A DROP OF MAGIC @Pure Pigments is a breakthrough color innovation that opens up a whole new world of color opportunities. Add just a few drops of any one of the 6 direct dye additives to your usual Goldwell color to create long lasting, multidimensional, customized color effects with the most brilliant shine! The breakthrough HD3 Dye Technology in @Pure Pigments – a completely new generation of direct dye molecules inspired by high definition photographic dyes – was developed over 17 years in collaboration with the experts at FujiFilm.
The most remarkable part is that the HD3 dyes are able to absorb into different layers of the hair shaft, along with the oxidative hair color to create high definition, multidimensional color. The dyes don’t intermix like traditional direct dyes. Instead, they create gradient layers of multi-spectral colors that reflect different colors as the light hits it. Imagine color. Now Multiply it.
NEW COLOR SERVICES With @PurePigments you can create a new category of hair color services, with show-stopping effects that change and move with light.
Color MORPHING Color Morphing uses multiple tones of @ Pure Pigments to create iridescent, holographic effects.
Color BOOSTING Color Boosting results in vivid, colorsaturated shine by adding tone-on-tone colors to Goldwell Topchic, Colorance or Nectaya Formulations.
Color WASHING Color Washing creates beautiful pastel washes that range from subtle to intense color, and illuminate lighter tones with veils of soft color.
“With @Pure Pigments we take hair color services to the next level. We offer Goldwell colorists an infinite world of color creativity that will not only delight their clients but also elevate their color expertise and upgrade their salon’s color business”

elcome to our spring edition… and a new season. As the days get longer and the sun starts to make its presence known, it’s time to shake off the remnants of winter and embrace all this season has to offer: new fashions, new hair looks, and a new beauty regime. Colour is one of our big themes this issue and you’ll see it within the beautiful imagery of the represented local and international artists, within our ‘Colour Reveal’ feature, on the runways in ‘What’s Trending’, and in the creative work of both the Wella Trend Vision New Zealand finalists and Goldwell Color Zoom New Zealand winners, celebrated within these pages. Even the latest product offerings coming through have a strong colour focus: think styling products that are as much about colour protection and preservation as they are about styling, along with the multitude of vibrant hair tones being introduced to the market. Nails are all about super-brights this season, and the NZ Fashion Week crowd were noticeably favouring bolder style hues this year, rather than our infamous black-chic. It’s hard to say which of the many features this issue I found most inspiring. The interviews with award-winning hairstylists Danny Pato, Lenard Johnston, Uros Mikic and Richi Grisillo were a highlight, as was getting to know the talented members of the Rodney Wayne Artistic Team. Our international spa feature on Spa Metropole by Givenchy in Monte Carlo made me want to jump a plane immediately and immerse myself in their luxurious treatments, and I was equally excited about ghd’s newlylaunched platinum+ styler, which is revolutionary in so many ways. Maybe it’s the influence of my millennial workmates, dedicated to health and wellbeing in a way that my generation never was, but the wellness features this issue really resonated with me. From Annabelle Matson’s ‘How to Create a Positive Morning Routine’, through to Sharleen Singh’s day with Nadia Lim in the ‘Healthy Well-thy & Wise’ feature, I plan to take on-board many of their suggestions. ‘Decluttering’ by authors and wellness gurus, Lyndall Mitchell and Shannah Kennedy, was also a fave, offering some simple yet life-changing solutions to living a happier life. I’ve always been a fan of keeping things simple, so if everything’s feeling a bit chaotic, take some tips from this duo for a new lease on life this spring. Enjoy our new issue and the gorgeous season ahead.

Reigning Supreme Danny Pato won Hair Expo NZ Hairdresser of the Year 2018 for the third consecutive time in June. Here, the co-owner of D&M Hair Design shares his motivations, passions and creative influences
What was the inspiration behind your winning collection? The global political climate over the past couple of years. I wanted to create an antidote to it by mixing colours, textures and exuberance from diverse cultural references, embracing the joy of strong women with strong identities. @DANDMHAIRDESIGN
What was the other big highlight for you at Hair Expo this year? I was honoured to be given the opportunity to do the opening show for the Awards Night Gala, bringing my Mélange collection to life with the D&M team. What is D&M’s philosophy? While we set very high standards for the work we do, the entire team pours their energy into creating a welcoming and vibrant salon atmosphere. We welcome everyone without any judgement and treat people the way they deserve to be treated. What motivates you personally and professionally each day? I simply love what I do. I get to dress up, listen to music, spend time with incredible people, practise a craft and help people look and feel beautiful. What influences you creatively? I am influenced and inspired by design, style, beauty, art, nature, music, pop culture, politics, film and fashion. What is the most important quality you look for in someone wanting to join the D&M team? X-factor, passion and dedication. What are your must-have tools and products of the moment? At the moment I’m obsessed with Davines Love Curl Revitaliser for refreshing curls the day after, and Angelo Seminara’s Imprinter stencil tools. Who are your industry mentors? I really look up to those who lead the

way for us; from Paul Serville and Sharon Blain, through to Sassoon and Sorbie. I am inspired by creatives who create new things beautifully, like Angelo Seminara and Eugene Souleiman. I also get so much from the next generation and am inspired by their fearlessness. What would be your ultimate session styling job? Working with Rei Kawakubo on a Comme des Garçons show, or with Yohji Yamamoto. Favourite shades for spring/ summer? Platinum blonde, golden copper and sunkissed chocolate.

How did it feel to win Hair Expo NZ Hairdresser of the Year for the third time in a row? Even though it’s my third time, winning this year felt bigger for some reason. The international judges are industry leaders and icons. I feel honoured and humbled to be recognised by the people I look up to.

SCIENCE MEETS STYLE ghd introduces the world’s first smart styler that predicts your hair’s needs @GHDHAIR_ANZ

Hair | FOCUS
T
he most exciting development from ghd yet, the latest ghd platinum+ is the first styler in the world that responds instantly to hair type and the way you style. Developed by ghd scientists and engineers over 5 years, the ghd platinum+ features ground-breaking technology. Ultrazone predictive technology is a revolution in heat-styling, guaranteeing homogenous heat across the entire styler plate. The cutting-edge predictive technology recognises the thickness of your hair, the section size and the speed at which you are styling and adjusts the power accordingly. Infinity sensors monitor the heat 250 times per second to maintain the safer-for-hair temperature of 185°C. No matter your hair type or styling technique, ghd platinum+ ensures you always receive the perfect amount of power for your hair needs. “We’ve taken sensing and heating technology to the physical maximum with platinum+,” says Dr Tim Moore, ghd Vice President of Smart Devices. “By having a sensor which covers the whole area of the heater, and algorithms which smartly predict what the heater needs to do next, this styler ensures definitive styling longevity and shine, without the damage. It is the ultimate hairstyling tool.” For hairdressers and consumers alike, this means more effective control of heat for the best results possible, along with the healthiest condition for hair. The ghd platinum+ also boasts the fastest heat-up time ever, ready to style in just 20 seconds. As a professor from Cambridge University, Dr Moore says that there are a lot of misconceptions when it comes to using a heated styler. “There’s a lot of miscommunication when it comes to temperature,” Dr Moore says. “Hair consists of three kinds of bonds. Putting your styler at the hottest temperature is not the key to getting hair how you want it. You don’t need anything above 185°C,
because using anything above GHD that creates vertical cracks along PLATINUM+ the cuticle, causing the cuticle to Proven results lift, resulting in tangles and splits. include: Trying to style hair below 185°C • 70% stronger will often take many passes of hair the tool to achieve a good result, • 20% more shine which is more drying to the hair • 2 X more colour and causes further split ends.” integrity “The temperature • Fastest ever that will break heat-up time the hair bond is • Ready to style 200 degrees,” he in 20 seconds explains. “High • 3-year warranty temperatures can change the colour of the hair too. The ghd platinum+ going to 230 degrees is really bad news and significant damage will be caused to the hair.” Dr Moore leads the Research and Development lab for ghd that tests the styler in a multitude of ways. As ghd’s most rigorously tested tool, the ghd platinum+ is so reliable that it comes with a three-year warranty. ghd Global Ambassador, Adam Reed, says that to him, ghd has made the best styler even better! “What I love most about ghd platinum+ is that it features the most incredible smart technology that adapts to every individual’s hair needs. This has made styling so easy for me. No matter whether a client has super-thick hair or incredibly fine hair, I know that using the platinum+ will give me a consistent result and a beautifully smooth finish across every hair type.”

their new vision, with hints of Dennis everywhere. Outside is a magnolia tree, chosen for the property because “Steel Magnolias” was his favourite movie. The ‘D’ even stands for Dennis in ‘Studio,’ and it has an arrow pointing skywards as a tribute. A salon full of heart.
QUITE AN ENTRANCE As you approach the front doors of Studio 285, you are welcomed in a very unique way. In the spirit of positive energy, you’ll find large healing crystals in the sidewalk and there has been no expense spared on the antique lion head door knobs from Europe. The lion symbolises strength, courage and leadership. It represents who Amber and Brittany are and if you look closely, you can find the image of a lion hidden throughout the entire salon. Entering the front doors,
your eyes are immediately drawn up to the 26ft wall of mirrors, where a gold geometric lion head hangs front and centre behind the sleek black front desk. As soon as your eyes come down, you will fall in love with the “Google Earth” stained concrete floors. The floors are undeniably the most talked about design element in the salon.
ALL ABOUT THE DETAILS A six-foot crystal chandelier hangs in the centre of the main lobby and reflects off the tall mirrored wall. The salon’s waiting area features velvet mid-century modern furniture, gold geometric shelving, and a custom-built retail cabinet. The shampoo area features black double-sided cabinets, an iridescent tile back-splash, and a counter top designed with grommets where stylists

can throw used towels. There are five black shampoo stations that sit below a huge greenery ceiling featuring four chandeliers, lots of different colours, and tropical plants hanging throughout.
OUT OF THIS WORLD The orbital hair processors resemble flying saucers, and guests enjoy gazing at a hand-painted wall that includes a sparkling cosmic galaxy, flat-screen TV, and a lit-up moon. Atomic-style starbursts behind the processing chairs give a “Jetsons” vibe. On the far right of the salon, there is a huge eclectic gallery wall that is always changing. This is where stylists take photos of clients hair for social media. A delight for the senses, Studio 285 is a true labour of love. studio285inc.com

In Conversation With Uros Mikic & Richi Grisillo This award-winning Aussie duo are the ANZ Creative Directors for System Professional. The pair talk to Headway about their new roles, current hair influences and favourite styling products @SYSTEMPROFESSIONAL
Richi Grisillo @RICHI_GRISILLO
46 HEADWAY.NET.NZ
As a Creative Director for System Professional, what does your role entail? RICHI: It’s an exciting time for us! I have worked with Wella for over 12 years and the System Professional range has been a go-to for Acadèmie Salon: it has developed a bit of a cult status with its EnergyCode™ technology. I have championed the care line for years and now with the latest launch of System Professional Styling, I am truly proud to put my name and creativity to something so innovative. UROS: This appointment is a great honour. Since Kinky Curly Straight joined the Wella family earlier this year, it’s a great feeling to offer my team and clients high-performing, premium products to work with. As Creative Director for System Professional, I’m excited to work with like-minded people to ultimately help lead some gamechanging work for the System Professional brand and Wella. It really is an exciting time.
Tell us about the new System Professional styling range and what you love most about it? UROS: The range compliments the existing System Professional care range with CreativeCode™ technology, which makes it easy to build a client’s personalised at-home care regime! Using EnergyCode™ Mapping, we are able to decipher the best product combinations for each of our clients, a truly effective care system tailored to each individual’s hair and scalp needs. My favourite styling product so far is System Professional Energy Dry Conditioner. It’s lightweight, easy to use and offers instant results – a client favourite and a real game-changer for the salon. What’s your personal hero product from the range? RICHI: System Professional’s care-infused styling gives results that our clients want, and that is fantastic-looking hair that is also healthy, touchable and shiny – without compromising on style. Two key products, System
Professional Perfect Ends and System Professional Energy Dry Conditioner, have become an instant favourite at Acadèmie Salon. The results give a ‘born again’ feeling to hair, like starting fresh. Do you have a System Professional ‘cocktail mix’ you can share with us? UROS: I’ve been experimenting with a combination of System Professional Sculpting Clay and Curl Definer Elasticizing Cream. Combined, they create truly perfect curls - defined and longlasting. What do you enjoy most about being part of the Wella family? RICHI: Wella have been a great support throughout my career: from being an apprentice to senior hairdresser, session stylist and salon owner. Wella pride themselves on growing and encouraging success in the hairdressing, beauty and fashion industry, and have let me grow creatively, providing me with incredible support on every level: product support, education and personal business development. It is this support that I enjoy and value most.
UROS & RICHI’S FAVOURITES Richi - Film: It changes on a weekly basis. Uros - Guilty Pleasure: My car! A Land Rover Defender. Richi - Celebrity Crush: Margot Robbie. Uros - Holiday Destination: Hawaii. Richi - Luxe Purchase: Fendi slides. Uros - Designer: DSQARED2. Richi - Fragrance: BLACK Comme des Garçons or Le Labo Santal Uros - Actor: Denzel Washington is a great actor and Vin Diesel – cool dude! people I hang with. My recent trip to Europe and my home country, Slovenia, is fresh in my mind and I’m currently injecting a visual mix of beautiful nature and urban European style into my work.
Uros Mikic

