THE THEME OF OUR FEATURE article this issue highlights how the beauty industry gives back to the world, whether in your immediate community or through communities or causes in other places. Regularly, e-mails, letters and pictures come in from across the industry about fundraisers for various causes. We try to give editorial coverage in the magazine whenever we can because we believe in recognizing and supporting any efforts to help those in need or to help the environment. You may ask, what have we at Salon Magazine done to give back? Y When I posed the question to our president, Brian Light, he didn’t think it appropriate to blow our own horn. I saw his point, briefly, but I still think I should mention a few things. Through Contessa sponsorships and ticket sales we donate to Look Good Feel Better annually. We sponsored a village in Africa last year instead of sending our clients Christmas gifts. We also supported the tsunami and hurricane Katrina relief funds. On the environmental front we use Domtar EarthChoice® paper for our inside stock, which is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). Annually, the Contessa Community Service award recognizes those whose efforts have made the most impact. For 2006 Rocco Campanaro from Axcess Salon + Spa in Richmond Hill was recognized for raising over $30,000 dollars in support of the Alzheimer Society. “The fundraiser brings us all together in support of one cause, like a team,” says Campanaro, giving credit to the other salons who helped make the event a success. John Steinberg was recognized in 2005 for raising $163,000 for breast cancer research over 10 years from hosting his annual pool tournament, which he co-founded with public relations guru DonnaLee Langton. John, a regular columnist for Salon Magazine and a man of great humour and heart, took things to new heights this past fall by producing a calendar called Women of Substance, where he posed as a woman each month—a fun take on the movie Calendar Girls. He raised another $18,000 through the sale of the calendar. The philanthropic and environmental efforts of everyone shows that the true heart of the beauty industry is not just in the services you do for clients.

It’s been said the ’60s were one of the most important decades for social and cultural change. However, in the professional beauty industry, I think the ’70s were the most revolutionary. This decade saw a major shift in the hair industry. Thanks to Vidal Sassoon, women with fabulous snappy haircuts threw away their rollers and weekly hair appointments and began to blow dry their hair on their own. Girls started using frosting kits and the punk movement soon broke out. From this revolution a whole new sector emerged—the birth of salon retail. Shampoos, quality conditioners and decent styling lotions became in demand. By the ’80s, the professional retail market had quadrupled, giving salons a completely new revenue stream. New hair companies, with founders inspiring thousands of hairstylists with an unbridled passion not unlike a religious experience, began cropping up. Their ventures not only increased our bottom line, they gave our industry a renewed energy. Paul Mitchell recently celebrated 25 years, along with Matrix. Aveda is in it’s 28th year and Joico turned 30. These companies and their founders

CONTRIBUTORS

were true trailblazers. They had the foresight to develop and market quality products for the salon professional and his or her clients. Homage must be paid to Redken for being one of the first to open the doors and minds of the professional industry, in this respect. Over the last 18 months in Canada several distributors have been celebrating big anniversaries. Founded by Doris Tan 26 years ago, Alberta’s International Beauty Services is a major tour de force. Also in Alberta, Modern Beauty Supplies recently celebrated 20 years; Maritime Beauty Supplies is looking quite spiffy at 40 and O’Regan Agencies Ltd. are soon celebrating the big FIVE-O out in Newfoundland. I’ve known all these wonderful distributors for years and can honestly say they’re as passionate and caring today as I would imagine they were when they first opened their doors. They have shaped our Canadian industry in their own way, from their terrific customer relations, belief in education and their active participation in our industry. Happy Birthday to all!

EFERRALS ARE OFTEN REPORTED BY SALONS and spas as their number one source of new business. Surprisingly, many salons and spas have neither a formal referral incentive program nor do they reward referrals. However, it is imperative that you recompense behaviour that you want to see repeated. Creating an effective and efficient referral system is easy and beneficial. If your clients know about your program and they value the compensation you offer, they will feel encouraged to put their energy and time into promoting you. I strongly recommend the incentive be a dollar-amount gift certificate. Below is an example of a letter you could hand out to your existing clientele to promote your program. Don’t forget to include three-tofive business cards so your existing clients can pass them on to prospective ones. Dear (hand write customers name here),

To say thank you, for every new client that you refer to ABC Salon & Spa you will receive a $20.00 gift certificate towards any service. Thank you for your continued support. (Signed by management/owner or the entire team)

For this program to work your staff must be diligent about asking all new clients how they heard about you, record the name of the referral and mail out the gift certificate and thank you card—immediately! The card verse I like is: Thank you for your recent referral, your trust is sincerely appreciated. Have this verse handwritten or printed and have the owners/mangers or entire team sign them. Don’t forget to include three or more business cards, because the numberone way of referring someone is to pass your card along with a verbal recommendation.—LC Lori Colborne is president of LSL Marketing Consultants, a recognized keynote speaker, trainer and author of Innovative Marketing Made Easy.

