We Can Do More

’ve always been interested in eco-friendly issues. I’ll recycle when I can and I relish taking public transportation and walking as much as possible. I always figured I did pretty well. But as I delved into our April issue, talking to salons about what they are doing to be more earth-friendly, my mind turned to my own habits. How much trash am I responsible for producing? Where can I reduce what I’m using in the first place? And how can I do a job better recycling? Should that apple core really go in the trash when I could compost, instead? The facts I came across in writing these articles showed me how much we, as Canadians, are throwing away each year—an average of 418 kg per person—despite a great deal of access to recycling programs. When I talked to salon owner Jennifer Vanderleij of Clover Earthkind Salon in Vancouver I was shocked to find out that, as a business, she and her staff only threw away 20 kg of trash last year. That’s it! If they can do it, I can certainly reduce my own number. This line of thinking is fairly common. Some of the owners I spoke with for this issue mentioned that by introducing changes in their salons, they also bring awareness to their clients, who carry the habits over into their own lives. Simply by walking the walk and talking the talk these beauty pros are going beyond their own individual efforts to effect an even bigger change. It’s yet another example of how hairstylists make an impact on more than just a person’s hair. You lead by example, and we’re so fortunate to be in an industry with so many great, inspiring leaders.

Travel Souvenirs

ducation getaways are growing in popularity as hundreds of Canadian stylists are flocking to the sunny south for a little E&R (education and relaxation). It’s a great way to network with other stylists from across Canada, get some tax advantages and hang out with your favorite guest artists. I’ve been on a few of these trips and there’s no doubt—they’re fun. The education seminars being offered are pretty impressive. Recently on a Joico/ ISO cruise there was an “all star” team of talent that included Damien Carney, Sue Pemberton, George Papanikolas, Ben Mollin and Sonya Landon. The seminars are organized to give attendees a variety of education, from simple techniques and tricks to avant garde looks for inspiration. Tabatha Coffey, of the TV show, Tabatha’s Salon Takeover, did an amazing class with a focus on building your own brand, which I thought was spot on. It was my first time seeing her and I was impressed with her wit, candor, humility and great perspective. Education on trips like these can be tremendously beneficial since they pack in so much good information. Plus, seminars spread out over a few days in a relaxing environment makes it all easily digestible. While it’s great to take advantage of a fabulous trip to the Caribbean or a weekend in Chicago for America’s Beauty Show, do make sure you're coming back with more than just a tan or an incredible pair of shoes. One way to ensure this happens is to set a goal for yourself. Decide that you will write down and bring back three tricks or tips to implement in the salon and share with your fellow stylists at home. Compare notes with other stylists on the trip over a glass of wine. Most of all, take some time to reflect on what you’ve learned and bring it back with you! I’ve always loved the statement, “the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.” If you’re feeling like you’re in a bit of a rut and want to put some new energy into your salon and career, consider jumping on board one of these trips and getting rejuvenated!

Leave colour-treated hair better than you found it with the new Redken Chromatics

ntegrating protein science into hair colour, the Redken Chromatics Prismatic Permanent Colour line fortifies hair for two times greater strength than hair that is non-coloured. The new colour is proof of how technologically advanced hair colour is becoming. The formula is long-lasting, ammonia-free—with no odour—and it processes in 35 minutes with 100 per cent grey coverage. Finally, an oil delivery system propels the dyes, while surrounding and coating the hair. “Technology is changing the way we do services. Colour is more gentle on the hair, and there are more options for other chemical services. And the shine is unsurpassed,” says Terry Ritcey, national education director for Redken Canada. The 48 shades, divided into eight different colour categories, include a clear shade to allow stylists to create variations on existing shades. The multidimensional reflect means colour is not flat or opaque. “In the salon environment, it’s very comfortable for the stylist and the guests,” says Ritcey of the ammonia-free formula. “You can have 10 colours going at the same time, and you will smell nothing.” Check out the new line in person when it launches April 1 at the Toronto ABA.