@UROS.MIKIC
Congratulations on your win as Hair Expo Men’s Hairdresser/Barber of the Year. What is your creative process when working on a new collection? UROS: Thank you! A lot of research and planning, then practice, practice, practice! It is important to enjoy every step of the process, to do what you love and love what you do. This is the key to a blissful work/life balance. What are your favourite cutting and styling techniques right now?
RICHI: I love healthy-looking hair. I like to work with block, freehand colour placement to create seamless blends of colour. I am moving away slightly from Balayage and am enjoying creating expensive-looking, well-conditioned end results. I’m also loving texture at the moment, with broken perimeter lines instead of the blunt, heavylooking cuts that have dominated social media the past few years. What is inspiring and influencing your work at the moment? UROS: I’m one of those artists inspired by the places I visit and
What has been your most memorable session styling experience? RICHI: I still get a huge kick from being backstage at international fashion weeks. I thrive from the energy and pressure of the backstage environment. Saying that, nothing ever really beats seeing your work in print. Which styles are you looking forward to creating for clients for spring/summer? UROS: This season’s ALL about texture, combining dry products such as System Professional Instant Reset Dry Shampoo and lightweight fixing sprays to build remouldable styles, without compromising hair health. We’re going to see a lot of the ‘modern shag’ too. HEADWAY.NET.NZ 47

Next Level Fudge Professional up their game with the re-launch of their new care range @FUDGEHAIRAU
N
ew technology, new packaging and new formulas make for an exciting line-up from Fudge. We chat with Katie Barker, Global Head of Product Development & Marketing of Fudge Professional to learn more. What are you most excited about in terms of the new Fudge Care Range? It’s a tie between the amazing new formulas with instant transformative effects on hair, and the new holographic packaging. As a professional brand, product performance is always our number one priority and this is our most technicallyadvanced range with fantastic supporting data. But if you can also package it in a way that feels fresh and disruptive, I think you have a winning combination. 48 HEADWAY.NET.NZ
What do you think is unique about this haircare collection? The simplicity of the platforms. We’re catering for a broad selection of hair types and needs without over-complicating or proliferating the SKUs. We’re combining colour-lock technology with other key benefits, such as thickness and shine, so you don’t need to choose between colour protection and other end results. What are the most important aspects of the technology behind the range? The Opti-Plex technology that runs throughout the shampoo and conditioner regime is about targeting damage and repairing hair to its original state. Hair undergoes a lot, particularly those who colour and use thermal styling tools, so we developed a unique protein that compositionally sits between the
inside and outside of the hair. The lower molecular weight end can penetrate the cuticle and build from within, whilst the higher molecular end treats the surface of the hair to reinforce, lubricate and protect the cuticle and shaft. Historically, conditioners only treated the surface of hair, so this new technology being applied into a care regime is a leap forward. When hair is in good condition, it becomes more manageable, has more shine and holds on to colour for longer.
PHOTOGRAPHY: Supplied
What are your must-have products? I’ve bleached my hair since I was 13, so Fudge Damage Rewind Shampoo and Conditioner is my new life-saver. I also need violet toning weekly and now I can have repair with toning benefits thanks to the launch of our Fudge Clean Blonde Damage Rewind innovation. I also love to curl my hair, so I use a combination of Fudge Tri-Blo and Fudge Xpander Foam for great hold, shine, thermal protection and additional thickness. Fudge Treatment Time Machine Top Lock (launching in NZ soon) is my quarterly treat to instantly improve my hair quality. What do you think salons and clients will love about the new range? Hairdressers love covetable items, so I think the packaging will really appeal. Once they get to work with the products, the results will speak for themselves. I’m looking forward to the insalon use, as we have created a beautiful new fragrance which will fill the salon and get clients talking about the products that have been selected for them. The quality and the reasonable price points will make this range accessible for in-salon use but a great retail add-on to client appointments.
“As a professional brand, product performance is our first priority and this is our most technicallyadvanced range ever.”

@LENARDJOHNSTON_OFFICIAL
Winning Edge 5 Minutes with INDUSTRY NZ Hairdresser of the Year 2018, Lenard Johnston
What are some of the most important things you’ve learned from entering competitions like this? For me, it’s having a great team behind 50 HEADWAY.NET.NZ
Who do you love to follow on Instagram? I follow everyone, from hairdressers, to artists, photographers, models and fashion magazines. I get my inspiration from many sources. you: from your photographer, through to your makeup artist, stylist and models. This is the foundation to creating a successful collection. Have a clear direction of what you want to create and stick to it. Yes, you have to spend money if you want to be in with a chance. As hard as it is to hear, that’s the reality. What are your go-to resources for keeping up-to-date on the industry, both in New Zealand and internationally? Well, Headway of course! Also, the INDUSTRY Facebook page for what others are doing in New Zealand. Internationally, it would be The Journal magazine on Instagram. How would your co-workers describe you? I would like to say hard-working, driven, ambitious and creative but I know they think I'm a dork! I'm always cracking jokes or breaking out in a dance for no reason. Life’s too short so I don't take myself too seriously.
What are your must-have tools and products currently? I don't go anywhere without my Y.S.Park kit - every hairdresser should have one. On-set my go-to products are Joico Blowout Perfecting Crème, Sachajuan Volume Powder and L'Orèal Elnett Hairspray. Which session stylist would you most like to work alongside? There are so many, but if I had to choose it would be Odile Gilbert. I love her ‘less is more’ approach to hair. What’s in the pipeline for you over the coming year? I don't tend to plan but I have my fingers crossed for the A.I.P.P Awards coming up. For me though, it’s actually about having a weekend off! I shoot nearly every weekend - having a break is exciting for me. I do have a work Xmas trip to New Caledonia in November, so it will be great to relax with my workmates.

What was the inspiration behind your INDUSTRY Hairdresser of the Year collection and your winning men’s collection? My Hairdresser of the Year collection was inspired by The Cotton Club in New York City’s Harlem, which operated from 1923 to 1935, and then for a brief period during 1936 to 1940 in the Theater District. The club was most notable during America's Prohibition era. This has always been a fashionable era for me and I wanted to create a collection based around it. My childhood inspired the hair behind my men’s collection; popular culture in the 70s and 80s was music from ABBA and The Jackson 5, through to shows like The Partridge Family, The Waltons, The Osmonds, and Bruce Lee. The fashion however was inspired by my high school science teacher, who I thought was pretty cool. He had a handlebar moustache, knee-high socks worn with sandals, a bow tie, wool vests, polyester shorts and smoked a pipe. Students gave him slack but I loved his look.

Soft, denim-inspired shades of blue were popular in L.A. in 2017, but lately a brighter, bolder iteration has been popping up all over Hollywood. Many celebs have already taken to the colour trend, and we're thinking that the rest of the world is sure to follow. From Kim Kardashian's outfitcoordinating Yeezy icy navy, to Hailey Baldwin's cerulean sci-fi electric shade, blue hair is making an unexpected return to the red carpet. Earlier this year, Fergie gave us an early taste of neon blue with tinted tips that were created by celebrity colourist George Papanikos. This is a colour for the more experimental hair chameleons out there. Non-committal personalities will prefer temporary highlights to get in on the trend, so they can rinse out the colour before their tan fades.

ACID REIGN Colourists are already brightening their shade concoctions because acid hair is the next rainbow hue to sweep the industry. Call it what you want - neon, dayglow, electric, 80s-inspired - but things are going more technicolour and less My Little Pony. “More colour,” is how celeb colourist Daniel Moon describes the change. “It got quiet for a second, which means the wave will come back around. That’s how it works. You stay away, the trend plays out, and then you go back at it and remember how fun it is.” Think vibrant pinks, teal, and fluorescent yellow. You can temper brightness of the trend with a naturallooking root, which allows for an easier (and more predictable) grow out. Or focus all the attention on the roots, which will convince everyone the fading colour was totally on purpose.

3 Since Ultra Violet was named Pantone’s 2018 Colour of the Year, countless iterations of purple hair have been invading Instagram feeds. Between photos of delicate Balayage and low-key bronde looks, you can find purple hair in basically every shade imaginable. There’s no doubt hues of purple bring personality to
any hairstyle: from sophisticated pastels through to deeper, more vivid tones, lavender, plum and violet are making their presence known. Dark purple shades make brunette strands pop, while blondes can opt for lighter purple highlights for a sexy, creative twist.

and extraordinary shine from all angles. The innovative molecular structure and the unique distribution of the electrical charge is able to intensely colour the hair and provide high-fade resistance.

We reflect thanks to a glimpse of intimacy that unfolds in the urban context, before an unexpected gesture, surprising ourselves by our image reflected in a shop window. Our reflected figure triggers reflection as introspection. This is what led to the Reflection collection, devoted to the unexpected moments that interrupt everyday life and to the women who choose to seize them, feeding with reflection their own free and independent view of the world around them.� Angelo Seminara.

The Secret of the Superstar Stylist
I
t’s fair to say that with over 600 hairstylists working in their salons across the country, Vivo’s coowners, James Carlisle and Lynden Mason, have had the opportunity to witness and talk with thousands of stylists over the years. “We have worked with every kind of stylist; from young apprentices to those who have been in the trade for more than 40 years,” Lynden reflects. “We have seen some stylists’ careers stall, while others go from strength to strength.” The Vivo directors have a name for these people Superstar Stylists. What qualifies someone as a ‘Superstar Stylist’? James and Lynden agree it’s the stylists who are always learning and keeping their skill-set fresh, who have developed a large and loyal client base. “And of course,” James says, “it’s a stylist who really loves what they do”. Lynden agrees. “There are lots of aspects
"
to a hairdresser’s career, but it’s the understanding of ‘why’ that makes the difference. I’ve found that many people are focused on ‘what’ they do in a career. Here’s an example. A stylist has a halfhead of foils booked. They give this client a technically solid half-head of foils but the client doesn’t return. Nothing went wrong with the service and the stylist is confused as to why the client doesn’t return. This stylist is focused on ‘what’ they do: apply colour, cut hair, blow-dry and style. By doing this, they miss the major component of why a person visits a hair salon.” A ‘what’ mentality limits a person’s perspective. Superstar Stylists understand clients have limited understanding of how to achieve their ideas, and the Superstar Stylist thinks about why the client is really in the chair and what the client actually wants. This person wants to feel amazing and it’s up to the stylist to develop the pathway to this vision. The WHY is the purpose of the Superstar Stylist. They understand monetary reward is just a side-effect, not the main motivator. “Focusing on making
You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead pursue the things you love doing, and then do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off of you.” - Maya Angelou 62 HEADWAY.NET.NZ
money from your clients is never going to make you money, because this encourages negative behaviours that are counterproductive to making clients feel their best,” says James. “Focusing on making clients feel amazing will lead to financial success”. Lynden interjects. “People tell everyone they know about an amazing experience. Ultimately, that’s why a client returns to a salon over and over again. It’s not just about technically great hair - it’s about an experience that leaves them feeling fantastic about themselves too”. The take-home message is this: the day a stylist wakes up with the belief they are going to find ways to make their clients feel amazing, and that truly becomes their purpose, a whole new level of happiness and fulfilment will be unlocked for clients, colleagues and themselves. As a stylist’s reputation grows, financial success will be a natural consequence to this positive mind-set. There is a famous quote that reads: “When you do what you love, you’ll never work another day in your life”. The key to this is finding your WHY.

