Eryn Wall, from the Head Room in St. John’s, NFLD, took first place in the Young Talent category for the second year in a row! Eryn was inspired by Wella’s Techno Poetry trend from the 2010 collection and drew from her experience at last year’s international competition in Berlin to complete her final look.
Kelly Ferreira, from Reshaped Salon in Milton Ontario, was thrilled when her name was announced as the winner of the Color Category. This was Kelly’s first time competing and she chose to interpret Wella’s Techno Poetry trend as she was inspired by the femininity and softness of the look.

EDITOR’S LETTER
ne of my favourite things about travelling abroad is seeing how hair and beauty trends differ from country to country. Whether I was in Asia or Australia, one thing I noticed was that influences from all over the globe swayed these beauty markets in more ways than one. I remember being in Korea and seeing women sport cropped red or platinum wigs—very similar to the styles seen in North America at the time. One of this month’s international hair collections from Australian hairstylist Simone Lee (p. 60) is even influenced by the Japanese art of origami. Beauty is an international language that ignites passion around the world. Today, hairstylists and beauty professionals are sharing their ideas and creativity through social media and those global influences are stretching further—and faster—than ever. In this industry we never stop learning. While so many of us travel the globe for work, it’s important to consider going abroad for education as well. Many facilities are available worldwide to further skills in countless aspects of the salon industry, whether it be cutting, colouring or learning about business. There is so much to be gained from the knowledge of experts in other parts of the world, as well as connecting with hair professionals from these countries. Our story on global education (p. 44) outlines the benefits of travelling for education. Have you learned a valuable piece of information that is vital to your salon business while being abroad?

he Webster's dictionary defines the word revitalize as to restore vitality to, or to bring back to life. In this fast paced world, we all need to be revitalized. Some people take vacation, go to the cottage or go to a spa. In the professional beauty industry, servicing clients and managing a salon business can be draining. It’s not uncommon for beauty pros to run out of steam. What does one do to revitalize themselves and their business? This fall I attended a few events that I personally thought were outstanding, not only in the delivery of education, but creating an inspirational experience. Redken, in celebration of its 50th anniversary, threw a three-day symposium in Montreal that was one of the best I’ve attended. It was packed with high energy, great shows and parties. Above all, it was a fantastic lineup of education. Another equally stellar event hosted by Toronto Barber and Beauty Supply was Kevin.Murphy’s two-day getaway. It was a laidback education forum including Murphy himself with classes on editorial hairstyling to photo shooting, in the beautiful setting of the Blue Mountain resort in Ontario. At the final dinner, I looked around the room filled with the hairstylists laughing and connecting like old pals and realized most of these people hadn’t met each other until that weekend. I met very seasoned stylists at both events who gladly gave up their days off for this opportunity to learn. Egos were checked at the door as hairstylists with 15 years experience practiced on their mannequin heads. There’s something quite unique about being immersed in a brandspecific event. There’s no big product push and most who are there know the brand already. It’s quite nuanced and subtler than a typical hair show. Of course, the education is key, as well as the camaraderie and sharing of ideas. The feeling of community is quite electric and very revitalizing! On a final note, the Contessa Gala is coming up on Nov. 14. Time to get your party dress on and celebrate one of Canada’s finest nights in the industry. See you there!

Macadamia Natural Oil launches new products for shiny, smooth hair Just off the success of their macadamia nut and argan oil treatment, Macadamia Natural Oil has added two new products to its best-selling line. A lighter mist-on version of its signature oil blend, the Healing Oil Spray is ideal for finer-haired folks who want to boost elasticity and softness without falling flat. The nozzle sprayer means a controlled application minus the heavy buildup associated with some oils and serums. Their newly reworked Rejuvenating Shampoo re-hydrates parched strands with a bonus sure to be popular with clients: nasty sulphates and parabens have been removed from the formula.

other advantage is that we can leave information with the clients directly by emailing it,” she says. Having been in hairstyling for over 15 years Tronson sums it up best: “All salons big or small can benefit from using technology within their business. To quote an old saying, ‘you can’t do today’s job with yesterday’s methods and be in business tomorrow.’”
A few of the ways Tronson and De Berardinis suggest salons incorporate the iPad 1. Offer the iPad to clients during their colour process. 2. Promote the iPad as a tool for on-the-go clients who need to multitask. 3. Connect your iPad to the salon computer system so booking, stock control and more can be done from anywhere in your establishment. 4. Offer the iPad in the waiting area to give clients something to play with while they wait. Tronson also cites a number of benefits to your business, including monitoring staff performance, more direct marketing, better stock control and cost effectiveness and, overall, technology will always add value to your business. Moreover, he says that in speaking with salon owners all over the UK, it’s the ones who have embraced technology that have better retention rates and more effective communication with their clientele.

