SPRING FORWARD

������������������������� ��������� ��������������� �������������������������� ������������������������ �������������������������� ����������������������� ����������������������

AS I WRITE THIS, on January 20, it’s a sunny plus 9 Celsius in Toronto, and not a flake of snow to be seen. The birds were chirping as I walked to the office this morning wearing no scarf, gloves or hat. (Mother Nature will make us pay for this, to be sure.) It really made me think of spring and this issue’s first-ever spring trend report.

Our editors, Tina Christopoulos and Morella Aguirre, spent weeks researching, gathering images and talking to beauty pros to bring you our predictions for spring 2006. Be sure to check our interpretations of the latest runway, hair, makeup and nail trends on page 57.

Spring is a time of renewal and inspiration and in the beauty industry it signals the start of show season. It’s the time to check out the newest developments in products, techniques and education offered by manufacturers as well as some live competitions to get creative juices flowing. The Montreal ABA show kicks things off March 5 and 6, with Vancouver hot on its heels March 19 and 20.

Looking ahead for Contessa 18 (entry forms, rules and regulations are now being tweaked for beautynet.com/contessa and our April issue), nothing inspires hairstylists more than beautiful images of great models sporting gorgeous, sexy, diverse and interesting cuts, colours and styling. In this issue we bring you three knockout collections that we found very inspiring.

The first is from Edwin Johnston of the Cutting Room Hair Design.

Edwin had more than a little spring in his step when he produced this boxing-themed creation for Contessa 17. The second is a stunning collection entitled L’Élégance, from Martin Hillier, artistic director for Senscience. And the third is the winning Touchable collection

by Lisa Shepherd, for which she was recently crowned 2005 British Hairdresser of the Year.

Anti-aging products are all the rage these days. With baby boomers fast becoming the larger percentage of the population, manufacturers are developing products that meet the demands of this lucrative niche market. Check out page 28 for our look at some of the professional hair products on the market to sell to your clients now.

ONE OF THE THINGS I LOVE about spring in the beauty biz is the flurry of activity, shows, new product launches—it creates a fresh new feeling about the business of beauty. In our industry, we’re constantly reinventing ourselves and our businesses, because what’s new is hot.

And in this ever-changing world we live in, clients are demanding more.

Whether it’s the haircut or colour, nail service or salon products, staying on top and being informed will keep you on the leading edge.

In our industry manufacturers work diligently to bring you the latest technology, whether it’s new ingredients or a complete makeover, as with the most recent re-launches of Joico and KMS. Joico’s brand manager, Dede Sgardelis says, “Joico is reinventing itself to meet today’s consumer needs through packaging, new categories and marrying this with science and technology.”

Brian Ahrens, general manager for KMS says, “KMS is also about new technology. However, an important part of the message is lifestyle, individuality and fusion of these components.”

Imagine getting excited about hair spray. According to Redken, 66 per cent of Canadian women use it. That should get any salon owner’s attention. Ka-ching! That’s one of the reasons Redken’s investing in this category and offering stylists great formulas and smart packaging with lock tops—good for anyone who travels.

Client savvy Paul Mitchell is introducing two new styling products called Express Style that reduce drying time. You gotta love that!

Why should you care? When major manufacturers spend serious money reinventing themselves with new formulas and ingredients, you can be sure they’ve done their homework. They’ve done the market research and recognize that in order to stay on your salon shelves they’ve got to keep fresh.

Think of Madonna, the queen of reinvention. Love her or hate her, she continues to be a force to be reckoned with in the music industry—and you’ve got to respect her for that. To drive home her point, her last tour was called Re-Invention.

Want to breathe some new energy into your business, your staff or yourself? Listen to the key words and messages these experts are using. You can apply them to your business and the way you talk to your clients, to keep you on the curve.

This cutting-edge German trio, known for geometrics, angled cuts and strong colours, is made up of stylists Cyrus Wachs, Cajus Wachs and Franck Zians. Winners of several coveted accolades, including the 2003 German Hairdresser of the Year Award, W&W&Z lectured at last fall’s Aveda Congress, where they discussed their inspirations and the need to stay in tune with urban street culture.—MA

Turn Back Time

CHER’S SONG ASIDE, EVERYONE WANTS TO TURN BACK THE CLOCK at some point in their lives. The baby boomer market is rapidly becoming the largest percentage of the population. This combined with the fact that as people age the environmental conditions affecting the body, including hair, become more apparent, is sending people in search of solutions to reverse the ravages of time.

Amanda Capobianco, brand manager for SEAH at Schwarzkopf Professional, says, “Over time four main factors influence the condition of hair: the cycle of growth, reduced metabolism, the decline of lipids in the cell membrane as well as a gradual reduction of melanin. As a result, maturing hair becomes thinner, with reduced resistibility, and loses its natural shine. It is also more vulnerable to external damage from pollution and sunlight and can become dry and difficult to manage.”

Your stereotypical senior citizen no longer exists. They want to look as young as they feel these days. Better still, the average 30-something-year-old is already looking for products to keep them looking younger.

Manufacturers are constantly researching and refining products to service this lucrative market niche, and savvy salon owners and hairstylists are getting in on the action. You see your clients every four to six weeks, and when they are in the chair is the best time to review at-home regimens for the keeping their locks looking and feeling their youngest. Here are a few of the professional products now available to offer your clients.—SP

Schwarzkopf has just introduced the newest member to the SEAH Hairspa line, Sophisticated Hair. It comprises four indulgent products to regenerate, revitalize and replenish delicate, dry and mature hair. This formulation contains fresh-water pearl elixir along with vitamin E and features shampoo, conditioner, a recovery cream mask and a leave-in concentrate ideal for combatting frizziness.

PureOlgoy’s NanoWorks shampoo and conditioner anti-aging formulas contain green tea, sugar cane, citrus and wine extracts and vegetable proteins and other ingredients for colour brilliance and protection. Both products also contain PureOlogy’s exclusive AntiFade Complex of full-spectrum sunscreens.

