First in Hair Technology and Innovation What makes a salon professional want to become a Great Lengths® hair extension artist? Why are Great Lengths® artists beaming with pride? What drives their passion? What fuels their loyalty?
First and foremost, it is and always has been “The quality of the hair”. GREAT LENGTHS® “FIRSTS” FIRST
to introduce the concept of pre-bonded hair strands which revolutionized the hair extension industry
FIRST
to develop and introduce a patented synthesized keratin protein bond designed to mimic the molecular structure of human hair. The result: the most resilient, safest bonding agent in the industry
FIRST
and only company that utilizes the patented de-pigmentation process eliminating harsh chemical bleaching processes, and resulting in healthy, shiny, colourfast strands
FIRST
to introduce the Thermal Pre-bonded Strand Applicator, still the most widely used hair application system in the world.
FIRST
to introduce the Multi-Strand Air Pressure technology providing both stylists and clients application options previously not available and soon to be introduced to Canada. This system significantly reduces the installation time for clients and increases salon productivity.
FIRST IN BRANDING, IMAGE AND SALON SUPPORT Great Lengths® marketing campaigns are driving the brand and image across the country, and being designed to drive business to the salons we serve. The Great Lengths® print ads are prestigious and influential to reach those salon professionals most qualified to represent this luxury brand. Loyal clients return to their Great Lengths® artist regularly throughout the year for their Great Lengths® services and spend money in every other service domain of the salon. Behind the scene marketing efforts will keep Great Lengths® front and centre. The world’s “most watched women” wear Great Lengths® and consumers take notice. Comprehensive websites promote brand awareness and provide a detailed salon locater to support new clients seeking Great Lengths® services.
IT’S ALL ABOUT THE COMPANY YOU KEEP Although many are bigger, no professional product company in existence can boast our high profile and A-list salon clientele. The finest salons in the country are representing the Great Lengths® brand. Why? Because only Great Lengths® can deliver the consistent quality and results clients expect and demand. Great Lengths® is selective with its salon distribution. If your salon caters to a clientele who demand only the best, you can offer Great Lengths® services without hesitation.

here is nothing like the thrill of hitting the show circuit every year to see what’s new and innovative. Whether it’s the latest in technology, business or fashion trends, there’s always a buzz in the air to take the edge out of winter. As I write this letter today, I am preparing to head to Nashville for the KPSS (Goldwell and KMS California) National Conference for their guest artists who teach and train and do the ABA show circuit every year. I call January and February the gearing up time for show season. We always go to LA for the ISSE show in January to get it all started. L’Oréal Professionnel recently held its first-ever Unique show in Toronto. (See the story on page 56.) They did other shows in Montreal, Quebec City and Vancouver. In a couple of weeks we will all head out to Chicago for America’s Beauty Show and take in the OMC Hairworld competitions being held in conjunction with that show this year. American Crew and Wella will also present their trend collections during the Chicago show. Then it’s back home to Canada and the Montreal ABA show. This kicks off the ABA spring season in March, followed by Toronto, Vancouver and Winnipeg this month and Edmonton ABA taking place in May. I will be doing a Contessa presentation at IBS’s All About Beauty Show in Edmonton in March as well. And there are the BSG Fashion Focus shows in Calgary and Saskatoon. There’s no shortage of things to check out. Not just this industry, but the fashion show circuit, too, is in full swing, with the fall/winter 2008 collections from New York, London, Paris and the like. And with that comes our Sping/Summer 2008 Trend Report. Take a look at Morella Aguirre’s predictions for hair, makeup and nails this coming season as she analyzes what she saw for S/S 2008. Her report is on page 41. Finally, check out the Contessa Covered story on page 22. You’ll love the compliments Salon Pure’s Antoine Vadaccino got for his Contessa entry last year. We are in full gear planning the 20th anniversary of the Contessas, and it’s time for you to plan your collections. Download this year’s official entry form at www.salon52.ca or get it here opposite page 50. Good luck with your planning.

