Business Tips
Anti-Theft Tactics for Small Business �������������� 50 by Bill Steward Any owner of a retail store has to take action against shoplifting; otherwise they will find a lot of their merchandise missing. There are systems out there that can at least deter shoplifting, including security surveillance and alarms. However, some of these systems are ultra-expensive and not affordable for small business owners. A retail store can still successfully prevent theft even without the latest technology.
소규모 비즈니스를 위한 도난 방지 전술 소매 상점 주인들은 도난 조치를 취해야 한다. 그렇지 않으면 상당히 많은 제품들이 분실되는 것을 발견하게 될 것이다. 보안 모니터링이나 알람을 포함해, 도난을 최소한으로 억제할 수 있는 시스템들이 있다. 그러나, 이러한 시스템들은 상당히 고가이며 소규모 비즈니스 주인들에게는 만만한 비용이 아니다. 하지만 소매 상점은 최신 기술이 없이도 여전히 성공적으로 도난을 방지할 수 있는 방법이 있다.
3 Keys to Being an Irresistible Leader ������������� 54 by Alesia Latson Leadership is a tough job. Not only do you have to be adept at managing multiple priorities, but you also have to possess expert people skills. After all, regardless of industry, a leader is only as good as his or her team. The challenge, then, is figuring out how to be irresistible to your team.
저항할 수 없는 리더가 되기 위한 3 가지 핵심 리더십을 갖는 것은 쉬운 일이 아니다. 당신은 우선 순위에 있는 다양한 업무들을 동시에 능숙하게 처리해야 함은 물론, 전문적인 사람의 기술을 가지고 있어야 한다. 결국, 어떤 산업이든, 리더는 자신의 팀과 마찬가지다. 문제는, 그 후에, 어떻게 당신의 팀이 따라올 수 밖에 없게 만들지를 파악하는 것이다.

Expert Advice by Dr. Edward Tony Lloneau
What Transformation does Kinky Hair go Through when Pressed? 심한 곱슬 머리에 프레스 처리를 하면 어떤 변환 과정이 생기는가?
When cuticle layers back up on one another on kinky hair, they do not fit neatly in place like stacked plastic cups. Instead, they are forced into each other by the retention on the hair shaft caused by the excessive bonds in the medulla. When one cuticle layer is forced into the layer in back of it, this causes the layer in back to flare out.
When hair is pressed with a comb designed for this purpose, this
flared out cuticle is simply smoothed or pressed flat against the body of the hair shaft. The heat of the comb or curling iron softens the cuticle, allowing it to give way easily to the pressure applied by the back of the comb.
This principal is basically the same as ironing wrinkles out of a
sheet. The heat from the iron softens the fabric so the wrinkles will give way to the weight or pressure of the iron. Pressing oils or creams serve three purposes:
1.
Protects hair from excessive heat of the pressing comb or curling iron by absorbing excessive heat.
2.
A lubricant to allow for smoothness by putting a thin layer of oil between hair and the comb.
3.
The oil left behind coats the hair shaft holding the flattened cuticle close and resisting moisture that can cause the cuticle to return to its normal position (reversion).

큐티클 층이 심한 곱슬 머리에서 다른 상태로 돌아갈 때, 그것은 쌓아 놓은
플라스틱 컵처럼 제자리에 가지런히 정돈되지 않는다. 대신, 큐티클 층은
모간을 유지하기 위해 서로 비좁게 들어차게 되는데, 이것은 수질의 과도한 결합에 의해 야기된다. 큐티클 한 층이 그것의 뒷 쪽에 있는 층으로 억지로 비집고 들어가면, 뒷 쪽의 층이 타게 된다.
이런 목적으로 디자인된 빗으로 모발에 프레스를 가하면, 이렇게
타버린 큐티클이 쉽게 부드러워지거나 모간의 몸체와는 달리 평평하게 눌리게 된다. 열처리 빗이나 컬링 아이언은 큐티클을 부드럽게하여, 빗의 뒷면으로 쉽게 압력을 가할 수 있게 한다.
이 원리는 기본적으로 구겨진 시트를 다림질하는 것과 같다.
다리미로부터 나오는 열이 직물을 부드럽게 하기 때문에, 주름은 다리미의 무게나 압력의 방향으로 돌아가게 되는 것이다.
프레싱 오일이나 크림은 다음 세 가지 목적을 제공한다: 1. 과도한 열이 흡수되는 프레싱 콤이나 컬링 아이언의 지나친 열로부터 모발을 보호한다.
2. 머리와 열처리 빗 사이에 얇은 오일층을 제공함으로써 부드러움을 주는 윤활제 역할
3. 오일은 모간이 납작해진 큐티클을 가까이 잡아주고 큐티클이 정상적인 위치로 돌아갈 수 있게 하는 (복귀) 내수성을 위한 코팅으로 남게 된다.

Clippers and Trimmers 101
So you’re in the market for a new clipper and trimmer. Selecting one can be as confusing as buying a new car. Do you know what to look for beyond the visually appealing body design, colors and graphics? Read on to learn the basics that apply to most professional clippers and trimmers, so you can make the best choice for your next purchase.
Clipper Basics Clippers are intended for bulk haircutting or cutting large amounts of hair. They do not cut extremely close. Typically larger than trimmers, clippers are available in two blade designs: adjustable and detachable. An adjustable blade clipper has a lever on the side that when pushed up, is in the closed position and leaves the least amount of hair on the head. Push the lever down to the open position to leave more hair on the head. Guards can be attached for varying cutting lengths and guidance when cutting. “Adjustable blade clippers allow for range and versatility for different cutting lengths,” says Rodrick Samuels, co-owner of Hair Lab Detroit—The Salon, master barber/stylist and national educator. “The lever allows for instant height adjustment and assists in blending weight lines and making transitions quickly when cutting tapers and fades.” Detachable blade clippers have blades that snap on and off and offer more versatility due to the wide variety of blade lengths available. The blades are designed with specific size and tooth patterns for a more precise cut with less passes through the hair. Manufacturers produce blades that are interchangeable across different clipper brands. Choose from stainless-steel blades or ceramic blades that run cooler and stay sharper longer. Used, dull blades can be sharpened. Guards are generally not used with detachable blade clippers. Not all clippers weigh the same either. Remember that you will be holding this tool for nine hours a day doing haircuts. Be sure to select one that fits comfortably in your hand and is ergonomically balanced to lessen arm fatigue. Trimmer Basics Hair trimmers are primarily smaller and lighter than clippers. Think of them as a finishing tool to edge hairlines, clean napes, carving around the ear and grooming sideburns and facial hair. With fine cutting teeth, the blades usually can be zero-gapped for extremely close dry shaving and fading. The blades are fixed, but can be replaced when they wear out. Trimmers have either a square or T-blade, the latter ideal for creating hair art and designs. “The T-blade allows for smaller shapes to be created by the blade corner being used like a pencil,” says Kenny Duncan, celebrity barber, owner of Mane Attraction salon and lead educator for Andis. “Whenever I’m creating intricate hair art that requires prolonged times with a trimmer in my hand, I prefer cordless trimmers that feature a T-blade like the Andis Slimline Pro because I can maneuver the tool very easily. If I’m doing a dry shave, I prefer a square blade trimmer such as the Outliner II.”
Power There are three different types of motors used in clippers and trimmers: magnetic, rotary and pivot. Magnetic motors run at high speeds. They are perfect for high-volume cutting, as they stay quiet and cool. These maintenance-free motors require no internal oiling and last for years with fewer moving parts to wear out. Since the magnets are controlled by electricity, do not use a converter when traveling abroad unless the tool is dual voltage or you will damage the machine. Rotary motors offer an equal amount of power and blade speed for heavyduty cutting through thick and wet or dry hair. It is the only motor that can accommodate multiple speeds. Pivot motors have a lower blade speed than magnetic motors, but are twice as powerful, making them ideal for cutting thick hair. The slower blade speed offers greater control for the user. “Multiple speed detachable blade clippers offer more versatility,” says Joe Flano, national educator for Major League Barber. “The combination of varying speeds and interchangeable blades lets me cut hair quicker.” Clippers and trimmers are both available in cord and cordless options. Nickel hydride or nickel cadmium batteries typically power cordless tools; recently they are being replaced by longer-lasting lithium ion technology. Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries promise longer running times with consistent cutting power. Why go cordless? For mobility and convenience. Celebrity barber Angel Lucas, aka monster99 is primarily mobile and meets his all-star clients whenever and wherever to cut their hair. “I’ve cut hair in unusual places like planes, golf carts, you name it,” says Lucas. “I always carry a cordless with extra batteries with me because I’m always on call.” Duncan, who also provides mobile services, still uses cordless tools in his salon: “There’s no cord to get in my way or tangled with the client. I can move around easier.” Care It’s important to take care of clippers and trimmers. Never drop your clippers or trimmers since this will cause misalignment of the cutting blades and produce uneven results. Be sure to clean any hair buildup with a small brush. On detachable blade tools, be sure to remove the blade and clean where it attaches. Aileen Nunez, international manager of education and style at Andis says, “It’s vital to maintain your tools after each and every cut. Use a disinfectant spray such as Andis Cool Care to clean and disinfect, preventing transmitting bacteria between clients. Cool Care also serves as a cleaner, rust preventative, lubricant and coolant for hot blades. Hold the can six inches from the blade surface, spray both sides but don’t over saturate blades. To maximize the performance, always oil the blades after every use. Drip one drop of clipper oil on each corner of the cutting teeth and at the inside rear corner of the moving blade. Blot excess with a clean rag. Plus, always use clipper-specific oil—not other lubricants, which can be flammable.” Still undecided on which clipper or trimmer is right for you? Go to a trade show or ask a seasoned barber or stylist their opinion. They may just let you take their clippers for a spin.

