When it comes to products, men are spending more money on grooming.” While men’s haircare is going from strength to strength, the women’s haircare market has seen sales decline from £1.4bn in 2014 to £1.39bn in 2015, the research revealed. Conditioner and treatments are suffering the most in the women’s haircare market, declining by 4.7 per cent in 2015. The drop seems to be down to women moving away from complex haircare routines, with 40 per cent of female haircare product users saying they have styled their hair less frequently in the past 12 months. Even on special occasions, women prefer to keep it simple, with 65 per cent sticking to their usual haircare or styling products. Roshida Khanom, senior personal care analyst at Mintel, said: “The women’s haircare category has struggled to grow in value in recent years as savvy shopping behaviours mean women are buying branded products at discount retailers. In addition, when it comes to daytime styling habits, most female haircare users prefer to spend as little time styling their hair as possible.”

American Crew celebrates the Elvis Effect IF YOU’VE GOT Elvis Presley as your King of men’s grooming, you’ve got to do something rather special to unveil him! That’s why American Crew took over legendary jazz club Ronnie Scott’s for a fascinating discussion on Elvis’s lasting impact on men’s style. After an introduction by Lisa Jackson, general manager of Revlon Professional Brands for the UK & Ireland, an expert panel hosted by American Crew’s senior global education manager, Mike Sharkey, came on stage. There to dissect Elvis’s ever-lasting appeal was stylist and publisher Sascha Lilic; London College of Fashion’s Anthony Sullivan and journalist and author, Daryl Easlea. There was also a sneaky look at the limited edition Elvis styling products, which were showcased by Johnny BaBa of Barber Barber; Nick Taylor of Taylor Taylor Sheffield; Izaak Brading at Mod and Ian Harrold from Attitude (above).

THE INSIDE TRACK ON THE HOTTEST SALON IDEAS
SHELLEY PENGILLY SHELLEY’S SALON
Celebrity stylist Paul Norton has found a key salon time-saver EVERYONE IS A little timepoor nowadays, but celebrity stylist Paul Norton believes salons can make back some of that precious time by introducing a two-in-one system at the backwash. “In the past, two-in-one products for cleansing and conditioning couldn’t cut it,” he explained. “Either they didn’t cleanse well enough or hair was still tangled after rinsing.” This is why Paul, whose clients include Robin Wright, Taylor Swift and Natalie Portman, is backing the new JOICO Co+Wash Whipped Cleansing Conditioners. “The lush, whipped formula means that the product is easy to distribute through the hair, so you need less of it and it takes less time to get that satisfying ‘lathered up’ feeling.” Co+Wash is sulphatefree and leaves hair soft and healthy. Paul adds: “My clients have also mentioned that using Co+Wash increases the longevity of their colour, too.” Available in three formulations, RRP £15.95 each, these time-saving products could soon become your new backwash heroes.
L’ORÉAL HOSTS GLOBAL HAIR NIGHT L’ORÉAL PROFESSIONNEL is not a brand that does things by halves, illustrated by its worldwide Hair Fashion Night. Thousands of L’Oréal Professionnel salons in the UK, US, France, Germany, Brazil and China hosted complimentary styling appointments for new and existing clients who could choose from six hair looks. In East London, a free event was held at the Village Underground where beauty enthusiasts and passers-by could receive expert advice on the best hair colour and cut to suit them. The evening also saw Most Wanted 2015 Hair Icon, Adam Reed, and bloggers Lydia Elise Millen and Lilly Pebbles, discuss hair trends for summer.
UK wins Paul Mitchell prize A UK stylist has scooped the top international prize in the first ever Paul Mitchell Color Outside the Lines competition. Alexandria Garner, from Xandria’s in Lincolnshire, secured the victory, which includes a trip to Paul Mitchell’s The Gathering in Las Vegas and an international Paul Mitchell photoshoot.
With festival season coming up I’m busy preparing for milk_shake’s pop-up salons at Glastonbury and at Cornbury. There’s so much to do, from building the salon furniture (a little sideline of mine) to creating a salon menu and lookbook. Then I’m off to work backstage at the Wildlife festival in Brighton.

