his edition’s cover is one of my absolute favourites, after 17 years of being with Headway Magazine. It is powerful, inspiring, and beautiful, and unlike anything we have featured before. The story behind the cover is even more special, which you can read about in ‘Ink On Pink’ on page 42. For ten years, David Allen, a Chicago-based tattoo artist, has made it his mission to help women reclaim their femininity after breast cancer, by concealing their mastectomy scars with floral design. This year, ghd celebrates the 15th anniversary of their pink campaign, which has helped raise over $15 million for breast cancer charities globally. David has partnered with ghd for 2019 to create a special styler collection. His story is one of hope, love, and healing and we feel lucky to share his experience with you.

We’re excited to showcase the stunning and unique collections of the New Zealand finalists (and winner of the New Zealand Hairdresser of the Year Award, congratulations Danny Pato, which was announced just as we went to print) from the Hair Expo Awards 2019. Team New Zealand continues to blow us away with their creativity.

This issue, we speak to a variety of hair creatives and beauty professionals, each of whom is inspiring in their own right; from Aussie hair extraordinaire and educator Uros Mikic, through to Rodney Wayne CEO Julie Evans, avant-garde queen Carolyn Gahan, beauty business guru Ashleigh Scott, and success coach Annabelle Matson. I enjoyed reading about Be Managing Director Ryland Wood’s experience at Davines’ annual World Wide Tour, this year held in Iceland, a starkly beautiful destination. With winter being the perfect time for a getaway, we talk to hair, beauty and fashion influencers about their favourite vacation spots and those on their to-do list.

There’s plenty of inspiration to be had thanks to the looks coming off the catwalk: ‘Back To Black’, ‘Trending Now’ and ‘Runway Ready’ feature gorgeous new colours and styles, with feedback from the experts. And, as always, we’ve compiled our favourite hot shots from the Gram in ‘What’s Trending’.

Enjoy your mid-winter getaway and see you in spring.

a twist. Unsatisfied with her career change, Natasha decided to dive head first back into the hairdressing industry, opening her own salon. “I realised if I really wanted to take this seriously, I first had to get myself certified” So, already 13 years into her hairdressing career, Born and bred in the deep South, what could Natasha finally qualified as a hairstylist. “At the have been a geographical disadvantage for heart of why it took me so long to qualify was a a competitive hairstylist didn’t appear to be lack of confidence. This is a hurdle for Natasha. an issue for a lot of people, She won NZ Editorial but I now understand that Stylist of the Year in 2017 hairdressing is a teachable and 2018, a prestigious skill to everyone.

Knowing the win was truly issues, and a skill set that Natasha felt was not up to scratch, she tried to leave the hairdressing i n d u s t r y.

“I went to the freezing works!” she laughs. n the face of it, Natasha King’s story of her career in the hairdressing industry reads like that of someone who was inherently ambitious.

organic was a reward in itself. “There’s no way I could have stacked the votes, I’m from Invercargill!” she laughs. It proved to Natasha that no matter where you’re from, if you work for it you can win it. “What I love about what I do is that it inspires others to give it a go,” she says, earnest in her belief. “Before I won that award, it seemed to be untouchable for a stylist from my background. But someone from Invercargill took out the prize - you don’t have to be a superstar.”

JOINING VIVO Now, Natasha has turned her attention to the next part in her story. Her Invercargill salon, Fred’s, was a phenomenal success, she had won the awards she had set her sights on. When James and Lynden, owners of Vivo Hair & Beauty, offered her the role of Southland Regional Manager, she jumped at the chance. “I’d been in touch with James and Lynden a bit over the years. I’ve picked their brains over industry topics; I respect them and what they’re trying to achieve and establish.

They’re doing things differently.” Earlier this year, Natasha merged Freds into the Vivo group of salons, and is taking her whole team on this new journey.

“Ours has been an unregulated industry, and I admire that the team behind Vivo are raising the standard. I want to support that. They have revolutionised the standards in training and education.” What does she think has made the biggest difference?

“Great hairdressers are getting paid their worth in this company. I think hairstylists need to get more savvy about their business. Within Vivo, you can earn what you’re worth as a hairstylist without any of the stress of salon ownership.

Why wouldn’t I want to be part of that? This is the future of our industry”.

And for someone who knows how to mould her career, it’s no surprise that we find Natasha King riding up front in this new chapter of NZ hairdressing.

“What I love about what I do is that it inspires others to give it a go.”

But, as all good stories go, there was

by Davines International Artistic Team member, Candice McKay, for her new collection, The Factory - a colourful exploration of the 1970’s. Her inspiration came from feeling nostalgic before her 40th birthday and looking through old family photographs. Her joyful and glamorous images are reminiscent of a far more simple time, where society was less jaded and group actions made larger changes in the world.

F

or clients itching to change their hair colour, you won’t be wrong to take your inspiration from the fall/winter 2019/2020 runways. As in every season, the runway gave birth to both extreme and more restrained trends, but there was a focus on more natural colours as opposed to the fashion colours we saw last season. Here are the top six picks for the year…

@lilisumner

Striking Redheads

HAIR focus

It’s hard to forget a redhead, which is why casting directors will almost always book a few auburn models for the shows. This season saw both natural red and a deeper dyed-red, proving that the colour is having a real comeback.

Ethereal redhead, Sara Grace Wallerstedt, continues to be one of the most heavilybooked models in the fashion world, having walked at 30 shows during the fall season. Auburn beauty, Sarah Dahl, presented a different variation on red

hair, and was just as popular, walking for Givenchy, Chanel, and Loewe.

Platinum Hit This platinum is all about messy, Courtney Love-style, platinum-blonde, with a bit of dark root and a lot of sass, so get the bleach out for this ultra-light shade. Lili Sumner, who walked for Eckhaus Latta, Maryam Nassir Zadeh, and Courreges, perfectly embodies this kind of platinum energy. The ‘90s take on platinum hair really stood out at Versace, where the platinums rocked the runway with plenty of attitude.

“Fashion hair colours were more muted, with the pastel tones that have been so popular in recent seasons used more subtly in these collections.”

Colourists have their say…

Wella Professionals Ambassador “When predicting future trends, I always see a progressive evolution of what has been and then move it forward to the next level. Each colour collection has its own trend. For example, the brunettes are luscious, high-gloss looks with loads of shine, perfectly achieved with a colour touch glossing technique.

For winter, earthy copper tones are a must. The new Koleston Perfect with ME+ range has some beautiful tones. With Balayage and highlight services, we’re seeing a rise in baby-lights popularity, with accents of bronde tones and buttercream blondes. Pastel tones have been, and still are, a hit with our platinum blondes, but moving them forward into creating more of a dusty, aged feel is creating a buzz with our technicians.”

Chun Jin

Cinnamon Scholes Toni&Guy, New Zealand

Philipp Haug

Raven Beauty Black locks (which we’ve dedicated a feature to in this edition) or at least brown hair so dark it seems black to the naked eye, was celebrated as one of the ultimate hair colour trends.

Naturally curly or pin-straight, whatever the style, it looked striking. South Sudanese newcomer, Aliet Sarah, who walked for Miu Miu and Givenchy, and Chinese newcomer Chun Jin who walked for Prada, Fendi, and Saint Laurent, showcased how beautiful black hair is.

Former blonde, Lara Mullen, walked the Chloé, McQueen, and Givenchy runways with her new black hair.

Bronde Sitting somewhere between blonde and brown, is a classic hair colour that can be made to lean in one direction or the other depending on the stylist. This was one of the more reserved hair colour trends that many are fortunate to have naturally, and is super-easy to achieve.

Jack Morton Toni&Guy National Technical Director, Australia

Chocolate Brown Joe Cotroneo

Rich and warm, chocolate brown hair is one of the most perfect colour trends this year. This deep brown shade holds a bit of softness and is super-flattering to almost all skin tones. Kaia Gerber sported her glossy, chocolate brown locks on the runways of Chanel, Chloé and Prada, while Léa Julian and her choclocks stomped the runways of Celine, R13, and Valentino

@kaiagerber

Fashion hair colours were more muted, with the pastel tones that have been so popular in recent seasons used more subtly in these collections. Take for instance the colour story at Mary Katrantzou, where touches of pastel tones were used in groups based on the elements, with streaks of pale blue and peach to remind us of clouds and a sunrise horizon.

@marykatrantzou

Pastel Touches

Wella Professionals Colour Director “On a macro-scale, healthy, playful hair with a flow of colour is still in-demand. Clients want it to look expensive and bespoke. On a microscale, silver metallics are evolving into metallic browns, ‘taupe’ and violet silvers. Warmer blondes are taking on a more amber, 70s glow, and inky, blue-browns add drama to graphic bobs. Pink has subtle seasonal differences. For example, warmer, watermelon-pink has become more prominent.

Systems like Wellaplex solve condition concerns and allow hair to lighten brighter than ever. Updated technology, such as that in Wella Koleston Perfect with ME+, means negative reactions are less likely to occur and there is more education on creative ‘freehand’ techniques. We can avoid high-maintenance services and experiment with brighter shades, minus the commitment issues.” headway.net.nz 33

SALON: French Revolver Studio, 139/141 Victoria St West, Auckland, New Zealand SALON OWNER: Brad Lepper SALON DESIGN: Amelia Long and Brad Lepper SALON FURNITURE: Comfortel Furniture PHOTOGRAPHY: Zahn Trotter www.frenchrevolver.com

French T Revolver Studio This elevated oasis of tranquillity and inspiration combines hair, fashion, art and music to create a unique, multi-purpose space @frenchrevolv

36 headway.net.nz

aking inspiration from salon designs in Paris and New York, French Revolver Studio is a hybrid salon that doubles as a creative/wellness space. Created by awardwinning hairstylist, Brad Lepper, the idea was to design a space where various artistic forms merged together - hair, fashion, music and art.

The two-story, open-plan studio features wooden floors, high ceilings, metal accents and brick walls. The quirky salon space also boasts a vintage arcade game, a classic Chesterfield chocolate sofa, industrial light fittings and pops of greenery.

To inspire hair stylists’ creativity, the walls of the salon are constantly changing, giving new life, colour and inspiration from local artists’ collections.

The multi-function salon space also lends itself perfectly to fashion shoots, gallery events and functions, due to its warehouse feel and location in the heart of Auckland’s CBD. “A common overseas trend is creating multi-use spaces, so why not at a hair salon,” says Brad Lepper. “As a business, we want to encourage all types of creativity and wellness, so we converted our loft upstairs, which now doubles as a

photography studio, as well as a yoga studio” To overcome the challenge of changing the main salon space, the entire styling area can be moved aside in order to open up the room. “One of the main things I wanted was a space that could transform for shoots, shows and art installations,” says Lepper. “All our workstations have wheels and can be moved away to create a large studio space.”

Comfortel’s Sienna Mirrors were added to Comfortel’s Mirror Joiner Frame on wheels to allow the stations to move. The matte-black metal steel works perfectly with Comfortel’s industrial style salon chair – Erica - to complete the New York warehouse look. With USB plugs at each station and a dedicated barista area, French Revolver encourages clients to continue working at their space.

If you’re looking to achieve a multi-functioning salon space like French Revolver Studio, here are some helpful hints…

•Consider layout carefully: The layout is particularly important. If your primary business is a salon, consider the items that need to be stationary, such as your wash lounge area. Locate these areas within a part of your space that can be closed off with a privacy panel, door or curtain. Try and keep the rest of the salon as open as possible. Make your reception area, waiting area and styling area all-in-one.

•Mobility: Put everything on wheels. Comfortel have a mirror joiner frame that allows most of their mirror designs to be attached as a double free-standing unit. With the matte metal look, it instantly gives an industrial feel to the space.