he idea of adding a Contessa award acknowledging business excellence in the salon industry has been suggested to us many times over the years. However, creating a new category is a major endeavour that we don’t take lightly. We have to assess the demand for a category and weigh its merits. We ask ourselves how it can benefit the Canadian beauty industry. Then we research, dialogue and debate—a process followed by more research and debate. What’s more, adding a category for salon business is a completely different beast from our other photography-based awards. This year when Paul Pagliaro of Milano Systems pitched us the concept for the millionth time, we felt ready to take the plunge. Not only did Milano offer to assist us with critical information and advice, they have also come on board as the proud sponsor of the prestigious award. As many would agree, managing a business doesn’t come easily to most salon owners, since most are creative thinkers by nature and not “numbers” people. In fact, the problems stylists raise most often concern the challenges of operating a salon business. I have the utmost respect for the courageous salon owners who’ve had the discipline to hone their business skills and build strong, vibrant, and viable operations. We understand there are many elements that contribute to a successful salon business model, including innovative profit and growth strategies, education policies, compensation and benefits packages for employees, etc. A complete list of rules and criteria for this new award are posted on www.salon52.ca—just click on Contessas. Judges for this category will be fielded from the business community, including business schools, to ensure confidentiality and fairness in the process of winner selection. Introducing a Contessa Salon Business Award is the perfect complement to our existing roster of Contessas. Recognizing innovation in business goes hand in hand with outstanding creativity. It rounds out the Contessas as we enter our third decade of celebrating the best in Canada’s beauty industry. We’re proud and excited to introduce this very important award and look forward to hearing about the wonderful success stories right here in Canada!

n the game of competition, you never know where life will take you. When Antoine Vadacchino came together with the entire Salon Pure team to do their collection for Contessa 19, his biggest hope—aside from winning—was probably that the collection would get published somewhere. Co-partner of Salon Pure Daniel Benoit recently recounted to me that Salon Pure does plenty of shoots, and the key factor for them is always to have fun and explore their creative side. He said they love to compete, but the shoots are more about exploring the creativity and other benefits of working as a team. Salon Magazine sends out over 250 CDs of the winning Contessa collections to consumer and trade media around the world every year. It is part of our commitment to the Contessas and to you, our competitors. We feel it’s beneficial to spread the word about who is making waves in Canada’s beauty industry—we want to promote Canadian talent. When we chose the cover for Salon Magazine’s French edition, the 2008 Contessa collector’s issue, we had already sent the 250 CDs to the media. We were delighted and surprised to discover that the publication HairColor & Design liked the same image as well and chose it for their cover. But we were absolutely shocked and even more delighted for Vadacchino when we got the winter edition of Estetica USA and saw that they had chosen the same image. This just demonstrates my point about competing and where it can take you. “Being a part of the winning salon team of the Contessas is amazing. To get one cover for that would be fantastic for the team,” says Vadacchino. “My image, photographed by Ara Sassoonian, got the cover of three magazines because of the exposure of Salon Magazine’s initiative for the Contessas. I was astonished by the power of the Contessas. I have been getting calls from all over because of it.” The time is now to do your research and plan your collections for the 20th anniversary of the Contessas, folks. You never know where it will take you. See the entry form opposite page 50 in this issue or go to www.salon52.ca for forms and photographer lists. And once again, the Contessas would not be possible without the support of our valued sponsors. For the 20th anniversary edition we have American Crew, Beauty Systems Group, CND, Collega for Aveda, Elevate magazine, Farouk Systems, International Beauty Services, ISO, John Paul Mitchell Systems, Joico, KMS California, LCN Canada, L’Oréal Professionnel, Marvel School of Beauty, Matrix, Quantum, Milano Computer Systems Inc, Redken Canada, Salon Magazine, salon52.ca, Schwarzkopf Professional and Venus Beauty Supplies. —SP

orn in Saint-Tropez, France, in 1922, Louis Alexandre Raimon began his hairstyling career in Cannes at the age of 16. He apprenticed under and quickly became the “premier garçon” of Antoine de Paris. Alexandre’s popularity grew as he created styles for such high-profile clients as Bagum Aga Khan and the Duchess of Windsor. And it was through his friendship with the Duchess that Alexandre met hundreds of other influential clients. In 1952, he co-opened a salon on Rue du Faubourg St-Honoré in Paris with Rosy and Maria Carita, founders of Carita. Five years later, he opened his own salon on the same street. In addition to styling such celebrities as Greta Garbo, Sophia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor, Princess Grace and Audrey Hepburn, Alexandre was sought after by haute couture design houses like Yves St. Laurent, Chanel, Givenchy, Dior and Lagerfeld. His ability to blend high fashion and hair styling made Alexandre a master of “haute coiffure.” During the course of his career, Alexandre became a symbol of French chic. In 1971, he created a collection of luxury accessories. In 1982, he opened a second salon in Paris. His name appeared on boutiques in Paris, Hong Kong and Melbourne throughout the 1990s. Alexandre’s talent was recognized with several awards, including two French “Oscars de la Monde” in 1963 and 1969. He was president of the World Federation of Hairdressing from 1978 to 1993. In 2005, Alexandre de Paris finally retired in southern France after more than 65 years in the business. The wisdom and skill of “le Sphinx de la Coiffure” as Alexandre was nicknamed by close friend John Cocteau, have left a permanent mark on the world of hairstyling.—AM

