EDITOR’S LETTER

Soma Colour Enhancement Procedures

Wash the client’s hair with Soma’s Clarifying Shampoo for a deep cleanse - removing styling and finishing product build-up and allowing for better color penetration.

scoring A Spray the client’s hair with Soma’s pH-balanced Leave-In Conditioner to even out the hair’s porosity for more even and beautiful color.

PERFECT 10

ull disclosure: I’m a recovered nail biter. While I’ve broken the habit years ago, I now live with the ramifications of nails that will never grow much past my fingertips. Nail deficiency

aside, it has never stopped me from road testing the latest innovations and products in this industry. From nail enhancements to traditional lacquers to everything in between, I’ve sat down with countless nail pros, so I’m always appreciative of the healthy steps (“Clean Slate,” page. 56) that are taken to create my perfect 10.

Apply Soma’s Complete Colour. This deposit-only color replaces any demi-color, while not fading like a demi-color (and does not fade brassy). It is great for sensitive scalps!

Because this part of our indstury continues to evolve, beginning on page 53, you’ll find more about the latest launches, simple technical reminders and incredible artistry at hand in our special nails section that we pulled together for the third year running. Scrolling through Instagram and searching hashtags like #ManiMonday, you’ll find that nails have become mini canvases. Nail art has gained such popularity that most salons consider it an added part of their manicures, and most clients will bring in nail inspiration pulled directly from these hashtags. Thanks to social media hype, nail technicians from coast to coast have become visual artists from coast to coast, and you’ll find five of them in “Masters of the Craft” on page 68. Plus, we feature the Contessa finalist collections for Canadian Nail Artist of the Year, so

SOMA Hair Technology 1.866.843.2257 www.somaorganics.com Facebook.com/somahair

nail professionals across the country, consider this your official call to enter! With Contessa entries kicking into high gear (entry deadline is July 28), we’re looking forward to receiving your submissions in all categories. From hair to makeup to nails, you’re all visual artists, and we can’t wait to see where you’ll take your creativity next.

Style the client's hair as desired using any of Soma's pH-balanced and SD 40 alcohol-free styling products. Low pH products keep the cuticle closed and prevent loss of color. Products with SD 40 alcohol cause immediate fading and dehydrate the hair.

Even if they are diligent with their SPF, your clients are experiencing signs of too much fun in the sun. From at-home products to in-office procedures, we went to the skin professionals to breakdown your options to repair the damage that’s been done.

The Fixer-Upper Almost all indicators that you've spent too much time in the sun fall under signs of “photoaging”. Defined by the Canadian Dermatology Association as a “premature aging of the skin caused by repeated exposure to ultraviolet radiation” there are several signs of photoaging you should look out for.

A Deluxe Experience Real luxury is all about the care and attention you offer clients— a way of enhancing your services that boosts the overall experience in your salon. Ready to take the high road to luxe? By Yasmin Grothé

We live in a hyper-connected, high-speed world and, because of this lifestyle, client expectations have also drastically evolved over the past decade. “Before, going to the salon was considered a social activity that women would look forward to—a special treat they would indulge in,” says Alain Laroche, director of professional development for L’Oréal Professionnel and Pureology. “But now, the salon is experienced as a place of utility. As such, client loyalty has dwindled and bookings are more and more spread out.” To assess the situation, L’Oréal Professionnel commissioned an in-depth market study that led to the creation of Salon Emotion, a revamping of all touchpoint areas meant “to re-enchant the client’s emotional journey.” Not surprisingly, attention

The couture approach

50% OF REGULAR CLIENTS ARE WILLING TO PAY MORE FOR HIGH-QUALITY RESULTS

The most successful colourists in the biz know how important it is to keep suggesting new ideas to clients and avoiding the dreaded “so, the same thing today?” script at all costs. Your client looks up to you for style direction— and you must deliver! With this in mind, Wella Professionals has launched Couture Color, a new approach to colour services that combines a premium, personalized experience with the current hair colour trends taken from the fashion runways. Taking inspiration from the bespoke craftsmanship of couture fashion houses, Couture Color clients are given unique and tailor-made colour that highlights their unique

to spend more time with the client.” Clients are willing to spend more money when you create a premium experience for these types of services. ”The goal is to offer a personalized experience,” reminds Switzer. “Taking excellent care of the quality of the hair will yield super positive results for the client as well as her perception of your salon. As a stylist you have to believe it. You have to have that highend mentality.”

clients receive a colour service after being given a thorough consultation

A Touch of Luxury In a partnership with Schwarzkopf Professional, Alterna is being reintroduced to salons across the country. Whether it’s caviar-infused for anti-aging and repair, organic bamboo for strength, or a fusion of 10 ultraluxe ingredients, the product range includes a mix of natural and clinically proven ingredients that pack powerful benefits for your clients’ hair.