lients are constantly on the hunt for something new. A successful salon is no longer just about great cut and colour; it’s about being innovative and cutting-edge. The next wave of technology that salons should be embracing is the Apple iPad. Why? Rikki Tronson, salon consultant and technology expert for hji.co.uk, says, “Your business will be more portable with the iPad. You can book appointments from anywhere in the salon, which means you don’t end up with a queue at the front desk. And, if you use an online booking system your clients will be able to book their next appointment from the comfort of their seat.” Adrian De Berardinis, a native Canadian, celebrity stylist and owner of New York-based De Berardinis Salon has recently incorporated the iPad into his salon environment. “Let’s face it, the iPad is a great tech gadget that helps pass time during hours in the chair and keeps clients happily occupied and entertained. Salons should consider incorporating this new technology into their service in order to attract new customers and distinguish their salon as a luxurious destination. We currently have four iPads that we disperse among clients during services, and so far we’ve only had positive feedback,” he says. Need more proof that this is a bandwagon you and your salon should jump on? Sophie Ouellette of Quebec-based distributor AmiCo says all of the company’s sales reps are now equipped with an iPad. “For us, the idea was to lower the amount of paper and copies we are producing. Also at the same time it is so easy to bring with you into the salon, instead of carrying the tons of catalogues and brochures, price lists and deals from all the different manufacturers. We now have everything in hand, just at the end of the finger! The

Sticker SHoCk Most clients are familiar with the price of in-salon services, while others can still be taken aback by the retail price of salon products. The challenge for the stylist is to convince their client that having the proper care for their colour is a wise investment. “The price should definitely be a part of the conversation and not be an afterthought,” says Tryansky. “It should be brought up during the discussion of why this is the best shampoo/ conditioner regimen and why the price is justified. The multiple benefits outweigh the cost of the product.” If they use a quality shampoo and conditioner for colour-treated hair, colour lasts longer, while keeping the hair healthy. In actuality, clients are saving money in the long run. Marchese sums it up best and says, “Why would you not use a professional product when you are getting a professional colour?” S

ou’re happy with the colour you’ve just created and your client loves their new look. Now the question is how to make sure that colourful investment is well protected once your client leaves. “Having the colour care conversation with your client is an important part of the service,” says Jayme Tryansky, associate brand manager at Piidea Canada. “Not only does the stylist want their customers to walk away with beautiful, vibrant colour, they also want them to be satisfied the next day, the next week and beyond.” In order to make sure your client understands the importance of the advice you are offering, timing the right moment to educate them on at-home colour care is the key. Joey Marchese, stylist with Salon Massimo in Toronto, likes to bring up the topic of colour care at the end of the service, when he shows the client the result and also tells them about the styling products he has used to achieve the desired look. According to Marchese, bringing up the topic of maintenance in the salon shows your client that the service doesn’t end here. “Maintaining colour with the right products at home is an important and ongoing step,” he says. “Basically, it all comes down to explaining in detail what these high-tech products can do to optimise colour protection.”

All Abroad
We spoke with three beauty industry pros to get the skinny on relocating and working overseas By Melissa Brazier
Top tips for estheticians who want to work aboard a ship: Be yourself during the interview. There are so many different types of cruise lines and brands of spas available, the odds are that you will fit perfectly into one of them.
Background: For the past six years, Simon Caswell, who is originally from Thunder Bay, ON, has been working aboard cruise ships in the esthetics and spa field. Starting out as a massage therapist, he has now worked his way up to management and has been a spa manager on board for the past three years. Experiences: Sunsets on the beach, glacier calving, whale and dolphin watching, snorkelling the Great Barrier Reef, live bands in Bali and more.
Top tips for settling in at a new job on a cruise line: Take your time. Don’t do everything at once, it can be overwhelming if you don’t take some time for yourself. Make the effort. There are a lot of things on ships that are different than land jobs. Sometimes policies and procedures can seem a bit strange or pointless, but just remember, there is a good reason for everything and if you keep an open mind you will get along fine. Have fun. Enjoy all the experiences available to you both on board and in the ports of call.

s a l o n > november+december 10
Be ready to work. When you picture cruise life in your mind, it can sometimes be portrayed as an idyllic vacation setting where you can lounge at the pool deck and catch some rays. Just remember you will be there as an employee, not a guest. Be flexible. You will be living in close quarters and working on a daily basis with people from all over the world. It is vital that you be able to adapt to various cultures. Put yourself out there. One thing you will definitely learn working aboard a ship is how to promote yourself effectively. This is a very useful skill, but can’t be learned by hanging back. Make the most of your adventure. It can get hectic at work sometimes, but the best way to recharge yourself is to go out and really experience the wonderful places you get to see. Check out onespaworld.com to begin the search for a new job aboard a cruise line. Do your homework and find out as much as you can about all the different cruise lines and where they go. The main thing is not to get your heart set on a single itinerary or cruise line, as you may end up anywhere.