June kicks off with the It List judging, which I always enjoy doing but it can be difficult as the standard is so high. I’m then spending a few days in the salon, which I like as I enjoy seeing my regular clients. It’s then on to The Coterie in Leeds, where I’ll be talking about my session and editorial work!
KEITH HALL MBE: 1921 – 2016
KH Hair founder, Keith Hall MBE, has passed away at the age of 94. Keith’s hairdressing career spanned several decades, spearheading revolutionary concepts such as the unisex salon, the salon franchise format and the opening of one of the UK’s first dedicated hairdressing training academies. After serving in the Royal Air Force during the Second World War, Keith entered the family salon business and set out to update hairdressing across the East Midlands. In 1968, he recruited Stephen Messias from Sassoon to be his art director, and the duo began building pioneering educational programmes. Keith retired in the 1980s, but he remained close with the managing directors of the now 22-strong salon group, Tim Fee and Stephen’s son Darren Messias.

WHY DID YOU WANT TO BE A HAIRDRESSER? I enjoy the artistic expression in the trade. Hair is an art and I like making people happy too, be it through a good cut or a simple conversation. And you never stop learning. When I was training, I did a set of foils in different patterns around my mannequin but my instructor failed me. I thought I‘d done a good job, so I asked him why I failed. He said: “if you were perfect, you wouldn’t be here.” That has stuck with me ever since.
SANDRA PEROVIC
AGE: 22 SALON: BOND’S GENTLEMEN’S BARBERSHOP, BOURNEMOUTH WHAT HAVE BEEN YOUR HIGHLIGHTS SO FAR? I’ve just won the Global American Crew All Star competition, a prize of $10,000 (£6,900) and a week-long all expenses paid trip to Paris, learning and shooting with American Crew founder, David Raccuglia – he was so inspirational! In Canada, I’ve also won two Mirror awards and placed in the top five in the newcomer category for the Contessa competition, two years in a row, and I placed in the men’s semi-finals there, too.
WHAT WOULD BE YOUR DREAM HAIRDRESSING GIG? I would love to do photoshoots for a living, I enjoy the creative freedom it offers. They’re so versatile, there is never a dull moment. I feel like I could shoot forever without getting bored of it!
WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 10 YEARS? I see myself being an educator. I can’t stress how important education is; it helps shape us. I would love to help the next generation learn and strive to succeed in all aspects of the industry.

Inside story THE CHAPEL TUNBRIDGE WELLS THE FIRST SALON in The Chapel’s three-strong group, this Kent favourite has enjoyed a stunning makeover that focuses on colour and education. Welcome, then, the informative and artistic ‘workshop’ environment for its colour studio, designed and furnished by interior design agency, In House Junkie. To give the studio a communal warmth and inclusive vibe, it sourced a rustic workbench, a centrepiece now hosting a plethora of artists’ tools and accessories. Fuse that with artist Haydn Cornner’s interpretation of The Chapel’s ‘Know Thyself’ message in a bespoke, hand-painted piece that ranges from colour charts to pop-art, and it’s clear it has been transformative. “We believe the longest-standing hurdle in the colouring process has been the language barrier and education gap,” explains Jimmy Goodwin, customer communications manager at The Chapel. “Now we hope it’s an easy and involving experience. Whether it’s down to the minor changes such as new refreshments every few months, music choice, layout or design, we like to make sure an appointment doesn’t become predictable.”

