From permanent tattoos to shaving the side of the head for an edgy look, millennials want a look that will make a statement.

‘TIS THE SEASON TO SELL

I always enjoy this time of year. October is right on the cusp of the holidays. The celebration of pumpkin spice, tinsel, baked turkeys and Christmas trees is only a month away. And that means there will be tons of holiday parties and family gatherings on the horizon. I, like many of your shoppers, will want to look my best for each of these festive occasions. You can bet that your customers will be getting into the holiday spirit soon, and that means your store will need to change course a bit to keep up with the new demands.

Fourth quarter can be dismal for many businesses. But during last year’s holiday season, the National Retail Federation reported that the retail industry felt an increase in sales by 4 percent. There’s no reason why your store can’t share in this growth. Beauty supply stores can consider this season to be a chance to sell more inventory and gain new customers.

Personally, much of my shopping takes place around this time of year, because many of my favorite stores will have some wonderful deals. Do you have any special deals planned for Black Friday or Christmas? If not, we’ll show you how to make the best of this time of year in the How to Have a Lucrative Holiday Season article on page 62.

This season, sleek hairstyles with tons of shine will be high on the priority list, too. So stock up on products that will help your customers accomplish this look by checking out the Marketplace on 16.

You’ll have a bit of time before the holidays to get ready for what could be a great selling time for your store. Don’t miss out on this opportunity.

After all, ‘tis the season.

Expert Advice

by Evonne Jordan

How to Take Care of Your Edges

Hair loss, especially around the edges is all too common for black women. Whether you wear your hair natural or relaxed, edges speak volumes about your hair health, and just how well you maintain your overall look, period. Stress, hereditary, diet and even our obsession with wearing weaves, braids and lace front wigs can damage your hair line. There are other ways you can get thinning edges. Excessive pulling, tugging, tight ponytails and buns are not good for you if you make them too tight. The edges of your hair are very thin and fragile, which means they are more likely to break or come out. So take time to give your edges some love.

Scalp

stimulating oils and treatments

There are many victims of hair loss, so we have to learn to educate ourselves on what do to keep our hairline and scalp intact. To give your hair moisture, you can use products like Evonne Essentials Sweet Citrus Touch Magic Growth Balm or Strengthening Serum Growth Oil. These products have natural ingredients in them such as shea butter, Vitamin E oil, castor oil and more that gives your hair the nourishment that it needs. These products not only smell and feel amazing, but they also contain ingredients that are known to nourish and stimulate the scalp and hair. Whichever product you use, you need to massage the oils, liquids and/ or creams into your edges with your fingers. Do not use the bristle of a brush. That does not help your edges.

Hairline-Friendly Ingredients

• Water hydrates the hair and body. It helps regulate the circulatory system, which feeds the hair follicle, which then stimulates hair growth.

• Castor oil is a great oil to promote hair growth and control hair loss. Castor oil carries ricinoleic acid and omega-6, which accelerate blood circulation the scalp, hence increasing hair growth. It also fights scalp infections and dandruff.

• Shea butter is a natural ingredients that is great for nourishing hair. It also has inflammatory properties which help to heal the scalp to re-grow.

• Peppermint oil can help stimulate hair growth because of its ability to increase blood circulation around the scalp.

Maintaining Your Edges

To stop breakage and maintain your edges, try managing your stress, have a balanced diet and changing your hairstyling routine to include safe low maintenance styles. You can also reduce heat styling, stop using harsh chemicals (i.e. dyes, bleaches, relaxers, etc.), give your hair moisture, loosen up the styles that may cause tension on the scalp and wear a silk scarf. The hair edges for many women are often the victims of constant abuse. It’s time we took better care of our hairlines. We have to treat our edges like royalty. We must pay attention to our hair needs and take the time to treat and repair our hair.

Customers looking to keep their hair under control in any holiday situation will love the ORS Defining Shaper Holding Spray. This spray helps control frizz in straight or curly styles and it has the smoothing properties of Brazilian Pequi Oil. www.orshaircare.com

SEASONAL COLORS

So keep hair colors in stock that customers will request like the rich shades in the Sparks Hidra Color Natural collection. Each color has great gray coverage and high-gloss shine. www.sparkscolor.com

HOLIDAY GLAM

Shoppers will undoubtedly be looking for special touches for their festive look, especially when they have plans to attend holiday cocktail parties and events. Ardell Faux Mink Lashes 812 are a great accent to any glamorous makeup look. These natural looking lashes are made of extra-fine fibers that are strategically longer in the center of the eye, to give an eye-opening effect. www.ardelllashes.com

How should you sell it?

by Sonja Watford-Mair

Customers don’t just drop by the beauty supply store for their hair care needs. Many affordable cosmetic brands can be found in these stores, and are a significant draw for shoppers. But like at any store, consumers like to test out a makeup product before purchasing – that’s where cosmetic trial stations come into play.

How can OTC retailers utilize cosmetic trial stations to effectively sell more makeup at their stores?

“When it comes to cosmetics and beauty products, millennials lead the way. They are the largest generation in America, with women ages 18-34, and make up the biggest portion of the 13 billion cosmetic industry sales. This generation is impacting how, why, and where cosmetic buying is being done. Capitalizing on these factors can equate to more sales for OTC retailers.

Beauty supply stores that offer affordable makeup choices, can now compete with the expensive department stores. More cosmetic shoppers are using social media to make purchase decisions. A recent poll found that the number of consumers who would rather check out a product’s reputation or price comparison on their smart phone - versus asking a salesperson for assistance - climbed to 58 percent. This shift is why some companies have released try-on and how-to apps to increase consumer knowledge without the help of salespeople. Shoppers have now turned to experts on YouTube, Facebook, and bloggers to keep up with the latest trends.

Keeping this in mind, here are a few suggestions to maintaining and increasing cosmetic sales in retail stores:

Testing – Testing is vital to today’s cosmetic shopper. It’s also one of the reasons specialty stores are so successful. It offers a playground for consumers to test and decide what they want to purchase.

Advertise – Make customers well aware of the beauty products and brands that are carried. Remember to advertise just as you would hair and other products.

Enhance – Keep makeup areas clean and well lit, popular brands well stocked and request testers and support from manufacturers. Provide tissues, mirrors and supplies to keep customers engaged.

As buying patterns shift, make your customer’s cosmetic experience one that will keep them returning. Make it fun!”

The Beauty Industry’s New Miracle Cure: Marula Oil

Marula Oil is the latest nature-derived discovery that’s rousing the beauty industry worldwide. This multipurpose miracle oil comes from Marula trees in Africa. It is used in food and on the skin by locals, who for centuries have revered the oil’s invaluable properties. Consisting of a variety of beneficial fats and antioxidants, Marula Oil is harvested by local women and extracted from the nuts and shells of the Marula tree’s fruits and is now being used in a variety of cosmetics and skin care products.

The uses and benefits of Marula Oil reach far and wide. For thousands of years, women in rural areas of Africa have cracked the Marula Fruit’s nut by hand to unearth kernels containing the treasured oil. Once the kernels are removed from the shell, they are put into a pressing machine, and then handpressed to extricate the oil. The process of harvesting the oil is simple, yet tiresome, and allows the oil to be used in a variety of ways. The Tsonga people of South Africa and Mozambique have used the oil to cleanse, moisturize and soften the skin and babies are often lathered in the oil to keep their skin smooth and healthy. The Bushmen and Bantu tribes of Africa cooked with the oil and include it in baked items as a spice, and the Venda tribe tenderized meat with it. Today, the traditional cosmetic and cooking uses of the oil have inspired beauty manufacturers to incorporate it into skin and hair care goods, making it the latest, coveted component in beauty products.

Marula Oil gives the industry’s most popular oils - coconut and argansome serious competition. It has an exceptionally high oxidative stability, making it resistant to spoilage and rancidity. This oxidative stability makes the oil ideal for use in cosmetics that require a sustained shelf-life. The high composition of antioxidants and fatty acids in the oil make it beneficial to the skin, nails and hair, both when used externally, and internally when incorporated into the diet. The oil’s nutty yet floral fragrance is delicate and appealing and the oil is non-comedogenic, meaning it doesn’t clog pores. Furthermore, Marula Oil’s light and fast-absorbing texture allow for quick and easy application without leaving a greasy residue.

Skin benefits

excellent reverser of chapped skin and conditions like eczema and dermatitis. It fights aging and stretch marks and can be used all over the body, from face to toes, as a moisturizer and even cleanser.

Hair benefits

High in oleic acid and vitamin C, Marula Oil can be used to moisturize and restore the hair as well. Just a little of the oil goes a long way in the hair, and its lightweight texture is easily absorbed into hair strands without making them look and feel oily. Marula Oil coats, smooths and seals hair strands and sooths the cuticle, making the hair more shiny, soft and manageable. It also protects the hair shaft from environmental toxins and aggressors, and also from heat and styling damage. The variety of antioxidants, fatty acids, vitamins and nutrients in the oil create a protective shield to keep the hair from being burnt and damaged by the use of blow dryers, curling irons and other tools. In addition to applying the oil to the hair, the oil can also be incorporated into conditioners to create a deeply moisturizing mask.

Nail benefits

Marula Oil is also beneficial for use on the nails. The oil strengthens weak and brittle nails and smooths cuticles. The many nutrients and vitamins in the oil support the nail bed and keep the nail from splitting, bending and breaking. As the oil absorbs quickly, it can be used on hands and finger tips without the fear that it will make its way on other things and leave greasy marks.