Fall and Winter Hair Trends 가을 겨울 헤어 트랜드
A new season is upon us and soon it will be time to say goodbye to the hot and steamy days of summer and ring in the cooler days and nights of the Fall/ Winter season. There will be a combination of hair trends that will carry over into the cooler months: Blunt Fringes: This season we’re seeing a trend towards the straight, blunt fringe. Cut straight across or taper slightly at the sides to soften the look. Short and Medium Blunt Bobs: Bobs are only getting more popular, and this season it’s all about the blunt cut. It’s powerful, polished and has that hint of edginess that we love. Perfectly Undone Hair: Although it may look like it, unfortunately most of us don’t just wake up with that tousled, undone hair that is cropping up everywhere on the catwalks. This look is all about the relaxed, tousled texture that is easy to create with the right products and tools – Bumble & Bumble Surf Spray is a must have for this style. We can’t forget about the Naturalistas! As the natural hair movement continues to grow, Naturalistas all over the country are finding new and beautiful ways to embrace their natural hair with topknots, stunning twist-outs, braids and haute hair colors. Although these hairstyles will cross over into the fall, we will also see lots of loose waves this fall/winter 2014 season.

Blunt Fringes(뭉툭하게 자른 짧은 앞머리): 이 계절 우리는 스트레이트의 블런트 프린지의 유행을 보게 될 것이다. 직선으로 자르거나 옆으로 약간 가늘어지게 자 르면 부드러움을 연출할 수 있다. Short and Medium Blunt Bobs(짧거나 중간 길이 정도의 뭉툭한 단발머리): 단 발머리는 더 많은 인기를 얻고 있으며, 이 시즌에는 Blunt cut(뭉툭하게 자르 는 컷)이 전부일 것이다. 이것은 강력하고 세련되어 우리가 분명히 좋아하게 될 것 이다. Perfectly Undone Hair(완벽하게 정돈되지 않은 스타일): 비록 비슷해보일지는 모르지만, 불행하게도 우리들 대부분이 잠에서 깨었을 때의 헝클어지고 정리되지 않은 헤어는 모델들이 무대 위로 불쑥불쑥 나타나는 모습과는 다른 것이다. 이 스 타일은 적절한 제품과 기구를 사용해서 쉽게 만들 수 있는 편안하고 헝클어진 텍 스처가 주된 것이다 – Bumble & Bumble Surf Spray는 이 스타일을 위한 필 수 제품이다. 우리는 자연주의자들을 잊을 수는 없다! 자연스러운 헤어의 움직임이 지속적으로 성장함에 따라, 전국의 모든 자연주의자들은 그들의 네추럴 헤어를 높이 틀어올리 거나 깜찍하게 비틀기, 혹은 브레이드나 고급스러운 헤어 컬러를 할 수 있는 새롭 고 아름다운 방법을 찾고 있다. 비록 이들의 헤어 스타일이 가을까지 건너간다해도, 2014년 가을 겨울 에는 느슨한 웨이브 스타일을 아주 많이 보게 될 것이다. 이 스타일은 당신이 좋아 하는 중간 굵기의 컬링 아이언이나 컬링 막대기로 힘들지 않고 수월하게 만들 수

K-t-K curl chamber and heated from all directions to effortlessly form a perfect curl. The great thing about this tool is that its works on all hair lengths and types. Always make sure that your hair is completely dry before using any heat styling tools. Unless you are using a heat protectant product such as Motions Straight Finish Sealer, I normally don’t recommend using wet products when using styling tools. We also can’t forget about the men. Men’s hairstyles and grooming is no longer simple. Men are now taking their grooming, hairstyling and barbershop visits up a few notches. The male grooming industry has never been more mainstream, manly and beauty-oriented at the same time. The male grooming industry has taken off big time. In past few years we have seen the slicked back hair paired with a perfectly coiffed beard (Justin Timberlake), the pompadour with a clean shaved face (Bruno Mars) and fro hawks (Usher). Shaved, short, long, fro or natural, there are several different ways that African-American men are also styling their hair. Still, the all-time classic ceasar haircut is perfect for the lowmaintenance man. This low cut is hot again and here to stay. In the past 5 years or so, men have been letting their scruffy beards grow full—WAY FULL! If you can grow a beard it’s great, but I recommend keeping it groomed and not grow it out as if you were a mountain man living in the woods. A flattering haircut, opposite a perfectly groomed beard, can make all the difference in a man’s complete look.

Caring for Your Curls Natural ingredients offer a variety of options to fight frizz, dehydration and shrinkage
컬 관리 천연 성분들은 곱슬거림이나 모발 건조 및 위축을 극복하기 위한 다양한 옵션을 제공한다. Whether transitioning or all the way curly, women with naturally curly hair now have more options than ever to care for their curls, twists, kinks and waves. Curly hair tends to be dry and needs a lot of moisture, so it is important to look for products that will hydrate the hair while allowing you to get the style that you want to achieve. New moisturizing styling aids with natural ingredients and enhanced technology help to end frizz and moisturize strands, offering women—and men—endless options to care for and style their curly hair. Cleansing and Conditioning Your Curls Curly hair is best detangled when wet and fully hydrated. Avoid combing curly hair when it is dry and instead finger-comb hair or detangle using a wide-tooth comb during the conditioning phase. Because curly hair is naturally dry, look for a hydrating shampoo, like Creme of Nature with Argan Oil from Morocco Moisture & Shine Sulfate-free Shampoo, and wash hair no more than once a week. When conditioning curly hair, reach for a moisturizing conditioner like Creme of Nature with Argan Oil from Morocco Moisturizing Milk Masque— which is loaded with repairing nutrients from Argan Oil and Argan Butter to hydrate, restore and strengthen hair—to pack in the nourishing benefits. After rinsing out the conditioner, pat and press water out of the hair when towel 36

Style Your Spirals When styling curly hair, it is important to use a generous amount of a nourishing styler to provide the emollients and oils needed for soft, healthy hair. Nourishing ingredients like Shea Butter and Argan Oil soften and strengthen the hair, making it easier to comb and more manageable.
To define and enhance curls, use your fingers to divide hair into
sections before coating it with a moisturizing styler, like Creme of Nature with Argan Oil from Morocco Pudding Perfection or Creme of Nature with Argan Oil from Morocco Style & Shine Foaming Mousse. Rake the product through the hair with your fingers rather than a comb. Using your fingers, divide the hair into sections and twist from the roots to ends with a hydrating holding gel, like Creme of Nature with Argan Oil from Morocco Twirling Custard, as it will define the curls without making the hair feel crunchy. Depending on your preference, allow hair to air dry or dry using a diffuser. Once dry, apply a few drops of a nourishing oil, like Creme of Nature with Argan Oil from Morocco 100% Pure Argan Oil with our acclaimed fragrance, to fingertips and release the twists to reveal perfectly styled curls, which can be separated more for additional volume. Lastly, opt to get regular trims to minimize damage and keep your hair healthy, manageable and looking great.

My Brother’s Keeper Part Two
“That’s what ‘My Brother’s Keeper’ is all about. Helping more of our young people stay on track. Providing the support they need to think more broadly about their future. Building on what works – when it works, in those critical life-changing moments.” - President Barack Obama, February 27, 2014
President Obama launched the My Brother’s Keeper initiative to address persistent opportunity gaps faced by boys and young men of color and ensure that all young people can reach their full potential. Through this initiative, the Obama administration is joining with cities and towns, businesses and foundations who are taking important steps to connect young people to mentoring, support networks, and the skills they need to find a good job or go to college and work their way into the middle class of America. Many boys and young men of color will arrive at kindergarten less prepared than their peers in early language and literacy skills, leaving them less likely to finish school. Labor-force participation rates for young men of color have dropped, and far too many lack the skills they need to succeed. The disproportionate number of African-American and Hispanic young men who are unemployed or involved in the criminal justice system undermines family and community stability and is a drag on State and Federal budgets. And, young men of color are far more likely to be victims of murder than their white peers, accounting for almost half of the country’s murder victims each year. These outcomes are troubling, and they represent only a portion of the social and economic cost to our Nation when the full potential of so many boys and young

men is left unrealized. By focusing on the critical challenges, risk factors, and opportunities for boys and young men of color at key life stages, we can improve their long-term outcomes and ability to contribute to the nation’s competiveness, economic mobility and growth, and civil society. Unlocking their full potential will benefit not only them, but all Americans. In addition to President Obama’s initiative there are many men, women and community organizations who are also their Brother’s Keepers, including organization leaders like Seth O. Lartey, Bishop, African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church and celebrities Steve Harvey—actor, TV host, entertainer and author— and Blair Underwood—American television, film, and stage actor, and director—are making a difference. They are positively impacting the lives of young men of color via job opportunities, organized role model and mentoring programs, community appearances and in their books they have written. Among business role models stands Cornell McBride, Sr., Chairman and Founder of McBride Laboratories (Design Essentials Brands), motivational speaker and book author.

Urban Call Briefs 1. Seth O. Lartey
a. Name & Title: Seth O. Lartey; Bishop, African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church; President, AME Zion Board of Bishops; Co-Founder, Goler Community Development Corporation b. Organization Name: AME Zion Board of Bishops; Goler Community Development Corporation c. Website Address: www.amez.org; www.golercdc.org d. Program/Organization Description: Bishop wants to revive character Education Program— AME Zion Bishop, Rev. Seth O. Lartey hopes to revive and radically expand a program that takes children out of school periodically for character education at local churches. The “Religious Education Released Time Program” was available in several local schools a few years back, and principals said it showed good results. The Rev. Seth O. Lartey, pastor at Goler Memorial A.M.E. Zion Church and a longtime local education activist, said he wants to partner up 100 Triad schools and churches in a program reboot that he hopes to get rolling this year. “It can be the salvation for public schools,” Lartey said. “We can resolve violence, dropouts and many of the ills in our schools.” The program works like this: parents give permission for students to miss part of the school day periodically, typically during physical education or another non-core class period. Churches partner with nearby schools, and children who often have trouble at school or with behavior are bused to a church for character development programs. Background: After 20 years at the helm of Goler Memorial AME Zion Church, Dr. Seth Lartey assumed a new title and embarked on a new chapter in his life. Lartey, a native of Monrovia, Liberia made a triumphant homecoming to the motherland as the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church’s newly elected bishop of the Western West Africa Episcopal District. The married father of three was consecrated as the 100th bishop during 49th Quadrennial of the General Conference of the AME Zion Church in 2013. Lartey, 56, was elected as bishop at the 2012 conference of the AME Zion Church in Charlotte. Lartey, is only the third African to reach that rank in the history of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, which was founded in 1796 in New York City. Lartey said that his election means that Goler Memorial church could become a model for other churches because its programs “will be expanded to help the greater AME Zion Church.” Lartey, president of the Goler Community Development Corp., said that other AME Zion churches could set up their own community development corporations modeled after the Goler CDC. “It’s good for the denomination,” said Lartey, who served as pastor of Goler Memorial for nearly 20 years. Goler CDC’s roots are linked to the Goler church. Leaders of the church started plans to revitalize the area around the church in 1998 and the church was the first organization to provide money for the Goler CDC’s projects. Nearby Goler Manor houses 79 one-bedroom apartments for seniors. The Craver Building, at Seventh and Chestnut streets, has two three-bedroom flats. All of the buildings are fully occupied. Goler built the Truliant Victory Federal Credit Union Member Financial Center building, which houses the CDC’s offices and a branch of Truliant Federal Credit Union. As bishop, Lartey will preside over 6,700 congregations and roughly 100,000 people in the West African nations of Ghana, Togo, Liberia and the Ivory Coast. He and his wife Jacqueline divide their time between Africa, the United States and Episcopal headquarters in Ghana and Liberia. Lartey said he would encourage his congregations to reach beyond the walls of their churches and think beyond the boundaries of traditional evangelism and outreach. He plans to bring a greater focus to basic human needs such as feeding the hungry, caring for widows and building communities. “The church can no longer be just a call to worship and a benediction type of an institution …we will return to basic Christianity that looks at being your brother’s keeper,” Lartey declared.

