Hairdressers Journal content to launch in Professional Beauty

P

rofessional Beauty GCC will feature exclusive content from the UK’s leading professional hair magazine – Hairdressers Journal – from next month.

“Exclusive from HJ UK” will launch as a new section in the February issue of the magazine, featuring trends and expert advice from the marketleading magazine, which has a 133-year heritage and has run the prestigious

British Hairdressing Awards since 1984.

Moloney, managing director of Professional Beauty, commented: “As the marketing leading magazine for the British hair industry, Hairdressers Journal is at the forefront of one of the world’s most influential hair scenes.

“Aspirational hairdressers in the GCC who look to the UK hair industry for trends and techniques will now have easy access to this information in the pages of

Professional Beauty GCC magazine.”

Professional Beauty acquired Hairdressers’ Journal and the Salon International exhibition, as well as the British Hairdressing Awards, from Reed Business Information in October 2015.

International stylists will also provide inspiration on the Hairdressers Journal Live Stage at the Professional Beauty GCC exhibition next month. For more information visit www.professionalbeauty.ae

More than 500 international and regional VIP guest came together to celebrate the arrival of the London-based “beauty at your door” concept, Blowout&Go in Dubai.

At a glitzy party at the Grosvenor House hotel Dubai, entrepreneurs, senior executives, socialites, bloggers and media came together to mark the 007-themed occasion.

Guests included brand ambassador Shereen Mitwalli, actor Andy Madadian, and beauty icon Mariam Rodd as well as celebrity stylist and Redken ambassador, Tony Wood who was flown in from the UK to perform live hair demonstrations.

Blowout&Go was founded by power couple Paria Ghorashi and Ali Rafi.

“My husband and I are very excited about the Dubai launch for Blowout&Go. As a full time mother and career woman, I often struggled to find the time to visit the hair salon especially immediately after the birth. I created the concept of Blowout&Go to specifically help women, so that they could look and feel good without having the inconvenience of visiting salons, all at an affordable price. I hope that Blowout&Go will help the ladies of Dubai fit their beauty routines into their busy schedules,” said Rafi.

Backed by a strong social media presence, since its soft launch in Dubai six months ago, 2000 women have taken advantage of Blowout&Go. With a qualified team of more than 20 hair and make-up artist servicing Dubai, women can book a style agent between 8am – 10pm, seven days a week.

Prices start from AED 150 for a blow-dry and AED 300 for make-up.

Professional hair care brand Redken 5th avenue has formed an exclusive partnership with Blowout&Go. Khalid Dugmag, general manager for the premium hair care brand told Professional Beauty, “We look forward to the launch of Blowout&Go and truly believe that it will develop into a regional success story.

We are happy and honoured to be the

exclusive providers of the products used in Blowout&Go.” Other partners include international cosmetic brand, Urban Decay and NeuLash.

10 “Alternative water” and wearable technology among future industry trends

S

mart technology, water, energyboosting properties and natural and organic products are four key industry trends for the future, according to a new report.

Market researcher Mintel pinpoints the four areas as set to be among the developments that define the beauty industry between now and 2025.

Advancements in technology, including wearable technology, means consumers now have greater control over their health and beauty regimen, with solutions, Mintel stated, set to continue becoming increasingly tailored to the individual.

Vivienne Rudd, director of insight, beauty and personal care at Mintel, said: “As consumers become increasingly familiar with using technology to track their health and well-being, they are looking for beauty brands to offer products and devices that boast similar functionality.”

Mintel also predicts that with water set to become an increasingly precious commodity the world over, consumers will look for the beauty sector to provide skincare solutions that require as little water as possible and drain

the earth’s resources to a minimum extent.

Rudd said: “Our research shows growing consumer interest in alternative water sources that do not place any additional strain on existing resources, and we will see brands scour the earth to find them in order to gain a competitive edge.”

As stress continues to plague the global population, beauty and wellness products and services that can help boost flagging energy levels will also become increasingly in demand, the market researcher predicted.

One area that will continue to grow in importance as a result of this is nutrition

Al Faisaliah blooms with new rose-inspired treatments Ladies-only spa Al Faisaliah Spa by Espa, recently awarded the World’s Best Female Spa, World’s Best Spa Design and Saudi Arabia’s Best Hotel Spa at the World Spa Awards, has launched a bespoke rose facial and rose poultice experience.

The Royal Arabic Rose Facial is designed to ensure guests indulge in an exceptional and personalised experience while the Arabic Rose Poultice Experience involves two hours of relaxation, including a foot scrub, exfoliation, the application of herbal poultices and a scalp treatment.

Jennifer Agapie, spa director, said; “The new personalised treatments further add to the unique guest experience at the Al Faisaliah Spa by Espa. We have taken the time and expertise to provide tailored

Professional Beauty GCC January 2016

offerings that are specific to each of our guest’s needs with the continued aim to redefine luxury and deliver a world class, multiple award-winning spa service.”

The spa features six treatment rooms, two private spa suites, relaxation rooms, whirlpool, nail studio, hair salon and a fitness zone with the latest Technogym equipment.

supplements and healthy food options, with more collaborations likely between the beauty and nutrition sectors.

The demand for natural and organic products and the consumer interest in knowing what goes into a product will also continue, Mintel forecast.

H2E2 promises a holistic approach to business solutions H2E2 is launching to create cuttingedge wellness business solutions, backed-up with the forthcoming launch of an e-business suite.

The online solution will serve users, operators and suppliers in the sector, with an innovative platform that serves all parties involved in the industry.

The company, which is making its debut at the Professional Beauty GCC exhibition next month and has confirmed it will be a platinum sponsor of the Professional Spa and Wellness Dubai Convention, is setting out to bridge the gap between wellness enterprises, suppliers and customers.