Marula Oil is hugely beneficial when used directly on the skin. The oil is super hydrating, without being slick and greasy, and hence, doesn’t clog pores and can be used on all skin types (including skin prone to acne and breakouts). It can be used as a moisturizer and as a cleanser. The oil’s high nutrient content makes it healing to red, itchy skin and prevents scarring from acne and blemishes. Marula Oil fights sun damage and wrinkles, and protects against environmental assailants, including pollution, strong wind and free radicals. Comprised of Omega 6 and Omega 9 fatty acids and vitamin E, the oil is an

Meet Natasha Bhalla

Benefits of cooking with Marula Oil

Cooking with Marula Oil can be very useful for the diet and can translate into healthier skin, hair and nails. The oil’s high nutritional content and stable properties make it ideal for use over high heat, unlike other popular oils. When incorporated into the diet, Marula oil supports cell walls, combats inflammation and provides nutrients essential to fighting disease, aging and general illness. The high volume of essential fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants in the oil support all systems of the body, and can help repair damage done to cells while also healing the digestive system.

Clearly, Marula Oil is the new wondrous ingredient being incorporated into beauty products and its benefits are extensive. Known as “The King of Fruits” in Africa, the oil is high in nutrients, beneficial fats and antioxidants. This antiaging, healing and deeply moisturizing oil is coveted by beauty professionals and consumers alike for its amazing value. While the incorporation of the oil is relatively new to beauty, its many benefits will continue to propel its use in more products over the next few years.

Safe Straightening

How to Direct Customers to Healthier, Safer Options For Their Hair Straightening Needs

안전한 스트레이트닝

직모를 원하는

Your beauty store demographic is most likely a multicultural mix with different hair types and textures. With the ongoing popularity of hair straightening products and tools for all types of hair care clients, make sure you are offering healthy hair straightening solutions. It is especially vital that customers with chemically processed hair, thinning hair or hair loss practice healthy straightening techniques, with products designed specifically to rehydrate hair after chemical or heat processes. You can offer temporary solutions that are applied as part of a hair straightening blow-out or longer-lasting chemical services that offer alternatives to formaldehyde application.

Chemical-Free Straightening

For more permanent straightening solutions, look for systems that offer results while still being free from toxins.

Gregorio Luciano of Dominican Magic Hair Care has developed effective straightening options that offer results without formaldehyde. Dominican Magic includes ingredients native to the Dominican Republic, using coconut oil and shea butter for muchneeded hydration. Luciano has a background in chemistry and researched for years to develop his own healthy straightening alternatives. He says, “Formaldehyde straighteners that release harmful gas are unfavorably toxic for both hairstylists and clients. We offer four different formaldehyde-free straightening systems in our product portfolio. The first system uses urea and a sulfide complex combined with hydrolyzed quinoa, hydrolyzed

케미컬을 사용하지 않는 스트레이트닝

좀 더 장기적인 스트레이트닝 해결책을 원하시면, 독성물질의 사용없이 결과를 제공하는 시스템들을 찾으세요.

Dominican Magic Hair Care의 Gregorio Luciano는 프롬알데하이드 없이도 결과를 내는 효과적인 스트레이트닝 방법을 개발했습니다. Dominican Magic은 도미니카 공화국의 원재료들을 사용하며, 정말 필요한 보습을 위해 코코넛기름과 시어버터(shea butter)을 이용합니다. Luciano는 화학관련 이력이 있으며, 자신만의 건강한 스트레이트닝 방법을 개발하기 위해 수년간 연구를 했습니다. 그는 “프롬알데하이드 스트레이트너는 독성 가스를 방출하여 고객 및 헤어스타일리스트

keratin and wheat protein to break the disulfide bonds in the hair. Due to a very small molecule size, the formulation is able to penetrate the hair follicle and infuse the proteins into the hair bond, which causes straightening.”

For smoothing and frizz control, the company uses a combination of glycolic acid, hydrolyzed protein and glyoxylic acid that unlike formaldehyde, is able to cross-link to the hair bonds without producing harmful gas. For those customers with ultra coarse hair texture, the company offers a traditional hair relaxer in two categories with a lye and a no-lye relaxer. In all of these systems, coconut oil and shea butter play an important role. Coconut oil provides important hydration, stimulates hair growth and helps prevent hair loss. Coconut oil is able to penetrate the hair shaft and is rich in amino acids for moisturizing. Combined with silicone, the coconut oil is pushed further into the hair cuticle, lowering the surface tension for better penetration and more consistency. Luciano shares, “In the Dominican Republic, due to our African, European and indigenous ancestry we have dealt with a variety of hair textures. Over the generations, our ancestors have used ingredients that can truly be used for all types of hair. Our hair care product system reflects that philosophy and respects the integrity of the hair by offering natural and safe solutions for straightening.”

Beautiful Blowouts

For a temporary solution lasting up to three weeks, consider a blowout service. Paulette Wilson has been a licensed cosmetologist for over 30 years and specializes in ethnic hair care in her native Miami, Florida. Wilson is an educator for Dominican Magic Hair Care and travels to cosmetology schools to demonstrate hair straightening techniques. Although Wilson specializes in ethnic hair care she emphasizes the fact that hair straightening and conditioning is universal. “Hair is hair. It is all the same and just differs in texture. We want to treat it well and help clients with dry or damaged hair whether they are ethnic or Caucasian. Our local Miami weather affects our hair and we need moisture,” Wilson said. “We use products with coconut oil, avocado and aloe to naturally condition the hair.” After the blowout is washed out; the client’s natural curls will return healthier and stronger than before the service.

첫번째 시스템은 hydrolyzed quinoa, hydrolyzed keratin, 그리고 밀 단백질이 결합된 urea와 sulfide의 복합체를 사용하여 머리카락에 있는 disulfide 결합을 끊습니다. 매우 작은 분자 크기로, 이 혼합물이 모낭까지 침투하여 단백질을 머리카락 연결고리에 흡착시킴으로써, 스트레이트닝을 가능케 합니다.

부드러움과 곱슬머리를 위한 관리를 위해, 이 회사는 glycolic acid, hydrolyzed protein 그리고 glyoxylic acid의 혼합물을 사용하여, 프롬알데하이드와는 달리 해로운 가스의 생산 없이 hairbond까지 연결을 가능케합니다. 매우 굵은 모발을 가진 고객들을 위해서는, 잿물 (lye)과 무잿물(no-lye)의 두 가지 전통적인 모발 릴랙서(relaxer)를 제공합니다. 이 모든 시스템에 있어, 코코넛기름과 시어버터가 중요한 역할을 합니다. 코코넛 기름은 중요한 수분을 제공하고, 모발성장 촉진 및 모발손실을 방지합니다. 코코넛기름은 모간을 침투할 수 있으며 수분을 위한 아미노산이 풍부합니다. 실리콘과 함께 적용하면, 코코녓기름이 머리 표피 깊숙히 침투되어 표면장력을 낮춤으로써, 침투력과 일관성을 향상시킵니다. “아프리카, 유럽, 그리고 원주민의 계통을 물려받았기 때문에, 우리는 도미니카 공화국에서 다양한 질감의 머리카락을 상대해 왔습니다. 세대를 거치면서 저희 선조들은 모든 종류의 머리카락에 실질적으로 사용할 수 있는 원료들을 사용했습니다. 저희 헤어케어 제품 시스템은 바로 이 철학을 반영하여, 자연적이고 안전한 스트레이트닝 해결책을 제공함으로써 머리카락의 건강을 존중합니다.”라고 Luciano 가 말합니다.

The blow-out technique will involve a roller set and blow drying. As there is a high amount of heat involved, you must use high-quality support products that properly protect and hydrate the hair. By offering these quality products for professionals, you can assist customers in their pursuit for healthier, straighter strands. Wilson advises that hair stylists ensure their clients use top notch products at home, as well. High-end products can be offered in local beauty supply stores. “The Dominican Magic Silk

3주까지 지속되는 일시적인 해결책으로는, 드라이 서비스를 고려해 볼 수 있습니다. Paulette Wilson은 지난 30년이 넘게 전문 미용사로 일했으며, 플로리다 마이에미에서 소수인종 헤어케어를 전문적으로 하고 있습니다. Wilson은 Dominican Magic Hair Care 의 교육자이며 헤어스트레이트닝 기술을 직접 보여주기 위해 미용 학교들을 방문하고 있습니다. Wilson은 소수인종 헤어케어를 전문으로 하지만, 헤어스트레이트닝/ 컨디셔닝은 같은 것이라고 강조합니다. “ 머리카락은 그냥 머리카락이에요. 다 같은 머리카락이며, 단지 질감만 달라요. 저희는 머리카락을 잘 다루려고 노력하며, 매마르거나 손상된 머리카락을 가진 고객들을 소수 또는 백인이든 상관없이 도와줘요. 마이애미 기후가 머리카락에 영향을 줘서 수분이 필요해요,”라고 Wilson이 말했습니다. “저희는 코코넛기름, 아보카도, 그리고 알로에를 사용하여 자연적으로 머리카락을 관리해요.” 드라이가 잠잠해질 때 쯤이면, 고객들의 자연스런 곱슬머리가 서비스 전보다 더 건강하고 활기 있게 돌아올 것입니다.

이 드라이 기술을 위해서는 롤러 세트와 드라이가 필요합니다. 열을 많이 사용하므로, 머리카락을 적절히 보호하고 보습하는 고급 보조 제품들을 사용해야만 합니다. 이 양질의 제품들을 전문가들에게 제안함으로써, 고객들이 더 건강하고 곧바른 머리카락을 가질 수 있게 도와줄 수 있습니다. Wilson은 또한, 헤어스타일리스트들이 고객들이 집에서 최상급의 제품들을 사용하고 있는지 확인할 것을 권장합니다. 고급

Shine Hair Serum is a nice silicone spray for blow dry use that gives great shine, and I use the Thermal Protector Spray before flat iron use to protect against heat damage,” Wilson said.

With all of your beauty store options for hair straightening, always emphasize safety and damage control. Thermal protectors, deep conditioners, hair masks, shine serums, the best quality blow dryers, flat irons and heat tools should be on hand. With the proper prevention, hot tool use and after care, straightened hair can be healthy, silky and full of shine.

