INDUSTRY NEWS Sexy Hair’s Debut Conference Sexy Hair hosted its first UK conference last month featuring guest speakers and a catwalk show by the Sexy Hair creative team.

International stylist Gianni Scumaci shared his career journey from working with Sassoon to styling horse manes for editorial fashion shoots and becoming the go-to stylist for photographer David Bailey.

Errol Douglas created a series of looks to bring the Sexy Hair brand to life and the Sexy Hair creative team presented their skills on stage with a variety of hair looks.

The brand announced its new photographic competition, which gives one lucky winner the chance to have a collection photographed

by Barry Jeffrey. The brand is also launching the Sexy Hair Advocate Programme, where a salon representative will be nominated to attend industry events to inspire and motivate them.

Fudge Names New Global Ambassador Fudge Professional has named Jonathan Andrew as its new global ambassador. He has styled shoots for Vogue, worked with Rankin and styled multiple music video campaigns.

Emma Bate senior brand manager at Fudge Professional said: “We’re beyond excited to be working with Jonathan – his creativity and charisma are unparalleled within the industry’s younger generation of hairdressers and represent everything Fudge stands for. He has amassed a huge amount of experience in his career so far and we’re incredibly

excited to use his knowhow and credibility across the brand from product innovation to campaign direction and education.”

Jonathan added: “It is such a fun and exciting brand with a truly creative and passionate team and one that I’m so excited to be joining. This is a huge achievement for me in my career and I’m overwhelmed by the commitment and support that Fudge have shown me. The brand has so many values close to my heart and I can’t wait to start working on the new campaigns, products and education developments!”

The New Colour Masters Headmasters has two new members on its colour ambassador team – Gareth Williams as the creative ambassador and colour lead and Alfie Pfeffer as the new creative colour ambassador. The brand has also revealed that creative director Andrew Barton will be the new franchise owner of the Headmasters flagship salon in Mayfair.

Andrew is delighted with the two new appointments. He said: “We care passionately about the development of our teams with education at the heart of all we do. I’m thrilled Gareth and Alfie will be at the forefront of colour creating techniques and driving our reputation as the go-to hair colour experts.” On his role as franchise salon owner he said: “This will be the perfect synergy between my position in the business and leading the flagship salon.”

Women’s Pregnancy Rights T

he Government has announced plans to give women in the workplace more protection from redundancy after maternity leave. The additional protection would continue for up to six months after they return to work.

Hilary Hall, NHF chief executive said: “We know many hair and beauty salons are struggling to recruit qualified and experienced staff. Most will welcome employees returning from maternity leave with open arms and will do everything they can to keep new mothers on the team. It’s more of a struggle for self-employed stylists or therapists who often return to work early due to financial pressures.”

According to research by the Department for Business,

Energy and Industrial Strategy, 54,000 women each year lose their job due to pregnancy or maternity leave. The research suggested that one in nine women have been fired or made redundant after returning to work following childbirth or they were treated so badly they felt forced out of their job.

Under UK law, women are entitled to up to 52 weeks of maternity leave, 39 weeks of which are paid.

Self-employed women, however, don’t receive statutory maternity pay. Self-employed women can claim a maternity allowance of up to £145.18, but research has shown the average self-employed mother takes 23 weeks off work as maternity leave, instead of the full 39 weeks.

An Uber App for Hair The new Hairstee app is described as an Uber for hair because it allows clients to use geo-tagging to monitor available hair professionals in the local area in real-time. Plus, hair professionals can reduce or increase the price of their haircuts based on demand to make their target and manage their time efficiently.

The app is the brainchild of Yemi Busari. He said: “Freelancers and professionals can sign up so you can try it if you have a space to fill in the salon or you are seeking further freelance work.”

He added that all professionals using the app have been vetted beforehand.

Keith Conniford, Registrar and CEO of the Hair and Barber Council believes it’s essential to ensure standards remain the same regardless of whether a client has booked through an app or directly with a salon. He told HJ exclusively: “The professionalism of everything we do comes back to giving the customer the highest level of service and skill, no matter in what type of environment.”

The collection will be featured exclusively in HJ ’s April issue so watch this space.

REDKEN READY The bi-annual Redken Symposium brought together thousands of Redken salons, educators and hairdressers from around the world

T

he three-day Redken Symposium 2019 was held in Las Vegas at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. The event was filled with creative shows, business seminars and talks from high profile names.

Here are the key trends and mantras to consider for 2019…

“Learn better, earn better, live best” Sheri Doss, Redken vice president education worldwide, welcomed the global audience during the grand opening show. Highlighting Redken’s 5th Avenue, New York roots, the show was separated into sections with different New York women and their alter egos. Standout hair looks included colourful Gatsby-inspired bobs at a 1920s speakeasy bar, dreadlocks at a punk fire show and urban-inspired styles at a rap battle that incorporated Redken’s mantra – ‘learn better, earn better, live best’.

“Use catwalk colour trends to start conversations in the salon” Josh Wood, Redken global colour creative director, talked in-depth about the stunning Marc Jacobs SS19 show which saw him colour the hair of 37 models.

He matched the hues perfectly to each of their outfits. Josh was keen to stress that attendees could translate catwalk trends to the salon environment. “Hair colour trends from the catwalk start discussions in the salon,” he explained.

“It opens the door to being able to have a conversation with your bread and butter clients. It moves colour 12 / hji.co.uk

from an afterthought and gives it more of a fashion-forward focus. We can sell clients a colour they may not have considered before.”

“Whisper, talk and shout – know your colour categories” In the New Do: New Hue seminar, colour transformation was brought to life in an accessible way. Redken artists Celene Dupuis, Sarah Bramham and Enrico Compierchio, identified and demonstrated the three types of colour client – foundational, luxury lifestyle and creative colour.

The trio explained the colour that

HJ REPORTS HJ MEETS COLOURIST TRACEY CUNNINGHAM Khloe Kardashian’s go-to colourist shares her favourite looks and who she’d love to work with...

Is there a celebrity’s hair you’d love to work with?

Donald Trump. His hair is such a weird colour and so many people talk about it.

When did you decide to become a hairdresser?

I always wanted to be a hairdresser. To be honest I thought hairdressers could make up their own schedule but my life is the complete opposite of that. I never dreamed of my career turning out like it has.