Branding You
Helping you put your best foot forward The dictionary describes the word “maven” as a person who knows all about a certain subject. That’s why Kathleen Clinckemaillie chose the name Maven Group for her recently launched company, which caters to the beauty industry. “We are an online creative media company for the industry in which I have spent 17 years of my working life,” says Clinckemaillie. “We help educate and motivate individuals on what it takes to stand alone as a brand, so they can represent themselves better to a manufacturer, distributor, client or anyone who wants to know more about them. We do this mainly through video production and on-camera training and our website. We get them comfortable in front of the camera and in public

presentation skills, and we also empower them to recognize their full potential personally and professionally. We give them a portfolio that helps them advance their career and their personal values.” In the course of her career in the beauty industry, Clinckemaillie has developed a solid base of expertise that serves as a foundation for her new venture. She has already worked on projects with many of Joico’s artists and with John Steinberg, to name a few. Clinckemaillie’s company offers professional services including brand awareness campaigns, education, distribution development programs, leadership development, co-op marketing programs and more.

tarting this month, Joico has three new answers for salon professionals looking to help their clients feel their youthful best. Targeting the boomer market, the re:nu Age Defy line represents a whole new system of care and styling and features the innovative Re:nual Serum, which that actually slows down and begins the reversal of the greying process in hair. A first-of-its kind formula, the Re:nual Serum is formulated with Japanese sansho pepper, a key ingredient inhibiting the development of grey—the number-one sign of aging hair. It also creates an optimal environment for the growth of healthier, shinier, more youthful hair. “With initial regular use of Re:nual Serum, clients can expect stronger, healthier-feeling and looking hair in two to six weeks and fewer new grey hairs in two to four months,” says Melisa Gill, director of marketing for Joico. “An actual reduction in grey hair and a gradual restoration of natural hair colour can occur after six months,” she adds. In addition, the re:nu line features two distinct regimens for at-home hair care. The Softness and Manageability System for coarse, dull hair includes a restorative shampoo and hydrating conditioner for revived manageability and shine, and a primer that nourishes hair with amino acids and seals in additional moisture. The Fullness and Body System for fine, fragile hair has a Pre-Shampoo Treatment that energizes hair and a shampoo that gently cleanses as it stimulates the scalp and hair. A primer completes the system, serving as a powerful body booster that restores fullness and bounce for easy-to-style, soft texture.

Joico introduces innovative new products for an age-obsessed population By Stephen Puddister
The re:nu Age Defy system also includes a collection of advanced styling formulas for all hair types and a Controlling Crème, a Bodifying Lotion, a Volumizing Foam and a Styling & Finishing Spray. And for a total assault on grey and the signs of aging, Joico is also introducing the new Vero K-PAK Color Age Defy Series of colour. Pros know that when hair goes grey it also changes texture—becoming coarse, wiry and unruly. It also loses its lustre, reflecting less light than pigmented hair. This line addresses all three dimensions of change in greying hair. The comprehensive 3-Defense Technology and Quadramine Complex in the new Vero K-PAK Color Age Defy Series restores silky, manageable texture, revives lustre and vibrancy and renews colour with lasting grey coverage. What’s more, each formula reconstructs hair’s structure for optimal health and condition. Available in 15 shades and three palettes—Natural, Copper Gold and Natural Red—the Vero K-PAK Color Age Defy Series gives colourists the range and options to offer every grey-coverage client a solution.

