First in Hair Technology and Innovation What makes a SALON PROFESSIONAL want to become a GREAT LENGTHS® HAIR EXTENSION ARTIST? Why are GREAT LENGTHS® ARTISTS beaming with pride?

What drives their PASSION? What fuels their LOYALTY?

First and foremost, it is “The unparalleled quality of the hair”.

Only Great Lengths® can produce these stunning results. That’s because Great Lengths® uses only 100 percent, virgin-quality human hair that has never been chemically treated. All cuticle layers face the same direction, ensuring they will not tangle or become brittle like other extensions. And Great Lengths’ hair is depigmentized from the inside out – not bleached – so it can be coloured to blend in perfectly without ever compromising its structure and maintaining the finest quality.

Colourful Buzz

PHOTO BABAK

riting this issue’s feature story on colouring textured hair has been a great education for me.

Talking with Danyelle Bachand and Christos Cox, as well as others, I’ve learned the many challenges and tips to the intricacies of colouring textured hair in all its forms.

If you’re a colourist, or just a cutter, it’s good to understand some of the challenges a colourist goes through, and you should check out the story on page 50.

In this issue, we profile former Contessa 2002 Makeover Colourist of the Year winner Roch Lemay. Lemay took over the reins as the new director of education and events for Matrix Canada a few months ago.

He has a very interesting take on colour, and the energy it evokes.

With his expertise and personality, he’s sure to bring a positive influence to his new professional adventure. Check out his story on page 80.

Visually, the newest Essential Looks collection from Schwarzkopf has just hit, and we give you a peak in our features section, as well as at L’Oréal Professionnel’s new thriller collection.

I am writing this letter on August 12—the Contessa 20 entry deadline. The in-office excitement and buzz on this day is always so great. We get tons of last-minute phone calls, and many local entrants drop off their packages, which adds to the thrill. Lucky for us in the editorial department, everyone in the office jumps in to help receive and process the packages. We move into the judging process in a week’s time and then the buzz of who will be the winners really begins. See the semi-finalists on page 78.

Recently, when I chatted with our panellists for the 2nd Annual Contessa Unplugged discussion, I counted that, between them, they had 74 years, 11 months, 12 days, and eight hours of industry experience. They gave me some wonderful quotes on creativity, some of which I have incorporated into the story on Contessa Weekend, which takes place on November 2 and 3. Check out their thoughts on page 28. And then call Candice at 416.869.3131, ext. 108 to book your tickets.

his year Contessa is having a big anniversary—20 years old! As I’ve pondered this milestone by poring over old photos and back issues of Salon Magazine, it’s truly been a trip down memory lane. I really got to reminiscing when Stephen, our editor-in-chief, asked me how many Contessas I’ve attended and what it was like way back in the day.

I’ve probably attended the awards most years. In the early days as a guest, I soaked up the fun-filled gala night. It was great to see everyone dressed up for the big schmooze-fest. You knew you were rubbing shoulders with some of the industry’s most talented. Who wouldn’t love that? The event was so much smaller then, and the idea of photo-based awards was still quite novel. Even the British Hairdresser of the Year Awards were only three years old in 1988.

I had been working at Salon Magazine a short time when in 1996, the opportunity to buy the Contessas was presented to our company. We quickly recognized it as a fantastic fit. However, I’ll admit we were a little daunted by the responsibility. After three years of our team producing the Contessas, they quickly grew to one of the world’s largest, and mostcoveted awards competitions. And little did we know that many Contessa entrants would go on to win other international photography-based and live competitions.

Looking back, there’ve been so many great moments and fond memories. Like in 1998, when a Newfoundland couple were so touched by our Contessa-SOS (Save Our Salons Fund) that they immediately wrote a substantial cheque to the fund. Finalists who brought parents to the gala hoping they would witness their big win have been so touching. I don’t remember a more excitable Salon Team win than Private Lines Salon in 1997. Another favourite moment was when Cam Patey, from the Hair Factory at the time, profusely thanked everyone—even all the Contessa dancers wearing thongs. I could go on for hours.

How time has flown. I’ve often said the Contessas have a life of their own. We’re so grateful for the opportunity to produce the awards. Why not get your party dress on and come celebrate 20 years of Canada’s finest beauty pros on Sunday, November 2 in Toronto.

Violet Light Matrix expands SOCOLOR and Color Sync lines for fall 2008

w w w. s a lo n 5 2 . c a

hen a market giant like Matrix releases 10 new icyplum-laced shades, you know there’s a major violettone trend out there.

Moonlight Smoke, a five-shade range in the Matrix SOCOLOR permanent colour line, and Sheer Pastel, five demi-permanent shades in the Color Sync line, both include cool-purple undertones that control or enhance base hues.

“The Moonlight Smoke AV series is formulated to control the underlying pigment of the hair when creating cool brunettes and icy blondes,” explains Roch Lemay, director of education and events for Matrix Canada. “So when a colourist wants to avoid tones like orange or yellow-orange, he or she can use this series to neutralize them.”