2. The Pureology bottles are the first L’Oréal Professional Products Division brand to use FDAapproved, post-consumer recycled HDP resin, which results in containers that are completely fragrance-free. “It preserves the freshness of the concentrated formula, so when you open the bottle, you only smell the ingredients in the fragrance,” says Alain Laroche, director of business development for Pureology Canada. 3. Inside the bottle, you’ll find the same 100 per cent vegan, botanical ingredients. “It’s really just continuing to embrace sustainability, which is one of our core values,” says Laroche, of the redesign. 4. Rather than the long-necked bottles of before, the new containers have more shelf impact, with an ergonomic, modern design. The shorter, zero-waste neck allows consumers to avoid wasting product.

air was cool and modern when Salon Magazine got a sneak-peak at Tressa’s photo shoot for its 2012 collection at The Big T’zz in Brampton, Ont. Drawing inspiration from the ‘60s, the three-person creative team— platform artist Shannon Tully, creative director Alvin Charchuck and director of education Scarlet Hudson—came up with modern interpretations of retro looks. The concept behind their collection is fashion-forward but commercial, with an all-year wearability that can be slightly modified through the seasons. The stylists also used products from Tressa’s newly revamped styling line, available in April 2012. Tully used colour blocking to achieve a colour contrast for a red sweetheart bang set against a jet-black shoulder-length cut. Charchuck created geometric lines on a Twiggy-esque bob, feathered out with bronze highlights on a white-metallic blonde. The third look is long, using three different shades of coppery, cool reds, selectively streaked through the hair. According to Hudson, “the fringe is a musthave in the collection, because of the way it highlights the eyes in each look.”

Magic Wands These three simple rods will change the way you curl hair. • TwiddleStics come in three sizes to create everything from spiral curls to big, beachy waves. • Curling rods absorb all the heat from the hair, keeping curls cool. • No product or setting agent needed to keep curls in. • Can use with any flatiron.

• Once you learn the technique for creating the curls, it takes no more time than a normal curling iron would. • Will curl and hold in difficult-tostyle hair. • TwiddleStics nest inside each other to save space, while travelling for platform work or hair shoots.

Tip... Once hair is wrapped around the stic, as you apply the iron, give the stic a half turn each time. You’ll smooth down the cuticle and create great shine.

You’ll love... The hair instantly sets since it remains cool. The only way to get the curls out is to wash the hair.

ive years ago, British hairstylist and educator Gary Sunderland went off fishing with his son. When his son got angry at losing a fish, he threw down his carbon fishing rod, leaving it in the sun with the nylon fishing line wrapped around it. Sunderland unwound it awhile later to discover that the nylon curled up perfectly. He sacrificed the fishing pole to experiment. “I cut up sections of it and tried it on a mannequin head and it worked fantastically to create curls,” he says. “We went from there to creating samples.” It took three years to find the perfect combination of glass fibre, carbon, tourmaline crystals and PBT, a heat-retardant material, which now makes up the Doll TwiddleStics. Since launching late

last summer, the tools have made quite a splash. Not only at trade shows, where stylists have crowded the booth, but also on movie sets, including Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and X-Men: First Class. The innovation hasn’t stopped, either. Doll has also recently launched the QuickDry Brush, the world’s first carbon fibre round barrel brush, which dries hair 50 per cent faster than a typical brush. The WonderStyler, an ergonomically designed flat iron that actually sits on the hand, doesn’t have to be picked up or put down. “Everything that Doll has done, or will do in the future, is to bring products to the market that benefit owners and stylists and works for the hair,” says Sunderland.

Four Canadian women lend their star power to a new product line

hen Montreal-based Hair Treats went looking for models for the launch of its new StyleID product line, it didn’t turn to an agency. Instead the company selected four real women, based in Toronto and Montreal—with interesting stories, lives and personal style—to spread the message. The result is four fabulous, fashion-forward images that mark the start of the campaign. “They have substance, they’re active on the social scene and each has her own reach within her field of expertise,” says Tina Christopoulos, brand director of Hair Treats. “They are normal girls with interesting lives that require them to look good and be polished. Each of the girls’ styles in the images was achieved with a hero product from the new line.” The nine products in the StyleID line include Moisture Shampoo, Intense Conditioner, Potion +, Quick Dry Smoothing Lotion and Quick Dry Volume Spray to reduce styling time, Therma Shine Spray to protect, Frizz-Free Serum and Fiber Texture Cream for styling. A real star is Prep Spray, a universal product that can be used on any hair type, works will all products in the line and contains speed-drying ingredients and acts as a primer for the hair. You can find out more about the women and their experiences with StyleID by going to Twitter.com/Hair_Treats.