What is the greatest benefit you believe Wella’s business support offers salons? The mission we have as a marketing team is to provide programs and products that elevate and inspire the industry to drive more clients into the salon more frequently. We work with our global team, based out of Geneva, on new product launches, marketing campaigns and our digital tools, such as Activate Your Salon, Salon Finder and Salon Marketing. Locally, we work with our sales and education team to ensure all these products and tools are available to our salons. How do you think Wella differs from other suppliers in terms of the marketing support provided to salon owners? We seek inspiration from a variety of sources. We brainstorm with our Creative Directors, such as Brad Lepper from French Revolver. We speak to salon owners about the challenges they’re facing in the industry, and we talk to our Coty colleagues in other beauty businesses to understand what is working to grow their customers. We also read widely on the beauty industry globally and locally, and speak to experts in many fields relating to marketing. Last year, we had the former head of the Facebook Creative Shop at our annual customer conference to talk to Wella salon owners about creating compelling social content for their clients.
increase the spend of their existing clients and find a way to attract new clients. To grow existing clients, I would focus on Customer Relationship Management (CRM), including elements such as a loyalty program: a communication strategy to share salon updates via text, email or social media, birthday offers or a random giveaway of free product to a loyal client as a way to ‘surprise and delight’ them. I would utilise Facebook ads and sponsored Instagram posts to target new clients - these are surprisingly cheap and effective. Word-of-mouth is always powerful. Check which of your clients has a strong social media following and consider how you can work with them to promote your salon. Finally, you should encourage your loyal clients to ‘rate and review’ your business on your Facebook page or Google Business. If you target people online, you need to have quality content to showcase your work.

What do you believe are the indicators of a well-marketed business? The first step of any business is to have a quality product. Then you need a clear brand proposition – what does your brand stand for and how is it different to your competition? From there, a good business will define and execute their strategy flawlessly, test and learn along the way, adapt to challenges, look for inspiration everywhere and keep an eye on the competition. What exciting marketing innovations are on the agenda for Wella salons in 2018/2019? We have some game-changing products launching over the next 12 months and
we are working on innovative ways to support them to ensure they are successful for our salon partners. What are the three best marketing tips you could offer a salon business owner? Content Marketing: Creating great content and knowing how to amplify it and to who is one of the most powerful forms of communication. When used effectively, content can transform a business. Network: Building relationships is a critical part of any business. Whether it’s within your industry or not, developing contacts can result in new clients, new ideas and ways of thinking. Wella’s RED Forum is designed to help our salons connect and learn from each other, as well as experts from a variety of specialist areas. Listen: Not just to your customers’ feedback, but to staff, the industry, media and beyond. You can learn so much from others that can be reapplied to your business marketing efforts. What do you love most about being part of the Wella family? The fact that it is a family! Whether it is Wella employees, the agencies that we work with, or our salon partners, we are all passionate about the industry, about our brands, and about the craft of hairdressing. We want to deliver a final product that celebrates and liberates the diversity of beauty, and that’s a mission we work on every day. HEADWAY.NET.NZ 71

What does winning this award mean to you? NINA: This is a huge honour. To be recognized on a national level for work that I’ve produced is incredibly humbling. When I first started hairdressing, one of my goals was to enter competitions. I never in my wildest dreams expected to be so successful! It still feels incredibly surreal. BETHANY: I’m honoured to receive this award and want to thank the following for helping me achieve this. Vivo Hair & Beauty salon owners - Lynden Mason and James Carlisle - photographer Fiona Quinn, makeup artist Deb Tan, model Erica Foubister, Zambesi for styling, and the incredibly talented Goldwell NZ and Australian educators who

have helped me develop as a colourist. This award is my way of giving back to my loyal guests in the salon by inspiring them with new ideas and pushing the creative envelope. What was the inspiration behind your look? NINA: The beautiful images the Goldwell Global Creative Team produced really spoke to me. I loved the Elemental theme, so I based mine on precious stones. The violet tone represents the protection and strength of an Amethyst stone, and the turquoise colour popping through brings the eternal youth of the Jade stone. BETHANY: The Elemental collection has been my favourite Color Zoom collection to date because it provided the opportunity to choose colours from the world’s natural elements. By taking

this raw beauty, I was able to strip it apart, right down to its veins and put it back together with my take on it. After shortlisting ideas, I edited them down to one and chose an Amethyst cluster to inspire my colour palette. As for the cut, we are seeing mullet and shag styles making a comeback. I thought I'd put my stamp on it this year for old time’s sake.
Silver and Bronze Award Winners Creative Colourist Silver Award NICKY CROMBIE VIVO HAIR & BEAUTY ON THE STRAND TAURANGA
What are your must-have products currently? NINA: My absolute favourite product is Goldwell StyleSign Texturiser, such an awesome product to use on wet or dry hair. I also love StyleSign Diamond Gloss Spray for humidity protection and shine as a finishing product. BETHANY: Goldwell BondPro+ is my go-to in-salon service for maintaining the integrity of clients hair. I love all the products within the Goldwell Kerasilk, Dualsenses and KMS ranges, but a standout is Kerasilk Repower Volume BlowDry Spray and Dualsenses Just Smooth 6 Effects Serum. Favourite colours and shapes for spring/summer? NINA: I’m definitely looking forward to keeping muted pastel tones alive. I'm loving any peachy or coral tones for summer! As for shapes, I'm all over the layered bob with plenty of beach wave. I love keeping it feminine but adding fun with texture and oomph. What do you love most about the hairdressing industry? BETHANY: My love for hairdressing grows from knowing I play a part in making a person feel amazing and it is so gratifying to see. Being part of the industry is continually exciting because there's always something new to learn, to teach others, or just something to refine. It’s an ongoing process that encourages us to do the best we can.

La Biosthetique’s spring/summer collection welcomes a return to curls and lady-like glamour @LABIOSTHETIQUEAUS
Headway Hair | INTERNATIONAL | PROMOTION
L
a Biosthetique’s new collection, She’s a Lady, showcases women who aspire to be free, strong and confident. Celebrating a beauty that empowers women, all the looks showcase a variety of beautiful curls and waves: from modern and contemporary, through to subtle elegance and powerfully playful. Back to the 80s with a present-day feel, we love the classic big wave look with heightened volume, which makes a statement of glamour and strength. Soft, big waves with voluminous roots hark back to the elegance of bygone days. Feminine, classic and glamorous. For a more versatile style, go big with bouncy, flexible curls with loads of shine and fresh texture. Tightly rolled or brushed out, curls with character are the order of the day. A modern interpretation of the confident 1920s sees long hair set in glowing waves, styled and pinned into an asymmetric bob, while the same model rocks a French-chic, cool-waves look – fresh, feminine and sophisticated. The decisive centre parting and flat roots give the look a modern touch, as does the red power suit. Heralding style icons of the 60s, such as Audrey Hepburn, we also see hair worn like an accessory, inspired by the pom-pom. Shiny hair and a shiny shape is created by back-combing hair till it lays on the head like a ball, or a particularly striking piece of jewellery. These glamorous looks gives rise to the current runway trend for more romantic styling.

backing us, and the creative energy on set that day will be memorable forever. A decent amount of our team made it into the finals which is a HUGE deal and of course, our pal Andrew took out Hairstylist of the Year!
Why would you encourage other stylists to join the Rodney Wayne family? We spend so much time in the salon working on commercial looks. It’s such a great outlet to really find yourself and express your individual style and personality.
What opportunities has being part of the Artistic Team given you?
Lizzie White
What has been the most exciting project you’ve worked on as an Artistic Team member? Taking part in L’Oréal’s ‘The Collective’ has been my most exciting project. We had an amazing photography and styling team 76 HEADWAY.NET.NZ
My biggest reason for joining the team was to get to know my Rodney Wayne family from other salons outside of my region and being the bridge that gets people together, comfortably mingling and making friendships. It’s been amazing seeing and recognising faces when we have awards, show nights or classes. I know the other team members value the styling sessions for magazines or runway but for me it’s all about familiarity.
How does Rodney Wayne help you achieve your passions as a hair stylist? I have been with RW for a whopping 17 years - 6 salons in 3 regions. I have had amazing encouragement to enter competitions, grow my skill-set, manage salons and now my favourite -inspiring people to find their potential.
What is the most valuable lesson you’ve learned in your role so far? Trust yourself and your knowledge! I never realised I had a paralysing fear of public speaking. When I first got up in front of my Artistic Team peers, I completely bailedthere were a few tears because my fear had come unexpectedly! Since then, I’ve worked hard at pushing myself into uncomfortable situations and grown so much confidence with crowds and live stream videos.
Which hairdressers do you most admire? Richard Kavanagh. Hearing his stories and seeing the work he is involved with constantly leaves me speechless such dedication.

Andrew Cobeldick What has been the most exciting project you’ve worked on as an Artistic Team member?

Richard, our mentor, has taken me under his wing to work alongside him on shoots and runway shows to understand the industry better.

This chic, refined, Double Bay salon combines warmth and luxury in a modern setting
S
tep into La Boutique, a minimalist’s dream. This salon is a refined space that incorporates luxe marble and natural timber tones with a natural, earthy colour palette. Located in Double Bay, Sydney, La Boutique is owned by Belinda Jeffrey, whose vision was to create a space that feels humble and down-to-earth yet maintains the highest levels of quality. La Boutique collaborated with award-winning interior designers We Are Triibe to transform the space. The vision for the interior was to create an open and chic salon that was comfortable but not pretentious. The design features needed to be aesthetically modern and sophisticated to reflect the type of service La Boutique provide. Correct lighting was also important, with Belinda wanting to bring more natural light into the salon – an essential when working with colour. The salon space keeps things casual, creating a styling area that’s simple and no fuss. The arch-shaped mirror with the marble shelf is combined with feature lighting and the Comfortel Tan Chloe Salon Chair. A private VIP area has also been created with the help of sheer, flowing curtains. The backwash area is earthy and features custom-
made tan-coloured Claire Wash Lounges to match the styling chairs. Combined with light-filled windows and custom-colour bar cabinetry consisting of mesh metal with raw timber, this salon space has become the pursuit of perfection. “It was important that the furniture and equipment met our styling requirements for the La Boutique renovation,” says Belinda. “Comfortel went above and beyond in arranging to have our wash basins custommade to match our styling chairs. Because their showroom is local, I loved going there personally to try out the basins and styling chairs to ensure that they were functional and comfortable for our clients’ needs.” “I wanted to use a forward-thinking company. The team were very professional and a pleasure to deal with. They did everything they could to bring our vision to life. Nothing was too big or too hard,” comments Belinda. Grounded by the strength of earthy, natural textures, La Boutique salon opens its doors to soft, dark elements. A smooth, dark marble reception desk, a velvety sage green fabric waiting chair, and rich timber tones welcome clients to the reception area. This is a salon fitout that’s setting trends in 2018 with a look we love, along with positive vibes coming from both clients and staff.

A
s part of the INDUSTRY Awards 2018 held in April, HITO apprentices were asked to put together a mood board presentation for a show idea, including hair, makeup and fashion styling. The winning apprentices were Alysha Ellis from Zibido Hamilton; Courtney Hale from Lou Lou’s Salon, Cambridge; Kodi North from Bliss Hair, Auckland; and Jade Scott from Vivo Te Aro, Wellington. Once selected, the group were connected with award-winning hairdressers Michael Beel, Kaleb Pritchard and Sara Allsop and communicated their ideas for the Hair Expo showcase in Melbourne, all whilst sending through hair test photos and any questions they had about the show. The entire group headed to Hair Expo in June, where they used professional models and a Melbourne-based makeup team to create their looks. The collection was shot backstage at Hair Expo before each of the models walked the runway. Marque Morehu from Vivo Avonhead in Christchurch, who won INDUSTRY Emerging Stylist of the Year, was also involved, cutting and styling the male models. The inspiration for the show was “OBEAH", drawing upon this mystical practice from the West Indies. Weaving and casting a spell that recalls Mother Africa and the enslaved bayous of New Orleans, the collection asked viewers to be entranced by the dark art of folk magic (hoodoo) and the original New Orleans Voodoo Queen herself, Marie Laveau.