One of H2E2’s services is offering a holistic range of solutions that manage the entire lifecycle of launching a wellness business – from concept to implementation.

It will also help existing market players reach the right suppliers or brands, and the biggest possible audience.

Iyad Abdalrahim, managing director of the company, said: “H2E2 will also introduce unique e-services that will further consolidate the needs of the users along with the service providers and the suppliers holistically.”

The H2E2 team includes well-known industry and business members, Gamal Ghazy, Fady Tawfik and Maria Antonela Axinte, who together have a wealth of industry experience and knowledge.

New look Anantara The Palm features Year-long celebrations mark “Fountain of Youth” resort’s 5th birthday

T

he expansion and renovation of the Anantara The Palm Dubai’s spa has brought with it a string of new facilities, features and offerings.

The two-tier spa Asian-inspired spa now boasts 24 treatment rooms.

The ground floor features six single treatment rooms with showers, two beauty rooms, a Thai massage suite, a holistic cocoon room, an Ayurveda suite and three couples’ suites, each of which feature a Serali steam bath, experience showers and an infinity solo pool bath.

The first floor has eight treatment rooms together with two new 34-square metre couples’ massage rooms with a built in sauna, shower and whirlpool, featuring Microsilk technology. The spa also now boasts a Turkish-style hammam with separate male and female facilities.

“We are the first spa in the region to introduce Microsilk technology, the bathing experience beauty experts are

calling ‘the Fountain of Youth’. Guests will have the option to upgrade their hammam experience and enjoy the oxygen-rich micro-bubble bath, which is a patented process that supersaturates the water with billions of bubbles, raising oxygen levels up to 70 per cent higher than common tap water, increasing metabolism and promoting the growth of skin cells,” said JeanFrancois Laurent, general manager, Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort.

Parallel to the physical expansion of the spa, its treatment menu has also been enhanced and now incorporates over 30 treatments, ranging from hammam rituals to Ayurvedic treatments.

“The Royal Hammam experience is an East-meets-West combination performed in the couples’ Turkish hammam and treatment room, and epitomises our years of Anantara Spa expertise and the ageold therapies originating in the Middle East,” said Afrah Hamdy, director of spa, Anantara The Palm Dubai.

Vaniday app named among best on Google Play The online salon and spa booking platform has been lauded as one of the best apps on Google Play in the UAE. Established less than seven months ago, Vaniday allows busy people to book a hair, beauty or well-being appointment quickly and conveniently via the app.

“Given that Google Play serves as the official app store for the Android operating system, having the app featured on this acclaimed digital platform demonstrates that influencers in the digital sector believe our concept is integral to lifestyle in the Middle East,” says Nitin Reen, co-founder and CEO of Vaniday Middle East.

“This additional visibility stands

Professional Beauty GCC January 2016

as proof of trust from Google that our app appeals to their user base, which in turn ensures we have the best possible chance of reaching our potential client base.

“Vaniday aims to enable beauty and wellness services to become just as accessible digitally as other industries have become within the past few years, by streamlining the discovery and booking process for salon and spa customers. At the same time, Vaniday provides partnered salons with intuitive and constantly updated CRM, marketing, and online-booking tools that would be costly for them to develop on their own.”

Jumeirah Zabeel Saray, the Ottoman inspired luxury resort located on Palm Jumeirah, Dubai that includes Talise Ottoman Spa, marks its fifth anniversary on 4 January with a plethora of celebrations.

A series of offers, valid throughout 2016, have been launched to mark the occasion, including a year-long room package and themed offers at both Talise Ottoman Spa and the restaurants.

Throughout 2016 on the fifth of each month, the Talise Ottoman Spa will offer special discounts on treatments and retail products.

The celebrations will also extend to the resort’s leisure and children’s facilities, with special offers and activities scheduled for the fifth of each month at Sinbad’s Kids Club and the water sports area.

The resort’s portfolio of restaurants will offer a dedicated fifth anniversary dessert and special themed beverages available throughout the year.

Fernando Gibaja, general manager, said: “We are proud to celebrate the resort’s fifth year of operation. We have watched the resort get bigger and better since opening in 2011 and its success is owed to the dedicated and talented team of colleagues we have. We welcome and look forward to many more years creating memorable and exhilarating experiences for our guests.”

New benchmarking report offers insight into Dubai spas

T

he inaugural Dubai Spa Benchmark report, published by the hotel division of global real estate company Colliers International, is based on data from 216 treatment rooms, provided

by Dubai operators.

The report looked at three spa categories in Dubai: beach and desert resort spas, city hotel spas, and standalone day spas. While the market as a whole saw a year-on-year increase compared to 2014, the report found that city hotel spas actually saw a six per cent drop in treatment revenue.

Treatment room utilisation at standalone day spas was found to be the highest, at 26 per cent, while it was 22 per cent for beach and desert resort spas and the lowest, 16 per

cent, for city hotel spas.

The overwhelming majority, 79 per cent, of guests at standalone day spas are female, while the breakdown is 50/50 at beach and desert resort spas and 52 per cent female and 48 per cent male at city hotel spas.

As many as 74 per cent of clients at beach and desert resort spas are in-house hotel guests, with just 26 per cent being walk-in guests. The corresponding figure for city hotel spas is 57 per cent in-house hotel guests and 43 per cent walk-in guests.

Daily treatment revenue per available room was the highest at beach and resort spas, at US$247 (AED 907) while it was US$169 (AED 620) for city hotel spas and $162 (AED 619) for standalone day spas.

Boulevard Zone launches new eco-friendly products Boulevard Zone, the beauty supplies distributor, has introduced Little BU polishes and EcoTowel to the region.

