were a big part of my life.

The discussion on being environmentally aware was just beginning.

“Reduce,” “reuse” and “recycle” were catchwords that were often used in conjunction with newly instituted recycling programs. These days, every community seems to have a recycling and composting program in place, making it easier for residents and businesses alike to make responsible decisions when it comes to waste. In a similar way that environmental awareness has become a renewed focus for many salons, so has men’s hairstyling and grooming. For guys who lived through the era of grunge, their look was equal parts rock star and skater, with a side of star athlete. Fast-forward a couple of decades and many of those same guys are now sporting cleaner, more conservative looks, yet each is still very well styled. In fact, to hear some of them talk, they’re as aware of their appearance now as they were as teenagers, and the salon industry has responded with product lines and specialized services that cater to male clients. Whether they cater to clients who support businesses that are aware of their carbon footprint or those who are looking for specialized men’s services, salons have even more opportunity to build their businesses in a whole new way. It’s an exciting time to be in this industry, so test the waters and find out how you can make changes that will benefit your salon and your clients in the years ahead.

As one of the new tribe of tattooed clipper-toting hairstylists, Jason Culala of OGX in Toronto, continues to experience the tidal wave of business and sums up the essence of men’s grooming best: “In men’s haircutting, there’s no room for mishaps: You can’t hide mistakes. We don’t do 20-minute haircuts. It’s not about putting the number two on a clipper and riffling through the cut; it’s all in the details. You have to take pride in your work.” I couldn’t agree more, and it’s time to say, let’s hear it for the boys!

Have You Heard About…? Olaplex, a new brand in the beauty world, is creating quite the buzz. Word is spreading fast about Olaplex, a multi-purpose brand newly available in Canada that can be used on its own or as an additive when colour-treating—especially with blonde. Free of silicones and oils, the product re-links broken bonds in the hair. The Bond Multiplier No.1 can be added to a lightener or colour to strengthen the strands from the inside. The Bond Perfector No.2 is applied after the colour is rinsed out, to protect hair and eliminate breakage. The Hair Perfector No.3 goes home with the client and can be used once a week to boost the strength of the hair or be used as a pre-treatment to chemical colouring services.

12 REASONS TO LOVE 12 BENEFITS 1 The brand’s simple, less-is-more approach to hair care. 2 Five great products to use: Conditional Love, Instant Healthy Hair Treatment, Love Blowout Argan Oil Blow Dry Spray. 3 The Love At First Lather Moisture Balancing Mousse Shampoo, the newest product from the brand, gently cleanses tresses without stripping natural oils or colour. 4 The products are designed for any hair type and texture and cover your clients’ needs. 5 Anti-fade technology means your clients can use 12 Benefits on colour-treated hair. 6 Each product has less than 10 ingredients, so you and your clients can understand everything on the label. 7 The products contain antioxidant-rich ingredients like noni berry and oils like avocado and argan.

8 The brand leaves out parabens, sulfates and silicones. 9 All five products promise super-silky, hydrated and nourished hair. 10 Love At First Lather reminds us that it’s okay to lather and rinse (and maybe even repeat) with the right cocktail of ingredients (like plant sugars, coconut oil and sunflower extract). 11 No animal testing—ever! 12 Simple yet fun bright-pink packaging!

HAIRLINES COLOUR

RESPONSIBLE

Colour When it comes to colour lines containing naturally derived ingredients you need to know your options. Whether your clients are interested in taking a tentative step into professional colour or are simply looking for a more eco-friendly option, many salons are offering a

colour line that has more natural ingredients. “For stylists, there are four key clients. They want to colour their hair with a natural-looking colour, some want less ingredients touching their hair, and others are afraid of colour damage, but the biggest reason is that clients want ammonia-free colour,” explains Susan Boccia, education manager for Schwarzkopf Professional. Here’s why having a colour line that makes use of natural ingreidnets whenever possible, may be a good option for your clients and your salon.

NATURAL SPECIFICATIONS replace synthetic ingredients with naturally derived ones. For example, in Schwarzkopf Professional's Essensity line, organic grapeseed oil is a key ingredient found in the colour crème, which helps retain the colour because, “it has the same lipid proteins found in the hair structure,” explains Boccia. In addition, palm oil, which is a key ingredient in the developer, not only protects the hair, but also boosts lift power and adds shine.

Mensthetics 101 You’ve got them in your chair for a haircut, but what about taking it to the next level with your male clients for an esthetic service, too? Some guys are still slow to take the plunge into the world of facials, waxing and manicures. We chatted with Kristjan Hayden, creative director for Aveda Canada, and Anka Miron, owner of Mankind Grooming Studio for Men in Toronto, to get some tips and tricks on how to market esthetic services to your male clients.

Start the conversation Whether you have a designated esthetics menu or not, educating your male clients on the benefits of skincare and general grooming is important to get them to move away from the stigma that esthetics is a women’s-only area. “One of the things that has prevented men from taking advantage of those services is a lack of awareness,” explains Hayden. “Explain what the treatment is, what they can expect from it and what the takeaway benefit is.” From there, it will be on their mind. Even if they are just in for a haircut, Miron believes that you can get them thinking about esthetics: “We’re educating them for 10 minutes [on esthetic services] before they even get their hair cut.”

