Case Study

Insurance may not sound like an exciting topic, but it is nevertheless a very important aspect of therapy practice, whether you are a student or a qualified therapist. Here are some case studies that illustrate why it is important to have the appropriate level of cover.

Case Study

1

WAX SPILL

This claim was for damages to a carpet following an accidental wax spill.

Although the therapist had laid down plastic sheeting, when the pot fell from the trolley, the wax spread beyond the sheeting, onto the client’s carpet. The underwriters approved the claim and a substantial pay-out was paid to the client to cover the cost of a new carpet.

Standard Professional Indemnity Insurance, Federation of Holistic Therapists and MABT subscriptions including all benefits of being a member of these associations costs

only €245 a year.

2

A Bogus Claim

This claim was for a burn/scar allegedly caused by an eyebrow waxing following a walk-in appointment.

The salon had no record card for the client, she was not booked in the diary, and none of the staff recalled treating her. The salon owner produced a copy of the diary showing the day’s bookings when the alleged incident occured and it was obvious there were no therapists available to provide the waxing treatment. The owner also provided copies of the treatment price list that proved the amount the client stated she paid was more than the salon charged.

Along with this information, and copies of other client record cards, consultation forms and written details of booking-in procedures, the insurance underwriters produced enough evidence to suggest that the client must have been mistaken as to where she received the treatment. The claimant did not pursue the matter further and the case was closed.

Active Optima IPL in Action.

Deep Follicles & Obstinate Hair Deep hair follicles are found, on the back and chest when it comes to men, whereas in women, it is found at the back of the upper thighs. Quite a number of sessions are required to get rid of such hair follicles with other IPL and Laser machines as much of the energy is scattered on the skin. But with OPTIMA 518, because of the GEM-PL Technology (Geometrical Energy Management) working under the skin and because of a special Deep Hair Follicle program, fantastic results are obtained in lesser sessions. Hence less costs for the client.

OPTIMA 518 uses special hair removal techniques to remove very LIGHT AND BLOND HAIR mainly on women’s upper lip surface. It also has a special program to treat people with SKIN SENSITIVITY TO LIGHT.

Pigmentation & Aging Spots The number of melanocytes is the same in all people, differences in skin colour are due mainly to the amount of pigment these cells produce and disperse to keratinocytes.

Some people have freckles due to the accumulation of melanin. As one grows older, age spots may develop. These flat blemishes look like freckles and range in colour from light brown to black.

With OPTIMA 518, very good results are achieved after two to four treatments.

Skin Rejuvenation The OPTIMA 518 uses specific light intensity doze and broadband wavelengths that enable it to stimulate the cells to produce more collagen and induces collagen and elastic tissue synthesis, which results in the rejuvenation of the skin. This procedure can be done every two to three weeks.

OPTIMA 518 is fast, efficient, painless and affordable with very low running costs. Plus great PROVEN RESULTS.

ITEC level 4 Diploma in Laser and Intense Pulsed Light Treatments in collaboration with Nefertiti Beauty Academy starting in October.

your business

needs a clean start.

A powerful, new revenue stream for all cosmetology professionals As the first skin care system aimed at helping teens cut through the hype to get their healthiest skin ever, you may be surprised to find Clean Start is rooted in skin health legacy!

Clean Start was created by the skin health experts at Dermalogica, the brand that’s been changing the face of skin care for more than 25 years. It became clear that no one was addressing the needs of teens – not only with products that get results, but also with the education they need – when Dermalogica Founder Jane Wurwand’s own daughters entered their teenage years.

Skin care product choices available to teens may be ample, but they aren’t good choices. Products for teens often contain harsh and inexpensive ingredients to strip the skin of oil, and are filled with artificial fragrances and colours – all things that can irritate and strip oil from skin, causing more problems than you started with!

And so we began to develop Clean Start, but not without knowing that we needed real skin care situations from the teens we were trying to help!