L’Anza’s CP Anti-Aging—The revolutionary Cystine Peptide Complex is found in the White Tea (a known antioxidant) Shampoo, Manuka Mud Conditioner (manuka honey is know for its healing properties) and Neem Plant Silk Serum (neem is a cornerstone of the Ayurvedic tradition) for replenishing vital cystine peptides in the hair through an advanced cross-linking process.

Nioxin Thinning Hair System—The first company to create advanced antiaging salon formulas for the scalp and hair has recently introduced eight threestep scalp and hair care systems customfitted to address individual needs.

Alterna’s Sulfate-and-Salt-free Caviar Anti-Aging Moisture shampoo and conditioner—A blend of three Alterna exclusive technologies—new Age Control Complex (caviar extract plus other ingredients), Enzymetherapy (for absorption) and Photozyme Complex (provides colour protection).

Makeup makeovers: a must-have for makeup artists

Get Glowing Be your own star ANN MINCEY OF REDKEN 5TH AVENUE NYC has recently published Get Glowing! You Are A Star Right Where You Are. At first glance, you might think it reveals beauty tips or gives advice on how to become a celebrity sensation. But instead, she shares insights on how everyone can attain balance and success in life—particularly inner beauty. Experiencing the impact of 9/11 was one of the motivating factors behind Mincey’s decision to write and publish the book.

In the book she explains, “What makes it possible for any of us to shine at full wattage, and to turn ‘becoming’ into ‘being,’ is giving daily attention to and balancing each of Five GLOWpoints.”

Get Glowing is an optimistic, inspirational life guide, written from the heart. Mincey offers tips galore on how to live life to the fullest and achieve the inner peace and happiness everyone desires most. Get Glowing is available at www.getglowing.com—SP

Found in translation French-English dictionary helps hairstylists break language barriers Arché-tif, a French-English dictionary for the hairstyling community, capitalizes on one of the key skills a hairstylist must possess: excellent communication. In a breakdown of salon tools, products, expressions and lingo, author Sébastien Coppeaux has compiled an extensive list of required terms that would allow any anglophone stylist to function in a Frenchspeaking environment, and vice-versa.

The dictionary was inspired by a Spanish stylist Coppeaux had a chance to work with in Barcelona who spoke six languages and was able to grow his business based on these fantastic communication skills. “People want you to speak their language. Thanks to his ability to communicate with all those different cultures, he was able to promote his great hairstyling skills as well,” says Coppeaux. “Not many stylists speak a different language than their own, but the most obvious aspect of our career is human contact and communication. It’s a real asset to be able to speak an additional language.”

Coppeaux grew up watching his mom cut and style hair at home, and later became a hairstylist himself. He drew on his own experience, and paid special attention to the questions being asked in the salon to complete this book. Arché-tif is currently available in French and English. Coppeaux also plans to publish it in Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, German and Dutch to English.—TC

M

akeup artist Robert Jones has created the perfect resource guide, a bible that all makeup artists should learn, consult, master and pass on to their clients.

With over 70 before-and-after transformation pictures, the book offers tips on how to help women uncover their absolute beauty by enhancing or downplaying certain features.

Broken down to the basic principles of applying makeup, it illustrates how to help a face look its best without today’s popular surgical procedures by utilizing makeup to artfully sculpt and accentuate its most flattering features.

“You’ve done a successful job in makeup when the woman looks prettier than she did before but still looks like herself,” says Jones. “She needs to be the most perfect her she can be.”

Jones also describes 10 makeup mistakes and what to do about them, but says the worst of them is thinking that more is better. “Many times it’s about what you don’t put on,” says Jones. “It’s about the makeup appearing as natural as possible. You can have just as much effect by lightening an area as darkening.”

Jones admits to having learned the techniques he now shares in Makeup Makeovers by committing big, ugly mistakes over many years and thereby learning what doesn’t work. His artistic background (he studied painting from the age of 7 to 13) also helped, allowing him to apply many of the principles he learned as a child to the three-dimensional canvas that is the face.

Whether you embrace the book’s talent-inspired advice or use it as eye candy on the coffee table to be pored over for its brilliant images, Makeup Makeovers is a great addition to your salon’s library.—TC

Receptionists can bring in new clients.

Making it work for the average woman INTERPRETING THE LATEST TRENDS IN HAIR, FASHION, AND MAKEUP for the consumer is a huge hit with daytime television viewers. Chrissie Rejman, producer of CityLine with host Marilyn Denis, seen daily across the country, says, “We have been on the air for 17 years, and every week on Fashion Friday and monthly on Makeover Madness we feature makeovers. It’s a Cinderella story we never get tired of doing—we’ve done thousands, and our audience still loves it!”

Because CityLine features regular guest experts, its team of top hairstylists, makeup artists and fashion gurus is well known to viewers. It’s like the destination show for hairstylists. The Makeover Madness contest, which makes over viewers from head to toe, is hugely popular and recently aired in prime time.

For two years in a row, CityLine has been invited to London, England, by Schwarzkopf Professional to film Schwarzkopf putting together its Essential Looks collections for hairstylists around the globe. CityLine then shows the footage to its audience, with guest experts interpreting everything for the consumer.

Bill Rowley, from Philosophy Inc., has been a hair guru for CityLine for over 15 years. He has been to London on both shoots and says, “The great thing about it is we bring all the news back and present it on a level that the audience can understand. We use real people, not models, so that a 45-yearold woman in Tillsonburg can relate to it. We take away the intimidation so that the average woman can feel good about the new trends and make them work for her.”

Just as the fashion world does shows twice annually, Schwarzkopf does two Essential Looks collections a year inspired by the textures, colours and shapes of the clothing from the runway shows. And just as the experts on CityLine interpret the elements for the makeovers, hairstylists in the salon can use the Essential Looks book to inspire and interpret for their clients when they are in the chair.