What’s your favourite Khloe Kardashian look?

I love Khloe Kardashian’s platinum look – I don’t think she would ever go back to brown now.

What challenges do you face when colouring celebrity hair?

I’m so busy that I’m not able to accommodate everyone, which is hard. I still have regular clients and I feel bad if I can’t fit them in.

would suit each of the clients and how they would fall into ‘whisper, talk and shout’ categories respectively.

Attendees were shown six women who had been given a makeover by the Redken artists and they displayed how colour can be transformational.

“Not everything is about Instagram, it’s about word of mouth recommendations too.”

Colourist Tracey Cunningham provided the audience with some memorable quotes as she demonstrated balayage on stage. She said: “Hair colourists are fighting red, not crime.” As well as keeping the audience entertained with her wisdom she told attendees to treat their clients like VIPs. “Why not give them a couple of face-framing highlights for free. Not everything is about Instagram – it’s about word of mouth recommendations too.”

“Focus on what the camera sees to avoid overwhelming yourself” The premise of the Hot off the Press seminar was to show that producing gorgeous editorial images is achievable and functional. Redken artists, Philip Barwick, Lindsey Olson and Jorge Joao, showed that images can and should be used for salon marketing and social media content. The team brought their editorial images to life on stage with models and explained that although hairdressers are normally focused on styling for their clients in a 3D world, marketing images and hair competition images are 2D. This means you only need to work on what will be seen by the camera and the team showed the back of the model’s head, which was covered in bobby pins. The team also gave a genius tip – instead of applying hairspray on top of the hair, apply from underneath to reduce flash.

13 / hji.co.uk

How has Instagram changed the colour industry?

Clients are more trend-smart.

Instagram is a tricky one – people use filters and they buy followers. At the beginning of my career I didn’t have Instagram. My career was built on word-of-mouth recommendations. I was talked into going on Instagram but now I love it.

DAMAGE CONTROL

WITH JOICO HJ spent the weekend in Berlin to discover Joico’s exciting new Defy Damage range

J

oico hopes to shake up the industry with its latest innovation – Defy Damage.

HJ was invited to the German capital to learn more about the range.

The slogan for the new campaign is ‘See it. Feel it. Believe it’ and this was a recurring theme across the weekend.

The event began with a decadent dinner hosted by Joico’s EMEA general manager Eric Kater. The following day, HJ was invited to Max Höhn’s salon for the unveiling of the new range. Max is the hairstylist to the German celebrity circuit as well as a Joico Europe brand ambassador.

Max was chosen to present the new range as his celebrity and influencer clientele are constantly changing their hair, which means he is an

expert at reviving locks that have been subject to damage.

Gaby Abel, Joico Europe’s director of marketing, explained the range consists of a salon-only two-step programme and a routine for clients to follow at home. The ethos of Defy Damage is that prevention is better than cure. Therefore the product works to protect hair from heat styling, chemicals and the effects of pollution.

A VR experience Each attendee was transported from the salon in Berlin to Joico brand ambassador Larisa Love’s Los Angeles salon thanks to a pair of high-tech VR goggles. The attendees watched how the products can transform a client’s hair and Joico’s international 16 / hji.co.uk

guest artistic director, Richard Mannah, explained each step of the process. The VR experience included travelling to a rainforest, desert and the depths of a dark forest to demonstrate how the different weather conditions can affect the hair. It finished back at Larisa’s salon with her client showing off her fabulously glossy mane.

Finally, Richard applied hair colour and the entire new range on two models to showcase the healthy and glossy results the Defy Damage range promises to deliver.

HJ REPORTS

“Since we’ve started using the range in the salon the feedback has been phenomenal!”

Richard Mannah maintain over 90% colour vibrancy.

Pro Series 1 and 2 are exclusively for salon use. The range also includes a shampoo, conditioner, mask and thermal shield that clients can purchase to continue their Joico hair journey at home.

The range features new technology that Joico has coined ‘Smart Release.’

It contains a hard-working trio of keratin quadramine complex,

arginine and rosehip oil which sit together in a liposome – a small molecular ball with a water-based centre. A clever water-repellent outer layer keeps the ingredients inside to ensure they stay intact until needed.

Richard revealed that he got his hands on the range at a secret launch in Los Angeles last June. “Since we’ve started using the range in the salon the feedback has been phenomenal,” he told attendees during the press briefing in the salon.

He was sceptical at first: “I questioned Joico about the claims because they seemed too good to be true,” he revealed. “However I was told the brand stands behind all of its claims. In fact, I was told the claims are very conservative compared to what this product can deliver.”

5 Ways to Prepare for Brexit in Your Salon Salon consultant Ryan Fox shares his five tips for weathering the storm and moving your business forwards regardless of the outcome on Friday 29 March

The Brexit issue has knocked consumer confidence which is having an effect on client spending.

What they seek from you is reassurance that you are still their hair expert and they are in safe hands. Double your efforts to create the right look, give great advice and provide your clients with a consistently excellent service.

Your clients might have tightened their budgets but they will still be prepared to pay for a professional cut and colour if they love your in-salon experience and the end result.

to make key 2 Continue business decisions

Brexit has also affected business confidence so investment decisions are being put on hold, which is understandable. However, indecision stops a business from moving forward so strip things back to basics and focus on the fundamentals. Ask yourself in a worst-case scenario, what do you

need to keep on trading? Don’t cut back on the essentials that you need to deliver your service and keep making day-to-day decisions to keep your salon running, otherwise you won’t run at all.

3 Keep a stock take

Stock should be high on your essential business decisions list. If you don’t have the right colours and products in stock, you can’t deliver the level of service that your clients expect. Do a formal stock take and order double what you normally stock in case some items are held up at customs in April.

4 Take back control

You can’t control everything so try not to get bogged down in the frustrations of the uncertainty and focus on the positive actions you can make such as continuing to make your clients look and feel great. Many stylists don’t talk enough about hair to clients so it’s a great time to take control of the 20 / hji.co.uk

conversation and keep topics about hair as opposed to Brexit!

a dedicated 5 Maintain and focused team

Plan for the worst and work to your best. Calculate your stripped back financial breakeven point so you have a plan B survival position should you need it. This will give you a comfort factor which will help to boost confidence. Set your teams goals in one-to-ones and hold a goal-setting team meeting. You might be surprised about what you can achieve this year with a focused and dedicated team.