Look & Feel Creating the luxe set-up. Create a bistro-style sitting area where you can proceed with a consultation face to face, not through a mirror, aiming for your client to feel valued and special. Time is money. More and more clients want to work when they’re in the technical area. Install laptop- and phone-charging outlets at every station. Offer a menu of healthy, delicious snacks, including an assortment of juices and smoothies. If you have the real estate, build a quiet and relaxing section (with dimmed lights) in your salon that's dedicated to premium services such as masques and massages. Always walk your clients to the checkout. Taking this time is key for 10 to 20 per cent of client loyalty, and the last touchpoint that the customer will remember.

TOP FIVE CHALLENGES

Financial matters Making the time to plan your finances, from paying rent to paying for products, means you need the

right people to stay organized. Finding a good accountant

and bookkeeper is essential because you’ll need solid business advice from professionals. Still, you’ll need to keep track of your expenses and receipts to avoid paying a higher price for their services, as financial professionals will charge accordingly. Plus, having good financial professionals on board will help you track your own savings so that you can take vacation or sick days when you need to.

Team support “It’s important for salon owners to build up the talent of young hairstylists and get involved

in community events,” says Mark Liddall, director of

sales for Venus Beauty Supplies Ltd. He sees that staff enjoy the energy of a strong team environment. When you’re working on your own, cultivating creativity can be a challenge because you don’t have anyone else with whom to discuss ideas. At the same time, Liddall notes that the suite environment may be more appealing to hairstylists who are at a more advanced level in their careers and prefer to focus their time behind the chair.

OPPORTUNITIES OVER OBSTACLES Check out ways in which these salon owners are making the most of the opportunity to build their businesses.

walk-in clients in a salon, which doesn’t happen when you’re working in a suite environment. Liddall also notes that the client experience is different in a suite than in a salon. “Many clients prefer a large, open salon space, where positive energy is happening,” he says, adding that this difference in a client’s experience may impact your clientele.

Retail challenges Retailing can offset your expenses and play a big role in increasing your bottom line. But carrying

a product line is a financial commitment, and any products you carry need to translate to sales, which means that you’ll need to up your selling game.

Even though she’s not in a traditional salon, Quinn says she has still been able to stay connected with other hairstylists and beauty professionals. “We cross-refer and we’re all really very fortunate that we have this really good energy,” says Quinn of the other hairstylists at Pro Beauty Suites.

Controlling your product Keeping tabs on product inventory can be tricky, and both Crosby and Quinn say it’s important not to overstock from the beginning. “Only keep product lines that you use to recommend to your clients for home care,” says Quinn.

OWNER’S MANUAL Think you have what it takes to be a salon owner? We asked salon business owners about turning obstacles into opportunities, keeping costs down without cutting corners and the most important asset in any salon: your staff team. By Anna Lee Boschetto

ever waiver from what you believe in. Earlier on as a salon owner, Alann Sluser says this was the best advice she ever received. While attending a business seminar, Sluser, owner of Edmonton’s

KoKo the Salon, says she was beginning to question the way she was doing business. “I was questioning whether I was creating the right environment for hairstylists,” says Sluser, but after hearing this advice from more seasoned entrepreneurs, she forged ahead. Early on, it can be tough to assess whether or not you’re moving your business in the right direction, which means that tapping into business resources and networking opportunities allows you to cultivate and expand your knowledge. Now, KoKo the Salon boasts a robust business, with clients looking for that custom salon experience with added features, all thanks to Sluser staying true to her business beliefs.

THE CHALLENGE: LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION Foot traffic will bring in new business, and as Dat Tran, owner of Dat Salon in Toronto, attests, you need to factor this into your location: “When choosing my location, I used the number of people walking by to calculate the value I was going to get from being in a particular area.” Basically, if you have a lot of traffic on the street, there are many more opportunities to bring them in the door.

