Welcome to another exciting edition of Beauty Biz, our Expo and Awards copy and my absolute favourite time of the year!

Yes, because we are heading down to the biggest 2 events in the Australian beauty calendar, but also because I get to have four glorious days in Sydney where I get to eat, sleep and be emmersed in my beloved industry with some of the most inspirational and wonderful friends and colleagues I am lucky to know!

Highlights for myself of course this year include the awards and the medical developments which are a key interest for me, but also just seeing what new and exciting things the industry has been working on: Sydney Expo has always been an occasion to showcase the next big thing for product companies and equipment suppliers alike!

This month in mag we are lucky enough to have some amazing new contributors including Stacey Ashley who is the Managing Director of Ashley Coaching & Consulting. Stacey’s article about generational gaps in salons certainly had me nodding and agreeing and I am sure we all see this in our salons. We have some great insights from Rita Porecca on the art of cosmetic tattooing and it is interesting to see where this side of the beauty industry is heading. I expect we will be seeing and hearing a lot more about this in the coming months including the push towards regulation in the industry.

I recently visited the Brisbane Hair and Beauty Expo which this year saw an amazing 34% increase in the number of attendees compared to 2015 and really did step up. Previously dominated by hair, there was a great mix this year and I am looking forward to bringing you some information and features of a few choice discoveries I made! Companies are certainly starting to think out of the box now to meet the beauty industry needs are becoming more and more completive for our business.

The Brisbane Expo and the Sydney Expo do have a strong common denominator in the fact that competition attendees and extended education attendees are increasing steadfastly. There were 179 nail competition entries in Brisbane this year with double that expected in Sydney which will be showcasing Nailympia yet again.

I look forward to seeing some of you at expo and the ABIA’s and can’t wait until the next edition to showcase our winners!

Enjoy!

Personalisation key to brand success The personalisation trend is one that pays off says leading market researcher Kline.

Speaking to Cosmetics Design, the company is adamant that brands who embrace the trend have seen boosted brand profits near immediately. Kline comments that in an analysis of beauty brands incorporating a personalised approach, “high double- to triple-digit growth is seen among those brands that manage to capitalise on personalised approaches in 2015.”

What started at a product level with skincare and make-up regimens catered to the individual has now advanced to a more digital level. Consumers now have this customised experience with product and brand suggestions in beauty apps, as well as targeted marketing through social media.

In addition to personalisation, the report also highlighted the benefit of using celebrities to help build relationships with consumers directly through social media. Kline comments: “Both large and niche brands utilise the power of social media to connect with target consumers. Large brands like Neutrogena, CLINIQUE or Estée Lauder have become key social influencers as they turned to beauty social media celebrities to appeal to millennials.”

INDUSTRY NEWS Cynosure Australia partners with FourTwelve Entertainment Cynosure Australia partners with FourTwelve Entertainment to launch a new six-part Australian cosmetic surgery series unveiling ‘transformed’ brides and grooms on their big day!

In the next chapter of quality branded content and multi-platform marketing, 412 and Cynosure will co-produce a six-part television series titled ‘Unveiled’ showcasing the latest in non-surgical treatment options available to the community through Cynosure’s large product portfolio.

Cynosure is the developer, innovator, and manufacturer of aesthetic laser and light-based technologies, giving clinics & cosmetic practices non-invasive cosmetic treatment options for their clients.

‘Unveiled’ is being picked up by NBC Universal, home of E! and Style. The series will be promoted and featured exclusively on Foxtel and Fetch TV in Australia and New Zealand in the first quarter of 2017. The prestigious and reputable Dr. Zacharia, from ‘Changing Faces’ will also be the consulting surgeon for our couples on ‘Unveiled’.

Hair Expo 2016 proves a success Australia’s hairdressing community have proven increasingly loyal fans of Hair Expo, with 2016 seeing the trade show record its most successful in years.

Event director Julia Erben says: “We’re delighted at the outcome of Hair Expo 2016. Our visitor numbers were up massively on last year, our exhibitor numbers were also much higher with the return of a number of big brands, and the overwhelming rebooking results for Sydney in 2017 are testimony to their successful experience”.

Visitor numbers jumped 37 per cent from last year, with exhibitor numbers mirroring similar interest stands increased 30 per cent in number. The event saw 500 hairdressers style on stage, with 2,000 working behind the scenes, and 1,500 models participating. Education sessions saw 3,300 tickets sold, with 16 sessions completely sold out. A further 3,700 guests were in attendance at one of the many evening galas.

She continues: “We’re delighted that the risk we took in relocating to Melbourne paid off so spectacularly. We’re looking forward to our brand new location at Sydney’s amazing new Convention Centre in 2017. But staging the event again in Melbourne in 2018 is definitely something that we’ll consider.”

Kardashian MUA launches beauty line + app

News of the line came from Instagram, where Bonelli posted a video of a cosmetics factory alongside the caption ‘jOYCEBONELLi™ COSMÉTIQUES’. Her plans were confirmed in a recent interview with Glamour where Bonelli let slip: “I’m coming out with my own products at the end of this year. It’s a huge empire that’s about to happen - the ball is starting to roll.

I also have an amazing app I’m working on as well as a book. The next five years are very busy.”

Working closely with the Kardashians - for whom she does make-up from 5am to early afternoon every day - seems to have inspired Bonelli’s plans for a business empire. “I don’t know a lot of makeup artists that make a million dollars a year either, without a product line,”

Famed for her love of extreme contouring, Joyce Bonelli has long been one of America’s most renowned make-up artists and a beloved member of the Kardashian glam squad. Soon Bonelli’s ability to transform faces will be available to the masses with the confirmation of her make-up line and app release.

INDUSTRY NEWS Inspiring women to be beautifully confident A national campaign inspiring women to celebrate their unique beauty and feel good about themselves, inside and out, launched on June 26.

In a bid to help women start a conversation about changing the way they think and feel about themselves, national beauty franchise Brazilian Beauty commenced a search for women who believed that beauty is more than a pretty face.

After receiving hundreds of entries from around Australia, six women aged 13-61, were selected after submitting inspirational videos explaining what beauty means to them.

Brazilian Beauty CEO and Founder Francesca Webster said that in an industry obsessed with superficial beauty, she wants to help change the way women view themselves.“We can’t change who we are, but we can change the way we think and feel.”

“The six women that have been brave enough to show us their inner beauty have also demonstrated the importance of loving yourself. To own your doubts and imperfections. And, be unapologetically you in a world constantly trying to make you someone else,” said Francesca.

“In a time where photoshopping is prevalent and women are feeling the pressure to be a superficial beauty, we’re hoping this campaign will really help women to stop, look in the mirror, and realise the beauty they have comes from within.”

Sun Safety products boom Despite it being the height of winter, high SPF remains a key consumer demand. A new report from NPD Group notes that the category of products containing SPF 30+ is growing at double the rate of those with lower than SPF 30.

An interest in sun safety is also pervading prestige products – those with a level of SPF present reached a $US1.4 billion spend by May 2016 – a figure that has jumped 7 per cent in the past two years.

NPD global beauty industry analyst Karen Grant says the results are a reflection of growing education on sun safety and the importance of SPF in daily beauty routines. “Sun care looks to be the next beauty growth area to emerge, as consumers move from a singular focus on correction to a broader focus on care. It’s one of the most important attributes that women look for in their beauty products. What is new is that we’ve seen high SPF’s growing.”

Grant believes this boom is the result of continuing interest in improving health and wellness: “From what they eat to what they put on their bodies, consumers are becoming more focused and wellversed in health and wellness. Consumers today are more proactive and less reactive when it comes to managing their wellbeing. This attitude also translates to the beauty consumer, whose emphasis today weighs less on fixing an issue, and more on preventing one from happening in the first place

Natural formulas fuel beauty sales

Make Up By Sarah Baxter Hair By Adam Isles - rokk ebony Photographer: Elizabeth Kinnaird Styling: Alex Dubois

Consumer thirst for natural ingredients has no end in sight says a new study from Mintel.

The concept of healthy, holistic living has infiltrated beauty sales, with food-inspired skincare taking a hold of the industry. A recent study from the company details that consumers are more likely to use or show interest in products containing vitamin C (85 per cent), fruit-based ingredients (78 per cent), oatmeal (78 per cent) and honey (76 per cent). A further 72 per cent of consumers are interested in products that contain probiotics.

Healthy lifestyles are also continuing to influence the beauty industry and its chosen ingredients. Mintel category manager Shannon Romanowski comments “The link between diet and skin is evident, and as consumers increasingly associate their lifestyle with their skin’s appearance, product formulations with added food-based ingredients and vitamins stand out among the competition.”

INDUSTRY NEWS Women desire new definition of beauty Consumers desire a more accurate representation of beauty in the media says a new study

by Dove. The Dove Global Beauty and Confidence Report saw 10,500 women and girls from 13 different countries interviewed on their opinions about themselves, as well as the way women are portrayed in the media.

Dove states the results reflect “women around the world desire a new beauty definition.” Low body confidence and appearance anxiety remains an ongoing issue – 69 per cent of women and 65 per cent of girls interviewed said they had anxiety about their appearance. Those interviewed attributed this directly to “increasing pressures from advertising and media to reach an unrealistic standard of beauty.” In addition, 71 per cent of women and 65 per cent of girls from the same group agree the media can “do a better job portraying women of diverse physical appearance, age, race, shape, and size.”

Dr Nancy Etcoff of Harvard Medical School helped to analyse the results, commenting that it is the responsibility of beauty companies to encourage a more realistic representation of beauty and its diversity among women.

Deb Farnworth-Wood, managing director of leading Australian medi-aesthetic franchise, Australian Skin Clinics, has been named as one of the Queensland finalists for the 2016 EY Entrepreneur of the Year award. The awards program recognises those who are building and leading successful, growing and dynamic businesses.

INDUSTRY NEWS Hipsters affect male grooming sector A penchant for facial hair has taken its toll on the male grooming sector, according to Euromonitor.

More specifically, the rise in popularity of ‘the hipster look’ of beards and moustaches has seen a decrease in spending on male shaving products.