entrepreneur (his clothing line is carried at K & G Fashion Superstore as well as Young Kings–his line for boys) is sharing secrets with women on how men think in seminars across the country and in books, including his latest book and movie, “Steve Harvey: Straight Talk, No Chaser, How to Find, Keep, and Understand a Man.” The book is full of advice and has eye-catching sections such as “Every Sugar Daddy Ain’t Sweet” and “The Cookie: More on Why Men Need It, and Why You Should Keep It.” Harvey says the roots of his advice books were planted in his radio show segment, “Strawberry Letter” in which he talked to women about relationships. “My intentions were pure: I care deeply about these things because I am a husband, a son, a radio personality who speaks to millions of women daily via my radio show, and, most important of all, the father of four girls–beautiful young women who deserve good men who will love them, respect them, and treat them the way they want to be loved, respected, and treated,” he says in the introduction of the book. Harvey first performed stand-up comedy in 1985 at the Hilarities Comedy Club in Cleveland, Ohio. He was a finalist in Second Annual Johnnie Walker National Comedy Search performing in 1990, eventually leading to a long stint as host of “It’s Showtime at the Apollo.” His success as a standup comedian led to a starring role on the ABC show “Me and the Boys” in 1994. He would later star on the WB network show “The Steve Harvey Show” which ran for several years. Harvey continued his work in stand-up comedy, touring as one of the Kings of Comedy, along with Cedric the Entertainer, D.L. Hughley, and Bernie Mac. The comedy act would later be put together into a film by Spike Lee called “The Original Kings of Comedy.” DVD sales of “The Original Kings of Comedy” and “Don’t Trip, He Ain’t Through With Me Yet” increased Harvey’s popularity. Harvey also launched a clothing line, which featured a line of dress wear. Later he co-starred in the movie “Racing Stripes” and appeared in the movie “The Fighting Temptations” alongside Cuba Gooding Jr. and Beyoncé Knowles. He achieved further critical and commercial success through his book “Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man” and its subsequent cinematic follow-up “Think Like a Man,” an ensemble romantic comedy depicting characters taking advice on dating from the book. Harvey has hosted the Disney Dreamers Academy, a teen-focused personal and professional enrichment event that took place at the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. Harvey is the host of a weekday-morning radio program, “The Steve Harvey Morning Show,” which was originally syndicated through Radio One, Inc. and continues to air to the present time. Harvey began hosting “Family Feud” in 2010 and the show has seen significantly improved ratings under Harvey; it is the second most-watched daytime syndicated show. The Steve and Marjorie Harvey Foundation, Fostering Excellence in Children–The mission of The Steve and Marjorie Harvey Foundation is to provide outreach to fatherless children and young adults by promoting educational enrichment, one-onone mentoring and global service initiatives that will cultivate the next generation of responsible leaders. The goals of the program are: 1. To deliver relevant programs for children that will aid in their successful development. 2. To provide educational scholarships for children with defined criteria and track the success of programs related to education. 3. To introduce and pair children to community leaders as mentors through group and one-on-one mentoring programs.
4. To partner and build alliances with public and private organizations to provide opportunities and resources that will broaden our children’s experiences via internships, employment and community programs that strengthen their intellectual, health and social wellbeing. 5. To expand the “Girls Who Rule the World” program to multiple markets.

He invented this along with his partner, Therman McKenzie, while still undergraduates at Mercer College of Pharmacy in Georgia in 1974. This is Cornell’s dramatic story, packed with lessons he learned for creating and recognizing opportunities and figuring out how to overcome any obstacle placed in his path. It is a powerful tale that triumphs as well as disappoints. But at that point, all Cornell knew was that he had developed something unique in the black hair care market. He knew it would sell, and sell big. With a little persuading, Therman agreed to start a business with Cornell, and both Sta Sof Fro and M&M Products Company were soon born. The partners toiled night and day producing the formula, bottling it, and then going door-to-door to neighborhood businesses to sell Sta Sof Fro—all the while working full-time as pharmacists at Revco in Atlanta. By leaps and bounds, M&M grew as sales of Sta Sof Fro skyrocketed. The two men learned as they went along, pioneering manufacturing and marketing methods for the ethnic hair care market. Starting out with an investment of $500, within five years, M&M products was a multi-million-dollar company. Cornell was a millionaire by age 35. After the sale of M&M Products in 1990, and not satisfied with starting one hugely successful company, Cornell decided to try again. Along with his family, he started McBride Research Laboratories. Specializing in the ethnic hair care market, with a concentration on the professional beauty salon industry, MRL has grown to become another major industry success. Born in 1943 in Savannah, Ga., Cornell came from a background of poverty and segregation. He learned early on that success involved hard work, discipline, creativity, and a knack for creating and recognizing opportunities—and single-mindedly overcoming any obstacles placed in his path. Life also included business challenges and failures, personal disappointments, and even the death of his cherished daughter—to whom he donated his own kidney but couldn’t save her. Yet how Cornell McBride, Sr. coped and rebounded is inspiring. It is a true rags-to-riches American success story! Cornell has also been actively engaged in his community. M&M Products became known as an enthusiastic philanthropic organization in the greater Atlanta area, and Cornell has always believed in the importance of creating stable and nurturing work environments for his employees. “Always giving back” was the company’s community motto.

Anti-Theft Tactics for Small Business 소규모 비즈니스를 위한 도난 방지 전술 Any owner of a retail store has to take action against shoplifting; otherwise they will find a lot of their merchandise missing. There are systems out there that can at least deter shoplifting, including security surveillance and alarms. However, some of these systems are ultra-expensive and not affordable for small business owners. A retail store can still successfully prevent theft even without the latest technology. For example, a store can be setup to appear that security cameras are present, even though they aren’t. This can be done by setting up a few boxes that display red LED lights to replicate an actually security camera. A professional thief might see right through this, but the others might be scared off enough to the point where they don’t try to steal anything. Ceiling domes can give the illusion that security cameras are present. The reflective domes allow employees to get a broad view of the store. The more mirrors you have, the harder it is for thieves to hide while stealing merchandise. If a thief even hesitates for a moment, chances are they won’t go through with the crime, or they will be easy to identify. Either way, these domes can be a deterrent. The more space your store has, the better. Shoplifters love stores where clothing racks are right next to one another, as it allows them to be inconspicuous and steal without being 50

소매 상점 주인들은 도난 조치를 취해야 한다. 그렇지 않으면 상당히 많은 제품들이 분실되는 것을 발견하게 될 것이다. 보안 모니터링이나 알람을 포함해, 도난을 최소한으로 억제할 수 있는 시스템들이 있다. 그러나, 이러한 시스템들은 상당히 고가이며 소규모 비즈니스 주인들에게는 만만한 비용이 아니다. 하지만 소매 상점은 최신 기술이 없이도 여전히 성공적으로 도난을 방지할 수 있는 방법이 있다.
예를 들어, 매장에 보안 카메라가 있다는 것이 보여지도록,
비록 그렇지 않더라도, 매장을 꾸밀 수 있다. 실제 보안 카메라를 대체할 수 있는 붉은 LED 조명 박스 몇 개를 설치하는 것이다. 전문 도둑은 이것을 정확히 알아볼 수도 있지만, 일반적인 도둑들은 충분히 겁을 먹고 절도를 시도하지 않을 수도 있다.
천정 돔은 보안 카메라가 있다는 환상을 줄 수가 있다.
반사거울 돔은 직원들이 매장을 넓게 볼 수 있게 한다. 거울을 많이 배치할수록, 도둑들은 훔친 물건을 숨기기가 힘들게 된다. 도둑들은 그로인해 망설이게 되고, 도둑질을 하지 않게 될 확률이 커지거나, 최소한 그들의 의심스러운 행동을 쉽게 식별할 수 있을 것이다. 어느 쪽이든, 이러한 돔은 억제 역할을 할 수 있다.

noticed. Open space means that a thief is going to feel more vulnerable and far less likely to steal. A store should be well organized to make life more difficult for criminals. Installing additional lighting is a cost-effective technique to keep thieves at bay. The more visibility there is, the less confident a thief is going to be. Spotlights for example can be placed in areas of the store that tend to be darker. Plus, they add a little something extra to the store that will attract customers. Also, more light means that you can feature certain products that you want customers to see, thereby getting more sales. Bright lights allow employees to better survey the store. The location of the checkout is key as well. If customers have to pass it in order to exit the store, then this can prevent a lot of thefts. Having employees hanging out near the exits can be quite a deterrent as well. The register area should always be occupied by an employee. As you can see, theft can be reduced with some simple, cost-effective procedures. Over time, perhaps you can invest in more sophisticated technology to really put your store on lock down.
하기 때문이다. 열린 공간은 도둑들이 스스로 더 약해지는 느낌이 들고, 훨씬 덜 훔치고 싶게 한다는 것을 의미한다. 매장은 도둑들이 범죄를 저지르기 더욱 힘들수 있도록 잘 정돈되어야 한다.
추가 조명을 설치하는 것은 도둑의 접근을 막을 수 있는
비용 효과적인 기술이다. 보다 많은 가시성이 있으면, 도둑들의 자신감은 떨어지게 된다. 예를 들어, 스포트 라이트는 매장 내 어두울 수 있는 구역에 설치할 수 있으며, 동시에 고객들에게 제품의 매력을 어필할 수 있는 무언가를 더해주기도 한다. 또한, 더 많은 조명은 당신이 고객들에게 보여주고 싶은 특정 제품을 강조할 수도 있다는 의미가 되며, 결국 매출 상승으로 이어질 것이다. 밝은 조명은 직원들이 매장을 더욱 잘 둘러볼 수 있게 한다.
계산대의 위치 또한 중요하다. 고객이 매장을 나가기
위해서는 반드시 계산대를 지나가야 한다면, 많은 절도를 방지할 수가 있다. 출구 근처에 직원을 배치하는 것 또한 아주 좋은 억제 역할이 된다. 계산대 구역은 항상 직원이 지키고 있어야 한다.
여러분이 보듯이, 도난은 간단하고, 비용 효과적인
절차로도 줄일 수 있다. 시간이 지남에 따라, 아마도 여러분의 매장을 철통같이 지킬 수 있는 더욱 정교한 기술에 투자할 수 있게 될 것이다.

