When it comes to the holiday season, your salon is likely a hub of constant activity. Rowena Berry, national business development manager for Schwarzkopf Professional, has plenty of tricks that will keep your business in full swing well into the new year.

For the sixth year in a row, Revlon Professional is ready to empower and inspire creative hairstylists with its call to enter the 2016 Style Masters international competition.

Submit your black and white photo collection featuring three different looks with one cut on one model using products from the Revlon Professional Style Masters line.

holiday rush has died down?

There is definitely a rush at this time of year. Pre-book your current clients, either at their previous appointments or by contacting them at least two weeks in advance. This will help ensure that you have the time set aside for them rather than having your schedule taken up by non-regular clients, including walk-ins.

How can hairstylists keep their appointments moving on schedule at this time of year when it may be easier to get off track?

Remaining on time with your clients is key. It’s easy to be very casual and conversational with clients, especially when you have a rapport with them, but remember that this can be a stressful time of year for them and their time is precious. If you do fall behind, be proactive by letting reception know the situation—that way they can manage the process the moment your next client walks in.

How do you get your clients to feel like royalty when they step into your salon? Use products on them that are befitting of royalty, of course.

makeup BAG OF TRICKS Whether your client wants that go-to smoky eye or a pretty pink pout, we’ve got some of the best beauty launches to help them (and you) get through the holiday season of party-ready makeup.

SWIPE RIGHT Bodyography’s go-to Electric Lip Slides lip glosses, like this perfectly rosy Tickled Pink shade, are now available in a compact on-the-go format your clients will want.

MINTY FRESH Aveda’s Nourish-Mint Smoothing Lip Color is already a beauty fave, but mix in the dark and moody Blackberry shade for the fall and holiday season and you have a winner. It's great for those clients who are willing to step out of their comfort zone just a bit and go for a bold, bold lip.

SMOKE SHOW This season, the smoky eye is being paired with white liner and highlighting to give clients that wide-eyed appeal. SST Cosmetics Power Stay Highlighting Stick in Glisten and Power Stay Shadow Stick in Plank are two must-haves to achieve this look with the creamy, blendable formula.

ALL EYES ON ME Part of the Jewel Thief collection for the holidays, Mirabella Second Skin Eyeshadow in Lavender Larceny adds colour and dimension to your client’s finished look. The mineralbased formula allows you to build as much colour as your clients crave, without creasing or flaking.

HIGH BROW Even when your clients aren’t coming to you to get their makeup done, they can still achieve the perfect faceframing brow. Mirabella The Brow Pencil allows you and your clients to draw on small, hair-like strokes with one end and then blend them in with the brush on the other.

Three ways in salon tanning services will boost your esthetics menu.

In the deep, dark cold of winter, it’s only natural that we’re missing our sun-kissed skin. Even still, many clients may not realize that sunless tanning isn’t only a healthier option, it’s one that has evolved past that iconic episode of Friends. According to Uvalux vice president of sales Elaine Bridgett, the main reason for that glowing orange hue of the mid-90s was the quality of the solution. “They were likely using less expensive products, and products that have an orange-yellow tone rather than the red-brown found in today’s sunless tanning solutions.” Whether they’re heading on vacation, planning a special occasion or simply crave a break from the cold, here’s how tanning can help you add extra revenue in the cold, dark days of January.

tech talk These days, even boutique salons can offer tanning services by investing in the right equipment. For most salons, Bridgett recommends a hands-off unit that offers the flexibility, so that you don’t have to hire extra staff, making it easy to maximize the return on your investment. That said, a hand held unit allows you to customize tans, however, you’ll need someone who is trained and skilled in application. This might be a great option at salons service during off peak hours.

on the upselling While it may not be top of mind for everyone, the colder weather season is the perfect time to talk tanning. Bridgett recommends offering monthly packages as a way of encouraging repeat clients.