n a bold marketing manoeuvre that is fast becoming a trend, Redken Canada is taking the plunge by going to the place where lots of men love to hang out—at youtube.com. Filmed to coincide with the launch this month of Redken For Men’s new mint-infused technology three-product line (shampoo, conditioner and leave-in treatment), the two-and-a-half-minute film stars the new highly addictive shampoo in some interesting office shenanigans. Anne-Laure Quémard, product manager for Redken For Men, says “It’s hard to reach the consumer directly with professional brands, and men are generally less apt to notice ads than women. Our goal was to find a different way of reaching them. With the popularity of the Internet, and the YouTube site in particular, it’s the perfect way to launch a viral campaign.” The production company she hired to do this low-budget initiative is Actaeon, out of Montreal. Owner Darren Curtis helped develop the campaign with Quémard, and he himself is in the demographic of the consumer Redken is trying to reach. Quémard says, “We brought in the models, rented an office building for the weekend and used a friend’s bathroom for part of the shoot. It was all done in a day. This was strictly a Canadian initiative, but because there are no spoken roles in the video, it works for any market.” Check it out at www.salon52.ca or www.youtube.com.—SP

Mirella Rota Sementilli speaks about her Contessa 19 collection Edited by Morella Aguirre
T
his collection is a definite departure
for me. Because I’ve been involved in a lot of world championships, my style for competing is very technical and highly precise. But for this collection I wanted to go beyond that and create looks that were not perfect. I wanted the hair to be soft and free and fall where it wanted to fall. My choice to work with long hair derived from my love of fashion and my work at the salon. The idea was to capture that Victoria’s Secret hair that’s both beautiful and consumer-friendly. The colours I chose were designed to be feminine and enhance the soft texture of each hairstyle. The style of the collection’s wardrobe, makeup and photos reflect the theme. My photographer, Babak, slightly blurred portions of the images to help build on the idea of softness. Giancarlo Intini, my makeup artist, used pale colours to create a delicate face. The wardrobe, much of which I again reinforced my underlying idea.

ith Colin Ford, director of education and events, as presenter, L’Oréal Professionnel launched its first Unique 08 show in Toronto on February 11 at the Liberty Grand at Exhibition Place. To a packed crowd, the show opened with a presentation from Salon Pure, Contessa 2008 Canadian salon team of the year, from Montreal. Matthew Collins and Brennen DeMelo took the crowd through a presentation for fashion-forward youth featuring the Playball styling line, while Susan Hayward introduced the audience to LuoFresh colour, which is launching later this year. L’Oréal speaker and professional motivator Tanya Chernova gave a very thought-provoking seminar on maximizing profits for your salon, with lots of easy-to-adapt tips for stylists and salon owners to start using back in the salon. Heather Wenman, multiple Contessa winner and founder of Studio-H in London, Ontario, introduced the crowd to the recently launched L’Oréal Homme line of care, styling and colour products. After a sit-down luncheon, there was a presentation on Hairdressers Against AIDS, a L’Oréal philanthropic initiative this year. Then the afternoon led with Peter Salituro, Shawn Beaudry and Rino Balzano, who took everyone through L’Oréal’s cut and style collection H3, while Toronto’s own Salon Daniel team showcased the trends. The day wrapped with a lively presentation by Guy Kremer, international artist from the UK, who gave a much-appreciated hairdressing salute to the late, great Alexandre de Paris.

fter receiving a complaint from Farouk Systems Group and launching an investigation in March 2007, the RCMP recently seized 4,500 counterfeit Chi flatirons near Quebec City. Although no arrests had been made at press time, an investigation into this counterfeit ring is still ongoing. Farouk’s initial lead in the case came from Guay Beauté sales manager Mario Turcotte. “We received a call from one of our customers who had unknowingly purchased a fake Chi iron from eBay for about $28. It only worked for a few days and then died,” says Turcotte. “We made an arrangement with the client, offering an authentic Chi iron in return for all the receipts and paperwork from her online purchase.” Turcotte then contacted Farouk Systems Group.
By Morella Aguirre “The only way a consumer can be assured of getting an authentic Farouk Systems product is to purchase from an authorized distributor,” says Bobbi Mihal, general council for Farouk. “Farouk Systems does not authorize online sales, and no authorized distributor offers Farouk Systems products online.” Since a wide variety of characteristics determine a product’s authenticity, consumers may not be able to tell the difference between a real Chi and cheap imitation on visual inspection. But in case you’re getting paranoid, we’ll point out just a few characteristics that show this Chi GF 1001, Farouk’s original ceramic iron, is the real deal. S

Professionnel’s spring/summer 2008 colour collection celebrates the magic of the performance world. Inspired by two muses—the Dancer and the Acrobat—it depicts a delicate but bold vision for the season, one that makes strong statements in colour, cut and texture. Three softly lit photos showing refined and graphic hairstyles personify the Dancer. Featuring LP’s Majirel colour, these photographs work with the holy trinity of hair colour: a pale blonde showcases beautifully on long, straight hair and blunt bangs; a deep brown is anchored on a chic shoulder-length bob; voluminous curls show off radiant copper red.