Then take that number and add 15 per cent and have a reserve of at least three to four months. Make an action plan. What is your short-term goal versus long-term goal? What is your charter? Write it down,
Top tips for settling in at a new job and location: Do not approach it like a bull; respect the fact that your co-workers are as talented and dedicated as you are. Take time in meeting and getting to know your co-workers so you can understand their strengths and passion. Do not be judgmental if people don’t warm up to you immediately; it’s their safety mechanism and usually conceals a bit of insecurity.

Top tips for hairstylists who want to relocate to another country: • Make sure you are committed to learning the language. • Understand the hairstyling education standards and try to meet them. • Learn about the new culture you are in, get in touch with your future clients to suss out any differences. • Choose a salon that is well-known in the city, one where it is easier to build a clientele and the owners are used to employing stylists from other countries and/or cultures. • Ask yourself the important questions: Do you like the country’s food, fashion, lifestyle, climate? What can you learn from the standard of the industry? • Get connected with some stylists who are from the country you are considering relocating to, and learn about the language, lifestyle and salon habits.

With a whole world of beauty waiting to be discovered, why not step out from your own backyard and travel overseas to further your education? By Emily Gravelle
I
t
f one thing is true about the beauty industry, it’s that professionals in this field are always learning. Today, more than ever, hairstylists are examining trends from around the globe to keep up to speed on the latest hair fashion. Tiffany McLean, operations manager at Schwarzkopf’s London ASK Academy, says hairstylists should consider enrolling in a program abroad to further their education and knowledge of trends. “Travelling abroad for training is a totally renewing experience and it’s important to step outside the norm if you really want to make a dynamic change to your business,” she says. “We find overseas students are open to new ideas and it’s inspiring to meet international trainers.”

London Calling ASK AcAdemy
SASSoon AcAdemy educAtion
While Schwarzkopf has 50 ASK Academies all over the globe (including the UK, Spain, Australia, Belgium and the newly renovated Athens location), the London facility has been a popular destination for students looking to broaden their skills. The ASK Academy’s name stands for attitude, skills and knowledge—key values that define a top hairstylist. The London location has two fully functioning salons designed for role play and salon-to-salon training, a presentation area for an audience of 100 and adaptable space for intimate or large group teaching. “We also have a photographic studio where we often work with John Rawson—a prolific British Hairdresser of the Year photographer,” says McLean. The academy specializes in top-end training and offers over 20 courses covering everything from basic colour, cutting and retail to fashion and session styling, as well as making Essential Looks a hit in the salon. ASK Academy pays particular attention to educating their students on salon business, which is just as important as keeping up to speed on the latest hair trends. “We have two renowned business leaders heading up a ‘walk and talk through’ of an intense business course,” says McLean. “Every business that goes through this program comes out stronger and better.”
Also located in London is the well-known Sassoon Academy. While Sassoon has educational facilities throughout the US, Canada, and Germany, London is thought of as the cornerstone of all the schools of hairstyling, according to Nhi Tran, creative director for Sassoon Salon in Toronto. At Sassoon the teaching and learning philosophy has been developed in the form of a pyramid. It begins with the ABC courses, which cover the dynamics of hair through cutting and colouring the Sassoon way, and then moves into a Salon Creative course where students take their skills and combine the ABC techniques in different ways to enhance their individual style. The final element is about creativity, hairstylists are encouraged to break rules and start experimenting. The London Sassoon Academy attracts hairstylists from all over the world, but language barriers are not an issue here. “Students come from all over the world to this location. The last time I was there we had 14 students from Russia who didn’t speak a drop of English,” says Tran. “In this case, we have interpreters available for both the demonstration sessions and the hands-on session.
Global Connection
For those not planning a trip abroad any time soon, L’Oréal Professionnel has made it possible to connect with international hair experts on a global level. H3 (referred to as H-cubed) is designed on the philosophy of the heart, hand and head. “The heart inspires with passion, the hand gains technical expertise and the head develops business through the H3 online community,” says Colin Ford, L’Oréal Professionnel’s director of education and events. “We feel these three elements are key points for any hairstylist to be successful.” H3 is an international team of six hairstylists from different countries. Every year this creation team determines the cutting and styling trends
48
s a l o n > november+december 10
and then passes on this knowledge to an international network of 200 H3 ambassadors across the world. These ambassadors then carry forward this passion and creativity to inspire L’Oréal Professionnel salons. “The international creation team changes every year so there is a different flavour,” says Ford. “This year the team is made up of members from France, UK, Czech Republic, Denmark, Netherlands and Scotland.” The latest H3 education programs took place across Canada this fall and focused on acquiring cutting techniques of renowned international hairstylists, improving understanding of product use and learning two women’s and two men’s cuts. “One of the other areas we focus on is client training or how to train your client to keep their hair looking great after they leave the salon,” says Ford. H3 learning doesn’t stop in the classroom. Students from around the globe are connected to each other via the H3 International Facebook page so they can continue sharing their ideas, knowledge and tips on how to build a better salon business with other stylists from around the world. Currently, the H3 International Facebook Page has over 3,000 fans with students from South Africa to Russia sharing their passion for hair. S