The safe, toxin-free polishes are ideal for children and mums alike with fun, fashion forward shades in cream, crystalised, pearlised and high shinenail effects. Little Bu can be washed or peeled off but also comes with a top coat that can be applied for a longer-lasting effect.

William Al Hayek, managing director of Boulevard Zone Trading LLC, exclusive distributor of Little BU in the Middle East said: I believe it [Little Bu] will work well in this region as I recognise that a growing number of sophisticated girls in the city are frequenting salons with their mothers and best friends for pampering manicure and pedicure services.

“After identifying this growing trend among the budding urban

sophisticates, I decided to look for an appropriate range of polish to cater for their the needs. The concept of a truly safe, odourless, non-toxic formula with a glossy finish for children has been so popular that it has transcended age parameters, with chic women-in-the-know flocking to use Little BU nail polish!”

Little BU is already on sale at Sharjah Ladies Club, and in Dubai venue’s such as Cocoon Nail Spa, The Change Initiative, and Talise Spa in the Burj Al Arab.

Boulevard Zone has also launched EcoTowels – biodegradable towels and products designed for individual, onetime use in salon and spas.

Adhering to Dubai Municipality guidelines regarding environmental health requirements in salons and spas and use of disposable towels, Eco Towels are made out of all-natural fibres and designed and developed in the UK.

Spa revenue per occupied hotel room was also higher for beach and desert resorts, at US$13 (AED 47) with the equivalent figure for city hotel spas being US$6 (AED 22).

Talise Fitness enhances digital presence Recognising the growing importance of the digital world, Talise Fitness has launched its own dedicated website, www.

TaliseFitness.com, which it will use not only to promote the wellness brand, but also as a springboard for the launch of other digital communication channels.

The website is the latest step in Talise Fitness’ plans to enhance its visibility, competitiveness and accessibility to the local community.

“Digital has always been an important part of the Talise Fitness marketing and communications strategy. The website will help to establish the brand’s online presence, which we can then expand into other digital channels,” said Cedric Betis, general manager of Talise Fitness.

Currently the website will carry information for members including class timetables, event details, trainer and club profiles, membership options and special offers. Blogs and newsletters will also provide information to visitors from Talise’s team of fitness and wellness experts.

Norway’s largest spa opens

T

he Well, the largest spa in Norway, has opened its doors to guests.

The spa, located outside Oslo, crosses 10,500sq m and features 25 treatment rooms, 15 saunas and 11 pools.

The spa and wellness centre, which span three floors, is for adults only and includes a range of indoor and outdoor water, heat and other features.

Facilities at The Well range from a Japanese garden, a hammam, a crystal steam bath and a herbal sauna, to a Moroccan rhassoul, a Nordic light sauna, a waterfall grotto and a jungle sauna.

Other amenities include a hot water

pool, a cold water pool and a shower grotto. The Well’s 15 saunas includes a two-story Blockhouse Sauna, with temperatures on the top storey up to 100 °C. The aufguss sauna features professionals carrying out the aufguss ritual, which includes pouring hot water on the stones in the sauna and moving the hot air around the sauna with a towel.

The spa, a US$50m project, also comprises a restaurant with space for 250 guests. Owned by Norwegian billionaire Stein Erik Hagen, who also owns the Farris Bad spa hotel in the city of Larvik, it employs a staff of 130.

Social media craze drives sales of facial masks in UK

Sales of facial masks continue to rise, partly driven by the 2015 trend for “multi-masking,” according to new data from global market analyst the NPD Group.

UK sales of facials masks rose by 22.8 per cent between October 2014 and October 2015, the market analyst revealed.

And, while sales of masks still represent a relatively limited 1.6 per cent of the women’s skincare market as a whole, its value has increased significantly in the past three years.

This year has seen a social media craze for “multi-masking,” seeing beauty bloggers and others uploading pictures of applying several different masks at a time.

This, NPD said, had helped drive sales of facials masks. June Jensen, director of UK beauty for The NPD Group, said: “Masks have been growing in popularity over the last three years, but it was the Instagram craze for multi-masking that stimulated huge growth in the market.

“Customers began experimenting with two or three masks at one time and this trend really took hold in the UK. Emerging early in 2015, it has become the ‘must-try’ skincare trend of the year."

New launches have also helped drive sales, with unit sales of facial masks up 22.3 per cent, reaching 187,000.

The most popular products in the market includes Clarins’ Masque Baume Repulpant Multi-Intensif and Estée Lauder's Revitalising Supreme Global Anti-Aging Mask Boost.

Jensen said: “The recent growth in the mask market demonstrates the role that beauty bloggers and Instagram influencers have on the sales of beauty products. Beauty consumers are increasingly turning to their peers for advice on products and take the lead of their online idols.”

“Oceanic” expansion for Chiva-Som Leading wellness resort Chiva-Som in Thailand has added 23 new rooms to the property.

The new Ocean Rooms include 13 deluxe rooms, five premium rooms and one Anchan room and have been created by US architect Ed Tuttle.

The new rooms have been designed with a clean, spacious look, using simple lines and contemporary interiors. The rooms feature a colour scheme that includes white and gold and the use of light-coloured wood.

Chiva-Som, which this year celebrated 20 years in operation, has also renovated a number of suites, including the Patchouli suite, the two Champaka suites and the Leelawadee suite, which comes complete with its own whirlpool, garden and dining room.

General manager Sheila McCann said: “The new decor is simple and elegant and these new rooms will allow us to provide the highest standard of services and comfort in a tailor-made environment.”

Further renovations, the details of which have not yet been revealed, are planned for 2016.

December As 2015 drew to a close, the salon sector by and large ended things on a positive note. Figures throughout the year have remained relatively consistent, but average treatment room occupancy and rebooking figures were particularly strong this month – most likely a result of the festive season.

