Editorial Letter

by Jessica De Vault Hale

A New Normal Never in my wildest dreams did I think the entire world economy could come to a grinding halt. I would have never imagined that business, as we know it, would shut down, leaving many of us to wonder about what’s to come. But thanks to COVID-19, that’s precisely what’s happened.

Some OTC store owners became creative, offering curbside pickup and even online shopping to cater to their customers, but others shut their doors with fear that they’d be unable to open again. Thankfully, many states are allowing their businesses to reopen, but nothing will return to normal as we knew it.

Your stores will have to be cleaner than ever before. You’ll need to be mindful of social distancing, and you’ll need to reconsider how you serve your customers. If e-commerce scared you before, it might be time to rethink that stance. At the time this magazine went to print, there were no guarantees that we were out of the woods yet. Now is the time to improve and prepare so that your OTC is ready rather than dread what may or may not come.

In this month’s edition, we offer tons of tips on how to do just that. In our How Should You Sell It column, we offer advice on how to entice your customers to come back to your shop. In our Knowledge to Know section, we explain how to prepare for your reopening. Most importantly, our Feature story will show you how to create new shopping standards that will keep you and your customers safe.

We know that our industry is resilient. Rest assured, we’ll come back stronger than Jessica De Vault Hale EDITOR

MARKET PLACE

COVID-19 Essentials With barbershops, hair salons and spas reopening after a lengthy quarantine, you’ll find many of your professional customers coming in to stock up on the essentials that will keep their businesses clean and sanitized. Sure, hand sanitizer will be a necessity, but there are other items that you’ll want to have in stock for your shoppers. Here are 12 products to purchase.

Moisturizing Hand Sanitizer

We’re using hand sanitizer more than ever before and drying our hands out in the process. The New Life Moisturizing Hand Sanitizer is enriched with Vitamins E and B5 to ensure your hairs remain soft and sanitized.

12

OTC Beauty Magazine June 2020

Soothing Hand Sanitizer

The public will expect more from their hand sanitizers.

They need to disinfect, but also include additional beneficial ingredients. That’s why the Tayloni Advanced Hand Sanitizer with Aloe is sure to be a popular seller, thanks to its soothing formula.

70% Alcohol

When you sell out of hand sanitizers, your customers may opt to make their own. The Swan 70% Isopropyl Alcohol is the perfect ingredient for homemade sanitizer and disinfectant.

Alcohol

Rubbing alcohol is a staple in every salon and barbershop. The Gabel’s 99% Alcohol is formulated with 99% isopropyl rubbing alcohol, making it the strongest and most effective solution for cleaning your tools.

Blade Cleanser

Did you know that clipper and trimmer blades can be a magnet for bacteria? That’s why it’s important to remove the hair and buildup that’s often trapped between the upper and lower cutting blades. The Oster Blade Wash is the perfect solution for disinfecting your barbering tools.

Disinfectant Spray

When cleaning your tools, you’ll want something that will kill all problematic bacteria. The Mar-V-Cide Spray Disinfectant is a concentrated hospital-grade cleanser, disinfectant and fungicide.

It also includes a special rust inhibitor to help protect your expensive instruments.

OTC Beauty Magazine June 2020

COVID-19 Essentials

FACE MASKS

It goes without saying that wearing a face mask continues to be important to your professional and regular customers.

You can never have enough face masks in stock. We love the 3-Layer Surgical Masks for the ultimate protection.

Nail Wipes

Whether you’re sanitizing your tools with rubbing alcohol or removing nail polish with acetone, you’ll need wipes made of a strong, lint-free material like the Graham Hands Down Nail Wipes. These durable wipes are perfect for a professional salon setting.

14

OTC Beauty Magazine June 2020

Antiseptic Cleaner

Fighting germs doesn’t just require commercial cleaning products.

Sometimes, you have to make sure your skin remains clean, too. That’s why many estheticians and stylists may find great use out of the 55H+ Purete Antiseptic Cleaner. This lotion is not only an excellent antiseptic, but it also revitalizes the skin.