THE CHALLENGE: DESIGN EXCHANGE When it comes to designing your salon, you want to stay on budget Chantelle Pasychny, owner of DesignHouse Salon in Victoria, B.C. As the 2014 winner of Davines’ Eco Salon Design Award, Pasychny remained true to her environmental roots by using materials that were both sustainable and renewable. “We used a lot of raw materials from a local mill, which reduced costs, and we invested where we needed to in lighting, which

is critical for a salon,” says Pasychny. She cut down on costs even further by working along with her contractor on projects, including painting, rather than hiring professionals.

THE CHALLENGE: FINANCIAL BALANCE As an owner, Pasychny found managing the financial aspects of the business a tough haul, but she quickly established a solid network that helped her get the job done. As Pasychny discovered, a bookkeeper can help you realize where you overspend and where you save: “I thought I was looking at my finances critically, but having a professional review my salon’s finances made me realize where to prioritize my time, money and efforts more effectively.” What was one of her most important takeaways from that time? “Look at your finances daily, see how you’re evolving and visualize where you want to be to get there,” she says, adding that this is a must-do to ensure success long-term. “Think of retail as an additional hairstylist,” says Sluser. Given that retail is such a critical component of a salon’s success, it’s wise advice. For many salon owners, bringing hairstylists on board with the retail "game" can be a challenge, but Sluser has found that having brands you believe in, is one of the best ways to sell. “As a hairstylist, I need to be comfortable with using a product before I’m going to sell it,” she explains. It’s a simple philosophy but one that Pasychny echoes with her team.

THE CHALLENGE: IN THE MARKET When you’re starting out, creating a brand can be a daunting task, but as Pasychny attests having a marketing plan will ultimately contribute to profitability. “Time goes fast, you need to manage my time properly, take an afternoon, to plan out things you want to attract,” explains Pasychny. At the end of every month, make the time to review what worked, what didn’t and what you can do for upcoming months. For Pasychny and her team, being involved in community events including donating to local charities has garnered free publicity, and this strategy not only helps grow the salon business but also her team. “Other hairstylists started to hear about us, and see us involved in events and those were also the types of people we wanted to reach for our salon team,” says Pasychny.

THE CHALLENGE: CULTIVATE YOUR CULTURE Opening a salon is challenging enough, so having a team that will support the business you’re building is essential. “We do a lot of education and we compete and, as a result, we attract people who are looking for something a bit different,” says Sluser. From editorial work to education, Tran would agree, that creating opportunities for hairstylists to step out from behind the chair is key. “Most stylists want to create and grow, so you need to be relevant to your team to keep them happy,” says Tran. As Pasychny discovered, having the right team who echo her salon’s brand, not only leads to greater profitability but also creates the environment she wants for both clients and her team.

# ONPOINT TECHNICAL

CLEAN SLATE Performing a manicure may be a basic service for nail technicians, but sometimes even the simplest steps are missed. To help you keep your services top-notch, Jennifer Mather, business development manager for CND, and Erica Nieuwenhuis, director of marketing and education for Bio Sculpture Canada Inc., explain the health and safety corners you should never cut. ENHANCE THE EXPERIENCE One of the main things that many nail technicians skip when performing enhancements on a client is prep. “Enhancements bond with the keratin on the nail plate, so you want to prepare the nail in a way that maintains the integrity of the natural nail,” explains Mather, adding that this includes using the right products to remove dust and bacteria from the nail first.

CLEAN MINDFULLY Mather also recommends that when you're preparing the nail for any kind of service, whether you’re adding enhancements or not, you must be careful how you’re removing the cuticle. “The true cuticle is the non-living tissue that’s grown down the nail, but many people think it’s the skin that surrounds the nail,” says Mather. This is actually the eponychium and is intended to protect the integrity of the skin and nails.

ADDRESS THE ISSUE It can be difficult to turn a client away, but both Mather and Nieuwenhuis remind us that nail technicians shouldn’t be performing any services on clients that have medical concerns but should refer them to their physicians instead. “Conditions such as brittle nails, peeling or breaking just require some extra care in terms of conditioning and moisturizing,” adds Nieuwenhuis.

