ANTI BREAK SUPER BLEACHING POWDER

EDITOR’S LETTER

Sign of the Times

M

en tend to be loyal clients. Whether their loyalty is to a fashion designer, restaurant or microbrewery, they all tend to have their signature favourites that they rely on time and

time again. Ask a guy to switch his brand in any of these or similar pillars and you’re likely to be met with severe glares and quick retorts.

After all, when you find something that works, why change it?

As we all know, men’s grooming has been a burgeoning market for several years. From hardline parts and fades, to beards and man-buns (and even braids!), we’ve seen a gradual shift, and it feels like the time is right for changing things up again. That’s one of the reasons we gathered two men’s hairstylists and a barber to talk about their

Today it is possible to perform a number of hair bleaching processes in one day while paying heed to the hair's health and reaching the desired results using the Anti Break Super Bleaching Powder.

Anti Break Super Bleaching Powder can create a perfect light color shade while causing 86% less damage to the hair fiber compared to bleaching processes using traditional powder.

thoughts on what the next big trend will be for men (spoiler alert: hair colour, anyone?), and who is better for the business: barbers or hairstylists. The one thing they all agreed on? Education is the key to growing your business. More and more, hairstylists are learning from barbers, and barbers are taking cues from hairstyling techniques, and the result is that each profession is being elevated.

With the dividing line among barbers and hairstylists continually thinning, everyone can build a men’s client base—no matter where you’re located. As one salon owner discovered in our Interiors story (on page 74), creating a pop-up location is a great way to test the waters in a new market. Another great way: Stocking your salon with the right tools, which we’ve hunted down (on page 58).

a little differently. Don’t be afraid to stretch your boundaries and try something new!

While watching this unfold, I immediately thought of my favourite royal watcher, Alison McGill of Wedding Bells magazine and former editor of Salon Magazine. So, of course, I had to ask for her thoughts on this specific time in hair fashion. Her take: “The reference to Vidal

after. Case in point, says McGill, is the queen’s younger sister and her approach to style: “Margaret was the modern, rebel princess of the era with the posh and party-loving Sloane Ranger crowd.”

The bottom line is, royal or not, a good hairstyle should never be undervalued. Whether you’re Queen Elizabeth, Princess Margaret, Princess Diana, Kate Middleton or Meghan Markle, or a non-royal who just wants to look great (and who doesn’t?), having a style that highlights your face and features in the best ways—physically and otherwise!—is vital. After all, hair isn’t called your crowning glory for nothing.

Better Bonding WELLA PROFESSIONALS INTRODUCES ITS FIRST IN-SALON AND AT-HOME BOND REPAIR SYSTEM. To bond or not to bond? Since bonding systems have quickly become part of the daily routine of many colourists, it’s time to get clients on board. Wella Professionals has simplified the bonding process by creating Wellaplex and Fusionplex, two comprehensive in-salon and at-home bond repair systems. Wellaplex is a three-step system including No1 Bond Maker, which helps create bonds, and includes a pH level of 9 or 10 for higher alkalinity to improve dye penetration and optimize colour life and performance. The lower pH level of the No2 Bond Stabilizer, balances the process and strengthens bonds and seals in colour. The No3 Hair Stabilizer is an at-home maintenance treatment for clients to use after their in-salon treatment to maintain results. Fusionplex offers three daily home routine products—Intense Repair Shampoo, Intense Repair Conditioner and Intense Repair Mask— each formulated with Silksteel Fusion technology that contains micronized lipids and amino acids for repairing damage, reducing breakage and protecting hair from the inside out. Wella also offers the Fusionplex Amino Refiller as an in-salon service to penetrate the hair’s cortex and replenish amino acids for superior conditioning and resilience to breakage.

What Men Want More men are discovering the importance of nail care. We get the lowdown from two leading “MANicurists” on what men really want from nail services.

I

t’s no secret that most men aren’t coming into the salon to try out the latest nail trend, but the fact remains that more guys are interested in taking care of their nails than ever before. So, what does that mean for

you? It’s all the more important to provide a superior experience and help them feel comfortable while they are in your salon. Here’s how.