LONGHAIRED AMERICAN KIDS FIGHTING THE POWER, belting out catchy, melody-driven tunes? What else could it be? Hair: The Tribal Love-Rock Musical must be back on stage. The iconic ’60s musical, which owes not only its name but also much of its symbolism to long, beautiful hair, is running in Toronto until June 17, 2006. CanStage, the contemporary theatre company responsible for the revival of this pop-rock musical, worked with costume and set designer Dany Lyne and hair and makeup supervisor Sharon Ryman to bring the all-Canadian cast into character. “My first step is always text analysis,” states Lyne who, after carefully reading the script, researches extensively and, alongside the director, decides on who exactly each character is. In the case of Hair—a story about rebellious youth living and pushing boundaries in 1968—they had to determine which characters were the most liberated and how their liberation would translate into hair, makeup and wardrobe. In other words, they had to discuss who would be growing their hair and who would be wearing an Afro and why. Creating a research and sketch binder unique to Hair Hair, Lyne’s next step was to liaise with Ryman. “I saw sketches about six weeks ago,” explains Ryman, with only a short week before the start of previews. A trained wig maker, Ryman’s work largely involved making quality, custom-made wigs and hairpieces for the performers. Working with human hair to create realistic pieces and opting for synthetic hair for fantasy looks, Ryman averages about 40 hours of work to produce one wig. “Unlike working at a salon or on an editorial shoot, in theatre I really help create characters,” emphasizes Ryman. “Hair and makeup play a major role in making the performer feel right and help give the right look to the show.”—MA

The queens of Mocha The results of Matrix’s Mocha Look Competition 2005 FIFTEEN LUCKY STYLISTS ACROSS CANADA were crowned winners of the Matrix Mocha Look Competition 2005 this past fall. In October, Matrix launched five new Mocha shades in their SoColor line from deep chocolate darks to latte lights in line with the fashion trends of the season. To honour this launch they paired it with a national photo competition. Participants were asked to submit model images of their work using the Mocha shades. “We asked salons who carry Matrix to be inspired by our new SoColor Mocha shades. We created a competition for stylists to express themselves by brewing their hottest Mocha look,” says Kathy Acimovic, communications coordinator for Matrix. Matrix was especially impressed with the stylists who had never entered a competition before. “The cuts were wearable and the colour had dimension and depth. While hair show competitions really showcase the avant-garde skills of many stylists this competition gave more attention to the styles and cuts hairstylists create everyday,” adds Acimovic. The Mocha Look Competition ran from October to December 31st, 2005.—TC

Reds Afire

Four new shades just in time for summer

Technically speaking: “These four new shades introduce stronger red pigments reflecting less yellow, therefore appearing as a stronger neutral, or cooler red. Traditionally, reds at lighter levels have yellow (orange) underlying pigments and can fade to copper. These provide a true, clear red even at the higher levels (level 6 or 7) with even less fading. “The unique ISO Tri-active technology based on cationic charges allows a lower ammonia content producing stronger, healthier, shinier hair. Vitamins, proteins and moisturizers carry a positive charge penetrating deep within the cortex of the hair, usually more negatively charged by nature. The more damaged hair is, the more negative the charge. The result is a powerful healing bond between the positively charged vitamins, proteins and moisturizers and the negatively charged hair. Above that, Triplex-C, another patented technology, envelops each strand of hair infusing it with vitamin C, natures best anti-oxidant to prevent colour fading.”—SP

salon > may+june 06

TIPS FOR COLOURING REDS: 1. To achieve warmer, light reds, red shades should be applied to natural level 5 and lighter. [Gold Copper Intensifyer may also be added for extra warmth] 2. To achieve cooler, deep rich reds, red shades should be applied to natural level 5 light brown and darker.[Blue, or Violet Intensifyer may be added for coolness] 3. For optimum results when using red shades, process for the maximum time recommended. 4. For first time application of red shades, it is recommended to utilize the leveling technique by varying the strength of developer used to compensate for different levels of porosity of the hair. 5. On pre-lightened hair or with mid-shafts and ends that are too light, it is recommended to re-pigmentize or colour balance prior to application of red shades. 6. For gray coverage with red shades, always add N or Natural series to the formula. The only time to leave the Natural series out is when pulling the colour through the mid-shaft and ends. 7. Always recommend the right at-home professional products for coloured hair.