One-stop Shop Most professionals in the beauty industry are familiar with American International Industries because of their coveted brands By Yasmin Grothé
A
merican International Industries (AII) is the parent company to more than 40 brands, from Andrea lashes to trendy China Glaze nail polish to Gigi waxes. A worldwide manufacturer and distributor of professional beauty products in over 180 countries, AII has been in business for more than 30 years. The company was started in the ’70s when American International’s president and CEO, Zvi Ryzman (who also happens to be an orthodox rabbi), began selling human-hair eyelashes. In 1974, he saw Supernail at a trade show and fell in love with the product. He quickly purchased the company and would hit the road every week, sporting long acrylic nails to demonstrate the product, making sales, and returning home each Friday. The products were so successful, Ryzman decided to acquire more brands and create a company from which beauty retailers could buy all the products they desired.
Sunny California Headquartered in L.A., in a massive space occupying almost 250,000 sq. ft. housing corporate offices, warehouse, on-site manufacturing and distribution facilities, AII supplies numerous brands to reach all segments of retail, beauty-supply, grocery, boutique and specialty markets, all sold exclusively through distributors and wholesalers. “Seventy per cent of our brands reach the consumer through beauty professionals, while we manufacture more than 95 per cent of all the products ourselves,” says Mickey Fenig, international sales manager.
50
s a l o n > november+december 10
Over the years, AII has not only made a niche for itself but has become a major player in the highlycompetitive beauty market. “AII has a very flat organization,” says Fenig. “The sales managers, the VP of sales, VP of marketing and the owner know just about every customer we have in 180 countries.” He also says the company likes to invest in long-term relationships. AII has employees and customers who have been with them for nearly 35 years. “We like to view our customers as partners in growth,” he says. “If they don’t grow, we don’t grow. At AII the golden rule is: a word is a word, and a handshake is real.”
Managing Growth Over the years, more and more brands have been added to the expanding portfolio. “We specialize in carrying a huge variety of beauty products. The synergy works for us and for our customers,” says Fenig. However, managing that huge an inventory can pose challenges. “Our warehouses and systems have limitations and we have to adapt quickly to the ever-present changes. Finding the right people is never easy, especially when growth and change are occurring,” he says. It seems that AII is poised to make one big push ahead in terms of product offering in the next few years. "We want to keep increasing the range of our products, so look for more to come,” says Ryzman. “Specifically, we are developing natural and organic offerings in our existing brands.” A wise move, it seems, for a market demanding more eco, natural and socially-responsible products.

PHOTOS COURTESY OF FELIX NG FOR PHOTO BABAK
F
our hairstylists from the US and Canada came to Toronto in late August to embark on a weeklong photo shoot with a team of industry experts. These Joico/ISO artists, Robert Josef, Erica Jemison, Chad Taylor and Eve Parr, won first place in their categories for the first-ever Shoot-To-Win photo competition. Their grand prize was to create a photo collection with renowned photographer Babak, multi-award winning makeup artist and stylist Cheryl Gushue, and receive mentoring by Joico's international creative director Damien Carney. Gina Coburn-Steele, Joico/ISO director of North American artistic development, conceived the competition for artists to encourage them to stretch their “photo” muscles and show off work that doesn’t get widely seen. The photo shoot took place over a period of seven days and the creative energy was flying. Coburn-Steele, Babak, Gushue and Carney, shot with the four winners and produced competition-worthy images. But what does it take in order to achieve that winning image? The dream team who made “Shoot Week” a success divulges the secrets to the perfect photo shoot and how to be a champion.