BACK TO BASICS As with any nail service, setting the foundation for a manicure or pedicure is important, so it’s all about refining those basic manicuring skills of cleaning up cuticles, filing nails and providing a simple buff and shine. “The basics will take you anywhere,” says Tom Bachik, global brand ambassador for OPI. “A great manicure is not just about the polish, but about all the other things that come with it.”

SETTING THE BAR While men may not require as much from their nail services, that doesn’t mean they aren’t looking for a premium experience. “It really only takes one great at New York Fashion Week and Roger’s Cup. “Communication is always the key to having success with your clients. It’s all about using your skillset and expertise to help them achieve their desired look and result.”

Getting creative with nail services can assist with providing a personalized experience for men. Creating themed services, such as Heavy Duty for clients who work in intensive labour industries, such as construction, and may require a more intense service, or Nail Detox for clients who may have nail discolouration and damage to their nails. “Customizing a service can make it less intimidating for male clients and make it more specialized for their specific needs,” says Nguyen.

“I think the majority of male clients start off wanting to be well groomed, but often get hooked on the pampering,” adds Bachik. “I get a lot of men saying, ‘I got a pedicure for the first time, and it was the best thing ever!’”

RUNWAYINSPIRED STYLE From windswept looks to sleek and structured styles, we’ve rounded up expert tips and must-have products to recreate the top trends from spring/ summer 2018 fashion weeks.

THE TREND: SCULPTURED BY DESIGN THE FIX: WELLA PROFESSIONALS EIMI SCULPT FORCE In traditional Parisian fashion, hairstyles shown on the catwalks of Paris Fashion Week were a far cry from the “au naturel” looks that have been running rampant on the runways. Instead, Eugene Souleiman, global creative director of care and styling for Wella Professionals, opted for a plastic-perfect sculptured look.

Complementing designer Thom Browne’s sci-fi fairy tale-inspired show at London Fashion Week, the juxtaposition brought to life a futuristic aesthetic. Souleiman sectioned the hair and used Wella Professionals’ EIMI Sculpt Force to create an ultra-smooth, synthetic-like result.

THE TREND: DECONSTRUCTED AND DEMURE THE FIX: MOROCCANOIL DRY TEXTURE SPRAY Antonio Corral Calero, global ambassador for Moroccanoil, created ethereally romantic styles to highlight the ultra-feminine, Japanese-influenced collection by Marchesa at NYFW. Calero used Moroccanoil’s Dry Texture Spray

to give the voluminous French twist a windblown effect, which was contrasted with the show’s dramatic gowns for an effortlessly glam touch.

At NYFW, Sebastian Professional’s international artist Anthony Cole put a creative twist on the traditional low ponytail. Using the brand’s Microweb Fiber, an elastic texturizer for movement and texture, Cole incorporated intricate, four-strand weaving and braiding to coincide with the romantic yet progressive collection by designer Christian Siriano.

Purple Reign Top colourists take the season’s hottest hue in completely different directions.

U

ltra violet has been named the Pantone Color of 2018. How will this translate into the world of hair colour? We asked two Contessa

winners their thoughts on the hue that’s definitely not

Purple is one of those amazing high-trend shades that can be used as a pure all-over colour to give hair that coveted fashion edge, looks fantastic when diluted to an almost imperceptible lilac wash, and can also be interpreted as a shadow root effect on silvery

1. THE FULL-ON FASHION STATEMENT The ideal client for this shade is someone who has an outgoing, sparkling personality, and is not timid about experimenting with hair colour. “I don’t like segregating clients into age categories, which I find restrictive, so this person can be 20 or 55 years old,” says Michelle Pargee, Goldwell North American guest artist and a multiple Contessa winner, including Master Colourist of the Year. “When I do a solid monochromatic ultra violet look, I like using different tones. Roots can be deep purple, the middle and ends might be enhanced with a blue-based purple, and then a brighter purple might be dispersed throughout, in panels.”