Depending on your client base, Bridgett suggest pairing tanning services with manicures, pedicures or other esthetics, as an alternate way of encouraging a second visit. Ladonna Sheridan, national sales manager of Fake Bake, says that planning services that encourage two visits before a special occasion or vacation will allow clients to get accustomed to the results, and in most cases that alone will have them returning.

retailing opportunities For clients who seem hesitant but interested, Bridgett suggests offering a free service. “Units today have the option of spraying the legs or face, which enables your client to see how far sunless spray tanning has evolved,” she says. Maintaining the look of their tan beyond the salon is also important and both Ladonna and Bridgett say that moisturizing is key, because hydrated skin will retain the tan best, which makes retailing both oil-free and dry oil spray products the homecare options your clients really need post tan.

THE PENDULUM SWINGS BACK “I think the desire for darker hair started to emerge when most clients grew bored with cotton candy hair and pastels became more and more popular in the last year,” says Alex Chabot, artistic director for Matrix Canada.

From a marketing standpoint, the cycle of trends is usually quite predictable. Once a hot and exciting look starts to trickle down to the masses, it’s time to move on to something totally new and desirable for the glitterati to endorse, own and show off.

THE PERFECT BLEND But make no mistake: The newest on-trend crop of blacks isn’t an all-over colour application or a levelone shade. For this look to really make your name take off and your clients take notice, “You need to mix in different hues to create a multi-dimensional shade,” cautions Guylaine Marel, Contessa 2014 Elite Master Hairstylist winner. “If you only apply one very dark shade all over, the hair will end up looking like a wig or, worse, the old-school ’80s blue-black variety.”

So you might want to use an ombré or a balayage technique to go darker and create beautiful darker lowlights of purple, mauve or emerald on an espresso-coloured base.

Vadre Grigsby, artistic colour director for Pravana, has created some stunning ombré darkjewel-toned locks by adding new Vivids Black to her colour formulas. “With the new Pravana Vivids Black, I was able to create multiple shades of smoky grays, crisp carbons, deep shadowy violets and muted lavenders.

There are plenty of ways to give your clients a touch of glamour, without breaking their budget while still maximizing your salon’s profits.

etween office parties and holiday events, your clients are looking to glam up their look. Whether it’s to refresh their colour, recreate a classic chignon with a twist

or add extra volume to their locks, all of their heads will turn to you for your professional expertise. Here’s how you can customize your client’s hairstyle and boost your earnings by creating glamorous holiday looks.

According to Erin Montgomery, community manager for The Ten Spot in Toronto, the demand for glam during the busy holiday season is one of the reasons the company partnered with the Hudson's Bay Company to offer quick hairstyles and blowouts in a convenient location, in the heart of Toronto’s fashion and financial district. “The styles take 20 minutes, so if you have a lunch meeting, a date or an office party, you can refresh your look, even if you’re short on time,” she explains. Because each look takes less than half an hour, you’re able to accommodate more clients, which boosts your revenue without clients breaking their budget.

STYLE M ATTE R S Creating an upstyling menu during the holiday season is a terrific opportunity for hairstylists to offer clients a choice when they are asking about upcoming events. This way, clients can choose their look and know they’ll be well coiffed without having to spend a lot of time (or money) in the salon.

Keep Your

Business Booming Boost your revenue with added services that your clients are craving in order to show off a glammed-up look straight into the new year. Here’s the rundown on how you can give your salon a healthy boost right now!

By Yasmin Grothé

Marketing experts say consumers tend to be a bit more relaxed in terms of spending when end-of-year festivities are right around the corner. In fact, we all indulge in a little gingerbread latte here and maybe a pair of glitzy shoes that caught our eye while shopping for the kids over there. And just like you, your client is now open to treat herself to a few little extras. But, like everything else, it’s all about presentation.

According to Ramsey Sayah, owner of Texture Hair Salon in Ottawa, which boasts a booming business, “You have to be cautious about upselling services and products to clients. It always depends on their personality and what they really want in the end. You shouldn’t try to go over the 30-dollar mark in extra services. Little perks that are 10, 15 or 20 dollars work well. Anything higher and you will be perceived as greedy. And you certainly don’t want that if your aim is to continue to work with a stable, trustworthy clientele.”

