hen we started to brainstorm ideas for the 2008-09 Buyer’s Guide editorial, we wanted to make it interesting and fun for you but also full of tips and information that you could use to benefit your day-to-day business. We decided to set up a fun play on the alphabet with each letter representing something relevant to the beauty industry—people, products, issues and ideas. Once we got going with the letters, we wanted them to be unpredictable in many ways to make you think outside the box. So, for example, C is not for colour, but F is Formula, because formulas are what you use to make different colours. We made C for creativity. The letter B could be for brushes, however we made it for basics and incorporated the basic tools stylists need when starting out in their careers. The letter T is not for texture or treatments, it’s for touch-ups and deals with makeup and nails. K is for Kink, and that’s where you get texture. R is for Remedy, and that’s where you’ll find products to treat hair problems, and the list goes on. This format makes it easy for you to pick up and read a couple of sections at a time in short breaks between clients or over your lunch period. We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed putting it together. We would love to hear your thoughts and ideas on this, or any editorial ideas you have. Send us an email or pick up the phone and call. The Contessa deadline is drawing near. We are looking forward to all your entries. We are very excited about the introduction of the new award for Salon Business Excellence. Judging will be conducted by an independent panel of business experts, including a representative of the prestigious Schulich School of Business, at York University, one of the world’s leading business schools and ranked number one in Canada by several business journals annually. If your salon has outstanding business results with strong profit and growth strategies over the past three years, you should consider entering. You still have time. Go to www.salon52.ca for details and entry forms. The deadline for entries is Tuesday, August 12, 2008. Good luck to everyone who is entering.

t was a proud moment for our Salon Magazine team when salon52.ca was announced as the Gold winner for Best Website at the KRW Awards, presented by the Canadian Business Press in Toronto in June. We’re so accustomed to giving out hardware instead of receiving it that we were all a little giddy! In the past, Salon Magazine has won many KRW awards. In fact, two of our covers were also finalists for the Best Cover category this year. However, the website award was close to all our hearts as so much blood, sweat and tears have gone into developing the website and the weekly newsletter over the past two years. Creating a website for the professional beauty industry isn’t as simple as one might think—even for us. There are some major differences between publishing a magazine and operating a website. The beauty of a magazine is it’s tangible, tactile. In the salon, you can pick up the magazine again and again, poring over the pages between client breaks. Many like to take it home and read it at leisure. Browsing through it is like strolling through your favourite shops, hoping to come across that great little find. You have a relationship with the pages of the magazine each issue. You have your favourite sections. Websites, on the other hand, have a slightly different function. The viewer logging on is usually looking for specific information. Navigating in the vast ocean of information can be daunting. We also recognize that the salon industry is somewhat unlike other industries in that most beauty pros don’t have access to the Internet eight hours a day like people who work in offices. We know our audience has a varied range of comfort and understanding around the Internet. The 18 to 35 crowd has no problem with utilizing the Internet. However, for the 35+ professional it doesn’t come as easily, so we know that ease of navigating a site is very important. Beauty pros are also a highly creative group who demand visual stimulation, so every page has to be inviting. Salon52.ca has morphed from a new newsletter and website to a huge database of photo collections, job postings, news and event coverage, an extensive product directory and now video capabilities. One click of a mouse and anyone from Nanaimo, British Columbia, to Timmins, Ontario, to St. Anthony, Newfoundland, can be totally immersed in the professional beauty world, with information directly related to the Canadian industry. As we wanted from the beginning, it’s a community just for you. And we’re just getting started.

Ambience. Teamwork. Design. Music. Many elements can help foster an atmosphere that clients and staff will find alluring. Whether you’re buying a special brand of tea to please a client, placing scented candles in your bathroom or treating your stylists to nice congratulatory dinners, keeping everyone happy is all in the details. For our opening category in Salon Life A to Z, we decided to share a few words of wisdom from four salons that have developed recipes for success.

To enhance the atmosphere, Staley displays these graphics, which she also incorporated into her business cards, and images of her work like the model on the right, in her salon.

“We invest money, time and energy in our stylists to really promote them as artists. If they are willing to work hard, we’ll provide them with career-building opportunities. And we’re so very proud of them. We’ve added a luminous box behind the reception to hang up photographic work that has won awards or for which the stylist was a finalist.”

—Romina Lapolla, Continental Coiffure The team from Blyss Salon share a few laughs after our cover photo shoot.