Founder and director of software company SalonEzy, Aadil Waja, talks about the company’s passion for their clients and their newly released Epical system
What sets both the SalonEzy family and your software apart from the rest? Two words - simplicity and effectiveness. A combination of salon experience and IT know-how results in a solution that best suits the salon industry. We are a well-established company with over 24 years’ experience in the industry and this equips us to fully understand what is required from an IT system. Our system is able to bridge the gap between talented salon therapist/ stylist and computer systems by providing the best after-sales support. Our commitment comes from the joy we get from talking to clients - we love what we do. You recently launched Epical. Tell us more about this new technology? Some years ago, I embarked on a journey of self-awareness in search of happiness which led me to the simplest of realisations: “The simple things in life are sometimes the hardest to see”. I incorporated this holistic, gamechanging way of looking at life 84 HEADWAY.NET.NZ
into the way we do things in our company. This motivated me to create Epical, which had to fit these requirements: simplicity of use, effective, powerful in functionality using all the latest technologies, and affordable for all – a joy to give something back to the industry. Epical was developed from a place of happiness within the company.
What has the feedback been from salons so far? We’ve received amazing feedback. As an example... “Epical is an easy-to-use system with flexibility to adjust and update to meet our ongoing requirements. Aadil is great to work with. He is always positive and quickly available to answer our questions.” Jasmine Roy, Manukau Institute of Technology. “Awesome software. Really simple to use and great being able to access from anywhere! The support crew have been a massive help and really easy to deal with.” Jordon Watene, Madison Hair Studio.
What can Epical do for salons and what are the biggest benefits? Most importantly, Epical is 100% Cloud-based. All you need to access the system is a web browser like Chrome, which means access from any computer – Windows-based PC, Apple Mac, Linux, Tablet or any mobile device - anywhere in the world. Ease of use is vital for staff members and owners. Some of Epical’s key features are… • Appointment book • SMS/email reminders • Point of Sale with barcode reading, POS printers and Cash Drawers • Stock control with detailed stock reporting • Contacts for clients, staff and
What are you most excited about in terms of the future for SalonEzy? The future of any software system is in its ability to adapt and change to the requirements and needs of its users. Input from our users is valuable to ensure the system performs exactly the way the user needs it to. It’s our understanding of the industry that makes it possible for us to achieve the best fit.

WHERE’S THE BOY'S ROOM? With the growth of the barbershop, are we in danger of losing our male clients to this new kid on the block? Headway investigates the pros and cons of the investment in a separate man’s space in your business and what that would entail
PHOTOGRAPHY: Shutterstock and Supplied.
J
NEW PRODUCTS Make sure you have a selection of products for your male customer that are specifically for him. There is a reason sales for male grooming are outperforming the female segment, and if you don’t have the products to sell, clients will go somewhere else to buy.
ust as we were beginning to break down all the barriers of having men in the hair salon, along came the extraordinary growth of the barber shop and its new demographic. No longer is the barbershop that place where old men with little hair or little boys, who don’t have anyone to impress, hang out. The barbershop as we know, and love by the way, is now a completely different place than it was even five years ago. Is this causing an unnecessary panic amongst hair salons that have painstakingly grown and held the market for the male with a focus on detailed cuts and other services? If it is then it shouldn’t as the line between stylists and barbers may have become blurred for the consumer but for trade this is not the case. The opportunity to further grow the male grooming market by offering an alternative option is a very positive one. Competition encourages innovation and makes us better at what we do. Yes, you may think your local barber could be your competitor but they are not your enemy. Without heathy competition in any industry the market becomes stagnant. Here are some suggestions to add to your hair salon that are now available because of the boom of the barber.
NEW TREATMENTS Now this is a very cost-effective one and can just be a matter of rethinking your menu or price list next time you’re due for a price review (which should be every year btw). Change up your language and chose your words wisely - if you offer your female clients a manicure or paint whilst her colour is on, do the same for your male clients but call it a ‘Refurbishment’ rather than a manicure for instance. The language of grooming for males is different so make sure you have both audiences covered.
“Competition encourages innovation and makes us better at what we do.”
NEW SPACE This is not about relocating but more about thinking how you could make your current salon a little more gender-neutral, or a least one of the chairs. Whilst we know that serving alcohol has become a tricky one for the industry, serving a decent long black in pink bone china may not be a lot of guy’s preference, so make sure you have touches that speak to your professionalism and the fact that you are aware a male space is different to a female one. Spring is a great time to be looking at introducing a new range and a new space, as everyone is looking for something a little different. It is also the perfect time to be reviewing your pricing as you prep for the summer season. Capitalise on this change and highlight all the great things about being in the hair industry, regardless of which sector you’re nailing.

here’s a trend occurring in the salon industry that you may have fallen victim to. A client comes to your salon for foils and a cut. They show you a picture, you create what they have asked for, and they seem happy with the outcome. The next day they return demanding a refund as it’s not what they expected. Our discussions with industry leaders and representatives confirm that more and more salon owners are becoming victim to it. One salon owner summed up the issue: “It’s what people are doing now. Demanding refunds, without giving the salon a chance to rectify.” Firstly though, we have to understand why salon owners are at risk in the first place. The domination of social media has given power to the people. While large corporations can often recover after a PR disaster on social media, smaller businesses may not be so lucky. Customer-facing professions like hair salons have to be careful, with many having their stellar reputations destroyed by a single post online. Whether the post is 100% truthful doesn’t seem to matter. So, when a client demands a refund and threatens to make a defamatory post on Facebook, salon owners have every right to get nervous. What can you do to protect yourself, your staff, and your business? It takes three things to avoid
this situation. Effective communication, an exceptional client experience and client consultation COMMUNICATION Relationships are everything. The connections you make with clients determine your success in the salon industry. Like any successful relationship, the foundation lies in effective communication. Lockhart Meyer published an article stating that while 97% of hairdressers claimed they give a consultation at every appointment, only 7% of clients believed they’d received one - room for improvement. Many salons make use of automatic SMS messages to communicate with clients once they’ve gone, but this focus on effective communication needs to start as soon as they walk through the door.
“What can you do to protect yourself, your staff and your business?”

CLIENT EXPERIENCE It’s not your regular clients who are going to be demanding refunds. They’re regulars for a reason - they love the experience your salon provides. The disgruntled refund-demanding client we’re talking about is often not a firsttimer. They were either surprised with their client experience, or even skulked into the salon with a refund in mind. Regardless of who enters your salon, the client experience should be foremost in your mind. The easiest way to improve the experience is to ensure you both have a clear idea why they’re there and what you’re going to be doing. Set expectations
at the start then meet them. That’s where the client consultation process comes in. CONSULTATION Your first goal is to understand the client’s needs and expectations. The second is to document this, so you can refer back if necessary. The process should look like this: • Greet the client with a warm smile. Introduce yourself, communicate, and begin to develop that friendly rapport your regulars love. • Begin the consultation. Ideally, it should be a form that the client fills out themselves. Include questions like: What are you hoping to achieve with your hair today? What is your current hair care routine? What styles and colours are you loving at the moment? • Go over the consultation form with the client. Clarify any grey areas, then file it with the client’s other details. Now you can provide your exceptional client experience! If refunds or do-overs are being demanded at no fault of the stylist, the consultation document is there to fall back on. Like so much salon admin, the future is digital. Soon your clients will be filling out consultation apps on ipads or iphones, before and after photos will be taken, and all this information uploaded to the client’s profile and stored safely in the cloud - seamless and simple. A perfect client experience, with no room for complaints. By Timely Salon & Spa Software www.gettimely.com

Servilles Academy celebrate the opening of their new creative learning facility @SERVILLESHAIR
S
ervilles Academy have recently moved to a new space, their fourth location since the establishment of the academy over 22 years ago. The incredible new space is located at 8 Canada Street, just off Upper Queen Street and Karangahape Road in Auckland’s CBD. Previously the Zambesi workshop, this place is no stranger to creative souls ready to make their mark on the world. Not only is the stand-alone building contemporary, it is also sustainable; the roof has been built on an angle so that rainwater can be collected and reused within the building. Water is also heated with the use of solar power. The interior of the building is cleverly architecturally designed, with a salon, large learning space, Head Office and a tutor’s office spread over four floors. The salon is store front, further replicating the feel of a professional salon for both clients and students and as a bonus, there is more accessible 94 HEADWAY.NET.NZ
parking. The main floor of the academy is a bustling hub of students and tutors. The open-plan learning space features three areas, each dedicated to the three disciplines taught at the academy (hairdressing, barbering and makeup). There is also a theory space, spa area and student break room. The open-plan space encourages a more communitybased environment where students can communicate and inspire one another more freely. Reflecting the academy’s contemporary culture and sustainable attitude, this new space is another reason as to why the academy is top of its game in hair and beauty education. We spoke with Servilles Academy founder and director, Paul Serville, to find out more… Why did you decide to relocate Servilles Academy? It was motivated by the previous lease coming to an end and instead of renewing, it gave us an opportunity to see what else was around. We found this incredible
What was your vision for the new space and how did you bring this to life? The vision was to develop a creative space in a modern-day learning environment that would very much excite the next generation coming through. I believe it’s the most exciting academy that exists on this side of the world. What was most important to you in terms of creating this new education facility? That it was absolutely in line with carrying on our culture and our values. Where did your inspiration come for the fit-out? I always just work with the building that presents itself and it’s quite a natural and organic process from there - just go with it! It’s very industrial and one of the coolest buildings in Auckland. Plus we now have an incredible profile, which we didn’t have as much in Queen Street. What are you most proud of and what will be the biggest benefits to students with the new academy? I am answering this on the day we have opened and the buzz and excitement of the students is great. Being located right near Karangahape Road is a huge pull, as it’s a bit more alternative and interesting and gives off a more creative buzz than Queen Street. The minute you enter the building, there’s a real wow factor looking down at all the creatives working away. The energy is amazing.

What was your vision for Loxy’s when you first opened and what is your philosophy when it comes to haircare? Loxy’s started with a pure love for giving clients the hair they desperately wanted but couldn’t get naturally, without sacrificing the integrity of their hair. I saw clients having the same positive experience I’d had with my extensions and my love for hair extensions was born. Our philosophy has always been delivering the best for our clients with a holistic hair health approach. These values are woven into all the services we offer and are held strong by the wonderful people who make up team Loxy’s.
What is unique about the services you offer? We specialise in a unique method of hair extensions that involves no glue or braiding. Compared to most methods of extensions, ours take significantly less time to install, and our ethicallysourced, premium quality hair is reusable for many months. Aside from hair extensions, we offer all hair services, proudly work with cruelty-free products and are a member of Sustainable Salons. You’re a huge fan of Olaplex. How has the range benefitted your salon and clientele? Olaplex is the cherry on top of every colour service we offer. It allows us to deliver on our
promise to do the best for our clients every time; it’s been a game-changer. We love to educate clients on the benefits and have them see the results for themselves. We find clients seek out Loxy’s because they know we offer Olaplex. It’s great being associated with such a wellknown and well-respected brand. Can you tell us a little about the new Olaplex No.4 and 5? What are you loving most about these two new additions? I’m so excited the 4 and 5 will complete the picture when it comes to hair health, not just in the salon but at home too. Knowing clients are using these products at home means they’re taking their haircare routine seriously, and that matters to us. Olaplex 4 and 5 will provide an extra layer of certainty for us prior to colouring. What’s inspiring you right now? My team! They’re an incredible bunch of insanely talented stylists, and dedicated managers, administrators and salon supporters. They inspire me every day to be the best I can be.

air is a barometer of the body: anything that happens within the body shows up in your hair. Some people experience hair fall/shedding, while some experience hair loss. I have observed in my practice that people are confused by the difference between hair loss and hair fall. Normally, all human beings shed around 50-100 hair strands per day. Hair fall or hair shedding can be seen after three months of acute illness, fever, sudden shock or malabsorption of food, as examples. Here, we take a look at the more common types of hair loss and their causes.
FEMALE PATTERN BALDNESS: The major reasons behind Female Pattern Baldness relate to underlying health issues. This kind of hair loss can be caused by puberty, menopause, a hysterectomy, long-term intake of contraceptive pills, stress, or can occur post-partum. Visible signs include thinning of hair on the crown area, along with increased hair growth on unwanted 98 HEADWAY.NET.NZ

new, FDA-approved, noninvasive, cutting-edge technology developed to treat hair loss. Regular use of this high-grade laser device stimulates hair follicles, also providing nutrition and oxygen supply to dying follicles. It is one of the safest and most effective treatments available under supervision of a Trichologist. Regular use of a good-quality wooden comb helps blood circulation on a scalp level and also works well as a detangler.
ALOPECIA AREATA:
MALE PATTERN BALDNESS: This type of hair loss is usually caused by genetics, especially when testosterone converts into Dihydrotestosterone (DHT). The top triggers of Male Pattern Baldness are hereditary pattern, steroid consumption, testosterone replacement procedures and sensitivity to DHT. As per the Norwood Scale, 7 various stages can be observed in male pattern baldness. The first stage may start as early as 16 years and initial signs are a receding hairline, scalp visibility on top, an itchy/red scalp or thinning of the hair.