Add more to the service

condition their hair. When we take off the towel, it wipes off the cleanser. Then we add a bit of moisturizer and explain which products we used.” In addition to skincare, Hayden recommends grooming add-ons like eyebrow trimming, and Miron suggests straight-razor shaves.

WHAT’S IN A NAME? Create a service menu that speaks to men.

Who is the Lumbersexual? Following in the footsteps of the metrosexual and the übersexual, the lumbersexual is the new male icon of the moment. Rugged and virile, he sports a manly beard, is beefed up, wears leather boots and a checkered shirt (yup, all the stereotypes are there…) and has climbed his way through the most influential fashion and hairstyling blogs.

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH SCHWARZKOPF PROFESSIONAL

Collective Style Take a look behind the scenes at the making of Schwarzkopf Professional’s Spring/ Summer 2015 Essential Looks Collection. With U.K. native Damien Carney taking the helm of Schwarzkopf Professional’s North American Creative Team and Ontario-based Rossa Jurenas recently appointed as the brand's North American Color Director, the pair teamed up to create the Salon Looks of the Spring/Summer 2015 Essential Looks Modern Style Collection in Hamburg, Germany. Capturing the radiant vibe of the new IGORA ROYAL Pearlescence colours, marks the first time that Carney and Jurenas have worked together. We sat down with the duo and found out more about their collaborative styles and why they think hairstylists (and their clients) will love these iridescent shades.

Capturing the Trend Once we analyzed the trends from Spring/Summer 2015 fashion weeks, we then came together and looked at the IGORA ROYAL Pearlescence colours and realized these fashion hues including, Cotton Candy Pink, Mint, Lavender, Amber, Coral and Tangerine can all be created with Pearlescence.

For our inspiration, we looked at the key trends from the runways of London, Paris, New York and Milan . After we digested the ideas of design, colour, texture, we applied the concepts to hair cutting, stylin g and colouring techniques. When I see each fashion season, I get very excited at what I can bring to the world of hair, including new colou rs, shapes and textures. —Damien Carney

Then Lesley Jennison and I came up with the colour techniques and patterns to showcase these amazing shades. —Rossa Jurenas

Celebrity Style We are seeing these colours on celebrities, for example at The Grammy’s we saw Katy Perry with pearlized colour. Kelly Osbourne continues to reinvent soft lavender making it part of her signature style and blondes have been sneaking in soft pink hues for several seasons. Colour is going this way not only for celebrities, but also for clients who want to wear and live in these hues. —Rossa Juraneas

In the Salon Pearlescense provides the tools for hairstylists to create unique looks and services for clients, and not just blondes. Pearlescence has tones specifically for darker levels, which means that the options are endless and this is what we tried to illustrate in the collection. Pastel and pearl shades are on the rise and going mainstream for summer. —Damien Carney

We both work ver y azingly well together. Damien and I work am together because fun putting the project hard yet always have enas Jur a oss —R er. we balance each oth

Who They Are The Pearlescent Girls trend may have started with music festival go-ers, hipsters and fashion bloggers, but it still reflects the different types of clients we see in our salons. Each one has a different hair type, texture, face shape and personality. Each look incorporates cut, colour and finish in a fresh, directional way and all are easily adapted for any client around the world. —Damien Carney

Having a colour line like Pearlescence benefits your salon and your clients. The range of colours is both multi-tonal and soft with pearl-like effects.

Natural Luxury Medulla & Co. in Toronto marries a conscious approach with a luxurious feel. By Ashley Kowalewski

hen it came time to opening his own salon, Medulla & Co., in the Queen West neighbourhood of Toronto, owner and hair colour vet Luis Pacheco created a space that merged his

two worlds of beauty and yoga: “We married a conscious lifestyle with a luxury one.” Having worked in the industry for two decades, including his notable post at Hair on the Avenue in Toronto’s swanky Yorkville area, Pacheco was able to develop and hone his reputation before branching out and opening Medulla & Co. last year. The aim for Medulla & Co. was a space that brought a sense of natural harmony to the world of beauty. As Pacheco explains, “Trying to minimize exposure as best we can without forgoing results,” by choosing to go ammonia-free for people who are becoming more and more conscious of ingredients. The lifestyle salon has an open and airy feel when you walk in and incorporates wood elements to create a natural and grounding feeling that breathes balance. While the design elements were calculated in their meaning, the overall idea for the space came very naturally to Pacheco. While darker than the front styling area, which encompasses soft white walls and light wood fixtures, the colour bar had a plan. “In the colour area, we tried to focus light where we needed it most.” From the decorative elements to the lifestyle and retail area of the salon, each component brought in a sense of balanced harmony that was equal parts mathematical and instinctive. “People are just naturally drawn to something like this. It’s about being open and connecting.”