RADITIONALLY, SUMMER HAS ALWAYS BEEN a popular time for blondes. However, “Now with all the new colour technology, fiery reds can be seen on the beach in all their glory and vibrancy,” says Debbie Goodridge, herself a redhead. Colour on the beach is about to heat up. Goodridge is the senior colour educator for ISO Canada and is based in Nanaimo, B.C. She conveys her excitement with the spring launch of the new Red Hot Reds vibrant shades from ISO. “I was fortunate to do some of the testing on the new shades and started working with them back in the fall,” says Goodridge. “Although reds have always been the staple of the colour line, ISO is always looking to take it to the next level.” There are four shades in the collection: Warm Autumn Red 7R(7.5), Deep Auburn Red 5R(5.5) Rich Scarlet Red 6R (6.5), and Cabernet 5RV(5.57).

MEN Expanding choices for men

MACHOMERCHANDISE ONE OF THE BIGGEST, and many would agree, easiest areas to increase revenues in the salon and spa business is through selling to male clientele. And thanks to these new lines of products you now have more choices to offer your clients for hair and skin care.

Matrix wants men to take control of styling with their new line of products including three shampoos—Style Power, Clean Rush and Thick Surge. Moisture Rev conditioner, Energel and Thick Blast volumizer spray round out the line, which has been formulated to benefit all hair types and address the various needs of your male clients.

Comfort Zone, a division of Davines from Italy, introduces Man Space, its first line exclusive to men. Combining nature with the latest technology they have produced skincare essentials for men that provide hydration and tackle wrinkles. The line includes a facial cleansing gel, a shaving emollient, an after-shave hydrator, an intensive eye-recover gel and an anti-age recover serum which increases skin’s elasticity.—SP

ON MARCH 19 IN NEW YORK CITY’S Rockerfeller Center, Goldwell presented three trend world performances on ice to introduce its 2006 Trend Zoom

The three trend worlds of Crystal Spirit, Real Fantasia and Classic Delice were the inspiration of Goldwell International and North American Guest Artists, Deborah Gavin, John Simpson and Cam Patey respectively.

Century

CONTESSA GALLERY Jagoda Hall speaks about her and Erin Fernandes’s collection

T

Edited by Morella Aguirre

he idea behind Century came about through

a haircut that Erin gave me—this is why I appear in the collection as one of the models. She cut a ’20s inspired bob—very short and boyish— but with very current detailing, like the bright yellow highlights placed on longer strands. And that’s how the collection got started: we decided to break down the past century into 20-year increments and show hairstyles that represented the ’20s, ’40s, ’60s, ’80s and the turn of the century. We researched like crazy, mostly on the Internet, for hairstyles we thought symbolized those decades. Erin and I then chose the styles we wanted to work with and updated them to make them current and unique. We kept a level of consistency through our use of colour. We used punchy, vibrant colours on all the models. My number one piece of advice is to have quality models that can offer you a variety of looks. Yes, we updated retro looks through colour, wardrobe and makeup, but also through the look of our models; they are an important part of the team. At Entrenous, we have house models—we do free hair and makeup for them and build a relationship. Getting to know their

The RUSH Artistic Team creates another stellar collection Te x t b y M o r e l l a A g u i r r e

f HAIR: THE RUSH ARTISTIC TEAM, RUSH LONDON PHOTOS: COURTESY RUSH LONDON

ormed in 1999 by lifelong friends Stelios Andrew and Andrew Heasman, the RUSH Artistic Team was quick to demonstrate its skill and creativity, as well as a knack for creating sleek, fashionable and technically superb photographic collections. A mere seven years after its formation, the team boasts over a dozen major hairstyling awards, including British Artistic Team of the Year 2004. In this collection, the RUSH Team presents sculptural, balanced forms that reference current hair trends but also have a futuristic, avant-garde feel. Here’s an example: Remember Liza Minnelli’s boyish bob in Cabaret? This year’s big bob trend makes it relevant once again. And by slightly altering its shape and playing with colour and lighting, the RUSH Team takes the cut to new dimensions. It’s as if they ship Sally Bowles to outer space, give her a style revamp, bring her back and take her picture. It’s an awesome effect. One that keeps RUSH on the forefront of hairstyling. may+june 06 < salon

The Extended Family

The Philanthropists John Paul Mitchell Systems has a very strong culture of philanthropy. Recent donations totaling millions of dollars in cash, products and services have been made to non-profit organizations in the fields of health care, social services, environmental protection and awareness and others. A portion of the proceeds from the Tea Tree brand funds American Forests’ Global ReLeaf and Wildfire ReLeaf Program. This international non-profit organization strives to grow a healthier environment with trees to counter climate change and purify air and water. John Paul Mitchell Systems helps the organization plant over 10,000 trees every year to offset all carbon emissions from the brand’s manufacture and distribution.