•Consider power: Once your stations are in place, the challenge is power. Make it a feature and opt for power from the ceiling that hangs down. Alternatively, put it in the ground with a cover. Comfortel’s new Mova Trolley has ‘Personal Power & USB’ that allows you to operate your electrical tools from the back of trolley. With only one electrical cord plugged into the floor that controls the power, multiple tools can be used (behind the chair).

•Add a small bar or coffee station: With all spaces, a bar or coffee station will work not only for your salon, but also for an event. Make this a feature and source inspiration from local cafes or bars.

•Storage: Create an area where the salon mirrors can be moved to.

This could be where the wash area is. Allow ability to move these items to this area when allocating space.

•Extra bonus: Moveable styling stations allow you to change the layout of your salon. It’s a way to revamp and look different and fresh for your clients. headway.net.nz 37

INK ON PINK ghd’s new pink campaign is a touching story of hope, love and inspiration

T

o celebrate the 15th anniversary of their pink campaign, which has helped raise over $15 million for breast cancer charities globally, ghd have partnered with Chicago-based tattoo artist, David Allen. For almost ten years, David has made it his mission to help women reclaim their femininity after breast cancer, by concealing their mastectomy scars with beautiful floral designs. ghd’s goal this year is to raise a further $1 million with their ‘ink on pink’ platinum+ and ghd gold® styler collections.

David Allen

David’s story “I had open heart surgery when I was 9 months old, so I was aware of scars and markings on the body. I had a woman in New York who said she liked the femininity of the tattoos I create. She had a single mastectomy and construction and wanted me to tattoo where her scarring was. I hadn’t done this before and knew the skin would have healed differently. She was so persistent I ended up flying to Baltimore to meet with her.

During this process, I was handson with someone and watching them heal. I was using my craft and work which overwhelmed me – I had to take a break and weep. She cried the whole time; her husband was also in tears because she wasn’t previously able to look at herself because she didn’t recognise herself and her body.

Throughout this process, her body became hers again –

she took control and decided how she wanted her body to look when it had been previously something she wasn’t able to control. It was overwhelming. You don’t often get to help someone and see direct results. It’s hard not to be selfish because you do get a return as well.

I posted it online once the work was complete and it went viral. I had an influx of demand from other women who wanted something similar, so I started doing a few more. Now, I do between 6 and 8 mastectomy tattoos a month – it’s a long process and takes a day to complete.

The process is collaborative. I work on different designs and share them with the women, asking for feedback, and we work together to make changes to capture her vision too.

Some women have a chemo port, or horizontal line scars from their surgery, or dimpling on the side and they stand in the mirror and will show me these scars – something so “obvious” to them but not to me; I don’t see them how they see themselves. They will then set a hierarchy of what’s important for them, which dictates the design. It’s amazing to be a small fraction of people’s lives and stories.”

David’s style “I choose floral and botanical imagery because it’s organic. Some women have cancer recurrence, sadly, and with floral imagery you can add a branch, a leaf, a petal. Some have connections with different types of flowers: it can be a childhood memory, for example. Women seem to attach meaning to very specific flowers. They find beauty within it, whether it’s rebirth or life.”

do and the role of a hairdresser during a sensitive time. Hairdressers will tell you what they know about their clients - you hear of tragedy, illness, pain and loss.

Stylists help in the process of reclaiming femininity, especially during sensitive times. There’s definitely synergy between my role and theirs - hairdressers enable women to feel beautiful and build confidence.”

Collaboration with ghd

Creating the Ink On Pink collection

“The connection with ghd and this partnership makes sense. The amount of effort, thought and money they put into helping women with cancer is extraordinary. I know I chose to do it because I believed in the company. When I work with my clients, it takes time, we build back their confidence together and these incredible women open up to me.

Much like that time you spend with your

“ghd invited me to London and I sat down with product designers to learn about the printing process. We designed a hair straightener together. I treated it as if it were an arm or a leg, a person’s body. I did the same process that I would with the mastectomy tattoos. I picked

It’s wonderful to see how hairdressers enable women to feel beautiful.

Curl Revolution The ‘oracle’ of hair styling has finally arrived @ghdhair_anz

ghd introduces the world’s first professional tool that creates endless curls in one simple stroke: ghd oracle. Making curling easier than ever before, this innovative curling tool uses patented, breakthrough curl-zone technology, which combines a unique shape, the styling power of heat, and the setting effect of cooling, to create a variety of curls for all hair types – in just one stroke.

No matter which section of hair you are styling, or which angle, the hair will always pass through the same ‘U’ shape for the perfect curl effect with ease. By tilting the ghd oracle at slightly different angles, you can create a variety of different curls and waves; from loose beachy waves, to a more uniformed curl.

“Curls continue to be a huge trend, but many consumers struggle to curl their hair easily,” says Ludovic Dellazzeri, Managing Director of ghd ANZ. “Our ghd oracle is the culmination of over 6 years development in making a streamlined tool which makes curling as easy as straightening. It’s incredibly versatile, able to create a multitude of different curls, waves, and textures just by a tilt of the hand or the speed at which the tool glides over the hair. Stylists, as a trusted source of knowledge and creativity, are pivotal in teaching consumers how they can easily create a variety of different looks with the tool.”

With over 675,000 hours of testing under its belt, ghd oracle is proving to be a game-changer for stylists and consumers alike.

H

istorically, humans have been colouring their hair for thousands of years and for many centuries, black was the only colour available. Traditionally made from plants, there was even a time when the Ancient Greeks made a black hair dye from fermented leeches, which had to be processed in a lead barrel more than two months before it could be used.

Thankfully for the ancients, black is the most common, naturally-occurring hair colour and can be seen across people of all continents and with all skin tones: from very light to very dark. So, despite the limited choices in days gone by, most people could cover their greys to some satisfaction.

Today however, the choices of hair colour seem almost endless and consumers are opting for all sorts of complicated concoctions and combinations. Something as simple, elegant, and powerful as black might tend to be overlooked as a statement hair colour.

But if you take a quick moment to list the mysterious and powerful beauty

icons that have rocked black hair over the centuries, you start to get a sense of just how strong a look it can be. From rock ‘n’ roll icons like Suzy Quatro and Joan Jett, through to sensual temptresses such as Bettie Page and Megan Fox, famous women with black hair have always seemed both untouchable yet desirable.

Cleopatra is probably the first powerful woman we think of with black hair.

Although she likely had pretty manky dreads, depictions of her in movies and pictures almost inevitably show a sharp, glass-finished, jet-black bob with bangs.

Today, we think of model Emily Didonato with her porcelain skin, blue eyes and jet-black hair, mysteriously peering from the pages of magazines, enchanting us to buy Armani’s Acgua Di Gioia parfum, or Kim Kardashian with her thick, lustrous locks, changing from dark brown to platinum and back to black.

However, from a technical point of view, we need to consider a few things…

1. Which shade of black will suit my client best? Red-black? Blue-black?

Natural black? Or perhaps even a matte-green black? What is her skin tone and what will best compliment her complexion?

2. Does she really want to go black?

We’ve all had the blonde client that wants to go a little darker, and when we take her from a level 10 to a level 9 and a half, she complains that her hair is black! So we have to watch that what we offer is technically matching our clients expectations.

I’d imagine that most people (who are not hairdressers) would look at brown or dark brown hair and see black. Maybe we need to go for a level 2 or 3 to satisfy their desire for ‘black’ hair?

3. Lastly, we need to think about the style and finish of the hair. Hair will tend to look a lot healthier when it’s darker, as it will often appear shinier. However, we need to make sure the cut and finish will work well with the colour, so your client ends up more Chanel than Slash (old-school Guns N’ Roses reference there).

To wrap this column up, I want to talk about maintenance…once you go black, it’s hard to go back. Black hair is the most dense in terms of colour pigment, and artificial colour pigment is much harder to shift than natural colour pigment. This can be quite a big commitment, and may need a longterm plan to revert back to blonde.

Be’s Managing Director, Ryland Wood, reports back from Davines’ WWHT 2019 @be.sustainable

I

went into this cautiously. Davines does its international events beautifully, but after last year’s incredibly powerful World Wide Hair Tour (WWHT) in Parma Italy, I didn’t know where to set my expectations for WWHT 2019 – Iceland.

This tiny volcanic island nation, 32 hours of flying away, was mostly a mystery to me. I’d heard Iceland has fewer people than Christchurch. I’d read that’s where Game of Thrones had filmed everything north of the wall.

And of course, I knew that’s where Björk was born. What I soon discovered was that Iceland was a perfect, powerful and strangely beautiful destination for Davines’ global get-together; a place where nature and culture collide in unique and surprising ways.

Team NZ landed on a sunny, cool spring afternoon, the colourful and quirky airport design itself giving clues to what we could expect at the other end of the earth. We drove through a countryside of volcanic rock covered in a grey-green moss, making our way to the capital city Reykjavik.

That night, I watched my first ever post-10pm sunset. Though only midspring, we never got to true night, instead experiencing six hours of twilight. I can only imagine how strange it must be mid-summer, when the sun barely sets at all, or winter when it barely rises.

Our first WWHT day started with a wilderness tour of Reykjavik peninsula. We planted 25 trees in SveitarfélagiðÖlfus as part of a nationwide reforestation project to recover from when the Vikings clearfelled nearly everything over a thousand years ago. We took in the geothermal wonders of Hafnarfjörður, with its boiling waters and pastel soils. We walked the gap between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates in

Sandvík. It was starkly beautiful.

Once back in Reykjavik, it was time to head to Harpa, the extraordinary venue for WWHT 2019 - a gleaming sculpture of coloured glass inspired by the unique drama of Iceland’s landscape.

Proceedings began as per tradition – with audience members from across the globe reading out the “Sustainable Beauty Manifesto”, essentially the DNA behind Davines’ stance on ethics, beauty and sustainability. The first show was from Spanish maestro Isaac Salido (@isaacsalido), who instead of your usual hair show, produced a melodramatic opera in seven acts, each dedicated to inspirational woman from times gone by, including Coco Chanel and Frida Kahlo.

We were then treated to a masterclass in braiding by World Style Contest 2018 winner, Annie Ankervik (@annie.ankervik) of Sweden.

Next up was UK-based Allilon (@alliloneducation), whose intellectual Sassoon-esque approach saw them collaborate with Neil Harbisson, an artist with an antenna implanted into his scull, who can hear colour and turn it into music.

a documentary following social, environmental and creative projects Davines is involved with across the planet. The entire auditorium was in tears as we were confronted with the stories of Justice and Soul, a Cambodian hairdressing academy set up by Matthew Fairfax to rescue and empower the trafficked and at-risk.

Canadian Anna Pacitto (@annapacittopure) thoroughly entertained with a series of magical surprises, my favourite being a cropped flat top made with built-up loose hair that she shook off with her fingers to reveal another haircut underneath.

Next came my favourite act of the tour: Brockmann (@brockmannundknoedler), a German duo who enchanted with an emotionally-charged performance. Hair was simple, commercial and beautiful, dressed-out live at pace on models that gave everything, emoting us into another world. I cried again by the sheer beauty of the moment.

Our final show was (of course) by none other than Angelo Seminara (@angeloseminara_hair). He shared the stage with a live symphony orchestra, models sitting amongst the violins and

“We took in the geothermal wonders of Hafnarfjörður.

We walked the gap between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates in Sandvík. It was beautiful.”

After a beautiful welcome dinner, we began the following day with the live final of World Style Contest, with the top 10 finalists from across the globe recreating their looks live on stage.

It was a thrilling final and in my opinion, the most elevated one yet. The winner was a seamless black and white look from Italian hairdresser Mirela Moko. We then saw a fantastic show from LA-based Davines Artistic Team member Michael Polsinelli (@mpmichaelpolsinelli). His avantgarde weaving and braiding captivated the room, reminding us all why he is legendary.