The Photographer For well-known Canadian photographer Babak, team collaboration is key to achieve a successful photo shoot. “It feels like the days of face-to-face contact or live telephone conversations are diminishing with email and social media being such prominent forms of communication,” says Babak. “But it’s important to have live conversations before the shoot so that certain ideas are fully understood and won’t be hard to pull off.” Babak likes to compare the day of the photo shoot to being on the set of a movie. “There has got to be a director and the photographer needs to be that person,” he says. “You can’t have everyone on set in charge of producing an image, so it's up to the photogapher to make sure everything comes together well. If the hairstylist wants to have a certain type of jewelry around the neck, it is the responsibility of the photographer to make sure it reads well on camera.” He also likes to mentor his clients on how to stay current with their looks. “One piece of advice I like to give is just because your model has crazy hair or pink eyelashes, doesn’t mean the shot is going to be interesting,” he says. “I’ve probably seen that look enough and I need to speak up when a particular idea has been overdone.”
The Mentor Carney was on set at Shoot Week to help, support and direct the photo shoot with the team. “The week was equally as thrilling and inspiring for me as it was for the rest of the team doing the shoot,” he says. “But I deliberately stepped back and avoided being too hands-on in order for the team to learn on their own. I was like a safety net to catch, hold and support them.” No matter how much time or money a shoot might cost, Carney says the images must say something and jump off the page, as well as showcase the hairstylist’s signature and identity. “Remember your images are representing or creating a

brand image for you. It’s a creative way of marketing yourself, your team and your business,” he says. “Don’t overdo or add too many ideas or it will look overdone and messy.” Even subtle movements with the hair can make or break the outcome of a picture. To fully understand how small changes to the hair will impact an image, Carney suggests the hairstylist look through the lens. “The whole world is different through the lens, so purchase a digital camera and use it as your third eye,” he says. “Get used to seeing hair texture, light reflection, quality, shadows and general composition in the eyes of a photographer. Do this and you’ve got it!”
The Makeup Artist and Wardrobe Stylist As an experienced makeup artist whose handiwork has appeared on runways, in magazines and in several winning hair competition collections, Gushue knows what will make or break a shot. “You’ve got to have a great model, it makes all the difference in the world,” she says. “That means you can shoot her from any angle, so if your hairstyle is specific to either side of the face, you know that you won’t be limited.” When selecting a model, Gushue suggests looking for great skin, good bone structure and to go with someone who is a professional. “When you use someone who is a friend or client, they’ll likely be nervous as they have never shot on camera before. That can make things very difficult,” she says. When it comes to selecting makeup and wardrobe that will complement your style, be sure the hair will take centre stage. “If the focus of the shoot is on the hair, you don’t want to draw attention away from it with makeup, clothing or accessories that appear too overbearing,” says Gushue. “In this case, I usually focus on the eyes and not the lips or vice versa for makeup. Also be sure to pay close attention to makeup trends that are happening on the runways.”
Web Savvy In August, media and prominent hairstylists from around the globe gathered in Toronto’s ultra-luxe Hazleton Hotel for the kick-off of Joico/ISO Shoot Week and the launch and screening of the new web initiatives joicoartists.com and isoartists.com. The primary focus of the sites is to give the stylist, sales consultant, distributor, beauty editors and producers a place to experience an artist and see their work. S

Redken’s Big

s a l o n > november+december 10
EDUCATION IS KEY On Monday morning, it was time for some serious Redkenite education as world-class hairstylists were in town to provide the most up-and-coming trends in the industry, from cutting and colour techniques to running a salon business. “The Redken ‘professional edge’ is the unique mix of fashion, science and inspiration,” says Ritcey. “It's designed to elevate the skills, creativity and business of salons.” Many different sessions unfolded all day Monday and Tuesday, as acclaimed stylists such as Chris Baran, Brent Borreson, George Garcia and fellow Canadians Sean Goddard and Stephan Legros took to the stage to share their masterful techniques and creative flair with colour. Business mentoring tips were also presented by Peter Mahoney from Salon Consultants International, who has earned the prestigious Ernst & Young “Entrepreneur of the Year” award.
GLAMOUR AND FUN Since no large industry gathering could be complete without a bit of fun and games thrown in the mix, Fusion 2010 guests were invited to don attire from their favourite Redken decade. Marilyn Monroe-esque dos, disco glitter and sixties jumpsuits overtook Windsor Station, a former train station now home to a spectacular reception hall. Tables were super chic, all set in white and gold, and during dinner guests were entertained by a dozen of Cirque du Soleil’s talented artists who were displaying their most arresting moves in mid-air. After dinner, it was time to get down with Alter Ego, the band who kept churning out hit after hit to the delight of everyone. Next in line for Redkenites will be the Las Vegas symposium in January 2011. Colour certifications will also be organized somewhere near you in Canada before the end of the year. Make sure to check Salon Magazine’s calendar of events. S

air professionals from all over Canada gathered in Montreal from Sept. 12 to 14 to celebrate with Redken’s top world hairstylists and mentors. The event, aptly named Fusion 2010, kicked-off in über-style with a gala at StDenis Theatre on Sunday night showcasing 50 years of fashion, science and inspiration by Ann Mincey, vice president of Global Communications Redken, who has closely contributed to the success of the brand and has received many awards and great honours. The arresting hair and fashion on-stage show was designed by Brent Borreson, Redken global performing artist, and Terry Ritcey, national education director Redken Canada, while Pascal and Jérémie carefully edited the refined fashion vision and Gilles Perron oversaw lighting, a key element to the show, particularly during the ’80s segment with strategically placed black lights and neon colours.