The market research firm comments: “Beards have become more acceptable in the workplace and in casual settings, which has reduced the need for men’s shaving products. In 2015, men’s shaving declined by 1 per cent in current value terms, with men shaving less frequently - while the quality of men’s razors and blades has improved, meaning they do not need to be replaced as often.”

“Manufacturers are predicted to launch products that groom and style men’s facial hair over the forecast period, such as beard oils and moisturisers.”

Australia’s pledge to ban animal testing In a move that signifies growing discontent in animal testing, the Coalition has pledged to ban animal testing in beauty.

Assistant Minister for Health and Aged Care Ken Wyatt announced the ban would include the testing of finished cosmetic products on animals in Australia, as well as the testing of cosmetic ingredients, and the sale of products that have been tested on animals outside of the country.

He comments on the subject: “We no longer need to test cosmetics on animals and many countries, including the European Union, have banned the use of cosmetic ingredients tested on animals. I can’t see any reason why Australia shouldn’t follow suit which is why a Coalition government will legislate this change.”

The ban would not extend to responsible animal testing for medicinal clinical trials, medicinal drug development or medicinal studies. But Wyatt comments: “We acknowledge animal testing is essential in certain scientific contexts such as medicinal drug development but we want to make sure that it’s only used in ethically justifiable circumstances.”

Renae Leith-Manos takes on new gig

Make Up By Sarah Baxter Hair By Adam Isles - rokk ebony Photographer: Elizabeth Kinnaird Styling: Alex Dubois

Bondi Beauty founder Renae Leith-Manos is thrilled to announce she has been appointed on the board for Sugar

By Half – a national initiative aimed at reducing Australia’s average sugar consumption by half within five years.

Founded by the Australian cricket team’s doctor, Professor Peter Brukner, the movement involves nine prominent medical, legal and media strategists as well as media and social organisations and celebrities including Jamie Oliver, Peter Evans and Cathy Freeman.

“Over two thirds of Australian adults and a quarter of all children are overweight or obese, and research is showing the biggest culprit is sugar. Most of us are eating at least 25 teaspoons of sugar a day, and we should be having half of that,” says Leith-Manos.

“I am humbled to be part of this team of amazing researchers and medical people who want to reduce our consumption of sugar and improve our health. It even has a beauty benefit – research has shown eating less sugar can make you look significantly younger.”

In conjunction with the movement, a “Sugar Awareness” week will be launched on August 29

INTERNATIONAL BROW QUEEN

AMY JEAN

Brows have become the ‘must have’ treatment in 2016 with the emergence of brow bars and specialised services across the country. A million dollar industry, brows have never been so ‘on fleek’ with stylishly groomed eyebrows a must have services for salons across the country. One of the original brow artists who some may say started it all, is Amy Jean Linnedhan who started business on the Gold Coast, Qld.

Beauty Biz Year 9 Issue 4

Amy Jean Linnehan

Defined by her reputation for flawless results, Amy Jean has become an Internationally- recognised brow artist with a six month (and growing) waiting list.

Having taken Australia by storm with MicroStroke Brow Tattooing and Lash ElevateTM, there is a long waiting list for Amy Jean’s Forever LashTM eyeliner tattoo and Kiss me Lip-Tint Lip TattooTM treatments.

“Brow artistry and permanent makeup are the most powerful anti-ageing tools available,” says Amy Jean. “I’ve made it my life’s work to seek out the latest techniques from global beauty innovators – it’s such a wonderful gift to be able to help every client to look and feel her most beautiful.”

Alongside her six Australian Eye Couture boutiques, the immense popularity of Amy Jean’s glamorous pop-up salons in the world’s most exclusive luxury hotels (think the Plaza Athénée in Paris, Bulgari Hotel in Milan and the Plaza Hotel in New York) have cemented her status as ‘the brow magician’.

Amy Jean’s luxe range of high-quality eye cosmetics are produced in the United States and available in-salon and online. Due to the popularity of Lash ElevateTM, Amy Jean Eye Couture Lash ElevateTM Kits are now available in selected salons across Australia.

NEW EXCLUSIVE SALON

To honour her unrivalled success as Australia’s most celebrated brow and lash artist with a cult following among locals and Hollywood celebrities, Amy Jean is proud to announce the opening of her most exclusive salon to date: Amy Jean Privée.

Amy Jean Linnehan & Monique Deveny

Monique & Amy Jean - Brisbane Salon

The opulent new salon is the fifth and most luxurious in the Amy Jean Eye Couture staple, a private bespoke space exclusively for high profile and loyal clientele. “It perfectly reflects the Amy Jean brand ethos - feminine but oh so luxe” says Amy Jean who’s clients include supermodel Naomi Campbell, Dannii Minogue, Sophie Monk, Jessica Marais and Delta Goodrem.

“It’s not just about leaving with intricately hand-crafted brows and look-at-me lashes,” says Amy Jean. “Amy Jean Privée is a total escape into beauty heaven the moment you step inside.

With stunning views over Sydney’s leafy Hyde Park and St Mary’s Cathedral, the atmosphere exudes Manhattan-meets-Sydney modern elegance: white-on-white interiors off set by on-trend metallic accents, gold-dipped feathered artwork and plush velvet armchairs in soft teal. Furnished with hand-picked Jonathan Adler designer pieces, clients are invited to recline on a treatment bed draped in Hermès cashmere, sip on chilled French champagne or sample Amy Jean’s collection of hard-to-find European fragrances.

“Attention to detail, innovation and artistry is what underpins my international reputation and this luxurious space is a unique reflection of that. Clients leave with more than perfectly crafted brows–Amy Jean Privée makes it a discrete, indulgent pampering experience to be treasured.”

AMY JEAN’S SPECIALITIES Micro-stroke Feather touch Brow tattoo This semi-permanent technique transforms sparse brows into perfectly symmetrical arches. “Brows can be subtly coloured or completely remodelled because each brow strand is intricately etched by hand - the result is a true work of art,” says Amy Jean. Lasts for up to 2 years.

Forever lash eyeliner: the Fine detaIls Forever Lash EyelinerTM creates soft, subtle definition for eyes. Unlike traditional tattooing (in which ink is embedded in the skin), Amy Jean uses minute needles to weave the tattoo pigment in and around the lash bed. “It’s a simple way to instantly brighten the whites of the eyes and makes your peepers look larger,” says Amy Jean. Lasts for up to 10 years.

KIss me lip-tInt tattoo: the Fine detaIls Kylie Jenner lips are just a Lip-Tint Tattoo away. “It creates the illusion of a fuller, perfectly symmetrical pout without the need to inject foreign substances,” says Amy Jean. “If you want to turn back the clock to youthful, LipTint Tattoo is a total game-changer.”

Amy Jean Eye Couture Salons are in Sydney, Melbourne, AdelaIde, Gold Coast, BrIsbane, Perth, New York, ParIs, MIlan & Los Angeles. www.amyjean.com.au

SPECIALISING IN THE BEAUTY INDUSTRY AND MORE In 2012, E-Swin discovered that IRPL® technology could be used to effectively treat dry eye syndrome. The company decided to offer France Medical the distribution rights of this new equipment in Australia and New Zealand. After three years, France Medical became the main partner of E-Swin for both their beauty and eye care devices.

Strengthened with this experience, France Medical started to further develop the eye care market now offering a large range of ophthalmic equipment to optometrists and ophthalmologists from European suppliers.

WHAT’S NEW IN 2016?

In order to follow with this ongoing development, France Medical decided to renew its image with a new logo and a new website: “The first thing people keep in mind about a company is their logo. It was important for us to have a logo that was both dynamic and modern just like France Medical spirit. We are also working on a new website with more content and information that is about to be released within the next two months!” Aurelien Coursodon, Managing Director.

BRAND & BEAUTY INFLUENCERS

The voice of the customer has always been one of the most powerful concepts in marketing, and today’s social media platforms act as one giant megaphone for that voice.

In fact, social media has fundamentally changed the balance of power between customers and brands because it enables peer recommendations to play a much greater role in purchasing decisions.

According to various studies marketinginspired word-of-mouth generates more than twice the sales of paid advertising, and these customers have at least a 37% higher retention rate. Given the importance of peer recommendations and their amplification through social media, influencer marketing has become a widely discussed topic among marketers. This is especially true given the prevalence of influencers in the growing “millennial” and “mom” demographics.

22

Beauty Biz Year 9 Issue 4

Influencer marketing can be loosely defined as a form of marketing that identifies and targets individuals with influence over potential buyers.

In the past, brands may have focused on popular bloggers and celebrities but today there is a new wave of “everyday” consumers that can have just as large an impact.

WHAT IS A BRAND INFLUENCER?

Currently, when a brand identifies influencers, they often look at number of followers that identity has on social platforms. However, in his famous book “The Tipping Point” Malcolm Gladwell calls out mavens (as he calls influencers) as people who also have a lot of knowledge about a topic.

Influence isn’t just having a lot of followers.

It’s also driven by expertise and credibility on subject matter and the relationship between the influencer and his or her followers.

Instead of simply looking at followers, a better equation for brands to consider is the following: Influence = Audience Reach (# of followers) x Brand Affinity (expertise and credibility) x Strength of Relationship with Followers

TWO ENDS OF THE SPECTRUM

Platforms such as Instagram and YouTube have led to the rise of a new generation of influencers that have amassed huge followings on niche subject matters such as fashion, beauty, and

food. One such example is Michelle Phan who started a series of YouTube videos featuring simple make-up demonstrations and tutorials.

Overtime, she has amassed over 8 million followers. More important than her follower count is the personal brand she has been able to build.

Michelle Phan has become a cosmetics authority that many consumers have come to trust…to the point that L’Oreal actually co-branded a cosmetic line with her.

BLOGS VS INSTAGRAM

Then there’s the bloggers who have the luxury of being able to be a little more in depth about the products they are reviewing or endorsing and don’t necessarily rely on a one-pic-wonder knowing that their followers want to know more about an individual product than can be seen on a simple Instagram pic.

TOP AUSTRALIAN BEAUTY INFLUENCERS

TEMPLE OF BEAUTY

The decision to become a beauty therapist for Chrissy Schulz, owner of Temple of Beauty in Broadbeach was literally an overnight one. “ Whilst in Year 12 I didn’t know what I wanted to do after graduating, and one day I honestly woke up and thought I want to be a beauty therapist’ explains Chrissy. That was a lifelong decision for the Gold Coast local who would see her business go from strength to strength and become one of the most iconic salons in the area.