Because it’s a very versatile colour, violet can be mixed with different shades, including coppers, for high contrast. “When you’re working with opposing colours, it creates a very edgy effect. Also, if you’re colour blocking it definitely creates an explosion of colour that punches,” explains JeanSébastien Chalut, a Revlon Professional platform artist and also the 2018 Contessa winner for Quebec Hairstylist of the Year who won the title with a collection (a collaboration with Tim Kuo and Loretta Tom, both also from Revlon Professional) featuring an intense violet. “For a great upkeep of the shade between appointments, I recommend my clients use Nutri Color Creme 200 Violet to refresh dulled hues and bring back a fabulous shine.”

with this colour for many years and featured it not only in my collections, but my own hair too. It complements most skin tones, so anyone can wear it”, says Pargee.

“Surprisingly, violet hair colour suits many different skin tones and a wide array of natural hair colours, particularly if you want to use it as an accent,” echoes Chalut.

For the average client who wants to test the waters of purple hair, Pargee recommends a type of placement in peeka-boo panels that can be seen in the natural movement of hair, or pop up (and become more pronounced) when the hair is in a ponytail or an updo. She adds that Colorance by Goldwell has a semi-permanent pastel indigo and pastel lavender shades that, “when mixed together in equal parts, make a gorgeous ultra violet perfect for those who want less commitment. It’s a true semi-permanent and slowly washes out. It also makes a great root shade on very pale blonde hair.”

3. THE POETIC PASTEL OPTION For a more subtle result, violet is very easy to incorporate in delicate strands when added to strategic areas for an elegant, understated effect, says Chalut. Another way to achieve this is to apply the colour tone on tone. “And if you want to be even more discreet, apply the shade with a babylights technique, which will give your client a very faint tint of violet,” he says.

Having a clean “silverized” base of level nine or 10 hair is important to achieve the correct pale violet. “The colour needs to be on pale hair that doesn’t have strong gold tones to show its full potential,” Pargee says. “Applied in a glaze or very fine babylights will add just the right touch of glimmer for the client who’s timid about this new shade.” Subtle violet highlights are also lovely for those wanting to experience this trend without going overboard.

Grey hair? It’s a fabulous base to add on any shade of violet! “If the client has salt and pepper hair, purple blends in almost naturally,” says Chalut. Pargee agrees, “I love pastel violets in grey because it’s flattering on most skin tones, but it’s always important to make sure you are applying it to a level nine or 10, adding a bit of grey pigment to cool it down.”

REAL TALK A B O U T M E N ’ S G R O O M I N G We gathered three men’s hairstyling pros—Edwin Johnston, Matty Conrad and Paul Pereira—for a discussion about the state of men’s grooming. As expected, there were no shortage of opinions, yet they all agree that the evolution of men’s grooming isn’t over yet.

By Anna Lee Boschetto

Salon Magazine: Let’s talk about 2017. What was your favourite men’s style that really took hold and what is the one trend you want to see go away forever?

Matty Conrad: For 2017, we saw the mainstream acceptance of really clean-looking barbering styles. Hairstylists got better at creating really clean fades, and I think we saw that hit hard with the mainstream.

What I noticed emerging was a lot of dishevelled texture and movement that looks a little less polished and less wet with more of a disheveled look, for more of a James Dean vibe. This is the precursor to having hair growing out—a little looser and less severe looking, more texture where hair moves around.

Edwin Johnston: I absolutely agree with Matty. Personally, I think we’ll see the fade go away for a while, but it is a part of men’s classic styling.

Paul Pereira: I really want to see the “man bun” with shaved sides. That whole look, just go away.

While fades will remain a classic component of men’s hairstyling, Matty Conrad sees men’s hair trending towards a more textured James Dean-style look.

SM: What about braids for men? Is that a look you would like to see go away too or is that something cool that can live on or return if it does go away?

E.J.: Oh, absolutely go away. (Laughs) M.C.: Who started that, anyway? (Laughs) P.P.: (Laughs) Just for the record, I wasn’t really serious when I did the braid in that hairstyle. My photographer even looked at me and asked what braids had to do with a 1930s inspired men’s look. Then, the next day, he called me and it turned out to be the best shot.

M.C.: The first time you showed me, I thought, “Hey, now that’s cool,” and then suddenly it was everywhere.