Rejman adds, “Bringing the story of the Essential Looks collection to our show has been great. Our viewers rely on CityLine to help them adapt it to their lifestyles.”—SP

1. Always answer the phone with a smile on your face. Believe it or not, people on the other end can hear the difference in your voice.

2. Always answer with a professional tone in your voice. Remember, the caller could be a potential new client.

3. If the caller is inquiring about service, ask questions about what type of salon or services they like to go to for their beauty needs.

4. Not all clients want to spend a lot of money. Know your salon’s products, services and price points. Be engaged, and familiarize yourself with all aspects of your salon’s business and you will find yourself subconsciously selling without even realizing it.

5. Ask yourself why a person would want to come to this salon, and be prepared to do the sales pitch yourself. Most salons should be able to cater to almost any client in some way.—SP

RUNWAY to STREET

When it comes to putting your best face forward, having the right receptionist can make a huge difference in how prospective clients view your business. Putting the best voice forward on the phone can make a big difference as well. This is true when dealing with regular clients who already know your salon, but it becomes more important when you’re fielding calls from possible new clients.

“A short consult with a prospective client can draw in business. I view each cold call for information as a possible new client,” says Janine Kozlov, receptionist for Lift Salon and Spa in Toronto. “When someone calls to ask about costs or services we provide, I take the opportunity to ask a few questions about what they are looking for in a salon or spa.”

Kozlov boasts that the right approach can convert many of these calls into future clients. “I challenge myself on how many I can convert,” she says.

Since the receptionist is not always the one who answers the phone, here are some tips anyone can use for projecting better service etiquette over the phone:

Anais Côté gets to live her dream with L’Oréal Professionnel

P

aris: the capital of fashion, the culmination of European flair and historical beauty. And Anais Côté from Montreal got to experience it all in an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity offered to her by L’Oréal Professionnel to work behind the scenes during Paris Fashion Week. Due to travel commitments, the winner of the runway style competition was unable to go, and first runner-up Côté filled in.

“I was ecstatic,” she says. “Who wouldn’t be happy? It all worked out perfectly.” Anais moved to Los Angeles for a threemonth stay the same week she was told she would be going. Just a few short weeks later, she was on her way to Paris.

“I was there for four days. It was like a dream,” says the enthusiastic Côté. “There were stylists running around backstage everywhere. I was assisting a stylist who had just finished working on Milan Fashion Week. It was so interesting to hear her story, and certainly motivating from a professional standpoint.”

The hairstyle they were asked to recreate was a straight-ironed look with a sideswept fringe placed behind one ear. The models wore natural-looking makeup. “It wasn’t the difficulty of the hairstyle that was impressive as much as the way the group worked together, stepping on each other’s toes but getting the work done. And of course the haute couture dresses were amazing. ” Côté immensely enjoyed the challenging structure of the contest that got her there. “I’ve never worked that way before,” she says. “Never having seen the hair before, its length, colour, texture. It was very exciting.” The group of stylists vying for the coveted chance to go to Paris had to create a hairstyle on a model they had never set eyes on before the day of the competition, with no mirror and within a limited amount of time.

“You can prepare to a certain extent,” says Côté, “but you can never be sure of what you’ll get. I had brought with me extensions of different colours and textures and had something in mind, but I had left myself a lot of leeway for change.”

After the whirlwind of activity in Côté’s life recently, she looks back and says, “It was a wonderful experience. I’m really happy to have lived it.” –TC

Qualified success FOR NEARLY 75 YEARS, COSMETOLOGISTS in British Columbia including hairstylists, nail techs and estheticians, were licensed under the Cosmetologists Act. The regulatory body, the Cosmetologist’s Association of BC (CABC), ceased to operate in 2003, as did mandatory licensing, due to the BC government’s repeal of the act.

On June 13, 2003, the new Cosmetology Industry Association of BC (CIABC) was incorporated under the Society Act of British Columbia. The CIABC is a voluntary membership organization. Norma Ann Eaton is its chairperson and CEO. She has been lobbying for the licensing of cosmetologists since the beginning of 2004 on behalf of the membership.

The Miscellaneous Statutes Amendment Act, Bill 16, which included an amendment to the Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act, was introduced in the British Columbia Legislative Assembly on October 27, 2005. Royal assent was received on November 24, 2005. Under the new legislation, cosmetologists will again be required to be qualified in order to work in the industry. “Currently the government is working with the industry to design a regulatory model and determine roles and responsibilities of the industry and the government. Decisions about these issues, including fees, and implementation dates have not yet been finalized,” says Eaton.

The number and types of designations for licensing are currently being discussed. The CIABC was hoping to have 13 different certificates of qualification offered. The thinking was that someone who wanted to work only as a colourist would only be required to train for a certain number of hours to be qualified. Why learn to cut when all you want to do is colour?

Eaton concedes it isn’t likely that there will be 13 categories of qualification, but more realistically six or seven amalgamated. She adds, “We believe the people in our industry need to be certified, the public needs to be protected and the people out there working in the industry need to be respected as professionals. Everyone knows that respect comes with certification.”—SP

Talking About Contessa Consumer media give great coverage again ONCE AGAIN, THE CONTESSAS have garnered some impressive editorial coverage in the consumer media. Internationally, from coast to coast and in many points in between, the media are giving headlines to the Contessas and interviewing Contessa finalists and winners for stories.

Canadian Hairstylist of the Year Rasa Jurenas was interviewed and quoted for one story that actually ran in more than 15 papers across Canada.

“With all the media attention, it has been wonderfully overwhelming,” says George Tsinokas, Valentino’s Grande Salon, winners of Canadian Salon Team of the Year. “It has had a huge impact on bringing in new business. I was amazed at how many of our clients actually knew what the Contessas were, and that we won. All our staff is so pumped from winning the Salon Team award. It’s been just great.”