BUSINESS

Are you Ready to Expand your Salon Business?

The co-director of Spirit Hair Co Mikaela Martin shares her advice on growing from one salon to two while keeping your brand’s values

everything runs like clockwork.

We invest in regular training for our managers and front of house teams to ensure they have all the skills and up-to-date knowledge they need.

Measuring performance Staff performance across all three salons is monitored via one-to-one meetings, covering how time has been used, performance levels, client footfall and retention, and retail sales. We also use these meetings to offer advice and support if a team member needs help to grow in a certain area.

Developing skills Ongoing training for all of your team members is also essential for consistency across your new group.

Each quarter we close the salons to carry out customer training. We tailor each session to ‘the now’. We look at how people are spending their money, understanding clients’ needs, the importance of a consultation, retail and overcoming online competition, and generally how we can make Spirit Hair Co stand out from the crowd and become the go-to salon brand.

Look before you leap

T

he Spirit Hair Co has three successful salons – two in Buckinghamshire and one in Oxfordshire. Mikaela Martin helps you discover how to overcome the challenges and enjoy the rewards of growing your business this year.

The key questions Once you’ve decided to open a new salon, you need to make sure the location will provide a strong foundation for growth. The questions we asked ourselves when we decided to open another salon included: • Is our brand presence strong enough to open a second salon?

• Is our salon trading at capacity?

• Have we got a strong team?

• Do we have all our policies in place?

• Have we got the necessary funds?

• Do we have a solid marketing plan?

Creating consistency Ensuring your brand ethos is clear to everyone employed at the company is essential. We decided to develop a company handbook outlining all of our company’s brand values and the standards expected from all team members. I’d recommend updating the book every six months.

Keeping everyone informed is also vital as a brand grows. We have

WhatsApp groups set up for each salon with day-to-day updates, which can include details of training days, new products, new team members starting and any absence through sickness. This is a great way of ensuring everyone is aware of what is going on and ensuring the smooth running of our salons.

We have a team social Facebook page which we use for highlighting any group events, such as charity days. This page also allows team members to share ideas they’ve seen elsewhere on social media.

People power Having key team members in place across your new group is a must. We have an office manager, Samantha, who makes everything happen. She collates all of the performance figures for our one-to-one meetings with team members. She issues health and safety updates and pays all our bills, while looking into ways the group can save money on all those background costs like utilities and business rates.

We also have assistant managers who look after the wellbeing of the team, oversee our brand values and standards and provide updates on any issues. They each work closely with their front of house teams to ensure 22 / hji.co.uk

My final piece of advice if you are looking to expand from one salon to two or more would be to consider whether you have used all the time and space in your existing salon.

Could you create more styling stations or extend your opening hours, rather than opening a second salon and doubling your overheads?

Mikaela’s tips for growing your single salon into a chain • Make sure your existing salon is trading at full capacity before making the jump to two.

• Ensure you have strong managers in place at each establishment.

• Monitor your team member’s performance and offer regular support.

• Invest in ongoing training to motivate and develop your team and delight your clients.

• Have your brand values and standards clearly outlined and updated in a company handbook.

• Employ someone to look after the background work so you can focus on developing your team.

• Encourage interaction between salon teams through social media and training days.

Seek natural growth, harvest calm.

BUSINESS PANEL

How is the reduced footfall on the UK high street affecting your business?

This year’s winners of HJ’s British Hairdressing Business Awards discuss the steps they are taking to combat the downturn of the high street in their local area

Name: Carla Rinaldi Salon: Not Another Salon Award: Manager of the Year “Our clients use social platforms, which means we don’t rely on walk-ins. We attract our clientele from social media and we’ve found it to be the golden business tool for this era. Skin testing means walk-ins for colour are not possible so we should see this change as a positive. If we use Instagram as our ‘shop window’ we will avoid having to turn people away at the door.”

Carla’s steps to success: ∞ We ensure all social platforms

send out a strong message about who we are as a company. We’ve also launched a media brand to help other salons with social marketing. ∞ I provide constant coaching to motivate my team and ensure they are producing content for our social accounts. In fact, contributing to our social media channels is now written into our team’s contracts. ∞ We also have regular meetings about the importance of social marketing in the salon.

Name: Ian Hendry Salon: Maxwells Professional Hairdressing Award: Salon Team of the Year

Name: Lisa Walby Salon: Francesco Group, Cheltenham Award: Franchisee of the Year

“Our salon has been hidden away down a small side street from the main market square in Biggleswade for over 28 years but we continue to grow every year. My advice is to forget what’s happening on the high street and concentrate on what’s happening in your salon. If you and your team are focused on delivering high standards and your clients love what you do they will return to you.”

“The drop in footfall and high parking costs has had an impact on client visits. We are focusing on developing our team’s communication skills. We want to find out what each individual client wants and needs and we are tailor-making services for them.

We are also looking at our opening hours to see what’s more convenient to them, such as later nights when parking charges don’t apply or when child care is easier.”

Ian’s steps to success: ∞ Train your team on client retention

and rebooking. Make it one of their key performance indicators and offer rewards for high performers. ∞ Use marketing to persuade existing clients to spend more, visit more and recommend more. ∞ We spent £4,000 on a high-quality mail drop to expensive postcodes in our area. This means cash-rich potential clients can browse through our services as opposed to swiping past us on a 24-hour Instagram story.

25 / hji.co.uk

Lisa’s steps to success: ∞ Identify all individual needs and

create affordable packages to meet your client’s wishes. ∞ Focus on your team’s personal relationship building skills to help with client retention and re-bookings. ∞ Employ a personal customer relationship manager whose sole responsibility is to contact clients after each visit to ensure the result met all expectations.

BRITISH HAIRDRESSING BUSINESS AWARDS 2019 Name: Natalie Love Salon: Edward James London Award: Salon of the Year 1

Name: Salv Mulé Salon: Academy Salons, Cobham Award: Retail Salon of the Year

Name: Phil Smith Salon: Smith England Award: Salon of the Year 2

“Our clients research our brand online so our digital presence acts like our shop window.