The Path to a Greener Salon Easy changes you can make right now to be more earth-friendly

salon > april 12

Switch Your Cleaning Materials Get rid of chemical-filled cleaning products. At Toronto’s worldSALON, owner Brian Phillips says that they use a non-chemical citrus solution or vinegar and water for cleaning, plus rubbing alcohol for sterilizing. “That’s all we use to clean the salon. That cuts out a lot of toxicity in the environment.”

Start a Refill Program Entice your clients to recycle their shampoo bottles by bringing them back to the salon for a refill. At Earth Salon in Toronto, customers save 15 to 20 per cent when they bring back their bottles. “We refill from the litre bottles at the back of the salon,” says owner Michael Crispel. “To fill the bottle is cheaper than replacing a bottle on my shelf. Not every client is going to do it, but it builds an awareness and every little bit helps.”

Recycle Your Foils When Aqua Beauty Salon and Day Spa in Aurora, Ont., decided two years ago that they wanted to become green, the staff started simply. “We just started recycling foils,” says Melissa Sallese, one of the owners. “Then, that led to eventually recycling hair, then tubes and plastics.” Jennifer Vanderleij, owner of Clover Earthkind Hair Salon in Vancouver, says that if you want to make a change, this is a good place to start. “Highlighting foils are one of the worst,” she says. “It’s hundred of kilograms a year.”

Phase Out Plastic Bags According to UrbanImpact.com, a B.C.-based workplace recycling company, Canadians take home more than 55 million plastic bags each week. Help reduce that number by getting rid of plastic bags for retail products. At Earth Salon, Crispel is looking at offering canvas retail bags with the salon logo. “Clients can purchase the bag, and when they do we’ll make a donation to an environmental charity. Then, every time they bring the bag back, we’ll give them a discount on their purchase.”

Banish Paper From business cards and service menus to appointment books and flyers offering the latest promotions, salons can use a lot of paper. At Earth Salon, they have cut their business cards in half—literally—to save paper and dye. They also don’t print the price list or menu, instead referring clients to their website or offering to email it to the client’s smartphone. For walk-ins, they will print it as needed. “It brings down my costs, and clients love the idea,” says Crispel. They also send promotions with barcodes through email and clients can either print it or just bring it in on their smartphone. t

Go Digital Get rid of the stacks of magazines lying around the salon. Although the outlay can be pricey, consider going digital with your magazine subscriptions. Alicia Austin, owner of Capelli Salon in Saskatoon, made this change in her salon, offering magazines to clients on iPads. (You can read more about her salon in this month’s “Interiors,” p. 80).

Install a Thermostat Even if you don’t own your salon space, you might still be able to make this change. By installing a programmable thermostat, you can set the temperature lower at night, when the salon is closed, and higher when it’s open. At worldSALON, they turn the thermostat to 14° C at night and up to 22° C during the day. According to the Kevin. Murphy Green.Salon online program, simply setting your thermostat two degrees (Fahrenheit) lower in the winter and two degrees higher in the summer, you could save $75 to $100 a year on your electricity bill.

Recycle Hair? Yes, you can!

... Stuffing for pillows Green Circle Salons and a group of volunteers created pillows using sterilized hair clippings, milk bags and fabric pillowcases. One day of effort created 110 pillows, bound for camps housing displaced Haitians.

... Mats for oil spills Hair attracts oil but

repels water—what better use to soak up oil after spills? Matter of Trust started an initiative to create mats from hair clippings after the spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

... Insulation in clothing Who would have

thought? Brian Phillips from worldSALON in Toronto created a worldWEAR prototype vest with clothing designer friend Susan Jonus. Stuffed with hair clippings, he says it’s exceptionally warm.

... Wildlife deterrent Jennifer Vanderleij of

Clover Earthkind Hair Salon in Vancouver offers hair clippings for free on Craigslist, with residents using them in their backyards to deter wildlife.

... Organic fertilizer SALO Environmental

Solutions and Green Circle Salons each have a process for turning hair clippings into organic fertilizer and an herbicide, respectively. Both are being studied by the University of Guelph.

... Eyewear According to Green Circle Salon,

a U.K. group has developed fashionable eyewear made from bioresin in hair for a material that is renewable, biodegradable and petroleum-free.