The audience was then treated to the world premier preview screening of Tomorrow and the Butterfly,

cellos. His colour work was directly inspired by the landscapes of Iceland, molten lava and The Northern Lights.

To officially close WWHT, Davines threw another of its famed dress-up parties, this one themed “colour is the fifth element”. Danny (Pato – Ryland’s husband) and I wore some outrageous outfits from one of his previous collections, and we celebrated the night away with the international Davines community, connecting with old friends and making new ones along the way.

I left WWHT 2019 completely invigorated by this industry, inspired by the people who are utilising it to make the world a better place.

I NS PI R ATIO N “The definition of ‘Laissez-faire’ is an “unwillingness to get involved in or influence other people’s activities”, says Chung-Yang Su. “I used this term to highlight the fact that we now have a shift in thinking towards gender and gender diversity. This became part of my inspiration.

There is a fluidity, no longer binary, and it’s for no-one else to impart their will or boundaries onto others to make them fit into a box. This also reflects the shift in politics, recognising the differences between people and no longer legislating toward what would have been classed as “traditional” and accepting that each individual is exactly that - an individual.”

Hair Force Wella Creative Director, salon owner and fourtimes Hair Expo Men’s Hairdresser/Barber of the Year, Uros Mikic, is an inspiration to many. He shares his love of the new Wella System Professional Man range, street-style favourites and his thoughts on the future of male grooming

System Man, the latest men’s range from Wella System Professional, is launching in August. What do you love most about the range?

I love that it’s been created for specific hair needs and therefore gives added options for unisex salons to deliver the very best experience to their clients.

This is something I love about the System Professional offering, full stop!

There is something unique for everyone.

With System Man, we’ve expanded the traditional portfolio, with products like conditioners and oil specifically for the hair and beard. We know hair is as unique as your fingerprint and by adding more options, specifically tailored for different people, we are able to unlock the secret to ideal hair for all.

What do you think sets the range apart from other men’s haircare brands?

brand. It’s about hair personality and discovering the bespoke haircare routine that meets individual needs. The System Man range is no different, creating a complete and ultra-personalised experience for the modern man. I believe personalisation is essential to all stages of creating beautiful hair. From the cut and styling, to ongoing care. Whilst System Professional has already created this for females across care and styling, I don’t believe there is a professional brand doing the same for men, outside of niche

barbering brands, until now.

As an award-winning men’s hairdresser, how is creating a men’s collection different from a women’s hair collection?

From a process perspective, it’s not!

Every collection should be treated as an individual entity: researching, developing and creating. Of course, the difference is in the detail. It’s about understanding the ways in which men approach their haircare routine and the look they want to achieve, which makes them

hair profile

What do you think is the most common misperception about barbering/cutting men’s hair?

That it’s easy! A great hair cut is never easy to create, no matter how simple it may look. Our industry is full of artists who don’t always get the credit they deserve.

What is street style saying to you right now?

To me, street style will always be about individualism, with a rebellious edge. Right now I’m loving the ‘Fade’ – unnatural colour on top, fading into a darker more natural tone underneath. But street style will always be about attitude rather than details.

differ from females. Ultimately, men often have a lot less hair, so attention to detail is pivotal in creating something unique.

“I love creating longer styles, as it allows for more opportunity to be creative. I don’t believe in the traditional definition of male and female styles. I think it’s about personality.”

Which cuts are you enjoying creating for your male clientele? Has there been a demand for any particular style/ trend?

I love creating longer styles, as it allows for more opportunity to be creative.

I don’t believe in the traditional definition of male and female styles. I think it’s about personality and it’s great more men are trying out mid-to-long and curly looks. I’m also seeing men embracing colour changes: from very dark to lighter, less natural colours, particularly pinks.

What do you think are the most important skills when it comes to men’s cutting?

What are your three must-have System Professional Man products currently?

With men’s hair, stylists are often working with a higher percentage of shorter, cropped styles, where there is much less room for inconsistency!

Stylists have to really master shape and blending for the perfect look and finish, whilst maintaining something that also suits the client.

Firstly, I love the Energy Shampoo. It contains Creatine that energises hair and scalp, helping make it more resistant to wear and tear. I love that it makes hair look fuller, without leaving a heavy residue. For longer

hair, I love Texturizing Spray for a denser look and feel - perfect for creating a rougher, more rugged look. The Hair & Beard Oil is one of my favourite products for this reason. It’s lightweight, but adds moisture and can really transform the texture of hair.

What would you say has been the biggest change in men’s hair trends since you first started in the industry?

I think the male hair industry is more daring these days. As we see genders blurring on all levels of society, longer length, bold colours, styling and finishes are making more of an appearance. I’m first and foremost a stylist and believe in expressing yourself via your hair, so I think this is a great thing.

Where do you see the future of male grooming heading?

I think it will continue to grow and follow in the footsteps of the female industry to deliver bespoke, luxury and quality products and services. There is so much more room and creativity for the male grooming industry to grow - it will explode.

Runway Ready Six Australian hairdressers share their experience of working at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Australia, as part of the Wella Professionals family @wellapro_anz

Bondi Born

Kathryn Ilijoski Director at 121 Hair

What was your most memorable moment of MBFWA? I’ve been lucky to be part of Fashion Week in Australia for 11 years. Every Fashion Week is amazing and has so many memorable moments, it’s hard to pick one. These experiences have led to me travelling with Renya and the Wella Professionals team to New York Fashion Week twice, where I’ve had the opportunity to work with world-class designers, and gained further experience and confidence to bring that back to the Australian setting.

What was your must-have Fashion Week product this year?

Wella Professionals EIMI Glam Mist. It helps protect hair from humidity and UV, plus the shine and smell is incredible.

What looks can you see translating from the runway to your clientele?

All of our looks were translatable, especially the ‘twisted, squiggly’ wave.

These looks could definitely be used in bridal styling and the gorgeous Bondi Knot, created by Renya Xydis, is super on-trend during formal season.

What are your best backstage tips from MBFWA 2019?

Communicate with your team and work hard to achieve the look! Communicating allows clear direction, which ensures everyone is enjoying themselves. You need to take in as much as possible, so you enjoy it, but also learn as much as possible to bring back to your salon.

What was your most memorable moment of MBFWA? The atmosphere! There’s a rush and drive. It’s amazing being surrounded by the Wella Professionals family - the best hairdressers in the business.

What was your must-have Fashion Week product this year?

Wella Professionals EIMI Glam Mist for sure. Everybody needs a little shine and it’s versatile for all styles!

What looks can you see translating from the runway to your clientele?

It’s all about shape - slim through the neck and slightly voluminous just below the crown. I loved the styles that incorporated texture with sleek ends, such as those created by Keiran Street for Alice McCall.

What are your best backstage tips from MBFWA 2019?

If you think there’s enough product, there’s not! Also, preparation is key.

What was your most memorable moment of MBFWA? Wella Professionals gave me the chance to work alongside Renya Xydis and Keiren Street. This was definitely the highlight for me!

What was your must-have Fashion Week product this year?

Wella Professionals EIMI Glam Mist was the super-star product. It’s perfect for balmy, humid days because of its soft hold, combined with plenty of shine.

We used it on models at the Alice McCall show and it looked gorgeous.

What looks can you see translating from the runway to your clientele?

I loved the beautiful knotted hair for Bondi Born Australia, created by Renya. I have no doubt we’ll see it hitting the streets soon with variations to suit individual flair.

5 MINUTES WITH

Nichola Hand She runs a busy Gold Coast studio and is Australasian Education Manager for Organic Colour Systems.

Now, Nichola Hand has taken up photography and shot a collection that reached the finals of the Australian Hair Fashion Awards. Headway asked her to take us through the creative process. @publiksalongc @organiccoloursystemsuk

It doesn’t matter how good a hairdresser you are: who shoots your models and how they interpret your vision can make or break a collection. We’re lucky in our part of the world to have so many incredible photographers, but who better to shoot and really capture hair better than a hairdresser? I was so happy to be able to see Jonathon’s and my conception right through to completion. (Jonathon is Nichola’s hairdresser husband and partner in crime at Publik Salon. For this collection, Nichola coloured, Jon cut).

But you can’t just pick up a camera and successfully shoot a collection. How did you do it?

I worked my backside off! For the last three years, every minute I wasn’t on the floor, educating or looking after my family, I studied photography.

80 headway.net.nz

There is so much to learn - I don’t feel like I’ve even scratched the surface yet.

Then I just jumped in with lenses blazing. It’s a constant learning experience but I’m loving the journey.

What was the biggest challenge for you on shoot day?

The lighting. I knew how it needed to be, but this is another whole skillset and getting it perfect took time and patience. I was lucky to be shooting at Gold Coast Studio and Matt, the owner, was a great support. It’s not just setting up your shot and that’s it for the day; you have to keep looking at the light and where it’s coming from for each shot. You also have to adjust your lighting for every model. I look at light in a whole new way since studying photography.

Tell us about the collection, Retrospective. You obviously love retro.

I do! In fact, the styling was clothes and accessories I’ve collected over the years. I literally just raided my

wardrobe. For this collection, we pulled inspiration from history, fashion, art and light. Our aim was to create a reflective yet timeless collection. And I really think we’ve done that.

Jonathon’s Queensland Hairdresser of the Year entry made it through to the finals of this year’s AHFA’s. How did that feel?

Unbelievable. I was actually in New Zealand with Organic Colour Systems when the finalists were announced and I think the whole floor of my hotel heard my whoops. I had honestly got to the stage where I was just happy that we’d done the shoot. Getting Jon through to the finals was insane.

Would you shoot your own collection again?

Without hesitation. But next time we’re putting in two entries for QLD Hairdresser of the Year. It’s going to be me and Jon up against each other.

Bring it on!

What inspired you to create HeadBed?

Some of my remedial massage clients came in with sore necks, headaches, pins and needles and dizziness following their session at the hair salon. They dreaded being at the wash basin. I was stunned to find medical evidence of injury and even deaths, caused by sessions at the shampoo wash station. When analysing the ergonomics of a shampoo session, and neck rests available on the market, it became clear that the weight of the human head was not being supported and was causing shearing forces on the neck vertebrae and its delicate blood vessels and nerves. After years of consultation with experienced hairdressers, I designed a small platform built into a neck cushion that would support the weight of the head under the occipital bone, like a tee under a golf ball. That platform had to be small enough not to get in the way of the hairdresser doing their work, yet enough surface area to take the weight of the head, and adaptable to people with short or long necks.

What are the most unique aspects of this salon essential?

82 headway.net.nz

• HeadBed is the only universallyadaptable neck cushion to have a head supporting platform.

• Ergonomically designed to follow the natural curve of the neck and back of the head, and support the weight of the head.

• Capable of adjustment in height with 3 adaptor wedges, for people with stiffer necks, and for different depths of wash basins.

• Made of medical-grade soft silicon, which is 100% hygienic, and has been shown to last easily for 5 years.

• It has medical, physiotherapist and chiropractic endorsements, as these professionals all recognised HeadBed as a safety device for the neck.

Why do salon staff and clients love HeadBed? Clients love the comfort of relaxing at the basin, instead of ‘putting up’ with the shampoo session. Customers no longer have to slide down the chair in an attempt to straighten their sore neck and lift their head up. Being seated well back in the chair, more of the client’s head is inside the basin, which helps the stylist rinse more easily. For stylists, it gives them confidence knowing their client is comfortable. It also saves their hands from extra effort, so less RSI problems for the hairdresser. Also, less likelihood of

water dripping past the neck and down the client’s back.

