othing says spring in Canada, and in the salon industry, than making it out to your favourite beauty show. I’m looking forward to this year’s Toronto ABA, where some new things are happening. If you haven’t heard already, the show is taking place earlier this year, from Feb. 28 to March 1, and, among others, the Vidal Sassoon team will be presenting on the main stage. The ABA has also moved all cash and carry to one central location. This initiative is designed to put the focus back on education, while still meeting the needs of the shopper. Be sure to check out abacanada.com for more info. I’ve become more involved with the ABA this year since my philosophy is that it’s better to be part of the solution than the problem. The ABA does a lot of good work behind-the-scenes, and the shows are simply the most visible mandate the association offers. Having attended over 25 Toronto ABA shows, I’m learning that bringing new ideas and keeping it fresh (and the members happy) can be a tall order. I welcome your input and thoughts. Unfortunately, the 2010 ABA Vancouver show has been cancelled due to venue conflicts and the Olympics. The good news is that the show promises to be back in 2011 with more gusto in a new venue, the Vancouver Convention Centre West, considered one of the most beautiful facilities in the world. It’s bound to be a fantastic event. In the meantime, speak with your local distributor about what’s coming up in terms of spring education events. Another hot topic that has salon owners in Ontario and British Columbia riled up is the new harmonized tax that will take effect in July 2010. I asked one of my favourite business gurus, Michael Hlinka, tenured professor at George Brown and CBC Radio business commentator, for his thoughts. “As a general principle, the HST is the biggest non-issue of all time. All industries are treated similarly, therefore the (relative) impact will be non-existent. For almost everything—including housing—the absolute impact will be negligible.” Whatever your opinion, my advice is get prepared—flip to page 36, where we cover the basic need-to-know info and talk to your accountant to get a plan in place. Don’t let it affect your business; take a proactive approach.

AHOY!

Soft curls are the latest challenge this season With over 50 per cent of the female population having naturally curly or wavy hair, guaranteed you’ve heard a handful of clients complaining about the difficulty of managing their wild manes. From out-of-control frizz to the time it takes to style every morning, this type of hair can literally be quite a handful. One of the trends this season is soft, free flowing curls. But this look doesn’t always come easily to curly-haired clients, and therein lies the challenge. Arm them (and yourself) with the latest curl-friendly product innovations. *Statistic courtesy Redken

Redken Curl Collection This new three-product line addresses different levels of curl to offer clients a customized styling solution. The specific moisturizer in each product (avocado oil, sunflower oil or mango butter) provides various levels of hydration offering perfect curls every time. Info: redken.ca Tigi Catwalk Curlesque Curl Collection A medley of kelp, algae, cucumber water, seaweed and sea fennel form this line’s Aquacomplex, which gives curly hair an extra boost of hydration and definition. Watch out for this new line of curl products this April. Info: tigihaircare.com

Living in Harmony Your guide to getting HST-ready

rate and what it would apply to in one section of the software.” Elliott reassures salon owners concerned about tracking the new tax that this too will be a cinch. “Our software provides a variety of reports that deliver a statement of the taxes collected both in detail and summary form for any date range.” Labrosse adds that staff should be ready to answer consumer queries. Managers may even want to provide a script for employees that clearly explains how HST differs from the old tax system, how much services will now cost clientele, and that this is not a price increase on the part of the salon, but rather an industry-wide change resulting from governments coordinating taxes. Elliott says an immediate but short-term effect on revenue pushes customer retention to the top of a salon’s priority list. She recommends following up to see how new prices are affecting customers. “If you haven’t seen your clients in a while, give them a quick call, send them a quick email, let them know that you’ve noticed that they’ve not been there,” she says. She also suggests client surveys that can be answered anonymously. “That way if clients are uncomfortable speaking to you about financial situations, you still have a way of finding out what’s happening.” Staying in touch and providing a valuable service will make the difference between clients who jump ship and those who stay loyal, whether by absorbing the new cost or

spacing out their visits. Perhaps most importantly, staff shouldn’t join in any unwarranted panic. “Look very organized and well-presented, and speak freely about it—almost welcome the change,” Elliott says. Finally, in order to help business owners with the HST transition, Ontario’s Ministry of Revenue is holding free tax information seminars across the province. For a full list of seminars, go to rev.gov.on.ca. Also, starting in July, the Ontario government will be offering small business transitional assistance of up to $1,000 for GST/ HST registrants who make less than $2 million in annual revenue. The British Columbia Ministry of Finance is also offering a variety of outreach programs, including an online newsletter that will continuously send updates and info. Head to gov.bc.ca/hst for more info.