Casting an eye towards 2016, we found out that quite a number of you have set out New Year's resolutions for your business, with social media among the key priorities in the year ahead. We also discovered that new product launches are among the key interests for you when visiting trade exhibitions.

December 2015 has proved somewhat unpredictable, figures have scaled up and down over the year, and while December’s figures weren’t recordbreaking, they did present many positives. Rebooking rates, for one, were strong and year on year, most of you reported growth.

Perhaps with plans in mind to continue galvanising these positive signs, an overwhelming majority of you have outlined New Year's resolutions for your business. Social media and website development also feature predominantly in your plans for the year. When you step away from your business to visit industry exhibitions, scouting for new products remains a priority.

With soak-off gel now one of the most popular nail services available, Georgia Seago enlists an army of pros to troubleshoot the most common application issues Discolouration can occur when the pigment is not evenly distributed throughout the gel. Coloured gel should be stirred once a day when in use. Use a flat metal gel stirrer and take it right down to the bottom of the pot. Pull it across the bottom to lift all sunken pigment and fold it back up. Do not mix the gel in a circular motion, as this will create bubbles. Using an application brush that is too small for the nail bed will force you to apply more pressure, which can result in streaks. Move to a larger brush to release the pressure.

Smaller brushes are good for smaller nails, bitten nails, and toes. Larger brushes should be used for average to large nail plates and extensions. Rectify a streaky finish by refining the nails with a soft sponge board then applying another layer of colour.

There are a few factors that may lead to under curing, resulting in stickiness even after wiping. Using a generic UV lamp that doesn’t produce sufficiently intense wavelengths to properly cure a specific formula will result in under curing, so use the correct lamp based on the manufacturer’s recommendations. If you notice that your product is stickier or cloudier than usual, change the bulb on your lamp immediately. You should clean bulbs regularly using a soft, clean cloth while the lamp is turned off. Make sure that your client’s hand is properly placed in the lamp, including their thumb, to ensure targeted exposure of light. Finally, avoid applying gel in thick layers to allow the product to cure properly and thoroughly. The thicker the layer the less efficient the cure, as thinner layers allow more light to penetrate the gel.

Nataliya Al-ta’ai is CND education team ambassador Favourite shade: CND Shellac in Field Fox

The nature of a gel is to retract back when placed on a surface, causing shrinkage. This is magnified when the gel is mixed with solvents such as ethyl and buthyl acetate, which thin the gel polish down and give it its smooth, runny texture. Whether shrinkage occurs also depends on the temperature of the room you are working in and the client’s body temperature. If you’re working in a hot environment, keep your product in the fridge or work under an airconditioning unit. Shrinkage is also more likely when the application is too thick. To avoid this, choose a pure gel or a gel with a very low solvent content (read the label and do the sniff test).

Finally, remember to apply more thin coats if you need to, or choose a highly pigmented product for full coverage.

Steven Rhys-Wells is Cuccio creative director Favourite shade: Cuccio Colour Veneer in I Left my Heart in San Francisco

This could be attributed to a number of different causes. The top coat may not have been cured for long enough. Every layer of colour needs to be cured and dried thoroughly before applying top coat, otherwise it won’t set and will lack shine.

Similarly, if nails are not prepped thoroughly, this will result in the layers of gel not curing.

Another possibility is that the client’s nail plate has too much moisture, in which case use of pure acetone will help dry the nails.

Post-treatment, the use of chemicals such as alcohol, acetone and anything abrasive will affect the shine of a gel manicure, so advise clients to wear gloves when using strong chemicals at home to keep their manicure shiny.

Ensure nails are properly prepped, don’t apply thick coats of product and make sure you cure the nails for the recommended time.

gel polish

professionalbeauty.ae

29 The main reason for gel polish lifting is incorrect application of base coat. If it is not applied thinly and evenly to the entire nail plate, the gel colour may only adhere to the areas where the base coat has been applied, causing the colour to lift.

Cap the free edge of the nail when applying each gel layer in thin coats.

Before application, check that the nail plate preparation has been carried out according to the proper method recommended by the manufacturer, and that all cuticle has been removed from the nail plate. For customers with a shiny, oily or flaky nail plate, buff gently with a grit smoother.

Incorrect curing may also be a cause of lifting, so make sure you cure each hand for the recommended time at the end of each layer.

Bryony McMillan is an OPI educator and member of the OPI A Team Favourite shade: OPI Gel Color in OPI Red

If removal is taking longer than it should, the base gel might have been applied too thickly. Failing this, have you buffed the surface properly before attempting to remove it?

You need to break the seal of the topcoat to allow the soak-off solution to penetrate and start the breakdown of the product.

Use a 180 file for this. Warming the client’s hands can speed things up; apply your soak-off solution in the normal way then slip on a pair of heated mitts and the gel polish will fall off when removing. With longer nails you may find the gel polish comes off easily from the warm nail plate but won’t budge on the free edge, so give it a little longer to soak in this area. Use a wooden hoof stick but do not prise product from the nail as this will cause damage. Instead, re-wrap and soak for a minute or two longer.

Beverley Rose is a Nail Harmony PhD master educator Favourite shade: Gelish colour in Black Shadow

Wrinkling occurs when gels are applied too thickly and the LED or UV lamp cannot penetrate through the layers to cure them, so make a note to change the bulbs in a UV lamp every 500 hours or six months.

Concentrate on the way you prime the nails and apply the layers, making sure the side walls, free edge and the area near the cuticles are covered. If using a prescriptive base coat, apply a thin square in the centre of the nail, leaving a perimeter so the gel can adhere around the edges. With each subsequent layer of product, cap the free edge to completely seal, and use three thin coats of colour rather than two thick. If you’re unsure whether a gel is cured, cure for an extra 30 seconds (LED) or 120 seconds (UV). If a nail is still wrinkled there’s nothing you can do to rectify it apart from start again.

nail and make-up trends

30 NEW METALLICS

NAIL STYLES Metallics and embellishments gave a high shine to nails, matching the standout trend for gold eye make-up and glossy skin.