We’ve invested heavily in our online strategy, which is focused on client engagement. We’ve noticed clients combine hair visits with catch-ups with friends and family so they come to the high street for a service experience rather than retail therapy.”

“We’ve seen a drop in walk-in trade thanks to a depressing high street and expensive parking, which is also reflected in our retail sales. We’ve focused on rebooking all of our clients before they leave with a £10 off incentive. We’ve also increased retail recommendations by stressing our credentials as hair experts. We offer quarterly promotions to outclass the online shopping competition too.”

“Our salon was badly affected by the Novichok attacks in Salisbury in 2018. There was a strong feeling of uneasiness with the town feeling quieter than usual. It is starting to pick up slowly but footfall is still low.”

Natalie’s steps to success: ∞ We make our social media specific

to what we do and who we are and also to show off our locations. ∞ Clients come to the salon for an experience that allows them to escape from their hectic lives. ∞ We build elements into our service that will remind clients of us when they get home such as home-advice guidelines and professional products.

Name: Mila Timberlake and Natalia Irvine Salon: Rainbow Room International, Uddingston Award: Front of House Team of the Year “Luckily for our industry, clients can’t get their hair cut online. Due to the nature of our business and our location, lower footfall hasn’t had a major impact.

We are aware of the move towards e-commerce and we’re working towards raising our online profile to promote our business and attract new clients.”

Mila and Natalia’s steps to success: ∞ We take part in awards and events

to raise our salon’s profile. ∞ We continuously increase our presence on social media using Instagram to exhibit our work and inspire more visits. ∞ We have a ‘Share the Secret’ referral programme to spread our good work through word of mouth.

Phil’s steps to success: ∞ We advised the council to stop all

glossy magazine as it’s essential to get the word out to your target market. ∞ We give existing clients 50% off their next appointment when they recommend a friend. ∞ Our loyalty scheme means a client who pays £2,000 receives 20% off all services and products for a year.

parking fees, which has helped to increase footfall. ∞ We’re working on a proposal to lower business rates to support small local businesses rather than suffer from low footfall caused by fear. ∞ Each week a team member or client nominates someone who’s given them great service and we reward them with a salon visit. Thinking of our business outside of the salon reminds the team to build local awareness.

Name: Christian Wiles Salon: Christian Wiles Hairdressing Award: Male Grooming Salon of the Year

Name: Janet Maitland Salon: Janet Maitland Hair Excellence Award: Business Director of the Year

“Our guests still enjoy affordable luxuries. They want to feel pampered in a luxurious setting and well educated on how to care for their hair. Low maintenance colour, such as balayage, is popular so we spend time educating clients on how to keep their hair looking fabulous between visits with toners and colour boosting services.”

“Drastic Government and council action is needed for the high street to recover.

We are not on the high street so we have free on-street parking and we own the properties so we are not at the mercy of landlords.

Our locations have houses nearby, which gives us a regular clientele. The money saved on leases is re-invested into our salons and staff, which pays huge dividends in client satisfaction, staff loyalty and repeat business.”

Salv’s steps to success: ∞ We advertise the salon in the local

Christian’s steps to success: ∞ We have an online and offline

colour education campaign for clients, which increases retail sales. ∞ We attract new guests in the salon with our bespoke digital and localised marketing campaigns. ∞ We focus on educating and developing our team to the highest level to remain leaders in our field.

26 / hji.co.uk

Janet’s steps to success: ∞ We make sure the salon looks

immaculate inside and out. ∞ We offer our clients excellent refreshments, luxury magazines and realistic service pricing. ∞ We provide excellent trained staff who put the client first and feel part of our salon’s success story.

Return of the Ex Should you consider employing an ex-member of staff? Karen Bell co-founder of Vincent Bell Hairdressing considers the pros and cons for you and your salon team

A

s an employer, when someone leaves, it can hit you hard. In an industry that is people-focused it’s easy to take it personally. You can’t keep an employee forever and at some point they will want to try something new. If they realise the grass isn’t always greener, should you ever take them back?

The pros and cons There are a number of pros and cons to re-employment, and in some situations, it might not work but in today’s increasingly difficult recruitment climate we shouldn’t automatically dismiss it. In fact as a business, this is a decision we’ve recently considered. With any previous employee you know their flaws but you also know their assets.

You know what makes them tick, what motivates them and hopefully you should have learned how to guide them to get the most from them.

Unless there was a crime such as fraud or theft committed, I would argue that it is better the devil you know. The previous employee has

been trained to your standard, knows the team and understands your brand.

With some clear guidelines, strong management and structured training initiatives in place there is no reason why your former employee shouldn’t return and thrive within the salon environment.

The alternative When recruitment is hard and there is a shortage of new talent coming through, it makes sense to consider employing previous members of staff.

The alternative could be to spend your resources trying to inspire those that don’t want to be trained. Equally, you could recruit a stranger who doesn’t understand your brand or your quality of hairdressing, only for them to leave once you’ve invested time and money in them.

The saying goes that everyone deserves a second chance and while I acknowledge that, I do appreciate there are reasons why some employees shouldn’t come back to your business. For example, if there’s a personality clash, if both parties feel like it’s a step backwards or if they 27 / hji.co.uk

were never that good to start with.

In today’s society when good hairdressers are hard to find, why should you let pride and emotion stand in the way of a positive opportunity for your business? Some might say, ‘once a leaver, always a leaver’ but is that necessarily a bad trait? If we approached our team, expecting that one day they will leave to trial whether the grass is greener elsewhere, we wouldn’t be so reluctant to invite them back, knowing they have learned from their experience.

Vincent Bell Hairdressing recently made the decision to re-employ someone who left. We weighed up the pros and cons and in the end, it was a no-brainer. We knew the team enjoyed working with this person and that our clients missed them so from a business viewpoint it made sense to take that risk. Yes, they might leave again, but everyone leaves at some point so as an industry we need to learn not to take it personally.

Karen Bell Is the co-founder of Vincent Bell Hairdressing in Edinburgh with her husband Vincent Bell.

The salon was established 20 years ago and is known for its customer service, celebrity clientele and its exclusive training academy, which opened in 2006.