KEEP IT CLEAN ON THE ROAD Working backstage at a show shouldn’t prevent you from keeping up the same level of care and cleanliness that you would uphold in the salon, so Nieuwenhuis recommends bringing disinfecting wipes to clean surfaces before and after working on them and bringing a sealed and labelled container for disinfected implements. “Whenever possible, be disposable, using orangewood sticks and disposable files so that everything you’re using can be thrown out after use,” explains Mather.

Nieuwenhuis explains that clients are becoming more educated about their own hand health, but that doesn’t mean you should stop speaking about common issues. Mather also stresses that if you have nail-biters on your hands, remind them about all the bacteria they’re spreading and how damaging the effects can be on the integrity of the nail.

# ONPOINT INSPIRATION

Bling Ring As nail art takes a minimalistic turn this season, it’s no surprise that metallic accents and colour blocking (plus a combination of the two) are the must-have nail art trends for spring/summer. SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK “From Chanel to The Blonds, we saw metallic in all forms, from a solid silver metallic nail to metallic lines as accents,” explains Alicia Torello, celebrity manicurist for OPI. “For me, inspiration always comes from jewellery,” says Rita Remark, lead nail artist and global lead educator for Essie Canada. “I incorporate metallic accents so that they appear tastefully, as though they were a ring or necklace.” To add a different variety of metallic accents to your clients' nails, Remark suggests doing glitter, like Essie Set in Stones, and focusing it just along the cuticle or the tip.

BLOCK PARTY “Colour blocking is such a great way to ease your clients into nail

ESSIE Set in Stones

art because if you use similar colours, it’s less of a contrast and won’t jump off the nail,” explains Remark. John Nguyen, education ambassador for CND, suggests while that the checkerboard pattern spotted at Libertine was a fun and graphic design, “changing up the angle and going diagonal, instead of using vertical or horizontal lines, makes the colour blocking a bit more unexpected and interesting.” “To tone it down for your clients, choose colours in the same earth tone family," adds Remark, "or if you want to go eye-catching, go for a sporty-fresh red-blue combination like Essie Fifth Avenue and Butler Please.”

PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER ESSIE Butler Please

Who says you can’t combine these two designs to deliver an on-trend mani? Remark’s recommendation: “Pair silver with a light grey, gold with a taupe, or copper with a dusty mauve.” Nguyen also recommends choosing a base for colour blocking that is neutral but has a metallic finish to it, like CND Skin Tease and Lavender Lace, though Safety Pin is also a great option because it’s a silver-copper combination that acts as a neutral as well.

Masters of the Craft Creating art on miniature canvases has become an intricate, if not integral, part of the job for nail professionals. We pored over Instagram to find out what the nail trends are across the nation. Here, we spoke with five nail pros in different parts of the country, and asked them how they keep their creative energy on the uptick. By Ashley Kowalewski

TAYLOR DOWNES creative director at Her Majesty’s Pleasure in Toronto @ Beauty.by.TayDownes @ HerMajestysPleasure Salon Magazine: What does your role as creative director entail?

Taylor Downes : In terms of services, I still do everything here, including some makeup, but the majority is nails. I research trends to make sure that we’re on point with what’s happening in fashion, hair and makeup, and we’ll create nail art looks that fit with the aesthetic of our space.

SM : What do you look for when creating these looks? TD : We want to give our clients a better experience, but for our look, there are new things that we want to do for spring/summer and certain looks that we don’t want to do. We’re working on some fun stuff for summer—blues and metallics—and creating some nail art looks for when clients come in. PHOTOS: HER MAJESTY'S PLEASURE

SM : What nail art do you prefer? TD : I like darker colours—something a bit moodier. I don’t really like brighter colours unless it’s a pastel blue or something a bit softer. In terms of nail art, I like architectural, minimalistic designs that still have an edginess to them—nothing overdone.

SADIE KENNEDY nail artist at Barbarella in Montreal @ NextLevelNails @ Barbarella_Mtl Salon Magazine: How did you get started in the industry, and how long have you been doing nails?

Sadie Kennedy : I started as a hairstylist and the salon I was managing at the time wanted to add nail services, so I figured that the best way to manage that aspect was to learn it myself. I ended up absolutely loving it! I’ve been doing nails for about seven years now and I’ve been at Barbarella for almost four.