CND were truly going for gold at The Blonds show, with heavily bejewelled nails to match the gold clothes and make-up. The CND Design Lab Team hand-sculpted the nails and embellishments with liquid and powder and Brisa Gel, then added layers of colour with Shellac, Vinylux and Additives.

To complement the sequin and lace at Rodarte, nail artist Miss Pop used OPI created metallic accents on a vintage look by using silvery Glitzerland polish for a reverse French, then softening the effect with a custom-blended sheer peach-toned top coat. Meanwhile at Sibling, Orly created a gilded French using black, powder blue or candy pink as a base and contrasting with its gold Tinsel Town Epix polish on the free edge.

TREND

Distressed finish Usually more prevalent as an autumn/winter trend, dark distressed, grungy looks were out in force on the s/s16 catwalks and nails were no exception.

From the matte indigo finish OPI gave to models at Rag & Bone in New York to the sultry black at Ethologie by Jasper Garvida (created using Jessica's black creme Velvet & Pearls polish) in London, nails remained dark and edgy for the lighter months.

One of the most striking effects of the season was created by the Jessica Hands On Team at Eudon Choi, where metallic grey Sterling Queen was messily painted on the centre of the nail then given a scratched, distressed finish using a cuticle stick before being sealed with No Shine Matte Finish top coat.

Professional Beauty GCC January 2016

Gold, aqua, pretty pinks and high-gloss skin dominated the catwalks at the spring/summer 2016 shows. Eve Oxberry uncovers the on-trend looks for next season

Subtle graphics While nudes and pastels dominated, plenty of nail art was also in evidence on the spring/summer catwalks. Graphic designs were kept subtle in two contrasting colours. At Ji Oh in New York, Rita Remark kept the graphic to a simple single or double fine stripe down each nail using Essie. Orly also created some interesting but subtle graphics in London, both at Markus Lupfer, where a reverse French was finished with a small triangular shard of silver foil at the base, and also at Fyodor Golan, where reverse French was given a completely different treatment using the new Color Amp'd line. Powder blue City of Angels was used as a fresh alternative to a nude base while tips were finished with neon orange Sunset Strip, which was applied very finely at the tip and thicker along the side walls for a pointed finish.

31 Make-up and skin Blue is set to be the standout accent colour for spring, used in subtle ways to highlight pared back eyes. At Marc Jacobs, Nars applied it messily to the inner corner of the top lid and paired with messy liner for a painterly effect. At 3.1 Phillip Lim, it was used as a liner to highlight the outer edge of the top lid and inner edge of the bottom, while at Hugo Boss it was painted across the full top lid, both standing out against a barely-there base. At Jonathan Simkhai, a pale blue was used to line the waterline of the lower lid, brightening the eyes.

Blue mood

TALK

Dewy skin was a popular as ever but the recent trend for strobing also meant highshine skin was taken to the extreme on the spring/summer catwalks. St Tropez previewed its Self Tan Luxe Oil Spray, which will launch to salons in February 2016, was at shows including Sophia Webster and Julien Macdonald. At the latter, skin-finisher Jules Heptonstall gave models an all-over sheen for a wet-look finish. At Chiara Boni, Aveda paired glistening skin with a bright pink lip, while at Rag & Bone a strobing effect and a heavy brow dominated the face, with the rest of the make-up kept simple.

Graphic twist

Graphic liner is now a standard technique in any make-up artist's repertoire but this season's catwalk shows gave it a new treatment with designs migrating to the lower lids and using colour as well as black to create striking effects. At Jeremy Scott, spiked lower-lid designs created an animated babydoll look, while the wow lashes at Thomas Tait also accented the lower lid for a heavy finish and at Zang Toi accented lower lids finished in a classic flick.

Colour came into play at Victor Alforo where canary yellow or white shadows were applied in sharp lines for a summerready graphic winged edge.

High gloss

Gilded edge Gold is set to be the colour of the season for make-up, with gold leaf, glitter, appliquĂŠ foils and metallic shadows all in evidence on the recent catwalks. Creatures of the Wind used the gold trend with graphic liner, painting a heavily glittered lid with a sharp liner flick. The Blonds went bold on gold with stick-on foils. At Marissa Webb, metallics were used in a far more subtle way, accenting the inner eye and blending out into a deep purple shadow. Ethologie by Jasper Garvida used gold leaf, again accenting the inner eye for a brightened, wide-eyed finish, while Fyodor Golan took it across the whole top lid.

Ask the Experts

Our beauty experts answer your questions on every aspect of running a successful salon or spa business What’s the best way to detox a client’s hair and why does hair need a detox, particularly post-party season?

T

he party season will always play havoc on your hair. All the curling, straightening, hair up, hair down, hair products to stiffen, add volume, add shine, etc, is bound to take its toll on the tresses.

My clients often come into the salon in January with dry, limp, overloaded locks that haven’t seen any care and attention since the beginning of the party season. So before I proceed with colour touch ups and cuts I recommend a hair detox using one of a number of different products or at-home remedies.

Detoxing the hair is just like detoxing the body. We absorb so many toxins every day and anything with that much product build-up just needs to be regularly cleansed and refreshed. And just like the body, we have to get to the core of the problem, which isn’t necessarily the hair shaft. More often than not, it’s the scalp.

Most professionals will be aware that our scalp is living and breathing, while our hair strands are dead. So why do we spend so much time, energy and products on our hair and neglect the reason why we have it in the first place; it grows from the scalp.