WELLA HACKS: GET CREATIVE WITH COLOUR

WELLA PROFESSIONALS

WELLA PROFESSIONALS

Wella Professionals technical educator Jade Harrison shares ways to experiment with colour and increase revenue using Koleston Perfect with ME+

1

Be more adventurous Trust is a huge factor when it comes to clients being more adventurous with colour. Take time to build trust by having a deep understanding of the client you are working with. You can do this by building mood boards together on apps such as Pinterest. Taking five minutes out to do this will really help to identify what vibe your client is looking to achieve. Once that trust is established, clients will be relying on you to come up with new looks for their hair.

How can Koleston Perfect with ME+ help?

2

Design bespoke shades Our industry is tougher than ever as salons are not only in competition with each other, but they are also in competition with social media. This means there should be a huge emphasis on client loyalty. Clients love to feel like their service is completely unique to them. Create a personalised section pattern or colour formula and tell your client all about it. The best thing about creativity is that it’s not easy to replicate.

3

Generate extra revenue Creative colour requires skill.

It’s something that we would always encourage a colourist to charge more

for in order to generate more revenue.

However, creative colouring isn’t always everyone’s bag. If you want to offer this to your client but aren’t sure where to start, be guided by the haircut. Something as simple as adding a shadow under a fine section of hair can make an area look fuller. Alternatively, you could lighten the hair to elongate and add length to short areas. These are simple ways to add a more creative spin to a colouring service which in turn, can generate more income for you and your salon business.

“Creative colouring can be a challenge, especially with long hair as there are many considerations that need to be made. Wella Professionals latest innovation – Koleston Perfect with ME+ has made colouring simple.

With the support of Pure Balance Technology, it allows us to create even and predictable colour results from root to tip. Not only does it mean we don’t have to compensate for those porous mid lengths and ends that interfere with our creative flow, Pure Balance Technology also supports the number one concern for clients – the condition of their hair. The Koleston Perfect ME+ range has a unique selection of special mixes to enhance and personalise your in-salon colour looks and creativity.”

APPRENTICE WEEK

What Advice Would You Give to Your Junior Self?

To celebrate National Apprentice Week on 4-8 March, HJ quizzed the industry on the advice they wish they’d known when they first started out

Now “Learn as much as you can from those more informed than you, but don’t be frozen by it.

Listen to your instincts and don’t be afraid to challenge your superiors if you believe in what you are doing. Work for the enjoyment of the process and don’t get caught up in thinking about outcomes or achievements.

No achievement will truly matter if the work hasn’t come from the right place.

Above all else, stop wearing that leather biker jacket.”

Now

Tom Connell, Trevor Sorbie artistic director

Then

“Be clear on who you want to be and what you want to achieve. I started at 13 years old and knew that I wanted to learn everything I could – I was like a sponge soaking it all up. I wasn’t bothered by how many hours I needed to work each week to get the knowledge I needed. Get involved in any competition work you can – it’s great experience and helps to improve confidence.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions as it’s all part of the learning process.”

Alan Simpson, Contemporary Salons group managing director

Then

James Earnshaw

Now Then

“I’d tell my junior self not to be scared to try everything as everyone has to start somewhere. It’s an incredible industry for sharing knowledge and the training on offer is phenomenal. My advice would be to take every course available and network as you’ll make amazing friends as well as building a business you absolutely love.”

Karine Jackson, Karine Jackson Hair & Beauty

“I would tell my younger self to pay less attention to what other people think. If you work hard and treat people with kindness you will go far. It’s important to keep your goals in mind and do your best to work towards them. Remember to have fun as I’ve been guilty of working too hard and not allowing myself any down time to hang out with friends. Balance is the key to success for both your career and your personal life.”

Jay Birmingham, Jay Birmingham Hair

“My advice to myself at 16 would be to enjoy all of my training. I really wanted to be qualified as a hairdresser as fast as I could because I was so hungry to be called a stylist. My advice would be to slow down, enjoy training at a slower speed and to learn cutting and colouring as this would have saved me a lot of colour training when I was 19. I would also tell my younger self to create work that I love for competitions and not what I think people want to see.

When you’re young and starting out you can lose yourself and get carried away.”

APPRENTICE WEEK

“Being young doesn’t mean you don’t know what you want to do.

I’ve always loved hairdressing and I come from a line of hairdressers. You have to make a name for yourself.

Believe in what you do, learn from those around you and do a proper apprenticeship as then you’ll be allowed to break the rules later on. If you’re creative, let this side develop and enjoy the process as much as the finished product. In this life, you’ll have more than one career but they will all be in hairdressing.”

Then

Gary Taylor, Edward & Co “Always be proud of who you are and love what you are doing.

Be true to yourself and persevere as this will take you to the top. I love cutting hair, however I also love teaching, nurturing and developing talent. I decided to concentrate my efforts into building a business that could deliver this. I’d tell my younger self determination and perseverance are necessary for success. Enjoy every day and always work with integrity.”

Jason Hogan, Josh Wood associate colourist

“I was fortunate to follow the path that I believed was right for me and ended up becoming a hairdresser. I was 19 when I started out and lots of people thought I would be too old. It’s important to follow your instinct and do what you feel is right. Don’t be afraid to experiment and try out new things as you may end up creating something brilliant.”

Now

“Focus, listen and be patient as you can’t run before you can walk. The classics take time to master and are the foundation of any inspirational hair images you see. Aim to be in the industry with longevity and skill, rather than as a ‘one hit wonder’. It’s an amazing career choice with endless opportunities but you have to put in lots of hard work first.”

Darren Ambrose, D&J Ambrose

Then

“Be patient because good things come to those who wait.

Don’t compare yourself to others as everyone has their own path. Show up early and be the last to leave because it doesn’t go unnoticed. You will make mistakes but don’t beat yourself up as you will learn from them. Be kind to everyone you meet as people talk in this industry and always make time for a glass of wine with a friend.”

Now

Phillip Bell, Ishoka artistic director

Then

“The creative process is tough but if you work hard and stay focused it will be amazing. Hard work, determination and focus will get you to where you want to be so believe in yourself.

Surround yourself with people who inspire you, support you and celebrate with you. Be a team player and be kind. That includes being kind to yourself. If you see it in your mind, you can create it. Wear gloves and use hand cream, otherwise you will have hands that are 10 years older than the rest of you. Go out more after work, laugh and dance. I dropped accountancy to be a hairdresser and it’s the best industry in the world. I’d tell myself to stop worrying and just do it. That would have saved me some sleepless nights.”