To date, we have received or seen coverage on several TV stations, including City TV evening and noon news, CityLine with Marilyn Denis, Rogers, TLN as well as the major dailies including, the Toronto Star, Toronto Sun, Vancouver Province, Calgary Herald and Calgary Sun and on Web sites such as behindthechair.com —SP

8 TIPS TO MAKE NEW CUSTOMERS LIFELONG CLIENTS Once you’ve got them through the door, what can you do to ensure they come back for more?

WHEN GREETING A NEW CUSTOMER:

1.

6.

2.

7.

Guest services should stand up, smile, offer her hand and say, “Hi, my name is Suzie Service. Welcome to Ideal Salon & Spa.”

Take the client’s jacket and offer the client a refreshment, along with the new client form. Let him or her know the information on the client form will help you serve them better.

3.

4.

Guest services should formally introduce the new client to the technician.

Technicians should always take the time to go over the client form, clarify the information and choose one or two issues to discuss. Using a beauty prescription pad will help record your product recommendations.

5.

A new client leaves with a copy of the beauty prescription and hopefully with the products you recommended. Ensure that all products have a water-resistant sticker with your logo, phone number and address.

This acts as a daily reminder.

s a l o n > march 06

Everyone loves gifts. Present a beautifully packaged gift your first-time clients at their time of checkout. Thank them for choosing your establishment.

Immediately mail the new client a thank-you card signed by each member of the team. The owner or manager’s business card should be included.

8.

The next day, the owner or manager should phone and say, “My name is Suzie Service and I am the owner/ general manager of Ideal Salon & Spa. I know you have a lot of options for (the service experienced) and we appreciate your choosing Ideal Salon & Spa. We look forward to serving you again soon.”

These simple strategies are proven to impress new clients and increase retention and profits!

Keeping informed about new research related to the benefits of sunlight is a great way to intelligently respond to your clients’ questions and create opportunities to broach the subject with them.

Regular sun exposure also beats depression

A number of recent studies affirm that exposing your hands, arms and face to the sun for about 10 minutes a day can greatly benefit your smile. According to a paper published in the September issue of the Journal of Periodontology, Vitamin Periodontology D is just as essential as calcium for healthy teeth and bones, and the best source of vitamin D is believed to be the sun.

We all know the pitfalls of living in a country where we are subjected to long winters.

But did you know that there’s an actual disorder known as Seasonal Affective Disorder, characterized by depression and lack of energy?

The disorder, referred to as the “winter blues,” can be explained by a drop in serotonin, a brain chemical that regulates appetite, produces feelings of contentment and enhances mood. It is also known that light and warm temperatures promote normal brain activity.

There are many theories about how light affects mood and sleep, and some of the treatments offered as a solution involve light therapy. Exposure to sunlight is known to stabilize the levels of serotonin in the brain.—TC

GOLDEN PRECISION

New laser technology improves spray tan accuracy THE AUSTRALIAN GOLD LASER SPRAYTANS SYSTEM is revolutionizing the way we spray. With its patented laser-guided delivery system, it guarantees the lowest overspray, most accurate body detailing and drip-free application.

“This laser technology makes it unique in its market,” says Jennifer Homola, product brand manager for Australian Gold. The laser-guide applicators spray more accurately and use less product than traditional systems.

“The two red laser dots come closer together and become one to tell you you’ve precisely targeted the area you’re spraying at the proper distance for nice, even coverage,” says Homola, adding that its additional gravity-fed technology also makes it easy to clean, since the solution is in a cup above the gun instead of having to be squeezed through it.

The system also offers many alternative uses, since it can adopt different patterns: horizontal, vertical or diagonal. “It can be used to detail small areas, like tan lines, or just extremities; there’s a lot of flexibility.”

The high-volume, low-pressure feature, its quiet delivery and its low maintenance commitment make it very appealing to the spa industry as well. The Spraytans system has also attracted Hollywood makeup artists. Both Fox Network’s The Swan and model/actress Amanda Bynes endorse the product.—TC

Outplay utplay Outwit & Outlast Custom-blended manicures survive the test of time

“Begin by doing your prep work,” says Ellison.

For this award-winning nail tech, prep work means performing a waterless manicure (see page 46), which ensures the longevity of your client’s manicure. “Choose a colour from the kit’s recipe cards and blend powders according to the instructions.”

3

“You need to be extra-meticulous when working around the cuticle and the sidewalls of the nail,” warns Ellison. “Do not push the colour into the skin. Generally, three beads of product are enough to cover each nail. Always place them close to the centre and work outwards. Apply the mixture as evenly as possible.”

44

s a l o n > march 06

2

“Using an acrylic artist’s brush and liquid monomer, blend a medium-dry mixture whith the selected powders. Pick up a small bead of your mixture and place it in the middle of the nail bed. Pat and spread the mixture outward, creating a polish-like look.”

4

Next, Ellison files nails to the desired shape. “I give them a light buff as well, just to smooth out the imperfections. Be careful not to take off too much product. You want to keep the same dimension of colour throughout.

Usually, I apply cuticle oil when I’m doing the buffing. It allows you to see true depth of colour.” Apply your favourite topcoat. You may precede this with an exfoliating massage treatment.

hat are two things your clients don’t like about nail polish?

The first problem that comes to mind is likely its short lifespan.

Just think, wouldn’t it be great to offer brides-to-be gearing up for honeymoon getaways an extra-durable option? Or what about those teenage girls living through the insanity of exam month? Shouldn’t they be spared the stress of chipped polish?

Nail lacquer’s other little stumbling block is its pesky drying time, which many of your clients could easily do without. Although patience is a virtue, it’s a lesson that’s perhaps not best taught at the beauty salon.

Fortunately, there is another option: the custom-blended manicure. Creative Nail Design’s Custom Blending Kit is a set of colour powder polymers that can be mixed together into a bevy of colour options. Containing keratin-bonding agents, these powders adhere to nails to give strength and durability in almost every colour imaginable, acting like a semi-permanent polish. Manicures will last for up to three weeks, when clients can opt to get the colour refilled, or removed altogether. Added bonus: no drying time. Clients can fidget, look for their keys and put on their jackets without worrying as soon as the polymer is applied.