Shampooing alone won’t cleanse the scalp deeply enough to get rid of all the build up. Hair products that we use daily will clog pores by creating build up on top of accumulated dead skin, which can cause dull, greasy hair, and slow hair growth.

Needless to say, if you pile on product after product, it’s going to make the scalp dry and itchy. When it gets to this stage, it’s time to detox.

Some detoxes come in the form of a shampoo, others come as more of a treatment, which removes the oil and dirt build up from your hair. When it comes to detoxing there is no need to put more chemicals onto the scalp, which is why I believe in 100 per cent natural detox products. The mariadowling Hair & Scalp Detox is a natural clay product that you apply to the scalp and leave on for 20 minutes. Because it’s made up of soothing and healing aromatherapy oils, it neutralises irritated scalps and heals any damage caused by overuse of products and external toxins.

I’ve also found that my detox product is great for teens with scalp problems due to hormones that can cause dandruff and oiliness. The detox can remedy the problem without compromising the condition of the hair.

While the mariadowling Hair & Scalp Detox is available to use at home as well as in-salon, there are some natural detoxes you can suggest your clients make at home using simple “kitchen cupboard” products.

A rinse of baking soda and water, followed by diluted apple cider vinegar has a detoxifying effect. The baking soda has cleansing properties, while the vinegar and water mix helps to balance the hair and scalp pH levels, kills the bacteria that cause dandruff and itchy scalps and gives the hair extra shine.

So if a client is suffering from hair that is unmanageable, limp and irritated this month, I will certainly be recommending a detox. When the scalp and hair follicles are properly cleansed, nourished and cared for, they give way to healthy growth and hair that recovers its vitality and beauty easily.

What benefit do thermal experiences bring a spa?

F

or avid spa-goers, having access to a good wet area in a spa is essential to ensuring they get their “wellness fix” in a peaceful environment. Over the last few years new concepts have evolved including shower experiences with sound, light, scents and a variety of knobs and nozzles that deliver different temperatures and pressures that encourage an increase in circulation and vitality. Taking an approach that focuses on hot and cold temperatures creates a healthy pump for the lymphatic system and blood circulation, which ensures constant movement of fluids in the body. This prevents a sluggish flow throughout the body, which can cause toxins and waste to build up. Shower experiences can also target sore and achy muscles and joints with specific change in pressures to increase circulation and toxin removal.

Saunas have reinvented themselves offering salt rock therapy, which is good for inhalation and absorption into the skin, aiding microcirculation. These claim to assist in aiding respiratory problems or allergies, which are an ongoing problem these days with exposure to environmental pollutants. It also adds a wonderful look and feel that complements the area. Another new trend for saunas is the infrared sauna where heat penetrates deep into the body to help raise the core temperature of the body. Known for

their health benefits infrared saunas are good for detoxification, pain relief and even weight loss as they deliver a heat which is not as intense yet penetrates deeper, ensuring we can stay in them for longer periods.

Steam inhalations have mainly evolved with their look and feel and perhaps even some new creative scents. The ceilings are lined with starry lights providing better relaxation for the guest and combined with other elements such as ice producing machines to keep guests cooler whilst inside.

Having a plunge pool within the wet area has proven to benefit not only an increase in circulation but also the healing of muscles and joints sore from exercise. This is extremely beneficial in fitness areas and is often underused and misunderstood by guests.

The combination of all these different elements within the spa, along with the healing hands of your therapists, will provide the wellness experience that guests want. It is helpful to have information up around the experiences to educate the guests on how to utilise the facilities best. Understanding the clientele you are attracting and the key philosophies behind your spa will help you decide what elements you need to suit your guests’ needs. Finding a space to put it all in these days is another story!

How do organic tanning products differ from other forms of tanning products and what are the benefits to clients in using them?

M

ore and more people are becoming aware of, and concerned with, the amount of chemicals cosmetic products contain and, more importantly, what those chemicals might be doing to their bodies.

A study conducted by the University of Pittsburg School of Public Health found that up to 64 per cent of what we put on our skin could be absorbed into our bloodstream.

Identifying organic products can, however, be a challenge. In Europe, for example, organic is a term defined and certified only for food use meaning the term can be added to practically anything outside this realm, including beauty products and make-up, even if they only contain a tiny percentage of organic ingredients. Often products claiming to be natural still contain parabens or synthetic ingredients. Many well-known cosmetics brands use synthetic preservatives like parabens in their products.

Parabens have been known to cause allergic reactions for a long time. With tanning products in particular, the tan will stay on the skin for 7-10 days so you need to make sure that the tan you are using is a safe and natural product. One of the best ways to identify or debunk natural or organic claims is to look at the ingredients.

TanOrganic, for instance, is an all-natural and organic self-tanning solution that is made with 84 per cent aloe vera. Additionally TanOrganic is the first and only aloe vera-based self-tanner in the world to be Eco-certified.

Eco-certification will not be given to a product that contains GMOs, parabens, phenoxyethanol and ingredients derived from petrochemicals or synthetic chemistry. This means that all aspects of the tan – from seed to bottle – are organic. A list of all the ingredients in the products are given alongside a definition of what they are, proving the brand has nothing to hide. TanOrganic is also certified by PETA, The Organic Trust, The Ethical Company Organisation and The Vegan Society to name but a few.

Aloe vera, meanwhile, is proven to reduce water loss from the outer layer of our skin and also increase the growth of keratin, which is is the key structural material making up the epidermis. TanOrganic also contains no drying agents; this means that the skin will be left hydrated and moisturised, unlike traditional tans that can leave the skin dry and result in the tan cracking and fading in patches. These are key benefits to anyone using or applying the product.

Spotlight on speakers Our monthly catch up with key speakers from the 2016 Professional Spa and Wellness Convention. This month, we feature Daniella Russell Why is “The psychology of buying” a topic you want to speak about?