for a number of years due to the cost of constructing new facilities. In 2001, Friends of the Orphans Canada committed to the construction project and in April 2006 the project was completed. To date, NPH Guatemala is home to over 400 children and volunteers. FOTO CAN has facilitated in the construction of four boarding houses, four school buildings, seven volunteer houses, a kitchen and dining hall, library, administration offices, medical clinic, and workshop where the older children can learn vocational skills. The medical clinic serves the needs of the NPH children and staff and the surrounding community. A budget of $4.5 million was committed to this project. Fundraising golf tournaments are held about five times a year. Uvalux employees have embraced the venture as well—working together to help support the project. Companies like Uvalux and Australian Gold are committed to this work and now that NPH Guatemala is finished, they look forward to working in Bolivia in 2007. To learn more about FOTO CAN check out www.fotocan.org. TOP PHOTOS COURTESY UVALUX; BOTTOM PHOTO COURTESY AMERICAN FORESTS

Bill Van Haeren, president of Uvalux Tanning, and his family adopted their youngest daughter Alisha from Guatemala in 1991. This was the beginning of a connection to a part of the world that today represents a commitment to giving back within the Uvalux family that is truly unique. In 1993 the Van Haeren family came across an organization devoted to building schools in remote areas of Guatemala and Honduras. Since then, Bill and several other volunteers have travelled there twice a year to work on various building projects. Over the years, the volunteer network has grown and includes many skilled and unskilled workers from across Canada. This group of dedicated people formed Friends of the Orphans Canada (FOTO CAN) in 1999. In 2001 FOTO CAN began working with a Mexican-based organization called Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos (NPH). NPH houses over 5,000 orphaned or abandoned children in nine Latin American countries. The NPH Guatemala Orphanage was established in 1996 and a generous land donation in 1997 gave NHP Guatemala the opportunity to grow. However, the land remained vacant

The Builders Brian Phillips, owner of World Salon in Toronto, has a dream. He, along with his fellow hairstylists and his clients, want to raise $80,000 dollars for Habitat for Humanity to build a house in Toronto for a family in need. Five per cent of the total sale of all World Products will go into the World House account in honour of their 16 years in business. To date they have raised $17,415 for the cause. Phillips says, “We are all very excited about this project. Having the signage on the wall and in the window prompts clients to talk about it and gives us the opportunity to ask for their support. Anyone can go online to www.torontohabitat.on.ca and choose donations and pick the World House project.”

The Holistic Thinkers The Aveda holistic approach to doing business is evident in everything they produce. Aveda is committed to sourcing the highest quality ingredients available that go into every formulation they make. But in tandem with that, they also ensure that the people and communities who harvest the ingredients are rewarded and self-sustaining in their efforts. From soil to bottle, Aveda connects with its suppliers in remote corners of the globe from local and indigenous communities in Australia, Brazil, Bulgaria, Peru, South Africa and most recently Vanuatu, where Ray Civello, president of Collega for Aveda, travelled to trace the origin of Tamanu Oil. This oil is an ingredient of Aveda’s Damage Remedy line that is high in antioxidants and used locally for first aid purposes. “We’ve drawn a line in the soil, so to speak, by creating a soil to bottle traceability system that allows us to follow, and document, the lifeline of our ingredients,” says Civello. “These collaborations foster hope, create sustainable business partnerships and they benefit the local community, the salon professional and the Aveda consumer.”

Since its inception, Vancouver area’s The Megahair Family has nurtured a strong belief in “giving back”—not only to the community in which they live and work, but also to the environment. The “MegaBuck” recycling program was introduced in 1997 and came about due to guests and company concerns regarding the amount of packaging in the beauty industry that was being discarded on a regular basis. For the past nine years The Megahair Family has been encouraging guests to bring back their empty grooming-related containers regardless of where they were purchased. They accept all containers from their own locations, a competing salon, drugstore

or grocery and recycle them through the proper means. Guests are rewarded for being environmentally conscious with a MegaBuck coupon useable towards the purchase of new salon products. This past year, The Megahair Family recycled 57,000 containers, weighing approximately 10 thousand pounds and since the start of this program, they have recycled close to half-a-million containers, which translates to approximately 70,000 pounds of plastic and glass. “This program, although costly, is important as it helps to save the environment, allows us all to breathe a little easier and spread The Megahair Family philosophy of business from the heart,” says Mark Banicevic, president.

The Spiritual Soul Once a year, for the past three years, Valerie Smith, a stylist at Strand’s Hair Team in Edmonton, embarks upon a 38-hour bus ride to Mexico with the Amigo Relief Program. Organized through her church, the program focuses on an orphanage and women’s shelter. Over the past few years she and her group have erected new buildings, provided clothing and personal care packages to the people they visit. “It was obvious that I could assist with the physical labour of building a new dining hall, which I took great pride in,” says Smith. “However, I really wanted to use my skills in the beauty industry to provide the women and children with self-confidence and the simple ability to feel good about themselves. “My goal is to give the women in the shelter a clean polished look that will assist them in getting out of the shelter and on their own,” she adds. “This year, we will also teach them some of the skills of hairdressing and possibly point them in the direction of one day becoming stylists themselves.” Smith adds, “The orphanage is full of children who are so excited to have some personal attention, which we know all children crave. These children have so little yet are so full of life. The biggest thrill for me is to see the smiles on their little faces as they wait so patiently for nothing more than a simple haircut.” This is a spiritual vacation for Smith. “It takes me away from all of the distractions of life: phones, computers, day-to-day living. It grounds me, takes me back to the basics. It’s about the people and the simple needs of these people that keep me going back year after year.”