3 Keys
to Being an
Irresistible Leader 저항할 수 없는 리더가 되기 위한 3 가지 핵심
Leadership is a tough job. Not only do you have to be adept at managing multiple priorities, but you also have to possess expert people skills. After all, regardless of industry, a leader is only as good as his or her team. Without the buy-in and respect of your employees, you’ll have a difficult time accomplishing the organization’s goals. The challenge, then, is figuring out how to be irresistible to your team—how to create the conditions by which people can’t resist your message and vision and therefore want to align and partner with you. Becoming irresistible requires that you attract and connect with people, which naturally results in trust and loyalty. That’s why the key for any leader is to create the conditions and experiences by which people want to engage with you. Following are the top three ways to build engagement with your staff.
리더십을 갖는 것은 쉬운 일이 아니다. 당신은 우선 순위에 있는 다양한 업무들을 동시에 능숙하게 처리해야 함은 물론, 전문적인 사람의 기술을 가지고 있어야 한다. 결국, 어떤 산업이든, 리더는 자신의 팀과 마찬가지다. 직원들의 동의나 존경이 없다면, 당신은 조직의 목표를 수행하는데 어려움을 겪을 것이다. 문제는, 그 후에, 어떻게 당신의 팀이 저항할 수 없게 만들지를 파악하는 것이다. – 어떻게 사람들이 당신의 메시지와 비전에 저항할 수 없는 조건을 만들지, 그리하여 그들이 당신과 함께하고 파트너가 되고자 하도록 만드는지를 파악하는 것이다. 저항할 수 없게 된다는 것은 당신이 사람들에게 매력적이어야 하며 그들과의 관계를 요구하는데, 이렇게 되면 자연적으로 믿음과 충성이 따른다. 이것이 모든 리더의 핵심은 사람들이 당신과 함께 참여하고 싶은 조건과 환경을 만드는 것이다. 다음은 당신 직원들의 참여를 구축하는 우선적 세 가지 방법들이다.

OTC Beauty Magazine August 2014
1. Build Rapport The best way to build rapport with people is to simply listen to them. When people feel listened to, they are more likely to trust you and are more eager to engage with you. To make listening a priority in your role, start doing monthly listening tours. These do not have to be long sessions—15 minutes is enough. The point is to actually schedule time where you meet with people informally and just let them talk. At the beginning of the meeting, tell them, “This is just a listening meeting. For 15 minutes I just want to hear your ideas, your concerns, or anything else you’d like to share.” Then, let them talk. Don’t interrupt or dominate the conversation. In fact, only speak when the other person asks you a question. The rest of the time just listen and take notes. After the person is done talking, paraphrase what you heard. Taking only 15 minutes out of your day to listen will help you forge a greater connection with your staff and make a huge difference in employee engagement. 2. Disagree with Grace Disagreements at work are inevitable. The key is how you handle them. Too often, leaders come across as harsh when they disagree, inadvertently making employees feel inferior or that their ideas are without merit. So rather than abruptly tell people things like, “No, that will never work,” or “You obviously don’t understand the full situation,” when you disagree with them, start by acknowledging and validating the other person’s perspective. To do this requires that you listen attentively and then legitimize the other person’s point of view. It is most effective when you can provide at least three points of validation because that’s when the person is more likely to feel that you actually heard what they said. Remember, the magic number is three points of validation. At this point you can ask some open-ended questions to get a better idea of the employee’s thinking, or you can agree to disagree. But it’s that validation that enables you to disagree with grace. Now rather than shutting the conversation down, you’re engaging the employee. This is what creates irresistibility, because when the employee walks away from that meeting, they may not have gotten what they wanted, but they weren’t defeated. And that’s huge to the engagement factor.
1. 친밀도를 쌓아라. 사람들과 친밀도를 쌓는 최선의 방법은 단순히 그들을 경청하는 것이다. 상대가 자신의 말을 듣고 있다고 느낄 때, 사람들은 당신을 더 믿고 당신과 함께 더 열심히 참여하게 된다. 당신의 역할에서 듣기를 우선으로 하기 위해서, 매월 듣기 투어를 시작하라. 그다지 길 필요는 없다 - 15분이면 충분하다. 요점은 당신이 사람들과 비공식적으로 만나 단지 그들에게 얘기할 기회를 제공하는 시간을 실제로 예약을 하는 것이다.
회의 시작하는 시점에서, 그들에게 말해라, “이것은 단지 듣는 회의입니다. 15
분 동안 나는 그저 여러분의 아이디어와 관심사, 또는 여러분들이 공유하고 싶은 어떤 것이든 듣고 싶은 겁니다”. 그리고, 그들이 얘기할 수 있게 해라. 대화를 방해하거나 지배하지 말라. 사실상, 오직 다른 사람이 당신에게 질문할 때만 말해라. 나머지 시간은 그저 듣고 노트해라. 다른 사람의 이야기가 끝난 후에, 당신이 들은 것을 의역해봐라. 다른 사람의 말을 듣기 위해 하루 중 단지 15분을 떼어내는 것은 당신이 직원들과 더 많은 연결을 구축하고 직원 참여도에서도 거대한 차이를 만드는데 도움이 될 것이다. 2. 품위 있게 반대해라. 직장에서의 의견 불일치는 불가피하다. 핵심은 어떻게 당신이 그들을 처리하느냐이다. 너무도 자주, 리더들은 직원들이 반대하거나, 그들이 무심코 열등감을 느끼게 만들거나 혹은 그들의 아이디어가 흥미롭지 못할 때, 거친 인상을 준다. 사람들에게 퉁명스럽게, “No, 그건 안돼”, 혹은 “상황을 전혀 이해 못하고 있군” 이렇게 말하기 보다는, 당신이 그들과 의견이 반대일 때는, 다른 사람의 관점을 확인하고 인정하는 것으로 시작해라.
이 시점에서 당신은 직원들의 보다 나은 생각을 얻기 위해서 열린 결말의
질문을 할 수 있고, 혹은 그들의 반대 의견에 동의할 수도 있다. 그러나, 이것은 당신이 품위있게 반대할 수 있다는 확인이되어야 한다. 대화를 단절시키는 대신, 직원들 사이에 참여해라. 이것은 저항할 수 없음을 생성하는 것이다. 왜냐하면, 직원들이 그 August 2014 OTC Beauty Magazine

3. Offer Acknowledgment and Praise Too often leaders are so busy, stressed and overwhelmed that they forget to acknowledge people. But human beings crave acknowledgment and want to feel that they are making a meaningful difference in some way. Therefore, offering acknowledgment and praise goes a long way to building engagement. Acknowledging someone doesn’t mean gushing over them and touting superlatives that aren’t warranted. It’s also not about empty phrases like “Good job.” Offering acknowledgment and praise works best when you’re factual and pointing out specifics that made an impact. For example, instead of telling someone, “You did a good job on that report,” which lacks any type of facts or specifics, you could say, “I wanted to compliment you on your report. It detailed the topic in a clear way and gave a strong call to action at the end.” The more specific you can be with your praise, the more meaningful it is for the employee. In addition to making the person feel important, your words are giving them clear feedback on what success looks like so they can duplicate it in the future. Remember, too, that acknowledgment and praise doesn’t only happen during a formal meeting or year-end review. You can offer a word of acknowledgment in passing at the water cooler. Often, it’s those little interactions that leave a lasting impression.
회의로부터 멀어질 때, 그들은 원하는 것을 얻지 못하는 것이 아니라,
Attract the Best If you want to be one of those leaders that people can’t seem to resist— the kind of leader who has loyal employees and a strong environment of trust—then you need to focus on these three employee engagement practices. Not only will your current employees find you irresistible, but you’ll also have a steady stream of eager potential employees (the best of the best) who want to work with you. Ultimately, the more engagement and partnership you have with your team, the more rewarding the work experience will be for everyone. That’s when the organization will experience true and lasting success.
인정의 말을 그들에게 건네줄 수가 있다. 종종, 그것은 지속적인
지지 않았기 때문이다. 그리고 이것은 관계 요소에서 아주 큰 것이다. 3. 인정과 칭찬을 제공해라. 지도자들은 너무 바쁘며 스트레스도 많고 과도한 업무에 둘러쌓여서 사람들을 인정하는 것을 자주 잊어버린다. 그러나 인간은 인정을 갈망하고 그들이 어떤 방법에 있어서 의미있는 차이를 만들고 있다는 느낌을 갖길 원한다. 그러므로, 인정과 칭찬을 제공하는 것은 관계를 장기적으로 더욱 돈독히 쌓아가는 방법이 된다.
사람을 인정하는 것은 그들에게 근거없는 칭찬을 마구
쏟아내거나 최상급의 과도한 칭찬을 하는 것은 아니다. 또한 “잘했어” 라는 식의 빈말도 아니다. 인정과 칭찬을 제공하는 것은 당신이 사실을 바탕으로, 효과적인 것을 만들어낸 특정한 것을 지적할 때 가장 잘 작용한다. 예를 들어, “보고서 작성 잘했군요” 라는 식의 어떤 구체적 사실없이 누군가에게 말하는 대신, “당신의 보고서에서 관해 당신에게 칭찬하고 싶었습니다. 명확한 방법으로 주제를 구체화했고, 마지막으로 강한 인상을 주었습니다” 라고 말할 수 있다. 당신의 칭찬이 보다 구체적일수록, 그것은 직원들에게 더욱 의미있게 된다. 사람들이 스스로가 더 중요한 존재임을 느끼게 할 뿐 아니라, 당신의 말은 그들에게 성공에 관한 분명한 피드백을 주어 앞으로 그들이 그것을 다시 반복하게 할 수 있는 것이다.
인정과 칭찬은 단지 공식적인 모임이나 연말 결산 동안만
있는 것이 아니라는 것 또한 기억해라. 당신은 워터 쿨러를 지나면서도 인상을 남기는 작은 상호 작용이 된다. 최고를 유지해라. 만일 당신이 사람들이 저항할 수 없을 정도의 리더 중 한 사람이고 싶다면 – 충성스런 직원과 강력한 신뢰의 환경을 보유한 리더의 한 형태 – 당신은 이 3 가지 직원 참여 실행에 초점을 맞출 필요가 있다. 당신의 현재 직원들이 당신에게 저항할 수 없음을 찾을 뿐 아니라, 당신 또한 당신과 일하고자 하는 열정적이고 잠재력있는 직원들을 지속적으로 보유할 수 있게 될 것이다. 궁극적으로 당신이 당신의 팀과 더 많은 참여와 파트너쉽을 가질수록, 모두를 위한 작업 환경으로 보상받게 될 것이다. 그것은 조직이 진정으로 지속적인 성공을 경험하게 될 때이다.