THE BUSINESS EDIT FROM INSIDE
THE SALON
JANE WILLIAMS AND VICKI MEREDITH REED HAIR
The way salons set their price structures really interests us. As co-owners of a salon for nearly 10 years, we’ve recently had a big overhaul of the way we charge our clients. We now charge for time and not services. Men want to spend more time in the salon and colouring is so much more creative now – women want more than just highlights. By booking time, they can have what they like with no hidden extras. Obviously we didn’t want our stylists or business to lose out, so our starting point was our busiest stylists. We calculated their takings on 80 per cent capacity and then broke this up into hours. For example, a women’s cut and finish is usually an hour, while a gent’s is 45 minutes. When broken into 15-minute chunks, a man pays the same, time wise. We started this in January, and the feedback we’ve received has been amazing!
DO SALON PRICES DISCRIMINATE BASED ON GENDER? IN THE LIGHT of the recent BBC Identity campaign – which included a piece on salons charging different prices for the same services for men and women – the spotlight has turned on owners and managers to consider their pricing, and what message it may convey. A recent NHF survey found the vast majority of member salons – 84 per cent – still split their price list by gender, although nearly a fifth (18 per cent) admitted that clients had asked why services were priced differently. According to the Salon Services Beautiful Britain Report 2016, the average cost of a male cut was £11; it was £25 for a woman. The NHF argues that salons could be more open and transparent with clients about why prices sometimes vary. “We are seeing a definite trend towards men paying higher prices as they are now asking for services such as full colour, highlights or perms, which have historically been more commonly requested by female clients,” says outgoing NHF president, Paul Curry. “These services take longer to do, use more products and require more skilled and experienced stylists, which is why salons charge higher prices for them.” The NHF also found nearly 85 per cent of salons hadn’t considered the possible benefits of having a gender-neutral price list. “By not being open on price, salons leave themselves vulnerable to claims of discrimination. As attitudes change, actively promoting your price list as being gender-neutral can be a great marketing point,” he concluded.
However, Laundry’s Mitchell Wilson argues “socioeconomic” challenges, as well as tradition, drive prices. “Would all salons like to charge more for men? Absolutely! And could they charge less for women? Absolutely not!” he says. “The time and skill level is often identical for both genders and styles merge and change, but the point of difference comes down to what people will pay.” He also states that environment plays a part – women who want shorter hair and some men might not favour the “laddish” environs of some barbers. “It’s about it being their space that they pay a little extra to occupy,” he says. Different prices date back to separate hair salons and barbers, with the latter offering lots of clipper work, which cuts down on time and costs. “Now salons can cater for men and women equally and we have men’s hairdressing using mostly scissors,” says Bryn Wilkins at Easton Regal. “You can justify charging guys less when they come in every couple of weeks but it can take just as long to cut a man’s hair as it does a woman’s.” Indeed, a consensus seems to be growing around charging by time spent. At 2015 Most Wanted Business Thinker Caroline Sanderson’s new Preening Pod, a make-up and style bar, they work on men and charge for time. “Often salons are doing services like gents and kids at too low a price, so by using time slots as a guide you know all your services are equally profitable,” she explains. “It’s never been questioned by clients.”