Instead of creating a focus group (too formal, and quite simply, not fun), we invited a council of young adults to work with us on the naming of the products, the labeling, packaging copy, and what worked – and what didn’t.

The result is Clean Start, a system of eight dual-action, fun, fresh, skin-healthy products that feel and smell great without being full of stuff that’s bad for skin – such as artificial fragrances, colours, mineral oil, and S.D. alcohol. Another thing you might like: we don’t test on animals.

Loyalty gifts, Summer / Autumn 2011

We invite you to explore this site www.cleanstart.dermalogica.com/uk/ to learn more about clean start, and how it can help you build a better relationship with the younger generation clientele. Boost your clientele and business with Clean Start by taking the following steps: 1. Open an account with Clean Start 2. Promote your salon with a Clean Start event and benefit from our on-going support promotions and loyalty schemes.

The very essence of beauty Born on the Emerald Coast, Antoine Gedouin has always been fascinated by the ocean. A seasoned traveller, he has explored the four corners of the planet, inspired and attracted to faraway seas and their depths. Full of passion for these depths rich in diverse corals, he decided to bring his dream to life in 1995: to create a natural marine brand with marine active ingredients that come from the most beautiful seas in the world, and with FACIAL AND BODY treatments inspired by original Asian techniques.

THE IMPORTANCE OF ALGAES IN OUR DAILY SKINCARE Phytocéane research draws from the heart of the oceans and seas around the globe, the rare and essential active ingredients for your beauty and well being.

10

SEPTEMBER 2011 | issue 7

Facial Brightening Skincare Objective: Combat your skin imperfections, restore translucency and achieve a luminous complexion. The Lumière Océane products

by Phytocéane will help eliminate dark spots commonly known as age spots or pigmentation.

This specific range is also very effective in treating acne scars, open pores and uneven skin tone.

So awaken your skin thanks to the high performance ingredients formulated within the Lumière Océane range.

Beauty

Phytocéane gathers the best that the sea has to offer, immersing you in a world of imagination and dreams.

Researchers have demonstrated that the skin and the outer crust of the algae have similar behaviors.

Algae undergo the same environmental stress as our skin (pollution, changes in temperature, wind sun, etc).

They have developed specific defense systems that scientists have observed and analyzed in order to use them in Phytocéane marine skincare products.

The skin's beauty is ensured by perfect hydration, this is why Phytocéane has selected Jania Ruebens as the main algae present in each FACE and BODY product renowned for its intensive moisturizing powers.

This extraordinary algae works in association with other natural active ingredients to treat the skin's

concerns specific to each man's and woman's skin.

It offers a: REMINERALIZING & BALANCING ACTION - restructuring the skin by providing calcium and magnesium.

OPTIMUM HYDRATION LEVELS - due to high water reserves.

AN EXTRORDINARY MOISTURIZING EFFECT - that is immediate and lasting.

THE SKIN CAN PROTECT ITSELF NATURALLY - against daily external stress.

Phytocéane skin care with its exclusive professional treatment methods and expertise awaits you to provide your skin and body concerns with extraordinary long lasting and effective results.

Phytocéane has always been my remedy to cure all facial concerns. In 2006 I had the opportunity to be trained at the Beaute Santé in France and since then I was certified as a brand trainer. Being a therapist I strongly believe in treating the skin from within, not just the superficial dead skin cells.

This is the main reason why I have been using and recommending this result driven skincare throughout my profession. Its highly active molecules have the ability to penetrate the skin, nourishing the basal skin layer thus treating the root of any facial concern.

So whether its ageing, pigmentation, dark circles, rosacea, acne, uneven skin tone, dryness or simple dehydration Phytocéane is what I highly recommend to achieve the best, long lasting results for your skin.

Roberta Borg Bird of Paradise Beauty, Zejtun.

I have been recently introduced to this amazing skincare range and I am very pleased to treat my clients’ skins since I always achieve great results and satisfaction.