Gaining Consumers:
One Sample at a Time he opportunities for OTC owners to benefit from providing samples to their consumers are limitless. Sampling can serve as a form of free advertisement for the OTC stores and the manufacturers. A consumer visits your store seeking a particular brand to purchase and upon checkout you offer them an alternative product to try create a potential for another future sale. The sample then serves as a tester of the PPU brand and in return brings the consumer back into the store to purchase the full size product. PPU is known for placing samples within our case packs so that retailers expect to receive free samples when they purchase PPU products. The key to maximizing sampling opportunities is to ensure that samples are strategically placed throughout the store. For example, product samples that are marketed toward women who wear lace front wigs should be placed in the section with wigs or given out by the store representative that works in that section fitting consumers. We have become creative with providing a unique display for PPU samples to either sit on or behind the checkout counter. An idea of mine was to provide a fishbowl of PPU samples to OTC stores with all of the PPU brands. The fishbowl provides the checkout clerk with quick access to a free sample for the consumer. Secondly, free samples allow the OTC stores to tape a
sample of a PPU product to the top of a product which provides the consumer the opportunity to purchase one product and receive a free sample of another in that particular line. The free sample attached to the product is an eye catcher to the consumers and provides an additional incentive to purchase the item. Natural hair is a topic that has no boundaries and expands across all ethnicities globally. The emerging variety of natural hair care products available in the OTC stores has lead consumers to try a variety of products and brands. Sampling allows the consumers to test various PPU products to find the right product for their texture of hair. OTC stores have become the link between the consumer and manufacturer. The ability of manufacturers to provide OTC stores with a variety of samples provides a simple solution to the mystery of a consumer’s concern of how the product performs. PPU has set the standard for gaining consumers “one sample at a time.” Samples greatly enhance the best advertising a product can get—the word of mouth endorsement. Never miss your opportunity to hand a consumer a free sample. Samples make loyal consumers and loyal consumers make profitable retailers.

The 3-T’s: Typology, Texture and Tool Tips Most consumers aren’t aware, but hair type and texture is critical when selecting hair tools. Hair’s density, porosity and texture play a critical role in ease of styling, time of grooming and overall hair health in styling and daily priming routines. In most cases, the closer a consumer works with their natural hair pattern, the least likely they’ll have hair breakage and damage. Selecting tools that work best based on hair type is paramount to maintain a healthy hair routine. Ethnic and natural category products are designed with hair type top of mind and most of these products boast moisture-rich ingredients to restore moisture to dry curly, coily, frizzy or coarse multi-textured hair. On the other hand, fine or straight hair care customers gravitate toward products that tend to remove oils and volumize—such as clarifying and dry shampoos—to remove product-build up and oils. Hair tools that are specific to hair texture work in the same manner. Textured hair has special care and styling needs based on its unique and varied curl pattern; tool category is no exception. The hair tool selection process should be paralleled to the textured hair product selection. Have customers stay mindful of hair moisture, with integrity for the hair structure’s pattern, in order to maintain a healthy hair routine. To better inform customers of their tool choices, it behooves the OTC staff to understand hair texture and type. This will support strong tool recommendations for healthy hair and skin, for both men and women.
Typology Texture Chart The Typology Texture Chart was created in 1997 by Andre Walker, Oprah’s hair stylist, in his book “Andre Talks Hair.” The chart defines four basic hair types that everyone has in varying degrees: straight (1), wavy (2), curly (3) or kinky (4). Hair typing can be defined by the texture of your hair. Textures can range from 1 to 4c; in other words, straight to curly. The curl changes from an “S” pattern to a “Z” pattern from 3 to 4. Essentially the hair type chart is a simple, visual way to gauge the porosity of hair. Porosity is hair’s ability to absorb water and moisture. There are two types, high and low. High porosity requires more moisture, like 3’s and 4’s. Low porosity requires less, like 1’s and 2’s, in general, but with specific variations to water retention. The variations are “a” for light, “b” for moderate and “c” for extreme within each hair type. For example, someone with Type 4c hair has a very tight coily-kinky curl pattern, a tighter curl than a 4a or 4b. Although all hair is fundamentally the same, there are significant differences in hair texture. Today, the Typology Texture Chart has been adapted for many as industry standard in understanding hair type to select the applicable products and tools.
Hair Type A - light B - moderate C - extreme 1 - Straight 1a 1b 1c 2 - Wavy 2a 2b 2c 3 - Curly 3a 3b 3c 4 - Coily or Kinky 4a 4b 4c 64

Feature Heat is often the damage culprit for textured hair—from split ends to reoccurring breakage. Tools set to low to medium heat temperatures are key to a healthy hair routine. Below are tools that can be used to celebrate and support healthiness for textured hair.
Unisex Tools
Wide Tooth Combs These combs have teeth that are spaced well apart. They are considered large rakes due to the generous spacing between the teeth and overall size and diameter of each individual tooth. These key attributes are what helps to comb and detangle wet or dry hair while preventing hair breakage. Many combs include tourmaline, which claims to help smooth and shine. Wide tooth combs are suitable for all hair textures and lengths including straight, long, curly, short or thick. Detangling Brushes Beauty professionals often advise to comb wet hair rather than brushing it due to hair breakage and loss from the detangling process. Detangling brushes reduce pressure, while separating and detangling hair. Today’s marketplace hosts a plethora of paddle, vent and wet brushes that detangle well and help reduce hair loss when detangling wet or dry hair. Many promote additional features such as removing moisture and tourmaline to stop frizz, smooth and shine. A key usage tip is to brush from ends working your way up to the roots. Blow Dryers Nano, Nano Ionic, Ionic/Ions, Ceramic and Tourmaline Technology; with all the technology terms, it can be a challenging selection process. In short, the blow dry marketplace is about chemical bonds in drying to add moisture while reducing frizz, and technology to create smoother, shinier hair combined with fast drying hair. Essentially, these technology term definitions are: • Nano – Heat and hydration technology, it is how fast heat is transmitted. It yields quick drying time with moisture technology. • Ionic/Ion – The sodium/chloride negative and positive chemical bonds that help reduce frizz. • Ceramic – Allows heat to glide through the hair for less breakage and damage. • Tourmaline - Emits negative ions that counteract the positive ions present in dry or damaged hair. This results in smooth, shiny hair. The tourmaline even helps to seal moisture into hair and counteracts frizz. Unfortunately, not all blow dryers are created equal. Careful in recommendations, wattage equals heat power. For those that blow dry daily, are prone to frizz or are just obsessed with straight hair, choosing the “right” blow dryer is critical to maintain hair health while heating your hair often to dry it and make is straight.
Tools for Women
Diffusers A diffuser is an attachment designed to disperse the air flow of a blow dryer and spread it over a larger area. Diffusers are used principally with curly hair because the dispersed air doesn’t disturb the curl’s wave pattern or cause frizz when drying. The curly girl’s best friend, it gives her the ability to dry hair quickly and keep curls intact with light heat penetration. Many professional dryers include a diffuser. Hooded Dryers A large percentage of textured styled consumers have hooded dryers at home, and have for decades. The goal is to achieve the conditioning and moisturizing treatments and style setting of wraps, twists or roller sets as if you were in a professional salon. Steamers Hair steamers are all the rage, especially for women with natural and curly hair (3’s and 4’s). They are the ultimate in deep conditioning treatments! Hair steamers produce moist heat that lifts cuticles and allows conditioner ingredients to absorb faster. Adding moisture allows curly strands to defend against breakage, dryness and even brittleness. Using this tool prior to shampooing is the preference, as it leaves hair feeling soft with great definition. Tabletop, hand held or steamer caps make up the variety of steamer options available.
Ceramic Electric Rollers Ceramic rollers are yesteryear’s electric rollers, but with ceramic protection. Most heat up in 90 seconds, set curls in 5 minutes and leave beautiful bouncy curls with less direct heat than a curling iron or wand. Flat Irons, Curling Irons or Curling Wands Flat irons are for women who want straight hair, but can also be used to create curls or waves. Flat irons, curling irons and curling wands come in a variety of sizes, from 3/8th inch to over 3 inches. Curling wands are the newest in the curling category they transform natural waves, straight locks or weaves into voluminous curls of all sizes when hair is wrapped and held around a single wand. Most wands come with a protective glove. Whether selecting a flat iron, curling iron or curling wand, using ceramic technology will help protect all hair textures. Ceramic plated tools are recommended for purchase of a flat iron or curling wand. Unlike aluminum or even gold plated plates, ceramic glides through the hair without pulling and tugging at it, reducing breakage and damage. Ceramic also heats up quickly and evenly, requiring less passes of the iron or wand through the hair. The key is to purchase a tool with ceramic hardware, not just a ceramic coating. Curl Formers Curl formers are one of the newer curl definers; yesterday’s curling rods. Cylinder tubes, when twisted around hair, form exactly the curls you want, where you want them. Curl formers come in a variety of color-coded sizes. You can curl the entire length of your hair or just a section. Great for all hair types; Naturals that want to reinforce curls, or those that wish to create curls. They’re best when used on wet hair, and they can air dry or sit under a dryer.
Tools for Men
The multicultural man’s shaving, hair cutting and hairline edging routines can be a sensitive subject. A man with a curl pattern of 3 or 4 is more prone to curly hair and sensitive skin that can result in in-grown hairs, razor burn and razor bumps. Picking up just any tool isn’t an option. Hair texture and type must be considered in the tool recommendation. Razors/Shavers Using the wrong shaver can even lead to skin/face bleeding just like a manual blade can. A man who is prone to ingrown hairs or has sensitive skin can’t pick any shaver just because it gives a close clean shave. While some men with textured hair shave with straight razors, electric shavers are recommended as to not use razors that trigger ingrown hairs or cause razor bumps. A good, sharp, sturdy shaver with the correct and precise functionality and technology for the textured hair man makes all the difference between nicks, cuts, or razor burn and a nice smooth, even shave. Clippers / Trimmers Clippers are used to cut, create and style hair. Trimmers are used to create edges, tight lines and hair designs, or to trim and shape the face and neckline. Product features recommended for the textured haired man in shavers, razors and trimmers: • Vibration Technology • Multiple Blade Systems • Lift Technology – to reduce the number of passes on skin to cut hair • Speed of Linear Motor Per Minute • Adjustable Closeness Bonus Tool for Men: Nose Hair and Ear Clippers. A well-groomed man uses all tools available for a smart, clean look. Extended nose or ear hair is no exception to a wellgroomed look.