What have been your biggest highlights since creating this product?

• 5 months after launching, we went to Salon International London. Vidal Sassoon Academy in London tested our HeadBeds in October 2013. A month later, I received a glowing email from the General Manager of the UK Academy, ordering HeadBeds for the Academy.

• Award-winning hairdresser, Jayne Wild, has been using them for the past 5 years at her Wild Life Hair salon.

• Sandy Chong, CEO of the Australian Hairdressing Council and owner of Suki Salon, loves her HeadBeds and has made them part of their WHS equipment.

• L’Oréal salons in Paris and Dubai are using HeadBeds, which is a wonderful endorsement to its efficacy, uniqueness and value in high-end salons.

• The Australian Hairdressing Council support and endorse HeadBed to Registered Training Organisations.

A Word From Julie Evans The CEO of Rodney Wayne, Julie Evans, shares her passion for the industry

I

’m writing this piece whilst enjoying some free time during a Kérastase conference in stunning Bali (I don’t want to sound pretentious but it’s a fact), and having spent four days with 80 industry people has really cemented what I’ve seen from the age of fourteen, when I started my hairdressing career as a Saturday assistant. This industry, ‘OUR’ industry, is truly like no other.

It’s interesting we are told not to label people, yet we are boxed together into groups with titles that reflect a symbol or even a chromosome: Gen Z, X, and “WHY”. This industry is multigenerational and it works. Of course we all have challenges and there are times where there is disharmony. This industry loves change and we embrace it. After all, that’s our gig: change, transformation, make-over, reinvent, whatever you wish to call it.

Each generation brings a different skillset and outlook, whereas our seniors mentor and coach our apprentices and newcomers. It’s unique in this respect and one of the few mentoring industries.

To nurture a Saturday assistant and watch them become a full-time apprentice, qualify into a stylist, and go on to many other roles this eclectic industry has to offer, is an honour and a privilege not afforded to many.

In this edition of Headway, there are many examples of this to quantify my point. Two of the Rodney Wayne Artistic Team, who have recently been inducted into the ghd Style Squad (Kevin Price and Newton Cook), are both aspiring creative directors. Then there is Richard Kavanagh, who from humble beginnings as a young stylist, has gone on to become a multi-award-winning session stylist, travelling the globe and making fabulous people look and feel fabulous.

Sitting here taking stock of my own

@rodneywayneofficial

career, I have never once considered leaving it. I wonder about one of the statistics I read recently which stated that, a new generation will have seven career changes during their lifetime. I can truthfully say with the opportunities and career paths hairdressing has to offer, it is unlikely that once you have entered this magic kingdom of ours, you will not want to go anywhere else.

Not many careers can provide instant job satisfaction and a sense of purpose, when in as little as a one-hour time frame, you can transform a person, who will bounce out of the salon with the

confidence to conquer whatever battle lays before them, because YOU made them feel they could.

This industry will give you relentless opportunities to travel the world and get paid to meet people. It’s a career of lifelong learning and a journey, not a destination. We work hard, play harder and love what we do. Our creative skills allow us to be invited everywhere, and our scissors will travel and make us the best friend and confidante anyone could want.

To all the teams and individuals who make up ‘our’ industry, I salute you! headway.net.nz 83

(and Artistic Team) prepared you for this role and gave you the experience needed to be part of the Style Squad?

What are some of the most exciting projects you’ve worked on since being with Rodney Wayne and what do you think differentiates the brand from other salons?

I would have to say the confidence to put myself out there and the feeling that I am good enough to be a part of these teams.

This is something I’ve learnt from being on the Rodney Wayne Artistic Team and I couldn’t have done that without Rodney Wayne’s consistent education and encouragement.

I have worked on so many exciting projects over the years: creating images for The Collective, working on Rodney Wayne collections and NZ Fashion Week, Remix magazine photo shoots and ghd launch events, to name a few. I would have to say what differentiates the Rodney Wayne brand is that the opportunities to grow and expand your career come around a lot more often for those willing to take them

Which ghd tool are you using most right now?

I love the Platinum+ styler. It’s so easy to use and incredibly versatile to create different looks with.

Which styling trends do you see being big for the remainder of 2019?

Beach waves are still holding the top spot in the salon from a client’s perspective. They’re fun, easy for everyone to wear and a great way for clients to dress up a look without overdoing it.

As a participant in ghd’s elite training programme, what are you looking forward to delivering back to your Rodney Wayne clients and sharing with your team members?

Product knowledge and tips on how to use the range. ghd is such a great brand. When people say they don’t use them, I always find it’s usually because they aren’t using the tools how they’re meant to be used, or don’t fully grasp the concept.

Newton Cook Rodney Wayne Westcity, Auckland

How did it feel to be selected as a ghd Style Squad member out of hundreds of NZ and Australian hairstylists?

To be selected was so surreal. I was over the moon and I still can’t believe it!

What does being part of the ghd Style Squad entail?

Being part of the squad entails training and learning the newest techniques and looks of the upcoming seasons. We also get sneak peaks at all the newest tools coming out. It’s fantastic coming together with similar-minded stylists to unlock each other’s full styling potential!

What kind of knowledge are you gaining from this experience?

The knowledge we are gaining from an experience like this is amazing.

We are learning the newest fashion trends and different looks from industry leaders, taking that knowledge and using it in behindthe-scenes shoots for events. Being able to use these techniques in-salon

has also been amazing, keeping clients on-trend and excited.

How do you think being part of the Rodney Wayne family (and Artistic Team) prepared you for this role and gave you the experience needed to be part of the Style Squad?

As part of the Rodney Wayne family, we like to pride ourselves on keeping up with the latest techniques. We are constantly upskilling and training, aiming to be the best in the industry and I believe having that background is simply an emphasis on what is needed to be part of the Style Squad!

Which ghd tool are you using most right now?

I’m using the ghd Curve Classic Curling Tong. I find you can be very versatile with it.

Which styling trends do you see being big for the remainder of 2019?

Curls, waves and naturallooking hair I believe will remain on-trend for a few seasons.

As a participant in ghd’s elite training programme, what are you looking forward to delivering back to your Rodney Wayne clients and sharing with your fellow team members?

Absolutely everything!

What are some of the most exciting projects you’ve worked on since being with Rodney Wayne?

The most exciting project was creating the looks with my fellow Artistic Team members for our Rodney Wayne campaign, and working with the amazing photographer Steven Chee and our incredible Creative Director, Richard Kavanagh! @rodneywayneofficial @ghdhair_anz

I NS PI R ATIO N Harriett Tan’s collection, Grafter, draws inspiration from the regular struggle of the working class man and is derived from early 1900’s fashion. “I collaborated with my stylist and photographer to pull my vision together, which puts a modern edge on the otherwise old Englishinspired attire,” says Harriet.

“I take pride in educating the next generation of stylists and have a passion for change in the male grooming industry, breaking any stigma’s that still surround it.” As a finalist for the Hair Expo Awards Men’s/Barber Hairdresser of the Year 2019, this was a stand-out collection for us.

The 90s mid-length cut is the coolest thing around this winter. Who wore it best? The man himself - Mr Johnny Depp. Suits guys with thicker hair but is always achievable with the right product.

Joe Jonas looks like something from a cardy pattern from the 70s, but his nerdy ‘lite seventies’ style is catching on. Watch this space.

How do we look after clients who do a lot of travel for work or pleasure?

Anne O’Brien looks at travel tips specific to the travelling man

A

s salon owners or employees, we travel or are away from work, on average, about two weeks a year. We are required to be in one location to look after our clients, as we are a destination business. This does exclude the growing number of mobile stylists of course, but for the majority of us, where we are based for work is in the same spot every day.

This may not be the case for a lot of our clients. Whether for business or for pleasure, their ‘away’ time is a lot more than two weeks every year - they may even fly for a job. It is important to be aware that, for these niche clients, hair and beard needs are different to your homebodies. Here are a few easy tips to be aware of for your travelling man (TM).

Hair and skin dries out considerably for the regular TM. Cabin air can create an itchy scalp and beard, even on a short flight. Make sure you have the right products for managing this for both pre and post-flight treatments. Encourage TM to enjoy a hair spa ritual each quarter to combat ‘flight flakes’.

Travel-size products are a must, or TM will be buying them at duty free. Ensure when you can that travel-size products can be refilled or recycled - a plus for your green man as well.

Book ahead. No one can just turn up at the airport and expect to get a seat for their flight, and the same goes for your service. You are not a grab-a-deal but a first class service yourself. Make sure your schedule and TM’s are in sync for grooming and care. He is used to booking remember, so get him on board for your ETA’s as well.

Finally, create a simple checklist of what he should do while away travelling.

Suggest a great place to visit for a Turkish shave, pedicure or massage. Engage in what is good for TM’s wellbeing whilst he is travelling and even suggest apps for him to download. Anything to let him know you’re all about keeping him healthy while he is away from home. Talk to him about his trip, not what you plan to do on your next break. Keep your bucket list chat for when you’re not at work, remain focused on TM’s plans and he’s sure to be back.

COMMITMENT TO NATURE With a strong culture of nature and beauty, La Biosthetique is a brand that takes their responsibility to their clients and the environment seriously

L

a Biosthetique is known for their luxurious haircare, colour, skincare, and makeup ranges, combining beauty, bios and aesthetics, all using a combination of the latest research and natural ingredients, tailored for all skins and hair types. Natural, raw ingredients, gentle treatment of resources, individual and personal care is at the heart of the La Biosthetique culture. Headway was keen to learn more about this brand and share their backstory with you.

The Background The family-owned business has a mantra of ‘The Culture of Total Beauty’ and the pillar of this is always the individual: as a customer, a partner, and as an employee. La Biosthétique currently has more than 8000 salon partners and 500 employees worldwide Marcel Contier invented La 94 headway.net.nz

Biosthétique more than 50 years ago and his initial philosophy and original values are still upheld today. He was a brilliant biochemist and strongly believed that natural substances made more sense than synthetic ones. As a philanthropist and humanist, his philosophy, “Think good thoughts and live well” still guide La Biosthétique in 2019. Above all, Contier knew about connections. In his salon, he not only thought about the hairstyle, but also the scalp. When he thought about the scalp, it came naturally to him to also think about skin and the perfect, individual care and cosmetics for every woman and man.

Siegfried Weiser ran the company, alongside Contier, and after Contier’s death, Weiser’s sons Jean-Marc and Felix joined him. La Biosthetique’s stunnng HQ is in Paris, while the company’s research and production facility is in the traditional craftsmen

HAIR focus

town of Pforzheim, Germany – a gateway to the Black Forest.

The Production & Testing Process Every bottle, every tube, every drop.

To La Biosthetique, quality is about perfection and this is the purpose of their research and their method of production.

With a focus on each individual product, whilst respecting ecological conditions, La Biosthetique represents the latest findings in dermatology and biochemistry, and all colours and products are carefully procured and rigorously tested in their state-of-theart laboratories. The products are also scientifically-tested and dermatologically confirmed by institutes for independent testing in cooperation with university clinics. Finally, after every product meets its native EU standard, it undergoes a final examination by the Australian Government’s Department of Health before arriving at your salon. All products exclude parabens, sulphates, formaldehyde, and ammonia.

Absolutely Safe Ingredients Following Marcel Contier’s findings and passion for bio-chemistry, La Biosthetique products work in biological balance with the body. This is why the use of natural and nature-identical ingredients are a priority. The use of chemical ingredients is highlyregulated in the European Union, which guarantees a high standard of safety in all La Biosthetique products.

Animal Safety La Biosthetique strictly forbids animal testing for any products and do not contain any part of animals. However, they may contain some animal derivatives such as beeswax (lipsticks) or keratin and lanolin (from sheep’s wool).