TREND ALERT: ENHANCING HAIR ART WITH COLOR

Graff*Etch gives creative barbers a cutting edge with colored pencils

트렌드 상식:

색상으로 만드는 헤어아트

Graff*Etch는 창조적인

채색 연필과 같은 최첨단 기술을 제공합니다.

From permanent tattoos to shaving the side of the head for an edgy look, millennials want a look that will make a statement. While this group can be very expressive with their image, they are also more likely to regret the permanence of tattoos. That’s why temporary designs are becoming increasingly popular. The trendiest in temporary expressions are hair art designs, a form of graphic art created on bare scalps with colored pencils.

The trend caught on when Graff*Etch pencils hit the scene. Specifically designed for tagging, tracing and filling in barbers’ etchings with bold, bright color, Graff*Etch pencils give barbers limitless possibilities. Linda Eisner, the founder of Graff*Etch, has been in the cosmetics industry for more than 30 years and prides herself on her high-quality pencils. The idea for the colorful tools came to her in 2009, when she debuted her

영구적인 문신에서부터 멋을 위해 옆 머리를 면도하는 일에 이르기까지, 밀레니엄 세대는 자신을 나타내는 것을 좋아합니다. 이 세대는 자신의 이미지에 대해 표현을 할 수 있지만, 또한 그들은 영구적 문신을 후회할 가능성도 큽니다. 그러므로 한시적인 디자인이 점점 인기를 얻고 있습니다. 한시 디자인의 가장 세련된 것은 헤어 아트 디자인으로, 손과 채색

연필만 있으면 그래픽 아트를 창조할 수 있다는 것입니다. Graff*Etch 연필이 시중에 나왔을 때 큰 화제를 불러

일으켰습니다. 대담하고

밝은 색상으로 미용사의

에칭에 태깅하고, 그려내고, 채우기 위해 미용사들은 무한한

natural eyeliner Pencil Me In at the beauty trade show Premiere in Orlando, Florida. Professionals such as Major League Barbers and renowned barbers Nieves Almaraz and Charlie Lopez approached her booth to purchase the pencils. Professionals were using their razors and clippers to create artistic designs on their customers’ scalps. It turned out that the colored pencils came in handy to add color, create sharp angles and fill in hair lines and beards.

Using the pencils to bring hair designs to life turned out to be the start of something special: graffiti art for the hair.

자연스러운 아이라이너인 Pencil Me In를 처음으로 시연했습니다. 저명한 미용사인 Nieves Almaraz와 Charlie Lopez는 그녀의 부스에서

채색 연필을 사고 싶어 했습니다. 전문가들은 고객의 두피에 예술적 디자인을 만들기 위해 면도기와 가위를 사용해 왔습니다. 편리하게 사용 가능한 채색 연필은 색을 더하고 날카로운 각을 만들고 헤어라인과 턱수염을 채우기 위해 쓰이고 있습니다.

“At that moment, I realized I had to sell pencils for hair,” said Eisner in her online biography. “Initially, I thought my eyeliner pencil brand would be perfect for hair art. What I discovered is even extraordinary cosmetic pencils do not meet the special requirements for coloring in hair art.”

Eisner reformulated the pencils to accommodate the sensitivity of a newly-shaved scalp. She also made sure the pencil colors were creamy and blendable, allowing for more creative reign. Each pencil comes with a builtin sharpener and is about 7 inches long. All of the pencils are fragrance-free, allergy tested and paraben and petroleum free. The best part: The colors are temporary. As quickly as someone can change their mind, they can also wash the color out. But the color stays put, even if the customer sweats.

By the looks of it, graphic hair art is picking up steam with little chance of slowing down. And Graff*Etch’s popular colored pencils are making their mark in barber shops across the nation.

Jinny Beauty Supply now offers Graff*Etch pencils in packs of eight. Colors include white, red, blue, yellow, green, orange, black and light blue.

채색 연필을 사용하여 머리 디자인에 생명을 불어

넣는 것은 특별한 시작이 되었습니다: 머리카락을 위한 그래피티 예술.

“그 순간, 나는 머리카락을 위해 채색 연필을 판매해야 된다는 것을 깨달았습니다” Eisner는 그녀의 온라인 약력에서 언급했습니다. “처음에는 아이라이너 연필

브랜드가 헤어아트에 완벽하다고 생각했습니다. 내가 발견한 것은 특별한 화장품 연필조차도 헤어 아트 색소에 대한 요구 사항을 충족시킬 수 없다는 것입니다.”

Eisner는 바로 면도한 피부의 민감성에 수용할 수 있게 채색 연필을 다시 만들었습니다. 또한 그녀는 채색 연필을 창조적인 디자인을 위해 크리미하고 잘 섞을 수 있게 만들었습니다. 각각의 연필은 깎기 도구가 내장되어 있으며 길이는 약 7inch (17.8 cm)입니다. 모든 연필은 무향이며, 알레르기 테스트를 거쳤고, 파라벤과 석유는 사용하지 않았습니다. 가장 뛰어난 것은, 색이 한시적으로 유지된다는 것입니다. 마음이 바뀌었다면, 색을 씻어내면 됩니다. 그러나 고객이 땀을 흘린 경우에는 색이 유지됩니다.

예술적인 헤어 아트는 성장이 둔화할 가능성 없이 인기가 나날이

높아지고 있습니다. 그리고 Graff*Etch의 인기 있는 채색 연필은 전국의 미용실에서 점점 유명해지고 있습니다.

Jinny Beauty Supply는 Graff*Etch 채색 연필을 8개 세트로 판매하고 있습니다. 색은 흰색, 빨간색, 파란색, 노란색, 초록색, 주황색, 검은색 그리고 하늘색 등이 있습니다.

Reading Labels

Understanding the fine print and choosing the right products

In my last article, it was stated that the ingredient that attracted you to a product may contain less of that item than other ingredients listed on the back of the label. This can be determined by remembering that ingredients must be listed in the order that exists in the product. If a product contains less of a preferred ingredient than expected that’s not necessarily a bad thing, because most hair-benefiting ingredients are so potent that it only requires a small amount to bring about the advertised results. For example, a cup of coffee is 96 percent water. Any more than that would render it too strong to enjoy. Most shampoos and dishwashing products are 85 to 95 percent water. Yet that is sufficient for its intended purpose.

So popular benefiting conditioners such as argan, olive, coconut and jojoba oils, vitamins, shea butter, biotin, keratin, aloe vera, lanolin, and etc. are in most products in the amount that would best benefit its advertised purpose. The other items in the product, such as gels, deionized water, creams, mineral oil and others serve as a base to support and encapsulate the advertised substance. Another good example of this is a hair relaxer. Less than 2 percent of the total product is the active ingredient that makes it work.

저의 지난번 기사에서, 여러분의 구미를 당겼던 성분이 다른 성분들보다 덜 함유될 수도 있을 것이라고 언급했었습니다. 재료는 제품에 많이 함유되어 있는 순서대로 나열 되어야 하기 때문입니다. 대부분의 헤어에 유익한 성분들이 너무 강력해서 소량만 필요한 경우가 많기 때문에, 이 말에 오해의 소지가 있을 수 있습니다. 예를 들어, 한 잔의 커피는 96% 가 물입니다. 그 이상의 성분이 포함되어 있다면 너무 강해 커피 맛을 즐길 수 없을 것 입니다. 대부분의 샴푸와 세제 제품은 85~95%가 물입니다. 하지만 원하는 효과는 충분히 낼 수 있습니다.

아르간, 올리브, 코코넛, 호호바 오일, 비타민, 시어 버터, 비오틴, 케라틴, 알로에 베라, 라놀린 등 컨디셔너 광고에 가장 효과가 좋은 성분들은 대부분의 제품에 함유되어 있습니다. 젤, 탈염수, 크림, 미네랄 오일 및 기타 제품과 같은 기타 항목은 광고를 하고 있는 성분을 도와 주기 위한 기본 역할을 합니다. 이에 대한 또 다른 좋은 예는 헤어 릴랙서입니다. 전체 제품의 2% 미만이 유효 성분입니다.

“ As an informed consumer, you should know how to read labels, and understand them. ”

As an informed consumer, you should know how to read labels, and understand them. If you tried to use 100 or even 50 percent of an active substance, it would be too thick, too sticky, too potent, to be of any useful purpose as a hair conditioner. Too much of a good thing can be devastating. And not understanding the basic ingredients in a product can also be dangerous.

정보를 받은 소비자로서 라벨을 읽고 이를 이해하는 방법을 알고 있어야합니다. 100% 또는 50%의 활성 물질을 사용 하려고 하면 너무

Beware of Products Labeled Protein

Many cosmetologists are attracted to products that claim to contain protein. Indeed they probably do contain protein but not the types that can best benefit the hair. Unless the product identifies the type of protein on its label, you should be suspicious of that item and even those that do identify the protein. You should be aware of what type of proteins best benefit the hair.

Chemistry and biology have identified the contents of varying types of proteins from many different sources, such as animals, plants and minerals. Actually, all matter that comprises this earth is derived from these three sources. The protein that can best be absorbed by the hair are referred to as keratin, amino acids, polypeptides (PPT) and animal hydrolyze. All of these terms refer to a protein from basically the same source, which is the hoof an animal such as a pig, horse, goat, cow, etc. The hoof of an animal is the same substance as the cuticle layer of the hair shaft, as well as some inner structures of the hair shaft. When they take the hoof of an animal and process it into the finished product that we know as liquid protein, the process is known as hydrolyzing, hence the term animal hydrolyze.