Nicole Far “Here at Giovanni we believe that you are your own accessory to the world. Your presence and stylish influence are a powerful combination that turns heads and makes a statement,” declares Nicole Far, Business Development Manager for Giovanni Cosmetics. “What makes the beauty industry so fun to be a part of is that you get to play a role in fashioning the accessories that you in turn get to use when creating your own stylized vibe.” Inspired by her passion, OTC Beauty Magazine spoke with Far to learn more about this style-empowering company. “이 곳 Giovanni에서는 여러분 스스로가 이 세계의 액세서리라고 믿습니다. 여러분의 존재와 세련됨은 여러분에게 자신감을 주고 돋보이게 만드는 강력한 조합입니다.” Giovanni 화장품의 사업 개발 매니저인, Nicole Far는 말한다. “뷰티 산업의 일부로서 이렇게 즐거울 수 있는 것은 바로 여러분이 액세서리 패션에서 역할을 갖고 여러분만의 스타일 있는 분위기를 창조하기 때인 것입니다.” 그의 열정에 고무되어, OTC 뷰티 매거진은 Far 씨와 스타일을 강조하는 이 기업에 관해 이야기를 나눴다. 68
OTC Beauty Magazine August 2014
OTC Beauty Magazine (OTC): (OTC): What is your background with both Giovanni Cosmetics and the beauty business? What is your role with the company today? Nicole Far (NF): My background is in the Natural Products industry and I love that as a nation we are embracing natural products more and more. Giovanni’s natural roots and values made it easy for me to become a brand advocate and a consumer. Giovanni not only has great salon quality products, they are cruelty free (never tested on animals), with biodegradable formulas and ecofriendly packaging! As the Business Development Manager, I have fun sharing the Giovanni story because it is such a great story to tell. OTC: What do you think makes the beauty industry so unique and exciting? NF: Style! I love feeling put together from head to toe, don’t you? It is empowering! You want to get out there and do something big in the world! I love giving people the tools to feel the same way. Then it is up to them to get busy making their own unique impact. OTC: : What is Giovanni founded on as a company? Can you briefly explain its history? NF: Arthur Giovanni, the founder of Giovanni, was in his early career a leading hair stylist and a top salon owner in the Hollywood/Beverly Hills area of California. His famous salon “On Sunset” was indeed located on the famous Sunset Strip, and was a hit with many of the Hollywood celebrities. His establishment took on shades of a “hangout.” At a certain point, Arthur’s hands started to react from the products used in the salons and he tried product after product in search of a hair care line that would not cause this reaction to his skin. He began to explore the possibility of creating his own full line of professional hair care products, based on this premise. He felt that if he could create products with a base consisting of vitamins, herbs, minerals, proteins and nutrients, that these products would have greater predictability (i.e. no surprise chemical reactions such as oxidation of color, etc.) and would generally be much better for the hair than the standard wholly chemical-based products. In 1977, after some research, he met up with Dr. John Weaver whose credentials included a doctorate in the synergism of detergency, and a pioneer in implementing natural essences into the cosmetology field, which only reinforced Mr. Giovanni’s ideals. Dr. Weaver was instrumental in developing production and formulas in Jeri Redding’s early products, which eventually evolved into the present Nexxus line. Dr. Weaver also did the pilot runs for this currently popular line. OTC: How does being a family-owned business impact the company culture? NF: We are much more flexible, and we do not spend resources on burdensome processes that larger companies require in order to run smoothly. This keeps us agile for innovation and fosters creative feedback from all members; a quality that often gets lost in a larger company setting. OTC: We understand that Giovanni has a “Rule of Balance.” What is it, and what does it mean to the company and customers who use your products? NF: The Giovanni Rule of Balance is our commitment to making each product as pure and natural as humanly possible without sacrificing exceptional product performance. This pledge is not only something we are particularly proud of, but it is also the guarantee that our customers rely on. They can rest assured that our product development team has rigorously vetted each product to craft a formula that meets Giovanni’s performance quality and natural standards.

OTC 뷰티 매거진(OTC): Giovanni 화장품과 뷰티 산업 분야에서 당신은 어떤 배경을 갖고 있습니까? 현재 회사에서의 역할을 무엇입니까? Nicole Far (NF): 제 배경은 천연 제품 산업에 있으며, 저는 국가적인 차원에서 보다 많은 천연 제품을 채택하는 것에 기쁨을 감추지 못하고 있습니다. Giovanni의 자연적인 뿌리와 가치는 제 스스로를 쉽게 브랜드의 옹호자이자 소비자가 되도록 만듭니다. Giovann가 보유하고 있는 것은 단지 훌륭한 미용실용 품질의 제품만이 아니며, 이 제품들은 생분해성의 물질과 자연 친화적인 포장을 갖춘 cruelty free(동물 실험을 거치지 않고 제조된 제품)입니다! 사업 개발 매니저로서, 저는 Giovanni의 스토리를 공유하는게 즐겁습니다. 왜냐하면 아주 멋진 스토리거든요. OTC: 뷰티 산업을 아주 독특하고 흥미롭게 만드는 것은 무엇이라고 생각하십니까? NF: 스타일이죠! 저는 머리부터 발끝까지를 하나로 만드는 느낌을 좋아합니다, 그렇지 않으세요? 거기엔 힘이 실려있죠! 여러분은 밖으로 나가 세상에 무언가 큰 일을 하길 원합니다. 저는 사람들이 같은 방법으로 느낄 수 있는 도구들을 주는 것을 좋아합니다. 그런 다음 자신만의 독특한 효과를 만들기 위해 바빠지는 것은 그들에게 달렸죠. OTC: Giovanni를 기업으로 설립하는데 기반이 된 건 무엇입니까? 역사를 간단히 설명해 주시겠습니까? NF: 저희의 기업주는 항상 비즈니스가 성장할 수 있는 기회를 찾아왔고, 이 브랜드를 인수할 기회가 생겼을 때 그건 마치 하늘이 정해준 것 같았습니다. Doo Gro는 시장에서 거대한 힘을 가져왔고 저희는 이 브랜드를 소유하게 된 것에 큰 기쁨을 느끼고 있습니다. OTC: Giovanni를 기업으로 설립하는데 기반이 된 건 무엇입니까? 역사를 간단히 설명해 주시겠습니까? NF: Giovanni의 설립자인 Arthur Giovanni는 직업 생활 초기에는 선두 위치의 헤어 스타일리스트로 캘리포니아 헐리웃과 베버리 힐스 지역에서 상위급의 살롱을 운영했습니다. 그의 유명한 살롱인 “On Sunset”은 아주 유명한 선셋 스트릿에 위치했는데, 많은 헐리웃 연예인들이 이용해 히트를 쳤습니다. 그의 살롱은 “유명인들의 집합소”라는 색깔을 띄게 되었죠. 특정 시점에서, Arthur의 손은 살롱에서 사용하는 제품에 반응하기 시작했고, 그는 피부에 반응을 일으키지 않는 헤어 케어 라인을 찾기 위해 여러 제품들을 차례로 사용했습니다. 그는 이것을 전제로, 자신의 전문가용 헤어 케어 제품의 전체 라인을 만들 수 있다는 가능성을 타진하기 시작했습니다. 만일 비타민과 허브, 미네랄, 프로틴과 영양분을 기반으로 하는 제품을 만들 수 있다면, 이 제품들은 대단한 예측성을 갖게 될 것이며(예를 들어, 색깔의 산화와 같은 화학 반응에 놀라지 않거나, 기타 등등), 전체적으로 표준 화학 성분이 기반인 제품보다는 일반적으로 훨씬 모발에 좋을 것이라고 생각했습니다. `1977년, 몇 가지 조사 후, 그는 세정력의 상승 작용에 관한 박사 학위를 포함해 실력을 인정 받았으며, 미용 분야에서 자연의 본질을 구현하는데 선구자 역할을 하고 있던 Dr. John Weaver 를 만났습니다. 박사의 이러한 생각은 Giovanni의 이상을 더욱 강하게 만들었습니다. Dr. Weaver 는 사실상 현재의 Nexxus 라인으로 진화한 과거 Jeri Redding의 초기 제품 공법과 생산을 개발하는데 큰 역할을 했습니다. Dr. Weaver 는 또한 현재의 유명한 라인을 위한 시험을 실행 했습니다. OTC: 가족 소유 비즈니스는 기업 문화에 어떤 영향을 미칩니까? NF: 저희는 아주 유연합니다, 그리고 대형 기업이 원할한 실행을 위해 필요로하는 부담스러운 프로세스 자원을 낭비하지 않습니다. 이것이 저희가 지속적으로 혁신에 민첩하며 모든 멤버들로부터의 창조적인 피드백을 조성할 수 있게 합니다; 대형 기업 환경에서 종종 간과되는 품질을 말하는 겁니다. OTC: Giovannie는 “균형의 규칙” 이라는 걸 갖고 있다고 알고 있습니다. 이것은 무엇이며, 회사와 귀사의 제품을 사용하는 고객들에게 어떤 의미인가요? NF: Giovannie의 균형의 규칙은 각 제품을 어떠한 희생없이, 그러면서도 성능이 뛰어나고 인간적으로 가능한 순수하고 천연의 제품을 만들기 August 2014 OTC Beauty Magazine