Colour With Care: Doctors Without Borders Colour with Care is a La Biosthetique initiative where every tube of colour sold raises funds for the global non-profit organisation Medecins Sans Frontieres, Doctors without Borders. Every time you perform a La Biosthetique colour in-salon, you’ll be helping provide critical support in the areas that need it the most, whether it is: stopping the spread of infectious diseases; giving malnourished children access to essential meals; providing medical aid to those in disaster-struck areas.

• Every colour application provides the equivalent of 4 malaria diagnostic kits.

• Every month your salon could provide over 100 meals for children.

• Every year, over 1200 meals will be funded simply by using La Biosthetique colour.

Our Environment: Our Responsibility • Renewable energy: The global head office is run on green electricity.

• Carbon Footprint: La Biosthetique have a carbon-neutral footprint throughout Europe.

• Recycling: Bottles are recyclable wherever possible. Plastics are divided into seven categories and recycling depends on your council. Simply look at the bottom of the product bottle to find which type of plastic is used.

Shipping products are made from recycled and/or recyclable materials, and marketing brochures use carbon neutral FSC 100% recycled paper.

• Responsible Sourcing: Many products rely on ‘controlled agriculture’, meaning the way in which the ingredient is grown and harvested is sustainable. This covers many oils, such as sunflower, jojoba and argan.

La Biosthetique also support fair trade for some of their ingredients.

• Biodegradable: All natural ingredients are biodegradable. A lot of La Biosthetique’s synthetic ingredients are biodegradable too because of their bio-mimetic properties. Parabens, benzoic acid and natrium benzoate are for example synthetic, but nature-identical and thus not harmful for the environment.

We love La Biosthétique’s mission statement. “Beauty is not just external. It is everything: what you do and how you do it. Beauty lies in the material you use, as well as in the way you treat those who use it. True beauty is the shape of things to come when you make the right decisions. It is a philosophy. It is a culture. Our culture. We call it The Culture Of Total Beauty.” @labiosthetiqueaus labiosthetique.co.nz 0800 522 467 headway.net.nz 95

Out of Office Anne O’Brien looks at the importance of contingency planning and developing a ‘team’ attitude, to enable you to survive when a ‘significant other’ is away

W

hat happens when a key staff member in your salon has to be out of the business for six weeks? Does the culture that you have built mean you could survive without them, or would you sink? That is a big question and one we recently had to address ourselves here at Headway HQ. We shifted offices on December 14th 2018. Yes, it was Christmas time and yes, it was madness. It was a project that the whole business was involved in and, whilst we are still unpacking boxes in our new ‘home’, we welcomed in a new era for 2019 and didn’t look back. What happened next is an age-old story. We stopped, we relaxed a little bit, and then one of us got sick. How many times have you been on holiday and just as you open the door to paradise you sneeze?

(me), some of us were in denial (me) and some of us were enormously practical and just started doing the job (me, eventually). The thing is, when you love the people you work with, you don’t think about them ever leaving. Then one day they do and your work, which you never really thought of as work, can become really stressful.

Having survived (and thrived), these are our top tips for managing when one of your ‘significant others’ at work has an unscheduled ‘out of office’ moment.

Make sure your team can multi-task When your head stylist is away unexpectedly or for a long period, you will need to have a back-up plan for your loyal followers. Your customers

“The thing is, when you love the people you work with, you don’t think about them ever leaving. Then one day they do and your work, which you never really thought of as work, can become really stressful.”

Well this is kind of what happened, but on steroids (not literally but you get the drift).

Up front I am delighted to say everyone is now healthy, well and thriving so no need to worry, but the New Year was not as we had planned. We had to address what cover would be needed, who could add more to their already busy schedule, do we bring someone in, what if it’s more than 6 weeks – what if it turns out to be 6 months? Some of us catastrophised

will not go anywhere else for a period, as long as you keep them informed.

They will appreciate some ’in-between’ care. Consider having a great support person who can smooth the waters and introduce your ‘understudies’ if you are not available as well.

Communicate well - so you are all on the same page In most circumstances, your staff will know more about the situation than your

clients. It is important that the team all know how to communicate why one of your key players is away, without feeling they have overstepped the mark by over-sharing, or by being too vague.

A clear, concise and positive message about why there is a temporary change is as important for the staff as it is for your clients.

Don’t look to shame Some staff will handle the pressure better than others. Some will get on board whilst others, for whatever reason, will not engage and you may hear the dreaded phrase ‘that’s not my job’. Clients will also have a variety of reactions, but do not embrace the shame game. No one copes with stress in the same way so be patient, and again, keep communication clear, concise and positive.

Celebrate and say thank you When the journey is over and life begins to return to normal, don’t forget to celebrate and be grateful to those who did all the extra things that you couldn’t have managed without. Challenges give us great opportunities to grow – they also identify who you want to be alongside if the shit hits the fan again (excuse the expression). We advise you to acknowledge and reward that support and loyalty, and engender more of the same across the board.

Do you have an opinion on work culture you would like to share?

Hot Headed 5 Minutes With Joico Guest Artist, Carolyn Gahan

@joicoaustralianz @carolynjayun

C

anadian-born, Australian-based hairdresser, session stylist, and educator, Carolyn Gahan, is passionate about colour and is reveling in her new role as Joico Guest Artist and Ambassador. The fun-loving stylist was a finalist in this year’s Australian Hair Fashion Awards Avant-Garde category and more recently, a finalist for the NSW/ ACT Hairdresser of the Year category for Hair Expo Australia 2019. Here, Carolyn shares her product must-haves, trend picks, and her love for education and avante garde hairdressing.

What inspired a career in hairdressing?

When I was a kid, there wasn’t one Barbie doll that stood a chance around me with the scissors. From a very young age, I was cutting all my cousins’ hair behind our parents back, which led to the worst school pictures for everyone.

My mom said from the age of three I told her I was going to be a hairdresser and here we are!

98 headway.net.nz

What’s the best part of your job?

Can I only pick one? I guess the best part of my job would be not having to pretend to be someone else when I’m at work. I love that I can be creative, have a laugh, not take myself too seriously, and earn a living. Having all this is truly a luxury not everyone gets to experience in their own job.

What does your role as a Joico Guest Artist entail?

My role requires me to keep updated on fashion trends and how they relate or can be adapted to cutting, colouring or styling. I collaborate with Joico Australia, New Zealand, and other international artists, which assists me in putting together different techniques that are relevant and fun to share with Joico stylists through class presentations. I test out all new products that are constantly coming on the market and provide feedback on ways they can be used by

You were a finalist in the Avant-Garde category of the AHFA. What inspired this collection and why are you drawn to this kind of competition work?

stylists on a daily basis.

What do you love most about the Joico range?

I’ve been using Joico Lumishine in my salon for just a couple of months now and though it’s a little scary changing colour brands, I’m finding the transition to be very smooth. What I’ve noticed most is the condition of hair has improved dramatically. The hair looks like glass and reflects so much natural light when it’s blow-dried; it looks and feels much healthier and stronger. They don’t call it Lumishine for nothing!

Your must-have products right now?

As a colourist, I can’t live without Joico Defy Damage for every single colour application in-salon or when training.

It strengthens and protects hair during the chemical process, giving beautiful, healthy results. My go-to styling product is Joico’s Body Shake, a texturising finishing spray. It gives hair dramatic volume and texture and absorbs any oil, making it great for in-between washes.

The inspiration began with different types of flowers, then morphed into animals somehow! I honestly just let my mind and hands go wherever they want. The main concept and mood of the shoot was to be young, colourful, and give a warm fuzzy feeling when you looked at it. I always make pieces I could actually see myself wearing should the occasion arise - which is almost never. I’m drawn towards this kind of competition work because it’s hairdressing to the extreme. My dad is a carpenter and it reminds me of building a house.

You need your sketches, frame, tools, materials and a whole lot of time! On average, I give myself five months to create a full avant-garde collection, so you can imagine the reward when I see it all come together.

What has been the most memorable show you’ve worked on?

stuck on. Firstly, you need to identify the problem, then offer a solution to help them overcome that problem. I like to help people make progress in education because that is what I seek when I attend classes, seminars and workshops. I love the structure of a colour workshop but I also love to pick people’s brains and bounce off them. As much as I’m teaching them, they are also teaching me and helping me become a more effective educator.

Current colour and style favourites?

Really rich coppers, corals, mochas and reds. I’m so over the grey ashy trends.

Give me that warmth! The amount of shine and life these colours can bring to skin is incredible. Accessories are so on-trend and can polish the simplest of looks. My favourites are oversized clips with beads, jewels or pearls on them.

Stick a few in the side just over your ear and you’re ready for the runway.

What has been the biggest highlight of your career so far?

Becoming a Guest Artist and Brand Ambassador for such a massive global company like Joico has been something I’ve wanted for years. Having a successful brand recognise your hard work makes you feel like you can take on the world, and that people really trust and value you as an artist.

It would have to be the 70th Annual Cannes Film Festival in France. I travelled to Cannes on my own dime and worked for free every day for two weeks just to be amongst it all. Every 30 minutes I had to run to a different hotel on the strip to style hair for major celebrities. It was very surreal but also very challenging, not knowing anybody nor speaking the language. I tried to give Rihanna my business card for next year but wasn’t allowed anywhere near her!

As an educator, what do you think are the most important lessons you teach?

The most important aspect is to help people solve the problems they’ve been headway.net.nz 99

Going The Distance When you buy FRAMAR products, you aren’t just investing in your craft, you’re getting the family @framar

L

oved by some of the most influential hairstylists of our time, including two of the brands earliest adopters, Guy Tang and Larisa Love, FRAMAR has taken social media by storm and has rapidly become one of the fastest-growing colour accessories brands. FRAMAR is now available in New Zealand from CS & CO and has a long and special family history.

1985: A Foil Revolution

FRAMAR started as a love story when Frank Gallo was doing a woman named Maria’s (FRA-MAR) hair; they soon became a couple. After marrying, Frank went to England to take a hair colouring class, which is where he discovered the use of foil in the hair industry. He wanted to implement this into his salons, eliminating cap and needles. After a lot of testing, Frank and Maria co-founded Framar Enterprises™ in 1986.

1987: The 5lb Roll

The duo started production by selling pre-cut sheets as their first product out of their salon and to salons close by. As production started growing, the 5lb silver roll with the elegant Foil It Dispenser were born, which are both still sold today!

1991-1994: Diversity Is A Good Thing

1991 brought FRAMAR to their first trade show, exhibiting at Toronto Allied Beauty Association to showcase, demonstrate and instruct stylists on the techniques and benefits of using foil in highlighting.

This created stylist demand to see a larger line of products for use in-salon, so coloured rolls and small 1lb rolls were introduced.

100 headway.net.nz

Headway | PROMOTION

2001: The Big Move

Rapid growth in sales brought about a re-brand and in-house production facility. What had started in the basement of a house was now a fully-fledged foil manufacturing hub. The foil, made on premise, can still be found in the company’s arsenal of high-end products today under the Extreme Soft brand.

2011: Time For A Change

A complete re-brand and overhaul brought FRAMAR into the future. Learning from stylists and catering to what they liked and disliked proved to be key in creating a high-end but extremely fun brand to use.

2018: Now We’re Here

MODEL IMAGES: Nikita Fisher

To-date, FRAMAR continues to grow as a family and business (Frank and Maria have four children and one grandchild to-date), launching sales internationally in over 40 countries. FRAMAR now makes over 100 products including foil, dispensers, accessories, gloves, furniture, brushes, and more.

Branded as a company that caters to the people, FRAMAR's main inspiration is to make products for the salon professional that promotes excitement in a stylist's day-to-day life.