parts of the body. As soon as one can see signs of balding, this means that 50% of hair loss has already taken place. TREATMENT: An internal and external approach to treatment is essential in tackling this problem. Externally, I suggest regular scalp cleansing and application of 5% Capixyl. This is a new peptide technology which helps improve hair quality and vitality. The action of Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 and red clove extract has positive effects in making hair healthier and stronger at a cellular level. Internally, cyclical vitamin and mineral Hair Fact supplements help provide nutrition to weakened hairs. Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is a
This type of hair loss occurs due to an autoimmune reaction, where cells within the body fight against each other. Alopecia Areata is very common globally and causes hair loss in patches. People who develop this type of hair loss can find the condition very stressful and often suffer low self-esteem. If not treated early, Alopecia Areata progresses to Alopecia Totalis (where the entire scalp undergoes hair loss) and further to Alopecia Universalis. The major causes of Alopecia Areata are a genetic disposition to autoimmune disorders, unexpected stress or sudden shock, vitamin D deficiency, viral infections or the continued use of harsh chemicals on hair and scalp. TREATMENT: Each case can be very different, so treatment plans vary. Treating Alopecia Areata starts with a detailed case history and a hair and scalp microscope analysis. A Trichologist may prescribe an intake of the amino acid supplement L-Tyrosine to reduce auto-inflammation. Consistent use of Low-Level Laser Therapy stimulates hair follicles at scalp level. Additionally,

relaxation plays a vital role in reducing the progress of Alopecia. Yoga, meditation and listening to music can help control Alopecia. Regular and frequent follow-ups are needed to monitor the treatment response. Prevention is always better than a cure, so begin treatment as early as possible.
SCARRING ALOPECIA: This is known as inflammatory hair loss, also called Cicatritial Alopecia. This alopecia results in small or large bald patches due to hair follicle destruction. In many cases, Scarring Alopecia starts with Non-Scarring Alopecia and progresses to irreversible permanent baldness. Causes can include the excessive use of hot tools, prolonged traction on the hair, inflammation, injury, burns, tumours and destruction of hair follicle stem cells. TREATMENT: Hair regrowth is not possible with Scarring Alopecia, so the main focus is to cover bald patches and treating the underlying inflammation. I urge people to get treatment at the non-scarring stage (Alopecia Areata). Early detection of Scarring Alopecia helps to get quicker hair growth. In short, the best possible treatment options are; changing your hairstyle pattern, antibiotics or anti-inflammatory agents to reduce redness and itching, wearing a wig and if possible, covering the exposed scalp area with a cap or scarf.
Traction Alopecia can be non-scarring or scarring and totally depends upon the hair follicle damage. The most common causes are consistent, very tight hairstyles (tight ponytails, braids or dreadlocks). Other causes are excessive use of hair straightening chemicals, continuous use of hair extensions or frequent use of tight turbans or caps that pull the hair. TREATMENT: One can avoid Traction Alopecia by using satin/silk pillow covers, which will reduce the friction on the scalp. Using skin-friendly wigs will lower the chances of hair follicle pulling. Choose appropriate hair styles, accessories and tools that won’t harm, damage or pull on the hair.

“Think about your family history or prolonged health history. Take care of your hair and scalp. Stay healthy. Don’t fall into a pattern of stress. Seek regular advice or analysis from experts if needed. Healthy hair equals a healthy you.”
TRACTION ALOPECIA: This type of hair loss is due to excessive pulling of hair and pressure on the hair follicles.
TELOGEN EFFLUVIUM: This
is a diffuse type of hair loss, where hair follicles are alive and therefore regrowth is possible. Diffuse hair loss usually occurs after a sudden metabolic change, emotional stress or hormonal imbalance. Telogen Effluvium hair loss starts immediately 3 months after the triggering event and could last for 6 months, or further progress to Chronic Telogen Effluvium. The most common causes are major surgery, crash dieting, emotional stress, Malaria, Tuberculosis and nutritional deficiency. TREATMENT: In many cases, Telogen Effluvium resolves itself within 7-8 months. Also, proper patient counselling to understand the hair cycle plays an important role. Treatment differs according to the underlying cause
- sometimes an iron-rich diet helps. Topical application of Capixyl to promote hair growth is beneficial, while iron or zinc supplements cover any underlying deficiency.
CHEMOTHERAPY-RELATED HAIR LOSS: This a very common side-effect of chemotherapy. The sufferer feels devastated and undergoes a total loss of self-esteem. During chemotherapy, hair becomes inactive and won’t receive any nutrition to survive till the treatment ends. Characteristics of chemotherapy hair loss are feather-like strands, chemo curls, very thin, fine, fragile hair and pigmentation on the scalp. The patient usually observes hair growth within 12 months after completing chemotherapy. However, customized treatment can help those who have survived cancer and are fighting with chemo-related hair loss. TREATMENT: My treatment plan includes usage of high-grade, noninvasive laser therapy. The main goal is to push the dormant hair follicles back into the growth phase. Results have indicated that using laser therapy consistently allows hair to return within 3 months showing normal characteristics. What can be done to prevent hair loss? Achieving healthy hair through a balanced diet, nutritious hair food and regular relaxation plays a very important role. Any type of hair loss sounds scary; those with medical knowledge and experience of Trichology are well-versed in providing effective treatment options. New technology, appropriate hair care regimes and specific supplements can give tremendous hope and new-found confidence to hair loss sufferers.

THE ART OF EMAIL Joanne Neville discusses the elements that make up a great and engaging email
A
great email should get readers interested enough to open it and engaged enough to take action. Whether that’s to click-through to buy your product, book an appointment or find out more. Here are the things you need to do to ensure every email you send your clients is a great one.
THE AUDIENCE Before you start an email, consider who should receive it. Not everyone in your database should receive every email you send. Think about the client information you have and how you can use it to create a targeted list. For example, if you want to re-engage lost clients, generate a list of clients who haven’t visited in more than 8 weeks.
THE SUBJECT LINE Great emails start with a great subject line - it’s the first thing your clients will see. 47% of email recipients decide whether or not to open an email based on subject line alone. To ensure your subject line can be read in full on both desktop and mobile, keep it under 30 characters. That’s not long so you’ll need to choose your words carefully. Your subject line should also describe 102 HEADWAY.NET.NZ
what your email is about. Tricking your readers now could mean they don’t open emails from you in future. Your subject line should grab attention by focusing on the most exciting part of your email, such as introducing a new product, offer or giveaway. Using personal pronouns like you and your, or personalising it further by using their name, also works well. The use of emojis can also help emails stand out in your client’s inbox. Where relevant, create a sense of urgency by letting clients know they could miss out if they don’t act soon. For example, “Only 10 masterclass tickets left”.
THE PREVIEW TEXT Preview text is the summary text that appears after the subject line in an inbox. This text can work with your subject line to make your email even more appealing. For example, with the subject line “Only 10 masterclass tickets left”, appropriate preview text could be “Don’t miss your chance to take your styling to the next level”.
THE GREETING Your email has been opened. Now’s the time to ensure clients keep reading,
starting with the greeting. Think about your relationship with your clients as well as your businesses personality. Ask yourself, how formal do you need to be with your clients? Is “Dear” appropriate? Maybe your business takes a more relaxed approach like ‘Hi’ or even ‘Hey’. Whichever way you greet your clients, always use their name. Most email marketing tools have the functionality to insert recipients names from your contact list.
THE CONTENT Good content is about getting your audience to understand what you’re saying in the simplest way possible. The most important thing to remember is who you’re writing to, so choose the right tone of voice and benefit for them. The tone of voice you use in an email promoting your edgy new product line targeted at women in their 20’s is going to be different than the tone you use when promoting a new Tuesday morning special for seniors. Keep your content short and sharp by only including the information that’s absolutely required, and try to keep your sentences short and to the point. Ask yourself, “Is this really necessary?” to
test whether you’ve achieved this. By keeping your content clear, relevant and concise, your clients are more likely to engage with and read everything you send.
THE CALL-TO-ACTION For your email to be a success, it should have one very clear call-to-action - the one thing you want your readers to do once they’ve read your email. Your content should be written with this goal in mind by outlining the benefits, then reinforced with a clear instruction directing your clients to take action. The easiest way to do this is with a button. Use your brand colours to help your button stand out from the rest of your email. Choose your words carefully. For example, “Tell us what you think” might encourage more people to participate than “Take our survey”.
nicely and that your audience is correct. Use this time to double-check you’re happy with what you’re sending.
THE TIMING Sending your email at the right time is the final element contributing to its success. There’s no magic time to send emails as it varies depending on your audience. Think about who you’re sending your email to and when would best suit them. For example, if the majority of your client base are professionals, it may be best to email them just after 5:00pm when they’re on their way home from work and checking their personal emails. Email marketing tools such as MailChimp can help choose the right time by looking at your client list and determining the best time for them to receive your message
"
“Think about your relationship with your clients as well as your business personality.”
THE REVIEW Before you hit send, take a few minutes to review your email. This email represents your business and you want to put your best foot forward. Check the subject line, preview text and body content for spelling, grammar and punctuation. Ensure your email flows

THE DESIGN Ensuring your email is visually exciting is a key component of a great email. Images can make your email more engaging, but too many can create a visual nightmare. A good way to overcome this issue is to use images that contribute to the message, not the design. Effectively using white space can help too. The idea is to carefully use text, headings, colour and imagery so there’s still plenty of clean white space surrounding those elements. This makes it easier for a readers eyes to take in the email and focus on what’s important the message you’ve written in the email.
PHOTOGRAPHY: Supplied.
THE TESTING Congratulations! You’ve written and sent a great email. That’s not the end though. Check the performance of your email by looking at key measures, like open rates and click rates, and consider how you could improve them for next time. If your click rate is lower than you would like, think about how you could improve your call-to-action, or if your open rate was low, try sending your next email at a different time of day, or changing up your subject line and preview text. Many email marketing platforms have A/B testing functionality, which allows you to test the same email with one change (such as a different subject line) without having to send a new campaign. Consider these ten things to ensure you’re sending your clients great emails they look forward to receiving and help you achieve your goals.

“From the 126 rooms and suites, to the restuarants and pool, everything at Hotel Metropole is dedicated to the pleasures in life.”
ne of the most prestigious addresses in Monaco, in the Carré d’Or overlooking the Mediterranean, lies a luxury hotel from another era. Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo has a unique atmosphere steeped in history and soul, and this is where Spa Metropole by Givenchy resides.
SOPHISTICATED CHARM The palace was built in 1889 in the purest Belle époque style. It was fully renovated in 2004 under the direction of French designer Jacques Garcia, who knew how to preserve its Mediterranean charm while giving it a new lease on life that combines sophistication and true delights for the senses. From the 126 rooms and suites, to the restaurants and pool, everything at Hotel Metropole is dedicated to the pleasures in life. Hotel artistic director, Perrine Guyonnet, creates seasonal floral displays in the hotel, dubbed the “Metropole Mood”, including flower-filled birdcages suspended from the ceiling, or a full-size cherry blossom tree in the lobby.
SUMPTOUS RETREAT Designed by architect Didier Gomez, Spa Metropole by Givenchy reflects the House’s sophistication and modernity down to every last detail. The entrance sets the tone with its marble finish and proportions accentuated by sleek, bold, black lines. Contemporary materials can be found alongside a digital plant wall throughout the interior for absolute serenity. The corridor leading to the treatment rooms offers an immersive experience in which an unexpected encounter with nature is heightened by a subtle play of light, creating a vibrant and intimate atmosphere.
TOUCH OF LUXURY All ten treatment rooms are decorated in nuanced shades of white, with embossed walls that evoke the lace of haute couture gowns. These include a double suite and a single suite equipped with a bath and private hammam. For a touch of luxury, guests may choose a fragrance to accompany them throughout their experience. This is sprayed on a tissue in the pocket of their bathrobe or on the massage table. All treatments and massages end with a refreshing ritual using cryotherapy technology, for a gentle way to prolong this moment of serenity.
AN ESCAPE The spa offers a “Heat Experience” package, which includes the sauna, hammam, caldarium, ice fountain and sensory showers. The background music was created by Béatrice Ardisson to accompany and personalise the experience in the treatment rooms, where guests can choose a playlist based on their own