OTC: Who would you say makes up the consumer base of Giovanni Cosmetics products? NF: Anyone who desires to accessorize their look with a virtual beauty closet of choices. Giovanni has products designed to target different hair types and hair needs. Giovanni products also bridge the gap between high performing premium products and the purity of natural products at affordable prices, making them accessible to anyone that wants to be chic on the street. OTC: Briefly describe the goods that make up your product portfolio. What makes them unique and different from others that are similar in the industry? NF: The Giovanni range consists of shampoos, conditioners, repairing treatments, styling, finishing products, and body and skin care products. The three key features of Giovanni that penetrate each of these categories are sophisticated salon style, natural ingredients, and innovative concepts. OTC: Where are your products manufactured, and are they safe for all hair and skin types? NF: All Giovanni products are manufactured in the United States. Because our unique products contain no parabens, sodium lauryl/laureth sulfate, animal byproducts or artificial colors, they are great for all hair types including color treated hair. This is also true because they are cruelty-free (never tested on animals) and pH balanced. With that said, any consumer could at any time find themselves allergic to any ingredient. Giovanni uses ingredients that are mild and plant based so allergic reactions are rare. However, it is recommended when using any new product to do a patch test on your skin.

NF: 모든 Giovanni 제품은 미국 내에서 생산됩니다. 저희의 독특한 제품은 파라벤과 라우릴 황산 나트륨및 황산염, 동물 부산물 혹은 인공 색소를 포함하지 않기 때문에, 염색한 모발을 비롯한 모든 모발 타입에 아주 좋습니다. 또한 제품들은 동물 실험을 하지 않았으며 약산성입니다. 물론 이렇게 말할 수도 있겠죠, 어떤 소비자든 어떤 성분에 대한 알러지 반응을 언제든 발견할 수가 있습니다. Giovanni는 알러지 반응이 거의 없는 순한 식물성 성분을 사용합니다. 그러나, 어떤 제품이든 처음 사용할 때는 피부 한 부분에 테스트를 먼저 해 볼 것을 권유합니다.

번째 뷰티 스토어를 직접 만들었다고 한다. 그 뒤, 몇 번의 시행 착오를 거치고 뷰티에 눈을 뜨기 시작한 무렵인 5년 차에 두 번째 스토어를 오픈하게 되었다고 한다. “뷰티를 조금 알아가다 보니, 많은 제품들을 취급하기엔 장소가 조 금 비좁다는 생각을 하였습니다. 그래서 조금 넓은 규모의 스토어를 하나 더 열게 되었습니다” 라는 안사장은 5,000 sq ft 규모의 스토어를 3주만에 뚝딱 만들어 냈다고 한다. 뷰티 서플라이에 문외한 이었던 상태에서 2002년에 첫 스 토어를 만들 때 힘들지 않았냐는 질문에 “처음엔 아무것도 모르고 시작을 하여 오히려 재미있었던 것 같습니다” 라 는 대답에서 그의 낙천적인 성격을 어느 정도 예감하였다.
5,000 sq ft 에 제품이 가득 들어찬 스토어를 주말 파트타 임 직원 한 명만 데리고 운영하는 것은 쉬운 일이 아닐 것 이다. 제품 정리만 해도 일이 많은데, 안사장은 아무런 문 제가 없어 보인다. 이에 대해 안사장은 “힘든 것이 전혀 없 습니다. 스토어 정리는 그냥 손님 없을 때 스토어 한 바퀴 를 돌면서 천천히 정리를 하면 되고, 물건이 들어 왔을 땐 주말에 직원과 함께 천천히 하다 보면 금방 끝납니다” 라 며 평온한 어투로 무덤덤하게 대답하였다. “가발 제품을 많이 판매하려면 직원을 고용하여 고객들에게 전담 서비 스를 해야 합니다. 하지만, 이 지역의 상권을 고려해 볼 때, 인건비 등을 계산해 보면 결국에는 큰 수익을 만들어 내지 못한다는 계산을 하게 되었습니다. 그렇다면 굳이 스트레 스를 만들어 가며 아등바등 할 필요가 없다는 생각을 하게 되었습니다” 라는 안사장은, 현실에 만족하고 사는 것이 더욱 현명한 것이 아니냐며 반문하였다. 모든 사람들이 이 렇게 현실에 만족하며 살 수 있다면, 스트레스로 인한 성인 병은 모두 사라지지 않을까라는 생각마저 들었다.

“뷰티 서플라이는 머리에 사용하는 약 제품들의 구비가 중요한 것 같습니다. 헤어가 판매 볼륨은 더 크지만, 제품 을 구비하는데 많은 비용이 들어가는 반면에, 약 제품들 은 회전이 빠르기 때문에 약 제품들을 구비하는데 더욱 중 점을 두고 있습니다”. 라는 안사장은, 손님들이 찾는 제품 은 가급적 가져다 놓으려고 많이 노력한다고 한다. “손님 들이 다른 스토어를 다 돌아 다니다가 못 찾는 제품도 저 희 스토어에 오면 구비가 돼있기 때문에 결국 저희 스토 어를 찾아오는 것 같습니다”. 뷰티 서플라이 스토어들은 대다수의 스토어들이 헤어 판매에 의존하는 경향이 있다. 가격 경쟁도 주로 헤어 제품들의 가격 과열현상에서 일어 나는 것이 보통이다. 하지만 Star Beauty Supply 는 약 제 품들에 주력하기 때문에 과도한 경쟁으로부터 자유로울 수 있다는 생각이 든다.
Star Beauty Supply 스토어 내의 선반을 보면, 일반인 키 보다도 높은 선반들을 사용하고 있다. 대부분의 스토어 오너들은 이러한 경우 도둑들이 더욱 들 끓을 수 있다는 생각을 하고 있다. 이에 안사장은 “선반이 높으면 오히려 도둑 맞을 확률이 더 줄어들 수도 있습니다. 선반이 낮으 면, 도둑질을 하려는 사람이 스토어 오너나 직원들의 행 동을 파악하고 있어 오히려 그들이 행동하기가 편해질 수 있습니다”. 일리가 있는 말이다. 선반이 높아서 직원들이 눈에 보이지 않으면, 직원이 언제 어디서 나타날지 모르 기 때문에 도둑질에 더욱 제약이 있을 것이다. 또한, 직원 들은 그러한 도둑질을 감시 카메라를 통해서 감시할 수 있 기 때문에 훨씬 유리한 상황일 수도 있다는 생각이 들었 다. 만약 도둑을 잡게 되면 어떻게 대처하냐는 질문에는 “ 76

그냥 물건 뺏고 보내줍니다” 라며, 예상했던 답을 내 놓았 다. 이러한 심성의 안사장은 손님들과의 불화는 물론, 직 원과도 인상을 붉힐 일이 없을 것 같아 보였다. “주말에 일 하는 직원에게도 별로 스트레스를 주지 않습니다. 직원들 도 본인의 할 일을 다 해놓으면 편하게 휴식을 취하는 것 이 맞는 것이라고 생각 합니다”.
살면서 노력을 하면 분명히 그에 따른 결과물이 있다. 하 지만, 현재의 나 자신에 만족을 하면서 욕심을 내지 않으면 그 만큼 스트레스는 줄일 수 있는 것이다. 많은 현자들이 욕심이 만병의 근원이라는 의미의 명언들을 남겼었다. 하 지만, 우리는 인간이기에 욕심이 자꾸만 샘솟게 된다. 이 러한 욕심을 컨트롤 할 수 있는 능력이야 말로 행복으로 가 는 지름길이 아닌가 라는 생각이 든다. 물론, 경제활동이 정상적인 생활을 영위할 수 있는 정도가 형성된 다음 이야 기인 것이다. 스토어를 운영하면서 가장 힘든 일이 무엇이 냐는 질문에, 10초 정도 생각을 하더니, “별로 없습니다” 라고 한다. 이 역시 안사장 다운 대답이었다. “돈이라는 것 이 다 내 것이 아니더라고요” 라고 운을 띄운 안사장은 그 동안 여러 종류의 비즈니스를 운영하면서 손해도 보고, 돈 도 벌어 봤지만, 생활에는 크게 차이가 없었다고 말한다. 보 통 돈이 생기면 조금씩은 사치를 하게 되고, 그러다 보면 쓰 임이 늘어 곤란해지는 경우가 있다. 하지만 안사장은 항상 본인의 패턴 안에서 생활을 하였다고 한다. 그 결과가 오늘 의 여유로움을 가져다 주지 않았나 생각해 본다. “은퇴라는 것을 생각해 보지는 않았습니다. 그냥, 힘이 남아 있으면 일 은 계속 할거 같아요” 라는 안사장의 앞날이 지금처럼 평온 할 것이라는 것을 믿어 의심치 않는다.