“Keep your music current. Listen to it first. Keep it mellow in the morning, more upbeat in the afternoon. And look around. Who is sitting in your salon? Are they young and hip or older, more reserved? Can you hear your client over the music?

creativity

Creative cutting skills are an essential part of the salon industry. In fact, without human creativity, a haircut would be just a plain old haircut. But thanks to styling masters like Vidal Sassoon and Robert Lobetta, haircutting and styling have grown to become experiences—coveted services and art forms in their own right.

Cutting Gear Every artist needs his or her tools. Here are some of the best on the market.

Shark fin ShearS We don’t buy shoes that don’t fit, so why should stylists settle for shears that don’t fit their thumbs? Shark Fin Shears solves that little conundrum with its custom-fitted shears. Go to www.hisakishears.com to learn more.

kaSho ShearS The Millennium Edition 6.5" Offset shear from Kasho ensures perfect, even movement with optimum tension. Ergonomic handles with a removable finger rest are complemented by Kasho’s longest-lasting, sharpest edge ever. Check out www.dwa.ca.

Illuminated Vision In his recent Illuminere collection, one of the top creative guys in our industry, Damien Carney, transforms human hair into intricate jewel-like sculptures. “The objective was to create timeless, complex, structured shapes that illuminate the face, head and neck in much the same way as a beautiful necklace can—hair as the ultimate fashion accessory, if you will,” says Carney. “With photography, I wanted to show the transformative effects of light on hair, which are in this case very dramatic.”

Recognition comes with paying your dues. It’s not often you encounter young professionals in their twenties with the kind of motivation and perseverance that has them taking home coveted awards and being in demand at magazine shoots and runway shows—thus becoming the new name on everyone’s lips. Here, we put a spotlight on two young stylists who are doing just that.

Matthew waldroN, Mood by Pure, MoNtreal He came in third in the world in the avant-garde category of the AIPP (International Professional Press Association) Awards last year, so to say 26-year-old Matthew Waldron is an editor’s pick is putting it lightly. He does impressive magazine fashion shoots, is the leading colourist at Montreal’s award-winning Mood by Pure salon and will start training in August to join L’Oréal Professionnel’s artistic team on stage. Type-A personality, you think? “I wouldn’t be able to do something that I don’t love,” explains Waldron, “and when I love something, I do it fully.” He

credits his young success to a combination of talent, opportunity and being in the right place at the right time. “Competitions can also help you get the respect that you want. It’s a great opportunity to show your peers what you’re made of.” He encourages young stylists to keep taking classes and absorb all the knowledge they can from the people around them. “You also need to be able to adapt. When you’re dealing with other creative types like editors and creative directors, and even your clients, you need to cater to everyone’s needs and expectations.”

Lock down coLour T3’s new Bespoke Colorlock Collection is the first to help hair colour stay vivid from the moment it’s applied to root retouch time. The ColorLock Pressing Spray is used with the ColorLock Press to preserve hair colour longer. Derived from T3’s patented Dimple Plate Technology, a combination of high heat (450 F degrees) and pressure helps push colour molecules deep into hair with one glide of the press and closes the cuticle. The spray fills in the gaps and locks in the colour with a cuticle-sealing polish. The spray can be used two to three times per week between salon visits. For more information check out www.t3micro.com.

Profitable rootS Screen GemS These little gems are meant to prevent colour staining of the skin along the hairline by coating the skin like a screen. The colourist simply applies before beginning the colour application. For more information call International Beauty Services at 800.642.3818.

The Hair Color Extender is the perfect solution for clients with fast re-growth or who can’t make it back in six weeks and need a little cover-up of the roots to take them through a couple of extra weeks. This ingenious invention houses the formula the colourist uses on the client in the salon but is not mixed until the client actually uses the Hair Color Extender at home or on the road.

giving back

It’s a well-known fact that our industry is driven by emotions. And emotions like compassion are what prompt stylists and salon owners to always extend a helping hand to the less fortunate. Last year, on June 3, almost 200 salons across the country participated in Redken’s first annual One X One national cut-a-thon. All the proceeds and donations from cuts and in-salon services provided during that Sunday were donated to One X One, a nonprofit foundation committed to supporting, preserving and improving the lives of children in Canada and around the world. “Redken has embraced the One x One foundation in an effort to make this world a better place to live in,” says Doriane Dalati, vice president and general manager for Redken. “Last year salons raised $100,000 with a one day cut-a-thon; this year we are extending it to an entire week.” Michael Shubert fom Hennessey Salon and Spa in Calgary, the salon that raised the most money during last year’s cut-athon, says he felt incredibly rewarded by the experience. “You’re not only helping a good cause, but you’re getting everyone involved and creating a community feeling. It’s something different from the everyday.” There are many creative ways to build on the event, such as having a barbecue for friends and clients, or as Hennessey did, putting up a lemonade stand at the entrance. “We turned up the music a bit to gather a crowd and encouraged passers-by to at least buy some lemonade,” says Shubert. “If you have an energetic environment and create the hype around it, people want to be part of it.”