“

단백질이 표시된 제품주의

많은 미용사들은 단백질을 함유하고 있다고 주장하는 제품에 끌립니다. 사실 제품들은 단백질을 함유하고 있지만 모발에 가장 적합한 유형은 아닙니다. 제품 라벨에 표시된 단백질 유형을 확인하지 않는 한, 해당 품목 및 심지어 단백질로 표시된 품목까지 의심해야합니다. 어떤 타입의 단백질이 모발에 가장 좋은지 알고 있어야합니다.

Not understanding the basic ingredients in a product can also be dangerous. ”

화학 및 생물학은 동물, 식물 및 미네랄과 같은 다양한 곳에서 나오는 다양한 단백질 유형을 식별했습니다. 사실, 중요한 점은 이 지구를 구성하는 것이 이 세 원천으로부터 나온다는 것 입니다. 단백질은 케라틴, 폴리펩타이드 (PPT) 및 동물 가수 분해가 될 수 있습니다. 이 모든 용어는 기본적으로 돼지, 말, 염소, 젖소 등과 같은 동물의 발굽과 같은 원천 단백질을 의미합니다. 동물의 발굽은 기본적으로 모간의 표피층과 동일한 물질입니다. 동물의 발굽으로 우리가 액체 단백질로 알고있는 완성된 제품으로 가공 할 때는 가수분해로 알려져 있는 과정을 거치므로 동물 가수 분해라는 용어를 사용합니다.

Many so-called liquid proteins on the market contain soy protein which is derived from a vegetable source. Although it is not harmful to the hair, the hair cannot and will not absorb it, because this type of vegetable protein is foreign to the composition of the hair. However, it can aid in grooming the hair, it cannot repair damaged hair. Many manufacturers are able to get away with this type of deceit because they know that many cosmetologists are not aware of the differences between one protein and another. This practice is misleading because soy protein is much easier and cheaper to obtain than the aforementioned animal proteins and yet many companies charge the same price or more for them because they make the product appear to be thicker and more concentrated in content.

While reading the back of a product label can be hard to understand, knowing just a little bit about the listed ingredients can go a long way in helping you help your customers with choosing a product that is right for them.

시장에서 소위 액체 단백질이라고 하는 것은 식물성 원료에서 추출한 콩 단백질을 함유하고 있습니다. 이것은 머리카락에 유해하지 않지만, 머리카락은 이 성분을 흡수할 수도 없고 하지도 않을 것 입니다. 왜냐하면 이러한 유형의 식물성 단백질은 머리카락의 구성과 이질적이기 때문입니다. 많은 제조업체들은 수 많은 미용사들이 단백질간의 차이점을 알지 못하기 때문에 이러한 종류의 속임수를 알게 모르게 사용할 수 있습니다. 이러한 관습은 대두 단백질이 앞서 언급했던 동물성 단백질보다 훨씬 쉽고 저렴하나 많은 회사들이 제품이 더 진하고 내용물이 더 농축되도록 제조하기 때문에 동일한 가격 또는 더 비싸게 판매하여 오히려 오해의 소지가 있습니다.

제품 라벨의 뒷면을 읽을 때 이해하기 어려울 수 있지만 나열된 성분에 대해 조금만 알고 있으면 고객에게 적합한 제품을 선택하는 데 많은 도움을 줄 수 있습니다.

Company History

Keystone Laboratories traces its roots back to 1924 and has grown to be one of the most transformative businesses in the multicultural beauty industry. Keystone has a long history of breaking away from the status quo. The company was founded by Jewish American immigrants, Joseph and Hilda Menke, who partnered with an African American chemist, Jackson Greene, to distribute cosmetic goods to African American communities throughout the South. At the time, none of these concepts were widely accepted. From these humble but eclectic beginnings, Keystone grew to be the largest ethnic cosmetics manufacturing firm in the South, employing over 4,000 agents at its peak. In the 1940’s, the company continued to ‘break the mold’. After Joseph passed away, Hilda took control of Keystone and was instrumental in diversifying the product offerings to meet modern consumer demands. Interestingly, she was also the mastermind behind Keystone’s operations, sales and marketing. She ran Keystone until Hubert Menke, their son, was ready to take over. Hubert ran the firm until the mid-1990s, making it one of the most successful companies in the multicultural industry. Today, Keystone fully embraces its heritage and is more focused than ever on producing the same quality products that have been demanded by its consumers for decades. The company also has an eye to the future and are pioneering new and revolutionary products to meet the needs of a new generation of consumers.

Cornel McBride, Sr., Founder of McBride Research Laboratories

McBride, Sr. Founder McBride Research Laboratories

Cornell McBride, Sr., a pioneer in the black haircare industry, was born on August 14, 1943, in Savannah, Georgia. He is the founder, president and CEO of McBride Research Laboratories, Inc. (MRL), which manufactures and distributes hair care products to international markets. McBride was raised in a poor community surrounding a sugar refinery in Savannah where his father worked. After graduating from high school in 1961, he migrated north and worked briefly for a pharmaceutical company. McBride married his high school sweetheart and joined the U.S. Air Force in 1962 and served until 1967. That same year McBride, his wife Harriet and their baby daughter moved back to Georgia. He attended Fort Valley University for three years then transferred to Mercer University in Macon where he earned a bachelor’s degree from the School of Pharmacy in 1973.

While at Mercer, he and his fellow classmate Therman McKenzie established M&M Products Company, developing a formula that eventually became Sta-Sof-Fro, the first product to actually soften natural black hair. By the mid-1980s, M&M Products had four national brands: Sta-Sof-Fro, Sof-N-Free, Moxie and Curly Perm. The company’s annual revenues exceeded $40 million, making it one of the top Black haircare companies in the world. In 1989, after a series of business troubles, McBride and his partner sold M&M Products to Johnson Products.

McBride bounced back from financial decline in 1990 when he established McBride Research Laboratories, headquartered in Decatur, Georgia. McBride has used his talents as a registered pharmacist to develop lines of innovative products called Wave by Design and Design Essentials. His distribution network includes the utilization of product distributors as independent entrepreneurs to take the products directly to beauty salons in the United States, the Caribbean and the United Kingdom.

McBride also masterminded the 24-hour beauty salon for athletes during the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. He was a founder of the American Health and Beauty Aids Institute (AHBAI) in 1982 and served as chairman of the organization from 1984 to 1986. He is a member of the Atlanta Business League, International Business Club, the National Association of Chain Drug Stores, and the Society of Cosmetic Chemists. McBride recently authored A Cut Above: How Cornell McBride Made Millions in the Hair Care Biz. The book offers readers a road map for building wealth and stresses the importance of determination, family values, perseverance, goal setting and “giving back” as key components of one’s life.

McBride and his family live in Decatur, Georgia.

Making decisions is always difficult. It is hard enough when the decision needs to be made by a group of like-minded peers; but the hardest type of decisions to make are those in which there are multiple generations involved in the process. So what do you do? Bringing out the best in the generations impacting your decisions requires four critical approaches to ensure their decision-making involvement stays on track and is focused on moving to a decision outcome that matters.

1. Don’t Assume Everyone Has Enough Insight

Decision making does not get a participation trophy. Just showing up is not enough in today’s fast-paced business environment. Careful consideration of the available decision options is important. Frequently, the assumption is made that everyone at the table has enough insight and information to participate effectively in the process. All too often they don’t.

Make sure your inter-generational team has enough information so they can be more mindful in evaluating your options. Established professionals can get grounded into a black or white point of view that makes them hold fast to historical assessments of potential options. Younger participants can have a limited viewpoint about possible options and consequences. This is not because they are incapable of complex thought; it’s just they often don’t have enough experience to engage in a more nuanced deliberation.

Prepare them for participating in this process. Do they need advance reading material, such as an article about the critical issue you are going to address? Write up a summary of the critical elements of the issue and why a decision needs to be made. Set the stage at the outset by doing a comprehensive presentation at the first decision making meeting. Provide them with clarity about how the decision relates to your organizational business strategies and why this is an area of concern. Don’t assume they understand this; consider this an educational opportunity.

결정을 내리는 것은 언제나 어렵습니다. 같은 뜻을 가진 동료들이 함께 결정을 내리는 것 조차도 힘듭니다. 하지만 결정을 내리기 가장 어려운 경우는 여러 세대가 연관된 경우입니다. 이럴 경우에는 어떻게 하나요? 당신의 결정에 영향을 미치는 세대들이 최고의 성과를 내기 위해서는 네 가지 중요한 방법을 통해 모두가 결정을 내리는데 참여하고 실제 중요한 결정을 내리는데 집중하게 해야 합니다.

1. 모두가 충분한 통찰력을 가졌다고 가정하지 마세요

결정을 내리는 것은 단순히 참가한 것만으로 상을 받는 것이 아닙니다. 단순히 출석만 하는 것은 현재 빠르게 변화하는 사업환경을 고려할 때 충분하지 않습니다. 선택 가능한 선택의 옵션들을 자세히 고려하는 것이 중요합니다. 종종, 모든 참여자가 결정 과정에 효과적으로 참여하기 위한 충분한 통찰력과 정보를 가지고 있다고 가정을 하게 됩니다. 많은 경우, 이것은 사실이 아닙니다.

당신의 다세대 팀에 충분한 정보를 제공하여, 그들이 당신의 옵션들을 평가할 때 좀더 신중해질 수 있게 만들어야 합니다. 기성 전문가들은 흑백논리의 시각으로 옵션들을 볼 수 있습니다. 젊은 참여자들은 가능한 옵션과 결과들에 대해 제한된 시야를 가질 수 있습니다. 이는 그들이 진보된 생각을 할 수 없어 서가 아닙니다. 이는 단순히, 그들이 더 섬세한 사고를 할 충분한 경험을 하지 못했기 때문입니다.