The Brides (Head) Revisited Sharleen Singh explains how you can help brides during the most magical yet stressful moment in anyone’s life
TALK IT OUT The key to a good marriage is great communication, so it’s a no brainer that the key to great skin starts with a conversation. Consultations are key in working out what you need to achieve, and a fantastic way to manage your bride’s expectations. For example, for the bride who comes in the week before her wedding, it’s impossible to resolve any serious skin issues in one session. That’s why a thorough consultation is key, starting with a skin diagnosis device to offer something that your client can truly “see”. A consultation is also a great way to map out what your client needs and organise a comprehensive programme for the upcoming months or weeks. And for the bride that pops in the week before her wedding? Offer a relaxation treatment and maintenance, such as nails, brows and waxing, and make her feel rested and ready for the big day. 120 HEADWAY.NET.NZ
LET THERE BE LIGHT With LED light therapy, whether you’ve experienced it or not, the benefits for your brides are second to none. What better way to achieve a bridal glow than by using a literal glow itself? Not to be confused with laser, light therapy was originally developed to fast-track the healing of wounds and post-surgery scars. The amazing effects on skin was a fantastic coincidence. Other than achieving a clearer, brighter and smoother complexion, clients will experience plumped and hydrated complexions, making it a perfect canvas for makeup application. This is because of stimulated cellular activity, which increases blood flow and leads to greater tissue oxygenation and detoxification. For best results, a course is recommended, so book your brides in for an 8-week programme in the lead-up to the big day. There are many different machines on the market, so it’ll pay to do your research to see what would work for your business. A bridal glow is attainable in no time! LOTIONS AND POTIONS Chances are that your bridal clients have already locked in a fitness regime and diet plan, which goes hand-in-hand on the journey to amazing skin. However,
it’s important to be able to offer products that can keep skin stress and blemishfree for the big day. Arm your clients with a brightening range and clay-based mask to do spot treatments the night before, and a mist to offer a boost of hydration after a long day. For a more wellness-based option, try a relaxing essential oil for the night before. There are a multitude of possibilities within your existing skin care lines, however it may be time to branch out to make the most of this full-of-romance industry.
ICING ON THE CAKE: • Create bridal party thank you packs full of skin care goodies and pampering essentials for brides to gift their bride tribe. • Offer a couples de-stress package for before, after, and post-honeymoon, to allow a moment’s rest for the new couple. • Create a hen’s night event in-spa, with mini treatments, bubbles, delicious food and demo’s. • With the wedding rings in full spotlight, ensure your brides walk out of the salon with immaculate nails and a nourishing hand cream.

eddings are a wonderful thing, however it can quite understandably be a crazy-beautiful time for any bride-to-be.

Between the Sheets Sharleen Singh explores the in’s and out’s of the sheet mask craze
T
Trendsetter Originating in Korea, sheet masks were used to purely brighten and hydrate skin and came in an array of novelty designs. However, in the last couple of years the list of benefits has expanded to firming, pigmentation reduction, skin re-invigoration, collagen delivery and tanning. The
2 1
list is endless! These masks also range from covering the full face, to specific areas such as lips, and even offer special under-eye masks. The material used has vastly changed from silk and rubber to organic materials, as well as improvements in the technology behind it. These single-use masks are here to make an impact.
The theory behind these masks is that the temperature of the skin increases moisture levels, releasing the product within the mask. These nutrients then enter the skin, allowing for an instant serum to work its magic, which is why they are so perfect after a treatment or before an event.
Fast Beauty
It may not just be consumers that are reaping the benefits of these masks. Sheet masks are an excellent add-on in any salon, especially for cooling-off after injectable treatments, needling or microdermabrasion. Eye masks are also a beneficial tool after lash extensions and other essential eye services. It’s time to consider adding these masks as a homecare option after treatments, or as an add-on to a facial. The demand is out there, #SheetMaskSelfies are definitely a thing on Instagram, and spotting them being used on a plane is now the norm this craze is here to stay.
The nature of these masks allow for a quick turnaround, especially for timepoor clients in need of a quick-fix before heading out to an event. The fact is that in today’s world, there is a real need for treatments that are essentially multitaskers for the skin.

here’s nothing quite like applying a mask to give skin a bit of oomph after a long week, and it’s no surprise to see this essential evolve from the original Korean sheet masks to what we see today. Statistics show that the Asia Pacific beauty and personal care products market was valued at USD$143.64 billion in 2017, so we should be looking at this market as a true indication of the next big thing.
LEADER IN SCIENTIFIC SKINCARE TECHNOLOGY The Australian-made LaGaia Unedited skin and body range offers people real, measurable results, from active, concentrated ingredients formulated with leading cosmetic scientists. Products are designed to bring your skin back to its optimal pH balance, hydrate and protect skin down to cellular level while boosting cell productivity to help skin act younger at its deepest layers. “LUE is a dramatic breakaway from traditional beauty treatments that prescribe different formulas for different skin types,” says founder Dr Jean Laing. “All skin types, ages and genders need a healthy pH balance to maintain health and youthfulness.” LUE takes a ‘less is more’ approach to give the skin what it needs most—less fragrance, less chemicals and more naturally occurring ingredients like sodium hyaluronate to provide continuous moisture, essential vitamins A, C and E, and minerals that boost cell function.

ike everyone, we were a little obsessed with the colour of Meghan Markle’s nails the day she married Harry. The debate sparked headlines all over the world, with nailfixated beauty editors asking, “Is this the colour Meghan wore?” Some even stated that the colour was chosen by the Queen herself – not sure about that one but made for a good headline. Whatever the end decision was (Ballet Slippers by Essie seems to be the fave) and whatever the actual confirmed colour used (was never officially announced as is royal protocol), all anyone really needs to know this season is that nude is no longer in favour and nail art is back and in a big way. Move over ballet girls, it’s carnival time! The nail colours displayed in the S/S 2018 shows at the beginning of the year were riotous and fun. Floral designs welcomed in the blossoms and vibrant pastels brought a space-age feel to traditional sorbet colours. The botanical theme, that has every millennial discovering what Nana used to treasure in her front room (who would have thought fruit salad plants would be back in
favour), has extended into pretty petal art. Predictably, with this trend for new brights the 80s were back in full force, with graffiti nails showing up on the catwalk and in the front row. We always have runway favourites and @misspopnails did a spectacular job of displaying everything good about the wild nail pop art trend, the ‘circus life’ look and the glittering comet trail nails at @ jeremyscott Painted toes, whilst not so apparent on the catwalk, are also back in the spotlight as the weather gets warmer. As sandals are dusted off, don’t forget what joy a beautiful pedicure can bring to your client. Often nail artists reserve the bulk of their talent for adorning the hands but as the sun comes out again, nothing complements a glowing tan better than a bronze shimmer, a snowy white or an electric blue tootsie. Don’t forget the Pantone colour of year – violet – as well. Chilled-out purples are in for hair this spring so stick with the royal theme and give your clients the ultimate ‘Prince’ experience this season with a topto-toe purple haze.
Ask the expert HEADWAY SPEAKS TO CHERYL COOKE, NZ OPI EDUCATOR FOR THE LATEST NAIL NEWS…
WHAT ARE THE BIG COLOUR TRENDS FOR THE SPRING/SUMMER SEASON?
WHAT IS TRENDING IN TERMS OF THE SHAPE OF NAILS RIGHT NOW?
Bright is back for summer which will be welcomed by all, especially for pedicure services where clients become more bold! Pink and orange superbrights will be the stars, although teamed with sheers and nudes more so on the hands, making them wearable for any occasion that arises.
Both mid-length and shorter nails will be on the scene this summer, with coffin shape the go-to if you enjoy some length as it’s such an elegant look. However, for those who prefer a more wearable length, then a natural squoval will flatter this season’s trends perfectly.
WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE NAIL LOOK CURRENTLY? I’m loving adding a metallic edge right now. The creamy shades of OPI Peru are perfect for teaming with OPI Chrome Effects to easily add depth to any design. It doesn’t have to be full-on chrome nails, just blending a hint of iridescent makes all the difference.

EAT BEAUTIFUL This spring Headway speaks to someone the beauty team have found inspirational for many years makeup artist and beauty expert Wendy Rowe, an established and highly sought-after talent and trusted trendsetter. A relaxed and easy person to deal with, her style reflects her professionalism and warmth…a delight.
@WENDYROWE
it’s what I’m known for, so now I’m able to give them all of my tips in one go. Everything in Eat Beautiful is simple and achievable - it’s really easy for everyone to incorporate into their daily life What is your favourite tip for beautiful skin from the inside out? There are three main tips that will make a big difference to your skin. 1. Eat fresh, seasonal produce - lots of vegetables! 2. Move the body in some form: work out, walk, take the stairs, practise yoga - whatever you enjoy but be sure to keep active somehow 3. Get into a good skincare routine. It doesn’t have to be complicated, but be sure to remove your makeup before bed and make sure your skin is properly clean. Check out my YouTube channel if you want tips on this. I’ve got a simple tutorial on how to cleanse and how to hydrate your skin properly - it makes a massive difference How important is the food we eat for our skin? So important! If you eat a healthy, balanced diet rich in fresh vegetables and produce that is organic and available for the season naturally, not only will it be cheaper than eating imported produce that’s been flown around the world, it’ll also contain the nutrients that your body needs at that time of year to help the skin look its best. If you prepare your meals from scratch yourself and avoid processed foods, you’ll notice a big difference too because processed foods
128 HEADWAY.NET.NZ
are often full of preservatives, sugars and salt which are skin enemies! If you are cooking fresh, seasonal food yourself, it will be so much more delicious and better for you, and it can be superquick and easy to do too. I have a hectic schedule and I’m very short on time so everything in Eat Beautiful had to be easy! Favourite spring makeup look? For spring, keep your makeup fresh and dewy. Look for a lightweight formula for foundation - or use a tinted moisturiser - and try using cream textured products. I love cream blush or something that doubles up for both lip and cheek. Try my La Bouche Rouge Lipstick in Innocent Red; it’s great for dabbing on the lips and cheeks for a fresh flush of colour What is your everyday skincare routine? And when you go out? In the mornings, I wash my face with water, I apply a toning mist followed by a moisturiser and an eye cream. It depends on my skin and how it’s feeling, but I love Sarah Chapman’s skincare. Su-Man does some great skincare and also Joelle Ciocco. They are all facialists that I trust and I know I can rely on their skincare products
PHOTOGRAPHY Supplied
How did you come up with the concept for Eat Beautiful? I’ve always been passionate about amazing skin and it was when I lived in Paris in my twenties that I really made a reconnection between the importance of eating fresh, seasonal produce and the benefits to the skin, because I noticed the positive impact on my own skin and also on the way I looked and felt. Since then, over the years, I’ve researched lots of different skin remedies. I’ve invented seasonal skin-boosting recipes that I love and received tips from friends and industry experts, so writing Eat Beautiful was a natural progression for me. It contains all of my tips and tricks in one place and is something I refer to all the time myself at home. People always ask me how to achieve amazing skin because
I really made a reconnection between the importance of eating fresh, seasonal produce and the benefits to the skin”.
How would you describe your personal fashion style? My style is inspired by school uniforms, which means traditional shapes and old school stuff like tailored pants, knits, shirts, loafers, brogues and loose fitting blazers or jackets. I like for things to have a military or sporty edge to them and for colours to be easy to mix and match – blues, greys, khaki, navy and black. If I’m going to buy a dress it needs to be pretty major!
too. It gives me hydration and glossiness without making my hair too heavy or feeling like it’s got product in it. In my kit, I have pretty much everything you could imagine, skincare and makeupwise, but one thing I love is Makeup Forever’s Flash Palette. It’s a palette of coloured creams, and I can create anything with it; from a creamy brown eye makeup look, a red lip, to a crazy colourful editorial look. It’s one of my go-to essentials.
What hair and beauty products do you always have in your kit? Beauty-wise, for myself, I love Sarah Chapman’s Skin Insurance, Burberry Face Contour Pen, Max Factor 2000 Calorie Waterproof Mascara and Joelle Ciocco skincare, and I love Susanne Kaufman’s body products. For hair, I love all of Sam McKnight’s hair products, especially his Cool Girl Spray which works so well on my fine hair. I am really into the Kerluxe haircare range
Most memorable clients and/or projects? I’ve been really lucky to have worked with lots of amazing models, actresses, photographers, stylists and clients over the course of my career that it’s impossible to pick just one! A lot of people say they have had a breakthrough defining moment in their career, but for me, it’s been a very steady progression. I do remember thinking when I first started working with photographer
Camilla Akrans that she would be instrumental in my career, and I was right. I have created some of my favourite work with her over the years and I still love working with her today. Who is your ultimate beauty icon? Again, I can’t possibly pick just one! Everyone that I work with is inspiring to me. I tend to work with a lot of regular clients and it’s because we are a good fit. I admire their style and their ethos and find them iconic and inspirational, and they like working with me too so it just works. We have a shared vision and interpretation of what beauty means What is your favourite beauty secret/tip? Don’t be afraid to experiment with makeup - it’s not permanent, so if you don’t like it you can always take it off. Probably my biggest tip for everyone is to remember to remove your makeup properly before bed. It’s so important! HEADWAY.NET.NZ 129