When you recycle, where does it go? Highlighting Foils Smelters melt the foils. The remaining material is used to make more aluminum products. SALO Environmental Solutions, which recycles foils, uses the melted material to make new highlighting foils that include 10 to 25 per cent recycled materials. Plastics Bottles are broken down by a local grinder, and the remaining material can be used to make new bottles. SALO’s goal is to eventually offer services to clean empty bottles and send them back to the original manufacturer, where they can be refilled—the bottle can then be considered 100 per cent recycled.

A Better Environment When you’re ready to invest, target these trouble areas to make big changes.

By Melissa HIll and Valerie Lam

Let There Be (Better) Light Ready to make your first material-change in the salon? Start with the lighting. Incandescent bulbs waste 90 per cent of the energy they use through heat, plus the new lighting systems for salons have become quite good, offering clear light and much less energy usage. There may even be government incentives available to you to help make the change. Michael Crispel, owner of Earth Salon in Toronto, took advantage of a program that offered a consultation on lighting, plus the first set of new lights for free. “The quality of lights is very conductive to working in the salon. Visually, esthetically, it doesn’t look different,” he says. “It has also reduced my energy bill by 10 to 30 per cent.” Brian Phillips of worldSALON in Toronto, who has switched to using LED lights in his salon, has gone from using 150 kilowatts a day to 35 kilowatts a day with his new system. Reduce Water Usage At Kevin Murphy’s Green.Salon (www.kevinmurphy.com.au/greensalon), a virtual online salon where you can make and see the impact of green changes, water usage is an area where easy fixes can be made. Two in particular cost almost nothing: Suggest that stylists turn off the tap while washing clients’ hair, and fix your leaking tap. Leaving a faucet running wastes 10 litres of water per minute, and by turning it off you can save up to 3,600 litres in a year. Secondly, fix the leak and save 2,400 litres of water a year. A bigger but more expensive change is upgrading to an energy- and water-efficient washing machine. It uses up to twothirds less water, or about 70 litres less per wash.

hile the upfront cost might be great, the payoff of making big energy-saving changes comes in the long run, as you save money on your energy and water bills. And you can give yourself a pat on the back, knowing that what you’re doing is also helping reduce your impact on the environment.

salonmagazine.ca

Use Less Energy If you own your salon’s location, you can make more changes to the space than an owner who rents. And those changes can add up to cost savings in the long run. According to Green.Salon, switching from electricity to a gas model dryer can save you up to $50 a year, even after including the amount that you pay to upgrade your appliance. Switch your hot water heater from electric to gas, and save $100 annually. In addition to your cost savings, you’ll also be releasing less CO2 emissions into the atmosphere—roughly 4.6 tons if you make both changes. Insulate your hot water pipes and save 1.5 tons of CO2 emissions and $120 a year. Collect Excess Colour When stylists overmix colour, only to have it poured down the drain, it’s bad for business and for the environment. Luckily, there are two new solutions you can explore. Green Circle Salons and SALO Environmental Solutions both offer services to collect excess colour and dispose of it safely, rather than flushing those chemicals down the drain. SALO’s sister company, SALO Design Solutions, also offers a colour-dispensing unit that works with any brand and precisely measures output for less waste, plus it extracts 98 per cent of the product in each tube. “It’s a pioneering change in how colour is being used,” says owner James Arniotis.

Magazines, soft plastic, colour tubes, plastic bags, cardboard and paper are separated into their own bins.

Committed staff, plus “a little OCD,” equals a recipe for earth-friendly success By Melissa Hill

hat happens when you set out to create a salon that is as green as possible? What would that salon look like? Clover Earthkind Hair Salon in Vancouver is one such salon. Opened in 2008 and owned by Jennifer Vanderleij, the staff just achieved 98 per cent waste diversion last year. The extensive efforts to recycle are in addition to a plethora of other earth-friendly initiatives that started during the build out of the space. Environmentally friendly flooring, recycled aluminum chandeliers, refurbished furniture, recycled glass tiles and reclaimed wood work stations, along with low VOC paints and energy-efficient lights and appliances complete the salon. The products used are similarly green with Aveda, John Masters Organics and the salon's own organic house line on the shelves. Ammonia-free permanent colour and vegetable-based stains are mixed for colour clients. Look behind the scenes and you'll find the heart of the salon's success—the recycling program—in the backroom. “Our backroom is full of a ridiculous amount of bins,” says Vanderleij. “Hair clippings are all collected and composted or offered for free on Craigslist (it’s used as a wildlife deterrent in backyards). Highlighting foils are pressed into bricks. Those are saved, along with the colour tubes, until dropped off at a smelting plant