Madam Chairman Jason Kearns takes us Beyond the Chair Te x t b y M o r e l l a A g u i r r e
J
ust as his photographs display a trademark style, Jason Kearns’s creative process is highly personalized. He is a tremendously meticulous
artist, taking his time to source the perfect prop, the right model and the ideal artists with whom to collaborate. It’s common for Kearns to take years developing a collection, thinking and rethinking themes and objectives as he strives for beautiful and timeless photographs. But despite the planning and preparation, Kearns always leaves room for a dash of creative impulse. Hairstyling, for example, is never pre-determined, but rather worked out on-set when all other elements have come together. This, he says, is the reason his photos transcend typical hair photography, because rather than working from the hair out, he balances hair into a well thought-out concept. For his latest collection, Beyond the Chair, Kearns added another element into the creative mix, his new protégé, Erika Pucci. Although Pucci had only been working at Kearns’s Toronto salon for six weeks prior to shooting, the creative connection between both artists was obvious from the start. “I could really feel Erika’s passion,” explains Kearns. “For me, to act as mentor and educator, I really need to see results for the salon, for myself and for the protégé. I’ve got to see the enthusiasm—we have to be able to feed off each other creatively.” Although the partnership between Kearns and Pucci is still young, its results are strong, as seen here in Beyond the Chair. As a collection, this is definitely one of Kearns’s most consumer-friendly. It’s imaginative and bears his signature style; and it’s proof that Kearns, now an official To view this entire collection, go to www.salon52.ca.

Harmoniously Opposed Goldwell’s new Trend Zoom 08, the Contra Collection Te x t b y S t e p h e n P u d d i s t e r
NEWSTALGIA is inspired by a nostalgic reflection of the Golden 20s upgraded with modern, purist elements. The colour schemes express a luxurious aesthetique and an artful ambience through contrasting use of matte browns, gold, jade, neo-classical red and champagne blondes blended and placed together with deluxe shine.
T
aking inspiration from the 20s with such elements
as the Charleston and the opulence of the baroque period, Goldwell’s Trend Zoom 08 team has married the Trend Worlds of Rockmantic and Newstalgia to create a beautiful contradiction.

Marca College teams up with L’Oréal Professionnel
T
he newest Marca College campus in Mississauga, Ontario officially opened its doors in December of last year. In a departure for the college, this state-of-the-art, 11,000 square foot facility was created in partnership with mega manufacturer, L’Oréal Professionnel. “It’s the first time we’ve partnered with a manufacturer, but a vision I’ve had for a while,” says Joe Chimenti, founder and president of Marca schools. “Our goal is to ensure our students are the best, and L’Oréal Professionnel has excellent educational programs.” Dominic Tremblay, brand director for LP, agrees in the strength of the partnership. “L’Oréal Professionnel believes in education. So it’s only natural for us to be part of every hairstylist’s development at every stage of their learning journey.” The campus, which accommodates up to 400 students per semester, is patterned on an actual salon. “It’s a realistic salon environment with a colour bar, spa and retail area,” says campus director Cheri Medica. There is also major focus on enhancing student’s people skills. “We want them to be able to talk with their clients about what products they are using and what techniques they are doing,” adds Chimenti. In addition, L’Oréal Professionnel and affiliate brand Matrix offer regular professional development days for campus educators. “It’s good for staff morale,” says Medica. “They benefit from advanced educational programs without having to take time away from their personal lives.” It’s a win-win situation for both Marca and LP. “The school and its students will benefit from the strong support of our organization at every level,” says Tremblay. “And Marca College is a great opportunity to demonstrate what we do to help support the development of hairstylists and our industry.” For more on Marca College, including info on its two Toronto locations visit www.marcacollege.ca.