SALONMAGA ZINE.CA

SM: Where are you looking for inspiration?

M.C.: I’m looking more at the U.K. and specifically Kevin Luchmun, who I feel is at the forefront. I’m constantly looking at barbershops and what is going on around the globe. I’m inspired by the history of our industry.

P.P.: The work in the U.K., the whole focus on the early ’90s and now ’80s, Sixteen Candles and Depeche Mode and new wave punk.

SM: What do you all see as the distinction between barbering and hairstyling?

M.C.: What I’m noticing is an evolution of men knowing how to style their hair. In the mid-’90s there weren’t a lot of style-heavy looks, but now clients understand the products and get that they have to style their hair. I find that I’m spending time teaching barbers to be hairstylists more, and they are more sophisticated hairstylists and

barbers all around.

P.P.: At one time, only barbers cut amazing fades and hairstylists were better at styling hair. But now, we are seeing hairstylists like Matty going into the barbering world and barbers getting into hairstyling, so we see that blurring. In a salon, clients often pay more attention to their hair—that’s the biggest difference. Some guys might feel they need the help of a hairstylist to get a specific look.

M.C.: I completely agree with that, Paul. I think there still exists that idea that barbershops are for a fade and hair salons are more about style. Interestingly, this may not be factually based yet we all have that feeling. Although, there’s a good chance that barbershops may die off if that keeps up.

E.J.: One thing I’ve noticed is a huge increase in teenage boys in our salon. It’s this whole boy band revival—these kids are head-to-toe impeccably groomed. They are fussy clients, the most I’ve had in my life. It’s like this underground movement.

M.C.: Do you think that it’s because those guys weren’t old enough to remember the last time boy bands PHOTOS: KEYSTONE PRESS AGENCY, PAUL PEREIRA, MATTY CONRAD

were popular?

E.J.: Yes, and that’s exactly what’s happening. The amount of time they spend on creating their look is incredible.

SM: So, what does everyone think about men’s hair colour? What’s the verdict on pigment colour and grey coverage?

M.C.: I’ve seriously changed my tune. With the return of silvers and greys and the metallic colours, I’ve seen more guys going with this, especially younger ones. As we get into more textured looks, colour makes sense. Also, I do see a huge surge in the number of guys wanting to reduce grey hair, but not completely eliminate it. Some go

grey really early but they are pretty discreet about the service.

P.P.: I think we are running out of ideas for men’s haircuts. There’s a huge desire for people wanting their individual style and look. So looking to things like K-Pop and J-Pop globally, I think men’s hair colour is going to be it. Like with women, colour takes a great haircut to the next level.

SM: When you look at celebrities and athletes, who are the men that have nailed it and are looking good right now?

P.P.: Guys are still looking to David Beckham, even now with his hair being a bit longer. I’m not looking at celebrities, necessarily. I was in Dublin and London recently and I found that the looks for cuts is forward texture and a lot of hair flopping forward with the younger crowd.

M.C.: Yeah, [Beckham] has been an icon since he hit the pitch and he’s been really good at going through different style cycles; not that every one has been a winner, but he goes for it. For me, I’d say Tom Hardy. He goes back and forth with facial hair, and he always has

interesting textures to his hair. For longer hair, Jason Momoa. He may be a bit of a contradiction from time to time, with the scar through his eyebrow, but he has a really masculine look with longer hair.

E.J.: I’d say Harry Styles is a real trendsetter for young men currently.

SM: Do you use more barbering skills over hairstyling?

M.C.: Some techniques are about using efficient shortcuts. I try to focus on the elements of the technique that give us the best tools to do that. For example, knowing when to use your texturizer and razor. It comes down to the right tools for the right job, regardless of techniques.

P.P.: Everything is blurred right now. Keep in mind the importance that styling, with a blow dryer and the right product, plays. Using the right product in the right hair type is just as important as the cut.

For Matty Conrad, deciding to focus on men’s hairstyling lead him to pursue his overarching passion for creating a new approach to barbering.

SM: What types of products do you now use more?

P.P.: I’m using a lot of powders for the guys who have thinning hair.

My younger clients use hairspray to get that effortless look.

