7 Signs Your Team Isn’t Ready For Change

By Liz Uram Identifying and solving underlying problems is the key to helping your team

prepare for change. These 7 signs can alert you to problems in the workplace

that affect your team’s ability to successfully pivot to a changing environment.

Sales Professionals Take Responsibility

By Phillip Brand Clients appreciate a salesperson with empathy and the ability to develop a

total solution versus simply presenting a product. Although the basic rules of

selling, like credibility and effectiveness, haven’t changed a lot over the years, techniques that may have been effective years ago need to be reexamined to

meet changed circumstances. There are new rules in sales now. The new rules

include honesty and integrity; trustworthiness and dedication; fulfilling the real needs of the clients.

Home Hair Care Many of your shoppers are fans of Do-It-Yourself hair. Thanks to YouTube and other forms of social media, you can easily learn how to cornrow your own hair, install a roller set or event give yourself a trim. While some prefer styling their own tresses, many were forced into this task during the nationwide effort to quarantine and social distance.

Salons all over the country were closed, and that meant that millions of women were left to figure out their hair for themselves. During this time, beauty supply stores were also closed, but now that the country is reopening, you may find that many of your shoppers feel empowered to do their own hair now. So you’ll want to be sure you’re equipped and ready to help address their immediate needs.

First, we strongly recommend that you carry the classic products that have become just as common to use as our daily toiletries. We listed these items in our Marketplace on page 12. We also shared the hottest-selling wet products of the moment in our Top 5 column on page 38. You can also learn about one of the newest trends in hair care in our Feature story on page 34. Knowing what’s hot for the moment is also important, as your shoppers will lean on your store to carry all of the new musthaves.

There is no telling whether we’ll be quarantining again in the future or not. So why not be prepared to help your customers create their own home hair care regimen?

These 7 signs can alert you to problems in the workplace that affect your team’s ability to successfully pivot to a changing environment:

Business was booming and the team was working hard to keep up with customer demand so the reminders were largely ignored and errors continued.

Silence Don’t assume that silence means agreement or is an indication of compliance.

Then everything changed. An economic downturn caused revenue to dry up, seemingly overnight. Suddenly, every customer, every dollar, and every 18

If your team rarely asks questions, voices issues, or offers ideas it could be a sign of a disengaged workforce. Employee disengagement costs companies

billions of dollars in lost productivity each year. According to research, 70% of the American workforce is disengaged which mean employees are not motivated to share input and ideas. Lack of collaboration makes longlasting change nearly impossible. Breaking the silence is a problem worth digging into.

Employee Turnover Turnover is inevitable but excessive turnover is a red flag. Knowing what your industry average is will help you establish a baseline of what to expect. For example, the average annual turnover in a customer contact center is 30 – 45%. It’s important information because high turnover is an expensive problem.

problem.

Sometimes leaders get so fed up with people not doing their job that they call an emergency staff meeting and lay down the law. The team finally responds to their demands and things improve for a while but then they go back to the way they were. The hard part is that the team thinks they are doing a good job and are meeting expectations only to find out at the next staff meeting that they aren’t. The surprising truth is that only 50% of employees know what is expected of them on the job. Roller coaster performance is an indicator that expectations haven’t been established or communicated.

Broken Record They’re tired of hearing about it. You’re tired of talking about it but nothing changes. When the accounting manager has to remind the team every week to enter the customer purchase order number on the order form that’s a problem that impacts the customer. Absorbing a million or more dollars in uncharged shipping costs is a direct hit to the bottom line. When the same information is repeated over and over with no change it could indicate a training or accountability issue.

Infrequent, yet recurring events that take people by surprise can signal an opportunity to implement a process improvement.

Nobody knows what the future holds but the highly competent leader won’t sit around and wait to find out. They will actively seek out and resolve problems during good times so they are prepared to survive the downturns.

The organizations that not only survive, but thrive, will be led by futurethinking leaders who are able to pivot and embrace new realities.

But in 2020, brands are focusing their attention on your scalp, not your strands.

However, this may not be good for the scalp. The Hawaiian Silky Cool Scalp Refresher Mist is a great way to work around this issue. It is made to neutralize odors while reducing itchiness with its aroma and cooling sensation.

CLIPPER TIPS Sponsored by Andis Co.

Optimize Clipper and Trimmer Performance with Regular Maintenance

by Eric Cheek

Similar to the way you work to keep your body healthy and physically fit, hair clippers and trimmers also require regular maintenance to keep them running at peak performance.