ARE YOU BEING SUPPORTED? Alyssa McArley discusses what you need to consider when it comes to choosing salon software

There when you need it In the hair and beauty industry, hours vary greatly from the business standard of 9-5, so it’s important you can get support on late nights, weekends, and even some public holidays. Check the hours a support team will be available to help you and determine how well they align with the hours

102 headway.net.nz

your business is running. If a provider only allows a certain number of calls or amount of time with their support team each month or year, just be sure to realistically decide whether that’ll be sufficient.

Contact support your way There are a variety of ways you can get in touch with a support team including via phone, web chat and email, or some providers may only offer self-help tools, such as support guides and videos. Prior to choosing a software supplier, decide what your preferred channels are and what will work best for your team should they need help.

Everyone’s preferences and circumstances are different. You may need to quickly pick up the phone and talk through an issue to receive immediate help, or perhaps you like the ease and responsiveness of webchat. Alternatively, you may be happy to describe things via email and wait for a response, or take the time to search for a relevant support guide.

hen it comes to choosing software for your salon, spa or clinic, there are a number of factors you need to take into consideration. What features does it have? Is it easy to use? How much is it going to cost?

How would it fit into my business? It’s common for support to be forgotten as one of those important factors, yet it is vital to the success of the software in your business. Without the right support, software can cause frustration, issues can arise, and it’s unlikely you’ll utilise its full value. We’ve put together a guide to help you choose software with the support that you need for your business.

headway business

Don’t get left waiting

Self-help

Response time can really change your support experience, so it pays to take note. Think about your need for quick responses in times of emergency versus questions you can wait to have answered. The support channels provided often influence the response time. For example, emails may be answered within 24 hours, while phone calls are answered in a matter of seconds.

Just determine what it is you’d be happy with.

If a software provider offers phone, email or webchat support, check whether they also have self-provisioning support tools like ‘how-to’ guides and videos. These kinds of tools are a useful option if you need help outside support hours, or just want to quickly check how to use a new feature.

Price check The cost of support can vary depending on the provider. It can be free of charge, purchased in a “pack” depending on the level of support you choose, or charged for based on the channel.

For example, emails may be free and phone calls may incur an additional charge. Be sure to take any support costs into consideration when budgeting for software to determine what your business can afford.

Ongoing training and education Introductory training is an absolute must when you purchase new software but check if ongoing training and learning opportunities are available too. These tools can help you learn more about the software so you’re getting maximum value from it. It may even offer advice to help you in other areas, such as business coaching.

Use these tips to ensure you choose software with the support you need for your business and enjoy a better, more valuable experience.

Félicité is one of the most dramatically beautiful isles in the 115-island nation, featuring massive granite boulders and picture-perfect beaches. Measuring 652 acres, the resort embraces and celebrates nature, while offering every creature comfort. With its prime location outside of the cyclone belt, it offers perpetual summer.

RESORT STAY The resort occupies one third of the total land, and is a 20-minute helicopter journey from Seychelles International Airport, located on the main island of Mahé. Six Senses Zil Pasyon presents 28 one-bedroom pool villas and two twobedroom pool villas, plus several private residences. Every villa offers seclusion embraced by tropical vegetation, unsurpassed vistas of the ocean, a private infinity-edge pool and its own GEM (Guest Experience Maker) butler service.

FLORA AND FAUNA The landscaping concept for this resort is habitat restoration. The authentic Seychelles environment is supported using only plants, shrubs and trees indigenous or endemic to Seychelles. No exotic flowers have been imported to Félicité, despite this being the quickest and easiest way to landscape a new resort.

As a result of 10 long years of habitat restoration on Félicité in preparation for this resort, the biodiversity is now far more rich and varied. Guests can experience authentic species of trees and plants in their natural settings. headway.net.nz 109

The Ocean Villa is situated right above the water with 180-degree ocean views, and the Nature Villa incorporates garden and trees as part of the villa design. Finally, there is the Floating Villa, built on a large rock and extending all the way out to create a suspended feeling. To further complement your wellness journey, the spa also features a sauna, saltwater pool, steam, yoga and meditation pavilion and nail bar.

NATURAL GEOGRAPHY Spa experiences are designed around the health-giving properties of the islands’ flora and fauna, the natural rock shading and calming sounds of the ocean. For minimal intrusion on the landscape, lightweight timber steps and a rope bridge link the spa, while unmatched views can be enjoyed from the treatment villas, yoga pavilion and pool deck.

It offers a wide range of holistic wellness, rejuvenation and locallyinspired beauty treatments. These are paired with an extensive menu of signature therapies and the recently launched Six Senses Integrated Wellness programme, administered under the guidance of Six Senses expert therapists.

Bon Voyage A few of our Headway faves share their wanderlust-inducing travel tips and stories

Jean-Michel Tallot

de Spa Cosmetics Describe your ideal weekend get-away? Life is a little different

What is your favourite long-haul adventure location? Our trip to Croatia in 2016 was a personal favourite for me. It was the first time both Courtney and I had visited, and it completely took us by surprise. The historic and unspoiled fishing villages along the Adriatic coast are so idyllic. It is such an easy and affordable country to move around in and enjoy the very best it has to offer

Which products do you always travel with? My favourite travel product is the Sothys Detoxifying Facial Cleanser. It’s a clever 3-in-1; a shower cleanser, exfoliating scrub, and even a shaving cream! Also, Sothys Hydra 3Ha Hydrating Cream is comfortably the best moisturising product I have ever used - it’s the international top-seller! Lastly, as a hair product I use a little Hemp oil, which is well-regarded for its naturally high Omega 3 and 6 content, which is essential for scalp and hair health.

Kathryn Wilson

Kathryn Wilson Footwear Describe your ideal weekend get-away? We love escaping out of Auckland to the Coromandel and waking up to the sound of the ocean.

We bought a family bach last year in Pauanui and have been making the most of family time at the beach any time we can get away. Regardless of weather, my ideal weekend get-away would be at the beach with best friends or family, fire-side puzzles, home-cooked dinners, champagne, and beach walks.

What has been your favourite long-haul adventure location? I am a big fan of Tokyo. It’s such a fun, lively city to explore and be inspired by. I love the people, the food and the shopping. The hair salons always look super-cool too!

Which products do you always travel with? Ha, my cosmetic bag always takes up half of my suitcase full of products I can’t live without!

Davines Nounou Shampoo and Davines Quickfix Circle Hair Mask are staples for my hair. The mask is in a small packet that works in three minutes, so perfect for travel. Also, Davines Authentic Replenishing Butter, which I use on my body. I am conscious of my sensitive skin being dehydrated from long-haul air travel, so I always pack Dermalogica Calm Water Gel, Dermalogica Sound Sleep Cocoon and Dermalogica Dynamic Skin Recovery SPF50. My favourite fragrance is Lancome La Vie Est Belle, which lives in my carryon luggage. I will always take a neutral shade of lip colour, like Lancome Rose Rhapsodie, or for a bright option, Rose’ Rose.

The Travel Edit

enjoying the scenic beaches and/ or countryside that we’re lucky to have throughout NZ. I love being surrounded by nature, relaxing in peace and quiet, whilst eating delicious food and drinking Man O’ War wine in the company of good friends or family!

What has been your favourite long-haul adventure location? I

love countries steeped with history and being a visual person, I’d have to say Prague ticked a lot of boxes for me. It was incredible being surrounded by gothic and even older architecture. Walking along Charles Bridge with its artists and entertainers was memorable,

and exploring Prague Castle, which apparently is the largest ancient castle in the world, was incredible. I draped a live boa constrictor around my shoulders there, which certainly felt adventurous to me!

Which products do you always travel with? For hair, Davines NouNou Shampoo and Conditioner and Sam McKnight Cool Girl. For beauty, Eve Lom Cleanser, Garnier Body Intensive 7 Days Rich Repairing Lotion and Lucas Pawpaw Ointment.

While I have a pro kit full of different brands I can source from, my personal makeup bag mainly pays homage to L’Oréal Paris. Must-haves include L’Oréal Paris True Match Foundation 2N (my winter shade), L’Oréal Paris True Match Blush in Rosy Cheeks, and L’Oréal Paris Unlimited Mascara.

What has been your favourite long-haul adventure location? I loved Turkey. It is such a fascinating country to explore in terms of its landscapes, culture, history and food!

Which products do you always travel with? I find my skin, hair and lips often get dry when travelling, so I always bring The Ordinary 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Moroccan Argan Oil for my hair, Kiehls Ultra Facial Cream for my face and EOS lip balm.

The Real Peel Sharleen Singh explores the A, B, P’s of hydroxy acids

2 3

AHA Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) represents acids derived from natural substances. For example sugar cane, milk, or apples. Working together by breaking down the glue holding your skin together, AHAs hurry along the skin’s natural shedding process. This is an ideal option for clients that have surface-level skin concerns, such as past acne scarring, as well as hyperpigmentation. AHA is also amazing for dry skin, as it’s made up of molecules that adore water, helping to improve the skin’s moisture content.

BHA

5

Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) travels further into the skin. While AHAs love water, BHAs on the other hand love oil. This means that they can bypass the oil that clogs pores, which allows it to dissolve the mix of sebum and dead skin cells that lead to acne. BHAs are absolutely perfect for clients that suffer from blackheads, whiteheads and inflammation. Commonly found paired with an AHA for best results, BHAs are your client’s best bet for

128 headway.net.nz

smooth, healthy, glowing skin – always paired with an SPF, of course.

PHA

The new kid on the block as of last year, Polyhydroxy Acids (PHA) are a gentler innovation.

Larger in molecular size than its cousin the AHA, PHAs work on the outer layer of the skin. AHAs work one step further, with BHAs penetrating the deepest into the skin. While not the ideal acid to suggest if acne is the main concern, PHAs are great for smoother skin, hydration, as well as signs of ageing. This is because they are also humectants, attracting water and adding a boost of moisture.

4 They also render excess iron in the skin ‘inactive’, which is often in overdrive as we age and can speed up the cellular ageing process.

The most commonly used PHA in skin care is derived from glucose, with the second most common from oxidized milk sugar. The most exciting part? Whilst sensitive skins would previously go nowhere near acids, PHAs have been found to be safe for some clients with rosacea and eczema, which is not possible with AHAs and BHAs. As always, every client needs to have a spot test done 6 first, but PHAs truly are an exciting development for the sensitive skin category.

xfoliation is a skin care staple, 1 particularly as a peel in the form of hydroxy acids, especially at this time of year. This important step helps to get rid of dead skin cells, keeps pores clean, and promotes blood flow, resulting in that much sought-after glow (yes, even in winter).

However, the word acid can be enough to send clients running for the door, so it’s important to be able to properly understand the terminology of these miracle workers.

The Art of Success Ashleigh Scott, Director of The Facialist, shares her advice on running a successful business

T

he beauty world is ever-changing.

There are new innovations and products constantly hitting the market and trends that are new and exciting. It’s often easy to lose direction in your business and get swept up in these latest trends, but it’s important to always remember your core values and philosophy, and stay true to the heart of your business to avoid losing sight of your ‘why’.

There have been many moments over the years where I have lost sight of this.

I became excited by new things and distracted by what others were doing. I wasn’t focused on my vision and because of that, we didn’t move forward. My vision became confused which in turn, confuses staff and clients.

In the last year I have seen extreme growth in my business, both in terms of sales and productivity, but also my happiness within my job. What changed?

I became extremely focused on my vision and values. I stopped noticing what others were doing, ignored what was happening in the industry and made some big changes in the areas of my business that weren’t working for me.

I set out a clear plan and strategy and every decision I have made since then is always with this vision and my values in mind.

Ensuring your core values and vision are forefront in your business is key.