SM : What is your favourite part about your job? SK: I have a set clientele, so I get to build a really great bond with them. I got really lucky and got called to do a shoot with Coco Rocha one time and that was definitely a highlight of my nail career.

SM : What nail art do you prefer? SK: I like a very clean design, like a solid black and white design with a pop of colour—and that colour will depend on the season. And a little bit of glitter never hurt anybody.

KEIKO MATSUI owner of Glam Nail Studio in Richmond, B.C. @ GlamNailStudio Salon Magazine : When did you open up your own salon? Keiko Matsui : I became a nail artist as a second career because it really appealed to my creative, crafty side. I became a nail technician about 13 years ago and then opened up my own salon in 2008.

SM : What sort of nail art do you like best? KM : Our salon specializes in 3-D Japanese nail art, and PHOTOS: BARBARELLA, GLAM NAIL STUDIO

we have over 30 awards between the staff in the salon. Competitions really push us to find new ways of doing nail art, using different colours and shapes.

SM : How do you continue to grow your business? KM : We take pictures of all of our nail art and Japanese nail art is very popular—we have over 6,400 followers on Instagram. We get a lot of comments from people all over the world, but not a lot of people are doing this kind of nail art, which sets us apart.

# ONPOINT PROFILE ELIZABETH COWAN nail artist at Ritual in Toronto @ ElizabethsNails @ RitualToronto Salon Magazine: What does your day consist of? Elizabeth Cowan : I work a lot with clients, so my day consists of mostly manicures and pedicures, but since I’m one of the main staff that do nail art, sometimes I do more manicures. Other times, we’ll do some nail art samples or create looks for an upcoming season to show to clients when they come in.

SM : Where do you get your inspiration? EC : The products are a huge inspiration, especially getting to see the new colours and products that brands come out with. I also get a lot of inspiration from the industry itself, even other nail artists—it’s super-inspiring to try to come up with new designs.

SM : What is some of the best career advice you’ve received? EC : Try things on yourself first if you’re not sure how it’s going to work. I learned how to do gel and acrylic and then got better at it by practising on myself—it’s the same thing with nail art.

VAN VO owner of The Nailkeeper in Edmonton The Nailkeeper Salon Magazine: How did you get started in the industry?

Van Vo : I come from a background of nail artists so I was around it, but I knew that when I opened up my own salon almost two years ago, I would want it to be more of my own style and concept.

SM : Where do you get your inspiration? V V: I follow nail artists and magazines on Instagram to see what’s happening in the design world, but sometimes it just comes from a piece of clothing, like a plaid shirt. I often challenge my team to try and create new freehand designs and techniques with

SM : How do you set your salon apart? V V: We do a lot of charity work. We also host a kids book club at our nail salon on Sundays so that our clients can come in for a service and we’ll read to the kids or do crafts with them while they relax and get their nails done.

GIRL CAVE Forget the man cave, Candy Nail Bar in Montreal is an ultra-girlie haven. By Ashley Kowalewski

amara Di Lullo, owner of Candy Nail Bar in Montreal, had an interest in nails from a young age. And though she opened up her own salon after going down a

different career path, finding the perfect location was the first step. “We had the option of moving into the space we’re in now or going into downtown Montreal,” says Di Lullo. She settled on her current location because “it was a cool area in the '90s, but it’s growing again—our business has really helped attract trendy restaurants and grow the clientele.”

50 SHADES OF PINK To create a space that was fit for manicures, pedicures and, of course, larger parties, it was important to create an environment that stood out. “It’s girlie and over the top, but glam, too—I wanted it to look like a dollhouse,” explains Di Lullo. And while it’s not a reflection of her personal style, the decor and level of service is what sets their nail bar apart from other nail salons in the area. “I have clients coming in saying ‘This is what I’d do in my house if my boyfriend weren’t around,’” making it the ultimate girl cave.

DESIGNER DOLLHOUSE “I think the reason [the design] works is that, even though there’s a lot going on, it’s clean,” explains Di Lullo. When it came to pulling her design together, she says, “I didn’t get all of the elements from one source: I went to estate sales and bought antiques and either refurbished or reupholstered them myself or custom-made them.” Citing her background in fashion as the basis for her design, Di Lullo explains, “There’s a lot going on, but there was also a lot of thought put into the details to make sure the textures and colours worked together.”