Retail is such a huge part of our additional income, which is one of the main reasons I wish to pursue this subject. To complete our job professionally and correctly, we should offer our clients a 360 degree overview. A spa visit is not only a hands-on experience with excellent results, it is about maintaining the result and moving forward. This should include purchasing retail products so that the client is still experiencing the benefits of their spa visit, long after they have left.

What would you like the audience to take away from this session?

I would like the audience to gain an understanding of the importance of retail for both the client and the business.

It is a two-way gain. We are generally frightened of retailing and we need to overcome this fear.

What can we expect from your presentation?

Debate, excitement, and positive thinking!

What industry changes would you like to see in 2016?

I would like to see great dedication to training and

education and for the understanding of wellness to keep growing.

What have been the most important spa industry developments in the last few years?

For me, it’s definitely the shift into wellness and health, which is now stronger than ever.

What is the most important global role for the spa and wellness industry?

To keep carrying the health, wellness and fitness approach into the spa world until they merge naturally.

Why are industry events such as the Professional Spa & Wellness Convention important?

This event allows like-minded individuals to network, and helps us keep moving forward through innovation, great ideas, reinforcement of beliefs, support and direction.

Which sessions are you most looking forward to at the convention?

All of them as they all have something important to share.

Daniella Russell is spa development and operations director at Spa Concepts. She has vast experience in the GCC spa industry including a stint as director of health and leisure for Wafi Group, Dubai, which includes Cleopatra's Spa and Spa Resources International.

Jane Wurwand

The Dermalogica founder tells Eve Oxberry why the industry needs to take therapy outside the treatment room walls

J

ane Wurwand is one of those people you can’t help but be inspired by. Having launched Dermalogica with US$14k and a lot of ambition, she built the company into a US$240m-turnover business before selling it to consumer goods giant Unilever last year. Meanwhile she’s also found the time to raise a family and set up a global charity to help other women achieve their own financial independence.

When I meet up with her in a Vegas hotel, it becomes clear how she fits so much in. She talks at double speed, one idea immediately generating another, and is as passionate as ever about the two things that make the beauty industry tick: changing the skin and helping women to start their own businesses.

And it’s this balance of egalitarianism and business nous that is driving her focus for the coming year. “We need to democratise skin therapy,” she says. “The next generation don't want this private, precious thing that you only find in Knightsbridge or Beverley Hills. They want it to be fun and not too institutionalised. So I think we have to redefine what we do because, as an industry, what we have now is not a sustainable business model.”

For Dermalogica, change will involve more airport retail and treatments in stores, including both standalone sites and concessions. For the wider market, she says, it means

a more open-plan format in salons – something Dermalogica pioneered with its Skin Bars and Face Mapping concepts. “It has to happen,” she says. “It happened to nails, it happened to hair when Vidal Sassoon opened his salon in the 1960s. Before that everyone was having their hair washed and cut in cubicles.”

Growth market Wurwand says that opening up the market in this way will be one of the key routes to growth for the industry, with another being a wider acceptance of the importance of skincare and of beauty therapists by medical professionals. She quotes the US Department of Labor stats that predicted 40 per cent job growth for beauty therapists in America by 2022, second only to technology, and adds that while some of that growth is coming from the traditional model, she thinks a lot will come from clinics, adding, “Here's the game changer in the medical profession that has impacted our industry: among dermatologists aged 50 or older the majority, 66 per cent, are men but with dermatologists aged 35 or younger, a 72 per cent majority are women and the prediction is that by 2020 only 11 per cent of dermatologists will be men. So these are young women who use product, who understand the difference between putting Vaseline on your face or using Dermalogica Skin Smoothing cream. So that’s where I believe that 40 per cent is coming from. More skin therapists are going to be found in airports or retail and also in dermatologists offices.”

However, democratisation will not sound the death knell for luxury spas, she adds: “There will always be an opposite and equal reaction, so we’ll continue to have luxury spas with fabulous multi-million dollar builds.”

A takeover by a giant like Unilever will always mean upscaling quickly, and an increased presence in retail stores seemed inevitable when the deal was announced in June 2015. However, Wurwand is quick to point out that any new retail initiative will “always involve treatments” and that “there’s not an intention to take it mass market”.

Instead, she says, Dermalogica will give Unilever a vehicle to implement some of the more advanced research and development it simply can’t afford to use in its many mass brands. “Anti-ageing is still the key area for us and there are a lot of products in this area that are expensive to make,” she says. “You're working with peptides and proteins that are among the most expensive ingredients, and while you can use a very small percentage of that ingredient in a mass line you can't use it at the sort of percentage level where you’re going to get a significant effect. You have to be in prestige and Unilever has the R&D to develop those products but they smartly saw that they need a brand, a division, to carry that. They already have a number of patents that they’ve not been able to embed into a brand, until now.”

New focus As well as anti-ageing, Wurwand reveals that Dermalogica’s new product development is likely to move into the health and wellness space. “There is a new area of self care, which is nothing to do with beauty and isn't clinical. It’s meditation, yoga, mindfulness, nutrition, wellness, skincare and massage. It has to do with self-determination of who we want to be and how we want to age.

That’s the space we play in and the space Unilever

with a partner who’s in food – we’re now asking, what’s the nutritional issue, what’s the lifestyle issue that would go with this product?” Does that mean Dermalogica will be launching nutrition products?

“Maybe,” she says.

Professional-only lines will also remain key and Dermalogica has several on the cards for next year, with innovations set to include a charcoal mask and an ion active facial. In the US, Dermalogica recently launched Dermalogica MD, for aesthetic and dermatology clinics.