Temple of Beauty is a multi award winning salon encompassing beauty treatments, injectables and cosmetic tattooing.

Established on the Gold Coast over 14 years ago, Temple of Beauty offer fully qualified nurse services, dermal treatments and experienced cosmetic tattooing. Previously based inside of Jupiters Casino, Chrissy took over the reigns independently 11 years ago after previously working there as a sub contractor. The salon was one of the first in the area to introduce lash extensions and cosmetic tattooing some 10 years ago with Chrissy attracting a huge client base in both of these areas.

The salon has recently located to the Phoenician Resort in Broadbeach amidst major refurbishment for Jupiters Casino and sits off Surf Parade, the restaurant and social capital of the Gold Coast which attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors a year. The luxurious, indulgent salon is a world away from the hectic, noisy Gold Coast city life: The relaxing treatment rooms are a haven of flickering candles, cosy fur blankets and aromatherapy oils with Chrissy’s love for pink and all things that glitter extended to her salon!

24

Beauty Biz Year 9 Issue 4

“I always had this vision that Temple of Beauty would become a location where my clients could receive every service from the basic and relaxing pedicure, right through to beautiful dermal fillers and tattooing.”

3 years ago Chrissy made the decision to fulfil a life long dream of hers and train to be an injectable nurse. Studying full time and running a successful salon along with hospital placements, exams and coursework did not perturb her and in March 2015 she registered as an Endorsed Enrolled Nurse. She then went on to train with leading cosmetic physical Dr Albert Ho in Perth in cosmetic injectables and has followed this

up with extensive mentoring with Dr Ho and courses with the leading cosmetic injectable companies, Galderma and Allergan. Recently attending Cosmetec to extend her already wide experience, Chrissy is excited about attending upcoming conferences which include locations in Singapore and Las Vegas, whilst building her strong injectable client base from her Broadbeach salon.

The salon also recently introduced microblading to its menu. “As the name suggests, microblading uses a very small blade to deposit pigment under the skin, giving the appearance of hair.

It can be used by those who want to toss their eyebrow pencil, or it can be used in more extreme cases such as for patients with hair loss” Chrissy explains. Always ahead of the trend, the treatment has proven hugely popular at the salon. “I always had this vision that Temple of Beauty would become a location where my clients could receive every service from the basic and relaxing pedicure, right through to beautiful dermal fillers and tattooing.. I feel we have been able to achieve this, but of course I will always be looking out for the next big think to come..”..

Australians continue to spend significant amounts on perfecting their personal appearance with non-invasive cosmetic procedures representing one of the highest growth areas in the pursuit to defy ageing.

EDUCATION

EVENTS

The second annual Brisbane Hair and Beauty Expo has come to a close, and with over 5,000 visitors through the doors across the two days, this event has certainly made its mark on the industry.

Held on Sunday 17th & Monday 18th July 2016 at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre, the event saw visitors travel from near and far including regional Queensland, Darwin, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, New Zealand and even the Philippines, and were met with another jam-packed event.

The Expo attracted a broad list of leading industry experts and educators, including Rae Morris, Mia Connor, Jazz Pampling, Joy Crossingham, Andrea Taylor, Julie Piantadosi and more as part of its Extended Education Program, which saw 368 people learn valuable techniques, skills and information across a variety of topics.

In addition to up close and personal presentations on the Mocha Publishing Spotlight Stage, the event’s Centre Stage proved to be a major highlight, drawing massive crowds over the two days. The Centre Stage line-up included a headline appearance by world renowned makeup artist Rae Morris, who provided attendees with a valuable opportunity to soak up her wisdom in her presentation on “Eyeliner for Every Eye Shape”.

Another stand-out Centre Stage presentation was delivered by Andrea Taylor from Mediterranean Tan who took spray tanning to a whole new level with an appearance from Miss Universe Australia

Monika Radulovic on “Bridal, Glamour and Body Building”.

The buzz in the Expo Hall continued to the Emendee Nail Competition where competitors put their skills to the test across five categories live on the Expo floor, in addition to four incredible photographic and flat-nail art entries on display wowing judges and spectators alike.

With over 79 brands on show over 112 sites, the Expo featured a range of quality industry brands and suppliers, with deals and special offers galore. Just some of the many brands on show at the event included INGLOT Cosmetics, Crown Brush Australia, Designer Makeup Tools, Emendee, Solaire, Beaute Internationale, Girlee Cosmetics, TechnoTan, MODELROCK Lashes, Silk Oil of Morocco, plus many more.

During the event, Expo Founder and Manager Jason Greenhalgh announced the organiser’s expansion plans for the 2017 Brisbane Hair and Beauty Expo and beyond.

“The response to the 2016 Brisbane Hair and Beauty Expo by attendees and exhibitors alike was extraordinary, and we are thrilled to see such growth since the event’s inception just 2 years ago.

“The 2016 Expo floor space was completely sold out, with all exhibitor sites secured well over one month prior to the event. With this demand, we were thrilled to have 50% more exhibitors at the event in comparison to 2015, which reflected the 34% increase in attendees across the two days.

“As Queensland’s premier hair and beauty event, we have some exciting plans for 2017, including expanding our floor space from 5,000m2 to 7,500m2 - increasing the area available to exhibitors by half.

“We anticipate that this expansion will encourage even more industry members to make the Brisbane Hair and Beauty Expo a priority to attend, and we look forward to offering them more than ever before in 2017.

“I would like to thank our Major Sponsors for 2016 - Affinage Professional, Emendee, MIG Training, Mocha Publishing and NEXT Hotel Brisbane, our exhibitors, guest speakers and all those who attended the event.”

DERMAL Dermal Development in

SKIN CELLS

Scientists at IMBA -- Institute of Molecular Biotechnology of the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna have made a major advancement towards a future therapy for butterfly children. A treatment with fibroblasts generated from induced pluripotent stem cells has been highly successful in mice. The next step is to establish this method in humans.

“Butterfly children” suffer from Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), a debilitating skin disease. It is caused by a genetic defect that leads to a deficiency or complete lack of various structural proteins. In one particularly severe form, the protein collagen 7 is either missing or present only in insufficient amounts. If that bond is missing, the skin forms blisters or tears at the slightest mechanical pressure, leading to wounds and inflammation that require extensive treatment with creams and bandages. Often these constant lesions also lead to aggressive forms of skin cancer.

Presently there is no cure for this disease. But there are promising approaches that could lead to successful treatments in the future. One of them is a method called “fibroblast injection.” In this procedure, fibroblasts are injected between the layers of the skin, where they can produce the necessary collagen 7.

Researchers at IMBA under the leadership of Arabella Meixner have now been successful in developing this method to treat mice affected

by EB. The individual steps of this treatment have been worked out and carefully tested in many years of laboratory work, and the results have now been published in the scientific journal “Science Translational Medicine.”

First the scientists returned skin cells of the diseased mice to the stem cell stage and then repaired the genetic defect, the root cause of the disease. Then the researchers transformed stem cells back into fibroblasts.

Before the repaired fibroblasts could be reintroduced into the organism, measures to prevent inflammation or rejection were necessary.

In this study the researchers conducted a type of “toxicity test,” and the results were very promising. After several months of observation, no adverse immune reactions occurred, and the risk of skin cancer did not increase. That is an important consideration because “butterfly children” already have a greatly increased risk of skin cancer.

32

Beauty Biz Year 9 Issue 4

But the greatest success of the researchers was the significantly increased tear resistance of the skin. Arabella Meixner, research lead, is delighted at the good results: “Our mechanical stress test with a soft eraser brush demonstrated that the skin of the mice treated with the stem cell therapy remained stable, and that no more wounds occurred. That means there was enough collagen 7 between the skin cells to hold them together properly. Our study clearly showed that this method is suitable for a future therapy for “butterfly children.”

The next step is to establish this skin stem cell treatment in humans. To achieve that, the IMBA scientists intend to look for partners with clinical experience. For severe forms of Epidermolysis Bullosa, a systemic application needs to be developed to spread the cells throughout the entire body via the bloodstream to reach epithelial tissues that are more difficult to access, for example the mucous membranes in the mouth or bowels. Often in “butterfly children” with milder forms of the disease, only certain areas of the skin are affected. The skin stem cell therapy with local injections successfully tested on mice could lead to a valuable treatment method in the very near future

ABOUT IMBA - Our common vision We, the scientists at IMBA, aim to perform groundbreaking research. We are eager to open new areas for research and approach unsettled issues in biology. New insights and new knowledge should fundamentally change our scientific thinking and our environment.

However, science is not made for scientists alone. Hence, a significant part of our vision consists of a substantial contribution to future medicine by the development of more efficient treatment methods to improve the quality of life for all mankind.

We aim to achieve our vision and maintain a focus on excellent research, by recruiting only the brightest minds for this challenge and by providing our researchers with all opportunities to be successful.

DERMAL The Beauty of

By Nicole O’Sullivan

Beauty Biz Year 9 Issue 4

The human body is unable to synthesise vitamins at all or only in insignificant amounts.

So we eat a healthy diet full of vitamins and minerals and/or supplement our diets with multi vitamins to fulfil our bodies needs.

Well that’s great but what about the needs of our skin “the body delivers only a certain percentage of vitamins to your skin, no matter how much you ingest” says Mary Lupo, MD, Clinical Professor of Dermatology at Tulane University School of Medicine. To deliver the maximum anti – ageing benefits we need to apply skin loving Vitamins in appropriate concentrations topically to our skin.

Vitamin C cream for six months saw significant improvement in fine lines and wrinkles. Studies have also shown that Vitamin C reduces the production of melanin and prevents oxidation of melanin and so will reduce pigmentation – lightening the skin. Vitamin C containing products should be used in the morning and with products that also contain Vitamin E as using both of these together will increase the antioxidant activity of the product four times.

So lets have a look at the Vitamins that pack the biggest anti – ageing punch.