M.C.: When I started out, a water- or petroleum-based pomade was the most important product for men. Now, matte products with less shine make it look like an effortlessly cool style.

E.J.: Hair is getting messier and longer, and the styling product that I have is a clay and a wax mixed together. It’s super matte, and that’s what I’ve been playing with for both hold and texture.

S.M.: What is the one thing you wish you could tell your younger self?

M.C.: Look at the elements of what you do that you love. I realized I enjoyed men’s work and it was really a pivotal moment.

E.J.: Learn how to do it correct the first time. There’s an art and architecture, so understanding the hairline and shape, and learning those things correctly the first time.

P.P.: Be open. I had a point where the work I was doing evolved into doing more men’s styling. Then I found I had thinning hair, and I needed to find a new way to cut and style it better. I learned that and then I was able build around that for clients. So, really learn properly and the more you do do, the more weapons you have when working with your clients.

MAKING THE CUT Spotlight on the latest men’s cutting and styling techniques, so you can up your game for 2018 in the barbershop, and create the cool new looks everyone will be wanting in no time!

By Yasmin Grothé

I

f you’re following any trendy barbers on Instagram (particularly the ones based in Europe), go take a look at your feed right now. What do you see? Texture, longer hair and

fringes? Yes, we’re definitely at a crossroads when it comes to new shapes and haircuts for men.

THE EUROPEAN INFLUENCE This latest transformation for men (like so many other big hair trends over the decades!) has taken off in the U.K. more than in any other country, it seems.

“I’ve been seeing this coming out of the U.K. for over a year and a half now,” says Tay Atelier (@TayAtelier on Instagram), Redken for Men artist and Y.S. Park Canada brand ambassador.

“We’re seeing hair transition from very defined side parts and undercuts to a modern crop with much more texture on the top.”

There’s a big shift in fringes coming, too. “It’s really short now, with a length of about two inches and sitting high on the forehead, definitely above the eyebrows. The inspiration comes from the Caesar haircut, but it’s done in a really modern way.”

Europe,” says BaBylissPRO educator and freelance barber Sofia Pok (@staygold31 on Instagram). Traditionally, we’re used to seeing more of a square outline for men’s haircuts but now the shape is rounder and not based on cutting structure anymore.

“That being said, hair is definitely longer but cleaner on the sides,” adds Pok.

HYBRID STYLES “At the salon where I work in Brampton, Ontario,” says Atelier, “we’re seeing very young, cool high school kids come in and want something drastically different they’re loving on social media that’s reminiscent of the ’80s. Perms are high on their radar and there’s a lot of movement in the hair.”

For Pok, barbering is entering a new phase and merging with more traditional hairstyling. “Yes, there’s still a bit of that old

style barbering, but with a new finish and feel. A lot of the modern haircuts are not standard, and hybrid styles are really coming on strong.”

What exactly are “hybrid styles”? The merge between barbering and hairstyling techniques are still making their way in the industry, and barbers should learn how to work and perform better with longer hair, says Atelier. “For instance, if your client isn’t ready to go for a perm, start working with hot tools—say a flat iron or a wand—to create those curls.”

TEXTURIZING IS KING Pomade used to be the big thing to finish a traditional barbering hairstyle. But, according to Pok, the trend now is for a puffier haircut, which you can easily achieve with point cutting. “Hair on the forehead is bigger and worn forward. So, to balance all that, you need to create more texture on the top of the head.”

To create these looks, focus on clays, putties and sea salts, as well as curl lotions and products to retain curls while eliminating frizz.

Also fading away are pompadours, particularly for the type of client who wants the latest and boldest hairstyles.

“Keep in mind, though, that it always depends on the style of the client you have in your chair. The clean cuts do have staying power for the more classic and traditional man,” explains Atelier.

The main thing to remember is to make a point of learning something new every year that takes you out of your comfort zone.

Taking classes for cutting and styling longer hair may also be prudent as it’s an important time to cater to the very specific desires of a discerning male clientele.

Fading and blending are still super important, says Pok, but the main thing is to understand the use of all the tools you have at your disposal and to practice as much as possible. “For instance, sometimes you don’t need to apply that much pressure on a clipper to get that kick-ass fade, but that’s learned [with much time and experience].”