he harmonization of sales taxes in Ontario and British Columbia has many in the salon industry leery of HST’s July 1 rollout date. But with foresight and focus, salons need not worry in the long run, industry experts say. HST reform will combine the separate provincial and federal sales taxes on products and services to a single tax of 13 per cent in Ontario and 12 per cent in British Columbia. Although it won’t affect prices for goods that previously carried both a PST and GST charge, it will hike costs for personal services like haircuts and other salon specialties that used to be PST exempt. But Sunny Labrosse, CFO for Collega for Aveda, says HST also comes with business benefits and long-term savings that some experts say could trickle down to the salon client. For example, under the old system, salons couldn’t deduct the PST from the cost of materials and products bought from their distributors; instead, that cost was embedded and passed on to the consumer. But after the PST and GST combine, the sales tax on business inputs, which includes everything from shampoo to tools, will generally be reimbursable through input tax credits. In addition, compliance costs (what businesses spend, in time or in money, conforming with government requirements such as legislation or regulation) under the new streamlined HST will be significantly reduced, with one set of forms, one payment system and one point of contact for audits, appeals and taxpayer services. In the short term, however, salons will have to prep themselves for possible customer confusion and revenue loss. Labrosse recommends placing a sign at the front desk that informs clients of the upcoming changes. He also adds that HST education “needs to be addressed on every salon level,” suggesting managers set time to educate stylists and front desk personnel. In terms of updating your software, Dayna Elliott, head of education at Milano Software, says that front-line employees need not fret: “The HST means a simple change of just two or three fields. It’s a matter of changing the specific

This is a low, sleek ponytail adorned with a textured bouquet of waves—a play on smooth versus rough. Hair is sleek and groomed on each side of the head and through the ponytail, with a slightly rough, matte finish on top and elegant, textured waves pinned above the pony. The finished look is chic and contemporary with a bit of attitude. “This is an elegant alternative version of the ponytail—beautiful for evening,” says Beenders.

The Look:

This is a sculpted, voluminous chignon with a textured, 6 in. wide, sheer black ribbon woven through the hair in a spontaneous and organic way. “The collection is rich with different textures and materials, so Jason and I worked together to create a hair look that plays with this idea,” says Gilbert. “It has a very girly yet edgy feel.” Photos courtesy aveda

Speaks Volumes This season big hair is back in an even bigger way By Melissa Brazier

ophia Loren, Gisele Bündchen and, yes, even Pamela Lee in her Baywatch days all have one thing in common when it comes to their hair: volume. Voluminous manes are nothing new—popular in the early 1900s, the 50s, the 80s and, here we are again, in 2010. Janine Jarman, a Sebastian Professional design team member who worked exclusively with the new plumping line Volupt, says today it’s all about wearable, long-lasting volume with a soft and touchable feel. This was the same concept Jason Kearns, owner of Toronto’s Kearns Davidson Salon, applied to his latest collection, titled Quiet Volume (shown here). “What I’ve shown is a way of hair being dressed that works for everyday,” he says. So, what’s the key to achieving big volume? First, start with a great cut. “If you’ve got hair that’s heavy, it’s very hard to get the volume to stay,” says Kearns, adding that in this particular scenario layering and texturizing throughout will create necessary body. Jarman cuts concave layers to give hair more oomph. She also lives by the credo “less is always more,” and says that old-school trick of gluing hair into place using a harsh spray is so passé. Go for products that give a more touchable, flexible hold. The second step is to brush up on your dressing skills. Jarman, for example, uses a backcomb-set technique in a lot of her work. “No teasing or ratting of the hair. Using a comb or brush, backcomb at the roots in small circular motions, pushing the hair forward and down. Set the hair with hot rollers or an iron and then clip it into place to allow it to cool into its shape,” she explains. Kearns adds that it’s essential to nail the basic techniques like the pin curl or working with a standard curling iron to create the soft volume that’s everywhere right now. Lastly, a new styling tool we are seeing all over the place is the volumizing iron with ridged plates that create a very subtle, crimped look. Mario Grassa, owner of Woodbridge ON’s Hairspray ’N Gloss, uses the Hot Styler Root Volumizing Iron in the salon to give fine-haired clients a secret boost. “Pull the hair straight up and slice it across the front of the crown area. Then go right to the root, keeping the iron on a lower heat setting, and clamp and hold for a few seconds. This will make the hair pretty much stand up,” he explains, adding that the crimp is so fine, no one will even be able to see it. So whether it’s big waves or discreet body your clients are craving, be prepared—volume is here to stay. S