If offering extras traditionally takes place during the consultation, some brands and salons are now experimenting with the idea of including them as the client is moved along from one service to the next (sinkside, technical, styling).

“The idea is to sell a look instead of individual services in order to boost your

of how you can customize the experience for her,” says Stéphan W., a Montreal-based hairstylist. “And you always have to aim to offer a premium service, even if you think you already know what she wants or not.

Sometimes a long, relaxing sinkside massage is great, but it’s even better if she can see the results on her hair immediately.”

That’s exactly where a service like Malibu C fits in. What’s great about Malibu C is that every single client can benefit from it because we all have mineral buildup, which dulls colour or makes hair look lifeless. Even better, “The vegan ingredients in the product bring the health factor into the equation, which is something more and more women are looking for,” stresses Stéphan W. “Having beautiful healthy hair really has no price.”

Upsell the smart way

Dish out the details Claudia Iacono, owner of Salon Deauville in Montreal, has a sharp mind for business and does not hesitate to go well beyond the regular salon offerings to make sure her clients feel pampered, like the Porsche driver service. “It’s actually my car and my husband is the driver,” she explains, “But our clients love it! It makes it easier for them to come to the salon and they don’t need to worry about taking taxis for about the same price but with a whole lot more style!” Jewelry retailing is another luxe aspect of her salon and Iacono replenishes her accessories section every two to three weeks, “to keep the selection fresh and exciting, in tune with the calendar.”

Ongoing communication with your clients is also important. “Always reach out to clients to remind them they should book an appointment,” says Sayah. “We send out newsletters and texts every six months if they haven’t come to the salon. Once you’re in our system, we never let you go!”

It’s a win-win.”

ON INSPIRATION My ideas come from many places, art and photography. There’s a lot of research in other countries and drawing inspiration from something that might catch my eye, like the texture or colour in a photo. I love when you feel the mood of a photo.

BEHIND THE SCENES

ON-SET SOLUTION Trust your gut instinct.

Sometimes the direction can come from a photographer or creative designer if it isn’t reaching his or her vision. You have to be very flexible when doing editorial work.

Cover Shoot Confidential

By Anna Lee Boschetto Salon Magazine spoke with Moroccanoil’s educator and spokesperson, Kevin Hughes, for his inspiration, troubleshooting on set and top essentials for creating winning looks.

PRO PICKS A must for editorial work is a good hairspray, like Luminous Hairspray, that won’t flake or leave any residue. The new extrastrong formula brushes out easily and can be used for many looks, including curls, slicked hair and adding texture. You are changing hair so often during an editorial shoot, you can’t have any flakes show up in the hair. S

ON HOLIDAYS I am originally from New York, and, for me, the most important thing is to be with family, so I am always home with family over the holidays. Oh, that and food!

CHANGE MAKER When there are people on set waiting on you, you have to be able to change the hair quickly.The key part is spending time in the morning with the most time-consuming look and then building that around the rest of the day. For instance, if you were going to do a wet look, you would always try to keep that for the last shot.

NOW TRENDING For fashion, it’s definitely centre parting, soft and natural hair and adding a bit of polish. You’ll also see a trend in sleek, shiny hair, as well as one for an intricate graphic ponytail.

SALON PROFILE

Getting Schooled After 50 years in the industry, Australian hairstylist Sharon Blain is still learning more and always refining her craft.

idea what I did for a living,” says

Sharon Blain with a laugh. With her siblings in attendance, when she was was honoured with a presentation that included words from fellow hairstyling legend Vivienne Mackinder at the 2015 Hair Expo Australia, there was no mistaking the significant role their sister has had on the professional hair and beauty industry.

Salon Magazine: Why is that many people don’t see the industry as the creative one it is?

Sharon Blain: At the end of the day, many people don’t see hairdressers as anything more than hairdressers. I challenge myself to defy the odds and do something with hair that takes on a different medium. I look at the craft and am always thinking about what I can do with fabric or paper, and that often turns to hair.

SM: So how does this transformation that’s an art form happen for you with a collection?