VITAMIN E

VITAMIN A

A fat soluble vitamin, it and its derivatives are used in skincare for its rejuvenating properties.

Vitamin A normalises keratinisation by regulating skin cell growth and differentiation. It improves collagen density, improves skin elasticity, tone and texture, reducing lines and wrinkles while smoothing the skin. There have been many studies on Vitamin A and its derivatives, it has been tried and tested and anyone who wants younger looking skin should use a product containing one. These products should be used at night as sunlight inactivates most forms of Vitamin A. Prescriptive retanoids work best but are irritating causing redness, scaling and flaking that can last for weeks so it is best to start with an over the counter product with a lower dose.

VITAMIN C

A water soluble vitamin and powerful antioxidant necessary for collagen synthesis. As we age collagen production slows down so supplementing our skin with an active form of Vitamin C at an adequate level will improve elasticity and reduce wrinkles. Vitamin C has also been shown to neutralise UV induced free radicals and in one study women who treated sun damage with a

Renown for its potent anti – oxidant activity VE is also an excellent moisturising and rejuvenating ingredient that protects and heals. Studies have shown VE reduces UV-induced cellular damage with clinical improvement in the visible signs of skin ageing documented with a significant reduction in wrinkle formation. Look for products that combine VE with VA as VE has a sparing effect on VA increasing the storage of VA when applied topically.

VITAMIN B3

Niacinamide, niacin or nicotinic acid is a very stable water soluble vitamin that increases levels of ceremides and fatty acids, both very important components of the protective outer layer of the skin - strengthening the skins outer layer keeps moisture in and irritants out. The study showed 2% of VB3 to be more effective than Vaseline for reducing water loss and increasing the hydration of the skin. In another study a cream using 5% of VB3 for a period of 12 weeks showed there was an improvement in the appearance of wrinkles, skin discolourations, redness and sallowness while improving elasticity. Used at a level of 4% VB3 has an anti-inflammatory action on acne with studies showing it to perform as well as prescriptive medicine clindamycin but without the risk of antibiotic resistance. Shown to improve

flushing/blushing of rosacea and inhibits the transfer of pigment to skin cells thus minimising pigmentation. As with all of the mentioned vitamins make sure it is listed towards the centre of the ingredient listing and not the end.

PROVITAMIN B5

Or D- panthenol has been used for years in hair care products namely due to its humectant (water attracting) activity improving the elasticity of hair.

D- panthenol is inactive but readily converts to pantothenic acid in the skin. In skincare it is used for its moisturising, regenerating and softening effect.

VITAMIN K

Has been shown to be effective in lightening under eye circles. Fragile capillaries allow blood to seep into the skin under the eyes and VK’s stops seepage by controlling blood clotting.

Studies using a product with a combination of VA and VK resulted in significant lightening of dark circles after a period of four months, it was however not clear whether it was the VK alone responsible for the effect or the VA - so look for a product that contains a combination of both of these ingredients.

If you want to provide your skin with the nutrients it needs to fight free radical damage, increase collagen production and keep your skin healthy, strong and hydrated you need to use skincare products that contain high levels and active forms of these Vitamins while of course maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle.

The protein is at a concentration of about 1,500ng per pot. A pot contains approximately 60 applications, each one of which will deliver approx 25ng of enriching protein.

GcMAF simply activates the macrophages that are ever present, but which generally are not active until they get the chemical signal to do so.

This signal is given by GcMAF, in the same way as your car will not work unless the key is used.

GcMAF is generally made in a healthy body as a result of enzymes interacting with the gcprotein that is made in the liver. These enzymes are released by dying T and B cells, so kind of an SOS / emergency call. The enzymes transform 36

gcprotein, which is abundant in the body, to GcMAF, a much rarer form of the protein. The macrophages recognise this protein as a sign that there is an infection somewhere, and step up to become active. In this activated condition, they can consume 15 times more than in the unactivated condition.

Once a macrophage has engulfed a pathogen, it antigen presents. This entails it putting small parts of the pathogen out for T and B cells to pick up. These cells then recognise the pathogen too. So by activating macrophages, this sets off an immune cascade, which brings the whole immune system to the fight.

GcMAF is both an immune stimulant and an immune regulator. Thus it can be used to increase an immune response, such as for chronic infections and also in cancer treatment, but it can also be used in autoimmune ailments,

due to its ability to turn off macrophages (apoptosis) when no longer needed at the site of any infection.

The cream is a very potent product and for those with chronic, long standing ailments such as Lyme disease, CFS, autism etc, it will take a while for the long standing damage to the immunity to be reversed. It is very important to start at a low dose and the original cream can be used in very small amounts. GcMAF activates macrophages and they will search and destroy pathogens in no particular order.

Perspective On

PETROCHEMICALS IN COSMETICS

By Andrew Christie

Nothing is more competitive in cosmetic chemistry than the development of the newest and latest super ingredient to use as a potential active, filler, binder, carrier or preservative.

This quest however often incorporates dirty tactics, casting shade on many common ingredients. What often results is consumer misinformation, creating controversy for many common ingredients. Nothing seems truer than the untruths often associated with petrochemical by-products such as petrolatum and mineral oil.

PETROLATUM

(Petroleum Jelly, Soft Paraffin, Paraffin Jelly, White Petrolatum) Petrolatum is a refined and highly distilled by-product of crude oil with the patent for its creation made in 1872. Petroleum or crude oil is formed by a combination of hydrocarbons and liquid organic compounds that are found beneath the earth’s surface.

Petroleum / crude oil is formed when large quantities of dead organisms (including zooplankton and algae) become buried beneath sedimentary rock and undergo intense heat and pressure.

Petrolatum is a mixture of hydrocarbons and is a semi-solid, translucent gel made up of mineral oils, paraffin and microcrystalline waxes. Pharmaceutical grade petrolatum (White Petrolatum) is characterised by its colourless appearance versus lower grade forms which are more yellow in hue including Yellow, Amber and Brown Petrolatum.

Pharmaceutical grade petrolatum also has no taste and is easily dispersed in other oils.

Petrolatum is hydrophobic (water-repelling), insoluble in water and does not oxidise when exposed to air. Pharmaceutical grade petrolatum is non-toxic to human skin and at such a refined grade is non-carcinogenic . The percentage of petrolatum used in cosmetic formulae typically varies from 5-20% with higher percentages used in highly emollient products such as lip balms. Petrolatum may safely be used at a 100% concentration (Vaseline Jelly).

Since its discovery, petrolatum has been used cosmetically as a film forming, skin protectant to prevent moisture loss and to seal cuts or burns. Petrolatum is also claimed to reduce inflammation and to hasten skin healing . Non38

Beauty Biz Year 9 Issue 4

pharmaceutical grades of petrolatum have even been used as effective broad-spectrum sunscreens . UV filtering is still used to this day to grade the various types available. As petrolatum is hydrophobic, it does not offer the water-binding qualities of other such emollients including glycerine or lanolin.

any relationship to any other by-products.

The original source however is still a naturally occurring. Penicillin for example, is derived from mouldy bread, however eating mouldy bread will not provide the same effects as a shot of penicillin. Vice versa, a shot of penicillin will not have the same effect as eating mouldy bread.

PETROL:

Paraffin waxes, mineral oil and more than 80% of mass market perfumes are all by-products of crude oil distillation.

Whilst petrolatum is sourced from crude oil / petroleum which also is the source for the production of gasoline (petrol) and kerosene, the distillation and refining process required to create petrolatum almost completely separates

CANCER:

There is a common misconception by ingredient

purists that impurities found in the manufacturing process of petrolatum may be carcinogenic and may be linked to breast cancer. Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are common contaminants found in unrefined petrolatum.

PAHs naturally occur in crude oil, coal and tar deposits and are produced as a by-product of a natural chemical conversion or when fuel is burnt.

Some PAH compounds have been identified as carcinogenic, mutagenic and teratogenic . PAHs are also commonly found in any cooked meat (barbequed meat, smoked smallgoods) and cooking oils (including coconut oil).

manufacturers including Unilever, Johnson & Johnson, Estee Lauder Corp and L’Oreal Group.

According to the International Programme On Chemical Safety, the highly refined white petrolatum used in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics does not contain PAHs and therefore is not a carcinogen “if the full refining history is known and it can be shown that the substance from which it is produced is not a carcinogen ”.

The IPCS also claims that less refined grades of petrolatum (Yellow, Amber or Brown) which are used industrially may contain PAHs .

Petrolatum is actually classed as a 0 in comedogenicity ratings, with a 0 rating indicating that it cannot clog pores and 5 rating indicating a high clogging potential. More ‘natural’ ingredients including Cocoa Butter, Coconut Oil and Wheat Germ Oil all rate between a 4 and 5. Based on clinical tests performed with 100% Petrolatum and a 30% petrolatum concentration Albert Kligman concluded in 1996 that despite previous thought, “Petrolatum is not comedogenic in rabbits or humans ”. Kligman further concluded that the greasiness of petrolatum cannot be equated with comedogenicity and that its application in fact reduced the case of papulopustules (acne) on test subjects .

The argument made by cosmetic ingredient purists question how can one determine if the petrolatum used in a cosmetic product is guaranteed pure White Petrolatum or a possibly contaminated lower grade? Whilst the American Food And Drug Administration (FDA) enforces PHA purity standards for the use of petrolatum in food products, this is often misunderstood by some that the purity and concentration in personal care products are not as limited or regulated. Purists argue that consumers are therefore unaware if the petrolatum contained in a lip balm (that could potentially be ingested) may be the same industrial grade as the potentially PAH-laden petrolatum found in shoe-polish.

Based on revised standards by both the FDA and the EU in 2004, the grade of petrolatum for cosmetic use is regulated and certified as USP (United States Pharmacopeia), BP (British Pharmacopoeia), or Ph. Eur. (European Pharmacopoeia). This ensures that the petrolatum is uncontaminated and safe White Petrolatum. All cosmetic products produced within the EU cannot use petrolatum unless its full refining history is known and can be shown that it does not contain any carcinogens . This ensures that only the most refined White Petrolatum is used and does not create any health risk or skin irritation. Both the FDA and EU regularly conduct independent quality control checks to ensure product purity.