이러한 과정에 그들이 참여할 수 있도록 준비시키세요. 그들이 당신이 다룰 중요 내용에 대한 어려운 기사와 같은 어려운 글을 읽어야 하나요? 그 내용의 중요 요소들에 대한 요약과 왜 결정을 내려야 하는지에 대해 글을 작성하세요. 첫 결정 미팅에서부터 총체적인 프레젠테이션으로 시작부터 알맞은 환경을 준비하세요. 그들이 이를 이해할 것이라고 가정하지 마세요. 이를 교육적인 기회로 삼으세요.

2. Clarify the Parameters

Keeping an inter-generation group focused is a challenge. They will careen from issue to issue unless you frame things up clearly for them. Establish a framework of what must be considered and the boundaries for how far they can go with the decision options. Set limits. If there are budget or staffing limitations, say so.

Make sure to clarify the boundaries of the group’s role in the decision-making process too. Are they the decision maker, serving in an advisory function to others who will decide, or an influencer with critical insight into key decision options? Put this in writing so no one can say later that they misunderstood or did not hear you say there were limits to work within.

It is easy to defer to a group of enthusiastic young professionals, but unless you stay on top of them, they can go way beyond the appropriate parameters. This can result in very treacherous consequences; both in them going too far and in you dampening their enthusiasm for participating again. Have tons of interim check points and keep re-directing the discussion as needed.

3. Manage the Discussion

Don’t abandon your team to work without your involvement. You don’t have to be there for every workgroup conversation, but you still need to manage the discussion. Most importantly, encourage candid dialog. Clarify for everyone the stakes, the resources of information you need, and begin discussing the decision parameters.

Have them walk through the potentials outcomes of the options under consideration. Require them to discuss the pros and cons of each option. Encourage them to ask questions of each other to explore the consequences of the ideas being suggested. Challenge them to ask if there is an element of this option that could be combined with something already reviewed to make a stronger option.

2.

조건들을 명확히 하세요

집중을 유지하게 하는 것은 쉽지 않습니다. 당신이 정확한 기본구조를 세우지 않으면 그들은 한 주제에서 다른 주제로 빠르게 넘어갑니다. 고려해야만 할 사항에 대한 기본구조와 어느 결정옵션들이 가능한지 제한을 정하세요. 제한을 두세요. 예산과 스태프에 제한이 있다면, 알려주세요.

결정 과정에서 그룹이 맡은 역할에 대한 제한 또한 명확히 하세요. 그들이 결정자인가요, 결정자에게 조언을 하는 조언자 인가요, 아니면 중요 결정 옵션들에 대한 중요 통찰력을 지닌 영향자 인가요? 이 역할들을 글로 적어, 그들이 나중에 잘못 이해했다 던지, 당신이 제한에 대해 말한 것을 못 들었다고 할 일이 없게 하세요.

열정적인 젊은 전문가들의 의견에 따라가기가 쉽지만, 그들을 관리하지 않으면 그들이 적절한 조건을 벗어날 수 있습니다. 이는 매우 위험한 결과를 불러올 수 있습니다. 그들이 조건을 벗어날 때와 재참여로 그들의 열정을 떨어뜨릴 때 모두 위험한 결과를 불러올 수 있습니다. 많은 중간 확인 시점을 정해, 토론을 재정비 하세요.

3. 토론을 관리하세요

당신없이

대화를 위해 자리에 있을 필요는 없지만, 그래도 토론을 관리할 필요는 있습니다. 가장 중요하게는

Approach this in a respectful manner. Carefully manage how the group communicates so those with strong voices do not drown out innovative ideas from more introverted participants who may lack confidence in speaking up in the group. If you get each of your participants deeply involved in the discussion, they will develop mutual respect and learn from each other. This enhances inter-generational communication and encourages a more collaborative decision dialog.

4. Manage Expectations

With inter-generational teams, also manage their expectations about how much influence they will ultimately have on the decision-making process. It goes back to the role they play in the decision. Will they get a vote in the decision? Or will they be influencing how you decide? Carefully managing their expectations at the front-end will help manage angst at the back end if you are the final decider and go a different way than they recommend.

Make sure you develop feedback loops and mechanisms for follow-up. You will lose your younger team members if they don’t get periodic follow-up on the decision outcome. If possible, continue to involve the decision team in reviewing the progress of the decision implementation. Then they can help you adjust and adapt your decision strategy based on the evolving outcomes.

중대성과 당신이 필요한 정보자원을 명확하게 알려주고, 결정 조건들에 대해 토론을 하세요. 그들에게 고려중인 옵션의 잠재적인 결과를 차근히 따지게 하세요. 각 옵션의 장단점을 토론하도록 하세요. 제안되는 아이디어들의 결과에 대해 서로에게 질문을 하도록 도와주세요. 그들이 이미 리뷰한 옵션에 현재 토론중인 옵션의 한 요소를 추가하여 더 효과적이 옵션을 생각해 볼 수 있도록 하세요.

공손한 태도로 접근하세요. 그룹이 어떻게 소통을 하는지 자세히 관리하여, 그룹앞에서 말하기 수줍어하는 참여자들의 혁신적인 아이디어가 더 자신감 있는 사람들 목소리에 묻히지 않도록 하세요. 만약 당신이 참여자들이 토론에 깊게 관여되게 한다면, 그들은 서로를 향해 존경심을 가지고 서로로부터 배우게 됩니다. 이것이 다세대 소통과 더 협동적인 대화를 만들어 냅니다.

4. 기대 관리

다세대 팀과 함께, 결정과정에 그들이 궁극적으로 얼만큼의 영향을 주게 될지에 대한 그들의 기대를 관리하세요. 이는 그들이 결정과정에 하는 역할에 관련됩니다. 그들이 결정에 있어 투표권을 가질까요? 아니면 그들이 당신이 결정하는 것에 그들이 영향을 줄까요? 처음부터 그들의 기대를 관리하는 것이, 나중에 당신이 최종결정자로써 그들이 조언한 내용과 다른 결정을 내릴 경우 그들의 불만을 관리하는 데 도움을 줄 것입니다. 그들의 피드백 수용과 재확인을 위한 방도를 개발하는 것을 잊지 마세요. 만약 정기적으로 재차 확인을 하지 않는다면, 당신의 젊은 팀 멤버들을 잃게 될 것입니다. 가능하다면, 결정 팀이 결정사항 적용 상황을 리뷰하도록 참여시키세요. 그렇게 함으로써, 변하는

Inter-generational groups can provide you with significant ideas beyond options you initially considered. When you can do this effectively with inter-generational teams, they bond more effectively and can learn from each other. They can also find unexpected approaches linking possibilities in powerful, and sometimes unexpected ways that may create amazing results.

Final Thoughts

If you effectively manage your inter-generational decision making efforts, you will create a team dynamic that is powerfully focused on resolving issues. At the same time, they will be building critical thinking skills and learning how to work together for future decision making.

그들이 도와줄 수 있습니다.

다세대 그룹은 당신이 처음에 고려했던 옵션을 넘어서서 주목을 할 만할 아이디어들을 제공할 수 있습니다. 만약 이를 다세대 팀이 효과적으로 할 수 있도록 한다면, 그들은 서로 더 가까워 지고, 서로로부터 배울 수 있습니다. 그들은 또한 놀라운 결과를 만들어 낼 파워풀하고, 가끔은 예측하지 못한 방식으로 가능성들을 연결시켜, 예측하지 못한 접근방법을 발견할 수 도 있습니다.

최종 결론

만약 다세대팀이 결정을 내리기 위한 노력을 효과적으로 관리한다면, 문제 해결에 강력하게 집중하는 팀 환경을 만들 수 있습니다. 동시에, 그들은 비판적인 사고 능력을 키울 것이고, 미래의 결정과정을 위해 더 좋은 협동을 할 수 있는지 배우게 될 것입니다.

OMG! Office Management Guide:

Four Keys to Run Your Company with Confidence

놀랄 만한 사무실 관리가이드: 자신감

Statistics seem to be against the likelihood of even half of new businesses staying open to celebrate their 5th anniversary. According to Small Business Trends: – “A bit more than 50 percent of small businesses fail in the first four years.”

This could be troublesome news to anyone with a dream of owning their own business, however, you merely need to read further into the statistics to realize that half of the businesses survived and continued to thrive. It is possible and it absolutely can be profitable to own your own business.

There are four keys to maintaining a successful business. Some require more immediate attention, and others must remain top-of-mind all of the time.

1. Systems – Protocols – Processes These are words that are thrown around often when referring to the function or operation of a business. You often hear “The business isn’t successful because there are no systems in place”; or “Not everyone is following the proper protocols.” Many times when speaking to employees, they state that they didn’t know that there was a protocol in place, or they weren’t trained on the rules.

Your systems determine how you want your business to run. The process is the step to get it done. Creating a system of accountability means that each team member understands what the job is and who is responsible for making it happen. It is recommended that each and every process be written down; it may seem overwhelming, yet it will be so helpful when training a new team member. The final thought on this step is to review your processes often. The world is ever-changing and so is your business.

통계에 따르면 새로운 비즈니스의 절반이 5주년 기념일을 축하하기도 전에 문을 닫는다고 합니다. Small Business Trends 에 따르면 “50% 가 약간 넘는 스몰 비즈니스가 처음 4년 이내에 실패한다.” 라고 한다.

이는 자신 스스로의 비즈니스를 가질 꿈을 꾸는 이들에게 반갑지 않은 소식입니다. 하지만 이 통계를 다시 생각해 보면, 비즈니스의 절반은 살아남아 계속 성장하고 있다는 사실을 알 수 있습니다. 다시 말해서, 자신의 비즈니스 운영은 해 볼만한 하다는 것입니다.

성공적인 사업을 유지하는 데는 4가지 중요요소가 있습니다. 몇몇은 즉각적인 조치를 필요로 하는 것이고, 몇몇 요소들은 항상 염두에 두고 있어야 합니다.