JAMAICAN BLACK CASTOR OIL

COVID-19 Essentials

Latex Gloves

You can never have enough gloves. The Brittny Latex Gloves is perfect for protecting your hands from dangerous chemicals, and COVID-19, of course. These latex gloves come in a variety of sizes in a quantity of 100 gloves.

Nitrile Gloves

Latex gloves offer the most protection against viruses, but for those who have a latex allergy, nitrile gloves are the next best bet. The Sanek Nitrile Gloves not only protect against harmful bacteria, but they work against chemicals, as well.

Vinyl Gloves

When latex isn’t an option and price point is a concern, vinyl gloves like the GPX3 Industrial Vinyl Gloves are a great choice.

These gloves are cost-effective and great at providing a protective barrier between the skin and bacteria.

How should you sell it?

By Scott Zangwill

Reopening Your OTC Store Most states are slowly reopening and allowing OTCs to get back in business. But there’s a lot of anxiety surrounding the notion of going out. Some people will opt to go to big-box retailers to get all of their needs in one place and pick up whatever hair products they can find there in order to limit their trips to multiple places.

But, we all know that OTCs are the best stop for all multicultural hair care and beauty needs.

How do you assure your shoppers that your OTC store is safe to visit?

“These have been some of the most challenging times we have all faced lately, whether for the OTC store owner, customer, distributor or manufacturer. How and when we reopen will be crucial to keeping your past customers and retaining your store’s market share. How awful for all of us to work so many years to build up our business, just to see it drop off in no time and to no fault of our own.

Now what you do now may determine how you will bounce back. When you reopen, it is essential to assure your customers that they are safe; your stores, shelves and products have been wiped and sanitized, as well as the floors and door handles. I would suggest placing several signs on the front doors and windows indicating this. Post this on your Facebook and Instagram pages, as well. Remember, your customers have been going to the big box stores for several months now. Let’s get them back!

For the first couple of weeks, I would suggest offering some

amazing specials, like 10% off of $10 purchases or 20% off of $20.

The big box stores do not carry wigs and many of the other things your OTC store carries. So you need to bump up your customer service, make them feel very wanted and appreciated, something the big box stores cannot offer as you can. And offer a nice gift card promotion. Everyone loves those.

Finally, I would keep your customers well informed via Facebook and Instagram while you’re closed. Tell them you will be opening bigger and better than ever! Tell them you look forward to seeing them again.

Remember, while most people are staying home, they are online and many are on social media.

Lastly, consider decorating for your reopening and making it an event.

They are still your customers. Make a difference and do what you need to do to keep them. Give them 100% as soon as they come back through your doors.”

Knowledge to Know

What Our Beauty Supplies Should Do for COVID-19 When planning to reopen your OTC store, it’s important to do so wisely and with care. The more intentional you are with your standards of sanitization, the more comfortable your customers will feel when it’s time to reopen. King Research, the makers of Barbicide, offer some best practices for when it’s time to open your doors. Use this as a checklist to ensure your OTC is ready and prepared to offer a clean and safe environment for shoppers.

Checklist of Supplies Needed:

✓ BARBICIDE® Concentrate

BARBICIDE® Spray bottle (filled with

properly concentrated BARBICIDE®)*

✓ BARBICIDE® Wipes Clippercide® (cleans and disinfects) for clippers, trimmers and edgers

✓ King Research Hand Sanitizer ✓ Ship-Shape® Comb and Brush Cleaner ✓ Ship-Shape® Professional Appliance and Glass Cleaner ✓ Clean towels / paper towels ✓ Gloves ✓ Trash bags

Disinfection Reminders

✓ Disinfectants must be EPA-registered and labeled as bactericidal, virucidal and fungicidal. No product will be labeled for COVID-19 yet, but many will have human coronavirus efficacy either on their label or available on their websites. The EPA has approved any product that has tested as effective against human coronavirus, to make a claim for COVID-19 at this time.

✓ Disinfection only works on a clean item, so cleaning before disinfecting is always the first step. Methods to clean include soap/water, chemical cleaners (Ship-Shape®), wipes.