Jessica-Marie Ellison, 2006 Contessa Nail Art Technician of the Year, is a huge fan of these custom manicures. She considers them an extremely marketable and versatile service that can be suggested to myriad clients for both hands and toes. She takes us through the step-by-step process.

at that point nail polish will start wearing away. A dry manicure will actually save your client’s polish about three days of wear.”

“We have a lot of clients who come in on a weekly basis,” continues O’Reilly.

“Soaking their hands in water every time they come in for a manicure will weaken their nails.” And don’t forget the damaging effect that too much exposure to water has on skin—just think of what doing too many dishes does to a pair of hands.

Other benefits of dry manicures include time efficiency and sanitary advantages. Products like the ProLinc’s Be Natural Cuticle Eliminator need only about 45 seconds to work and don’t require water bowls, reducing risk of infections. Creative Nail Design’s Cuticle Eraser, another option for those making the switch to dry nail care, also contains a blend of alpha-hydroxy acids that will exfoliate and condition skin while preventing annoying hangnails.

SOAKING FINGERTIPS DURING A MANICURE is a practice designed for one purpose only: to soften the cuticle. As effectively as a warm, soapy solution performs this basic function, soaking a client’s hands during a manicure also carries several unwanted—and unnecessary—secondary effects. For this reason, several top nail techs are hailing the benefits of dry manicures, a technique that uses cuticle removers rather than water to soften the skin around the nail.

“Since nails are porous, they absorb water and expand during a regular manicure,” says Cathy O’Reilly, a nail technician at Toronto’s Lux-Spa. “If you apply polish while they are still expanded, it will begin to chip as soon as the nails dry and contract.” Jessica-Marie Ellison, who only offers dry manicures at her newly opened Star Beauty Bar, agrees. “Once you take nails out of water, they will shrink back to their normal size in about three hours, and

you don’t want in your chair

HE CAUSES OF DANDRUFF run the gamut from heredity, poor hygiene and diet, allergic hypersensitivities and hormones to extreme cold weather combined with the dry indoor heat of winter, stress or anxiety and improper use of hair products.

Many of you have clients who probably show up with it every time they sit in your chair.

Women are more inclined to look for answers to the problem, while men aren’t always as concerned. Let’s face it, they just don’t pay close attention.

Men need your advice and help. Fortunately, you no longer have to send them to the drugstore for you know what. These days, more professional hair care manufacturers are making formulations that you can sell to your clients to combat dandruff.

Take a look at these four for starters. Your clients will thank you.—SP

Salon Magazine lunches with Toronto Barber and Beauty Supply by Morella Aguirre WHEN SALON MAGAZINE ASKED TORONTO BARBER AND BEAUTY SUPPLY’S president, David Kaufman, to bring along a few old photographs to our lunch rendezvous, we certainly didn’t expect such gung-ho delivery. The man came armed with the best presentation of show-and-tell that I had seen in a while, an impressive array of vintage collectables borrowed from the “third drawer down” of his father’s desk.

Meeting at TBBS’s flagship store at the corner of Bay and Dundas, the downtown Toronto intersection that has housed Toronto Barber and Beauty since 1937, we decided on a little midday Hunan-style cuisine—an obvious choice given our proximity to TO’s bustling Chinatown. Representing TBBS were president David Kaufman, vice-presidents Joy Kaufman and Stephen Bercuson, VP of sales Terry O’Neil and purchaser Eddie Anuen. Chairman of the board Nat Kaufman and VP of finance David Ritchie weren’t able to make it.

First there was a lot of reminiscing: Funny stories were told, photos were shared, and a brief history of TBBS was relayed. David recounted his grandfather’s departure from Poland and his eventual settlement in Toronto.

He told us how his granddad began by selling straight razors to barbers, expanded his business with tonics and scissor sales, and later, as beauty salons began popping up, added the “Beauty” in Barber and Beauty.

But as proud as the TBBS team is of their past, what really excites them is speaking about the present and looking into the future. Realizing that professional product retailing is integral to the hairstyling experience, and not an offshoot of a simple haircut, Toronto Barber and Beauty Supply is enthusiastic about the potential behind its new division, Liquid Luxuries.

S Focusing on the exclusive distribution of PureOlogy and Alterna products, the creation of Liquid Luxuries is an important step in the evolution of this third-generation business, which now boasts six locations in the Toronto region. “When it comes to professional beauty products,” explains Terry O’Neil, “consumers are either luxury consumers or they are not consuming.

Salons have also changed. Owners are making sizable investments—they are investors with solid business plans.”

O’Neil is eager to move forward and ensure that Toronto Barber and Beauty meets the needs of this new generation of salon and client. And, considering the spirited presentation we got during our lunch, it’s safe to say that TBBS is welcoming the challenge. S

The expressive hues of L’Oré L’Or al Professionnel Geometric Colours Collection.

1. Golden and iridescent highlights are paired with a bold, geometric cuts. Wide bangs are contrasted with bluntly cut long hair, while a choppy fringe lines the season’s most desired reinvention, the bob. Look for the trendy violet in L’Oréal Professionnel’s LUOCOLOR collection.

2., 3. Red, caramel and gold highlights are applied to asymmetrical bangs and strong architectural cuts.

Sorbie took 2-inch sections and clipped each up out of the way as he worked. Once all the hair was tonged, he released the sections and raked through the hair with his fingers.

3. The Shape of Things

This collection by Louise Smith from Salon Essensuals in England illustrates the fact that clearly defined forms and cuts fit the season’s geometric trend, with a strong fringe stealing the show. Clean bobs, and a lot of texture keep the styles modern but classic. The solid colors in rich auburns, chocolates and blondes don’t compete with the beautifully structured cuts.