1. 시스템 – 프로토콜– 프로세스 이 단어들은 사업의 운영 및 기능을 거론할 때 자주 등장합니다. “확고한 시스템이 없어서 사업이 성공적이지 않아”, 또는 “적절한 절차를 따르지 않는 이들이 있어.”와 같은 말을 자주 듣게 됩니다. 직원들에게 이야기 할 때면 종종, 그들은 적용되는 프로토콜이 있었는지 몰랐다 던지, 아니면 이 규칙에 대한 훈련을 받지 않았다고 합니다.

당신의 시스템이 당신이 원하는 사업 운영법을 결정합니다. 프로세스는 이를 실행하는 단계입니다. 책임을 강조하는 시스템을 만들면, 각 팀 멤버들이 임무와 그 책임자가 누군지 이해하게 됩니다. 모든 개개의 프로세스들을 종이에 적는 것을 추천합니다. 불가능해 보일 수 있지만, 새로운 팀 멤버를 훈련할 때 매우 도움이 될 것입니다. 마지막으로, 프로세스를 자주 리뷰하는 것입니다. 세계는 계속 변화하고 있고 당신의 사업도 변하고 있습니다.

2. Know Your Numbers – Know Your Business. What does it cost to open your doors? Is your payroll within normal limits for your industry? This may seem like a no- brainer, however: many of the businesses that failed did so because someone else had a better handle on their numbers than the owner.

What numbers are important? The obvious answer is your income and expenses. Looking a bit deeper, make sure you understand what is coming in and what is going out at all times. If there is something suspicious, ask and make sure that you are comfortable with the answer.

3. The Tricky Art of Marketing. The purpose of marketing is to let people know that your doors are open. You have something that they need, that could make life easier, faster, better. It’s not enough to just open your doors and expect the masses will come flooding inside.

What is marketing? To put it simply: – everything is marketing. There is internal and external marketing.

Internal Marketing is customer service and office décor. It is often said that a client or customer loves the storeowner but can’t stand dealing with staff, or vice versa. The look of the office from the moment a customer gets out of their car, is marketing. Is there trash they have to step over, or might there be a strange odor in the office? An interesting exercise is to walk through the office, with customer’s eyes, from the front door until a customer’s business is typically concluded.

External Marketing is how you tell people about you throughout the community. Ads, Website, Billboards, Facebook, Community Events, etc., are all forms of external marketing. Customer attraction and retention must be a constant focus for the health of a business. You need to be aware of how you are getting your new customers based upon what you are doing and determine the return on investment for everything you do. At the same time, have a method for customers to let you know if their experience in your office did not meet their expectations. This would require a post-visit survey, suggestion box or even a follow up phone call.

2. Know Your Numbers – Know Your Business. 사업을 시작하기 위해 얼마가 드나요? 비용이 당신의 산업의 정상 범위안에 있나요? 이는 간단한 질문들 같습니다. 하지만, 많은 실패한 사업들은 누군가가 오너보다 숫자들에 대해 더 잘 알았기 때문입니다.

어떤 숫자들이 중요한가요? 가장 명백한 답은 수입과 지출입니다. 더 자세히 살펴보아, 항상 수입과 지출에 대해 정확히 이해하도록 하세요. 뭔가 의심이 가는 것이 있으면, 질문을 하고, 이에 대한 답변을 수용할 수 있도록 하세요.

3. 기교한 마케팅. 마케팅의 목적은 사람들에게 당신 사업의 존재를 알리는 것입니다. 당신은 그들이 필요한, 그들의 삶을 더 쉽고, 빠르고, 더 풍요롭게 할 수 있는 무언가를 가지고 있습니다. 단순히 문을 열어 대중들이 쏟아져 들어오기를 기대하는 것으로는 부족합니다.

마케팅이란 무엇인가요? 간단히 말해 - 모든 것이 마케팅입니다.

마케팅은 내부 마케팅과 외부 마케팅으로 나누어 집니다.

내부 마케팅은 고객 서비스와 사무실 장식입니다. 종종 고객들은 상점주인을 좋아하지만 직원들은 견디기 힘들다 던지, 아니면 그 반대의 경우인 것입니다. 고객이 고객의 승용차에서 나오는 순간부터 보여지는 사무실의 모습이 마케팅이라고 할 수 있습니다. 고객이 밟고 지나가야 할 쓰레기가 있나요, 아니면 사무실에 이상한 냄새가 나나요? 고객의 눈으로 정문에서부터 고객이 방문 목적을 마치는 시점까지 전체적인 사무실을 훑어보는 것은 흥미로운 연습이 될 수 있습니다.

외부 마케팅은 커뮤니티에 걸쳐 사람들에게 당신을 어떻게 알리냐 하는 것입니다. 광고, 웹사이트, 빌보드, 페이스북, 커뮤니티 이벤트, 등등... 이 모두 외부 마케팅의 한 종류입니다. 사업의 성공여부를 위해 항상 고객의 주목과 관심을 주시하여야 합니다. 어떻게 현재 사업 방식이 새로운 고객들을 끌어오는지 알아 두고, 당신이 하는 모든 행동에 대해 투자/이득의 비율을 따져야 합니다. 동시에, 여러분의 사업장에서의 경험이 기대 이하였을 경우 고객들이 당신에게 이를 알려줄 수 있는 방법을 마련하세요. 이는 방문 후 설문, 제안함, 또는 고객에게 직접 전화하는 방법까지 포함합니다.

4. Communication. We all know how to talk, but do we all know how to communicate? Effective communication is much more than merely transferring information. It is not always easy due to the circumstances. There are two ways to communicate – verbal and written. Each is important and has their place in any business.

Written includes not only formal contracts or return policies, it also offer letters for hiring, performance reviews and counseling memos. Additionally, the written processes mentioned above have a strong value in their ability to thwart any barriers from providing excellent customer service. Anything that is discussed outside of the normal business processes should be documented to protect the business owner and the employee or customer.

4. 소통. 우리 모두 별 문제없이 말을 할 수 있습니다. 하지만 모두가 진정으로 소통하는 법을 알고 있나요? 효과적인 소통은 단순한 정보 전달에서 그치지 않습니다. 상황에 따라 소통이 쉽지 않을 수 있습니다. 소통에는 두 가지 방법이 있습니다 - 말과 글. 이 방법들은 둘 다 중요하고 모든 사업에 사용됩니다.

글은 공식 연락처나 환불 정책만을 포함할 뿐만 아니라, 고용레터, 실적리뷰, 그리고 상담메모까지 포함합니다. 그 외에도, 앞서 언급한 ‘글’ 들은 훌륭한 고객 서비스 제공을 방해하는 어떤 장애물도 제거할 수 있는 큰 가치를 가지고 있습니다. 정상적인 사업 프로세스를 벗어나서 의논 되는 내용은 문서화 하여 사업주인과 직원, 또는 고객들을 보호해야 합니다.

Verbal communication with employees can be directives that take place at team meetings. It is through these meetings that the team understands the vision of the business and what the owner expects of their participation as an employee. These team meetings are a fabulous way to review processes, to ensure that everyone is completing tasks the same way. Updates determined as a team are then put into the processes book. This keeps everyone on the same page.

Communications with customers are just as important to document, to avoid a ‘he said – she said’ type of event. If a promise is made, it should be written down.

The number one frustration in most businesses is the lack of communication. This frustration can lead to good employees leaving or poor performance due to not understanding the role.

Owning a business is the dream of so many people, and it can continue to be a dream that is achieved on an on-going basis. It is important to understand where your business stands and that the team in place has the owner’s vision with each ingrained in their actions.

미팅들을 통해 직원들은 사업의 비젼을 이해하고, 오너가 직원들로부터 무엇을 기대하는지 이해하게 됩니다. 이 팀 미팅들을 통해, 손쉽게 직원들이 임무를 같은 방식으로 완수하는지 확인하여 프로세스를 리뷰할 수 있습니다. 팀이 결정한 새로운 사항들은 프로세스 북에 기입될 수 있습니다. 이로 인해 모두가 이 사항들을 숙지할 수 있게 됩니다.

또한, 증명할 수 없는 상황을 피하기 위해, 고객과의 소통을 문서화하는 것도 중요합니다. 만약 누군가 약속을 했다면, 이를 문서로 남겨야 합니다.

사업들 대부분의 최고 골치거리는 소통의 부재입니다. 이 골치거리는 훗날 좋은 직원이 회사를 그만두거나 또는 직원들이 자신의 역할을 이해하지 못해 성과가 떨어지는 상황으로 이어질 수 있습니다.

사업을 소유하는 것은 정말 많은 사람들의 꿈이며, 이는 계속해서 성취되는 꿈으로 이어질 수 있습니다. 당신 사업의 상태를 파악하고, 사업 팀이 주인의 비젼을 가지고 행동을 실천하는 것이 중요합니다.

Tiny Curling Irons for the Perfect Curls

Today belongs to curly-haired girls! Their hair is the envy of straight-haired women everywhere.

Celebrities and models are hitting the streets and red carpets with every kind of curl imaginable. These latest trends are calling for smaller curling irons for the modern coiled looks. The Hot Tools® 3/8”, 1/2” and 5/8” 24K Gold Curling Irons are among stylists’ favorites for curly styles. Small irons are perfect for taming hair that has a natural curly texture that tends to frizz. Some hair has an uneven texture with tight curls in some places and straighter hair in others, so using a Hot Tools® curling iron on complicated hair like this gives consistency throughout the entire style.

When hair is healthy, it’s easier to style. Because healthy hair requires less time and heat, a curling iron will not need to stay on the hair too long to achieve a natural spiral effect. So starting with healthy, properly treated hair is the best way to ensure great results with minimum time. Select sulfate-free cleansers and moisturizing conditioners for preliminary hair prep, then follow with a curl-defining cream and a heat protectant. Complete the cycle with a daily moisturizer. Using a deep conditioning treatment will also keep hair soft and shiny.