Any salon committing to raise a minimum of $1000 throughout the week (an attainable goal over five to seven days) will also receive an extensive cut-a-thon kit including posters, balloons, capes, counter cards and thank-you stickers. Redken will also ensure that all participating salons are thanked by being showcased in consumer print media. “There is no better way to showcase your heart in your communities than to be attached to a great cause,” says Dalati. Pietro D’Aquila from Odyssey IV salon in Montreal couldn’t agree more. “I have triplets, so a cause that deals with children is already very important to me,” he says. “It’s one day a year where you can use your passion to give back.” Plus, he admits, the salon ended up growing their business because of it. “Friends of clients who had heard of the cut-a-thon showed up, and we ended up keeping them as clients.” Debbie Harvey from Nirvana Hair Studio & Spa pre-booked her clients for that day, and added the proceeds from a BBQ, raffle tickets and a percentage of their retail sales to the salon’s donation. “This year we’re trying to involve a few salons from a neighbouring town,” says the salon owner from Port Hope, a small town of 16,000 people in Ontario. “We’d love to take up the whole street and invite stores and vendors to put out booths and participate, to create an even bigger awareness of the cause.” Learn more about One X One by watching an exclusive video at www.salon52.ca.

The Redken annual One X One cut-a-thon takes place August 11 to 17. A kick-off event is planned for August 11 at Dundas Square in downtown Toronto.

innovation

photos courtesy joico

Critics say that in the fashion world the word “genius” is constantly overused. In the beauty biz, the clichéd term is “innovative,” a word that could be rendered meaningless if we continue to use it as frequently as we do. After all, true innovation doesn’t come around every day, and if something is truly innovative, it should easily stand out from the crowd. Joico’s Re:nual Serum from the re:nu Age Defy line is one of the rare products that can genuinely be described as a true innovation. Unlike any other product available on the North American market, Re:nual Serum promises to prevent and reverse the number-one sign of aging hair: loss of pigment. In an industry where hair colour and grey coverage generate millions of dollars, a concept like this is huge. It’s so huge, in fact, that it can definitely generate skepticism. Here, we get Gina Coburn Steele, director of education for Joico in Canada, to address the four most commonly asked questions associated with this amazing new product that just recently hit the market.

s a l o n > july+august 08

w w w. s a lo n 5 2 . c a

1. Does Joico’s Re:nual seRum actually woRk? “Yes, in about three to six months you’ll see a difference. The result will depend on how much grey or white hair a person had to begin with. A person with advanced stages of grey won’t go back completely to his or her original colour, but there will be a noticeable change towards darker hair.”

2. How Does tHis pRoDuct ReveRse gRey HaiR? “Re:nual Serum works on a cellular level in the hair follicle. Melanin, which gives hair its colour, is produced by melanocytes in the hair follicle. As we age, our melanocytes begin to migrate down the follicle to the hair bulb, where they become inactive and no longer produce melanin. “Joico’s Re:nual Serum is infused with extract from Japanese sansho pepper, a natural and safe ingredient. This extract actually signals the melanocytes to move back to the hair follicle where they belong and can produce melanin again. Another key ingredient contained in the serum, hops extract, then begins to stimulate the melanocytes to multiply. This process restarts hair’s melanin production.”

3. will Re:nual seRum HuRt colouR business? “Absolutely not. Colour clients will not stop colouring their hair when they use this product. First of all, the purpose of hair colour goes way beyond just grey coverage. No one goes to the salon and asks for the mousy brown they were born with. Women colour their hair for fashion and style, not just to hide grey. “In fact, Re:nual Serum actually complements hair colour services, particularly for women with very noticeable white or grey re-growth. For example, if a woman applies a small amount of the product twice a day on the hairline surrounding the face and on their hair part, re-growth will become less obvious. Also, pigmented hair holds colour a lot better than white hair, meaning that colour services will last longer on clients using this product.”