Sienna Miller is sure to spark a trend with her new short and sassy 60s Edie Sedgewick haircut. You can just feel the late 50s, early 60s vibe creeping up on us.

—Tana D’amico, Judy Inc.

Nail option: White polymer powder, part of the Acrylic Nail System from Quest by Perfection!

Makeup option: Deep black liners and shadows from Bed Head Makeup tip: Create a strong geometric eye, not necessarily with dark pigments, but with more rectangular shapes slightly blended.

Hair Translation… The commanding colours and compelling styling in Aveda’s Evolution-Revoloution Collection.

1. Cut without hard lines or rough edges by Aveda Stylist Dennis Clendennen (Houston, Texas), these curvaceous locks let colours melt into one another, generating a feeling of harmony that is as beautiful as it is powerful.

2. This style plays with the notion of romantic contradictions. Stylist Dylan Sit (Toronto) creates a strong cut that curves softly, while colourist Sue Thompson

(Calgary) places contrasting colours in an inventive and unconventional pattern that is somehow still feminine and inviting.

3. Once again, stylist Dylan Sit and colourist Sue Thompson team up to create a strong cut with striking colour. Aveda products were used throughout.

OR THE PAST THREE YEARS, I HAVE

been driven to create the strongest collections possible. Each shoot, I have wanted to push the boundaries and come up with something unique, fresh and inspiring. The creative process in itself is so important—the buzz at the shoot, the pressure. I love it, it’s a real high for me. I also love creating a history of what I have achieved in hairstyling.

It keeps me from becoming stagnant or simply resting on my laurels. I am driven to continue contributing to the industry in whatever way I can.

The boxing theme came from a general increase in the sport’s popularity. Movies, TV and fashion shows have taken their cues from the sport. I also liked the “THE IDEA HERE WAS TO CREATE AN ASYMMETRIC FEELING WITH SOFTER ENDS. THE HAIR WAS CUT DRY WITH A

idea of beautiful women looking a little rougher than usual.

“We are a world in conflict,” begins Martin Hillier, creative director of Senscience Liquid Luxury. “History shows us that during times of struggle, there are two trains of thought in fashion and entertainment. There can be a tendency towards austerity, with greys and sombre tones predominating on the runways. The other route during these times is escapism, glamour and a feeling of hope—the more optimistic side of things. The L’Élégance collection has been designed with optimism as its focus.”

To create the optimism of glamour and panache, Hillier and the Senscience team merged the glitz of old Hollywood with the boldness of the 1980s and the sophistication of fashion’s latest and most acclaimed collections. Hair is soft and elegant, shiny and exquisite, healthy and luxurious. Hillier makes note of “the power of the product,” an extremely important element in creating the overall look and feel of the collection’s graceful style. march 06 < s a l o n

FinishingTouch Lisa Shepherd captures British Hairdresser of the Year 2005 Text by Morella Aguirre

“I wanted to produce a collection that had the ‘touchable’ factor,” says Lisa Shepherd, “so that people would literally want to reach into the photo and touch the hair.” Brilliantly, and with her appropriately titled Touchable collection—which won Shepherd the coveted title of British Hairdresser of Year 2005—she exemplifies this objective beautifully. By focusing on hairstyling’s finishing details, Shepherd manages to visually convey the feel of supple, succulent hair through still photography.

Highfields Country Inn & Spa

Ancient treatments score high “Life is too fast-paced, and people need an escape for a night or two to recharge their batteries,” says Lisa Schiavo, RMT and spa director for Highfields Country Inn & Spa, an hour northeast of Toronto. “Most clients are looking for good food, nice accommodations, interesting local activities, but most importantly, the treatment services we offer, so that they can go home totally relaxed. It’s about lifestyle choices and balance.”

Just back from the Middle East, every year Schiavo (the name means “slave” in Italian) travels to a different part of the world to study spa treatments. She says Highfields business has grown exponentially and with a more dedicated long-term client base in the past few years. Clientele is split just about 50-50 men and women.

Plenty of star power has shown up over the years, too, including Ray Romano, Geena Davis, Christian Slater, Julianne Moore, Richard Dreyfuss, Holly Hunter, Julia Styles, Maura Tierney, Marcia Gay Harden and more. “Because it is small and private, the women really like it and phone from the set of shooting a movie in Toronto or the area,” says Schiavo.

So what are the top treatments offered at Highfields? Most clients want a combination of different treatments, with massage as a base. Like massage and hypnosis for stress management and relaxation, or massage and acupuncture, or Thai massage with Swedish after—an hour on the mat and an hour on the table.

Schiavo discovered Indian head massage, dating back some 4,000 years, in a small fishing village in southern India. “I noticed men getting their hair cut on the corner and they would always get a head massage (shoulders, neck and scalp). I ended up having one in a salon and I was hooked. It’s very calming for the person with the hyperactive mind—it rebalances.” The benefits are improved blood flow to the head and neck area, which increases the distribution of oxygen and nutrients to the tissues. It also stimulates the lymphatic nodes.

s a l o n > march 06

Stone therapy goes beyond the physical experience of typical massage.

Anti-Aging Full Body Treatment clients relax and rejuvenate while the therapist works on the body, mind and spirit. It combines customized cleansing and exfoliating products, essential vitamins, minerals and normal baric oxygen.

Himalayan Body Treatment is based on the principles of Ayurveda— meaning the science of life or longevity.

The treatment deeply cleanses and purifies, balancing and soothing the body while relaxing the mind. The client lies inside a tent into which steam and essential oils are pumped; the body sweats out toxins. It ends with a warm Shirodhara bath for the forehead, a popular treatment for different types of hair loss.

The tipi is used in the summer months for treatments like reflexology, reiki, hot stone and aromatherapy massage.

HERE’S NO DENYING THE POPULARITY OF the destination spa these days. The underlying draw is what they can do for their client’s well-being. What’s on the menu? Here we showcase one in Ontario and one in Quebec.