Why is this important? It prolongs the life of your tools, but it also can help you deliver a crisper, cleaner cut.

What You Need: You will need a blade brush, Andis Clipper Oil, Cool Care Plus® and Blade Care Plus®. A blade brush is first used to remove any visible hair from your tool. Cool Care Plus is a 5-in-one coolant, disinfectant, lubricant, cleaner and rust preventative. Even though Cool Care Plus has a lubricating element, it is not a replacement for clipper oil during your maintenance process. Andis clipper oil keeps blades clean and lubricated. Blade Care Plus is useful for removing hair that you cannot see between the blades and helps to de-gunk them. Properly combined, each of these components maximize tool performance and extend the life of the blade.

Clean and Disinfect: After using a blade brush to clean off your blades, the next step in clipper maintenance is spraying your clipper with Andis Cool Care Plus and letting it sit for 10 minutes for proper disinfection and sanitization, wiping off any excess residue after. You can also use Cool Care Plus to help keep your blades cool during prolonged use.

Oiling: There are three types of clipper motors, but regardless of design, the motor is the heart of the clipper or trimmer. Every time you turn on your tool, the motor works to move the blade back and forth from left to right, producing a cutting stroke. Over time, moving parts will wear out, especially if they aren’t lubricated. Oiling your blades helps to reduce wear and tear from friction caused by moving blades and will prolong the life of them.

I recommend that you use Andis Clipper Oil before and after every cut. While your clipper or trimmer is on and the blades are moving, you should apply a drop of oil on each corner where the teeth of the blades meet, then three drops across the teeth of the blade. After the oil is distributed, you can turn your tool off and wipe any excess oil away with your towel.

De-gunking: Finally, I would suggest that you use Blade Care Plus at the end of each day to remove hair that may be trapped in between the blades. These steps contribute to a longer-lasting life for your tools – see andis.com for the full maintenance step-by-step process.

Eric Cheek is a successful barber & beauty salon owner, barber educator and platform artist based in Charlotte, NC. Possessing multiple competitive barbering victories, years of practical experience and an artistic eye, his approachable and easy-to-understand style of teaching is second to none. He is often invited to tradeshows and events to share his artistry and knowledge where novices and experienced pros alike uncover hidden gems of advice and translate them into profit.

THERAPY TRENDS Clearing the Path to Gorgeous Hair

By Elayne McClaine

Natural yet complicated styling among today’s consumers yields an array of coils, twists and waves. This multi-dimensional, compounded styling starts with a great foundation--a clean and clear scalp. Clearing the path to the wear and care of gorgeous hair is a revitalized scalp. Many of these styles remain in place for days or months. Today’s intricate natural styles require scalp and temple therapy from day one. You may wonder why consumers need the scalp elixirs, balms, scrubs and scalp masks. Sometimes beauty hurts! Tight cornrowing and weaving can range from pain to itching. Scalp care is a category within a category. Consumers and stylists recognize the need to gently cleanse, exfoliate and hydrate the scalp in-between shampoos. Co-washes and prewashes have helped to expand the category by providing interim purifying and nourishment. The shampoo phase will further stimulate and moisturize. Consumers now recognize scalp care as more than a refresher. They are seeking to stimulate growth, keep braids and weaves fresh, and hydrate their scalp. Dandruff, flaking and itching are symptomatic of a stale style that needs to receive a boost from the follicle. The scalp products surpass dandruff shampoos. They are interim treatments to keep their hair and scalp fragrant and fresh.

Scalp care will be an essential focus of all new brands and existing lines of products. Major manufacturers as well as independents are populating this category. Style starts at the root. Consumers will expect the various product forms and the unique ingredients positioned as revitalizers. Protecting the scalp as they protect the hairstyle means utilizing exotic, fermented or astringent ingredients. Bamboo charcoal, rice water or eucalyptus oil may be used to detoxify and revitalize the scalp. As your customers clear the path toward healthy, strengthened and gorgeous hair, they will shop for therapy rooted in a revitalized scalp.

Elayne McClaine has identified and developed emerging domestic and global trends in hair care, skincare and other consumer categories for such firms as Chesebrough-Pond’s, Revlon and Pharmacia (div. of Pfizer). Her expertise in therapeutic treatments for hair, skin and scalp led to the creation of the Women’s Institute for Fine and Thinning Hair, sponsored by Rogaine.