INTERVIEW

Exclusive:

The Journey to My Destination HJ speaks to British Hairdresser of the Year Sally Brooks about an industry documentary, which will be available on Amazon to promote hairdressing as a career for young people WHY DO YOU LOVE HAIR?

Can you tell us about your new documentary?

Across the industry we have a massive problem attracting assistants. Every single salon is struggling to fill these positions. It could be because of the way hairdressing is portrayed. I decided to make a three-minute YouTube clip to promote our industry which ended up being a one-hour film. There is no production company or film crew – it’s just me and Gabriel Maciuca. Gabriel is a barber and videographer and together we undertook this project. We hope this documentary will be taken into schools and colleges to allow everyone to see that we are a profession and there’s plenty of scope to build a lifelong career.

Some of the hairdressers featured in the documentary share what they love most about the hair industry “Interacting with guests every day and the people that you work alongside makes hairdressing really satisfying for me.”

Skyler Hanna, Skyler London

What inspired you to create it?

Sally Brooks produced the documentary with videographer Gabriel Maciuca

I could see this growing problem in our industry and it’s easy to wait for someone else to do something about it. As HJ’s British Hairdresser of the Year, sponsored

by Schwarzkopf Professional, I felt it was my responsibility to give something back to the industry.

thankful for everyone’s time, support and trust. Moving around the country with equipment, no film crew, no editing team or scriptwriters was a challenge on its own.

It was also difficult to chop down all of the amazing interviews that we filmed.

How can it be used to promote hairdressing to young people?

It’s essential for us to unite as hairdressers and promote apprenticeships at the same level as university, rather than viewing apprenticeships as for those who don’t succeed academically. We hope the industry will take this documentary and use it in their own towns to show what we have to offer.

What’s been the biggest challenge you’ve faced?

It’s one thing having an idea but it’s another thing making that idea come to life. The industry is full of amazing people that care about the industry and are prepared to give something back. I’m really

Can you tell us about the collection that goes alongside the documentary and is featured exclusively in HJ this month?

The end of the documentary is about promoting the next generation of hairdressers and that’s what the collection featured in this month’s issue is about.

Young hairdressers are the ones that will speak to the generation below them. It’s really important that we respect the style of work created by everyone who comes into our industry and we allow these young creatives to find their own platform.

It’s like we say in the documentary – the next generation will change the way that society looks at young hairdressers. We want young hairdressers to be treated with respect so they will feel proud to be part of our incredible profession.

Where to watch it?

It will be available on Amazon from 20 February as a one-hour documentary.

ate Bosworth, Sophie Turner and even small screen stars such as Stacey Dooley from Strictly Come Dancing, have all been on a red-venture in recent times and have done wonders for bringing both natural and dyed redheads into a new era. “Red hair used to be viewed as a bold colour choice and only worn by those who wanted to be seen and heard,” explains Kirsten Maine, director of Live True London. “This has shifted as people are realising that red hair brightens up facial features, offers a multi-dimensional look and with the right shade it can flatter most skin tones.” There has been a 100% increase in the search term ‘ginger balayage’, while ‘red balayage’ is also proving popular with 9,900 searches on average each month, according to Google Trends 2019. In response, there has been a spike in the number of colour houses bringing out red-centric launches and services.

Return of the red The new influx of red colour shades are broad, ranging from the brightest pillar-box red to a more muted rouge.

“Red can absolutely be a soft and subtle colour choice in the same way that blondes can be bold or bright, delicate or punchy,” Robert Eaton, Wella Professionals UK and Ireland technical director points out. Red hair is proving to be a hit on Instagram too. There were 14.6 million posts with #redhair at last count. “Bright shades and cinnamon tones have been popular on social media and there’s nothing more stunning than a redhead with glossy locks,” confirms Neil Barton, Goldwell UK guest artist.

Fail to Prepare Prepare to Fail Whether your client is a natural blonde, brunette or has Afro hair – there’s a lot to consider before giving your client red locks

clear of red shades. A bad red is very easy to spot and it’s a tricky colour to create at home, which is why an exquisite red is always engineered in a salon,” stresses Jason Hogan, celebrity and associate colourist at Josh Wood Colour.

From blonde to red Changing a client from blonde to red can be challenging. Always follow the fundamental rules of hair colour and don’t be tempted to rush. “It’s important to pre-pigment the hair to the correct desired undertone as this will help maintain the longevity of the colour,” explains Warren Boodaghians, TIGI European technical academy director. You could always play the long game and change a client’s hair over the course of several appointments.

“My recommendation is to begin softly and take a client on a journey starting with a soft copper blonde and transitioning into red over time,” he says.

60 / hji.co.uk

From brown to red Going from brunette to red can be more straightforward. Lisa Whiteman, Goldwell UK guest artist says: “When taking a natural brunette to a red shade it’s important to know your client’s underlying tone. Is it yellow, orange or red? You have to use a shade that is going to counteract or enhance the underlying tones of the hair.” For instance, if a client has underlying red tones and a stylist uses a very bright copper, the result could be too punchy. The roots should always be applied last and mid-lengths and ends applied first to avoid any unsightly ‘root glow’. “An additional red or copper Goldwell Elumen glaze applied after a redhead tint application will give the hair an amazing shine and finish,” adds Lisa.

Afro hair to red Red is now a viable option for those with Afro hair. Previously, lightening hair would run the risk of damage due to its porous and fragile nature.

Formulation advances led Gemma Amura, Celeb Luxury regional technical educator, to create a rich red on her Afro-haired client. She explains: “I pre-lightened her natural base 4 hair to a level 7 then applied Celeb Luxury Viral Colorditioner in Magenta and Red. My client took Colorditioner home and added colour herself before coming back for a lightener touch-up on her roots.”

GEMMA AMURA

Colour slow and steady When it comes to the colour application process the key is to create a blank canvas. Issie Churcher, colour director at Brooks & Brooks says: “The saying ‘fail to prepare, prepare to fail’ is an appropriate phrase to live by when you are colouring hair red. You need a good base so that a consistent flow of colour is achievable, either from root to tip or from a darker shadow at the roots that transitions to lighter ends.”