The Event Planner

The Loving Friend The Student Effort Cuts for Cancer was born in March 2002 at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ont. Every year the university calls upon stylists and salons to participate in their event, and on March 15 this year, seven salons in the Kingston area donated their time to the cause. They were: All Hair Alternative, Diva Salon, Envy Hair Studio, First Choice Hair Cutters, Maison Paul, Pierre Amelotte International and Signatures Salon. “It’s amazing how much we can do when we all come together and work as a team in an event like this,” says Kelly Hallett, co-owner of Envy Hair Studio. “To see so many in the beauty industry supporting the community like this is heartwarming. Many other salons donated products for the silent auction if they couldn’t make it out to the event,” she adds. This year they raised over $34,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society. A total of 156 people participated and 101 of them donated a minimum of 10 inches of hair, 66 shaved their heads and 15 donated 10 inches and shaved their heads. This program has since spread to the Universities of Toronto and British Columbia.

Trish Molloy, owner of the Headroom Salon and Spa in St. John’s Newfoundland, lost a good friend and fellow hairstylist to AIDS over 14 years ago. To commemorate the memory of her friend, she created a photo-based competition open to hairstylists from all over Newfoundland and Labrador and in support port of an AIDS-related charity. “The Bob Day Memorial Award is much-coveted and has grown in popularity over the years with stylists all over the province. The competition provides a way for the entire industry, not just our salon, to support a great cause,” says Molloy. “The award is presented every year at the O’Regan Agencies show in September—judging is done by the platform artists performing at the show.” Kevin O’Regan says, “Trish did not want recognition for this competition initially. She just wanted to honour the memory of a dear friend who always did great work, but never wanted the limelight himself.” To date, Molloy estimates that the annual competition has raised over $10, 000 for the Newfoundland and Labrador AIDS Foundation.

Steve Roy, owner of Oz Hair Salon in Yorkville says, “When I took a course nine years ago on personal development, our homework at the end of the course was to create an event that involved a community and would have a specific measurable end result.” Roy had lost a few friends to AIDS-related diseases and was automatically drawn to helping with the fight against HIV and AIDS. “As a business person, I feel that I have a special responsibility to give back to the community, particularly when it comes to our most vulnerable citizens, our children,” adds Roy. He chose to help The Teresa Group, an organization providing assistance and support to HIV/AIDS-affected children. He started The Mane Event—a six-hour haircutting and beauty event, including silent auctions, that donates 100 per cent of funds raised to The Teresa Group. The Mane Event is a labour of love for Roy and all the other salons and local businesses who help make the event a success. “We started out with three salons participating and are now up to 10. As we approach our ninth year, we have raised approximately $150,000,” says Roy. The clients who come in on the day of the event get a great cut and they know they are giving to a great cause. “I remember one year, I had apologized to the executive director of The Teresa Group, that I felt bad we had raised only $14,000 when our average was $18-20,000. She kindly reminded me that a mere five dollars could put a pair of mittens and a hat on a child who was cold. I got it. When it comes to charity no amount is too small.” Roy and his supporters, including Schwarzkopf Professional, are always looking for more salons and stylists to participate. They don’t have to be in Yorkville. As Roy says, “It’s a donation of six hours of your time on your day off that will brighten the future of HIV/AIDS-affected children.” The Mane Event takes place in October.

OLD is the new “NEW” Contemporary spas put the spin on ancient treatments

HE HEALTH AND BEAUTY BUSINESS is always on the hunt for the newest trends and treatments. And in more and more spas these days, it seems old is the new “new,” with ancient or traditional therapies, many of them water-based, getting thoroughly modern makeovers and applications. Typically, spas in populous Toronto are leading the way in Canada, with innovative ideas set into practice for the masses. A pioneer in the field of what might be termed “new, old-concept spas” is Body Blitz, a woman’s-only, nudity-friendly spa that puts the emphasis squarely on rejuvenation and healing principles. While clients can select from a range of massage therapies and body wash, scrub and mud applications, the key selling feature at Body Blitz is a tour of what’s called a “therapeutic water circuit,” whereby clients, following a prescribed order and 30-odd minute timetable, alternate between a relaxing sea salt pool, a traditional detoxifying steam room, a circulatory-enhancing infrared sauna, a hot green tea pool, a cold plunge pool, and multiple between soak-and-sauna rinses.