McClaine has been acknowledged by the American Academy of Dermatologists for marketing and promotional excellence.

investing in branded consumer businesses, including the beauty sector. Its portfolio includes 109 companies with over $157 billion in annual revenues and employing more than 637,500 people. Johannes Huth, partner and head of KKR EMEA, said, “We are excited to form this partnership to invest in Coty to support it through this period of unprecedented global uncertainty and

allow it to emerge as a stronger, more agile business. We are also delighted to acquire a majority stake in Wella, a market leader with a strong portfolio of brands in the attractive professional hair market where we see significant opportunities to accelerate growth in partnership with its experienced leadership team.”

“In this year when Wella Professionals is turning 140 years old, I am proud and inspired at the prospect of Wella operating again as a standalone company,” comments Sylvie. “This announcement represents a great milestone for our Wella North America

organization. We are confident this partnership will bring new opportunities. In the meantime, we remain fully committed to supporting our customers and our industry, as it bounces back from the COVID-19 crisis,” adds Coty Professional North America President Sennen Pamich. The agreement is expected to be signed by the end of May. Coty acquired the Professional Beauty and Retail Hair brands in 2016 from Procter & Gamble.

HONORS

BIR Bits Coty Inc. (NYSE: COTY) recently announced several executive and Board appointments that are designed to help accelerate growth of the business. By summer 2020, upon conclusion of the strategic review that is underway, Pierre Denis will succeed Pierre Laubies as CEO of Coty, and Pierre-André Térisse, chief financial officer, will become chief operating officer while retaining his CFO role and responsibilities.

Additionally, the Coty Board of Directors elected Isabelle Parize and Justine Tan as non-executive directors, effective

February 27, 2020. Since Pierre Laubies joined Coty in November 2018, his operational and financial experience were instrumental in leading the company’s transformation and completion of the integration of the P&G Beauty Business.

That included stepping up the execution of its consumer brands, streamlining its organization and supply chain, and improving free cash-flow, allowing the company to consistently deliver on its financial targets. He also initiated a strategic review of Coty’s professional and hair businesses and, with the partnership with Kylie Beauty, commenced the company’s expansion into key growth segments. Building on the strong foundation in place, Pierre Denis’s extensive

sector experience will be invaluable to accelerating top-line growth across Coty’s core categories: Fragrances, Cosmetics and Skin Care. He will assume responsibility for the Marketing, Sales, Human Resources, R&D and Legal

organizations. Previously, he was CEO of Jimmy Choo Group Limited, a position he held since July 2012. He has 30 years

of luxury, beauty and brand experience, having previously served in a variety of leadership roles with LVMH, notably with John Galliano, as well as with Christian Dior. Visit coty.com.

The Kirschner Group, Inc. welcomes Tobias Olsson as a sales representative. He will cover Scandinavia, Finland, Iceland and the Baltic States.

Tobias first learned the ropes of the hair business in his father’s salon as a teenager. He started his career as a sales rep for John Paul Mitchell Systems, then KAO, and worked his way up to

Nordic Sales Director for Headbrands and Blue I Sverige AB. “Tobias’ experience and knowledge

Tobias Olsson

of this region will boost our business and market penetration in this territory,” comments Paolo

Rezzara, president of the Kirschner Group, Inc. “We thank Anna Harrtell for her support and professionalism during the past three years.” Get to know Tobias by reaching him at +46 (0) 708 97 87 00 or tobias@kirschnergroup.com.

The Kirschner Group, Inc. also welcomes Paul Masselink, who as a sales representative will

cover Germany, Benelux and Switzerland. Paul is based in the Netherlands and has developed

extensive experience in cosmetics distribution while working with Henkel/Schwarzkopf, Keune and as European sales director for O’Right. “Paul’s knowledge of the European market, both on

supplier and distributor levels, will be a strong asset for TKG in this region,” adds Paolo. You can Paul Masselink

Product Spotlight

Brittny Comb & Hair Cutter Combo There are foundational tools that every stylist should have on hand: a rat tail comb, a pin tail comb and a haircutter comb. Each is highly important for hair professionals and should always be kept in inventory. Luckily, Brittny has packaged a set of these essentials as an easy grab-and-go item.

• Rat Tail combs are perfect for sectioning but are even better for detangling.

• The Pin Tail comb is great for sectioning and creating precise, straight parting lines.

• The Hair Cutter is the tool to use for cutting and layering weaves or extensions. It’s also a great way to thin out thick hair.

Encourage your shoppers to take advantage of this unique set rather than buying each tool separately. Not only will they save more, but they’ll also find the set to be useful and convenient.