INGREDIENTS This issue, we introduce a new feature as we look at ingredient trends and developments across the beauty industry and parallels with what is happening in other health & wellbeing sectors…
Clean beauty…kale still rates Clean beauty products free of ingredients perceived as harmful such as silicones, parabens and sulfates continue to dominate in the second half of 2018. Consumers are doing more and more 130 HEADWAY.NET.NZ
research and they are more in tune with the latest ingredients. Smartphone apps can provide clients with instant access into the safety of products and ingredients. Clean beauty brands and advocates (Goop is probably the most well-known) predict an even greater shift toward plant-based products, as well as embracing the materials in the packaging of their products. An increase in brands developing and producing products that contain ingredients such as kale, algae and spinach, which have a positive effect on our bodies and minds, is forecast and shopping small is a new buzzword. Shopping small simply means buying locally-made, locally-sourced and small-batch products. What was once a trend is now becoming a lifestyle choice for many. The future… It has been suggested that there will be a move toward less water in products, given that demand could outstrip supply. What will this mean for the beauty market? We will keep you posted on our findings next issue. If you have any feedback regarding ingredients, sustainability and what you think will be the next big thing for 2019, we would love to hear from you for our summer edition E info@headway.co.nz

Beauty starts at the lab…and the farm With an increase in skincare products including organic or plant-based ingredients, this trend has an impact on the food market. As more and more ranges include spices (turmeric), organic oils (olive) and a myriad of edible products (sugar) the line between food and beauty products gets more and more blurred. Weather, soil, wind and rain are all part of the bigger picture for our products in-salon, alongside carbon footprints and sustainable packaging. Brands that rely on signature ingredients are at the greatest risk when facing global crop shortages – look at the issues around jojoba and rosehip oil in the past. The answer for many natural brands has been vertical integration by basing businesses on farms which can function as labs as well. We are now hearing about biodynamic beauty, pioneering into farm-to-face products and for the mainstream brands, a convergence with next-gen farms that do not rely on the weather for production.

Supplements can be a skin life-saver. Sharleen Singh discovers why
T
opical lotions and treatments help skin on the outside, but what about beauty that truly shines from the inside out? One word: supplements. According to specialists, the belief is that topical products only address 20% of the skin. That’s why supplements are more of a support system than an alternative to treatments and products for homecare. Serums and creams work on the epidermis of the skin, whereas supplements work directly on the dermis. Therefore by using both, you boost both inner and outer layers of the skin, achieving optimum results. We’ve heard of the usual suspects, Evening Primrose Oil to Omega Oil. There is also the fact that regardless of how healthy your diet is, there are some nutrients you don’t get from food. With technological advancements in the beauty industry, you’ll find a new breed of supplements for every 132 HEADWAY.NET.NZ
skin type, concern and need. These supplements are absorbed directly into the bloodstream, where nutrients make their way around our bodies to work wonders on our hair, nails and even eyes. This in turn spreads its magic to our skin, leading to a wonderful glow from the inside out. Research has shown that collagen production decreases by roughly one percent each year after the age of twenty. So by the time you’re 50 years old, your collagen production is only 70 percent of what it was when you were in your teens. This is where supplements truly shine. While different supplements work in varying ways, the overall effects are similar. In short, skin supportive supplements revitalise and rejuvenate your skin by improving the health of your skin cells and helping to produce more crucial proteins like collagen.

A Natural Star Headway speaks to Nandika Singh about her recent triumph at The Skin Games in San Francisco and what she loves about being a third generation beauty professional
How did your journey into the beauty industry begin? It began a long time ago, it’s like learning how to speak in your mother tongue. You don’t remember how you learnt it, you just all of a sudden knew! My grandma, Geeta, opened up the first clinic ever in Fiji where she offered services like herbal facials and milk baths so women could feel confident in their own skin. She used her knowledge from growing up in India and created her own skincare line which she successfully used and sold from her clinic to help women feel good. Naturally my mother fell into the same line and my parents grew this small business into Fiji’s leading day spa and skin clinic today. Being the third generation beauty therapist, I guess it was natural for me too. I completed my studies at Elite International under some amazing tutors and started my career from there. How did it feel to come second in the world in the Acne/Problematic Skin category at The Skin Games? Wow, placing second was such a shock. I was going up against some very talented and passionate women who have been in the business for 10 or more years. I felt like such a rookie when I arrived. It honestly felt amazing, and it felt right.

@MALKIABEAUTYNZ
How was the experience overall? The experience was like being in Hollywood. The red carpet, the personalities, the entire awards night! It was like being at the Golden Globes. Why did you choose to enter the Acne/Problematic Skin category? I chose this category because it is very close to my heart. I suffered from acne for 9 years and know what it feels like. I’ve heard every comment imaginable about my skin. It’s heartbreaking and I knew I would change someone’s life in applying for The Skin Games.
inflame and spread. Or it could be something more complicated, related to the gut or liver.
Can you tell us about the treatments and products it took to achieve those amazing results? There were so many different treatments we did, not only from the outside but inside too. We focused on diet, stress relief, and supplements to help create the good working skin we wanted. Topically, we used Environ products for her home care regime. We did peels from this range with some infusions, where we really got to infuse some beneficial ingredients to help resolve issues for Juliette. We also did a lot of Omnilux light treatments that worked a treat hand-in-hand.
What skin tips and routines do you recommend for spring? Spring is such a beautiful time of yearit’s my favourite! Remember, just like your change of wardrobe each season, your skin too will require a slightly different regime. I can’t suggest any tips because I truly believe it’s so different for each individual person and what I recommend for one may not work for the other. However, I recommend having a chat to your skin therapist and explain how your skin is feeling so they can recommend a treatment or a new spring addition for your home care. As clients, I encourage you to learn as much as you can about YOUR skin from your therapist. You need to understand why you’re doing a particular thing and what changes it will cause to your skin, or your cells. No question is annoying.
What do you think are the main causes of acne/problematic skin? I don’t believe that there is a general main cause. But I do believe that there can be a main cause for an individual person once I find out a bit about their lifestyle through our consultation. It could be as simple as using the incorrect prescription home care regime, which would cause the acne that’s there to
What is your personal daily beauty routine? It starts with a big glass of water, nutritious breakfast and my supplements. Then cleansing, serums, moisturiser and eye gel. I never thought I’d say it after years of hating my skin, but I love the way my skin feels and looks and it truly does a great deal for my self-confidence. malkiabeauty.co.nz HEADWAY.NET.NZ 135
Beauty | APPEAR ANCE MEDICINE
The Skull, The Skill & The Studies
Dr Catherine Stone and Senior Cosmedicine Nurse Emma Lindley of The Face Place attended the annual ASAPS (Australasian Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons) Non-Surgical Symposium on the Gold Coast in June. The event is one of Dr Cat’s favourite of the many global conferences and training symposiums she attends. Here are Dr Cat’s top five takes from the information-fuelled weekend symposium: Number One: One of the most fascinating presentations was by Dr Luis Avelar on the anatomical differentiation between men and women’s facial bone structure and thus the difference in how men and women age and how they should be treated in-clinic. Male and female skulls not only look different, they age differently. This is important in facial ageing because bone is the foundation of our appearance. ‘Beautiful’ people will generally have beautifully formed skulls. Dr Luis Avelar did a study of 241 skulls in Brazil and analysed them according to gender and age. In skulls of the same age and ethnic background, he was able to show that the female forehead is more vertical and rounder, while the male forehead is flatter, with a bony 136 HEADWAY.NET.NZ
prominence just above the eyes called ‘frontal bossing’, and a more closed angle between the nose and forehead. Women also have a flatter, slightly curved angle between the nose and forehead. When we provide filler treatments into the forehead, we need to ensure that we keep men looking like men and women looking like women. As we age, we often lose volume in the forehead which can make a woman appear more masculine by creating shadows that make her look like she has some frontal bossing. Often a small amount of filler into the forehead can soften this, helping her look both younger and more feminine. We can treat men in a similar way but need to ensure that their forehead remains sloped and they have some frontal bossing remaining, otherwise they can look feminised and over-treated. Note that forehead filler is an advanced technique and should only be attempted by an experienced clinician, as it is one of the high-risk areas for blindness. The sexual dimorphism of the frown area is also why we don’t like to completely get rid of the forehead lines in men - we still want them to look a little bit rugged. From the front, the eye sockets are squarer in a man and rounder in a woman, and women have rounder, more prominent mid-facial bones. Men have a flatter, more angled mid-face, and prominent cheek bones

towards the sides of the face. When filling the mid-face in men, we want to ensure we don’t ‘project’ or round out the midface and cheeks like we do in women, as it is a sure-fire way to make a man look more feminine. We may do a small amount of filler on the male mid-face if they have lost the deep medial fat pads, but our focus is more likely to be on the cheek bones (which sit lower and are more angular than in women) and jawline. In the lower face, the lower jaw bone (mandible) is squarer and larger in a man - men are much larger in this third of the face - while women tend to have a smaller jaw bone and more balanced horizontal thirds of the face. In both men and women, the mid-face collapses in and the jawbone shrinks as we age. As the jawbone shrinks, men can start to look more feminine as the proportions approach those of the female-balanced thirds of the skull. Loss of a defined jawline also contributes to the feminising of the face as men age. We can use filler to strengthen the jaw, chin and cheekbones in a man to help them retain or attain a masculine look, while we might focus on the mid-face, cheeks, temples, forehead and lips on a woman to help her look more beautiful, balanced and refreshed. Number Two: The first case of filler-related blindness in Australia occurred less than a month ago and was discussed in the final panel session. It was almost identical to the first case of filler-related blindness in New Zealand last year. In both instances it was performed by a nurse working remotely (this time in a different city) from their oversight doctor, and the nose was injected with a cannula. In both cases, treatment with Hyalase at the hospital was delayed for more than four hours. The filler needs to be dissolved with Hyalase within 90 minutes - or ideally 30 minutes - to reverse the blockage to the main blood vessel to the eye that causes the blindness. At The Face Place, we have been discussing this risk with clients for many years. We take precautions, such as aspirating before injecting in certain areas, and we inject small amounts and slowly, which is thought to risk or limit the chance of blocking a blood vessel. We also have a full written protocol in place in the rare instance that we have a case of blindness with filler, kits with everything you need in every injecting room, and we regularly practice role play with the aim to get any affected patient to an eye specialist within 30 minutes, with Hyalase already injected and more going with the patient so that the eye specialist only needs to inject. We were delighted to learn that we have a protocol in place that is over and above what was recommended in
“When we provide filler treatments into the forehead, we need to ensure that we keep men looking like men and women looking like women”.
the discussion, and we are actively encouraging other clinicians to do the same. Number Three: Taiwanese plastic surgeon, Mr Peter Huang, presented an interesting technique using local anaesthetic to relax the platysma muscle in the neck to determine whether a patient has jowls due to the muscle pulling down, in which case it can be treated with Botox. If it is due to volume loss in the jawline, it can be treated with filler, or if it is due to the fat pads in the neck, it may be be treated with Belkyra or liposuction. This is an interesting concept and one we still need to trial at The Face Place. Number Four: Peter Huang also presented his ‘True Lift®’ technique which utilises the true retaining ligaments of the face (the ultra-strong ligaments that go from bone to skin and hold the face together) and supporting just underneath the ligament to create a facial lift with a minimum amount of product. This is very similar to the 8 Point Lift concept, except he treats the brow, two points along the cheek bone, the base of the nose, and the area next to the jowl. We will trial this technique at the next team training day to see if it is a tool we would like to add to our options. Number Five: Stephen Eddey gave a presentation on Natural Medicines that have been studied and shown to reduce wrinkles and increase skin texture. • 12 weeks of daily supplementation with 50 - 150mg of Coenzyme Q10 significantly reduced wrinkles and lines and increased skin smoothness. • Nicotinamide (Vitamin B3) enhanced DNA repair and reduced UV radiation-induced suppression of skin immune responses. It also helped with restoring cellular energy levels after UV exposure. • Alpha Lipoic Acid reduced facial lines and improved skin colour and texture • Borage Officinalis was shown to reduce wrinkle formation and improve skin hydration and collagen synthesis. • Korean Ginseng can be used to protect against UV radiation induced skin damage and may increase epidermal thickness. • Pomegranate juice concentrate is great for fat loss and gut health, as well as wrinkles, and helps with glutathione production. • EGCG, found in Green Tea extract, increased collagen production and thickened the dermis. These natural medicines may be a great dietary addition to ongoing Botox maintenance.