Today, cosmetics are no longer a topic exclusively targeting a female audience Rapid growth in the male cosmetic sector is now expected. Men are now increasingly buying and using specific cosmetic products. According to “a Datamonitor survey 73% of US and European men said that spending time in front of the mirror was ‘important’ or ‘very important’, compared to 72% of women with the same response.” Simon PItman, www.cosmeticsdesign.com RVB Laboratories has developed a new line directed at this emerging market. An absolutely avant-garde range of specialities developed specifically for modern men. With a look that appeals to today’s men along with traditionally masculine scents and consistencies, BE_MAN appeals to men without alienating them in an overly feminine industry. Men’s skin is different from women’s, the pores are more dilated sebum production is higher, male skin is thicker and tends to dehydrate. Therefore expectations and specifications are different. With specific formulations for men’s skin, BE_MAN reveals all the benefits of cosmetics for men, with immediate and long lasting results.

Body Blitz president and self-proclaimed spa enthusiast Laura Polley says she looked to Asian cultures for inspiration adding, “My focus in many ways was bringing something to the city that was about preventative health. “There were a lot of spas out there offering fluff—feel-good treatments lasting a couple of hours. With Body Blitz, if you use the waters regularly (weekly or monthly), it could prevent certain ailments. These are excellent detoxification, anti-aging rituals that have been around for years. So I wanted to bring something ancient and authentic to an urban environment, keeping the proven healing aspects intact.” In particular, Polley points to her spa’s infrared sauna—which essentially heats people up on the inside—as being especially restorative to those suffering from old bone breaks, sprained muscles and the like, neatly complementing the healing waters featured in the “circuit.”

Literally around the corner from Body Blitz in downtown Toronto—but miles away in approach and philosophy—is Hammam Spa, a jaw-droppingly sleek and stylish co-ed space that, in addition to offering regular spa services like massage, manicure and couples treatments, is looking to add permanent or medical cosmetic services to its menu card, according to Kimberlee Moss, director of marketing and sales. “Those services can be carried out in spaces that are very clinical,” she says, “We’d hope to offer something warmer.” Centered around its 700-square-foot, slate-walled Hammam—essentially a Turkish variant of a steam bath or a kind of wet relative of the sauna and here given ballast by the infusion of essential oils such as eucalyptus and ylang-ylang—Hammam Spa pays as much attention to the senses as to the skin, luxuriating patrons in neutral colours and natural materials such as wood while employing the Comfort Zone line of products. “The whole idea of the Hammam is giving an ancient treatment a contemporary spin,” Moss confirms, echoing Body Blitz’s ethos. “For cleanliness reasons, we can’t do the muds and scrubs in the Hammam but we are hoping to incorporate more traditional treatments into that area, especially once our new exfoliation and water-therapy chambers are finished.” S

Infection control should always be top priority

IN TODAY’S SOCIETY THE threat of infectious diseases—whether in the form of a serious flu outbreak or a small, localized fungal infection— makes many of us rightfully cautious. For this reason, consumers are demanding the cleanest and safest products and services available. As service providers, nail technicians need to be diligent in offering their clients what they expect. An area of particular concern for many salon clients is the pedicure station. “In the past, pedicures have received a bad reputation,” say Suzi Weiss Fischmann, founder of OPI. “It only takes one bad apple to lose consumer confidence, and once you lose it, it’s extremely difficult to gain it back.” To protect both your client’s health and your reputation, Fischmann recommends spending time and investing money in sanitation and disinfection. “During a spa pedicure, disease is most likely spread through unclean pipes that backwash bacteria and fungus into the main basin,” continues Fischmann. “But the problem is not with spa pedicures in general,” adds Dawn Holz, sales manager for European Touch, “It has to do with improper cleaning and sanitation of pedicure chairs.” Holz is a strong advocate of pipe-less technology and European Touch’s patented Crystal Clean PipeFree system. “Although the Crystal Clean system still has a water supply and a drain line, it does not have hidden pipes to circulate water. It’s a whirlpool system where all surfaces are visible and easily accessible, making cleaning more efficient.” Holz heralds pipe-less technology as the