Although the line is just hitting salons this month, complementing demi-permanent colours are already available in the Color Sync line. “Color Sync’s V series can be used to refresh hair that’s been previously coloured with the new AV line—like when a client comes in to get her regrowth done and mid-length to ends only require refreshing,” says Lemay.

Formulated with a reduced colour deposit, Matrix’s other colour offering for fall 08 is the new Color Sync Sheer Pastel series, shades designed to create that subtle lavender-over-blonde look. Ideal for toning the lightest levels of blonde, the Sheer Pastel collection works best when used with Matrix V-Light De-Dusted lightener or with level 10+ SOCOLOR shades.

“It’s a line stylists would use to control underlying pigment at a level 10. The end result is a cool pastel or transparent blonde,” states Lemay, adding that stylists should be careful using Sheer Pastel on over-porous hair, as colour may over-deposit. “Still, it’s an easy series to formulate, mix and apply,” he adds.

All of Matrix’s new colours include the brand’s protective conditioning complex. For more info, go to www.matrixbeautiful.com or www.salon52.ca.—MA

While writing No-Compromise Leadership, due out this month, Neil Ducoff, founder and CEO of Strategies, found his own business at a crossroads. As a result, he took a three-month sabbatical to rethink his goals and intentions. He then began re-engineering not only his company, but also himself as a leader. No-Compromise Leadership came to life—literally.

“Strategies became a new and highly invigorated company. I awakened the No-Compromise Leader within me and, almost instantly, amazing things started to happen. New business flowed, and new ideas and shared responsibility created incredible lift. Everyone felt it. NoCompromise Leadership was the difference—and it began with me.”

Creatively Speaking

G

Contessa weekend has it all

et ready for a fantastic celebration of creativity this November 2 and 3 in Toronto. The Contessas— The Canadian Hairstylist of the Year Awards—are marking a major milestone with its 20th Anniversary. On Sunday, we take a look back at the past 20 years and take a glimpse into the future as we celebrate the 2009 Contessa winners.

After the celebrations, the tears and the emotional rollercoaster of handing out the hardware, we have Contessa Unplugged on Monday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Berkeley Church. The success of last year’s session continues and this time we're having a discussion on creativity.

This year’s stellar panelists—Vivienne Mackinder, Damien Carney and Edwin Johnston—are no strangers to the creative process. Here are some of their thoughts on creativity.

“The person who follows the crowd will usually go no further than the crowd. The person who walks alone will usually go to places that no one has ever been before.

And so it is with creativity.

Where would you like to go?”

—Vivienne Mackinder

“You can have all the storyboards, images, ideas, etc. But they’re someone else’s ideas and vision—not yours. You have to make your own. Make your statement. Vision and ideas rarely come from one person—they are usually a team effort. But it will only take one person to make the vision a reality.”

—Damien Carney

“I get a lot of my ideas when I run. I began doing it about five years ago and recently have become very serious about it—to the point that I’ll be competing in the Boston Marathon in the spring of 2009. When I run, it allows my imagination to be free. I’ve developed many great ideas running down the beach or along a trail. Body fitness, mind relaxation and nutrition all allow for greater creativity.”

—Edwin Johnston

For full bios of this year’s panel, go to www.salon52.ca. Call 416.869.3131, ext 108 and inquire about combo-ticket deals.—SP

Dermalogica introduces a health-minded line for men’s faces

N

ot all male clients are created equal—nor is their skin. Contrary to popular belief, not all men have tough skin. They may exude a tough exterior—the macho man—but many have very sensitive skin that needs a different approach when it comes to shaving. There are even men who cannot shave daily, only every second day. I should know—I was one of them for years.

Embracing the notion that male skin is not necessarily macho skin, Dermalogica—professional skin care specialists—introduces the new Shave System, a three-step approach to preparing the skin for the blade and keeping skin balanced and soothed following the shave. “We’ve created a health-minded regimen that delivers a velvetsmooth shave, and even intercepts skin problems including breakouts, ingrown hairs and signs of aging in the process,” says Jane Wurwand, founder of Dermalogica.

Dermalogica Shave System introduces six new products, as well as updates to a few of the brand’s classics, to create a full complement of shaving essentials for any skin condition.

STEP 1: Pre-Shave Clean Bar The performance of a Dermalogica cleanser in a convenient bar form. The soap-free, non-irritating Clean Bar removes excess oils and debris without stripping skin’s natural moisture barrier. Tea tree

and an anti-microbial complex of botanicals purify skin while anti-inflammatory agents soothe and condition. Suits all skin conditions.

Daily Clean Scrub This new, two-in-one product simultaneously cleanses and exfoliates. The lightly foaming, skinrejuvenating formula helps remove dulling skin cells to keep pores clear and minimize ingrown hairs while lifting the beard for a closer, cleaner shave.

Pre-Shave Guard This new protective product prepares skin for shaving by softening the beard in order to minimize razor bumps and ingrown hairs. Clove flower oil, a naturally stimulating essential oil, helps open pores and soften the beard while soothing skin against the discomfort associated with razor burn.

Great for tough beards.