Straight Up The latest in-salon straightening services By Anupa Mistry

“

didn’t realize how many people with frizzy hair would do anything to change their texture,” says John Donato of Toronto’s Donato salons. Today, after incorporating Keratin Complex Smoothing Treatment by Copolla into his service menu for over two years, Donato knows that smoothing treatments are sellable services. Timothy Meerman, a stylist and instructor for Bio-Ionics Japanese Straightening system at Daddario Hair Co. in Toronto, agrees, adding that straightening services make life easier. “Most women don’t need to use a flatiron afterward,” he says. “They just wash and go.” So are all services alike? Not quite. We got the scoop on two of the most popular services cropping up in salons.

Keratin treatments “Keratin-based smoothing treatments remove frizz and therefore 95 per cent of curl,” explains Donato. “They soften the hair and are perfect for those who want to retain some body and bounce.” Virtually all hair types—from unruly to relaxed hair—can benefit from Keratin Complex, says Artist Choice educator Loucas Matthew Reklitis. “There’s no risk of damage or overprocessing. It helps make hair manageable, smoother and healthier.” Keratin smoothing works like this: After a consultation, a high-pH-level clarifying shampoo is applied to open up the hair shaft. Hair is then blow-dried without a brush, slathered in keratin, then capped and processed for about 30 minutes. Once the cap is removed, the keratin is blow-dried into the hair and then sealed into the cuticle with a flatiron. For 72 hours, the keratin has to harden into the hair, so clients are advised to wear it naturally until they return for a blow-out, where stylists can see the final result. Hair can be coloured and highlighted the day of application. The effect lasts for three to five months, but can be washed out over a couple of weeks with a shampoo containing sodiumchloride if the client wishes. For results to last, clients should use a sodium-chloride-free shampoo as well as suggested shine products and ironing tools.

salon52.ca

Another keratin-based system, Global Keratin, uses non-hydrolyzed keratin. According to its founder, Vanderlei Tibolla, other straightening treatments are made with hydrolyzed keratins. “This process destroys the long chains of proteins that make keratin an effective treatment for hair,” she says, adding that Global Keratin is the only company making hair care products with pure keratin that has not been denatured.

Japanese Straightening At Daddario, Meerman has been using BioIonic, a permanent chemical process made of natural volcanic minerals from Japan, for two years. “Bio-Ionic allows you to take the hair beyond regular straightness to the extreme,” he explains. “It’s dependent on the individual, but we don’t recommend Bio-Ionic for tight, curly hair since the roots will show. It’s perfect for women with thick, wavy hair who flatiron daily to remove volume.” Before starting, Meerman checks for porosity to ensure hair can withstand the service. He then uses a clarifying shampoo and applies the product to the most resistant area first (i.e. mid-shaft), taking care to leave a quarter inch between product and scalp to avoid breakage, irritation and ultra-flat roots. Processing time ranges from 20 to 45 minutes depending on the hair. Following a thorough 10-minute rinse, hair is blow-dried, brushed and flatironed (using ionic tools). The flatiron passes through paper-thin sections three times over to avoid springing back to a curl. A neutralizer is applied to help restore shine and smoothness, and rinsed out. After a final blow-dry and iron, the client is advised not to wash, tuck or tie up her hair for three days, allowing the chemical to air-neutralize. Two weeks must pass before colour or highlights can be applied. It’s a meticulous process, but the results, lasting four to six months depending on curl pattern, are astonishing. “Hair is silky and moves unrealistically—in a good way,” says Meerman. Along with the recommended BioIonic products, Meerman suggests clients flatiron their roots to prolong the effect until they are ready for a touch-up. S