✓ Contact time listed on the label must be observed for disinfectants to work. The contact time refers to how long the surface must stay visibly wet with the disinfectant to inactivate or destroy all of the pathogens on the label.

✓ Disinfection is for hard, non-porous surfaces, typically things made of glass, metal and plastic or referred to as synthetic materials.

✓ Porous/soft surfaces cannot be disinfected, but can be cleaned. This would include but is not limited to items such as towels, chairs covered in a porous material and your hands/body.

20

OTC Beauty Magazine June 2020

Prior to Re-Opening Checklist

✓ Wipe down all soft surfaces (couches, chairs) with water and a clean towel.

✓ Remember that these soft surfaces cannot be disinfected. ✓ Clean and disinfect all hard, non-porous surfaces such as reception counter, computer keyboard, phones, door handles, light switches and point of sale equipment.

✓ Make sure to follow contact time for all surfaces. ✓ Clean and disinfect all shelving, glass and display cases; keep product containers clean and dust free.

✓ Restroom ✓ Clean and disinfect all surfaces. ✓ Replace any soft goods (toilet paper, paper towels) ✓ Consider upgrading to touchless faucets, soap and paper towel dispensers

✓ Consider adding touchless, automatic hand sanitizer dispensers ✓ Remove any products that do not belong in the restroom – nothing should be stored in a restroom To view the complete checklist, visit barbicide.com.

✓ Place signage in window to notify clients of your diligence in practicing proper infection control.

Simply knowing what is going on will instill confidence and quell fears, even if the information is not all that good to begin with.

Even small changes need a plan. That plan should address changes in processes, products, and expectations of the people involved. If a change is drastic, you might have to construct an entirely new business plan.

Securing Funding For Your Small Business Busting the 3 Biggest Myths about the Small Business Administration Given that politics are always a hot topic, you’ve likely heard plenty from

One benefit for you, the borrower, is that the loan terms tend to be longer

about some government nightmare they’ve endured.

But there’s a federal agency that bucks the trend: The Small Business Administration. The SBA enjoys broad support from all corners of the political spectrum—and deservedly so. That’s because the SBA, which dates to 1953, fulfills its mandate of helping small businesses.

Don’t believe me? Google it. Sure, you’ll find scattered complaints, but the SBA generally gets strong reviews. That said, the SBA doesn’t always get the credit it deserves and there’s a lot of misinformation going around as well, especially among entrepreneurs who are missing out on strong financing possibilities.

Let’s talk about three of the biggest myths surrounding the SBA.

The SBA is only for mom-and-pop shops Mom-and-pop shops are definitely among the kinds of businesses the SBA is looking to help, but they can also work with much larger businesses.

Through its flagship 7(a) program, SBA-backed loans can be as large as $5 million for needs such as working capital. And through its lesser-known 504(b) program, as much as $12.8 million can be obtained for businesses seeking to buy real estate or major equipment.

A $5 million loan, not to mention a $12.8 million loan, is way above what a mom-and-shop needs.

While there’s no one-size-fits-all template for a typical SBA loan customer,

$5 million in annual revenues and up to 40 employees. Those businesses

Of course, if mom and pop need a loan, small amounts are available, too.

There are no minimum guaranty amounts for any SBA loan program.

That means it essentially serves as a backup to lenders who might otherwise not be interested in making loans to smaller and/or unproven businesses— it offers guarantees up to 85% for loans up to $150,000 and 75% for loans bigger than that. Because lenders are less likely to endure the full brunt of defaults, they’re more likely to make loans to unproven businesses.

The SBA does set requirements and application process details. Applications

CLIPPER TIPS

Sponsored by Andis Co.

TOP 6 GROOMING TIPS FOR AT-HOME GROOMERS

by Kenny Duncan

CURLY, WAVY, OR SILKY STRAIGHT STYLES

1. Keep your tools maintained. After brushing away any debris and hair from your blades, thoroughly spray with Cool Care Plus to clean & disinfect, then wipe off excess with a towel.

Place three drops of Andis oil across the teeth of the blade and one drop at each back rail, turn on to evenly coat, then turn off and wipe off residue with a towel.