To begin curling, start at the base of your hair (against the scalp), and wrap hair in a spiral twist around the curling iron barrel for perfect spiraled coils. Curls formed with this technique will be tighter than if curled the traditional way. For more of a ribbon curl, start at the ends of your hair and curl up, which will give a loose effect. Remember that the initial curl formation determines the finished look. Also, don’t forget that creating tightly coiled curls requires quite a bit of hair length. Opting for looser curls will create more volume with short hair. Using a satin hair wrap or pillow case will help keep the style looking fresh longer. Wearing a satin bonnet or pillow case will protect the curls while reducing frizz.

Meet Terri

The Rheostat Control Dial delivers temperatures up to 430 degrees, and Pulse Technology® enables the curling iron’s surface to heat up quickly. Constant heat is maintained by the powerful heating capacity of the curling iron’s advanced electronic system. This system quickly recognizes heat loss and sends additional heat to the surface, which reduces styling time, increases hold, and improves shine.

Hot Tool’s curling irons come with an excellent selection of features for maximum performance and convenience. Among stylist’s favorites are a soft touch handle for comfortable grip, a foldaway safety stand to protect counter surfaces, and an 8-foot cord for easier styling in a variety of spaces. Proper cleaning and secure storage will prolong the life of the Hot Tools 24K Gold Curling Irons, and it is also recommended to avoid twisting power cords tightly around the unit. This may stretch appliance wires and cause them to break. The correct way to secure a cord for storage is to fold it back and forth into a bundle, then secure it with a twist tie. Hot Tool’s curling irons also come with a one year warranty.

The fashion and style of decades’ past are reemerging. Stylists are also seeing hairstyles from the past, and a resurgence of an interest in curls. But even though today’s styles may reflect previous eras, we still need to keep those styles looking fresh.

Research shows that women do not mind spending money to get the services, products and tools for the styles they want – whether new or throwback! With today’s clothes and accessories being a perfect match for curly hair looks, Hot Tools® 24K Curling Irons can be the tools that define women’s hairstyle and their personal brand.

The 24K gold on the surface of Hot Tools’ curling irons is the perfect conduit for the even heat required for perfect curls.

Terri Taricco-Cropp has been part of the Professional Beauty Industry since 1984, as a stylist and salon owner. She also has worked in fullservice distribution, online beauty, trade shows and is currently Vice President of Marketing for Hot Tools. She leads a team of dedicated people devoted to bringing the best styling products to stylists and consumers globally.

Notes From The Natural Nation

Fall Cocktail for Natural Hair

Fall is officially here, and winter is just around the corner. The dropping temperatures, the changing leaves, the shelves lined with Halloween decorations … all signs that summer has left us long behind. Colder weather means an adjustment to your customer’s hair and skin care routine, too. As the weeks go on, the outside air becomes thin and dry. Not to mention, turning on the heat in your house quickly zaps away any remaining moisture. You’ll find more and more consumers looking for products that are able to go above and beyond the standard promises of hydration, and those with natural hair are no exception. In fact, when it comes to natural hair, you should take the initiative and steer customers toward items that can provide extra protection and rescue their hair from dryness, frizz and breakage.

Jamaican Mango & Lime® is always on hand to help. You know they offer amazing hair treatments with their Pure Naturals with SmoothMoisture® line, and can soothe skin and scalp irritation with their assortment of Jamaican Black Castor Oils. Instead of simply recommending one product to your customer, shake things up. Impress your customers by suggesting a new hair care tip featuring two Jamaican Mango & Lime® offerings that will help attract and trap moisture during these cold, dry months.

amazing on its own, but adding the black castor oil creates a miraculous combination that defies dryness and gives hair a light-as-a-feather feeling from root to tip. By leaving the mixture in natural hair for 10-20 minutes, incredible ingredients like Coconut Oil, Shea Butter, Hibiscus Extract and pure Castor Oil have plenty of time to work their magic, effectively sealing moisture into each strand. Hair will look healthier, feel softer, and be strong enough to take on the cool, blustery weather.

While talking with your customers, let them know that they can mix a generous helping of Jamaican Mango & Lime® Original Black Castor Oil into the Pure Naturals with SmoothMoisture® Coconut Milk & Honey Moisture Masque before applying it to their hair. Sure, the masque is

Meet Shannon Kwit

Moisture can give dry hair the muscle it needs to stay manageable, but depending on hair type and texture it might not always be enough. If you have a customer looking to give their hair an extra dose of nourishment, point them in the direction of the Jamaican Mango & Lime® Jamaican Black Castor Oil with Vitamins A, D and E. This bottled wonder is packed with nutrients to help repair hair follicles and prevent split ends. You can’t get much better than that.

The fall and winter months are a great opportunity to connect with your customers. You might not have as much foot traffic in your establishment because of the weather, but people will be more willing to stick around and shop in order to defrost. Suggesting Jamaican Mango & Lime® items from both lines will not only show off your knowledge of natural hair, but it will signal to your customers that you truly understand their specific cold-weather needs. With great product recommendations and customer service, you’re setting yourself up as a trusted retailer; and a good reputation is priceless.

Shannon Kwit is a marketing copywriter for Universal Beauty Products, Inc. She works closely with the Jamaican Mango & Lime team to help promote natural hair care and education. She also specializes in men’s grooming products and the natural skin care market.

It’s a 360 degree “Moisture Miracle” NEW! Jamaican Mango & Lime

Pure Naturals with SmoothMoisture is perfectly blended with natural butters, oils, vitamins & honey that surround every strand of dry, thirsty, over-worked hair with intense, long-lasting moisture.

3Ways to Improve Sales During

the Holiday Season

Many OTC stores struggle during the holiday season. There could be a number of reasons for this, but many of these instances can be avoided. If store owners practice a few basic principles, they can guarantee to see an uptick in sales. Here are three surefire ways to make the most of this holiday season.

Decorate

1

Throughout my career, I have visited countless beauty supply stores during the holidays, from Easter to Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and even Christmas. Throughout those visits, I rarely, if ever, saw those stores decorate in any way to bring in more customers. I never saw any lights, banners, or bling of any sort. The big box stores are the opposite, decorating their brick and mortars as a call-to-action to capture those holiday sales and opportunities to not only get more sales but to increase customer loyalty (more on that later). If you drive down the street and see a store that is decorated, no matter what that store is, you’re likely to look twice – as you should. Decorations are meant to be noticed. With very little work, you can put up these items several times a year and even reuse them for the next year. The time investment will be well worth the increase in foot traffic.

Bundle Up

Aside from interior and exterior decorating, stores can bundle older and new items to greatly increase sales, get rid of slow-moving merchandise which in turn will allow room to order newer items. How can they do this? Go to a dollar store and purchase several small baskets and put in two shampoos, a conditioner, a gel, and an edge control. If these items would normally come up to $35 total, discount the package down to 29.99. This way, you’ll get rid of older items and gain a higher sales average per customer. You can do this with new items, as well. For example, you can combine a package of small tools such as a group of three nail colors, polish remover, two files and a small clipper. If the total would be $30 for that, mark the entire package down to $24.99. After the holidays, if these items did not sell, you can always break them down and resell them individually. Baskets look great for this time of year and are a wonderful gift for customers to give to friends or family.

Coupons

2 3

Another way to increase sales during the holidays whether you have one store or 10 locations, is to offer in-store coupons valid at any of your locations. If you have 5, 10, or 15 percent off or a cash discount for when you spend $20 or more, you will for sure attract customers, who will spend more money than they normally would. There is tremendous competition in every city with some cities having stores on the same block. What are you doing to compete or beat the other store owner? An in-store card that is stamped every time a customer comes in, whether that’s for five visits or 10 visits, can earn a shopper an extra discount or free items. Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts built their customer loyalty on this concept. Customers love discounts and free items. By doing this, it keeps your customers coming back to your stores and building their loyalty. If they bring or refer a friend, give them another small discount or future coupon. This is how you build your business.

Store owners need to be more creative and think outside the box to compete. The holidays bring in more traffic so while you have an increased number of customers at holiday time why not give them a reason to visit your store more often?

OP SELLING Leave-In Conditioners

When shopping for styling tools and products, shoppers may turn to online product reviews for guidance. This not only makes customers more likely to purchase popular merchandise, but it also boosts sales for these trending items, as well. That’s why it’s important to know what products are selling well and are in high demand at Jinny Beauty Supply. This monthly feature will keep you posted on what’s in and what’s out, so you can purchase your inventory accordingly.

Leave-In Conditioners are one of the most important products in a hair care routine. This important step helps customers seal in moisture, strengthen their tresses or soften the hair to allow for detangling. But which brands are selling the most of this critical product. We discovered that many of the products are beauty supply store mainstays, having been around for many years. But a few new items made the cut, too. See why these leave-in conditioners are in the highest demand.

The Best Part by Kenny Duncan CLIPPER TIPS

Most male clients don’t change their hairstyles drastically but at times they want something a little different. In this situation, I look for small changes that can be made to the style. A safe suggestion to clients during the consultation is always the simple, yet conservative, part. For example, a simple part can change the look of a pompadour as well as a brush cut with fade. Another benefit of adding a part to a haircut is that I can increase my service ticket in a small amount of time. The key is using the correct tool to get the job done right.

To achieve clean parts and/or lining I typically use two different trimmers: a rotary motor trimmer for the power to “rough in” the line and a magnetic motor trimmer to achieve the finished definition. My favorite rotary motor trimmer is the Andis Slimline Pro Li and in most cases this is my go to trimmer because of its power and close-cutting performance when zero gapped.

When I don’t want to use a razor, such as on a small child or the nape of a female, my go to tool is the Andis T-Outliner or the Styliner M3 magnetic motor trimmers with the factory blade settings. I like to use magnetic motor trimmers with the factory blade settings to avoid skin irritation while also being able to provide heavier pressure to trim closer and cleaner. Using the two different trimmers with different motor types offers me the ability remove thicker hair quicker with the rotary motor trimmer, then to achieve fast precision detail with the magnetic motor trimmer.