Schwarzkopf Professional relaunches the BC Hairtherapy line with a new superior formula

s a cosmetic ingredient, proteins pack a lot of power. Now, after leaving their mark in the world of skin care, the latest in protein innovation comes to hair care, as part of the recently relaunched BC Hairtherapy line. All 18 products feature the patented Amino Cell Rebuild Technology, which closely mimics the makeup of protein in human hair as it’s formulated with all nine amino acids. This key ingredient goes beyond filling in the gaps and actually rebuilds the architecture of the hair. With the relaunch of this line, SKP also adds to the BC family a Volume Boost range. Consisting of a shampoo and detangler, these two new products give hair body and fullness via the Bamboo Lift Complex. Also new to the line is the Moisture Kick Recharger and Hair & Scalp Deep Cleansing Pre-Shampoo. The former is a gel-to-mousse treatment that restores moisture and shine in just five minutes, while the latter is a two-to-three-minute pre-shampoo cleanser that exfoliates and tones oily scalps for a healthy clean balance. Plus the entire line’s packaging has been redesigned, colour coding five hair care categories— Repair Rescue, Color Save, Moisture Kick, Volume Boost and Hair & Scalp—making it even easier to prescribe at-home care to clients.

In with the New

L’Oréal Professionnel launches the highly anticipated Inoa colour line By Morella Aguirre

ts name, Inoa, combines two concepts: innovation and no ammonia. It’s like “advertorial,” ”brunch,” or ”Brangelina”—a portmanteau word that blends the sounds and meanings of two terms to create a new one. In fact, there are several attributes that make Inoa a very new kind of hair colour. Launched in late January of this year by L’Oréal Professionnel, Inoa is not a traditional ammoniafree formula or demi-permanent colour. This premium service introduces a new method of delivering colour molecules to hair—a process that can lighten up to three levels and deliver permanent colour results without the need for ammonia. Ironically, the major innovation behind Inoa—its Oil Delivery System (ODS)—is a concept similar to one of the most commonly recognized principles of chemistry: oil and water don’t mix. Yet, as simple as the concept behind the Oil Delivery System may appear to be, its implications are significant. No ammonia, no odour and increased comfort on the scalp are the most noticeable improvements and likely the ones that will first grab your clientele’s attention.

The Oil Delivery System As colourists out there know, hair colouring systems require an alkalizing agent in order to activate oxidation. Ammonia, recognizable by its pungent odour, is the most commonly used in traditional permanent colour. It works to stimulate the system’s developer and swell hair’s cuticle—thereby allowing colour formulas to penetrate into the cortex. A milder and odourless alkaline agent, monoethanol amine (MEA), is also widespread and found in non-lifting, demi-permanent colour systems and some ammonia-free permanent colour. According to Colin Ford, director of education and events for L’Oréal Professionnel, conventional ammonia-free permanent systems contain four to five times more MEA than demipermanent lines. “Up until now, the biggest challenge [in formulating ammonia-free permanent colour] has been the