Balnea makes its mark in Québec Spa Balnea opened its doors just a few months ago and can already boast a steady clientele—it’s growing in popularity among Quebecquers and out-of-towners alike.

Stéphanie Émond is the mastermind behind its modern cuttingedge design and escape-like feel. With the expertise of Nomade Architecture, she was able to construct the perfect getaway for her clients. “It feels like we’re somewhere in Finland, or some other Nordic escape,” she says, directing the eye to the breathtaking beauty of Bromont-sur-le-Lac’s sprawling mountaintop view.

Even on a cold January Sunday afternoon, when the temperature won’t inch higher than minus 15 Celsius, the newbies and converts alike come asking for the unlimited-access thermal experience, a communal area of the spa that includes a Turkish bath, panoramic saunas, outdoor Jacuzzis, heated terraces, cold waterfalls, coldwater basins and a solarium with a fireplace.

When asked what prompted her to open this business, Émond, who hails from the fashion and event-planning world, says, “Having spent years travelling in Europe and living in Spain, I saw so many beautiful spas, and I realized that we needed something like this in Québec. People want it.”

Balnea offers a full-service menu, with original treatments and packages inspired by the spa’s treatment line, Sundari, an Ayurvedic-based Indian line. Other than the traditional body exfoliations, body wraps, massages and facials, Émond and her staff have also developed two programs that target specific needs: the slimming cure and the postural cure. The first consists of 10 sessions, with different body wraps, exfoliation, massages and pressotherapy as well as a nutritional consultation that aims to help clients tone their bodies. The latter consists of nine sessions with Swedish massage, chiropractic adjustments and stretching and flexibility programs.

Other popular treatments are the chromotherapy, which adjusts to physiological and emotional needs and works well as an additional service to the massage, and stone therapy, which can be done with both hot and cold stones.

“People will spend less in other areas of their life nowadays and splurge to take care of their bodies and well-being,” says Émond.

“It feels really good to watch them leave here completely recharged and rejuvenated.” S

LASHING OUT W

inter may be retreating, but highly dramatic eyes—last season’s cornerstone look—continue to dominate fashion trends.

That’s good news for salons offering clients semi-permanent lashes.

The precision-applied extensions—which are attached

that the glue used to secure their Permalash brand extensions doesn’t actually touch the skin but, rather, sits at the very end of the hair follicle.

As with anything focused on the super-sensitive eye area,

individually and not as a strip, as with old-school false eyelashes— can last days or weeks. Clients seeking a striking look for a wedding or special occasion are served alongside those wanting a subtly enhanced fuss-free boost for daywear or vacation.

Wearability, durability and versatility are key selling points of semi-permanent lashes, according to Stacey Danyluk, education coordinator for Esthetics Plus/LCN Canada.

“You can get the individual lashes much closer to the natural lashes and you can create more dimension,” she says, noting

cleanliness and sanitation are paramount; Danyluk stresses that tweezers used in the application should be sterilized.

Adds Andrea Theodoropoulos, educator and account executive with Intercosmetics, which produces the Lash It line of extensions, “We teach our students to first cleanse the eyes and to screen for allergies and infections. They also need to be intuitive—who is inclined to play with their lashes or is sensitive? Those people should be gently guided away from semi-permanent lashes.”— KH

Making the most of eyelash extensions

the JIE experience Celebrating a decade of success

“I

can’t remember the moment I decided to become a hairstylist,” says Jie Matar.

“Pursuing my passion for hair was not ever a choice, but more of a calling,” he adds, using a religious term that is perhaps meant to denote his profound respect for the art of hairstyling.

In fact, Matar has been avidly marketing his adoration of hair for years now, not only through the successful branding of his salon— now in its 10th year—but also through his imagery, products and the advocacy of his eponymous Jie-ified philosophy. Indeed, Matar personifies the JIE brand. He is Jie-ified. And, furthermore, he is wildly successful at it.

Commanding an elite clientele, working as a contributing stylist on several television programs and having a solid session portfolio, Matar’s carefully crafted image has obviously paid off handsomely. To the world he presents himself as a passionate artist who loves hair the way a parent loves a child. In this way, Matar has created a persona, a frame of mind and a brand—what he deems being Jie-ified. The end result reflects what everyone

s a l o n > march 06

by Morella Aguirre in the salon industry aspires to be: Matar doesn’t sell cuts and colours; he sells an experience.

That’s not to say that his love of hair isn’t sincere. His devotion to the industry goes far beyond ambitious self-promotion. Still the only hairstylist to present a runway collection at Toronto Fashion Week, Matar also deserves recognition for actively promoting the fact that “hair is fashion,” a powerful statement that also serves as the title for his spring/summer 2006 collection.

Creatively, Matar is a child of our global culture. He draws inspiration from his extensive travels and by observing the smallest intricacies in the people he meets and the art and architecture he encounters. Very respectfully, but still in a matter-of-fact way, Matar states: “The world is my supermarket and inspiration.”

Nature also plays a role in shaping Matar’s work and philosophy. For his aforementioned spring/summer collection, Matar drew from “images of spring change and renewal,” as well as “the natural beauty of man and woman.” Add to this an organic product line that is currently in the works, and one starts to realize that there is certainly more to being Jie-ified than first meets the eye.

ulie Matson is proof that taking big risks can be one of the most rewarding experiences in life. Two years ago, the thought of flying solo and opening up a salon was daunting. “I was nervous. I didn’t go to business school, but it was time to take a step after working 14 years in the hair industry.”

Two years later, the 31-year-old is not only a master stylist—she is celebrating her first anniversary as owner of Vancouver’s Satellite Salon. “What I find unbelievable is that the journey has been a smooth ride.” Matson admits she knew from the start the kind of design she wanted to create. “I think by observing and learning from past employers I was able to figure out my plan of action.”

When asked how she came up with the name of her salon, Matson is almost embarrassed to confess the truth. “I fell asleep one evening and in my dream the name of my business was Satellite Salon. I woke up and said, ‘that’s a great name.’”