BACK TO SCHOOL SURGERY With teenage plastic surgery on the rise, guidelines and studies are needed for a market which previously did not exist. Headway looks at current statistics and some of the motivation behind this growing patient base.
PHOTOGRAPHY Shutterstock
A
ccording to statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) approximately 229,000 cosmetic procedures were performed on patients aged 13 to 19 in 2017. Currently, teenagers account for four percent of all cosmetic surgery procedures in the US. In a digital age of selfies and social media sharing, a number of teenagers are undergoing plastic surgery to change their appearance due to celebrity worship and wanting to ‘fit in’. The phrase ‘just because you can doesn’t mean you should’ was quoted and plastic surgeons in the US are developing new guidelines on how to approach the most common procedures being requested by patients in this age group. It is agreed that social media appears to be the main motivator for the increase in plastic surgery for teens but there are other reasons as well. A health concern or fixing a feature that has made them vulnerable to bullying are also two significant reasons. Board-certified plastic surgeons Rod J. Rohrich, M.D. and Min-Jeong Cho, M.D. of the Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute found that very few guidelines are in place to ensure teen plastic surgeries are performed appropriately. “Despite its growing popularity, guidelines and outcome studies for teenage plastic surgery have previously not existed,” explains Dr. Cho. “Our research exposed a need for stringent guidelines, particularly when it comes to determining when a procedure is appropriate to perform and the recommended age for
each procedure, so that’s what we set out to deliver.” The question of whether a teenager is emotionally ready for plastic surgery is also being evaluated. There are a few indicated plastic surgery procedures for adolescents. These include rhinoplasty for cleft lip, breast reduction for symptomatic macromastia, otoplasty for prominent ears and breast augmentation for congenital breast absence or severe asymmetry. These procedures have been extensively studied and the benefits of performing them during teenage years is evident. Other studies have a mixture of ages of adults and adolescents so it is difficult to separate the patient outcomes, or it could be a study which included children and adolescents, not specifically a dedicated group of adolescents. Presently, ASPS recommends parental consent for all plastic surgery procedures on teens younger than 18 years and advise parents to evaluate the teenager’s physical and emotional maturity. There is no doubt the decisionmaking process for a teenager lacks the wisdom of the adult brain that considers risks, benefits and long-term consequences of their actions. There is also no doubt that the pressure of social media is a major contributing factor to the rise in plastic surgery for these teens. What is also certain is the safety of performing plastic surgery on this group is not well studied and the ‘just because you can doesn’t mean you should’ school of thought reflects the current dilemma perfectly.

THE POWER of a ‘good’ dose of colour…
Anne O’Brien looks at colour as part of our therapy. Recognised for its healing properties for centuries, she asks how important is colour when we’re looking to renovate or open a new salon?
PHOTOGRAPHY Shutterstock
A
sk any small child, or even look at their latest fashion ensemble for the day, and the preference may be blindingly obvious - what their favourite colour is and they will give a firm and resounding answer. As humans we are naturally drawn to what makes us feel good and colour plays a major part in this emotional response. The response is innate and therefore there is no coincidence that hospitals, restaurants and packaging are carefully designed to ensure this reaction is as appropriate and as close to the desired effect of the location or product as possible. It is logical that as business owners, we need to be mindful of these choices as well and avoid colours that may encourage a negative reaction to our space. We should also look at perhaps changing certain areas in our business to reflect the impact that colour has on the brain to our advantage. It is no coincidence for instance that red is a dominant colour around holidays and celebrations, as it immediately releases adrenalin into the system that makes us want to act. Let’s look at three colours and see how they affect the brain.
Orange Orange is great place to start as it is not associated with a single emotion but has a multi-effect on the brain. Firstly, it makes us feel warm. Unlike red, which we associate with fire, orange is more relaxing on the muscles and whether or not the space we are in is warm, we immediately assume the temperature is higher than it is. Have a cold space in your salon? Add some pops of orange or paint a feature wall in a shade of orange. This will change the feel of the space immediately and act as an instant area to relax in rather than shy away from. Professors of colour (yes this is a degree) found that the effect of orange has a weakening effect on muscle function, effectively relaxing the body in a way that can actually be measured. Yellow Yellow is associated with feelings of friendliness, joy and openness. One of the strongest colours in the spectrum, it is associated with self-esteem and creativity and is the closest colour associated with our feeling of happiness – perhaps why emoji’s are yellow? Yes indeed. This is a great colour to have in your retail area and also recommended on days that you are feeling perhaps a little uninspired yourself. Does the fact that sunshine and daffodils make us feel so good sound familiar?
Green Green is associated with growth and encouraged as a great colour for workspaces as it enhances productivity. A good colour for the lunchroom or where you hold your staff meetings. It is linked with higher thinking and creativity but also gives us a sense of calm. When we see green we instantly think of nature so it’s a great colour for those whose business is more a naturality-based spa than clinic. Green conjures up growth or change, which for clients who are seeking a totally new look or are beginning a journey towards a more healthy skin is perfect. Other colours to think about – blue reduces blood pressure and is a symbol of peace; purple can tense muscles rather than relax them, and pink is so powerful at reducing aggressive behaviour that 20% of prisons in Switzerland have a pink cell specifically for highly agitated inmates. Whatever your favourite colour, it is worth considering what affect your preference has when thinking about your décor or collateral. Introducing small changes rather than a complete Rio look may be a good way to see if you can control behaviours with subtle environmental changes. Have fun. HEADWAY.NET.NZ 141

How To Create A Positive Morning Routine We speak to success coach, Annabelle Matson, about creating a morning routine that will see your day and ultimately your life, flow with greater ease and positivity.
@ANNABELLEMATSON
STEP 1: Consider what would be your ideal way to start the day. Here are some ideas: • Meditation • Standing outside and watching the sun rise • Breathing exercises • Visualisation • Writing in your journal • Taking the time to do your hair and makeup in a way that makes you feel good • Reading an inspiring book • Exercise • Preparing a healthy breakfast • Sitting down with a cup of tea and being mindful and present • Writing out an intention for the day or affirmations • Listening to an inspiring podcast
STEP 2: What is one “must have” item. This is something that needs to happen and is non-negotiable. Then have two “nice to have” items; good to do but no stress if they don’t happen There will be times when things come up, when your child is sick or a project needs more of your time and that’s okay. 142 HEADWAY.NET.NZ
Focus on getting your top item done, so you are still setting yourself up for a great day ahead. If you have more time, as a bonus you can fit in your other two as well, but if not, at least you’ve taken some time to set your day up successfully.
STEP 3: Consider what needs to happen to make sure you actually implement a morning routine. What time do you need to get up? What action can you put in place to make sure it sticks? For example: Put your gym gear next to your bed, set up a corner in your house for meditation or journaling, ask your partner to wake the kids so you can have 5 minutes to do something just for you. A morning routine sends you springing into the day with positive vibes. Your day will unfold very differently when you choose to give to yourself first. Whether you take 5 minutes or 2 hours, what matters most is that you’ve been intentional about creating some time and space for yourself, so you show up each day as the best version of you.

Your environment says a lot about your state of confidence in life. Clean, open, soulnourishing spaces give your body and mind room to breathe, grow, keep perspective and carry you well through life. Your surroundings significantly impact your attitudes, experience of life and happiness and can dictate the base level of stress you may experience each day. When you are in a simple, clean, organised and bright space you tap into your productive, motivated and more energetic self which lifts life to new heights. The art and mastery of the skill, simplicity, is one of the most valuable and yet most underrated qualities you can strive for and embrace in life. Many live in a world of “stuffocation”. Simplicity represents clarity, presence and freedom from effort. It allows you to clear your mind so you can continue on your journey with confidence and live a life free of drainers. In this state, we open the gates of opportunity and
great attitude as we have a solid, basic, well-functioning structure and lifestyle that is adaptable to change. The very idea of living an uncluttered and simplified life with less stuff immediately makes our minds feel less trapped. The benefits of owning far fewer possessions mean there is less to worry about, look after, clean, organise, and store and most importantly, will assist you with greater economic security and time to foster what you are most passionate about in life. You will find more time, experience some real freedom, grow and be able to focus more on your health and wellbeing and find you create more experiences in your life and live more mindfully. Clutter is stuck energy and is represented as a gradual build-up of items, new and old, precious and pointless. You also have your body that experiences clutter with stuck and old thoughts, many of which sabotage your days and your goals, old and negative beliefs and habits, which all create a low-lying level of weight

and stress in your mind and body as we strive and grow from year to year. A problem we see in today’s world of consumerism is the level of meaning we give to our stuff. We give too much meaning to our things, often at the price of our health, our relationships, our growth, our authentic experiences, our passions, and our desire to contribute and give to others. This is not the formula for a happy and easy life. The decluttering journey can be fun, creative and incredibly rewarding when you gain clarity on what you want to create. Simple, easy living will open up a whole new energy for you and happiness in your life when you just start small and commit to this new essential way of being. Remember, you spend many, many years accumulating and collecting more and more things so it may take a little time to make some decisions on what to keep and what to remove. Remember, longlasting happiness is not created by accumulating stuff, but through life’s journey itself.

TOP TIPS FOR DECLUTTERING
TOP TIPS FOR SIMPLE LIVING
• Make a list and choose a day each month to clean. • Give yourself some structure and deadlines. • Get some help from family and friends. • Decide if it needs a small tidy up, a revamp or overhaul. • Examine what is in your room and cupboards. Does it have meaning still, and purpose? • Ask, is it essential? Does it work? Will I use it? Who am I keeping it for? • File, throw or donate it. • Enhance each space and make it work for you. Is it simple and easy to manage? • Make the space look great for you, bring in nature, and keep things that make your heart sing. • Does it bring joy?
• Clean as you go, one touch policy – don’t move things, put them away. • Prepare for tomorrow today, get things ready and organised the night before. • Set up systems with reminders in your diary for keeping on top of your spaces and routines. • Create as much natural light as possible. • Use a clean, well-structured diary to support you to stay on top of your daily commitments.
• Don’t confuse intent with action! Regularly attending to the practice of keeping life simple, organised and minimal will leave you with a feeling of space to be creative, spontaneous and free. By making small tweaks in your routine to keep on top of it all, you will clear the drainers and allow opportunity to come in the door. The goal of simple essentialist living is to do more with our lives with less worry. To do what is right for us in an easy and effortless way.

Healthy, Well-thy & Wise Sharleen Singh shares her mind, body & soul spring clean at the Healthy, Well-thy & Wise workshop @NADIAMAGAZINE
Q
uietly pleased with myself that my active wear was going to be appropriately used on a Saturday morning, rather than for “running” errands. I made my way to the latest Healthy, Well-thy & Wise workshop hosted by Nadia Lim and the NADIA Magazine team for a morning of yoga, delicious food and an insightful panel. While yoga isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, I am a firm believer in its many benefits, although it was something that I certainly hadn’t done properly for about three years. Unfortunately for me, there was no hiding my uncoordinated self as the sea of yoga mats in the back row had already been nabbed, so I was right in the centre of it all. The charming Kelly Baker, qualified in yoga
medicine and reflexology, led us through a guided session that started gently and worked its way up to really awaken the group – and my muscles! Ending with a meditation session, and judging from the smiles at the end, our group was refreshed and ready for the rest of the morning. After a quick stretch, we made our way out to the welcoming aroma of freshly baked goods, delicious tea and fresh fruit. Nadia Lim, editor at large and a firm believer in eating real food that comes from the ground, sea and sky, had prepared quite the feast, eagerly pounced upon by a post-yoga crowd. After snacking on the beautiful spread, and going back for seconds (and possibly thirds), I managed to speak to the lovely lady of the hour, Nadia herself. We chatted about my attempt at getting back into yoga and examined our selfie together (how could I not!). Nadia truly is a gem, as evidenced by the crowds of people that were amazing cooks thanks to Nadia’s delicious recipes. It was then time for a demo and an insight into the world of nature’s remedies with Annaliese Jones - naturopath, medical herbalist and our wellness guru for the day. A true wealth of knowledge,

we learnt about what to reach for at the slightest sign of a sniffle (garlic), sore throat (sage) or fevers (lemon verbena). We were also given suggestions on how to snack from nature and not a vending machine. Moderated by NADIA editor Vanessa Marshall, we concluded with a Q&A panel, with tips on happiness, sleep habits and general health and wellbeing. We also discussed the gut and how it really is our second brain for immunity. After all, who else feels ill (but not guilty) after an entire bar of chocolate? With gratitude journal in hand, and a list of remedies to buy at the vegie shop in mind, I was ready to take on the rest of the year with a newfound energy. Perhaps they’ll make a yogi out of me yet!