Despite claims by ingredient fanatics, the EU has not banned the use of petrolatum in cosmetic products, it has only banned the use of inferior quality grades that do not meet cosmetic or food grade standards. Likewise, the 2004 revised standards by both the FDA and EU do not imply that low-quality grades of petrolatum have been used in the past, they were revised to prevent the flooding of potentially inferior and cheaper product from newly commerciallycompetitive former Eastern-Bloc nations hitting the international market without appropriate quality control.

According to the Environmental Working Group, Petrolatum may be found in more than 7.1% of the world’s cosmetic products. White petrolatum has been safely used as a topical skin protectant since its patenting in 1872 and continues use by many of the world’s largest personal care

COMEDOGENICITY:

Petrolatum forms a film on the skin’s surface and can effortlessly restore barrier function by permeating throughout the stratum corneum even with its occlusive properties. It is claimed because petrolatum creates a greasier feel on the skin when compared to other emollients, it therefore increases the potential for pores to become clogged and to increase overall comedogenicity.

source of global warming - this claim has not been proven. By comparison the petro-chemicals used in the cosmetics industry are miniscule when compared to those used in transport or machinery.

CANCER:

Due to its relation to petrolatum, there is similarly a common misconception by ingredient purists that PAHs found in the manufacturing process of unrefined petrolatum may also be found in mineral oil, creating a potential for carcinogens and cancer. The same comments to petrolatum apply to mineral oil. Only USP (United States Pharmacopeia), BP (British Pharmacopoeia), or Ph. Eur. (European Pharmacopoeia ) certified and regulated mineral oil is used in the manufacture of cosmetics.

COMEDOGENICITY:

Similarly to petrolatum, mineral oil also forms a film on the skin’s surface and can effortlessly restore barrier function by permeating throughout the stratum corneum. Mineral oil remains a liquid when applied to the skin and therefore cannot clog pores, despite its greasy texture.

MINERAL OIL

Cosmetic Grade mineral oil is classed as a 0 rating in comedogenicity scales, with a 0 rating indicating that it cannot clog pores and 5 rating indicating a high clogging potential . The same findings by Kligman regarding petrolatum may be applied to mineral oil; it is non-comedogenic and may be safely used by acneic skins.

Closely related to petrolatum, mineral oil is a by-product of distilled crude oil. Mineral oil itself is made from a combination of hydrocarbons and paraffins . Refined Mineral White Oil is the highest grade of mineral oil available and is classed for both a medicinal and cosmetic purposes - these are the forms used for cosmetic products and may also be taken systemically as a laxative. There is also a food grade mineral oil available that is commonly used to lubricate baking trays or create a shine on fruit. Despite the common reference as Liquid Paraffin, there is no connection between mineral oil and the paraffin used to power paraffin heaters – they are entirely different chemicals.

Paris based, Andrew R. Christie is the Managing Director of Lipservice Consulting, world experts in technical writing and training manual content for the medical and clinical aesthetics market. An industry specialist with over 19 years experience, Andrew’s academic background is health science and chemistry.

(White Oil, Liquid Paraffin, Light Liquid Paraffin)

Mineral oils and paraffin waxes form the basis of petrolatum. Mineral oil is extracted via further intensive refining.

The versatility of mineral oil on the skin is due to its stability and extremely low sensitising potential, plant oils have been shown to decompose faster than mineral oil and therefore require higher concentrations of preservatives. Mineral oil and petrolatum are considered the safest and most non-irritating moisturising ingredients ever found . Mineral oil may safely be used on the skin at a 100% concentration. This is the case with what is commonly referred to as Baby Oil.

PETROL:

As with petrolatum, mineral oil is a refined byproduct from crude oil / petroleum (the same source for the production of gasoline /petrol and kerosene). The distillation and refining process required to create mineral oil almost completely separates any relationship to any other byproducts, the original source however is still a naturally occurring. Petro-chemicals (including mineral oil and petrolatum) are often perceived negatively as they are based on non-renewable resources (unlike botanically sourced emollients) and are claimed by extremists to be one major

Few things are as inevitable as gravity’s toll on your skin. One day, all of a sudden, reality stares you square in the face. You might initially think it’s because you did not sleep well the previous night, but eventually you admit that an afternoon nap is not going to solve this issue. It’s a bona fide eyebrow droop!

Non-surgical methods to treat laxity of the face and neck are among the most soughtafter solutions in aesthetic medicine.

Ultherapy may be optimal for surgical candidates who are unwilling or unable to undergo facial surgery or for those candidates who wish to postpone surgery.

The beauty of Ultherapy is that there is no downtime. There is no swelling, bruising or crusting and patients can return to work the same day. It’s aptly called the “lunchtime lift.” Ultherapy uses ultrasound heat to set collagen production into overdrive deep below the skin’s surface. As it kicks in, the brow firms, the jaw line becomes well defined and the neck lifts. It’s a lunchtime lift without any surgery. Even more alluring is that Ultherapy provides an immediate smoothing effect. And since the collagen continues to grow, results actually improve over the course of a few months. More than 90 percent of patients notice improvement in tone, texture and some tightening within a few weeks, and are even more excited with the results after three to six months, when the deep wrinkles become fine lines and eyes appear more open.

The duration of response after a single treatment is estimated to last about 1.5 years. The ideal candidate is someone between 35 and 60 with early signs of laxity.

These patients see results within three to six months with a single treatment. Patients over the age of 60 may require a second treatment in six months. Many patients are looking to stay competitive in the workforce, which they believe is tied to their appearance. Whether improving their appearance to look more vibrant or for the associated confidence boost, people perceive this to be important and they come into my office looking for help.

STAND FIRM IN THE FACE OF GRAVITY Ultherapy has been extensively publicised in the media as a safe and effective procedure for lifting and tightening of the skin. You may have seen Ultherapy through Dr. Oz, Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar or other fashion magazines. Once it was

featured on the larger talk shows, the floodgates opened and our phones were ringing off the hook.

Be aware that every procedure has risks and side effects if not done properly. With Ultherapy, the heat from the procedure could make you wince, and transient numbness along the jaw line is possible, though temporary. It is, therefore, important to locate an experienced physician to perform the procedure.

Ultherapy offers a distinct advantage over other non-surgical alternatives.

Most non-surgical, energy-based devices currently on the market treat only the skin’s surface.

Ultherapy goes deeper, providing a different dimension to rejuvenation; depositing energy at very precise depths because it sees and treats at the same time. Treatments can also be individualised according to each patient’s concern. Because the effects occur below the surface, treating specific facial areas individually is certainly possible with Ultherapy. However, most patients select full-face treatments as the best option for a more uniform result.

Australians taking risks with

AT-HOME COSMETIC TREATMENTS The latest finding from the Cosmetic Physicians College of Australasia (CPCA) annual survey has found that one in ten Australians (10 per cent) admit to having non-surgical cosmetic treatments performed in a home environment, rather than at a doctor’s clinic(1) - almost double the number compared with the 2015 survey.

The survey, which has been monitoring Australians’ attitudes to non-invasive cosmetic medicine for the past nine years, found that whilst the number of home treatments had risen, 87 per cent of those who had received non-surgical cosmetic treatments had visited a doctor with a focus on cosmetic treatment or visited a beauty salon for treatment.

Dr Catherine Porter, spokesperson for the CPCA said “It’s alarming and surprising to see the rising number of Australian consumers who are having non-surgical cosmetic treatments performed in a home setting. We are seeing a huge increase in consumers wanting injectables, laser treatments, microdermabrasion, all of which, unfortunately, are becoming more frequently administered in unsafe environments. The risk to patients of infection, or worse, through visiting unaccredited practitioners is incredibly high – and that’s why the recent warning by NSW Health is so timely.

What our most recent survey highlights is that this problem is likely to be nationwide.”

“It’s alarming and surprising to see the rising number of Australian consumers who are having nonsurgical cosmetic treatments performed in a home setting.”

Beauty Biz Year 9 Issue 4

Last week, NSW Health warned that people who have had cosmetic treatments in unregulated, unlicensed premises are putting themselves at risk of blood-borne viruses such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV. The majority of cosmetic medical procedures should only be carried out by a registered medical practitioner, a nurse practitioner, or a registered nurse under a doctor’s supervision. All injectables - muscle relaxants and dermal fillers - are ‘S4 medications’, which means they must be prescribed and administered by a qualified medical practitioner or a nurse under a doctor’s supervision.

“When you see a registered practitioner, you know you are receiving care from someone who is not only appropriately trained, appropriately insured, and held to account to national standards, but someone who sources their products from legitimate suppliers. If you see someone who is not registered, they’ve more than likely illegally imported the medication via the Internet, or other means. These products are not TGA-approved so you will have no idea what is actually being injected,” Dr Porter said.

The CPCA said that the dramatic rise of in-home treatments was driven, in part, by the advent of hand held lasers for hair removal and skin improvement.

“It is highly advisable that you consult a doctor before opting for these home devices. These hand-held devices are less effective and cover less skin area than doctors’ lasers. If you decide to treat yourself, it is imperative that you follow the instructions to the letter because overtreating the same area can cause welts, blisters or scars. For treatments of conditions like serious acne scarring, you should always seek treatment from a doctor who has a focus on cosmetic medicine.”

The CPCA represents the largest body of doctors who perform non- or minimallyinvasive cosmetic medical treatments in Australia. www.cpca.net.au.

Now approved and available in Australia, Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA), made by Merz Pharmaceuticals, was approved by the US FDA for the treatment of adults with cervical dystonia or blepharospasm and Moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows.

IncobotulinumtoxinA is made from the bacteria that causes botulism. Botulinum toxin blocks nerve activity in the muscles, causing a temporary reduction in muscle activity.

Xeomin has now been approved for some cosmetic indications – Moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows. Similiar to other drugs in this category, including Botox and Dysport, that also have TGA approval for the treatment of facial wrinkles.

Now that Xeomin is available and TGA approved, doctors can use it both on-label and off-label to treat the same facial lines treated by Botox and Dysport, including frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead wrinkles.

just botulinum toxin type A. This may mean that there is less risk of developing antibodies against Xeomin than other available neurotoxins. The body develops antibodies in response to a foreign invader and attacks. In theory, antibodies could prevent a neurotoxin from having its desired effects. The effects of Xeomin occur within one week, and the results last from three to six months, making it comparable to other brands in terms of both onset and duration of action.