I highly recommend Phytocéane as you can feel and see an instant difference in the skin thanks to its innovative and effective formulation derived from natural marine ingredients. I highly recommend Phytocéane if you want to achieve great long lasting results in the skin.

Roberta Grech Beauty Secrets, Naxxar.

I have been working with Phytocéane products for the past five years and have not stopped using this brand ever since. The thing I love most about Phytocéane is the fact that these products are very gentle on the skin thus very safe on all skin types including very sensitive skin. Being derived from natural marine ingredients, Phytocéane provides the skin with the best moisturizing and hydration levels. The skin is perfectly clean, radiant and soft which gives my client and myself satisfaction after every facial treatment.

MABT launches

Professional Indemnity insurance for Beauty Therapists Think you don’t need insurance?

Think again.

Ms Magda Magri Naudi, President of MABT

T

he Malta Association of Beauty Therapists (MABT) was set up in 1993 when the sector of Beauty Therapy was growing and the need was felt to set up an Association. In 1995 MABT was a founder member of the Confederation Professionelle Europenne des Estheticiennes Cosmeticiennes (CEPEC). Malta held the Presidency once and ever since 2005 Ms. Magri Naudi who is the current president of MABT also holds the position of Secretary General in CEPEC. The incessant work of MABT in Malta throughout the years with various authorities, Ministries and with other federations both in Malta as well as in Europe seems to be giving results and finally the Sector of Beauty Therapy in Malta will be regulated and organised.

Much work has been done during the last three years regarding competence, quality and qualifications.

SEPTEMBER 2011 | issue 7

The first committe on the first public meeting at the Osborne Hotel Valletta on the 8th March (Woman's day) 1993.

The Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT) has always been a guiding light since our Beauty therapy Training system veered towards the English system be it VTCT, ITEC, BABTEC or others. With this regard there were many unanswered questions and loopholes in the Maltese Beauty Sector. We fought and gained rights both in Malta as well as within Europe thanks to our Presence in Europe through CEPEC and UEAPME (EU organistion for SMEs). MABT together with the Malta Standards Authority is currently taking part in a project for the standardization of Beauty Therapy in Europe.

When Malta joined the EU all sectors started to benefit from various business exchanges or other business initiatives. Many sectors who were not under the umbrella of an Association were advised to form one since there must always be a representative body as a spokesperson for any kind of requests or demands. Exchange visits were held to various European countries on a sectoral basis. The Maltese beauticians had visited Wales and it was a rewarding expierence however when the Welsh had to return the visit they were not able to since the Maltese Beauticians did not have Professional indemnity Insurance.

MABT had already been working on this subject with FHT but at this stage it was decided that we really had to find a broker to take over and introduce the importance of Professional Indemnity Insurance. Besso having been the brokers for FHT at the time and MABT organised a seminar where Mr. Roddy Caxton Spencer and two other representatives came over from UK. This work was then pursued with our own broker in Malta for the following two years until the reorganisation of MABT.

Standard Professional Indemnity Insurance, FHT and MABT subscriptions including all benefits of being a member of these associations costs

only €245 a year.

Is it worth taking the risk of being without insurance?

MABT, FHT and GlobalCapital Insurance Brokers Ltd. are now offering a fantastic package that includes many membership benefits and Professional Indemnity Insurance which is specifically tailor-made to suit beauty therapists’ needs.

During the launch of the package, Thomas Attard pointed out many valid reasons why each and every Beauty Therapist should have Professional Indemnity. Many members understood the concept and the points being made.

MABT, FHT and GCIB have been working for the right insurance product for many years. Maltese beauty therapists can now benefit from the many years of experience FHT has and immediately enjoy the great support and many benefits that only the largest professional association for beauty therapists in the UK and Ireland can offer.

A clip which was shown as part of the presentation during this launch of the product explaining the benefits of membership and the tailor-made Insurance package can be viewed at www.fht.org.uk/ST_Online/DVD/ MABT thanks the Malta University Residence Management for the provision of the Hall.