CALL FOR SALONS TO LINK WITH TOURISM OVER VAT
SALONS WARNED OVER LIVING WAGE THE NHF is to make the case for restraint in any future increases in the National Minimum Wage (NMW) and National Living Wage (NLW), as the Low Pay Commission has started consulting with employers, unions and others about wage rates for 2017-18. The Commission recommends to government what NMW and NLW rates should be, with ministers normally accepting its recommendations. NMW rates are set to go up this year from October but, from next year, the rates for both the NMW and the NLW will be set from April. The Commission has begun a consultation that will run until the end of July, including holding events around the country where salons will have an opportunity to meet commissioners to discuss the effect wage increases are having on them. The Commission has said it is particularly interested to examine what effect the introductory NLW rate of £7.20 an hour has had. The NHF’s anecdotal evidence is that the impact of the new wage on salons, so far, appears to have been relatively limited. In most salons, stylists aged 25 or over are normally already running a full column and therefore should be earning above the NLW anyway. Hilary Hall, chief executive of the NHF, said: “Alongside the Commission’s consultation, the NHF will be running its own consultation with members and, from there, submitting evidence. But we also encourage salon owners who want to make their case direct to the Commission to do so, as the more evidence the Commission has in front of it, the better,” she added. Full details on the visits can be found at gov.uk/government/organisations/low-pay-commission
AN NHF MEMBER has urged salons to join forces with tourism businesses to press the case for VAT reform. Neil Brewer, owner of Enhance Hair & Beauty in Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset, lobbied his local Conservative MP, James Heappey, about the benefit of a variable rate of VAT for hairdressing, arguing a more flexible system would better support small, labour-intensive businesses such as hairdressing salons. Neil said: “If it is unfair for tourism, it’s unfair for us. I think it’s time salons and the industry as a whole made a bit of noise about this to their MPs. I wonder too if, as an industry, we should look to join up with tourism companies to give us a more powerful, joint voice.” The British Hospitality Association has for some time been lobbying for government to introduce a five per cent rate of VAT on visitor accommodation and attractions, arguing that paying the full 20 per cent VAT puts the industry at a competitive disadvantage to Europe.
HAIR LOSS GROUP LAUNCHES
NHF appoints new president SCOTTISH SALON OWNER Agnes Leonard is the new national president for the NHF, taking over from current president Paul Curry. Agnes (pictured left), who is owner of Croppers Hair Studio in Dundee, will be the NHF’s first female president. “Being president of the NHF is a huge responsibility but also a huge honour,” she said. “Paul has been an excellent president for the past twoand-a-half years and will be a hard act to follow. The industry has come through some difficult times in the past few years and, with prices and wages rising, there are going to be many challenges salons will face.” Ian Egerton, owner of The Stress Exchange in London, has been elected as vice-president, taking over the role from Agnes.
A NEW BODY, the Association of Registered Trichologists (ART), has been unveiled. Led by TrichoCare Consulting, it will be a membership organisation for those with an ITEC Level 4 certificate in trichology. The aim is for ART to be an independent professional body for trichologists, and act to promote and develop trichology services, quality and standards within the UK and beyond. There will be a range of membership levels, from student to fellow, dependent on qualification and level of experience, as well as a corporate membership category. The cost of membership has yet to be fully confirmed and the intention is also to set up a central ART register.

QA
TAKE TO TWITTER AND QUIZ YOUR HAIR HEROES! WHAT’S UNIQUE ABOUT YOUR NEW TRAINING PROPOSITION? Each course is completely bespoke, so we’re not following the normal step formula of training courses. Each programme will be created after a consultation and be adapted to the level of the hairdresser/ requirements and what they would like to focus on. We can also visit you in your own salon, or clients are invited to us, or even at one of our affiliate academies. The Taylor Taylor London Education has been created with a clear course directive to not only inspire hairdressers to learn and develop new techniques, but also to enable them to identify and translate those future trends for themselves and their clients back in the salon. In essence, we wish to inspire, not to copy.
WHO’S ON THE TEAM? There is a core team – including myself, Maria Galati, Jane Stacey and Michael Kelly – but because of our collective of talent, we will match the team to fit the course and the requirements of the salon and its clients.

ANDREW COLLINGE
You invest heavily in team training. How can salons develop their teams more effectively?
@BuildYourSalon I would advise salons that are training their own staff for the first time to choose a provider offering good commercial and practical experience with tutors who are practising hairdressers. Where do you get your never-ending stream of inspiration?
@misterhaircare Working with talented hairdressers helps to inspire me – whether you are competing against them or motivating a team. Working alongside my wife, Liz, on This Morning was a very exciting opportunity. At the time it was a new direction for TV and it was the early days of television makeovers; I was styling the hair and Liz was doing the make-up. I can’t over-emphasise how much Liz has helped me through everything, giving me strength and motivation. What’s been your proudest achievement so far?
@easydryintl Following in the footsteps of my father, building on his success. I have a team of fantastic people and I’m proud that my son, Charlie, is moving the business in a new and exciting direction. There been so many changes in this industry – what has been the best and worst?
@radianthairc Creative colour work as the norm has been a significant change for the better. I fear more red tape for apprentices and their employers could be for the worse. What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?
@lauren_clox During my apprenticeship at MichaelJohn, I was advised by Michael Rasser to learn how to dress long hair. I was then fortunate to learn from the best, assisting Robert Lobetta on shows and shoots. Next issue: Zoë Irwin Email Amanda@alfol.co.uk or tweet @creativeheadmag
IN THE BAG
WHEN THE 5p charge for plastic carrier bags from large retailers was introduced last year, many salons took the opportunity to re-evaluate their own bags. “We made the move from plastic to paper bags a while ago but to have these branded is quite costly,” explains Ross Charles, from York’s Ross Charles. “So we decided to buy plain, stylish boutique retail bags online, adding our own salon logo and URL printed on a good quality sticker that’s made locally.”