CLIPPER TIPS

Detachable or Adjustable What’s Better? One of the most common questions asked of Andis educators is which clipper type is better—detachable or adjustable? To answer this question let’s first take a look at the differences between the two clipper types. Adjustable blade clippers, such as the Andis Supra 120 Ion and the Envy are used primarily for tapering and blending. If a customer only desires to have one clipper in their kit, and he or she doesn’t do a high volume of clipper cuts, then an adjustable blade clipper would be my recommendation. The ability to achieve a wide variety of hair lengths with a single tool and the included attachment combs make an adjustable blade clipper a best buy. Detachable blade clippers such as the Andis Excel Ultra and the MVP, along with various detachable blade sets, are designed for high-volume, heavy-duty bulk hair removal. They do this quickly and efficiently and therefore are suited to the hair professional wanting to save time and service more customers. For the hair professional who is serious and desires to create quality cuts fast, a detachable blade clipper is a must-have. To get the most out of a detachable blade clipper, an investment in a minimum of three blade sets based on their most commonly requested haircut lengths is necessary. A clipper with multiple speeds can also offer them additional control. So I’ve danced around the answer long enough. The best clipper type is the one that will best meet the customer’s needs. My suggestion to the hair professional would be to acquire both because each clipper type compliments the other. Having a detachable/adjustable combination in the toolkit is the key to saving time without sacrificing quality. For example, there are times when a heavy-duty, detachable blade tool is needed, as well as times when a quick change in haircutting length is desired (think fades), making the adjustable clipper the best choice. To recap, based on price point and versatility in a single tool, an adjustable blade clipper such as the Envy would be the best option if only one clipper were being purchased. On the other hand, if a hair professional desires to invest in tools that will help enhance their career and cutting experience, having both the adjustable and the detachable blade clippers is the smart choice.

Therapy Trends
Digital Curls and Waves One of the hottest trends in hair care is styling curls and waves. Most of these styles stem from natural curl patterns—from tight to lofty. However, even natural curls need a boost from styling appliances and tools. Curls, waves, locs and braids are enhanced by the new appliances available on the market. One manufacturer offers a customized set of wands for every type of style or texture creation—one barrel and five infrared titanium wands. There is another curl machine that allows clients to shoot hair into a digital chamber and hair is uniformly curled into one of three different curl effects. Consumers have ranked this a winner! That lets us know that consumers want ease, versatility and high tech-digital control with their hair care tools. Winning products will offer temperature control, versatility, and salon results. Another favorite is an all-in-one fusion tool which replaces a curling iron, heated round brush, hair dryer, flat iron and hot rollers. This “As Seen on TV” product is built on ionic technology for hair hydration and heating using a ceramic barrel. In regards to hair tools, it is important to note that with today’s technology, appliances and tools are designed to accommodate all hair types and textures—both natural and chemically treated. Digital dials control temperature and internal timers automatically signal a completed curl. When stocking up on tools think of how your smart OTC customers are seeking out these smart styling machines to rival their smart digital phones.

Do The Right Thing! We have all likely been in a situation where we were in a hurry and grabbed the nearest tool, clipper or object to get the job done, even though it was not the proper tool needed; a wrench for a hammer, a screwdriver for a chisel, or a pocketknife for a utility knife, etc. Take the time to find the right tool for the job. In addition to using the right tool, keep tools and equipment in good repair and maintain sharp cutting blades at all times. This will save you time, money and above all make your work load quick and efficient. If you cannot find time to do things right the first time, when will you find time to go back and fix your mistakes? • Keep blades sharp! Don’t use broken tools! • Always take the time to read directions before using or applying product to your clients’ skin. • Visit your local Barber and Beauty supplier to stay current on new innovative products. • Periodically inspect tools for cracks, wear and proper function. • Repair or replace worn or cut power cords. Tools such as clippers, liners and blow dryers that have worn cords should be replaced to prevent injury to you or your client. • Always wear gloves when handling harsh chemicals, tools and razor blades to prevent cross contamination. • Keep up the good work!

Refresh. Rebrand. Renew
Flowery, ToolWorx, HairWare, Spilo ColorMode and Melting Pot have each undergone a refreshing transformation. Taking cues from fashion and graphic design trends, each of these brands have an updated logo, new packaging and fun new products. Special attention was paid to creating clear categories and highlighting a product’s key feature or end result as applicable.

Image is Everything
Spilo Worldwide is incredibly proud to have partnered with legendary, award-winning celebrity photographer Albert Sanchez on the image campaign for ToolWorx, HairWare and Spilo ColorMode. Heavily influenced by fashion and the creative culture of Instagram, the campaign was shot in black and white, much of it taking place in the Downtown L.A. Arts District where Spilo is located. And it’s not simply a marketing campaign; the images are the cornerstone of the new product packaging for all three brands.

IndustryNews An Industry Mourns the Loss of Paula Kent Meehan Paula Kent Meehan (1931-2014), Founder of Redken Laboratories, Inc., passed away Monday, June 23 facing the tranquil environment she treasured including her Japanese Gardens, fountains and flowers of her Beverly Hills home. She was surrounded by her family, caregivers, and intimate friends who loved and revered her. Her vision, inspiration and generosity while leading Redken will always be remembered. In 1960 a young actress and model, Paula Kent, launched her business career, founding a small California based company, Redken Laboratories, Inc., with Jheri Redding. On the commemoration of the 25th anniversary of Redken, Modern Salon magazine publisher honored Redken as “the company that changed an industry forever.” Ms. Kent pioneered the “Scientific Approach to Beauty” based on her dedication to developing products compatible with the natural elements of hair and skin. Her highly sensitive skin and hair reacted adversely to many products on the market. Her quest was to discover why. Redken began with three products and an intensive education program for hairdressers about the chemistry of hair and skin, thereby enabling them to better serve their clients and generally elevate a career in hairdressing to that of a profession. Redken Laboratories, Inc., also designed programs and trained hairdressers to successfully market Redken products in the salon, something unheard of at the time. In 1993, L’Oreal USA purchased Redken Laboratories, Inc., and now, 54 years later, Redken is a global leader in professional hair care, styling and hair color products and services as well as business education. For the last 21 years, Ms. Meehan has been headquartered in her Beverly Hills KenQuest building which will serve as a tribute to her memory.
Paula created the Global Salon Business Awards through the B.E.S.T. Foundation to honor leading salons in the world for their strategy, globalization, brand and lifestyle marketing, creativity, inspiration and entrepreneurship. Three events, from 2004 to 2008 were hosted by Paula in Barcelona, London and Hollywood. There she welcomed industry icons to celebrate the creative art of business. Paula Kent Meehan has received countless industry awards including “Hall of Leaders” given by the North American Hairstyling Awards and Intercoiffure’s Lifetime Achievement. In 1992 she was named one of Entrepreneurial Women magazine’s “Eight Most Powerful Woman Business Owners” and was selected as one of the “Top Fifty Women Business Owner” by Working Woman magazine. She was number 1 on Los Angeles Business Journal’s list of women-owned businesses in LA for four consecutive years; also named 2003 “Woman of the Year” for California’s 42nd assembly district. Meehan’s wide-reaching philanthropic work most recently included major donations to the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts and the Beverly Hills 9/11 Memorial Garden. She served as president of a pet rescue and adoption foundation she opened in Beverly Hills called Pets 90210 – The Pet Care Foundation. An avid animal lover, Meehan was also a supporter of Woofstock. In May 2014, Paula purchased and became the Chairman of The Beverly Hills Courier and The Beverly Hills Fine Arts Theater. One message Paula would leave to us would come from the pen of her favorite poet, Ralph Waldo Emerson, “That which should come to you will come to you through open and winding passages.”
Fromm and the Premiere Orlando Show 2014 Since its inception, Fromm has occupied a unique position in the beauty industry, providing stylists with the most innovative tools influenced from stylist-based research. The company continues to focus on developing cutting-edge, dependable tools with a reorganization of their products into three brands to improve their relevance to stylists. This product/value relationship of “good, better and best” encompasses Diane by Fromm, 1907 by Fromm, and Fromm, the company’s signature brand. At Premiere Orlando this year, Fromm showcased the newest products from its 1907 and Fromm brands on a large booth. The 20’x 20’ elongated table showcased the 1907 upscale shears, brushes, combs and salon apparel. 1907 boasts a range of tools of premium craftsmanship, high-quality materials and next generation design. Beauty pros responded dynamically to the 1907 brushes’ innovative seamless barrel design with spherical vents that circulate heat for faster drying. The 1907 O’Hare Shear and Thinner set arose as a bestselling item as well. Fromm’s “best” shears, brushes, combs and salon apparel for elite stylists gained a lot of attention for their sleek designs and pristine beauty, especially the Fromm
Flex Curve Shear. The show grounds itself acted as a fabulous model of upcoming trends. Hair accessories, especially adorned bands and hair pieces complimented the hairstyles of a significant portion of exhibit attendees. Lash extensions also attracted large groups of interested salon professionals and clients. All throughout the twoday event, stylists Alex Rivera, Nichole Heintz and Mike Andiorio demonstrated the styling and cutting ability of the Fromm products. Visitors could stop and admire their creative intuition and learn how to perfect the hottest hairstyles of the season promoted by such icons as American Crew, Paul Mitchell, Redken and many more! www.frommbeauty.com

ORS™ Straightening & Strengthening Treatment by HAIRepair™
Natural hair has changed the face of an industry, and with it, the needs of the consumer. She wants to straighten her hair at home, and she wants the style to last. She loves to wet her curls, but she doesn’t like waiting hours for them to dry. She stays away from harsh chemicals, but she wants more manageable texture. She’s transitioning from relaxed to natural. She’s “stretching” in between relaxer treatments. She has spoken, and we heard her. With the versatility and style of today’s consumer in mind ORS™ introduced the Straightening & Strengthening Treatment by HAIRepair™, the trusted therapeutic brand best known for offering amazing hair and scalp benefits. This temporary, gentle treatment contains a moisturizing blend of coconut extract, aloe vera and wheat protein that will wash away after 4 to 6 weeks. Sealed with a blow dryer and thermal straightening irons, hair is left shiny, smooth, easier to straighten at home and more resistant to frizz. After one shampoo natural curls will return elongated with increased texture manageability and improved drying time. Safe for use on relaxed and color treated hair, the Straightening & Strengthening Treatment by HAIRepair™ makes hair more manageable while transitioning and stretching. The Straightening & Strengthening Treatment by HAIRepair™ contains no harsh chemicals and is gentle enough to apply without gloves. With the Straightening & Strengthening Treatment by HAIRepair™ consumers finally have the power to go from curly to straight…and BACK in 3 easy steps as often as they’d like without compromising their natural curls.