Most information about the FHT can be found online. Therapists who would like to get to know more information about membership and insurance should contact Thomas Attard, Head - Insurance Broking at GlobalCapital Insurance Brokers Ltd. on either 2279 6425 or 9944 7557 / thomas.attard@globalcapital.com.mt Thomas Attard, Head - Insurance Broking at GlobalCapital Insurance Brokers Ltd.

Interview with

Jesmond Cilia

Operations Director, Laser Express How did it all start? Why a franchise?

The Laser Express™ Franchise originated from 10 years of intense involvement in the laser hair removal business through Estetika, our outlet in Sliema. Estetika started operating in October 2001 and has since performed thousands of laser hair removal treatments. Our second outlet was opened in mid 2007 at the Athenaeum Spa in the prestigious Corinthia Palace Hotel in Attard. It was from this understanding of the cosmetic dermatology business and specifically from laser hair removal that the Laser Express™ franchise was born.

What are your objectives?

The Laser Express™ team has only one objective –affordable, effective and comfortable light-based permanent hair reduction for men and women of all ages and skin tones. The foci of this objective are on affordable and permanent. These deliverables are directed both to the end consumer who has a treatment and the franchisee. Laser Express™ offers standard cross-outlet price and is the best value for money on the island.

As a start up, do you provide equipment to the franchisee?

Laser Express™ is not only about quality equipment provision – that is only part of the story. Laser Express™ offers our potential business partners unique laser hair removal franchise opportunities in the rapidly expanding laser hair removal industry, and the profitable marketplace of non-invasive discretionary medical procedures in Malta. Laser Express™ is currently offering laser hair removal franchises in protected regions across Malta to the right partners and entrepreneurs.

What are the benefits of being a franchisee?

Laser Express™ is a business format franchise. This means that the franchisor prescribes for the franchisee a complete plan, or format, for managing and operating the establishment. The plan provides step-by-step procedures for major aspects of the business and, anticipating most management problems, provides a complete matrix for management decisions confronted by the franchisees. The major advantage of buying a business format franchise is that the “system,” the means for distributing goods and or services, has been developed, tested, and associated with the trademark and offers a guaranteed quality offering.

Why should one be interested in this market?

In the franchising world, this type of business is considered to be niche market business in the sense that, if conducted properly, with the right choice of location, equipment, trained staff and promotion, it will almost always make money. The epilation market is one of the few to have sustained double digit growth through boom and bust.

If you are interested, the Laser Express™ team would be very happy to visit you and present you with further information. Alternatively you could visit our website: www.laserexpress.com.mt

Interview with

Ms Daniela Borg of Beautika Beauty Clinic When did you first decide to incorporate Laser Express™ into your practice?

I had been meaning to add light based epilation to my practice for a very long time but was not happy with what I was offered. I was approached by the Laser Express™ team and they offered me professional training, marketing and continuous technical support. This they have given me – together with piece of mind!

How has Laser Express™ transformed your practice?

Laser Express™ resulted in an ever increasing number of clients in my salon. These clients then try some other treatment and give me a good opportunity to cross sell products and services. This service has definitely increased my revenue.

What in your opinion makes the Laser Express™ franchise concept shine with respect to other similar providers?

I would say that primarily it is the professional friendly attitude of the Laser Express™ team. The experience, knowledge and business-like approach makes the Team a cut above the rest.

Do you find support from the Laser Express™ team in terms of training and after-sales?

I received intensive training from Laser Express™ which helps me to perform at my best. Even more, I am in continuous contact with the team so should a problem arise I have their full backing. Laser Express™ helped me immensely in promoting light-based hair removal as a new treatment at my salon. Just the thought of having someone to rely on gives me peace of mind Do you find support from the Laser Express™ team in terms of training and after-sales?