BIG IDEA
LAUNDRY CAFE
SHEFFIELD SALON Laundry, the Most Wanted Best New Salon of 2014, is already a firm favourite with stylish South Yorkshire folk. But co-founder Mitchell Wilson has never looked at his shop as just a salon, and to prove it he’s opened Laundry Cafe with his co-founder Nick Clark from design agency 93ft. So what, you might think; other salons have little coffee spots inside? But this is no tiny table for a tea cup – the front-ofhouse section has been completely transformed. This is a 20-seat space offering Climpson & Sons coffee, artisan tea from Teapigs and Libby Limon cold press juice to entice customers in. “Coffee is an important part of our brand now. We use it for client loyalty and to drive business,” explains Mitchell. “We offer one free beverage per service to clients, then we have a variety of loyalty options based on spend and frequency of visits. These are constantly evolving, but we try to aim them at getting new people in the door, such as free coffee for three friends. The cafe is a good place to come and check out the salon as some people find it pretty scary going to a new hairdresser.” Coffee cups are designed and branded, as are the juice bottles. And not only are the cold presses super tasty, but they will also help encourage brighter eyes, stronger hair and glowing skin. Ours is a Root Juice please! Oh, and maybe a slice of cake, too...

FORM A LIFELONG BOND
BONDPRO+ BY GOLDWELL IS KEY TO BEAUTIFUL, HEALTHY HAIR AND A CLIENT RELATIONSHIP THAT LASTS
YOUR CLIENTS LOVE their colour, but they don’t love the way the colouring process can sometimes leave their hair looking dry and dull. So what if adding two more steps to the process could change that? The new BONDPRO+ by Goldwell does exactly that. BONDPRO+ works to strengthen and protect the hair during the colouring process, reducing breakage and boosting resistance without affecting the colouration or bleaching outcome. Hair is left healthier, revitalised and deeply nourished as well as being gorgeously coloured. Designed to work in tandem with specific Goldwell products, BONDPRO+ is an innovative two-step system that leaves hair looking better than ever.
STEP 1: Mix BONDPRO+ Protection Serum with the colour product and apply to client’s hair. The highly concentrated serum prevents hair breakage by penetrating deep into the hair, protecting fibre from within. STEP 2: Apply BONDPRO+ Nourishing Fortifier after rinsing out the colouring service and before shampooing. The rich, intensive treatment reinforces the bonds in the hair, leaving the hair fibre strengthened and deeply nourished.
Spend some bonding time with your clients today with BONDPRO+ by Goldwell. To find out more, call 020 3540 1200 or visit goldwell.co.uk 42

SYMPOSIUM
AS LOCATIONS GO, you’d be hard-pressed to beat Barcelona. Lapped by the Mediterranean, it’s a city that never fails to excite the senses, making it the perfect host for Redken’s Symposium Tour 2016. The three-day event kicked off with model and Redken muse, Amber Le Bon, on the decks and an adrenaline-fuelled grand opening that left the audience in no doubt about what it had to look forward to: fun, education and lots of passion. The second day opened with Redken guest artists Adam Browne, Jenny Karlsson and Brayden Pelletier taking attendees on a world tour of colour; before giving the stage to Teresa Mockler, Kelly Scott and Toby Meyer, who revealed how to nail a consultation. Day three was all about trends and design with Daniel Golz, Stefano Santoro and Marco Arena explaining how to translate runway trends for the salon, while Sam Villa, Ludovic Beckers and Gary Russell thrilled with their techniques to wow clients. It was then on to an evening of tapas and sangria in the Catalonian capital.