every six months. Magazines, soft plastic, plastic bags, cardboard and paper are also similarly separated into their own bins. “I’m a bit OCD and the detailed, annoying stuff is my favourite, so that helps,” says Vanderleij, on dealing with separating the waste. “When we started, it would take 10 hours a week. It’s so organized now. It takes an hour a week and then, once every couple months, we spend a day. It’s not a big deal for the benefit. If the staff didn’t participate as well as they do, it would be harder.” Green Workplace, a company based in British Columbia, was hired the first year the salon was open to come in and do a waste audit and offer advice. The company returns every year for a check-up. The first year, the salon achieved 77 per cent waste diversion. The next year with a goal of 80 per cent, it achieved 85 per cent. In 2011, the goal was 90 per cent and, instead, the staff reached 98 per cent. Green Workplace awarded them with the distinction of Green Office Champions, one of only two businesses in B.C. to receive the award out of the 350 that are audited. “Our clients respect it,” Vanderleij says of their efforts. “They’re supporting something that is better for your health, in one of the most toxic industries out there. It’s a feel-good for clients, and it often changes behaviour at home.” S

fter being inspired by L’Oréal Professionnel’s #SocialLights video, Simon Lapointe-Legault of Paris Coiffure Deux-Montagnes in DeuxMontagnes, Que., took a chance and entered the #SocialLights holiday hair contest. “I was inspired by all three models from the #SocialLights collection, because I wanted to tap into three different demographics and make it more appealing for women of every age,” says Lapointe-Legault of his winning entry. “I’m really happy and proud of the project. I'm lucky to have had a lot of people around me who encouraged me during the competition.” He’s also looking forward to another part of his prize: a trip to Paris for classes at the L’Oréal Professionnel International Academy. “I’m sure I will learn tons of cool new things that will definitely help my career and craft!” S

Freedom Winds A storm has blown in with this blithe and beachy collection

Resort relaxation. Sophisticated ease. Subtle signs of subversion. Inspired by the lightness of the early ’70s—where constraints were loosened and rules bent—and the glittering party scene of the later decade, this new collection from La Biosthetique marries the two with a modern glam angle. The result? Effortless, carefree and wild. S

Sporting Brilliance Inspiration from the Olympic Games informs Sassoon’s latest collection

“W

e wanted to give a real athletic feel to the hair. The movement in the cuts is designed to give a sporty look–almost as if the hair has become beautifully dishevelled after someone has completed his or her sporting activity,” says Sassoon’s international creative director Mark Hayes. Poised and ready for the London 2012 Olympics, the hair colour vies for top place with trophy inspirations of gold, silver and fiery bronze that are applied in concentric circles like the Olympic rings.

“I

wanted to conjure up an impact collection combining simplicity and purity with hard lines and soft textures. The challenge to deliver the blonde- and white-toned vibe was huge! The cuts were very soft on top but very graphic at the sides and nape with very strong partings—in summary a real story of sharp contrast and sensitive balance,” says Douglas. S

Timothy Kuo shares his Contessa 23 finalist collection for Men’s Hairstylist of the Year By Valerie Lam

“W

ith guys, hair is usually short, and you’re kind of limited in terms of what you can do,” says Timothy Kuo, of Markus J Hair and Well-being in Vancouver. Ironically, his inspiration for men’s looks comes from women. “On the streets men’s hair is very predictable, so I wanted to create hairstyles that were unisex and put a masculine twist on it.” As a Revlon colour educator, Kuo blends his chromatic know-how into his Contessa collection. “If you put colour where the texture is, it gives depth and shadow that helps to attract the eye.” To maintain a masculine look, Kuo used subtle instead of vibrant colour to define the wave, curls and crimp sections. “This enhances the shape, so that it doesn’t look so flat and pops out at you.” S

have to be passionate about it. Without it, you can’t get very far. You have to get 100 per cent involved. You have to put in the work, not count the hours to get that "wow factor"!

Simon Chercuitte: It’s quite an honour! The classic category is like the entire history of hairstyling. For me, it’s the top prize. But you don’t need 50 years of experience to achieve this. It’s more a question of mastering your craft and really being into hairstyling. It’s about being confident in your skills. I only entered this category. I guess I felt confident enough.