The race is on to keep reds coming into the salon. The technological advances of at-home products will make it tempting for clients to touch up their easy-to-fade colour at home.

“Glowing roots, dull brown ends, banding and monochromatic colour – these red danger zones make it easy to see why people used to steer

he integrity of your client’s hair is paramount.

Before you colour always ensure the hair is in the best possible condition. “I always try to do a month of treatments to give the hair strength and infuse it with moisture,” explains Carolyn Newman. An in-salon service such as TIGI Copyright Care SOS Extreme Recovery Treatment contains 100 times more keratin than a shampoo and conditioner combined. It improves the hair’s condition prior to colouring, it is simple to use, requires no mixing and it processes in just five minutes.

High Maintenance The salon appointment is just the start of a redhead’s journey because red hair always needs extra care

Y

our client’s hair looks fabulous when they leave the salon but you don’t want them to return in four to six weeks with a lacklustre mane that is past its best. “Red colour fades quickly (especially over blonde) and when a client leaves the salon they should be advised their colour is a journey and an investment,” explains Andrew Trott-Barn, creative director at Advanced Pro Salon. “Always endorse colour protecting shampoos, conditioners and boosters. If you’re going from brown to red, it’s more likely to have depth rather than vibrancy so recommend shine-inducing products too.”

Research and recommend the appropriate colour care products for clients to purchase and make sure your retail shelf is red-friendly. Why not think about selling them a colour-depositing conditioner so they can top up their hue at home? Make sure you tell your clients how to style and treat their new ruby locks too.

“Use styling tools with caution as these also have a massive impact on colour fade and always use a thermo heat protector,” warns Shelley Pengilly, milk_shake creative team member. If your client has coloured red hair, advise them to keep the temperature of hot tools under 175°C.

The improved formula of OSMO Colour Revive delivers results in three minutes – the Radiant Red shade is ideal to keep reds bright and vivid between colour appointments.

The next appointment To help colour last longer, book your client in for regular in-salon treatments. “The Fudge Professional Treatment Time Machine repairs breakage to the internal structure of the hair shaft and cuticle,” explains Tracy Hayes, global head of technical training at Fudge Professional. “The third step of the treatment is called Top Lock and this can be continued at home to give protection for 10 weeks.”

When one part of the red colour journey ends, another begins. “After the first colour process, advise

clients to book in for a refresh appointment within four to six weeks,” says Carolyn. This way they will see their colour at its best and lasting for longer. Your client will value your expertise and service and will understand why regular professional colour appointments and at-home products are essential for gorgeous red hair. This will also help to build loyalty. Once clients have found the perfect red shade they won’t want any other colourist to touch their hair. Plus, they won’t be tempted to touch it up at home.

Oh So Natural Make sure you are also looking after natural-born redheads in the salon

N

Colour enhancers There are lots of ways to tempt natural redheads with colour. For example, L’Oréal Professionnel is spreading the message that ‘balayage is not just for blondes’. The brand has launched four new INOA shades ranging from cool coppers to dark browns, all with an ammonia-free formula and patented oil delivery system technology. It’s wise to consider the extra services you can offer redhead clients on a regular basis. “In my experience natural redheads want to go lighter rather than darker so tempt them with blonde sunkissed highlights,” says Sharon Malcolm, owner of Sharon Malcolm Hairdressing. If they want to maintain their natural colour but it’s looking a little lacklustre offer a demi-permanent service. “You could give hair a pick-me-up with a demipermanent such as Joico Lumishine Liquid Demi-Permanent,” explains Dan Spiller, Joico colour ambassador for Europe, UK and Ireland. “It will boost tone, rehydrate hair and give radiance.”

There are also creative colour opportunities with natural redheads.

“Natural redheads tend to resign themselves to either lightening up or even going black,” says Patrick Marrow, Crazy Color brand ambassador and owner of HIVE MCR. “We like to add Crazy Color Pinkissimo on wet hair as a conditioner for about 10 minutes as it gives a beautiful rose gold finish.”

Regardless of whether your redhead is natural or not, this type of client is an exciting prospect for your salon.

Being ‘in the red’ has never looked so good.

In-Salon Step One – ProSeries 1 The Defy Damage ProSeries is an in-salon two-step treatment.

Step Three – Home Care System Clients can extend these professional results at home thanks to the Defy Damage Home Care System. It protects all hair types from the effects of heat styling and UV exposure and environmental pollution that can lead to dry and dull locks. It helps to protect and strengthen hair bonds for a healthy hair transformation that clients can see and feel from the comfort of their own home.

Step Two – ProSeries 2 The second step of the treatment is the ProSeries 2, which is a bond-strengthening colour treatment.

It works with any hair colour and lightener to replenish bonds and hydrate locks for stronger and healthier-looking hair.

What are the benefits of using Defy Damage?

ProSeries 1 and 2 In-Salon Treatment • Increased and more even lift • Bond renewal and strengthening • Even porosity for better colour deposit • Maintains over 90% of colour vibrancy • Start to finish bond protection • Immediate soft feel • Increased shine

INTERIORS STEPHAN’S TOP TIPS • Have a clear vision I trialled the multi-purpose concept in Italy first and knew exactly what worked and what didn’t.

• Use recycled materials My creative director Alessandro, my dad and I created everything from scratch using re-imagined materials and furniture.

• Have a contingency plan When I opened there were less plants than I wanted because money was short so my advice is to always have a back-up fund!

THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX Glitch is a dynamic, multi-purpose space that features a salon, music venue, art gallery, kitchen, plant shop and events area

FACT FILE Name: Glitch Address: Old Market Street, Bristol Owner: Stephan Vi Size: 120sqm Budget: £60K Staff: 10

W

ho would have thought the rise of the so-called ‘slasher’ generation, a breed of millennial who has more than one job such as a writer / DJ / filmmaker, would translate into a salon trend? Bristol’s Glitch is just that – a salon that has many roles. It serves up delicious Italian food, it offers clients the chance to purchase cacti and plants and it’s a cool venue where you can hear up-and-coming bands play, all while providing more ‘traditional’ salon services such as colour, styling and cuts.