A FAVOURITE PORT of call for Bardot, Beyoncé and billionaires, the exquisite Sardinian resort of Costa Smerelda was the perfect setting for L’Oréal Professionnel to welcome its elite Portfolio members. The weekend of lavish entertainment and inspirational business thinking was hosted by Omar Hajeri, managing director of L’Oréal Professional Products Division, and Monica Teodoro, general manager of L’Oréal Professionnel. Guests enjoyed the company of entrepreneurs such as YO! Sushi’s Simon Woodroffe OBE and Tamara Lohan MBE of boutique hotel guide Mr & Mrs Smith, and heard how engineer-turned-fashionista Patrick Grant resurrected the Savile Row tailor Norton & Sons. They learned the latest in digital thinking from Alex Hunter, formerly of Virgin Group, as well as enjoying boat trips, beach excursions and a closing bayside dinner party with DJ and dancing. And after all that, guests were transported back to the UK in a privately hired plane, laden with gifts of Sardinian food and wine. Now that’s how you do jet set…

46-49_Scene June.indd 4
A THOROUGHLY good-looking Coterie, in association with American Crew, debated all things men’s fashion and grooming. Father and son duo, Robert and Dan Rix from The Company of Master Barbers in Southport, kicked off with brilliant anecdotes brewed from 50 years’ worth of experience. They display as many as 500 products in their seven shop windows and shared impressive retail figures (the record is £451 on product alone!). Then Ky Wilson – session stylist, salon owner and street-styling maverick – had the audience enraptured as he showed footage of his pop-up salon exploits, before explaining how he gravitated towards men’s hair. The grand finale was a fashion-forward trio – up-and-coming menswear designer Charles Jeffrey, session legend John Vial and Ponystep founder and British Fashion Council member, Richard Mortimer, to talk club culture, street fashion and how grooming fits into the male catwalk resurgence. And if that wasn’t enough, every guest walked away with an American Crew goodie bag that celebrated the brand’s link up with the King of men’s grooming, Elvis Presley.

g in r e t t li g ONE MOMENT CAN CHANGE
everyt hing
A SINGLE MOMENT can put you on a new course that changes… well, everything! Back in 2015, Anne Veck was new to Revlon Professional and was a guest in Rome to witness the incredible global Style Masters event. Unfortunately, the UK had no finalist to cheer for, in that or the American Crew All Star Challenge. No UK entrant had ever made it through to the grand final of either contest. But a spark in Anne was lit – maybe, just maybe, next year. Fast forward to April 2016. The setting? Paris, the City of Light. An astonishing 4,400 attendees are celebrating the global finals of Revlon Professional’s Style Masters and the American Crew All Star Challenge. For the first time, the UK has a finalist in each – Anne Veck has made it to Style Masters, while 22-year-old Sandra Perovic from Bond’s Gentlemen’s Barbershop in Bournemouth is jostling for victory in the American Crew All Star Challenge. There’s electricity in the air, a current of possibility… Both contests are laser-focused on styling – there’s no colour here. Each competition offers something unique – a cash prize to each winner. A generous €10,000 (£7,900) to the Style Masters winner; $10,000 (£6,900) to the All Star Challenge victor. And both of those prizes came home to the UK, an illustration of the creativity, determination and support from the home Revlon Professional team to illustrate just what is possible with this partner, in your salon or barbershop and on an international stage. With Revlon Professional and American Crew by your side, what could you be celebrating next year?