SM: How did you start out in this industry?

SM: You were also a semi-finalist for Contessa 2011. What do you like about competing? SC: First and foremost, it’s curiosity. It was my first big competition, and I was interested. Being a finalist was already a huge achievement for me. I was surprised I got that far. SM: What is the secret to getting ahead in competition? SC: That’s a difficult question. I think the more experience I have in competition, the more answers I’ll have. But you have to work really hard, that’s for sure. And you

SC: It was a complete fluke when I was living in London, U.K. My only objective was to work for a month and then travel around Europe for a week. I started out as an assistant and I got told that since I was such a loud mouth, I could be a stylist! I must have had some kind of natural talent. When I started working with Akin Konizi, who went on to win the British Hairdresser of the Year award, I really started loving platform work and photo shoots. I worked constantly. If I were to count all the hours I’ve spent researching and creating hairstyles I could practically retire! I’ve worked around the clock so many times. SM: What’s the best thing you have you learned in competition and the most useful in a salon environment? SC: They’re two very different worlds, and I thrive in both. In the salon, taking care of your client is super important, but when you’re in the studio, it’s all about technique and creativity.

By Yasmin Grothé SM: You’re now artistic director at La Coupe Salon and Spa, an iconic salon in Montreal. SC: Let me say that I am thrilled beyond belief! I’m able to put together a fantastic team of stylists who’s going to bring something new and innovative to the industry. We already have great talent here at the salon. In the ‘80s La Coupe was THE reference for hairstyling in Quebec. I think it will be great for the image of the salon. Clients are always interested in seeing what a salon like ours can bring at the creative level. So I think that in terms of client retention, it’s definitely going to have a very positive impact. S

Even though it is presently impossible to create hair-colour which is 100 per cent botanical, the industry is making strong efforts to provide consumers with rich, beautiful, shiny colour, while moving away from artificial fragrances, silicones, paraffin/mineral oils and parabens.

In the last few years, groundbreaking R&D has allowed manufacturers to fine-tune hair colour for superior results and a better user experience, thanks to ammonia-free formulas. It’s a welcome relief for both colourists and clients, who will no longer have to endure the fumes. What’s more, ammonia-free colour is an alternative that preserves the integrity of the hair, while providing great shine and conditioning. The ammonia-free formulas, which were originally developed for demi- and semi-permanent hair colour (such as PM Shines from Paul Mitchell, Colour Touch by Wella and Cellophanes by Sebastian Professional), are now also available for permanent colours and high-lift blondes. Coming on the heels of ammonia-free formulas are oil-based delivery systems that maximize the effectiveness

for example, the Essensity line from schwarzkopf Professional promises to replace synthetic ingredients, whenever possible, without compromising on performance. its formulas are predominantly biodegradable, and raw materials are synthesized from plant-based extracts using renewable sources. This spring, Aveda is relaunching its Full Spectrum Protective Permanent creme hair color line. "it’s hair colour with an environmental conscience,” says Ian Michael Black, Aveda Color director for North America. “The 96 per cent naturally derived formula, environmental packaging and 100 per cent wind power manufacturing make it the ideal product for guests looking for a hair colour service that is kind to their hair and the earth.” for clients who wish to go one step closer to becoming better eco citizens, organic color systems is a new us-based professional line. it uses a coconut by-product, which is a naturally derived swelling agent, suspended in soy oil. when colour is applied to hair and activated under heat, the soy oil naturally softens and moisturizes the cuticle as the coconut-derived swelling agent gently expands and opens the cuticle. As the heat source is removed, the swelling subsides, and the undamaged cuticle naturally closes back down, thereby sealing the new pigment into the hair. organic color systems is also certified organic, vegan and cruelty-free by PETA.

Is Your Water Affecting Your Colour? Depending on where in Canada you live, hard water can be a problem for your colour business, from fading and lack of vibrance to reformulation. For hair with a build-up of minerals, Tom Porter, Ceo and founder of Malibu Wellness, likens it to colouring on top of a wall of rocks. “If it’s going on top of a layer of minerals, it’s not going to match the swatch and you can’t guarantee your colour,” he says. An easy fix is offering a pre-colour treatment to rid strands of any minerals. Since the degree of challenge varies widely from area to area, Malibu Wellness has obtained water tests from every single town across the country and offers the results for free on its website. Go to MalibuC.com and type in your town to find out how it will affect your colour clients and their results.