levels of MEA,” says Ford. Yet, while still offering permanent colour results, Inoa uses the same levels of monoethanol amine as tone-on-tone colour. The reason for this is the Oil Delivery System, which increases the efficiency of Inoa’s colorants and alkalizing agents. A mineral-oil-based component, ODS coats strands of hair and—similarly to how oil repels water—repels Inoa’s colour and alkaline components and then forces them deep into the hair. In classic systems, explains Ford, a few of these key elements always stay on the surface. However, with the repelling force of Inoa’s ODS, “the only place for colorants to go is in the hair. It’s simple chemistry.” Ford adds that this method of pushing colorants into the hair fibre helps boost colour longevity. One reason is simply because all colour and alkaline agents are pushed into the cortex by the Oil Delivery System. Next, going ammonia-free helps maintain the integrity of the cuticle. “Compared to classic colour, this process offers 45 per cent more protection to hair‘s natural layer,” says Ford. “Hair is also left 25 per cent smoother.” Increased comfort for the client is also a huge bonus. Not only is the product completely free of any odour, but ODS technology also allows for dermal protecting agents to be added. In trials by L’Oréal Canada, says Ford, nine out of 10 clients said they felt as if they had nothing on their scalp when Inoa was applied and left to process. Finally, Inoa’s unique formulation has allowed L’Oréal Professionnel to add five times the amount of its patented protective compound Ioène G, giving clients an extra boost of conditioning.

which needs to be kept separately until use. A 20 volume (6 per cent) developer, containing the Ioène G compound, is the next component. Concentrated 8-gram mini-tubes of colour and alkaline agent are the third and final part. Precise mixing of these three elements is key to optimal performance, explains Ford. This is why Inoa is mixed using a special doser that eliminates the need for scales and freehand guesswork and allows colourists to easily pour the correct ratio of each product: 40 grams of Oleo Gel to 60 grams of developer. Once gel and developer are mixed, they can be moved to a traditional colour bowl where two mini-tubes of colour are added. The result is a 116-gram colour formula every time. “One mini-tube of colour is a half application,” says Ford, noting that this helps create individualized colour results. A self-emulsifying mixture, Inoa has a creamy, yogurt-like consistency.

Colours and Coverage Currently available in 50 true-to-tone shades, Inoa can lighten hair up to three levels and cover grey and white hair. It is classified into nine colour families that include a range of both warm and cool tones. S

The Three-Part System While traditional colour requires two basic parts—a developer and a colour tube containing the colorant and alkaline agent— Inoa’s chemical properties require a three-part mixing system. The “oil” of the ODS system is found in the Oleo Gel,

After winning, Nickerson was given the chance to refine her image for the magazine shoot in Toronto with photographer Kint Quon. “The photoshoot in Toronto was amazing! Working with Kint Quon was awesome, he was very professional and easy to work with." Nickerson adds that using Essensity is important because greener products benefit both humans and the environment. "People are becoming more aware of what they use and how it affects the environment," she says. S

took inspiration from strong British haircutting and relaxed French styling to create a timeless contemporary collection. For me this set of looks began with researching images from the 1950s, 60s and 70s. I was particularly influenced by Richard Avedonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book Evidence, the classic black and white photos of Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren, Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly. I wanted to get as many looks out of the models as possible, so I shot eight models over a period of two days in three different locations. I tried to push new ideas and to be creative, but I also kept my shots and models looking pretty. I always strive for beauty and sensibility in my work, and the name of this collection is + Xposure, which is derived from the idea of having a positive image, like an old black and white photo. S

Keeping busy with multiple projects means Brennen DeMelo is not your average stylist By Anupa Mistry

PHOTOS COURTESY MARiO MiOTTi

“I

don’t want to be the next Vidal Sassoon, or the next Toni & Guy. I want to be the first Brennen DeMelo,” says the Torontobased stylist and salon owner who has already had a charmed path to success. “But I’m in no hurry to get to the top.” DeMelo is likely patient because, at 29 years old, he’s quickly ascending the ranks. Already the owner of a laid back, effortlessly cool namesake salon in the heart of Toronto’s club district, DeMelo works regularly in the fashion industry, recently landed a magazine cover (Elle Canada, Sept. 2009) and is an artistic ambassador for two globally recognized corporations, L’Oréal Professionnel and Rowenta Beauty. “I’ve always wanted to do hair my own way,” he explains of the varied approach to honing his craft. “Since I was young, I’ve been more interested in a really cool, streetwise method to hairstyling.” Born in Woodstock, ON, DeMelo—who grew up a selfproclaimed jock—was 14 when he decided to cut his own hair, discovering a “hidden talent” and impressing his hairstylist cousin. A friend was then called in for a haircut so DeMelo could prove himself again to the skeptic cousin. “Once I was finished, my friend turned to me and handed me five bucks. I thought ‘Wait a minute. I can make money doing this?’” From there, DeMelo—the son of a hard-working single mother—was sold on scissors. After the usual hair school jaunt, DeMelo moved to Mississauga, ON and began working for a salon owner whom he helped open locations in Oakville and downtown Toronto. In 2003, he left his position at the downtown salon and rented a chair while bartending and promoting club events on the side. And in 2006, with enough funds saved and a solid understanding of the managerial side of launching a salon, DeMelo opened