Whether you’re giving a facial or a manicure, these signs will help you identify hidden health concerns your clients may have. By Chantel Simmons
Sign Language nails
Sign: Soft, brittle, Splitting or white banDS on nailS “These conditions are often an indication of a mineral or vitamin deficiency,” says Dr. Joey Shulman, nutritionist and author of The Last 15 and The Natural Makeover Diet. Here’s what to look for. Lack of: Protein, folic acid and vitamin C = hangnails Vitamin A and calcium = dryness and brittleness Lack of vitamin B12 = splitting and discolouration Protein = white bands Zinc = white spots Liquids (including water) = cuts and cracks Essential fatty acids or poor metabolism = red skin around cuticles “A multi-vitamin and multi-mineral (such as Genuinie Health multi+complete) can help clear up some deficiencies,” says Dr. Shulman. In addition, she suggests adding a daily fish oil supplement to your regime.
lips Sign: Dry, chappeD lipS “Dry, chapped lips are often a sign of dehydration,” explains Dr. Shulman. Drink eight glasses of water, herbal tea or watered-down juice a day and add water-rich foods to the diet (such as watermelon, watercress, cucumbers, grapefruits and tomatoes). “For immediate relief, you can puncture a vitamin E oil capsule and apply directly to your lips for a natural lip balm.”

eyes Sig n: Dark u n De r-eye ci rcleS “Many people assume dark circles are due to fatigue,” explains Dr. Shulman. “There are several possible causes, such as genetics, fluid retention, allergies, dehydration and iron deficiency.” Some natural options to reverse darkness include drinking plenty of water and getting plenty of rest, applying cold compresses (teabags or cucumbers) to the under-eye area and avoiding salt. “Eating high antioxidant foods such as blueberries, black currants, onions, legumes, parsley and green tea can also help to strengthen blood vessels under the eyes,” says Dr. Shulman.
Sign: conStant puffy eyeS “Constant puffy eyes can be a sign of a food allergy or sensitivity,” says Dr. Shulman. She suggests swapping inflammatory foods such as dairy, red meat, alcohol, refined flours and sugars and deep-fried foods for anti-inflammatory foods (colourful fruits and vegetables, whole grains, essential fats found in cold-water fish and nuts). A high-quality, distilled fish oil supplement (Genuine Health o3mega+ glow, which also contains anti-inflammatory vitamin C and bilberry) can help reduce inflammation. Drinking at least eight glasses of water a day will also help. S

PoP Quiz! How much do you really know about sanitation? Take our test and find out.
Q: What is the most common type of infection transmitted through nail services? A: According to Doug Schoon’s Nail Structure and Product Chemistry (Second Edition), bacterial infections of the nail plate and the surrounding skin are the most common. Look out for light yellow to dark green stains, separated nail plates, swelling, warmth, redness or tenderness of the skin around the nail. “Bacterial infection may also be found on the leg after a pedicure,” writes Schoon, so aside from properly cleaning all your pedi equipment, ask your clients to skip the shave before their appointment.
Q: Which is the most hygienic option, a one-time-use disposable file or a nonporous glass file? A: “So long as glass files are well cleaned and disinfected after every client, they are just as hygienic as one-time-use disposable files,” says Cuccio. “Both have their benefits in our industry.” Q: Define the term “sanitation.” A: “Sanitation is the proper and thorough cleaning of an object or surface,” states Schoon. Washing our hands with soap and water, for instance, is a common and effective example of sanitation. “Proper washing removes up to 99 per cent of all the pathogens and other contaminants from a surface. This is why cleaning is so important at a salon.” Q: What’s the difference between disinfection and sterilization? A: “Disinfection is a process that kills the small number of pathogens remaining on a surface after sanitizing,” writes Schoon. “In a salon, it’s best achieved with liquid disinfectants such as alcohol, a 10 per cent bleach solution or professionally formulated disinfection products.” A highly resistant from of bacteria, called spores, can only be killed through sterilization, which uses very high temperatures and pressurized steam to kill pathogens. Typically, autoclaves are used to sterilize. Sterilization is therefore almost identical to disinfection, with the only difference being its ability to kill spores. Q: Which is more critical for a nail salon, disinfection or sterilization? A: Disinfection. According to Suzi Weiss-Fischman and Schoon, disinfection is sufficient for a salon environment. Spores are not a concern at salons, as they are in hospital operating rooms. It’s critically important to remember that you cannot disinfect a surface or object until it has first been properly cleaned. “Disinfection is not a replacement for cleaning,” states Schoon. S