For the Men

Where: Stillwater Spa at the Hyatt Hotel in Calgary Director: Meredith MacLean What: Manicures and pedicures for men, especially the man-friendly Nourish Nooner package, which is popular with businessmen in downtown Calgary who are looking for a quick way to de-stress. It offers an express manicure or pedicure and a gourmet boxed lunch in under an hour. “Offering couples’ packages are also a good segue into the men’s market. I think that’s the easiest way to get a gentlemen to try a spa for the first time, with a partner,” says MacLean Why: “It’s a good growing trend,” says MacLean. “I think there was a time in the industry when men’s grooming wasn’t available, so, of course, they didn’t know about it. Then once it started—and we’re not the only spa that offers it—there was the awareness that they can have that done, and the popularity grew. Men are becoming a little more aware of their personal grooming.” How it works: “Whether the client is male or female, we go through exactly what we’re going to do, so there are no big surprises,” says lead esthetician Nicole Neufeld. If a salon is using scents, MacLean suggests switching to a less floral aroma with male clients. Eucalyptus is used at Stillwater for hand and nail treatments. Men are also given the option of a clear, matte polish, which makes the nail look cleaner but not shiny.

Local Ingredients

Where: Tranquility Organic Spa in Vancouver Owner: Jimi Pak, former spa manager in New York City before founding her spa in Vancouver. What: The spa offers hand and foot care using fully organic and locally grown herbs and ingredients to make scrubs, lotions and bath soaks. Why: “When Jimi moved to Vancouver in 2004, she found that it was an environmentally conscious city, where organic supplies are abundant and clients' needs are high,” says marketing manager Kevin Lee, of the spa’s owner and founder. “Her major focus was a fully organic spa where clients relax and enjoy the natural environment.” How it works: Blessed with the temperate coastline climate, the spa takes advantage of fresh produce from farmers’ markets, like berries for mineral masks and cucumbers for a cucumber scrub, that pampers clients’ hands and feet. “It takes little more effort and time, but our clients can get more direct healing power and, at the same time, we can help the local businesses. It isn’t that difficult to select suppliers here,” says Lee. “One good benefit of using locally grown produce is that you know the exact condition of ingredients and how to maximize their benefits. To provide this service, you can study what materials you can have in your town and why you use them,” suggests Lee. S

What Goes On, Must Go In Thinking about skin-care ingredients as more than skin-deep By Valerie Lam

Natural Vitamin C Synthetic vitamin C containing ascorbic acid is very powerful, but its high acidity level may cause irritation, itchiness and dryness. Koronczay suggests natural vitamin C derived from rosehips. It is less acidic and helps calm skin irritation and removes surface impurities,

salon > april 12

while slowing down the aging process. Rosehip can also help treat rosacea. Stone Crop Hydroquinone is a typical solution for skin lightening. While it is very good at bleaching skin, it can also leave clients photosensitive and dry out the skin. Instead, try treating hyperpigmentation with stone crop, a plant that is hydrating and helps to regenerate skin. “It’s very good for age spots and dark spots. It takes longer but it’s much safer in the long run,” says Koronczay. Licorice Root and Tea Tree Extract Benzoyl peroxide is a popular ingredient to zap a bad case of zits. However, the side-effect is very dry skin. To combat this, Koronczay opts for natural antiseptic ingredients, like licorice root and tea tree extract. Probiotics Also good for fighting acne, probiotics promote the growth of good bacteria. “Good bacteria kills bad bacteria,” explains Koronczay. “So, what happens is you have all this bad bacteria that causes inflammation, but good bacteria is capable of holding them at bay, so it really reduces inflammation.” Petroleum-Free Products Ma advocates products with a natural base that use no petroleum.