While

the

market

may

be

evolving

rapidly,

Wurwand says her vision for Dermalogica remains the same as when she founded the brand. “Our goal for the International Dermal Institute (IDI) was to train the industry and elevate the standard so that skin therapist had a skill set they could sell and be financially independent,” she says. “Now I have a vision of training China. We’ve got 100s of millions of women there that want to be entrepreneurs. This would be a fantastic opportunity for women to have their own businesses, so train China is embedded in my brain, then train India and South America. We’ve got huge parts of the world where there’s not an official training programme.”

This, she says, will mean more physical schools for the IDI and a greater outreach of her FITE (Financial Independence Through Entrepreneurship) charity but also a significant growth in what the company does online. “There’s this enormous platform now for online which didn't exist when we launched and there is so much potential there,” she says. “I see no reason we shouldn't be face mapping live online, with a really good camera, and good technology. With the client as your partner, you can say. ‘run your hands over, what does that feel like? How warm does that feel?’ So you

wants to play more in,” she says. “So that’s part

can do a thermal map of inflammation. In fact, that

of the R&D plan – especially now we’re working

seems doable tomorrow!” PB

New year, new skin Skin expert Rebecca Treston offers five skincare resolutions and tips for 2016 – to inspire you and your clients

1

Follow a healthy lifestyle:

If the inside is out of balance, it will show on the outside so a well-balanced, healthy diet should include good, professionallyrecommended supplementation and a high water intake. When it comes to diet, I recommend eating clean food (organic if possible), cutting sugar intake

to reduce inflammation and taking supplements such as vitamin C to increase cellular function. I often take a concoction of magnesium, a supplement called 5HTP, a supplement of vitamin D and evening primrose oil; and if I am suffering from not being able to sleep, I add some melatonin. One supplement that can be taken by everyone is aloe vera. It is brilliant at neutralising toxins in the body and reducing inflammation.

Follow a good skincare routine:

Don’t forget SPF:

Double cleanse, especially in the evenings. Those who wear lots of make-up should be using an emulsifying cleanser first, as this will break down any make-up and oil. Once this has been done, then another cleanser that is specific to skin type can be used, for instance, those with acne can use a cleanser that contains salicylic acid, while those who have dry or ageing skin should use a cleanser that has AHA (alpha hydroxy acid). This two-step regime removes the dirt and grime from the skin first, so that the skin can breathe and rejuvenate properly. The cleanser in the second step should then have the active ingredients needed to target the skin’s individual concerns. My recommendation is to only use products that have strong actives such as AHA or salicylic acid in the evening. People that use AHA morning and evening are at risk of drying their skin out, making it a bit tight and tired looking. Night-time is best for stronger cleansers, while mornings it is better to use something light, gentle and refreshing, nothing too strong or too astringent. Choose products with a good level of antioxidants: This will filter out toxins and rebuild some of the cell damage that has occurred. Use a retinol product in the evenings, as retinol is anti-ageing, stimulates collagen and helps cell regeneration. Use a good quality hydrating moisturiser.

An evening moisturiser should contain hyaluronic acid and Vitamin C..

80 per cent of ageing is attributed to UV rays so this is the most proactive New Year’s resolution in the fight against ageing. SPF should be reapplied every two to three hours, especially in a sunny country.

The right skincare treatments:

Some treatments are beneficial to all skin types. A deep cleansing facial and a skin peel are great skin pick-me-ups.

A deep cleansing facial will thoroughly cleanse the skin and it boasts multiple benefits. These include purifying the skin, removing dead skin cells and cleaning out any open pores. A regular deep cleanse facial is a very important part of a good skincare regime and it is especially vital to those clients with congested skin. It is also a great treatment to keep skin healthy and in its optimum condition. A peel is a terrific therapy to keep skin fresh and exfoliated. Although peels can be combined with deep cleansing facials, they are meant to complement the deep cleanse, rather than replace it. Sometimes, people may need a treatment that is more rigorous in terms of purifying and cleaning out the open pores and so this is when the combination treatment of deep cleanse and peel can work to yield brilliant results. One of my favourite treatments is Ulthera, a treatment that

71 free of those indications, but we need to be careful using laser with the UAE weather. A laser such as evo boasts multiple benefits for the skin, including the elimination of sun damage and age spots and being able to minimise melisma and chloasma. This type of treatment can be performed a couple of times a year to keep skin in tiptop condition. Two other treatments that are proving increasingly popular with my patients are Mesotherapy and PRP. Mesotherapy, such as the Viora Infusion, infuses the dermis layer under the skin with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and amino acids to nourish and rejuvenate. This promotes production of collagen and elastin and will stimulate rejuvenation. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) also known as the vampire facelift uses a purified and concentrated portion of your own blood to help repair cellular damage and to rejuvenate your facial skin. PRP can stimulate the regeneration and recovery of ageing facial tissue in order to permanently reduce wrinkle pouches and improve skin tone.

treats the skin from the foundations to its upper layers.

It is recognised as the best non-invasive alternative to plastic surgery on the market because of the fact it helps to re-organise ageing skin by stimulating collagen, elastin and fibroblasts. Post-treatment tighter, visibly smoother and textured skin can be seen. Ultherapy can be added into any skincare programme. For example, younger skins can use it as a preventative treatment, having it once every 18 months. Ageing skins can have an annual proactive treatment. Older skins can have it every six to eight months to boost collagen levels.

Because it has a price tag, people will use it but won’t get addicted to it, but when they do have it, they will see really impressive results. For the outside of the skin, I like to use lasers to remove fine lines and address sun damage. Laser resurfacing is great for keeping the skin

Make time to relax:

With the stressful pace of modern life, it is crucial to know how to relax.

Breathing exercises and replacing caffeine with camomile tea can help.

Most of our cellular repair is done through the night so eight hours sleep is essential. Removing gadgets from the room and reading before bedtime can help this.