ounded in 2005 by Montreal businesswoman Joelle Adler, ONEXONE has raised over $12 million dollars in just five years with the mission to preserve a basic quality of life for children locally and globally. The non-profit supports initiatives in Canada, the US and around the globe. In January, it was one of the first international missions to touch down in Haiti to provide first-aid and support to a deeply wounded country. (The photo on this page was taken just after the earthquake hit the country.) For the past four years Redken Canada has actively engaged its group of salons to help make a difference in their own backyards. Each year the participation by salons increases, and the commitment to fighting poverty remains steadfast. Cut-a-thons were held this past summer across the country, from Vancouver to Halifax, and a special gala was held at the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival. Think Locally, Act Locally “It’s also possible for salons to spontaneously organize an event throughout the year, and with that purpose in mind, we have even put together

special ONEXONE salon kits that are theirs for the asking,” says Stéphanie Gougoux, marketing director, Redken Canada. “When you consider that even here in Canada one in six children goes hungry, it’s very important to put together these types of initiatives to help the underprivileged.” That’s also why ONEXONE partners with local foundations, so that people know that they are giving a helping hand in their very own neighbourhoods. “Everyone feels deeply touched by children’s hardships,” says Gougoux. This holiday season, Redken is committed to turn over $25,000 to ONEXONE with a special Christmas promotion. Community organizations that partner with ONEXONE across Canada work incessantly to help children in need, providing them with nutritious, quality food and well-balanced meals. All the volunteers are extremely committed to the cause. “Pepsi has also been incredibly generous to us this year. The company provided bottled water and granola bars for all our hairstylists at all cut-a-thons that took place across Canada,” says Gougoux. It’s small actions like these that, when compounded, make a world of difference for children in need. S

Anthony Mascolo talks about his path to success and passions in life By Emily Gravelle
salon52.ca
Q. What has the move from Toni&Guy to international creative director of TIGI been like for you? A. I headed up the Toni&Guy art team and controlled the image direction for many years before TIGI. Rebuilding my team and creating a strong global image for the TIGI brands was a daunting task. I left behind something that I had dedicated my entire life to and it was very hard at first. However, I was totally supported by my wife and my brothers Bruno and Guy. I've grown a strong creative team and developed a new and forceful relationship. Q. What has been one of your most rewarding experiences with TIGI so far? A. My rewarding experiences come from creative opportunity. I’m inspired by great photo shoots and by our global hair shows. This year’s global launch: Cirque de TIGI is one of the greatest shows we’ve ever done. We’ve had standing ovations everywhere for this show and that’s special. You have to work hard to earn respect. Q. What have been the challenges of developing TIGI into a fashionable, edgy, product company? A. We are inspired by all areas of fashion— from couture to catwalk to ‘street’ fashion. We take reference from culture and fashion and use this information to develop our hairstyles. In the past 18 months, working with Unilever and our new global marketing team we have re-launched our Catwalk brand and formed co-creations with fashion designers, particularly Christopher Kane, one of Britain’s greatest young talents. Q. What can we expect to see with TIGI products down the road? A. We will continue to improve the quality of our wash and care offerings, as well as developing high-end nutritive ranges. We want TIGI to be respected as much for its caring and restorative products as it is for its styling and finishing products. Our mission is to create products designed by hairstylists for hairstylists.

Q. How about international trends? What countries or major cities are on the forefront of hair fashion? A. The UK and in particular London is always exciting. British hairdressers are technically of a very high quality, but they are also tasteful, adventurous and inventive. This is linked to London’s fashion and music scene which is always innovative and individual. Having said that there are, of course, hairdressers all over the world that are doing some great work. The key thing, wherever you are is to understand your market, be clued-up with fashion, music, celebrities, and modern culture and to know what your clients actually want to wear. Q. You have experienced such international success. What keeps you living in England? A. I was born in England – my wife is English and my children are being educated in England. I also love London, it’s always the place that inspires me the most. But I travel a lot too, so I am really fortunate. Q. Where do you draw your influences? A. All kinds of places. Often it’s talking to people, chatting through ideas and letting them develop. Q. What inspired your love of photography? A. I got frustrated when I did photo shoots. The photographers often seemed to fail to capture what I wanted. Then my wife bought me a camera and I just had a go! Q. You work quite closely with your wife Pat. What makes your partnership successful on both a personal and professional level? A. Respect, a joint vision and lots and lots of experiences and time spent looking at pictures and discussing ideas and enjoying each other’s company. Q. What advice can you offer to young hairstylists starting out in the business? A. Work hard, be aware of everything around you. Watch, listen, research and learn from everyone. Hairstyling is fantastic fun and has amazing opportunities. So enjoy the ride! S