“For me, what really defines natural skin care is the absence of petroleum-based ingredients. It makes a huge difference in skin care,” she says. “When clients with rosacea and really sensitive skin use products devoid of synthetic perfumes, bases and preservatives, they are less likely to have a reaction.” Coconut Oil In the Ayurvedic approach to skin care, acne, eczema and rosacea are all caused by a Pitta imbalance, which, in turn, causes inflammation. The Ayurvedic solution: “Coconut oil. It is antibacterial, disinfects and purifies the skin too. You can also prescribe it to someone without acne, and they won’t break out,” says Ma. Sesame Oil “In terms of bolstering the skin, sesame oil is one of the most popular ingredients used in Ayurveda,” says Ma. “It’s great for moisture and protection, but it also slightly stimulates circulation. When you stimulate circulation, you can also stimulate collagen production.” Sesame oil can also be used in whole body oiling to protect the skin and warm the body, especially feet and hands that suffer from poor circulation. S

Ayurveda: A Natural Approach Ma, a certified Ayurvedic practitioner, promotes the Ayurvedic philosophy and ingredients in her natural skin-care line. The ancient approach to health regards skin as a mirror of an individual’s inner health. Practitioners treat each client based upon his or her unique composition and genetics. “I think estheticians already understand that,” says Ma. After her own frustration from the conflicting diagnoses of different naturopaths she saw to treat her severe acne, Ma found that Ayurveda put things into a coherent context. “What I love about Ayurveda is how easy it is to communicate to your client. It gives you a better understanding of patterns in lifestyle, and speaks to mental and emotional roles for wellness.” PHOTO: ISTOCK

hink for a moment about what you eat. For many, your diet is about being good to your body with foods that have a nutritional benefit. What if you applied the same approach to skin care? “We always say that if you don’t want to eat it, don’t put it on your skin. If something would make you sick if you eat it, it's probably not the smartest thing to put it on your face either,” says Éminence Organic Skin Care president Boldijarre Koronczay. Kristen Ma, owner of Pure+Simple and author of Beauty: Pure+Simple, agrees: “When you’re applying an ingredient that’s not edible onto skin it gets absorbed into our internal body— and that’s counterintuitive for us because it’s not good for us. We’d never eat petroleum if we can avoid it.” With clients demanding more natural alternatives, companies are listening. Here’s a look at some popular natural ingredients and what they can do.

t age 25, salon owner Alicia Austin didn’t have to be told to dream big. “We wanted to do something unpredictable and push the limits,” she says of herself and husband, Ryan Soulier. Austin’s dream to open her first salon came true in Saskatoon, where she chose a high-end residential neighbourhood that lacked a sophisticated salon. Together, the pair designed and constructed Capelli Salon Studio, which means “hair” in Italian. “I come from an Italian family, so it’s really important for me to embrace my heritage. Inside, I wanted to have an Italian-European vibe,” says Austin. With a passion to help people, Austin learned by assisting hairstylists for seven years, particularly Kim Regier at Chel Salonspa, to whom she gives credit as her mentor. Learning business savvy and people skills from Regier, as well as Aveda, she now pays it forward to her own staff. “I always say that hairdressers are the luckiest people in the world, because we get front-row seats in all our clients’ lives. It’s like we’re family,” Austin says. S Details

KicK-start your beauty career If your dreams are made of highlighting foils, Japanese shears, or massage oils, it might be time to head in the right direction and enroll in cosmetology school. according to the 2011 mid-year review by the U.S.based Professional Beauty association (PBa), a record 34 per cent of salon/spa owners said they added employees between the first quarters of 2010 and 2011, and student membership in the PBa more than doubled in the first half of 2011.

But where do you start? the choices may seem vast when considering a professional beauty school, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be overwhelmed. take the time to look at the school offerings and identify a program that suits your interests. research and compare academies that link with top salons to put theory into practice. associations, like Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s allied Beauty association, are also a great resource to rub shoulders with the best in the business and learn how to succeed in the beauty world.

GO FROM GOOD TO GREAT When you look at the careers of great hairstylists like Tony Ricci, Anna Pacitto and Damien Carney, they all have something in common. They are brilliant educators, in addition to being experts in what they do. And they no doubt had great educators and mentors who helped them to get where they are today. Along with dedication, education is invaluable in refining your skills and taking your career to the next level. Whether you’re a junior stylist eager to advance in the salon, a makeup artist who’d like to be booked solid, or a beauty therapist curious about medical skin care, you can find a program that will boost your skills and your confidence. Think about it like this: continuing education is an investment. When Salon Magazine interviewed spa owners for a story about how they succeeded in 2011, a year that was challenging for many businesses, a majority touted the benefits of education. It is essential for keeping on top of trends, offering top-of-the-line services and retaining clients. Talk to your salon team or fellow stylists about your goals and ask what courses would improve the team’s overall performance. After all, the sum is greater than its parts! Discover how continued learning can help your salon stand out in town.