Yes, they have been supportive from the beginning and offered regular training and updates. The Laser Express™ team is just a phone call away if a problem arises. The team helped me a lot to promote this new treatment in my locality and their continuous support is second to none.

Do you intend to continue working with Laser Express™ in the future?

Yes, definitely! I intend to continue my association with Laser Express™ team and grow with this franchise.

International School of Hairdressing The International School of Hairdressing was established seven years ago. It has been successfully preparing students for the City and Guilds Diploma in Women’s Hairdressing (IVQ Level 2, MQF Level 3).

early June, either in the morning or in the evening.

The school has its own lecture room and fullyequipped salon. Practice sessions are carried out under the strict and continuous guidance of our experienced and qualified tutors.

The school is an approved City and Guilds programme and examination centre that is licensed by the Malta Education Department, the National Commission for Higher Education (NHCE) and the Malta Qualifications Council (MQC).

The International School of Hairdressing was a pioneer in adopting the new syllabus launched

by City and Guilds in February 2008, namely Diploma in Hairdressing 6902-61 and the Advanced Diploma in Hairdressing 6902-64. This new system was only adopted by other centres in the UK in October 2009.

The course is an in-depth study in the theory and practice of hairdressing, providing the knowledge needed to work in the hairdressing industry and open one’s own salon, after qualifying with the Diploma. It is aimed at school leavers aged 16 years and older, who wish to pursue a career in hairdressing, as well as other hairdressers already working in a salon, who have not yet achieved a recognised qualification. The International School of Hairdressing is also an excellent opportunity for people wishing to restart a career after having stopped working to bring up their children.

Create design: Marika Debono / Photographer: Ian Pace @ LuxMoments

During the two scholastic years, lessons are carried out twice a week between October and

The 6902 system requires that students pass from a theoretical examination, prepare an assignment and also pass the practical assessments. Each student is then graded on each examination and an average grade is given per subject.

Certificates are issued by City and Guilds based on the student’s average grade achievement throughout the two scholastic years. In addition, the school also provides its own certification which is approved by the Malta Qualifications Council.

Once the school leavers obtain the Diploma they may proceed to the Advanced Diploma

The school is centrally located in Santa Venera, just off Psaila Street, easily accessible by bus from either Valley Road or Fleur de Lys. The International School of Hairdressing is on the board of the Hair and Beauty Federation Malta.

which is your favourite

umberto giannini?

Marianne from Serenity Hair & Beauty, Qormi My favourite salon-use products for blowdries are the Blow-dry Cream, Straightening Gloss Serum, Heat Protection Mist and Shapely Body Mousse. Since my hair is curly I use the Curl Friends Scrunching Jelly to increase the lift and volume and Shapely Curls Mousse for a softer and more defined look.

Melissa from Li Mei Hair & Beauty, Mosta I was the first salon to stock UG in Malta.

I personally use the Beautifully Blonde Enhancing Shampoo. I like it because it helps me and my clients maintain a beautiful blonde colour without brassiness and unwanted tones. Clients have given us very good feedback and they come back for more. They are eager to try the products because they appear in international fashion magazines, such as 'Vogue'.

Roberta from Shine On Hair Studio, Siggiewi The UG range has capturing packaging and the wide choice of products makes it versatile for everyone to use. My favourite product is the Sleek & Chic Blow-dry cream. It is also the best-selling product in my salon. It smells great, it protects the hair from hair-dryer heat and helps blow dries last longer.

Joanne & Martina from Effleurage Hair & Beauty Studio, San Gwann The UG Beauty Secrets range sells mostly in our salon. Especially in summer, when clients experience dry hair, the Beauty Secrets range is the perfect solution to repair and hydrate hair. The revolutionary Overnight Beauty Moisture Balm is like a woman’s night face cream, but for the hair. It penetrates the hair shaft without the need to rinse out.