By Jessica Clark as told to Melissa Brazier
have been a colourist with Suki’s for 14 years, and this salon is well-known for its education, innovation and excellence. It had been quite some time since we had done major competition work, so after a couple of years of me toying with the idea, Ken Takagi agreed to have me lead a team of our staff, and we entered the Contessas. We really did not have a specific theme or title for this collection. That being said, our inspiration was the spring/summer 2009 Dior runway show. Working on the collection for six weeks, I first had the stylist design the hair, then I used colour to bring emphasis to that. For this particular set of images, I used geometric colour placement, foil and balayage techniques. For me, colour is all about design and I need a good foundation to show great colour. Without Kye Pyeon and Guy Labrecque this wouldn’t have been possible. S

in bed, of one cracked heel brushing the leg,” says Kaptur. Callus and skin healing foot massages can be the selling point for your winter pedicures. Another great option for those who love to sport colour on their toes year-round are the new hybrid polishes that require absolutely no drying time such as Shellac and Axxium brands. In other words, you apply it and the feet are ready to get back into those toasty socks and cozy shearling boots immediately without any smudging whatsoever. And there is a beacon of toe-baring light during the winter— pre-booking clients for holiday parties. “The good thing about pedicures is that they last, especially with care and a good base coat and top coat,” says Kaptur. Get them covered for the busy holiday season with an excellent pedicure, and the prospect of summer post-New Year’s Eve might just incite them to keep coming back. S

anadian winters mean wool socks bundled into UGGs and Sorel boots—keeping warm and dry are your clients’ first priorities, not necessarily pedicures. But arid winter air paired with footwear-induced wear-and-tear can mean that winter is even more of a crucial time to encourage your spa guests to get their feet pampered instead of hiding them away. Like the rise in popularity of gel manicures, gel peidcures are the thing to do this season. “Honestly, who wants to risk mashing a beautiful pedicure into socks and boots? And who has time to sit for hours until the polish is dry enough to risk it?” says Elaine Watson, global education director for Star Nail International. Soak Off Color Gels (UV polish) now give the industry a solution to this problem. Once the coats of colour are cured in a UV lamp, they are 100 per cent dry, according to Watson. Roxanne Valinoti, CND nail professional, says Shellac is a musthave service during the cold winter months. “Thanks to the zero dry time, women can say no to flip-flops in the snow and can have their feet toasty warm as soon as they leave the salon,” she says. UV polishes provide endless mirror finish shine from the first day through to the 14th and flawless wear in all types of shoes. Finally, don’t forget to encourage your clients to take proper care of their feet during the harsh winter months. “The most important thing to do is to get your clients on a foot care regime before winter starts,” explains Rita Kaptur, esthetician at Hair on the Avenue’s Le Petit Spa in Toronto. “That way when they come in during the winter it’s not difficult to get them to take off their boots.” It’s also difficult to upsell a pedicure when you can’t see client’s feet, says Kaptur. Getting back into boots and potentially smudging polish doesn’t have to happen if you skip the polish altogether and focus on foot care. “I like to exfoliate feet and apply lots of cuticle oil,” says Kaptur. This prevents “little hanging bits” from growing, she adds—it also ensures feet stay hydrated while encased in boots. “There’s nothing worse than that scraping feeling, when you’re

E
nchanting, timeless and authentic are just some of the words to describe CHI, The Spa in Bangkok nestled in Thailand’s Shangri-La Hotel. With subtle music among the flicker and glow of candles lit everywhere, its design is reminiscent of a temple-like atmosphere. Opened in 2004, it is the first signature brand spa for the Shangri-La Hotel group. Today, there are 68 hotels in the world and 19 have a CHI spa. In 2012, the highly anticipated Shangri-La Hotel will open in Toronto, welcoming spa lovers to experience CHI. Vikki Aquino, the area director of Spa for Thailand, says the unique characteristic about CHI is the abundant space. “It is a spa within a spa because all 12 suites come complete with an infinity bath with colour therapy, herbal steam and shower, and relaxation lounge.” Located on two floors in the hotel, the main entrance is welcoming and warm with soothing hues of brown, orange and red. On the gold painted ceiling, an embedded light gives off a dreamy shimmer. Throughout the spa, what seems like décor pieces are meaningful accents with interesting historical significance. Aquino says, “Apart from the luxurious size of our suites, most first-time North American clients are amazed with the treatment rituals and the richness of the services.” Aquino also reveals how surprisingly accurate CHI’s signature therapies are based on the “Five Elements Theory,” in which metal, water, wood, fire and earth are in balance to harmonize the positive Yang and negative Yin energy. The water treatment rooms are warm, embracing and comforting. The brick wall is a feature design of the spa. “It gives the feeling of serenity and gentle power,” says Aquino. The tub (2.2 metres in length, 1.5 metres in width) is made of natural stone.