2. Choose the right tool for the job. Clippers such as the Speedmaster, Supra Li 5, Envy Li or Master Cordless should be used when a large amount of hair needs to be removed.

For detail work, outlining and designs, the best trimmer options are the corded or cordless T-Outliner, Slimline Pro Li and the Styliner II. For dry shaving, use either the ProFoil or ProFoil Plus Shaver.

3. Trust the attachment combs to do the job. Attachment combs are designed to be attached to clippers to aid in cutting hair down to precise lengths. Leave freehand clipping to the professionals.

4. Find the flow and go with it. Hair grows in patterns referred to as growth streams. Comb through hair before clipping to find the direction of the growth stream, then follow the flow with the clipper to remove small amounts of hair.

5. Longer hair hides mistakes, shorter hair eliminates retakes.

Take small steps to get to the desired length and cut off length in stages. You can always take more length off, but you can’t put it back on.

GTC for Textured Styles

6. Prevent dipping while clipping. Clipping off too much hair in one section is called dipping. To prevent this, use a c-stroke motion when clipping – at the end of a pass with the clipper, gently flick your clipper up and out back towards yourself. This motion especially helps when fading.

THERAPY TRENDS The Post-Pandemic OTC Experience

By Elayne McClaine

The Coronavirus, or COVID-19, Pandemic created a positive and negative impact on retailing, especially OTC retailing.

While many consumers would consider OTC products to be considered essential, the loss of the ability to shop has created a new reality. Firstly, when bestselling brands, or a favorite hair color shade, are not available, brand switching may be a less than satisfying option.

Secondly, when safety is a chief concern, social distancing, curbside pickup and prepaid options are all viable solutions.

Each option requires exceptional customer service. OTCs must arise to several new realities.

During the crisis, consumers relied on online shopping for many essential and non-essential items. They could surf around the world for specific hair color shades, cosmetic products or synthetic hair accessories. As the country returns to their favorite pastime of shopping, we should be reminded that many have become very adept at online shopping. Once they tried it out during the crisis, they may expect the perks to being available in their OTCs. Retailers must resort to a Phygital mode of retailing: a strategy where the physical retail shopping experience meets the digital shopping experience.

Where a consumer can safely shop online and then BOPIS! (Buy Online and then Pick Up in Store) Why not? They did it for food, drugs and sanitizers. Younger consumers were already there.

While safely at home, consumers received optimal customer service. With just a click, their computer recommended companion products, promotional bundles and valuable savings.

The crisis of a favorite item being out-of-stock resulted in new brands and brand switching. The experience also delivered on time. The future of the OTC retailer will depend heavily on improved staffing, versatile stock and overstock strategies and convenience. Those same Phygital strategies will build a bridge between the benefits of the online and offline world. PostPandemic innovation will lead to a unique OTC experience.

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.

Wahl Professional Announces Addition of Byrd Mena as Creative Consultant Sterling, IL (April 27, 2020) –Wahl Professional has recently

added Byrd Mena (@byrdmena) to its team as the company’s creative consultant. The online brand promoter will work with the company to implement a number of new initiatives that are focused on bringing high-quality education to barbers and stylists.

Mena is no stranger to the professional hair industry, as he began his career as a licensed barber and cosmetologist. He cut hair in his home state of Connecticut, before changing his vision to helping barbers and stylists develop their brands, creating and promoting their online presence, and bringing the barber and stylists communities together around a shared passion for all things hair and professional education.

Byrd’s desire to try new things, his social media promotional knowledge, and his experience in hosting hair shows all over the world are just a few of the reasons that Lisa Finucane, Wahl Professional’s US Director of Education, knew she wanted him on the Wahl team.

“Byrd really is a rock star. He’s incredibly creative and forwardthinking. He understands the importance of quality education and he respects the legacy of the Wahl Clipper. With his help, we are on the right trajectory to keep the Wahl tradition alive while moving the brand forward in leaps and bounds,” said Finucane.