SALON PROFILE

The Bold Type In the traditional world of men’s grooming, one woman is doing things her own way.

By Yasmin Grothé

M

J Déziel, a hairstylist based in Montreal, is making waves in the men’s segment across North America. Her sheer dedication to excellence in her craft has led her to becoming

a Redken international artist, and shortlisted her as a finalist in the 2018 Contessa Awards.

Salon Magazine: Did you always feel a calling to the beauty industry?

MJ Déziel: My mom worked for L’Oréal Canada, and they needed models for an ABA show. I instantly fell for the glam! Even though I studied photography and graphic design, I decided to take the one-year course to become a hairstylist. I figured I had nothing to lose and was obsessed about being on stage. I got hooked.

SM: Why specialize in men’s hairstyling?

MJD: When you’re starting out as a junior hairstylist you usually get the walk-ins who happen to be mainly men. I love clippers and was better at haircutting than colour. I started getting a lot of references. At the time, Redken was also looking for a new men’s hairstylist to be part of their artistic team, and they had seen me compete at the ABA. This was in 2013, at the beginning of the big barbering trend, and it was serendipitious: I got chosen as the lead of their men’s education program.

and I’m one of the lead artists for the new Redken Brews education program, specializing in barbering and men’s trends. I co-created the looks and was part of the development of this new campaign, which is launching in March 2018 in the U.S. and Canadian markets.

SM: You are also part owner of a company offering beauty and wellness services in the corporate world. What’s this about?

MJD: It’s called The Regulars. The idea is to provide people who work long, intense hours with haircutting, hairstyling, massage or yoga services in their place of work. Our clients are corporations like Cirque du Soleil, Ubisoft, and other companies in the tech world that offer their employees many perks. We have a team of freelancers who drop in regularly to offer these services. It’s a great way to offer

young stylists another revenue stream on a regular basis. I’m a big believer in giving back and sharing with my community.

SM: You seem to have a keen business sense. Where does this come from, and why is it important in your career?

MJD: Doing things differently is very important to me. I grew up thinking that anything is possible. I’m surrounded with great people that I learn a lot from. Redken and my business partner believed in me. I guess my business sense has developed intuitively.

SM: Where do you see yourself going next?

MJD: I’d like to help my peers as much as possible.

That’s why I enjoy education so much. I love sharing my passion with other stylists.

Oh, and I definitely want to do more competitions! This Contessa entry was my first.

I absolutely loved the entire experience, from the creative photo shoot, to the thrill of being at the gala. Next time I want to be on that stage accepting my award!

Popping Up Shop One Calgary salon owner is taking men’s grooming in a bold, new direction.

BY ANNA LEE BOSCHETTO

M

en’s hairstyling and barbering had always been a passion for Jereme Bokitch. As the owner of Hedkandi

Salon and Butter Beauty Parlour, Bokitch had noticed Calgary’s barbering scene was growing in one direction only. “I thought we could offer a more unique and personal experience for men in Calgary,” he says. “We wanted to have a more modern take on the aesthetic of our spaces and the way the business operated.”

Rather than opening one location, Bokitch opted to partner with a local pub and a high-end men’s clothier, and created two distinct pop-up barbershops within these existing locations. The result is a custom experience that Bokitch says regularly drives hundreds of additional guests to each of these two businesses.

ANOTHER ROUND At Johnny’s Last Best, clients are able to enjoy a pint while they wait or during a service. This location is staffed with a team of four barbers with a menu that includes men’s haircuts, colour services and cuts for tweens. “It’s a relaxed environment but can get a bit loud and exciting in the space, especially later in the evening when people stop by for drinks after work and hang out,” says Bokitch.

BESPOKE CUTTING Set in the new flagship Henry Singer store in Eighth Avenue Place, Johnny’s Henry Singer location is as custom as the clothier’s suiting.

“The space is designed for men who are looking to escape the office for a little quiet retreat during their cut and shave,” says Bokitch. Featuring custom chestnut wood interiors and modern lighting, the space has a sleek, refined appeal.