Curly Hair Solutions Launches Extenzz Beauty industry professionals and media gathered at the Spoke Club in Toronto on Sept. 23 to see the unveiling of Jonathan Torch’s latest innovative stying product called Extenzz. The event was hosted by Torch himself, Vocab Communications and special guest model, Jacqui Skeete from Cosmo TV. Extenzz is a non-chemical product that relaxes curls and prevents them from shrinking. By using the correct combing and styling techniques, Extenzz allows users to manipulate their curls into looser, welldefined, frizz-free curls without the look and feel of heavy oils. “Over the years I’ve had a variety of clients, from all different ethnic groups, come into The Curly Hair Institute looking for natural, non-chemical ways to relax their textured hair. After speaking with many people in the curly hair community, I began to develop a product that would fit their hair needs, no matter what their age or ethnic background,” said Torch, creator of Extenzz.

Local B Team Creates Latest Collection Montreal’s local B hosted a soirée to debut their latest hair collection Cameo on Sept. 21. Focusing on the versatility longer hair affords, local B co-owner Véronique Beaupré and her team of stylists’ newest offering is all about experimentation with length. A highlight of the Cameo collection concept is the specialized colour techniques, which lean toward warm shades of caramel, chestnut and copper.

walking around wearing blinders. In those days hair shows were less about technology and more about hair. I can appreciate the entertainment value of all the technology used at hair shows nowadays, but what really excites me is how technology is being used for education. All the great hairdressers from across the world have educational DVDs. And all you need is a computer to access some incredible online educational tools and sites. I highly recommend Vivienne Mackinder’s amazing HairdesignerTV. com as a must for anyone who wants to become a great hairdresser. Hairdressers Journal launched its website HJi.co.uk in 2007, and I’m also a fan of myhairdressers.com and Canada’s Scissorboy.com. Not only do these and other sites provide, at the click of a mouse, teaching videos and thousands of pictures of hairstyles for inspiration, they also have relevant blogs for networking and promoting yourself, as well as invaluable business advice. And in case you’re not inclined to take advantage of all this international education, heed the words of a man who knows a thing or two about world-class success… Donald Trump. “Watch, listen, and learn. You can’t know it all yourself… anyone who thinks they do is destined for mediocrity.” S

anuary 1978, 10:30 a.m. Upstairs at 1060 Yonge St., the home of the Rainbow Room, waiting for the postman to deliver the international hair magazines. In October 1977, I had sent out my first international press release since opening my new salon. Back then, the premier hair magazines were the U.K.’s Hairdressers Journal (in circulation now for an astounding 125 years); Italy’s Estetica (started in 1946); and Spain’s Peluquerias (started in 1969; the international edition’s now called Hair Styles). I ’d g o n e t h r o u g h t h e o b l i g a t o r y t h r e e m o n t h s wa i t i n g period. Now I was on tenterhooks, hoping I’d made it into any of the publications. Finally, the magazines arrived, and I was thrilled to see I had coverage in Hairdressers Journal, and a photograph of a bright red bob in Estetica. It felt tremendous to see myself in the company of top hairdressers from across the world. Currently there are dozens of international hair magazines to tempt your eyes and your skills. And with the explosion of the Internet, the whole international scene has gone off the charts. Even so, nothing can top the joys of attending a live international hairdressing show. Starting in 1975, I counted myself lucky to attend the Hairdressers Journal Show in London, England, every year. And of course shows are also held in many other countries. Here you can see the great hairdressing teams battling it out in unofficial competition with each other. It’s great stuff to get the creative juices flowing. I have fond memories of the ‘70s and ‘80s of watching and learning from Trevor Sorbie, Toni&Guy, the Sassoon team and Irving and Rita Rusk from Scotland. So impressed was I by Trevor Sorbie, I paid for his first trip to Canada out of my own pocket, in the late ‘70s. My staff at the Rainbow Room saw him for free, and I worked hard to cover my expenses by finding 60 people to pay to see Trevor in a room at the back of a restaurant and nightclub on Toronto’s Queen Street West. It was well worth it. Education always is. If you don’t learn it’s like