68

salon > may+june 06

way of the future, but emphasizes that traditional pipe systems can also be effectively cleaned—it’s just more difficult to ensure their disinfection. Be sure to read your chair’s cleaning instructions carefully. Kim Tanner, Canadian representative for Virox Technologies, breaks down infection control into three areas of concern: surfaces, implements and footbaths. She recommends wiping down your pedicure chair and footbath after every client and disinfecting its pipes and jets thoroughly once per day. “Use high-quality, hospital-grade disinfectants that will not damage your equipment,” she states. Tanner also suggests using products formulated specifically for each task. For example, to clean the surfaces of pedicure chairs—through which cold and flu germs can easily be spread—she mentions Virox Ready-to-Use surface cleaners. Containing Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide (AHP), a powerful disinfecting solution patented by Virox, these products are safe and non-damaging on leather surfaces. In fact, AHP only contains ingredients listed on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) inert listing. In terms of implement cleaning, both Tanner and Fischmann suggest sterilizing all metal implements in a cold soak containing a disinfecting solution. OPI’s Swiss Clean System contains an easyto-use implement soaker that disinfects in just 10 minutes. “Also, all tools that cannot be disinfected should be thrown out,” adds Fischmann. “Your other option is to have a client kit containing items that should only be used by one individual.”—MA

THE NEW PHYTO PLAGE BY PHYTOSOLAIRE is a dietary supplement that every tanner—indoor and outdoor—should know about. Its supply of vitamins prepares, stimulates and prolongs the tan, but also helps protect hair’s natural strength and beauty. Five active ingredients work to protect the skin and diminish risks of erythema due to sun exposure while optimizing and prolonging the natural course of the tan. “Phyto Plage leaves your skin soft and gives you a more uniform tan,” says Rima Amroun, marketing assistant at Alès Groupe Canada. “But it is in no way a sunblock, or a self-tanner. It prepares and stimulates the skin to receive the sun exposure.” For best results, tanners must follow directions closely. To prepare the skin, they should take one caplet a day during meals for three weeks before UV exposure. During exposure, again one caplet a day to activate its effects. And finally, one caplet a day three weeks after exposure, to prolong the tan. Its 100 per cent natural plant formula contains: • NATURAL B-CAROTENE, an anti free-radical that contributes to the skin’s integrity through its provitamin A activity. The carotenoids reinforce the skin’s natural defense system against UV rays, protect the cell membranes, the DNA and the skin from redness. • TOMATO LYCOPEN provides twice the anti free-radical action that helps obtain a perfectly even tan. • VITAMIN E is an anti-oxidant agent that helps combat free-radicals responsible for the appearance of aging skin. • SELENIUM (seleny yeast) prevents the photo-induced damages caused by U.V. rays • BORAGE and EVENING PRIMROSE OILS: fatty essential acids are cellular membrane components which assure fluidity and the exchange that preserves the skin’s moisture, suppleness and elasticity.—TC

On the Eastern Front A glimpse into Marjorie Clarke’s stylish dichotomy

I

give myself five years to become North American Hairstylist of the Year.” Now these are ambitious words; so ambitious in fact, they’re almost scary. But this was the goal that Newfoundland-based hairstylist Marjorie Clarke set for herself in 2002, 10 years after opening her entrepreneurial pride and joy, the Hair Force. “People laughed at me when I told them,” confesses Clarke, raising her voice. A second later, back in her regular soft and poised tone, she adds: “I dream big.” This is the impression that the reigning North American Hairstylist of the Year gives: one of confidence, but one of humility and realism. It’s like a cool yin and yang thing that comes out with almost every question that Clarke answers. Ask her about her childhood and she’ll gently explain how “Growing up in a large family, in a small town, makes you feel insignificant. But it also drives you.” Inquire about her big win at the NAHAs and she will happily tell you, “It was the greatest accomplishment in my career. It humbled me.” So where does this perspective come from? And how does a small-town girl from Atlantic Canada end up on a Las Vegas stage accepting not one, but two NAHA awards? “People are going to get so sick of hearing this,” begins Clarke, “But in 2001 my father passed away. Looking through his bible for an inscription, all I found were cut-outs of newspaper clippings from when I opened my salon. I suddenly realized just how proud my father actually was of me. And at that moment I vowed to get my name back in print.” Clarke completed her first photographic collection the following year, began competing soon afterwards and set her assertive goal. “National and international competitions are an incredible way to showcase your work, become more creative and skyrocket your career. And, if you can objectively and honestly critique what you produce, it makes you want to improve.”

Clarke’s winning 2005 North American Hairstylist of the Year collection

This type of honesty—particularly regarding her skill set—has also helped Clarke’s career. Eleven years ago, already a seasoned stylist with a successful salon, Clarke met Maurice Fiorio. “I saw him cut and texturize hair and realized that I couldn’t cut hair—that I knew nothing and had to start over.” Travelling to Toronto to observe her new-found mentor at work, Clarke felt forced to change her approach to styling. “The biggest thing I learned was that I didn’t have to mold hair with a dryer to get the shape I was looking for. I could create shape with the scissors.” To this day, Clarke is passionate about cutting hair, although she loves practicing other elements of hairstyling. Lest we forget, she also won the 2005 NAHA for long hair dressing. One of the most capturing images from that winning collection showcased gorgeous netted hair, a look which required months of planning. “My uncle is a fisherman on Bell Island and I spent three hours with him learning to make lobster nets. That’s the technique I applied on the model’s natural hair.” Commenting on the image’s appeal, Clarke makes a powerful statement. “I wanted to create something that was different but not strange. It’s easy to make something for shock value. There are many more rules in place to create beauty.” But Clarke’s most heartfelt piece of advice is this: “Don’t forget to care.” From the people who have made a difference in her life—her family, her mentor, her team at the Hair Force—to achieving the greatest goal she could set for herself, life has taught Clarke to care about the impact her work has on others. “When you care, you become hungry for knowledge. You become more passionate. You want to give your absolute best. Equip yourself with this and success just happens.” Now how Zen is that? S