Xeomin should not be used interchangeably with other botulinum products.

Worldwide, more than 84,000 people have been treated with Xeomin injections. The U.S. is actually the 20th country to approve this new drug. It is available in 50-unit and 100-unit vials.

WHAT ARE THE RISKS?

BETTER OR WORSE THAN OTHER ANTI-WRINKLE TREATMENTS?

Xeomin is the first one that does not need to be refrigerated before use, which may simplify distribution. Xeomin is also has no additives, 46

Beauty Biz Year 9 Issue 4

There is a risk that all botulinum toxin products may spread from the area where they were injected to other parts of the body, causing potentially lifethreatening swallowing and breathing problems.

This was predominantly seen in children treated with Botox off-label for cerebral palsy. These issues have not been reported among people who received botulinum products for cosmetic uses or to treat blepharospasm.

Other risks may include bleeding and bruising at the injection site and allergic reactions such as itching, swelling or shortness of breath. Your doctor should discuss all the potential risks of this procedure with you during your consultation.

When Xeomin is used to treat cervical dystonia, side effects include neck pain, muscle weakness, injection site pain and musculoskeletal pain.

When used to treat blepharospasm, the most common side effects of Xeomin were eyelid sagging, dry eye, dry mouth, diarrhea, headache, visual impairment, shortness of breath (dyspnea), and upper respiratory infections.

HOW MUCH DOES XEOMIN COST?

Xeomin costs will likely be comparable to other brands if not slightly lower. If your doctor or nurse suggests Xeomin, make sure to get accurate pricing information before booking your appointment. www.merz.com

The Rapid Rise of the

MEDICAL TATTOO

Thousands of women and men are increasingly embracing medical tattoos to help restore their self-confidence and improve their appearance after overcoming cancer or severe burns, managing alopecia or tackling baldness, according to one of Australia’s Leading Cosmetic Tattooist’s Rita Porreca, Founder and Managing Director of the Sydney Permanent Make-Up Centre (www.spmuc.com.au) Pioneering one of Sydney’s first cosmetic tattoo clinics and working with over 10,000 clients from all Australia since opening in1991, Rita has today become a highlysought-after expert in certified medical tattooing.

Rita reports a 50 percent increase in the medical tattooing bookings over the past two years, which she attributes to growing awareness of the lasting, realistic looking results that her techniques can achieve for many men and women affected by cancer or other medical conditions affecting their appearance.

“Doctors and cosmetic surgeons will regularly refer their patients to see me once they have the all clear after, for example, finishing chemotherapy treatment for cancer. Patients come to us feeling self-conscious after eyebrow or hair loss, and leave feeling amazing again.

“For breast cancer survivors, we can help them thanks to areola re-pigmentation work six to 12 weeks after reconstructive surgery,” explains Rita.

The Sydney Permanent Make-up Centre is also expert in tattooing both women and men via: • Corrective camouflage tattooing, which can help bring back the natural skin colour back to scars or burns in areas such as lips, eyelids, feet or limbs.

• Cosmetic tattooing of eyebrows lost from autoimmune disease alopecia. Rita shapes the client’s eyebrows with a pencil first before we implant custom-blended colour of your choice – with over 54 colours available at SPMUC. The brows and eyes will be 48

Taking Dermal Therapy to

DEGREE LEVEL

A Bachelor of Health Science – Dermal Therapies, is the world’s only degree-level course offered by an English-speaking university covering the study of acute and chronic skin conditions. It is designed to provide therapists with the next step in their beauty therapy education.

Beauty Biz Year 9 Issue 4

The College of Health & Biomedicine at Victoria University is committed to helping students achieve their goals. Their innovative courses, flexible pathways and hands-on approach to teaching, learning and research provide you with relevant experience that prepares you for the real world.

Through their strong industry connections and leadership in sport education, they provide opportunities for every individual to achieve success on their own terms, and prepare them not just for a career, but for life.

The Bachelor of Health Science (Dermal Therapies) provides a seamless transition from Vocational Education (TAFE) into the Higher Education qualification. It gives qualified beauty therapists the opportunity to establish and develop knowledge and skills in advanced dermal therapy treatments, and receive additional training such as para-medical dermal care

ORGANISATIONS EMPLOYING DERMAL THERAPY GRADUATES Dermal Therapists can work independently or hand-in-hand with reconstructive and aesthetic surgeons, dermatologists and general practitioners in clinics, medical practices, advanced beauty and cosmetic settings Course objectives • Provide an education so graduates have the knowledge and skills to safely and effectively participate in Dermal therapies practice.

• Prepare graduates for entry into the Graduate Certificate, Graduate Diploma and Masters of Dermal Science • Provide an education which contributes to the individual’s personal, professional and intellectual growth.

The area of dermal therapies, although relatively new, is expanding at a considerable rate. Recent global and western trends indicate that the beauty and dermal therapies areas are second only to the areas of hospitality and foods. Not only is there an increasing demand for services, but an increasing demand by industry, including from recent VU graduates, to improve the quality and quantity of trained graduates in the field.

In addition, the interdisciplinary links amongst dermal therapists and those in the established basic sciences and health disciplines are strengthening sufficiently that the number of research publications in refereed journals in dermal therapies is also increasing. All these factors will ensure that dermal therapies will continue to grow as a professional field its own right.

The course in existence was originally developed about nine years ago. Over the years, technological advances in equipment and cosmetic products have been extensive and consumer demand (from an increasingly articulate client base for both services and training) is on the increase.

Course structure The entire course is a four year program which includes the Diploma of Beauty Therapy. The Higher Education component of this four year program is three years. Those who have already completed a Diploma of Beauty Therapy or

equivalent need only to complete the three year Higher Education component of the program.

The course can be completed in full time mode or part time equivalent.

Year 4, Semester 1 Resurfacing Science Advanced Laser and Light 1 Independent Research 1

The first semester in the fourth year of the course, also gives students the option of choosing one of three elective options. This allows students a choice of electives that will best prepare them for their chosen career pathways

One Elective from the list below: Post Operative Micropigmentation Cosmetic Chemistry Human Biology

Year 4, Semester 2 Plastic and Reconstructive Procedures Dermal Clinical Practicum Advanced Laser and Light 2 Independent Research 2 Admission requirements TAFE: Successful completion of the Diploma of Beauty Therapy (SIB50110) or equivalent.

Applicants may also be required to attend an interview and complete an entrance test.

HAVE YOU GOT YOUR RATIO RIGHT?

Known as a world leading brand Refectocil is today prominently represented in more than 50 countries. Refectocil eyelash and eyebrow tints have been proven and recognised due to millions of successful applications as a leading product for almost 75 years.

There are 10 different Refectocil colour shades for tinting eyelashes and eyebrows or for lightening eyebrows. Before tinting discuss with your client their wishes and expectations. With the help of the Refectocil Colour Chart you can easily show, which tinting results can be achieved from the different colour shades. Some shades are suitable for every natural hair colour (pure black, blue black, natural brown, chestnut, red, blond); other shades are suitable only for lighter natural hair colours (deep blue, graphite, light brown, purple). On the colourchart no colour result is indicated for unsuitable combinations.

CORRECT MIX RATIO

It is extremely IMPORTANT to note that mixing brands or using a Hairdressing 10vol peroxide WILL NOT produce correct results and that the ratio of tint to oxidant is correct

be severe. The comfort of the client is essential - to eliminate any discomfort Refectocil strongly recommends a skin sensitivity test be performed before EVERY application. Even people who have their eyelashes and eyebrows tinted regularly can still have an allergic reaction. If the client refuses to have this test, it is worthwhile having as salon policy that the customer would have to sign a waiver. Please read carefully the instructions on how to perform a skin sensivity test which are included with every Refectocil tint.

WHAT IS THE CORRECT SEATING POSITION FOR THE CLIENT WHEN TINTING EYELASHES AND EYEBROWS?

The correct position for the client during tinting is not lying down, but sitting and/or slightly leaning back. The eyes must remain closed during tinting.

The client should relax, direct the gaze downward or straight ahead, and not move the eyes.

Tip: If it is difficult for your client to keep the eyes still during the application time of the lash tint place a dampened cotton pad on each of the closed eyes; this makes it easier to keep eyes closed.

IS A SKIN SENSITIVITY TEST/ PATCH TEST NECESSARY?

YES YES & YES! There are a small number of individuals who may have an allergic reaction to tints, hair dyes and other chemical treatments.

It is only in rare situations that the reaction can 52

MIXING OF REFECTOCIL COLOURS

Fundamentally you can mix all Refectocil colours with the exception of Refectocil No. 4 chestnut with one another. However, we recommend this only to experienced users! With the available

Refectocil colours a multiplicity of shades can be achieved and almost all clients’ wishes fulfilled.

Please note that Refectocil No. 4 chestnut under no circumstances should be mixed with other Refectocil colours! In addition you should never mix Refectocil eyelash and eyebrow tints with other eyelash and eyebrow brands.

It has become an important factor, with the use of all REFECTOCIL tints that correct mixing of tint ratio to oxidant is adhered to and with that in mind all distributors have been supplied a small “bookmark” to assist in educating all users. Ask your local distributor for your FREE bookmark when ordering your next tints next time.

Essie Long Lasting Polish Essie has officially joined the likes of other polish companies and is now producing long-lasting polish. Except with Essie, there’s a twist. The bottle itself twists around, inspired by a couture dress twirling down the runway. Even the brush has a swirl stem for optimal polishing.

Because of the mix between fashion and technology, there was no better place to premiere the polish than at the 2016 Met Gala. Stars Kate Bosworth, Elle Fanning, and Katie Holmes all sported the new line.

Growth in Nail Care Market The global professional nail care market grew almost 6% in 2015, according to a report titled Professional Nail Care: Global Market Brief from consulting and research firm Kline. The report pointed to increased sales of hybrid (or long-wear) polish such as Caption and Vinylux as one of the major factors behind the growth.