When hiring new staff, working with a new partner or supplier, or making any business decisions, you must ensure that that person, or decision, aligns fully with these values. Any decision I make is led by my gut. Whenever I’ve gone

132 headway.net.nz

against my gut instinct, and made a decision that on paper seemed right, or would seemingly bring in more money, it’s never worked out. It’s easy to follow what others are doing and get swept up in the hype, but staying true to your values will ensure you always stay on track.

One of my values personally, and in my business, is simplicity. I don’t like a lot of ‘stuff’ or complicated procedures. Keeping things simple and uncomplicated ensures I stay focused. An example of this is our treatments. Rather than having several different facials on our treatment menu for different skin concerns or products, we have one facial that is completely customised. We have priced it to allow us to be able to use any product combination, so we can completely customise this treatment to our clients.

Simplicity doesn’t compromise on quality, but it ensures we have a clear head and focused sense of direction.

If you don’t yet have your core values worked out, sit down and make a list of all the things that are important to you in life and business. Narrow this list down to your top five. You will find some overlap, so choose the words that resonate with you the most and what they mean to you. These will then become the basis of your values. It’s important to get your team on board, and ensure they fully understand what each value means to you personally, how they align with your business, and how they affect them individually.

Go through and assess every area of your business, making sure everything aligns with your core values. If it doesn’t fit, no matter how great it is, it’s not right for your business. It’s easy to get swept up in new things, but once you gain this clarity, things shift and become easier.

You don’t need to question whether something is right for your business, because if it aligns with these values and your vision, it will all fall into place.

“Simplicity doesn’t compromise on quality, but it ensures we have a clear head and focused sense of direction”

The Millennials Dr Catherine Stone explores the selfie generation, with her findings from AMWC 2019, Monaco

BEAUT Y appearance medicine

W

hen the biggest cosmetic medicine conference in the industry starts talking about the rise of millennials in our industry, you stand up and take notice.

I was sitting in the front row at AMWC (Aesthetic & Anti-Ageing Medicine World Congress) in Monaco (as usual) waiting with my iPad ready, for my dear friend Dr Marva Safa to step up to the podium.

When I saw her session on the millennial mindset in the agenda, I thought it would be another talk focused on beating up this younger generation for their social mediafocused mindset, ‘Selfi-itis’ and higher rates of ‘Snapchat dysmorphia’, and how they are generally more self-absorbed and entitled.

I’m so glad to share I was wrong.

While millennials (born 1981-1996) have had a bad rap in the business circles I’m involved in, I’ve really only had a positive experience with them. Several of the most valuable members of our team are millennials, and many that I have met are highly socially conscious, time-efficient and productive members of society.

As they are now reaching ‘that age’ where cosmetic treatments might be considered useful (they will have an age range of 23-38 this year), millennials are fast becoming a growing market in cosmetic medicine. This highly connected, digitally-native generation are eager to enhance not just their appearance, but also their lifestyle. They are less likely to drink excessive alcohol than previous generations at the same age, and more likely to be interested in mindfulness, meditation and social consciousness.

Millennials can actually be divided into two main groups: the older group from 1981-87, who are now 32-38, and the younger ‘true’ digital natives from 1988-95, who grew up with smartphones and tablets, and are now 23-31.

When studied on their preferences for

cosmetic procedures, it was clear that they wanted quick and visible results, but still wanted to look natural, and most often, they were focused on prevention of ageing changes. They are often well researched, as they have checked out YouTube, Instagram and Google to figure out exactly what they want and need. Unlike other generations, they will often turn up for their initial appointment with a very clear idea of what they want to achieve with cosmetic procedures.

Botox is a popular preventive procedure, especially ‘Baby Botox’, in smaller doses, more regularly. The instant nature of dermal fillers and its ability to enhance lips, chins and cheeks to improve balance and proportions in the face also make them popular in

are exploring is profiloplasty - the balance of lips, nose, chin and jawline, and the newest Allergan product, Volux.

Launched at AMWC and due in New Zealand in early 2020, it’s designed to enhance the crisp jawlines and chins that are ‘on-trend’ right now internationally.

Often, millennials will start treatments with a clinic to improve their skin quality with skin treatments, Vampire facials and cosmedical skin products, and then start to ‘play’ with cosmetic injectables to enhance their looks.

It’s tough for a generation that has essentially grown up with selfies and social media, and much higher levels of self-scrutiny than previous generations.

Snapchat dysmorphia has been studied in the younger millennials, a type of body dysmorphic disorder where the

“They [millennials] are one of the most surveyed generations…. [and yet] it remains difficult to predict their behavior”- Olivier Oullier, PhD this ‘instant gratification’ age group.

However, it’s important to note that while they are interested in trends such as the Vampire facial and ‘Kylie Jenner lips’, they still want to look beautiful and natural.

Unfortunately, some clinicians are seeing their request for ‘visible results’ as a request for overblown lips and cheeks that actually destroy their beauty, and make them look like they are 40+, but have just had lots of treatment. We are seeing this become more common as less experienced injectors enter the market who are unable to coach or educate clients as to why huge lips or cheeks will destroy their proportions.

An experienced injector is more likely to be able to analyse the balance and determine that enhancing the chin or jawline (for example) may actually provide the results they are looking for, to become even more beautiful than they already are.

The ‘next big trend’ that millennials

affected person comes in with unrealistic requests to look like their Snapchatfiltered image.

Selfi-itis - the compulsive taking of selfies, many of which never make it to social media - went viral as a concept in 2014, initially as a hoax. Since then, it has been studied further and there is even a ‘selfi-itis behavioural rating scale’.

But these conditions are fortunately at the extreme end of the industry; those who previously brought in a picture of a celebrity or a doll and requested to look ‘exactly’ like them.

The vast majority of millennials have their heads screwed firmly on. They are more focused on creating a better life and a better planet than many of us in the generations before. They also want to look and feel great doing it, with safe and simple procedures that help them age beautifully. No wonder they are embracing cosmetic medicine – and the cosmetic industry is adjusting to accommodate them! headway.net.nz 135

SKIN TECH Anne O’Brien looks at the future of AI in beauty

136 headway.net.nz

A

s the beauty industry in New Zealand continues to grow, we are now beginning to see clearer distinctions between the types of beauty destinations on offer, and the corresponding treatments they have available. No longer do New Zealand consumers look for the ‘one-stop-shop’ for their beauty and wellness needs.

The Movement The trend towards more specialised treatments is being matched by the demand for bespoke products. The movement towards individualised skin care has begun, and some say the answer to this change in consumer demand lies with the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) to the industry. Whilst AI has its advantages, the ability to replace the human interaction is an ambitious one. At Headway, we believe it is important to understand what is and is not possible with AI, and we ask the question, what does AI mean for the beauty industry?

“Our new beauty feature investigates the advances in technology and the effect on skin care, treatments and self-care in the years to come.”

INTENSIVE TRAINING REVEALS HIGHEST PROFITABILITY RESERVE SEATS NOW for the OBSERV® CONFERENCE

Machine Intelligence Artificial Intelligence is described as machine intelligence and in the world of computer science, it is simply ‘the intelligence demonstrated by a machine’. The term is used to describe machines that mimic the thought processes (cognitive functions) of the human mind. In order for problems to be solved by a machine, a mass of data must be entered and collated in order for an informed decision to be made. Typically AI analyses its environment and takes action to create the optimum chance of success. AI makes the best decision possible based on the data provided. The key to the success of AI decision-making is in the gathering of information, and this gathering of information is expensive and takes time.

AI and the Beauty Industry The motivation to adapt to the digital age as efficiently and effectively as possible has resulted in huge investment into AI, and the pressure is on as to who will be first to market. Any article on AI in the beauty industry refers to a number of reoccurring names – Function Of Beauty, Proven, ModiFace (owned by L’Oréal) are a few. Each of them are investing vast amounts of money and time in AI to bring groundbreaking innovations to consumers. The general consensus is that product personalisation will have a huge impact on the mass market brands (or ‘big beauty’ as it is often called) when it eventuates. So far, the technology has presented as quite gimmicky and expensive to scale.

The Future Whilst still very much in its infancy, AI is something that, as beauty professionals, we should be keeping a close eye on. The latest beauty technology trends suggest that in the future, AI will be able to analyse skin type, contour and complexion, and come up with a home care recommendation. A massive change in the shopping experience to move from purchasing a mass-produced product, to something that is specifically produced just for you.

Just over ten years ago, skin care was only sold over the counter.

To be able to buy online, chat to a bot and have your product delivered overnight was something you would only see at the movies.

AI does not take the place of touch, or the need for human interaction, but it is coming and it will change the way we do business. The key is to be prepared for change and make sure you remain an informed expert in your field. No amount of datagathering will enable a machine to know what feels good. This is not a cognitive decision, but an emotional one and you’ve got that one covered.

Understanding skin conditions beneath the skin before they are visible empowers you to truly get results for your client.

Attending the OBSERV Conference Intensive will revolutionise the way you approach and treat your clients’ skin.

With the spotlight currently shining bright on this ingredient, Sharleen Singh explores the benefits of vitamin F

V

itamin F, more commonly known as linoleic acid, is certainly having its moment in the spotlight. Although the ingredient is by no means new, the conversation about it certainly is. When it comes to skin care, there are a handful of vitamins that therapists and clients alike have come to trust and love. Vitamins C, E and A all hold a dear place in our hearts, with this almighty trio known as covering (almost) all the basics. Enter vitamin F, the unsung hero ingredient that has been right under our noses this whole time.

Essentially a combination of different types of omegas which make up the barrier of your skin, the ‘F’ actually stands for fat. Although that might be enough to put clients off, we, as beauty experts, know that fats are critical for the skin. Especially within beauty products, there are more and more of these molecules, often referred to as lipids, which the skin needs for structure and function.

The focus of vitamin F is on the skin’s barrier. Without its presence, this barrier becomes compromised. As we somewhat begrudgingly age, as does this barrier. If this barrier function is working correctly, it can keep water in and irritants out. That’s why you’ll also find this ingredient in products targeted

for acne sufferers, sensitive skins, rosacea, eczema or dermatitis. This vitamin can also have an anti-inflammatory effect, which is one of the key causes of ageing.

This essential fatty acid cannot be made by our bodies and so we need to source it from food or apply it on the skin. Found in a variety of foods and skin care ingredients, including flaxseeds, pumpkin seeds and pumpkin oil, tofu, walnuts, hemp seed oil and rose hip oil, vitamin F contains the essentials to smooth and nourished complexions.

So why is vitamin F not more commonly recognised? It could be the keyword: fat. Unfortunately holding negative connotations, in the past it has been difficult to communicate the benefits of fats to clients. However, more recently there has been a real conversation regarding healthy fats, which is why vitamin F is popping up as a preference to the term linoleic acid.

Our prescription? A diet suggestion to include essential fatty acids and a skin care regime that includes vitamin F this winter, and all year round. The key to healthy skin may have been a misinformed keyword away this whole time. Strengthened, hydrated and healthy skin – yes please.

Food to Mood M

indfulness and wellness are essential concepts to embrace in-spa/salon. Adaptogens, specifically, are becoming increasingly popular mood-enhancers in the $4 trillion wellness industry. According to statistics reported by the American Botanical Council and based on market research, herbal dietary supplement sales were about $7.45 billion, up 7.7 percent from the previous year. In 2017, that number jumped to about $8.1 billion, up 8.5 percent.

Scientists and beauty developers are researching them, clients are talking about them, and so therefore beauty professionals should be embracing them. So what are they? Popping up everywhere, from juice recipes to supplements, these herbs are a star player in keeping cool, calm and collected. These non-toxic plants claim to help the body resist stressors of all kinds, whether physical, chemical or biological.