Owner Stephan Vi based the idea on a creative hub he set up 17 years ago in Italy. He proved a hair salon with a tattoo parlour, music stage and art gallery would be popular and set about taking the idea from Florence to Bristol. “I think that in the next few years we will see more places like Glitch,” explains Stephan. “The market is changing. As a society we’re moving from one thing to the next so a place that combines more than one activity will become the norm.”

The salon in Bristol originally started out life as two separate premises – a comic book shop and a

stock room. “The shop was in a very bad condition when we arrived,” says Stephan. “I had to put in the new electric system from scratch, add in a new floor and knock down a wall so the two spaces flowed into one another.”

Designed by Stephan and Glitch’s creative director Alessandro Frank Franco, the interior was based on Scandinavian design that has an industrial edge. White walls, simple wood and lots of greenery has led to a space that treads the path between industrial and natural. Bare brick walls with rough marks have been made into a design feature. The concrete floor is smooth and almost elegant looking but it still retains its industrial roots. The reception area has a big desk which holds an iMac for the salon’s online booking system and vinyl decks where a DJ plays during the day. As live music is such an integral part of the salon, there is a permanent fully equipped stage, which hosts live bands and singers.

The waiting area continues Glitch’s unexpected theme as it doesn’t contain a typical chair or sofa.

An unusual table takes the prime position and houses a kitchen sink 87 / hji.co.uk

and a cactus. “It’s definitely a move on from the traditional salon waiting area with a sofa. We wanted it to feel more like a cafe,” adds Stephan.

The opportunities for Glitch’s guests are endless – from a changing art exhibition by local artists to Italian food prepared by in-house eatery Grano Kitchen, while being surrounded by a jungle of plants and organic hair products that can be purchased and taken home. Glitch shows that salons are no longer just about trims, toner and root touch-ups.

A brand that defies labels is certainly paving the way for a new breed of salon experience.

CAREERS

Lloyd Court

The Colour Director Lloyd applied for a job at seanhanna and moved to London to take it when he was only 16.

He now runs the colour education courses for Skyler London What was your route into the hair industry?

When I was 15 I was given a school project about pricing around the UK. I researched hairdressers in London and seanhanna popped up. I fell in love with everything about the company and emailed my CV while I was still in class. After my interview, I moved to London and started my apprenticeship at age 16 at the seanhanna Wimbledon salon. I was offered a place on the L’Oréal Colour Specialist degree course and was selected to be the youngest member of the seanhanna creative team when I was 18 months into my training.

Can you tell us about your role?

I am the colour director at Skyler London and along with my business partner Skyler Hanna, we ensure our team are well trained and knowledgeable on all things colour.

One of my main responsibilities is running our internal and external education courses.

I’m also a key member of our marketing team and help to support and build marketing strategies that increase brand awareness for Skyler London.

What are the pros and cons of your role?

I love my job as I get to educate, grow and build our amazing team. I’ve been able to work with L’Oréal Professionnel on some truly incredible projects. The only downside is I never get home in time

for Silent Witness on a Tuesday night!

What are your tips for building a name in the industry?

Find a mentor with the same aspirations and ideas as you. Social media has really helped to grow my career and Skyler London.

We’re always encouraging our guests to tag us in selfies. The beauty of Facebook and Instagram is you can reach a worldwide audience, which means you can learn from them too.

What challenges have you faced in your career so far?

One of the biggest challenges I’ve faced is being told I’m too young.

Being an educator means teaching people twice your age and this can be quite daunting. My biggest tip for building confidence is to believe in yourself and your ability and don’t be afraid to ask for help.

What’s your advice for someone who aspires to have a career like yours?

Find a salon that truly inspires you.

I’ve been incredibly lucky to find a company that cares about everyone who works for them. Skyler has really helped to mentor and support me to become the hairdresser I am today. Be prepared to work hard and don’t complain about the jobs that are handed to you. Being a great colourist is all about practice so you must be 89 / hji.co.uk

willing to learn from your mistakes.

When working on creative projects, you need to make sure you do your research and practice, practice and practice again!

What are your favourite accounts to follow on Instagram?

My favourite accounts to follow on Instagram are Angelo Seminara (@seminaraangelo), Robert Lobetta (@robertlobetta), Tracey Cunningham (@traceycunningham1), Infringe (@infringemagazine), Edoardo Paludo (@edoardopaludo) and Jean Baptiste Santens (@jeanbaptiste.santens).

What’s your styling philosophy?

Hair should always have an element of pretty. I think whatever style you are going for, it should make you feel good and should suit your client. I was taught that you shouldn’t be able to feel a good blow-dry on the scalp – I’ve taken this philosophy with me wherever I go.

What’s next for your career?

I’m studying for my trichologist degree at the moment. This has been something I’ve been considering for a while and I felt it was the next step for me in my hair career. I will also be entering HJ’s British Hairdressing Awards, sponsored by Schwarzkopf Professional this year and I hope to become a member of the Fellowship FAME Team.

INSPIRATION

Life Through a Lens

T Avant garde “Cutting is my passion but I’ve always enjoyed experimenting with hair-up.

This was made by twisting hair and tightly attaching it to the head. It’s difficult to describe the genre but you could say it’s ‘wearable’ avant garde.”

i z i n o K n Aki The creative director of HOB Salons and four times British Hairdresser of the Year winner, is best known for his cutting skills. Here are six of his most iconic images W Double act “This was all about sensuality, drama and style. The shoot was hard work and expensive as we had two models in every shot, which at the time had never been done effectively before.”

T Tribal style “This is one of my most brutal and tribal haircuts but every style has to be beautiful to somebody. It features one of my most trusting models – Elle. It was inspired by 1970s Sassoon with a modern twist and led to my fourth British Hairdresser of the Year win.”

X Integrity

SNatural movement

“I mused about the concept of truth and integrity in photographic work when I created this style. I decided to show the weft as opposed to pretending it was real hair. One of my all-time favourites, this collection led to my first British Hairdresser of the Year win.”

“Natural movement must always be explored – waves, frizz, dark roots, whatever it may be. Ask does it look good and does it make the model look beautiful.”

W Telling a story “I’m always looking for a story to inspire my collections. I feel like this could be a scene from an old movie where glamorous ladies get photographed in a small studio. A story helps the model to get into character and display the mutual vision of you and your photographer.”