WHERE COULD YOU GO
in 2017?
THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING – AS REVLON PROFESSIONAL AND AMERICAN CREW CONTINUE TO EXPAND AND IGNITE IMAGINATIONS ACROSS THE UK, THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS
THE REVLON PROFESSIONAL Style Masters event is one of the largest on the hairdressing calendar. This year 4,400 attended – next year will be even bigger and you could be there to witness the passion, the excitement and the creativity. In Paris, the UK was invited to stage a show on the phenomenally long catwalk as the guest artist country, which inspired the creation of the Revlon Professional Pro Masters Team – Robert Masciave, Anne Veck, Rae Palmer, Thomas Hills, Michelle Griffin, Steven Smart, Paul Meekin and John Morrison, ably assisted by American Crew ambassadors Johnny BaBa and Dan Rix. The huge crowd was spellbound by their Game of Thrones-themed presentation, with a wardrobe featuring archive pieces from the TV favourite, curated by super-stylist Bernard Connolly. It was a brilliant illustration of what the UK, together with Revlon Professional Brands, can do on a global scale. And with Elvis Presley unveiled as the King of men’s grooming for American Crew, there’s never been a better time to build up your barbering business. It’s the perfect fit: a true style icon, alongside an iconic grooming brand. No guts, no glory – change it up and see where life takes you. The time is now…

“AT PRIMARY SCHOOL I would sit in assembly and look at the other girls, thinking ‘if she cut her hair to her shoulders, it wouldn’t be so straggly,’ or ‘her ponytail should be higher,’” session stylist on the rise Kim Rance remembers. “I think this could be a factor in why I didn’t particularly excel at school. Instead of revising for my GCSEs I was cutting the hair of all my classmates ready for the prom, restyling the geeky grunge boys.” As soon as she could, Kim swapped school for the salon, and joined Clipso in Watford, where she rose through the ranks to become junior art director. “I was at Clipso for 10 years, growing up there and reaching as far as I could go,” she says. “I ran a fully booked column of clients as well as organising shows, teaching and directing in-house competitions.”

54-61_Kim Rance2.indd 3
From there, Kim moved to Brooks & Brooks, where she again challenged herself, doing everything from wedding hair to social media. “Sally and Jamie Brooks gave me so much guidance. There was never a dull moment as I flew all over Europe, working with brands like Batiste and Diva Professional Styling.” But eventually there was so much going on that Kim made the decision to strike out on her own. “The confidence I gained at Brooks & Brooks really helped me, but there simply wasn’t enough time in my day anymore,” she explains. “For the past two years I was working seven days a week just to keep spinning all the plates. Something had to give; now I work in a salon with flexible hours and I can use my time to work in session.” Dedicating herself to shows meant that Kim needed a good support network. “I sent out CVs and portfolios to most London agencies and Premier Hair & Make-up responded. “It has really helped me grow and I’ve learnt so much assisting

and it was a complete change from the European cities.” And magazines have come knocking, too – Kim has editorials for Dazed and Wonderland under her belt already. “Getting asked to style the hair for the front cover of Wonderland was exciting anyway and then I found out the star was Matty Healy from The 1975! He was totally up for pushing his look, and he has the best hair to work with – it’s thick and super curly. We mixed up the shots between his voluminous curls and a hacked mullet.” This shoot was the gateway into an area Kim had always been passionate about – music videos. “After the shoot, we got asked to work on the video for The 1975’s song The Sound, and then Change of Heart. Growing up I used to watch all of my favourite bands on MTV’s Making the Video, I found it so inspiring to see the directors, storyboards and the set designs. All the time I was working on The 1975’s videos I had butterflies in my stomach,” Kim admits. “My teenage dream is finally coming true.”