Q: Can bacteria, viruses or fungus live in cuticle oil? A: No, says OPI executive VP and artistic director Suzi Weiss-Fischman. “Microbres cannot live in oil—they need water to multiply,” she explains. In order to ensure that your cuticle oil remains pure and pristine, Weiss-Fischman recommends using a dropper for application and making sure only drops of oil come in contact with your client’s skin. Tony Cuccio, founder and president of Cuccio Naturalé, adds that applying an antibacterial sanitizer on your hands before massaging in the oil is also a good idea.

or most, winning the fiercely competitive inaugural Goldwell Trend Zoom Color Challenge—and scoring four European trips out of the deal—would rank as a career climax. But for Newfoundland’s Cindy Hudson, who placed first as Global Creative Colorist in the Berlin-based competition after recreating live on stage the steely, futuristic look initially inspired by ornaments on her Christmas tree—and besting dozens of other contestants from 26 countries—the win is just the latest dividend in a career investment gone right. april 08 < salon

PROFILE Hair: Cindy Hudson Makeup: Veronica Chu Photos: Doug McMillan
Of course, The Hair Factory stylist/colourist would argue it was much more than that—Hudson is nothing if not effusive about the business. She would note that, in addition to a lifetime of bragging rights and some pretty swell stamps in the passport, the win also means she will join an elite international roster of others who will now design the Goldwell Trend Zoom 2009 Collection launching this October in Valencia, Spain. She’d also allow that the win, the latest in a host of competitions Hudson has successfully entered over the past nine years, “has brought a lot of excitement into my life. It’s a different take on the business altogether, and it’s really opened my eyes.” When you consider that Hudson entered the hair biz at an age when most stylists are pondering RRSPs—a relatively old 30, and despite her single mom status and a solid job in the engineering world—the Goldwell victory is the clearest confirmation yet that Hudson’s gutsy decision to follow her heart was absolutely correct. “I had been working at an engineering company doing secretarial and

administrative stuff, but also sales and reading blueprints. But I wanted to do something more creative, so for three years starting in 1996 I also worked part-time at a hair salon,” Hudson explains by phone from St. John’s. “I had always been interested in hair and makeup, but as a child I had quite severe asthma, so the idea of working around chemicals wasn’t really an option for me. “When I took on the part-time job, I was mostly shampooing. Then one day the boss trusted me to do some colour on a model. I didn’t even know what panels were at the time, but I did it and it worked out beautifully. And by that time the chemicals had improved and my asthma had eased off, so it wasn’t an issue.” Hudson continues: “After three years, I was burned out working two jobs, especially as a single mother (son Matthew is now 18), so I had to make a choice. And even though my boss at the engineering company offered me shares to try and persuade me not to leave, I knew I had to go into hair.” Hairstyling school was followed in short order by a slew of provincial competitions (15, by Hudson’s reckoning) and myriad national challenges, including several Contessa bouts. Hudson admits the competitions may have been a subconscious effort to prove her chops as a latecomer to the field. “I have a lot of drive,” she says. “So many people in this business become complacent and get stuck in a rut. I think passion is such a big part of it. You have to be passionate and you have to find it within yourself to be successful. “Anybody can be successful. You just have to think you can do it and believe in yourself, you know? I love working behind the chair, but I don’t want to always do that. I just want to grow and do what I can do within this business and surround myself with people who strive to be bigger and better.” S

alk through the front doors off busy Yonge Street and you might think you’re in a cozy home. With its plush leather chairs and gas fireplace, Axcess Salon & Spa makes you feel relaxed. “Axcess Salon is home away from home,” laughs owner Rocco Campanaro. The four-time Contessa winner, including 2003 Canadian hairstylist of the year, says, “The waiting area is where clients get a first impression.” Campanaro opened his brand new location just one year ago, after an above-the-market-price rent increase convinced him to find another site. “It seems that landlords take us for granted ,especially when we are successful,” says Campanaro. “Since I had to renovate, I found a bigger and better location at the right value.” It’s an open and spacious area with a 35-foot ceiling featuring a skylight window. Halfway up the wall, a set-back shows off a row of large green plants. Hanging over the main desk is a massive avant-garde chandelier that attracts your attention. Behind the desk, a wooden staircase leads to the spa. From the second floor, you can look over the railing at the entire reception area with its makeup centre and retail product displays. Campanaro shows great delight in the salon’s creative room—the colour area. He points out the pièce de résistance—the colour bar. A client sits on one of five stools around the bar sipping a complimentary cappuccino while a technician goes behind the bar to pick the colour from the large display case above. “Just as a bartender would reach for a glass, we reach for the colour,” adds Campanaro. The bar helps disguise the mess created by mixing bowls, especially after a busy day. On the wall behind the bar, a plasma flat screen television plays promotional videos. Along the wall are portable hairdryers and two Climezons used very frequently. “The Climezons cut down the amount of time it takes to colour, highlight, perm or condition the hair,” claims Campanaro. “These days clients run on a tight schedule.” So much so, he put a client station in the corner for customers to blow-dry and style their own hair after a colour service. “If they don’t want to pay the extra money to have a professional do it, we show them how. These clients appreciate knowing how to do their own hair.” In the cutting room, there are eight stations in the centre, with four chairs on each side sharing a mirror. On the right side of the mirror, a glass shelf juts out holding beverages. A hook on the left side holds the client’s purse. Above each chair is a large diffused light using compact fluorescent bulbs. Campanaro can’t help but promote saving the environment. Every station has a movable trolley holding styling tools that connect to electrical outlets on the floor. Against the cutting room walls are retail shelves. Stylists can easily reach for products they are using on their clientsand do the take-home lesson. “The benefit for the client is using the right products to get the same great results at home, but at the same time, it’s extra money in our pockets.” S Name of Salon:

I
have never been a great believer in astrology or reincarnation, but some time ago one of my clients wanted to do my chart and also delve into my past lives. My client was very serious about this endeavour and insisted on having my exact time of birth. I had to ask my elder sister for some help with that detail, even though I was there at the time. To my surprise, the chart was quite interesting, but paled in comparison to the revelation that in a past life I was a hairdresser in the court of one of the most remarkable monarchs in history, Louis XIV of France. (Louis the14th for those of us a bit hazy on our Roman numerals.) Louis lived from 1638 to 1715. His fascination with Apollo, the Greek god of the sun, made him known as “the Sun King.” A great believer in the benefits of excess, Louis had two wives (not concurrently), many mistresses and multiple children. Ten thousand people lived in his newly constructed, breathtaking palace at Versailles, which came complete with 1,500 fountains in the most extensive gardens the Western world has ever seen. He was also hardworking and a massive patron of the arts, encouraging an extraordinary blossoming of theatre, ballet, music, architecture, painting, sculpture, the sciences—and fashion. The whole idea in Louis’s clever mind was to make himself the centre of France, and France the centre of the world. He succeeded to such a degree that his country is still regarded as foremost in luxurious living and chic. Court life at Versailles entailed lavish magnificence. Courtiers constantly attended balls, dinners, performances and celebrations, dressed in unparallelled splendour. In today’s terms, men’s court fashions cost around $5,000 each, while women’s came in at around $15,000. Jewellery (diamonds were big) could cost as much as a cool half-million. These prices were steep, even for the high-heeled nobility, and many had to depend on Louis for grants and subsidies. And just to make sure everyone was on the same page stylewise, Louis opened Versailles to the public several days a week. Crowds came out from Paris to admire Europe’s finest artworks and to watch the king’s family having supper. Entry was

free—provided you were appropriately dressed. Fashion demanded that men wear a sword, which, thoughtfully, you could rent at the gate. This fashion frenzy, the likes of which the world had never seen, gave birth to a new profession: “coiffeur.” The word was invented to describe the work of the hair star known as “le sieur (Monsieur) Champagne.” Champagne could work miracles, styling women’s hair more inventively than anyone had ever thought possible. Women began to panic, because he changed hairstyles along with the fashion seasons Louis introduced, which we now take for granted. And just as this era brought high-fashion boutiques into existence, Champagne’s success launched the hair salon. By the end of the century, in addition to making house calls for their favourite clients, all the renowned hairdressers had salons. Not to be outdone by the women, men sported immense curled wigs. As a child, Louis had beautiful hair that fell in curls to his shoulders, and to imitate this, his courtiers wore false hair. As he grew older and balder, Louis adopted curled wigs and appointed 48 royal wigmakers in 1655. Wigs immediately became status symbols of one’s importance at court and then became compulsory in the last 25 years of the century. Bigger was better. The exaggeratedly long and full curls sometimes covered the chest and back right down to the waist. Then men’s wigs began to imitate the development of women’s updos, towering so high that they had to carry their dashing hats, ornamented with long, sweeping plumes, in their hand. Imagine how happily busy I must have been in such an environment. No wonder I’ve always had such a fascination for clothing and style, but I wish I remembered how to speak the language.