It’s important to note that the blade setting or “gap” of the trimmers have an impact on how comfortable the provided service is, too. While zero gapped tools do provide cleaner partings and lining, they can potentially scratch or break the skin, while factory set blades will not. The best equation is to select and use a combination of these tools, utilizing their benefits so that each service features quality, comfort and speed. For professionals and at-home users that have issues zero gapping or aligning trimmer blades, Andis makes a tool called the Blade Gapper that eliminates the guesswork of zero gapping and perfectly aligns the upper and lower blades for skin-close trimming.

Andis produces many trimmer options with both motor types. I suggest you find which model works best for you. To see the complete line of Andis professional tools visit Andis.com.

THERAPY TRENDS

Sampling the Holiday Spirit

by Elayne McClaine

While consumers are in the holiday mood, trial size promotions might add a festive and thrifty touch. Tis the season to seek gift ideas as well as new product trends. Why not convince your vendors to trim your shelves with holiday gift packs? As consumers seek value-added gifting ideas in OTC outlets, there is no better way to pad the upcoming year than with trial sizes. Sampling gift packs could be a welcome addition to the hype of the system on two fronts—travel sizes of existing items or trials sizes of new items. Sample sizing is an excellent way to reward loyalty or provide a saleable gift pack. You might consider a trial size bin or free gift with $5.00 purchase. Consumers are often thinking of trying new ideas or new seasonal items.

Keep in mind that Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday are just the start of the shopping season. Consumers will begin shopping for convenient and relevant gift items before Thanksgiving. Many consumers think of changing their look or their treatment therapy during the holiday season. This would be an ideal time to sample or cross promote a makeup or treatment item. Trial sizes also make good travel items. TSA-compliant gift-able items are always welcomed by the purchaser and the receiver. Coupons could be added to promote sales in a sluggish new year. The holiday season is an excellent time to capitalize on the spirit of giving, sampling and stocking-stuffing. Sampling can spur new product sales. It can also be the gift that keeps giving. OTC dealers can lure customers into their database. Trial sizes or special packs can be offered in exchange for emails or for a subscription to a new product “club”. What better way to reinforce the holiday spirit.

Sundial Brands Named Among the Top 10 Largest Black-Owned Businesses in America

• Debuts at #10 as the only beauty and personal care manufacturer on the BE 100s list

• CEO attributes success in part to company’s purpose-driven Community Commerce model

AMITYVILLE, NEW YORK - Sundial Brands, leading skincare and haircare manufacturer renowned for its innovative use of high-quality, culturally authentic natural ingredients and maker of SheaMoisture, Nubian Heritage, Madam C.J. Walker Beauty Culture and nyakio™, today announced its debut on Black Enterprise Magazine’s BE 100s List as the 10th largest blackowned business in America. With a national reach of 35,000 major retailers, an increasing focus on its global strategy and a continual emphasis on new innovations, Sundial is also the only beauty and personal care manufacturer to make this year’s list.

Black Enterprise marks 45 years of listing America’s largest black companies with the publication’s 2017 issue of the BE 100s, universally recognized as the most authoritative analysis and annual ranking of the nation’s top grossing black-owned companies. The BE 100s ranks America’s largest black-owned companies, including automobile dealers, banks, asset managers, investment banks, and private equity firms. The 2017 Top 100 produced total revenues of $27.5 billion.

“This recognition by Black Enterprise is especially meaningful because it is further evidence that companies built with purpose at the center can do well in business while also making a significant positive impact in the world,” said Richelieu Dennis, founder and CEO of Sundial Brands. “Our purpose is ‘empowering people to live more beautiful lives,’ and we strive to do that each day through our Community Commerce business model, which develops communities through entrepreneurship, education and commerce.”

“We continually ask ourselves, our community, our suppliers and other partners, ‘How can we be fairer than fair trade?’ and ‘What is the next evolution and elevation of corporate social responsibility?’” Dennis continued. “So, the challenge to every entrepreneur and every company is how to develop businesses now and for the future that provide the access and opportunity that allow people to create sustainable economic value for themselves, their families and their communities. This has been our work at Sundial alongside our community for 26 years, and it is the foundation upon which our legacy will always stand.”

With a foundation of family heritage and his own cultural experiences, Dennis leads the company’s vision to serve underserved consumers through efficacious products made with natural, certified organic and fair trade ingredients. As a result, he has become recognized in the market for research innovation because of continual testing and incorporation of

culturally authentic and globally-sourced ingredients into product formulations. By focusing on diverse unmet skin care and hair care needs, Dennis has led Sundial from selling its products on the streets of New York City to selling in and cocreating a comprehensive portfolio of product offerings with America’s largest retailers across mass, prestige, drug, grocery, beauty supply, natural and other specialty channels.

“Our journey has been phenomenal, yet certainly not easy – and our most challenging days will likely lie ahead as we work towards continuing to achieve things that no black-owned company has done before, in a way that the market has not seen before,” said Dennis. “Still, despite increased competition as big beauty companies directly target us and court the women whom they have spent decades ignoring, we remain centered by one thing – the women we serve. They have always been our inspiration – whether in fighting for equality at retail when no one else did, changing the beauty industry by offering natural products for the needs of women of color or revolutionizing their shopping experience by advocating that they have access to all of their needs in one store. We are proud to have been at the forefront of change towards a more inclusive beauty industry, but our work is far from done.”

Under Dennis’ leadership, Sundial has been certified as a B Corp company and holds a Fair for Life social and fair trade certification. Additionally, in 2015 Sundial was named to the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies in the United States and received the 2015 Corporate Social Responsibility of the Year Award from WWD/Beauty Inc, while Dennis was a recipient of the Lewis Institute Changemaker Award from Babson College for efforts in challenging the status quo, creating positive social change and making the world a better place.

In 2016, Dennis was named by OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network to the inaugural “SuperSoul 100” list celebrating a dynamic group of 100 trailblazers using their power to move the world forward and whose vision and life’s work are bringing a higher level of consciousness to the world around them and encouraging others to do the same. Also in 2016, WWD/Beauty Inc awarded SheaMoisture the Ad Campaign of the Year Award for its “Break the Walls” efforts, which Dennis led to challenge the beauty industry’s divisive constructs and standardized ideals, redefine the meaning of “normal” in beauty and advocate for the industry to reflect inclusive beauty where “everybody gets love.” Continuing these accolades, in 2017, Dennis was named to Fast Company’s Most Creative People list.

SSI Releases New Data Portal On Beauty Supply Stores

At Cosmoprof in Las Vegas, Strategic Solutions International, Inc. (SSI) debuted a new data portal that provides hard-toobtain information on beauty supply stores.

The (K)NOW Now is a cloud-based subscription model loaded with information on African American and Hispanic hair care and total market hair care.

“It’s been a longstanding concern for the industry,” says SSI CEO, Romina Brown. “We were only able to report on ROI for retail chains. There was a huge gap in intelligence that had existed ever since the industry has been around. We wanted to illuminate and eliminate that blind spot.”

Information is obtained through customer surveys and with interviews with industry leaders. This allows the portal to remain

up-to-date on the breaking trends.

Brown, whose background is in marketing, sales and business development for the African American hair care category, has worked with brands such as ORS and Softsheen-Carson. The information the portal offers will be invaluable for many brands, she says.

“It’s so insightful. We saw a high level of differences. When you look at the leading brands and leading products, it tells you so much,” she says. “(The information) speaks to the type of consumer and the behavior of that consumer.”

Companies that are interested in the (K)NOW Now portal can reach out to SSI for customized access to the portal.

BIR Bits

A public opinion poll conceived and commissioned by LAVIDGE and Mosaic Multicultural found revealing consumer sentiments about advertising from personal care businesses, such as fitness clubs, salons, massage clinics, spas and beauty products. Among the key findings of the “2017 Southwest Personal Care Marketing Report” are that consumers prefer television and direct mail over other media and are influenced to make decisions when they see and hear the words “trustworthy,” “safe” and “honest” in advertising and marketing.

In addition, the statement, “Our staff is well-trained and knowledgeable” strongly resonated with consumers. The survey surprisingly revealed that consumers don’t prefer advertising messages that say, “You will feel younger.” The report is free and available at lavidge. com/industries/personal-care/2017-report

Manufacturer sales for the professional salon industry’s appliances category grew 4.5 percent in 2016, according to the new 2016 Profesional Salon & Pro Beauty Industry Appliances & Shears Study from Professional Consultants & Resources, the U. S. salon and professional beauty industry’s leading strategic consulting, market intelligence and data research company.

Some key findings and growth drivers influencing appliance sales during 2016 included important style trends including the continued demand for curling irons, along with sustained strength of flat irons, plus newer heat-control technologies introduced into the market. The study also reviews clipper/trimmer market leaders Andis, Wahl, Oster and Babyliss/Conair/Forfex and features an in-depth category report on pro shears.

More states are passing hair-stylist-only licenses. Arizona passed legislation to create a hair-stylist-only license, which can be completed with 1,000 hours of instruction. Utah passed a bill to create a hair designer license at 1,200 hours. New Mexico has passed legislation to create a hairstyling license at 1,200 hours.

ORSTM Olive Oil Hues Brings Vibrant News to Hair Color!

Namaste Laboratories, the makers of ORSTM Olive Oil products proudly introduces a NEW hair color that empowers women to color with confidence and without fear of breakage, dryness and dullness. Developed by expert chemists and cosmetologists, the NEW ORSTM Olive Oil Hues Vitamin & Oil Creme Color is an advanced formula that includes an optimal balance of rich color pigment and conditioning to eliminate hair color apprehensions.