FORTY BEAUTIFUL YEARS Maritime Beauty Supply Celebrates

By Tina Christopoulos

THERE’S A REASON WHY Maritime Beauty’s motto is Shaping Success Together. And that reason was all the more obvious during their 40th anniversary weekend celebration April 8—10, when some of the biggest names in the beauty industry took the stage to express their appreciation, respect and gratitude to Maurice Doucet, founder of Maritime Beauty, and his beautiful wife Ann, to whom he credits most of his success. “Thank you Maurice and Ann, I always feel like family here,” said Martin Parsons at Sunday evening’s gala. Dennis Sharp, former general manager of Redken was in attendance as a long-time friend. Ann Mincey hosted the evening. Chris Baran and Parsons delighted the crowd with a show of the trendiest and most polished looks of the season. One audience member hit the nail on the head when he spoke candidly about the way Maritime does beauty: with a lot of heart. And Minter Dial, from L’Oréal Canada, echoed the sentiment when he presented Ann and Maurice with a bouquet of flowers and an eloquent speech. “Our template is to do business on a personal level,” says Maurice. “Every time we see customers, we greet them with an embrace. We’re very close. Just like with our staff. If they’re having challenges we always get into their personal world and help out.” A lot of the Maritime staff has been loyal employees for over 15 years now. Maurice remembers many occasions when he’s gone in and helped save smaller second floor salons by refinancing them and getting them back on their feet. “That’s just the kind of business we are,” he says. Maurice has rubbed elbows with the best of the business, and in one single conversation can drop names like Horst Rechelbacher and Arnie Miller, founders of Aveda and Matrix, respectively, recounting personal stories and memories. One thing is clear as he jumps from one item to the next: passion reigns in his world, and it hasn’t diminished one bit in the last 40 years. Congratulations Maurice and the whole Maritime Beauty Supply team! S

HERE IS NO NEED TO ESCAPE to New York City’s salons for a glamorous transformation. Canada’s boomtown of the west is already ‘spreading the news’ about a unique service that introduces a whole new concept to the beauty and fashion industry. Located in Calgary’s designer district and attracting a diverse crowd of business professionals, students, commuters and urban shoppers, Pure Form Salon/Studio is a cut above the rest, says co-owner Angela Wiebe. “As the trend continues for hair salons to expand by providing spa and esthetic treatments, Pure Form is one-of-a-kind because it offers hair, cosmetics AND photography in the salon.” Wiebe says the addition of the photo studio allows Pure Form to be recognized as a top image-crafting salon. “Beauty on the outside starts with the right hair colour, cut and makeup application, but a portrait can capture a client’s inner beauty.” Walk in and you might think you’re in a hotel lobby or designer studio, with a New York City flare, but it’s far from intimidating. The ceiling is 14 ft. high making the layout open and clean. Even the floor is stunning. “It’s like walking on glass,” laughs Wiebe. “After the acid stain took effect, layers of wax were poured on top creating a luxurious look.” In the waiting area, there are no chairs but rather a long bench

built-in for dual purposes. “Covered with a plush comfortable cushion to sit on, we use the space underneath as a storage area,” explains Wiebe. “The same type of seating is used under our hooded dryers.” The front desk, makeup bar and retail shelves are oak finished in black walnut. Even the full-length mirror styling stations have the same kind of wood with built-in shelves on the sides for storage. “A lot of thought went into figuring out how we could store products and styling tools to maintain a clutter-free image,” says Wiebe. A 42-inch flat screen television shows a gallery of portraits taken by the in-house photographer. “It’s an easy sell when clients see the quality of work,” says Wiebe. “Everything from pregnancy portraits to bridal shots to family photos is available.” Wiebe admits during holidays when gifts are exchanged many women take advantage of getting an intimate photo done. “It’s the perfect present for her partner and every woman exudes a sense of intimate self.” Another pleasure clients receive after their hair appointment is a complimentary makeup touch up or full-face application done by Pure Form’s makeup designer. “We have a specially designed twoseated makeup bar where clients have the chance to learn about proper application, colours and skincare.” S