Tanya from Tanya’s Salon, Sliema Lovely packaging! They are like a little bijoux in the bathroom. They are well – priced and there is alot of information on the pack. I like to use the Incredible Body Mousse for blow dries and to set rollers, especially for old people. It gives flexibility, has good hold, silkiness and shine and gives long-lasting results.

Clients also like the UG Mini range for travelling.

Wayne from Xevo’ Couture, Sta Venera I'm in love with the Back Comb in a Bottle. I use it personally and on clients. It gives instant volume to the hair without the need for damaging the hair with backcombing. No other product gives this effect and I manage to achieve amazing hair effects.

Packaging is attractive and products have a long – lasting wonderful smell.

taking your salon a step in the green direction.

At Just Beauty we pride ourselves in bringing you up to date with the ins and outs of running a beauty practice, and in providing you with ideas with which to improve it! It is therefore obvious that we should holler with delight while introducing the Easy Dry towels!

the eco-towel that doesn’t cost the earth.''

What if we could tell you that in one go you can save electricity, water and time by doing away with the endless chore of washing towels? And because of their low environmental impact and biodegradeability, by switching to the easy dry solution you would also be taking your salon a step in the green direction.

The Easydry special layering system soaks up moisture more effectively than any traditional towel.

Simon, on' 'Hair by Sim

We met up with one of the many salon owners, Simon from Hair by Simon who early on figured out the benefits of easy dry!

See what he has to say!

fact box

absorbent hygienic

Easydry uses the latest technology to create soft, fresh-smelling and highly absorbent disposable towels that impress and reassure clients.

convenient

Easydry liberates you from the labourious task of laundering cotton towels and saves on valuable storage space.

How did you hear of Easy Dry, and what made you switch from conventional towels to them? I heard

about Easy Dry Towels during the time I was working in London.

I decided to switch to Easy Dry towels first of all because they are very hygienic, I also find them more comfortable since I don't have to take the coventional towels home with me and have to wash them.

Asides from rising water and electricity bills, and detergent costs, did you previously find that you threw away a lot of towels which where stained with hair dyes etc? Yes It's true the electricity and water bills have been reduced and I've noticed that I'm not throwing away any good towels which are just stained.

Do you find that the quality of the material the Easy Dry towels are made of is suitable for your salon?

What do your clients think? They are soft and many

cost-effective

Using Easydry towels frees you from the fear of water and power bills spiralling out of control. Easydry will also free up employee time.

environmentally friendly

With Easydry you no longer have to launder cotton towels (or send them out to be laundered) which eats up precious energy with washing and especially drying. Every product in our range is made from certified renewable sources, where trees are planted for every one harvested and so helping to stop deforestation.

• Made from renewable sources • Completely recyclable (a recycling bag is included in every box) • 100% biodegradable (within three months) • All packaging is compostable

clients like them since they are not using a towel after a stranger because they know its new.

How do you find the support provided by Mark Paris, the eco-towel supplier? I think that he is very

efficient since when we make an order he doesn't take long to deliver it to us.

Do you recommend the Easy Dry solution to other salon owners?

Yes, and I've already told my hairdresser friends about them.

Tips on starting off your own business.

Do your research and ensure that you will be able to manage all aspects of running your own business. Go to a financial advisor to guide you through the financial and accounting aspects of the business. Do a business plan, as this is a vital tool in your project. It will give you all the information you need to be aware of when running your own business. If not properly equipped to deal with the administrative side of the business, one can easily fail to be successful. Refer to professionals and do not do it all yourself!

Be aware of health codes and local legislation. Ensure that you have all the equipment and supplies to follow the health code, as well as the expertise to uphold it. Double check before opening.

Location is critical to the success of your business. Ideally choose a location that is strategically situated on a busy street or commercial centre. Identify existing businesses in the area. Having two salons on the same street does not make much sense!

Create a clean and safe atmosphere.