a small one-chair shop in Toronto’s cool Queen West area. This was the foundation for the current Brennen DeMelo Studio that moved to the city’s club district in 2008. The multi-chair salon also houses an event planning company and clothing store. But DeMelo’s aesthetic and drive kept propelling him out from behind the chair. In 2001, he met L’Oréal Professionnel’s Colin Ford (currently director of education and events), who helped him score a gig working backstage at Toronto Fashion Week. DeMelo, who confesses his thing is “high-fashion, editorial hair,” was a success and even rode out the change of backstageduty hands from LP to current group L’Oréal Paris. This relationship also led to him becoming a portfolio artist in 2006 and quickly scaling the ranks to land his current title of ID artist, helping develop trends. In early 2009, he scored an LP photoshoot in New York City with famed photographer Raphael Mazzucco.

Hopefully one day, people from all over the world will be coming to my academy. Mid-2009 also brought DeMelo another gig as artistic director for emerging tool manufacturer Rowenta Beauty. “This opportunity was awesome because it’s great to be a part of something new and have creative input,” he explains. Once Rowenta officially launches in the US, he hopes to helm a continental artistic team. In the end, the mix of in-salon, editorial and educational styling is helping him achieve his goal of inspiring people. “I think that’s why I’ve taken on so many roles,” he says, “so I can share my knowledge. Hopefully one day, people from all over the world will be coming to my academy.” And in late 2010 the young stylist-businessman-DJ is adding educator to his exhaustive list of accomplishments. “We want to host a fine arts hair academy, which will not only cover cutting and colouring and all of the basics, but also life drawing, photo shoots, editorial. That’s what corporate courses tend to push stylists away from, but that’s the kind of stuff that keeps me inspired.” S

SirtuinS Proteins are well known for skin-improving properties, and the class of proteins called sirtuins lengthen the lifespan of cells when stimulated by certain skincare ingredients. Considered “guardians” of cells, sirtuins repair damage, and when a cell has to decide whether to live or die, these proteins keep it going. Basically, they have the power to turn back time on the aging clock. Aside from their cell-saving and longevityboosting properties, sirtuins also promote collagen growth, helping mask fine lines and wrinkles. Look out for the term pro-sirtuin—certain ingredients contained in these products will act as a catalyst for the protein. S

ach year, Joico holds the Vero K-Pak Color Competition to recognize student and stylist achievements across the country. For two consecutive years, Jacob Rozenberg from The Lounge Hair Studio in Vancouver has taken home top nods in the stylist category. From SoHo Coiffure, a boutique-style salon in Ste-Foy, Quebec, Anaïs Couvrette won in the student category this year. Rozenberg speaks to the importance of the competition for stylists, “I am a very creative individual, as I think many hairstylists are. It is an art form, and the competition allows me to think outside the box.” Inspired by his model’s lips, Rozenberg crafted a heavy fringed cut that draws attention to his subject’s strong features. For his colour palette, he placed green, fuchsia and pink in a vertical pattern, creating a very bold and eyecatching look. Fairly new to the industry, Couvrette was encouraged to enter the competition by her teacher, Brigitte Dufort, at Académie Renée Duval. Her model’s striking blue eyes fuelled her copper colour concept for a drastic fireand-ice contrast. S