SB: For the infinity collection, we started to create the looks with hair and used spray glue; then we cut and moulded the hair as we wanted it to be. I worked on it for six months before finally shooting it. It’s like an artist with a canvas and paints. It’s creating an image like an art form. It’s not to be worn but rather

SM: Who inspires your work these days?

SB: Vivienne Mackinder, for sure. Angelo Seminara does a lot of interesting pieces. And definitely Antoinette Beenders—I’ve always thought she does some incredible work. For me, the late Alexandre de Paris identified classic work in his purest form. If you went to his academy today, you would be learning the sleekest work.

SM: How do you begin planning a collection and where do you take your initial ideas?

SB: For me, Pinterest is a big thing. I spend 30 minutes each day and see what I like on different sides, especially when I’m about to work on a new project. Also, I take inspiration from fashion. I can’t create a collection until I know what they are wearing. And I always need Italian Vogue.

SM: How did you evolve from a hairstylist to an educator?

SB: In my early years, I was a competitive hairstylist, so I learned a lot. These classic skills really crossed over into everyday work in a salon. As the years went on, I thought, if I can train people in these skills, they can do anything. After 43 boot camps, we are constantly looking at how we can change each one to make it better.

SM: Why did you focus on upstyling?

SB: There was a gap in the market for hairdressing. I could always relate to those skills of setting, teasing and blow-drying because that was what we did in the salon every day. I learned those skills very early on and I realized that I could take elements from that and show how to do things more simply. It’s really a no-brainer; it’s all about breaking down a style, one section at a time, and creating a plan.

You can’t simply go on a prayer and a hope. I even see non-hairdressers coming to our classes—for instance, creative people or makeup artists who realize that it’s helpful to have these skills when you’re on set.

SM: How have celebrities helped to shape the industry?

SB: It has challenged hairstylists to learn different looks—I think that’s why our classes are so popular.

Clients identify with certain people who have really rocked a look, like Jennifer Lopez and Gwen Stefani.

I think we’ve done the whole flat ironed look and there has been nothing really going on. I love how all people like Kelly Osbourne even. They have done a lot for our industry.

Post-Industrial Mood The concept of the post-industrial design of this award-winning Montreal salon, Narcisse & Echo, is a modern interpretation of the Greek myth of Echo and Narcissus.

o-owners Line Lebrun and Roxane Cheibes have been working alongside for over 20 years and have been business partners for 11. Both have a

flourishing client base but play different roles in the salon.

Cheibes is more involved in managing the floor staff and Line takes care of running the business smoothly and efficiently.

But key decisions are always made as a close-knit team.

The architect they worked with to create the salon’s new image loved their idea of timeless decor and he suggested simple and sturdy materials with a raw edge and minimal transformation, such as stainless steel, wood and the extremely long velvet curtains that hang from the 20-footplus ceiling. They not only add a regal, sensuous touch to the sparse space but also help muffle sound. “Our clients always receive a long, relaxing sinkside massage, so we needed to create a tranquil, calming environment,” says Cheibes.

TIMELESS DECOR The salon, which is located in a university neighbourhood, has a contemporary art gallery vibe. “We love this space because it’s quite versatile and very easy to transform into a class or a photo shoot set-up; it’s more of a work studio than a traditional salon,” says Cheibes.

A SPACE FOR ART And even if they have less time than before to attend education events since opening their salon, Cheibes and Lebrun make sure they are always surrounded by creative types who love working in this serene yet inspiring environment.

SALON BUSINESS

Ahead of Schedule How do some salons staff and schedule their services during the busy holiday season and into the slow January slump? We’ve got the pros and cons of each so you can make the right decision for your salon.

Cancellation Policies PRO: While most salons don’t often need to exercise their cancellation policies with regular and devout clients, they’re a necessary evil during peak times. As Timothy Kuo, co-owner of Salon Haze in Vancouver, explains, “The salon has a 48-hour cancellation policy for services that are two hours or more. We inform clients of this policy and take down within that time or are a ‘no-show,’ we charge them $100.” Kuo adds that it helps “weed out clients who aren’t serious about their appointments.”