Salons thrive on an environment that is clean, safe and relaxing. Cleanliness is an important element that can draw clients in again and again. Be sure your towels, baths, and other equipment are washed, clean and odor-free. Your clients must be able to trust that the products and tools that you use on them are of top-notch quality and safe. You cannot afford to put your clients at risk from infections, as it could damage your reputation. Staff cleanliness is also a must; you're expected to look your best to set an example!

Hire qualified and trained personnel. It is important that you employ only qualified and well-trained beauticians, stylists, and other personnel. It is your responsibility as the salon owner to ensure that your personnel are adequately trained and understand each procedure offered. Offer regular training and keep them happy!

Keep your clients satisfied.

A salon’s best marketing tool is wordof-mouth. If a client is happy with the results, he or she will come back to your salon; after all, it's a question of trust.

Satisfied clients can then help advertise your business to their friends, family, and colleagues.

The 1950's

MISS WORLD FINAL

LONDON Miss World the greatest beauty pageant is scheduled to take place on November 6 in London. It will return to the same place where it started in 1951. The first Miss World pageant, introduced as part of the Festival of Britain celebrations, attracted a huge audience which guaranteed its success.

Thanks to its founder Eric Morley’s PR expertise, the first Miss World pageant welcomed a global audience greater than international events like the World Cup and the Olympic Games. The BBC televised Miss World from 1959 to 1979 and Thames Television picked up the contract from 1980 to 1988. At its peak, the show claimed an audience of 27.5 million in Britain alone a figure comparable to that of a royal wedding. Fifty years on from the first pageant, Miss World still pulls in the crowds and can boast an annual audience of over a billion.

The first Miss World, Sweden's Kiki Haakonson, was the first and last winner to be actually crowned in a two-piece swimsuit. The event was held at the Lyceum theatre with 26 contestants taking part. During the first decade of the pageant’s success, the outfits of contestants continued to raise eyebrows and grab headlines. In 1959, Loretta Powell of the United States arrived at the House of Commons in London clad in a Stetson, ruffled shirt and cowboy trousers. She may have got away with wearing what at the time was considered a tad outrageous, but she didn’t get away with her ‘guns’. The two stern-faced coppers in charge demanded she hand over her ‘firearms’ - even copies are not allowed in the British Parliament.

The event got bigger and bigger and today 120 countries congregate at this spectacular show and Malta has its participant amongst these beautiful ladies. Modelle International are the exclusive licence holders for MALTA

Miss world 2010 Blue-eyed blonde American Alexandra Mills was appointed as Miss World United States 2010 to represent her country at the 2010 Miss World Pageant held in Southern China. She placed first runner-up during Miss World Beach Beauty fast track event held in October and also placed second runner up in Miss World Top Model, becoming the eventual winner of Miss World.

Emma Wareus of Botswana came in second place and Adriana Vasini of Venezuela placed third.

anniversary celebrations. She was invited to attend L’Oreal Fashion week in Melbourne, and other interesting countries.

Alexandria Mills did not miss out on the opportunity to help others when she, together with Miss World 1st runner-up Emma Wareus, visited two kids Richard Belmes, 7, and Kurt Durian, 6, who both have acute lymphoblastic leukemia.The two children received support from the Makati.

Mills will crown her successor at the end of the event of Miss World 2011.

Alexandra Mills is also a fashion model and is listed with Elite Model agency.

Her first official visit as Miss World was in Korea where she was accompanied by Mrs Julia Morley. Together they attended a variety club Japan’s 5th Anniversary. Besides other places visited during these 11 months, were Singapore, Philippines, Malaysia Beijing where she attended Phoenix TV 15th SEPTEMBER 2011 | issue 7

Nails major issue. It is important that a false economy is not made.

Courses that are very cheap are also very suspicious. I have seen courses advertised at Euro 140 including a kit! I would run a mile from this type of course and here’s why.

education in nail technology Just Beauty caught up with Sue Caruana and this is what she recommends to aspiring Nail Techs.