ith the reopening of Studio 237 as a new Matrix Biolage concept salon, the white-on-white décor combined with vivacious pops of green aligns itself perfectly with the colour scheme synonymous with the brand. Darek Wierzbicki, Matrix global guest artist of 14 years and the salon’s owner and interior designer, set out to create a warm yet highend environment with a few strategic decisions. First, he maintained the integrity of the 150-year-old building that houses his salon, keeping portions of the original brick wall, elegant crown moulding and laminate flooring intact. Next, he covered the space with various shades of white—crisp, pure white furniture and slightly off-white shelving—a palette that cleverly avoids a sterile and clinical feel. “The salon is crisp but at the same time serene and welcoming,” he says adding that it was a challenge working with almost all-white décor. The salon has a very open concept, with 14 ft. ceilings, eight styling stations with floating mirrors lining each side of the walls, two

backwash sinks tucked away under the stairs and a Matrix colour bar built in collaboration with Belvedere in the back corner. Up the stairs, a landing to the right overlooks the salon below and functions as a waiting area for colour clients. Wierzbicki calls this lounge area “VIP Biolage” and eventually plans to encase it in frosted glass for added privacy and provide computer access for busy clients on the go. Continuing up another set of stairs to the top level, you will find the esthetics area, which offers a basic service menu of waxing, facials, massages, manicures and pedicures. Besides the signature green and white design and the fact that it carries Matrix products exclusively, what truly makes this a “concept salon” is the ongoing education. Once a month a representative from Matrix Biolage will be coming to the salon to teach Wierzbicki and his staff everything from new products to selling strategies. So why did he decide to be the first salon of this kind in Canada? It’s simple. Wierzbicki notes his key to success is to create an ambience and culture in the salon. S

LAST WORD

y sister sent me a newspaper clipping from England last year. The Times Saturday edition had done a piece on one of my hair heroes, Trevor Sorbie. Trevor, an uprooted Scot, left school when he was 15 years old to work in his Dad’s southeast England barbershop. His artistry with hair quickly became apparent. Vidal Sassoon later spotted it and made Trevor his artistic director. In his illustrious career, Trevor has created style trends such as the wedge and the scrunch, won hairdressing awards too numerous to mention, jet-setted about the world, mentored countless top stylists and even received the MBE. He’s the only hairdresser in the UK who’s become so well known that his vocation was featured as a question on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and The Weakest Link. But nowadays Trevor has a new hairstyling direction, and it doesn’t earn him a penny. It all started when Trevor’s sister-in-law, Jackie, had to undergo chemotherapy for bone cancer. When her hair fell out and she got a wig, Trevor offered to cut it and make it look more natural. Trevor transformed her wig from something that resembled a hat into something that looked like real hair, and Jackie cried. She was usually a tough woman, so her reaction brought home to Trevor just how devastating it is for women to lose their hair. Sadly, Jackie died, but Trevor gave her life a legacy when he founded My New Hair. His pioneering charity supports a national network of independent UK salons and hair professionals who offer a caring and respectful wig-styling service for people suffering from medical hairloss. My New Hair is the first UK charity to focus exclusively on providing education, training and support in this field. Trevor calls his wig-personalization service “psychological medicine” and the “missing link” in medical treatment. And it’s free. As Trevor puts it, “How can patients feel positive and strong when their personal self-image has been rocked to the core by baldness?

s a l o n > march 10

Giving women back their hair—hair that looks natural, attractive and feminine—gives them back a little confidence to face the world in their darkest hour.” And in case you think this kind of caring only exists somewhere else, let me introduce you to Miss Rose, a Langley, BC hairdresser. Since graduating from beauty school in Regina in 1958 as a teenager, Rose has tended to thousands of heads of hair, as well as teaching hairdressing. But a trip to Toronto to visit her son in 2004 changed her focus. Rose’s son is one of Canada's top wig masters, who works with some major Hollywood stars. Rose wondered to herself why ordinary people can’t get great-looking wigs. Then she remembered her sister’s distress when she lost her hair during cancer treatment. So now Miss Rose brings smiles to cancer patients with her personalized, lifelike wigs. In between sets and cuts, she sits down with boxes of hair to craft wigs, tiny strand by tiny strand. Her wigs take about a month to make and start at $250. Consultations, preparation, loving hugs and any adjustments the wig needs are free. Thus far, 70 per cent of Rose’s hair donations come from children. If you’d like to help with hair donations, go to The House of Miss Rose on Facebook, and click on Discussions. S