Adaptogens allegedly stabilise the nervous system, to adapt better to stress. However, the magic is all in the blend. Each adaptogen has a different function, so that is why you’ll find different blends for the specific ailment at hand. For anxiety, some research suggests that Siberian ginseng, rhodiola and 140 headway.net.nz

schisandra may help mediate fight-or-flight stress responses.

Tumeric has also been a hot topic as of late. High in flavonoids and with over 6,000 clinical studies attesting to its ability to protect and nourish the body, it prevents ageing, improves circulation, reduces inflammation, heals wounds and protects the liver and bowels.

How are you today? It’s something that is so often asked of clients during a consultation, but it’s surprising what we can find out if we probe a little further. You’ll find that more often than not, the need to relax is a top reason for spa visits. Stress is a major player in today’s society, especially with our faster, more connected world. Suddenly you’re receiving phone calls or emails once you leave the office. You’re available at the beep of a text message; there is no true disconnect.

Whilst a relaxation treatment is a beautiful thing to experience, it can be enhanced even further. For a long-term solution, look at a full mind and body experience; whether it be a turmeric-infused tea pre-treatment, or the use of mood-enhancing oils within the salon. Sometimes all it takes is a touch of old-world magic brought into the present.

LOOKING WITHIN Success Coach, Annabelle Matson, shares her tips on moving ahead in life @annabellematson annabellematson.com

Create The Inner Shift If we want to experience a new level in our lives, whether that be income, success, health or happiness, then we need to be willing to discard the old level, specifically beliefs, mindset and habits.

Using tools such as affirmations or vision boards are great, but if we are still walking around as the same person on the inside, where do you think we might be in 3, 6 or 12 months’ time?

This is the crucial inner shift that many people fail to address when it comes to implementing change in their lives, but it’s where you’ll see results quickly.

Letting Go Of The Old Self It doesn’t matter what we say we want to bring into our lives, it’s all about how we act. There is often a disconnect that exists here. For example, we say we would like to attract more love or health into our lives, but then we demonstrate thoughts, beliefs and habits of a person who feels unworthy of love, or doesn’t treat her body well. This is what I refer 142 headway.net.nz

to as the “old self”.

It feels comfortable staying where we are (in the old self), even though we want to change, because it’s what we know and it’s familiar. But no matter how hard we try, if we still interact with the world as the “old self”, we will continue to get more of the same in life.

Awareness is everything. When we become aware of the “old self” and what we do that doesn’t serve us, then we can start to make changes that align us with the life that we do want. Be aware

“It doesn’t matter what we say we want to bring into our lives, it’s all about how we act” of what it looks like to play out the “old self” so you can begin to change.

What kind of thoughts, beliefs, habits, patterns, and behaviours represent your “old self”? These are all the things you wish to release that won’t get you where you want to be. This could include people pleasing, rushing, playing small, being overly critical towards yourself, or not making time for yourself.

Leaning Into The New Self The next step to changing and welcoming the new is to define what it looks like to be in your “new self”. Go to the future place where you envision

business or career success, the loving relationship, or the level of health or income that you desire.

What is the mindset of that version of you? How does she think? What are her common thoughts about herself and what’s possible? How does she treat herself? What are her daily habits? How does she carry herself and interact with the world? It’s your job to become that person now, before anything has shifted in your physical reality.

Firstly, this will enable you to make decisions, take actions and behave in a way that naturally leads you to where you want to be. Secondly, life begins to respond to this new inner vibration that you are projecting and meets you at this new level, rather than your old level.

You’ll start attracting opportunities, people, resources and abundance that matches this.

The Choice Is Yours Every morning when you wake up you have a choice. When you hear thoughts come into your mind and you’re about to act in a certain way, ask yourself: “Do I want to recreate more of the same or do I want to move myself closer to the life I really want?”

From this point, consciously choose to align yourself more and more with your new self by thinking, acting and behaving as if you already have what you desire. Wonderful, positive changes will occur in your life when you choose to make these inner shifts first.

ith colder nights and more time spent indoors, winter is the perfect time to look within, in order to take stock of where we are and what we need to shift in order to reach where we would like to be at the end of 2019. Of course, take any action you need to mitigate the risks and then after that, you just have to move forward, even if it feels scary.

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.

The Essentialists, Lyndall Mitchell & Shannah Kennedy, share the importance of making space and finding time theessentialists.com.au

T

aking dedicated “me” time when you are juggling family, work, home and life may seem a little self-indulgent.

One of the reasons we don’t take “me” time is that we feel continuously guilty. Guilty that we should be doing more around the house, guilty that we should be doing more at work, and guilty that we should be doing more with the family, as well as exercising and eating well.

Just like our never-ending to-do lists, the feeling of doing more will never go away. Sure, there are always tasks and people that we can invest more time, effort, and energy into. However, we need to start with a solid base for ourselves first and foremost.

In generations gone by, it was a badge of honour to put yourself last on the list. We now know that by placing yourself last on the priority list only leads to feeling drained, exhausted, frustrated and resentful. To be the best partner, role model, friend and employee you can be, you must find a way to refuel yourself on a regular basis and take the regular, guilt-free “me” time that you need.

When you create the opportunity to have quiet time, it allows you to switch off, to turn down the noise, to self-reflect,

144 headway.net.nz

to rest and repair, to be present, to notice, to find solutions. As you evolve and life becomes more complex, you can become more serious and too focused on work, forgoing any real alone time, or pursuing the hobbies and personal interests that spark your enthusiasm, passion and zeal.

So often we tell the people dearest to us that we will be more present and loving when things slow down. We promise ourselves that we will get into peak physical condition and eat healthier food when we have a little bit more time. Yet, deep within us, each of us knows that there will never be a better time to live our happiest, biggest life than now. And if not today, then when? This very day is the day that you can make a choice to invest in your own time, time for you to switch off, slow down and be the person you know in your heart you have always wanted to be.

Switching off and having time for you is giving your body the time to rest and engage in activities that inspire and top up your tank. For some, this will start with giving yourself permission to just stop and carve out a small amount of time in your diary. Enhancing your happiness and overall health starts

name here name here

with giving yourself permission to feel better, be better, and become better. Self-care is an essential skill to master.

Mastering “me” time is a valuable skill and investment in your life. Gain some space, get in the garden, or focus on photography or a hobby. Schedule the time for exercise.

Take some time for yourself because when you feel better, you will be a source of positive energy to all those around you. Be light and most of all, have some fun.

How to create guilt-free soltidude 1. Overcome old fears See solitude as a quiet and inspiring experience. Gather your courage and try something that you really want to do, something that stretches you to leave your comfort zone.

It is outside your comfort zone that you will find your greatness.

2. Let go of guilt Some people are invigorated by social interactions and external stimulation (extroverts). Other people are recharged by quiet time spent alone, which helps them feel ready to go back into the world with renewed energy (introverts). Both extroverts and introverts have their own unique strengths. So, if you fall on the introverted side of the spectrum and need time alone to recharge, why feel guilty about it? It is simply a part of who you are; embrace and honour it.

3. Change your mindset Instead of feeling that quiet time is a guilty pleasure, recognise that it is an essential part of self-care and replenishing your energy levels. Solitude can provide the restorative silence and serenity you need after a fast-paced, challenging day.

Embracing your need for quiet time is one of the greatest gifts that you can give to yourself and to those around you. When you have the chance to enjoy quiet, peaceful moments to yourself and feel recharged, you are in a better position to be kind to others, care for your loved ones, and make a difference in the world.

“WelleCo’s Elle Macpherson is an infrared fan, with her own portable sauna in her home that she uses every night to unwind, detox and boost her immune system.”

EMBRACE ANTIMICROBIALS Consuming superfoods is one of the best ways to build your immune strength on a day-to-day basis. Garlic boosts your immunity thanks to its incredibly potent antimicrobial and antiviral properties. It contains a powerful sulphur compound, allicin, which is known to help treat gastro-intestinal disturbances, kill parasites and bring yeast infections to a grinding halt.

Immunity Boost WelleCo shares tips on staying healthy this winter, from a change in menu to the benefits of infrared

A

healthy body depends on a strong immune system to be able to effectively defend itself against things that can harm it, like viruses and bacteria. All of us can experience a decline in our immunity. For instance, when cold and flu season strikes, or when we’re particularly stressed. But the good news is that by being mindful of what we put in our bodies and how we treat ourselves, we can significantly improve our immune system’s natural aptitude for keeping us safe from harm.

TRY A BONE BROTH UP YOUR VITAMINS The gut is known as the epicentre of strong immunity, as around 80% of our immune cells live there, so it makes sense that what we eat can have a huge impact. By strengthening our gut, we can strengthen our immune system.

A vitamin C deficiency has been associated by many studies with an increased frequency and duration of common colds, alongside immune system defects. Vitamin C fights off free radicals and protects against infectious diseases, so it’s crucial to keeping your immune system healthy.

Zinc also impacts several areas of the immune system and acts as an antioxidant, fighting off free radicals. Zinc deficiency is one of the most common deficiencies worldwide, as many of the foods that we eat don’t contain a sufficient amount to support our immune system, making it doubly important to make a conscious effort to add more zinc into your diet.

Bone broth is having somewhat of a moment in 2019. Its benefits reach to the immune system, with natural gelatin, amino acids, and collagen helping to heal the gut, improve wound healing and supporting the health of important immune cells.

STEP INTO THE SAUNA Several studies have found that using an infrared sauna on a regular basis improves the health of our white blood cells, along with the increased temperature making it more difficult for bacteria and viruses to survive in our body. The theory goes that when you’re sweating it out in the sauna, you’re amplifying the body’s natural detoxification processes through sweat, removing toxins from the body that may otherwise cause an increase in inflammation.

Escape to Wellness Sharleen Singh shares her experience at the Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat wellness event in Auckland

W

hen the opportunity arose to learn from the experts at award-winning Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat based on the Gold Coast, it was a no-brainer. Advice from leaders in wellness, hailing from the retreat behind the largest spa in the southern hemisphere?

Sign me up.

The Auckland event involved General Manager and Wellness Director, Sharon Kolkka, as well as guest presenter Dr Karen Coates. Dr Karen has over 30 years’ experience in the health arena, with degrees in Medicine and Surgery, and is an experienced herbalist.

In short, she knows her stuff.

We began with a guided meditation led by coach, yoga, and mindfulness teacher Rachel Grunwell, setting a relaxed, open-minded tone for the rest of the evening. Sharon and Dr Karen were to cover nutrigenomics; the exciting science of epigenetics and how this affects our genetic predisposition.

On the topic of ancestral diets, imagine my surprise when we were told that wonder-drink green tea isn’t for everyone - it depends on your ancestry. It was found that people with a Scandinavian background have difficulty in processing polyphenols in green tea, which can result in liver failure. In other words, there is never a one-size-fits-all (unless we’re talking about a magical Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants moment).

It was explained that what and how you eat has a major influencing factor on your health. On a sombre note, we were asked what the number one killer of women was in New Zealand and Australia. After a few incorrect guesses, the answer was surprisingly, dementia.

Dr Karen explained that by eating just 30 grams of walnuts a week, you can help decrease your chances of dementia by at least 40%. A huge number, considering what an easy diet addition this can be.

There’s also a science to the way we’re eating. Scoffing down food may suit our busy lifestyles, however is terrible for body and mind. Chewing food at least 30 times means that stomach acids

150 headway.net.nz

don’t have to access the backbone of happy-maker serotonin, which leads to grogginess and bad moods.

My takes from this wellness insight?

One, eat more walnuts. Two, I and everyone else needs to book a wellness package across the ditch to Gwinganna – seriously, look at these photos. And three, link your food habits to your ancestry. If in doubt, always follow your gut. gwinganna.com