One of the largest growing sectors within the beauty sector is “Nail Care” of all sorts. It is therefore no surprise that learning to become a Nail Technician seems to be the ‘in thing’ at the moment and with so many courses available, so many different systems and techniques, the million dollar question is… which course do you choose?

How do you choose the right one for you? Which system/ product do you go for?

There are some very basic considerations to be made in the initial stages of choosing the right course/education for you.

One should ask..

Why are you doing this course?

Do you want to be a full time professional nail tech or is this going to be a part time job for you?

Are you a beautician who just wants to add a service to your existing ones?

What times are you available to attend lessons?

When do you want to do your course?

What type of course do you want – a fast track course or one which is spread out over weeks?

What type of certification do you want/need ?

Different suppliers and educators will offer you some choices in these regards so you must start by answering the above questions and then finding out who can give you what you are looking for with the product of your choice.

All courses are in some way or other related to a product or brand so choosing your educator will be partially based on your product of choice.

At the moment money is tight for us all and cost will be a

Learning to become an Educator does not come cheap. Before even being considered for one of these courses, one has to be an established and experienced nail technician that takes a minimum of 2 years. All educator courses involve travel or foreign tutors which are on average Euro 350 per day and depending on the Product company they are representing, becoming an educator takes a few stages and is not achieved in a couple of days.

It is therefore obvious that any educator worth their salt, will value their time and expertise and want to be reimbursed for it.

There are different types of educators, ones that concentrate on theory and ones that concentrate on practice. Both aspects are important and a lot of reading and research should be done at home by the student whilst using your class time to learn as much practical knowledge as possible. Some Educators are not willing to part with all their hard earned knowledge and experience so it is imperative that you find an Educator who is willing to teach you all they know, someone who has the experience and who sees her role as a partnership that may last many years.

Personally, I find that the more knowledge I give my students, the better they become at their job and the more confident they become in using the products I sell. The more successful they become, the more product I sell. So, to me, it is a win win situation.

It takes a lot of energy and patience to teach someone how to ‘do nails’ and I therefore get a great sense of pride when one of my students succeeds in achieving the required level of expertise that will ensure a decent income for her.

Being a Nail Tech is not as easy as it is perceived to be. It requires long hours and dedication and can place an enormous strain on the body. You need to be a people's person, willing to deal with clients all day long and enjoy being in the service industry. It requires on going education, seminars and product knowledge. Also, it is not a job that everyone can do; with all the will in the world, not all of us can master this profession or have the knack for it. For those who succeed it is a job that is enjoyable and rewarding.

Happy Learning :)

ext year Modelle International is celebrating its 25th Anniversary.

Its founder Sue Rossi takes a look at her company’s achievements and gives us insight into the future of Modelle International. "I like meeting people everyday. Life is full of challenges which keep me going and make me stronger."

Sue looks back at the past 25 years with courage to move forward. Such encouragement derives from her past models that have since started a family and enrol their children in the academy. Past models also became TV presenters while others ventured into modelling assignments overseas.

"I must say I was a lucky young lady when I started my career as a model, I travelled and met overseas models who already had made a good name and worked with them. Some of my work was featured on International magazine PIC (People in Camera)."

Their beauty pageants in the past few years gave female and male models the opportunity to compete abroad alongside other contestants for the title of Miss World & Mr World. "We consider the pageant sector a huge success for us" says Sue. Over the years Sue notes that cultural habits have changed and due to this, more and more youngsters became aware of the importance of being well groomed. With this change the agency started seeing more and more beautiful models making it more difficult for judges to select a winner. Such a change has also encouraged others to start their own modelling agencies. She adds that she finds such competition healthy as there is always more room for growth.

It is impossible to mention everybody that forms part of Malta’s leading modelling agency as various dedicated members lend their professionalism to the company. Ms Rossi takes this opportunity to publicly thank them and her family for their support and devotion. Modelle International also extends an invitation for the forthcoming activity and last but not least the 25th anniversary celebration next year.