Sam McKnight at fashion week. I can feel myself developing with every job. It makes me incredibly happy.” But even working for Sam McKnight backstage at Chanel, Fendi and Max Mara could not quench Kim’s thirst for inspiration. “When I’m abroad, I like to seek out hair shops and salons to find different tools and see different techniques,” she says. “In Marrakech, I found myself in a souk barbers, studying their methods and products. I love to travel whether it’s for work or pleasure and through this I find my eyes widening to all the new things around me.” Her unique eye for detail won her the title of It List It Girl in the 2015 awards – but she didn’t have much time to celebrate. “The day after winning I was on the plane to NYC for the first ever time for Fashion Week,” Kim explains. “I have worked backstage at London, Milan and Paris for years but never made it over to the US, and it was incredible! I got to assist so many fantastic stylists I had admired since my teens

ACHIEVE perfection Introducing the Salon Elite and Blow-Styling Smoothing Tool by Tangle Teezer – the only two brushes you’ll ever need
PREPARE AND PERFECT – the basis of every good hairstyle, but it can’t be achieved without the right brushes, which is why Tangle Teezer created two revolutionary brushes. First prepare by detangling hair using Tangle Teezer Salon Elite, then perfect and blow-dry with the Tangle Teezer Blow-Styling Smoothing Tool. The Tangle Teezer Salon Elite is a detangling demon, featuring the brand’s iconic, ergonomic shape that fits right into the hand. So what else makes it so good?
●
Memory flex teeth make detangling pain free and easy – no pulling, tugging or knots.
●
WITH THE PREPARATION complete, it’s at the blow-dry where the magic really happens. With the BlowStyling Smoothing Tool, Tangle Teezer has once again revolutionised how stylists and clients style hair. Available in full and half sizes for different hair lengths, you don’t need to use straighteners and there’s no need to rough dry – just use on towel-dried hair. Brush features include: Fixed-base teeth to extract surface water for a blow-dry in half the time.
●
Two-tier teeth help remove tangles and knots gently and less breakage means hair is healthier.
●
Just the right amount of hold created by tension built into the teeth. This means the hair is not stretched or pulled when drying but glides through the teeth easily. Separate cleaning grooves to allow for easy removal of any loose hair on the brush.
● ●
The shorter teeth help to leave hair glossy and shiny.

STRAIGHTENERS, CURLERS AND BRUSHES, OH MY! CLIENTSʼ DEMANDS CAN MAKE THE BEST OF US WEEP. BUT KEEP YOUR COOL – WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY
I R ONS
THE CLOUD NINE Limited Edition White Touch comes with all the bells and whistles: two temperature settings at 165°C and 195°C; mineral-coated ceramic plates that helps lock in moisture and seal the hair cuticle; automatic switch-off if left inactive for more than five seconds; a heat-resistant bag… but what we love most about this straightener is its ‘touch’ ability. By touching the plates together the straighteners will reach their maximum heat in 20 seconds. To go down to 165°C, you touch the plates together twice. And to switch the temperature back and forth, you press the ceramic plates together three times and wait for the beep to confirm the change. This is one bit of touch technology we can get on board with!
RRP £99 – £10 of each sale goes to the Great Ormond Street Hospital Childrenʼs Charity

The Diamante straightener from Maximiliano Centini is engineered in Italy by global Italian manufacture UKI, part of the Maletti Group.

Available in two sizes and with an adjustable temperature setting, styling can be perfectly tailored for each client.
RRP FROM £140
Label.m is a backstage favourite, which is why the brand’s Titanium Pro-50 can be found at shows and shoots around the world. Its versatility means you can create everything from sleek styles to ringlets, while the fast-heating titanium plates enable quick results under time pressure using fewer strokes.

They can’t be easily replicated and they remain singularly standout successes as much for their technical prowess and abilities as for their impact on the hair industry. The O from Cloud Nine was one such innovator, while the BaByliss PRO Perfect Curl was another.

Exotica is a fantastical journey into uncharted territory – the hallmark of the collaborative force generated between Johanna Cree Brown and Roger Spy. Shot entirely on an iPhone, it explores a tropical beach on an alien planet where an iridescent mermaid appears in a soft pink haze.

I then met Tom Gallagher, the cutting education director, and he shared with me his passion for razor cutting. He demonstrated on a model for me, and then I got the chance to have a play, too. It was like he was showing me the inside of his mind – I loved it, it was so inspiring!