4. Does tHe seRum offeR any otHeR benefits? “Yes. Re:nual Serum will also increase hair’s diameter and improve elasticity and strength after only two weeks of use. It also prevents the onslaught of grey hair altogether, so it’s ideal for clients who just don’t want to go grey.” To learn more on Re:nual Serum and the entire re:nu Age Defy line go to www.joico.com/renu or visit www.salon52.ca.

kink

Consider your salon a battleground in the war between nasty kinks and gorgeous curls. It’s a fight worth fighting, as you all know, since plump, juicy texture still remains a hot commodity among regular salon-goers. Here are a few weapons to add to your arsenal.

Collection: Archetype Hair: ISO i.Design Team Photos: Courtesy ISO

Top 5 texture tips

ISO artistic director Danyelle Bachand dishes out her best advice on rolling out fabulous chemically stimulated curls.

1. Think of the final result Chemical texture can set a hairstyle like nothing else. So stop using texture services simply as a way to achieve curls and start thinking big picture. Ask yourself what you want to achieve from a hairstyle and use texture to get you there.

the hair shaft. Test your tools by doing a basic dry set with a thermal lotion.

3. Experiment Keep an open mind and experiment with unusual texture tools like foam pieces, sponges and nylon pieces. Pretty much anything is fair game so long as it doesn’t damage

5. Don’t forget to test Always test hair fibre for porosity, elasticity and inner strength before any chemical texture service. If you need to refresh your strand test skills, contact your local distributor.

s a l o n > july+august 08

2. Be age-appropriate Chemical services should always be personalized to fit a client’s age group and fashion sense.

4. Understand the breakdown Always adapt your texturing techniques according to a wellthought-out placement pattern. Most clients aren’t looking for cylinder-shaped curls running from root to end, so figure out how much wave you want at the hair’s root, mid-zone and tip, and adjust your placement accordingly.

Robert Cromeans refers to it as the “sinktuary.” And industry experts agree: the time your client spends in the shampoo chair is the perfect opportunity to spoil them. But while they enjoy a relaxing head rub—and perhaps a complimentary hand massage from an assistant—you should be thinking of maximizing your sales with add-on services like scalp massages, exfoliations and treatment masques.

Ultimate comfort This is a salon’s time to shine, starting with a comfortable shampoo chair. The Yume shampoo chair from Takara Belmont has an ergonomically designed head/neck rest that

offers clients ultimate comfort during their shampoo and treatment. The back rest simulates the natural reclining movement of the human body while a gel neck rest and two gel-filled

head cushions support the back of the head, reducing pressure on the neck. The height can be adjusted to accommodate the stylist’s height for working comfort. Info: 800.268.5351

Sweet Scrub Bain de Terre’s sugar & fig scalp massage scrub is an all-natural scalp treatment containing brown sugar, which acts as an exfoliant and removes impurities from the scalp, and moisturizing fig. Visit www.baindeterre.com.

touch-ups

Quick touch-up services, like express nail polish changes, are a great way to maintain a loyal clientele and promote retail. They can also be an unexpected source of revenue. Contessa winner and Sound Salon Spa owner, Timothy Day Howard in St. John’s says, “At the end of each hair service, we offer complimentary makeup touch-ups to finish the look for the client. Sixty per cent of these clients end up purchasisng a lip product. All of our colour clients get a complimentary foot soak and hand massage during the service. Clients are wowed by it, and it sets us apart.”

Vanity

Vanity is your business. And sometimes it helps if you get a little vain and toot your own horn. We’re talking about doing some public relations initiatives, of course. They can do a lot of good things to help grow your business. One of the best examples of a savvy and inexpensive PR program that we’ve seen is the monthly newsletter we get regularly from The Lounge Hair Studio in Vancouver. “We send our newsletter to every one of our clients and all the media we have ever had contact with,” says co-owner Martin Hillier. “We’ve been doing it now for about seven years, and it works really well for us. We will often get a media call because of something we have in our newsletter. It gets us in the news.” The Lounge’s newsletter contains all the latest news on each staff member, and their schedule if they are going to be away, say, teaching, like Hillier or Lance Blanchette, who both do work for Senscience and Joico. It also contains short news items about any social or community activities The Lounge has participated in of late, plus a couple of photos, birthday listings and the like. But as Hillier puts it, “The newsletter is great because it lets our clients

But it also lets them know things about our industry and that we are more than just bang-trimmers.They see that we have a lot more going on in our lives, and it gives us things to talk about when they do come in. Many clients will forward the newsletter to their friends, and that’s how we often get new clients as well.”