“While this innovation is the key market driver, it is also leading to cannibalisation of sales between product types, which causes several brands to suffer declines in sales for their nail polish product lines as loyal consumers shift to the use of long-wear nail polishes,” says Agnieszka Saintemarie, the report’s project manager. The report also links growth to innovations in product removal, like peel-off base coats, foil wraps, clips, and steamers, such as The Painted Nail’s Steam Off and Gel II’s Steam Gel-Polish Removal System.

Doug Schoon of Schoon Scientific has recently announced the winners of his Innovation Awards for 2015.

The Steam Off by The Painted Nail was named the 1st Runner Up for the Most Innovative Idea for 2015 – with Olaplex (for repairing over-bleached hair) ranked in 1st Place and Safe Salon Supply, LLC. (a source for salon safety equipment) granted Very Honorable Mention.

The Steam Off helps nail techs and their clients in two ways. First, it speeds up the process of removal by heating up nail polish remover. Shares Schoon, “As a rule, solvents removers work much faster when they are warmed by just 10°F (8°C).” Second, because it speeds up the removal process and helps the gel or acrylic peel away from the nail more efficiently, it reduces the harm done from impatient peeling and prying

WOULD YOU LIKE SOME ‘RESPONSIBILITY’ WITH THAT?

By Julie Cross

It is like we can’t say it any more…. It is like if we do we will offend or hurt somebody, it is like it is now taboo.

What am I talking about? Well, I am talking about ‘responsibility’.

Whatever ever happened to ‘taking responsibility? It seems it has become so much more fashionable to blame somebody else for our situation, our moods, our energy, our luck and our life. It is like the question is no longer allowed to be asked; the question being, “What have I done to contribute to this situation?”… And “What could I now choose to do differently to achieve a better result?”

And what empowering questions they are, how empowering to know that a decision I make today can change my path, change my energy, change what I attract into my life and change how I feel about myself. How empowering to know that my life is in my control. OK, maybe not all of it, but so much of it is. It is like we choose focus on the bits that aren’t in our control and talk about that rather than focusing on what is in our control.

Let me explain…

You chose your job. Yes you did. Nobody ‘makes’ us do what we do every day. It is a conscious choice to go there every day and do it. So, when somebody asks how your work is the answer has to be, ‘Great!’… Because I consciously choose to do it each day. Now, there will be moments that aren’t great, but that is life and you get to also choose how you handle and move through those moments. Now, at this point some people will start to roll there eyes and say… well some people are trapped in their jobs because they have bills to pay even if it is not a job they really like.

Well, yes, true, we do have to pay the bills and we also have some choice how big those bills are, how much we spend on ‘stuff’, how big a house we get and how luxurious our car is and how many holidays we have in a year. Choices. And let us be thankful we have a job that gives us the opportunity for all of that and when we take THAT attitude and energy to the job we choose to go to every day I can promise you opportunities open up for us. Focus on what you have got and you get more of what you want. Oh, yes they do.

will never be able to control what everybody says about you and to you; you can only ever control how you ‘react’ to what they say. Responsibility actually means, having the ‘ability to respond’. So you can either respond by being in a bad mood all day or you can respond by hearing it, feeling it and then letting it go and choosing to make the day great… because it is your day, your life and your energy! And I know for sure life feels better and I attract better things when I am in a good feeling place. So, why wouldn’t I take myself there at every opportunity I get?

That’s empowering.

And how about our health. I mean maybe the reason that we have put on weight and we are not at our healthiest is because we ate too much of the wrong foods? Maybe the reason we are unfit was simply because we didn’t get out of bed to go for a walk, but instead made a choice to sleep in? Maybe the reason we have so many credit card bills was that we simply spent way too much money? And we can fix that!

Now, I do understand why people avoid taking responsibility.

The reason I understand is because I have been there many times myself. You see when you have to sit with yourself and reflect and ask that question, “What have I done to contribute to this situation?”, it may mean that it brings up some shame… shame that you let it get to this, some anger, some sadness, some pity and some self shaming… I get that I have been there. Well stop right there. You are not bad because you got off track, you are not hopeless or worthless, you are simply human!

When we were learning to walk we all tripped and fell and then we simply kept getting back up until we got it. We hurt ourselves, we bumped our heads, we stumbled and tumbled and cried and tried… and on we went until we did it. As adults we will still tumble with bad decisions, stumble over a lack of discipline and hurt ourselves as we trip over a lack of responsibility… but YOU HAVE GOT THIS! You just need to be honest with yourself, be kind to yourself, empower up, take responsibility and get back up like you know how to do. Get back up stronger and wiser and sometimes taking another direction but keep getting back up, because I know you can and the view is worth it!

How about our responsibility around our moods? Say you went to work feeling great and then you had a client who was really rude to you and upset you and perhaps put you in a bad mood. This happened at 9am. How is your energy at 10am?

Are you still in a bad mood? Are you still talking about that nasty client that put in you a bad mood at 9am? What about at 11am when another team member comes to work… do you follow them into the back room and tell them about the client at 9am that really upset you and put you in a bad mood. I mean what did she do… drive you to the bad mood place and drop you off? Can I suggest to you that if you are still in a bad mood at 11am you are now choosing to be!

So, the next time we aren’t ‘feeling’ like things are going our way and we are feeling down, unhappy, frustrated or angry about something…. Before we start blaming the economy, the government, our partners, our team, our boss or the universe… simply take a deep breath and ask yourself, “What have I don’t to contribute to this situation? “What could I now do to change it or make it better”… and then do that.

I believe our responsibility in this situation is simply this. You

Sparkle on!

Here is life… now would you like some responsibility with that?

I sure would because that is an empowering place to live a great life from!

Dealing with Different

GENERATIONS AT WORK

By Stacey Ashley

Today, we have an unprecedented number of five generations making up our workplaces.

With the huge differences in their upbringing, familiarity with current technology and the massive amount of change and information to deal with, the reality is that we are part of a group of diverse and complex group of people.

So how do you get the best out of such a mix of different generations? In order to bring out the best of your employees, I have highlighted some of the key generational differences to watch out for.

If you employee a baby boomer, the chances are that they will prefer a more ‘command and control’ style of leadership which is primarily task orientated. Baby boomers prefer to get results rather than worrying about ‘way we get results’.

Therefore, in order to bring out the best of this 66

generation, them.

always provide clear direction to

Leadership in the Gen X period however, was all about ensuring that people felt rewarded. Gen X Staff gained promotion earlier but also worked longer hours, which led to more stress and anxiety. The Gen X staff member therefore will also focus on getting results. It may seem that they understand staff and their needs but deep down their main priority will be getting the task done.

These days, we are seeing an increasing amount of Gen Y in the work place. This generation appreciate collaboration and working for the great good.

When managing a Gen Y, use a more gentle coaching approach and invite them into conversations. Gen Y like to be connected with on a deeper level and if they feel their values are aligned to your business, they can be fabulous employees and just get on with it! However, this approach can be quite confusing for the two

earlier generations who are looking for direction and clear measure of outcomes.

question and challenge so they understand the implications before they begin.

Considering this, if a Baby Boomer Manager says to a Gen Y “We need to finish this project’, the Gen Y is more likely to question why it needs to be done in the first place!

Gen Y will use as many communication channels as they have to hand, and all of them at once.

They want immediate responses and if they don’t get a response through one channel will resort to another one. This can be confusing and frustrating for earlier generations.

Therefore, to lead Gen Y effectively you need to discover what energises them to do their best work and then ask them to contribute.

The environment that brings out the best in Gen Y needs to cultivate advocacy, continuous improvement, and innovation in order for Gen Y to thrive.

Also it’s important to consider the different types of communication each generation may prefer. Baby Boomers may not be as technology savvy as Gen Y so may prefer clear and direct communication through a small number of channels.

When communicating with Gen X , keep in mind they are often mindful of status and like to make sure they have covered any risk to themselves.

Therefore, verbal communication followed up with written is their preference. They will also

Recognising that each of the generations have different motivators is another key to leading and working with them. The information the people around you need so they can understand what makes a task or project important will be different. For Baby Boomers if the boss wants it that makes it important. For Gen X if it contributes to the bottom line, my performance, my team’s performance that makes it important. For Gen Y if it makes a difference, that makes it important.

As Gen X and Y move up the leadership ladder ‘How things are done” is becoming more important, not just “what is done”. There is recognition that people are the key to the success of any organisation and that to bring out the best in people you need to create the organisational environment and opportunities for

people to thrive in.

Mentoring and coaching as leadership approaches are more effective and becoming more widely spread. These are recognised as some of the most effective ways to both transfer knowledge, mentoring, and develop talent, coaching, while creating clear accountability in individuals and promoting continuous improvement.

Fundamentally, you need to adapt your approach to support the individuals in your team.

BUSINESS

PERCEPTION IS FACT!

By Justin Herald

As business owners we can tend to fall into a big trap when we assume our customers will accept our word that our service is excellent and better than every body else’s.

The whole area of brand perception really needs to be understood better these days.

You see, just because you say it, doesn’t mean I (as the customer) will believe it. I need to try it out before I will take your word for it. Why? Simple, because I along with every other customer or consumer out there have been feed the whole “we look after our customers” line so many times that we just don’t believe it any more.

What a lot of businesses do is they make a mistake in assuming that they can change someone’s perception by using fancy marketing ploys.

You see my perception of your service and your business will become fact in my head. If you say you care about me in your advertising and I then experience the opposite, then all of that money spent on attracting me to your business has gone down the drain.

This is why it is so important why the owners or the managers of the business need to ensure they have their fingers on the customers pulse and not on what they want the customer to believe.

You need to make sure you see what the customer sees and experience what the customer experiences. When was the last time you had a real hard and thorough look at how your staff are servicing your clients and what the reaction of that service is from your customer’s perspective?

Too many times we just assume everything is 68

Beauty Biz Year 9 Issue 4

going well if we don’t get any negative feedback from the customer. But the customer has choice these days in taking their business elsewhere, so most of the time you won’t even hear about a complaint as the customer will just leave and say nothing.

The best way you can change your business to be in line with what your customers want is to listen to them. It costs you nothing! You need to understand what the perception of your business is in your customer’s eyes, or you will constantly miss the mark with them. You will spend a lot of wasted time and money on nothing.