Mena’s first project with Wahl Professional has been to bring the company’s Disruptour to fruition. The tour kicked off its first dates earlier this year with the goal of bringing barbers and stylists quality clipper education, as well as teaching them how to build their own brands and businesses. While traveling is on hold, the group is providing online education on their personal social media accounts. To stay connected and see when the educators are going live on their social media accounts click here for announcements.

“It means so much to me to be a part of the Wahl brand and its legacy that has been around for 101 years. I want to continue to make high-quality education a priority in everything the company does, and through that bring communities together from all over the world. I’m very excited to travel the world teaching and hosting with the Wahl name by my side,” said Mena.

Along with Disruptour, Byrd has been instrumental in helping Wahl partner with Idle Hand Collective (@idlehandcollective).

This collaboration will see Wahl Professional as the official clipper company and host of pop-up barbershops at music festivals throughout the country including such famous festivals as Coachella.

Mena will also be closely involved with Wahl Professional’s online Barber Battle 4, which is scheduled to be open for submissions in July. Mena was one of the first people within the industry to host an online barber battle and will bring notable expertise to this year’s competition.

Mena is no stranger to bringing individuals and groups together in an effort to learn and grow from one another. In 2015 he founded his online brand, SharpFade (@sharpfade). The concept came from the idea of the physical barber battle, but Mena saw that people were struggling to actually take part in them. Mena took the battle online and opened it to everyone throughout the country to participate. Before long, his online barber battle had become a success and he was able to expand his horizons and hold multiple battles at once.

Mena is always about giving back to his community, and has been showcasing the top five barbers a month from the battles on SharpFade’s social media as well as creating SharpFade Freshman Class to help top up-and-coming barbers become inspired and motivated to make names for themselves.

“When I first had the idea of SharpFade, I received such negative feedback, but I didn’t listen. I invested my time and money into this brand to really make it something,” noted Byrd. “Partnering with Wahl Professional is a continuation of my goals of bringing the barber and stylist communities together.”

The idea of the tour stemmed from a conversation between Lisa Finucane, Wahl Professional’s US Director of Education, and W.E.A.T. member, Nieves Almaraz, who wanted to create an intimate event where people have a chance to learn close up, get their questions answered and meet the educators. This quickly turned to something more when Finucane met Byrd Mena, founder of SharpFade, and an international hair show promoter.

Byrd officially joined the Wahl Professional team as a creative consultant with the first goal of helping to bring Disruptor into fruition. His partnership has brought additional industry leaders to the show stops across the country.

Attendees to the first two Disruptour shows were able to interact one on one with the educators without any pressure. “Everybody was so impressed with the barbers and stylists on stage,” said Mena. “Our goal was to bring great education in an intimate setting that was really user-friendly and non-intimidating to barbers and stylists. We were so happy with the feedback. People kept telling us how much they loved what they learned.”

“Wahl strives to be a company that brings the community together wherever they are. The energy from the first two shows was just amazing,” said Lisa Finucane. “We can’t wait to do more of it.”

여러분의 목소리를 내세요! 여러분의 목소리를 내세요! OTC 뷰티 매거진은 소중한 여러분의 의견을 수렴하려고 합니다. 매달 몇 가지의 질문을 통해 여러분의 의견을 듣고, 좀더 발전된 잡지를 만들고자 합니다. 약간의 시간을 내 주시어 여러분의 생각들을 전달해 주세요. 질문지에 답변을 하여 저희 사무실로 보내주시거나 이메일을 보내 주시면 됩니다. (연락처는 이 페이지 맨 밑에 있습니다)

Product Spotlight

Brittny Latex Gloves Now more than ever before, customers will be looking for gloves for professional and personal use.

These gloves are made specifically for salon use only; however, many shoppers may choose to use these gloves to protect themselves against germs and bacteria in their day-to-day lives.

Stock up on the Brittny Latex Gloves Pack to ensure you’re ready for the demand.

These powder-free gloves are available in sizes Small through Extra Large and are disposable. There are 10 gloves per pack, so be prepared that some shoppers may buy more than one pack at a time. We recommend placing a quantity cap on how many packs a customer can purchase at one given time.