Satellite Salon is 800 square feet located at the back of a newly renovated heritage building in an up-and-coming downtown hot spot. Described as modern, it also has the cozy comforts of an intimate salon. “It’s more like a hangout, and I appreciate how the surroundings make new clients feel calm rather than intimidated or anxious.”

Matson says she thrives on the incredible amount of natural light. “The only downside was the view from the windows. Rather than hide it with blinds, my designer, Matthew Quetton, used frosted white circles as camouflage. It connects nicely with the white circular chairs and atmospheric theme.”

A fan of soft, warm colours, Matson promised herself she wouldn’t use black. “It’s too harsh for me. I wanted the look of walnut browns mixed with blues and whites. It gives off a relaxing and positive ambience.”

While trying to design a modern salon in an old building, her designer illuminated all four sides of the original brick wall softening its look. “It’s aesthetically pleasing to the eye, and a day doesn’t go by that a client doesn’t have to take a second look because it appears as though it’s the building next door,” laughs Matson.

As a new business owner, Matson is also an international educator with Lakmé Cosmetics, a new line from Spain. “It just arrived in Canada and it carries a full spectrum of hair care products. As a stylist you want a variety to satisfy customer’s needs.” S NAME

FEEFIND EGOS Goldwell’s newest addition to the Trendline of retail products is Super Ego, a moulding gum with a lighter texture than a paste but more solid than a cream.

THE LAST WORD

RISE AND SHINE: Men’s Hair Products

by John Steinberg

PHOTO BARRIE WENTZELL

W

hen I started hairdressing in England in 1959, good salons didn’t allow male clients across the threshold at the same time as their female counterparts.

Even in Canada, until about 1975, a man who wanted to have his hair cut by a hairdresser—as opposed to a barber—had to come in after the last woman’s appointment was over. Then that terrible name “unisex” began to appear.

Nowadays I would say the clientele in any good salon would be 30 per cent to 40 per cent male. And although we have never seen an array of men’s hairdressing products to match today’s choices, there certainly have been predecessors.

Take Macassar Oil, for example, named after the district of Macassar in present-day Indonesia, and originally obtained by pressing ylang-ylang seeds.

At the beginning of the 19th century, a Mr. Rowland of Hatton Garden in London, England, invented a version made principally from coconut oil. Rowland successfully marketed his product as Macassar Oil in deeply embossed square glass bottles; one hopes there was at least some ylang-ylang in there somewhere. An 1812 edition of the Edinburgh Advertiser newspaper in Scotland gushed: “MACASSAR OIL, for the HAIR, a preparation that surpasses all others for eradicating all impurities of the Hair, and increasing its growth where it has been bald for years; strengthening the curl, and imparting a beautiful gloss and scent… This inestimable Oil has also received the august patronage of their Royal Highnesses the Princess of WALES and Duke of Sussex, and a great number of the nobility.”

While the essay’s author (Rowland’s son) probably wasn’t inclined to objectivity, Macassar Oil undeniably became all the rage with Victorian and Edwardian men to smooth their hair.

In 1927, Benjamin Clarke, a Kansas City, Missouri, barber and amateur scientist, put together a hair and scalp tonic in his basement. Clarke called it Lucky Tiger Tonic and sold it from his barbershop. Then in 1935 Lucky Tiger was trademarked, and blossomed into a classic American barbershop brand of men’s grooming products.

At first its advertising was quite tame (“Lucky Tiger saves your hair”) but in the ’50s, it got straight to the point. “Lucky Tiger gets the gals! (which one do you want?)” proclaimed an Esquire magazine ad. The ad depicts a lucky hunter standing with a large rifle propped against his thigh, coolly surveying three female trophies on the wall—a buxom, smiling blond, brunette and redhead. Subtle stuff. Small wonder that in 1953 the company put out a product called Butch Wax. Back across the pond, in 1929 a chemical works in Birmingham, England, concocted a men’s pomade from mainly water, mineral oil and beeswax. The company called the oily cream Brylcreem, for the brilliant shine it gave to the slicked-back men’s styles of the day.

To say Brylcreem caught on is a gross understatement. Its popularity with Royal Air Force pilots in the Second World War led to their nickname, “The Brylcreem Boys.” The appropriately named Combe Corporation marketed Brylcreem in the United States. In 1949 the corporation came up with the catchy little jingle: “Brylcreem, a little dab’ll do ya! / Brylcreem, you look so debonair! / The gals will all pursue ya, / They’ll love to get their fingers in your hair…” The product was everywhere in the 1950s. Public swimming pools in England had Brylcreemdispensing machines, and in the States, teenage rebels who used Brylcreem to slick their hair into pompadour, ducktail hairdos became known as Greasers.

Of course the emergence of The Beatles in the 1960s changed men’s hairstyles completely. Hair products didn’t really figure for men again until the ’80s. Believe it or not, to get a slick, shiny look for men’s hair, we used K-Y Gel. (I’ll describe it as a personal lubricant—draw your own conclusions.) Anyway, it did the job, except that, once dried, it flaked if you tried to brush it. Fortunately, Joico came out with Ice Gel. Sighs of relief all round.

In the mid-1990s, the Caesar cut popularized by George Clooney and the pouty Gallagher brothers of Oasis didn’t require styling products. The haircut worked itself into shape. Around the same time, though, the metrosexual phenomenon emerged, together with an amazing amount of products for men.

And in case you’re wondering, both Brylcreem and Lucky Tiger are still around.

Lucky Tiger recently introduced a “New School” line with organic ingredients.

Brylcreem, meanwhile, launched a Web site (www.brylcreem.co.uk) k in 2003 to k) encourage 21st-century dudes to use its new line of products. The company had signed up David Beckham—together with his wife, Victoria “Posh Spice,” arguably the new British royalty—to a promotional deal. But unfortunately, he shaved his head.