So what do you think you have to work on in your business?

Are you too busy trying to get your customers to accept your brand of service as the way it is going to be, or are you open to listening to their perceptions of what they actually experience?

Because don’t forget, the customer’s perception is now fact to them. It is your job to change their perception if it is a bad one, to one that is now positive. The only way you can do that is by understanding why they have the perception that they do.

Let me explain. If your brand is all about vibrance, fun and class but the experience the

client actually gets is rushed, disconnected and impersonal, then your brand is perceived as incorrect from the client’s perspective hence solidifying that in their heads.

That is why it is super important to constantly do a brand stock take to make sure what you are telling everyone you are is exactly what they receive. This can be done quite easily but make sure you look at all aspects and facets of your business. Your staff would be the greatest brand builders you have going for you but also can destroy your brand perception if something goes wrong.

Do your staff know exactly what your brand stands for?

Are they adding to the brand’s perception in a positive way, every day with every client?

Just remember… The better the experience…..

The better the referrals by your clients.

STAYING SOLO & ON TRACK

By Robert Gerrish & Sam Leader

‘The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time’ - Bertrand Russell

Most solo ventures that crash land are forced to do so not as a result of a single spectacular disaster but as a consequence of a number of contributory factors.

If unchecked, any one of these destructive factors has the potential to force the whole shebang into the shape of a pear.

Its all to do with that thin line between love and hate. Both reside as close neighbours in life as they do in work. You can be loving your work one day, hating it the next. To stay in love with your business, you will need to stay on track. We will look at some ways to look after yourself and your business, so you can stay happy. Not to mention sane!

Beauty Biz Year 9 Issue 4

CREATE SOME SPACE

Even with good strategies in place it can be hard to maintain the good, clear, creative headspace you need if your solo business is to stay close to your heart.

So how can you be sure of always finding the mental capacity necessary to maintain and hone your business, particularly when things get seriously busy? The answer is to fully get to grips with your brain capacity, or personal bandwidth.

The challenge here is to create some extra space between your ears by sweeping away any clutter that resides there.

WHAT WE MEAN BY ‘CLUTTER’

The clutter we are talking about is particularly toxic, as it is the kind which fails to even get out of your head and onto paper. It’s the junk that sits in your brain and bugs you at regular intervals. Keeping such clutter stored there is the equivalent of turning on a computer and launching every piece of software. Your computers processor won’t perform well in these circumstances and neither will yours.

Ponder how liberated you’d feel if you removed the petty rubbish from your brain. How much extra bandwidth you would have, how much more effective you could be, how much more

energy you could put to use thinking about less trivial stuff.

Here are some examples of the kind of clutter we’re talking about that you may not even realise is contributing to a problem: • You’ve got a box full of receipts you need to sort out • Your mobile phone is on the blink • Your desk is piled with papers • Your car needs a service • You’re overdue for a haircut • Every cupboard around you is full to bursting • You’ve made suck little contact with friends they must think you have left the country Have we touched any hot spots yet? Chances are we have. Scratch beneath the surface of a facade of procrastination and typically you will find an excess of clutter. What you need is to free up your creative mind from the shackles of this junk.

CALL IN THE (PERSONAL) AUDITORS

When it comes to looking at the bigger picture of your journey, a vision refresh is likely to be an annual exercise, although to stay truly connected with your work we suggest you also undertake a regular personal audit once every few months. In the land of the employed, people practically fall over themselves reviewing the performance of others. In Soloville this doesn’t happen and while that may appear to be worthy of major rejoicing it does carry some risk.

Without a regular review of how you’re travelling ( as in you the person, not the business) it can be easy to slip into bad habits and fail to reap the personal satisfaction you have set your heart and eyes on. As a successful soloist you should be continually assessing you progress.

AVOID DISTRACTIONS

Before explaining this further we need to make an important distinction between distractions

“Like a sports coach, a professional business and/ or life coach is a partner who helps accelerate your results.” and diversions. It is perfectly fine to take part in diversions which help to keep you on top of your game. Without sufficient diversion you will become tired and lethargic, and susceptible to unhealthy distractions. The trick is to be prudent enough to judge the difference between healthy diversions and random distractions. Even if you have the balance thing down pat, distractions are a constant challenge.

It is possible to pull yourself up by applying some good old-fashioned logic to the distraction you encounter. Ask yourself, “If I go off on this tangent or get involved in this conversation/start pondering the issue, where is it like to take me and is now the time to go there?’.

This brand of mental ruthlessness will soon see you projecting a more focused persona that can dramatically stem the flow of distractions.

HIRE A COACH

Like a sports coach, a professional business and/ or life coach is a partner who helps accelerate your results. This is all about you: you’re the athlete and you’re the one winning the medals, while your coach cheers you on from the sidelines. Their job is to bring out the best in you.

As well as providing inspiration, coaches provide practical advice by helping you clarify or finetune your motivations. Typically they facilitate a system of reporting, self-exploration and goalsetting to improve your focus and awareness.

KEEP REVIEWING YOUR SKILLS

In the same way as creating a network or using a coach aids inspiration and focus, so too does professional development. This is the act of putting emphasis on the regular improvement of your professional skills and interests, so they are kept up to date. By so doing you’re effectively facing evolution or revolution headon, not hiding under the desk hoping it will pass. In the same way that a doctor or lawyer or judge has to maintain their position by study, course attendance or examination, so too each and every soloist should work to stay abreast of developments in their industry.

PROTECT YOUR ENERGY SOURCES

Soloists who can’t/won’t/don’t get away from their work every once in a while don’t have a business, they have a job. And a pretty crappy one at that!

It is essential you show your job who’s boss by walking away from it once in a while. Failing to do so is by far the most common reason for soloists to veer off track.

Without you, you have no business. It is very important to look after yourself because if you don’t your business will suffer and, worse, so will you. If you find it difficult to justify taking time away from your work when you’re busy, you may be labouring under the old assumption that leisure and play equates to idleness and ineffectiveness.

Take inspiration from the Dalai Lama who’s quoted as saying, “I have so much to do today, I need to meditate twice as long to get it done.”

Robert Gerrish & Sam Leader are authors of the successful book ‘Flying Solo - How to go it alone in business’.

IS YOUR BEAUTY SALON OR SPA ON THE NOSE?

By Lisa Conway

First impressions count. Initial judgement forms within milliseconds, then sticks, colouring any newcomer’s perception of your salon or spa indefinitely. Get that first impression right and you’re off to a flying start. Get it wrong and you’re already two steps behind. Have you ever considered that a bad smell could be sabotaging your first impression?

Think about this scenario.

You’ve done your planning. Your promotion to drive new prospects into your business is up and running. People are popping in to enquire about your offer and check you out a little closer.

need to have every box ticked. Reception area looking tasteful and spotless. Mood lighting. Soft music. Friendly greeting.

But what about that offensive smell lurking in the air? Have you thought about that?

stand the nail technician smell or the wax pots or the tanning booth … or all three. Personally, I love all these smells. The one I struggle with is the laser – the smell of burnt hair can make me feel quite unwell.

They might ask you a question or two around the service and take a price menu away.

If your beauty salon is on the nose, that’s what your potential clients will notice and remember.

And you’ll struggle to get them across the line to the next stage: making an appointment.

Most salon owners think they can’t remedy the smell factor and that clients just need to tolerate various smells as part of the service. In fact, the solution is often as simple and affordable as installing an exhaust fan in each treatment room.

This is a crucial point in your sales process. You

like roses because no one has complained. But have you even asked?

Odours, for some reason, are the one thing even your best friend might not mention unless you ask.

In your business, your clients are the ones to ask for constructive criticism. Don’t leave “smell” off the list when seeking feedback.

You work in this space every day, so your nose is probably conditioned to many of the odours that others find offensive.

Next time, take notice of what you smell when you return to your salon after a few days away.

You might think your team’s been lazy with the cleaning or the equipment.

The fact is, those smells are probably always there; you’ve just adapted to them so you don’t notice them every day.

Evil smells can emanate from all sorts of sources in your salon. What about those rubbish bins that didn’t get emptied last night or the carpets that are way past their use-by-date? You know what you need to do there.

But what about a team member with bad breath or cigarette fingers? How do you address those smelly issues?

I remember being a mystery shopper for a beauty salon. Although I enjoyed the facial and peel, I could smell that my therapist was a smoker. And that impression stuck with me. When I addressed it with her, she did the usual mint-popping BandAid fix. The cigarette smell was coming from her clothing.

What people do in their unpaid break is none of my business. However, with enough time spent in one-to-one private team coaching/education sessions, you can get your team members to see it from the clients’ perspective. And if you can help them cut back their smoking during working hours you’ll be helping them improve their health, save money and be nicer to be around.

It’s tough to address personal issues with your team but your business success relies on it. Approach it the same way you address everything else, privately and professionally. The less fuss you make the better.

If you frame it with “I don’t know how to say this. I’m not sure you’re going to like this,” while holding a body posture with any tinge of cringe, you’ll end up with two embarrassed faces: yours and theirs. Try the Pat, Smack and Pat approach.

It goes like this.

“If your beauty salon is on the nose, that’s what your potential clients will notice and remember. And you’ll struggle to get them across the line to the next stage: making an appointment.”

“I love X about you and also X, but a client mentioned to me that they could smell cigarettes on you. I think that’s something you can sort out. Perhaps you slipped up and forgot your toothbrush to brush your teeth after your break or would you like me to help you by making a few suggestions?”

Then just wait to hear the response. What matters to you might not to another, so a reminder is always a good way to check in.

Sight and smell are our two strongest senses.

When you get them right, you create a calmness and welcoming energy for your beauty space.

When someone walks into your business and notices the beautiful décor and lovely fragrance, they create for themselves a strong positive feeling about you and your brand. It’s that feeling you’re after – a rock-solid first impression that has them thinking: Yes, I’d like to spend some time here. This is fantastic. I’ve chosen well and I’m glad to be here.

It’s all about the experience, the feeling your beauty salon evokes because that’s what your client remembers long after they’ve paid for their treatment or service.

Follow your nose. Track down and eliminate any nasty odours lurking in your salon and you’ll be one step closer to the sweet smell of success.