STEP 2: Shave Soothing Shave Cream This new, ultra-calming, anti-inflammatory shave cream conditions the skin, reducing irritation and redness associated with shaving, while also eliminating acne-causing bacteria. For all skin conditions, especially dry and sensitized skin. Jojoba seed oil and shea butter soften and condition.

Invigorating Shave Gel He gets a “barber-close” shave with this new,

multi-use, oil-free shaving aid that infuses skin with antioxidants, which helps delay signs of aging.

The colourless formula allows the client to clearly see the area being shaved. Great for all skin types, but especially oily.

Close Shave Oil Create an instant cushion between the skin and razor with this ultra-smooth shaving oil for an extra close shave without nicks, cuts or redness. Close Shave Oil allows him to receive a precise shave.

Good for all skin types.

STEP 3: Post-Shave Post-Shave Balm This new treatment balm not only reduces discomfort, irritation and redness, but also prevents ingrown hairs and impacted follicles. The lightweight, oil-free, intensely moisturizing balm helps shorten post-shave recovery time. Good for all skin conditions, especially oily and those prone to ingrown hairs and sensitivity.

Daily Defense Block SPF15 This new lightweight, daytime moisturizer promotes recovery of the skin’s natural protective barrier after shaving. Provides essential protection against UVB radiation, which may cause skin cancer.

he latest endangered species to find a home on the runway isn’t originally from the great outdoors.

This season, Canada’s male-dominated designers paid major homage to a dying urban breed: the well-mannered, well-coiffed and well-dressed gentleman. Slim-fitting suits, V-neck sweaters and even bright bow ties were complemented by slick, side-parted hair at Philip Sparks. Bustle gave a mobster-like edge to its army of suitwearing boys with dark navy-blue-to-black textiles, while Rudsak’s signature leather pieces were styled with a puritan punch. Even youthoriented label GSUS gave a wink to the good old boys with its take on cardigans and collared shirts. So will the clothes make the gentleman this fall/winter season? Perhaps not, but a welltailored suit and a sharp pair of shoes can certainly have an influence. S

require special consideration from the colourist. From colouring naturally textured hair, for the woman with

the massive head of curls, to working with re-texturized African American hair, the experienced beauty pro wants to keep the hair at its healthiest while achieving the desired look.

So what do you need to take into account to ensure your curly colour clients keep coming back? Here, we take a look at several colour and texture conundrums and tell you what you need to know to keep your clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s colour at its best.

of the hair. I know there are lots of clients who will want to go further, but it is up to the stylist to educate them that maintaining healthy hair is key.”

highlighting naturally Curly hair

“Colouring a massive head of curly hair is not as complicated as some stylists seem to think,” says Danyelle Bachand, creative director for ISO, a brand specializing in texture that also offers a colour line. “One thing to remember is that since curly hair, especially dense curly hair, absorbs light more than straight hair, which reflects light, it always seems darker in tone. With this in mind, a stylist should suggest a lighter shade to this type of client.

“The best result is achieved when you apply a lighter shade at the base on the first third of the length and gradually go darker on the mid-section and ends. That way, it absorbs the visual density of the overall shape and the hair doesn’t look as big or dense. This should not be confused with a client who has normal density texture, when you would go darker at the base area by two to three shades to create a strong background for the curls to show more contrast.”

Clients looking to go five levels lighter than their natural colour are another major challenge for stylists. Bachand suggests, “The lift levels should be chosen according to the natural colour and the density of pigments in the natural colour of the hair. They vary from client to client but not necessarily because of the hair texture. Staying within two to three levels of the client’s natural colour will give the best results while maintaining the integrity

w w w. s a lo n 5 2 . c a

Colouring permed hair With a perm, you are now talking about a double chemical process and Bachand says it’s vital to look at the needs of each client individually. “There is no one rule for all. First of all, you always test the capacity of the hair to handle a double chemical process. For success, the hair requires a lower level of porosity and a high level of elasticity. A high level of porosity will cause the hair to lose the colour because the cuticle opens wider. It will not keep the added pigments nor will it keep its new added shape or texture.

“Elasticity is a must to give the appearance of natural texture.

A chemical texture added on hair with less than 20 per cent elasticity will challenge both the stylist and the client in the finishing of the hair. The hair will not hold its new movement and will tend to collapse. As long as those two elements are taken into consideration, there are no limits to creativity!”

Colouring before or after perming? When it comes to proper technique for colouring and perming on one client, there are many schools of thought—especially in today’s technology-

t

Colouring naturally Curly hair

When it comes to highlighting densely textured hair, Bachand has some advice—especially if the base is a level 2 to 3. “Extreme highlights (6 to 8 levels of lift) are a little more difficult to wear on dense/curly hair because the end result tends to look frizzy.

Secondly, with such a huge contrast in levels, the highlights can look like worms.” Bachand suggests staying with a solid colour with this type of client, or going with a very subtle change in the colour tone when she wants hightlights.

When the client wants to go for a bold impact on dense curly hair, Bachand suggests going for colour curl placement. She says,“Take the complete curl (instead of small highlights) and colour them separately with a different tone or shade. That way you won’t end up with a fragment of the curl that can look like she has grey hair instead of a highlight.”

In the instance of working with redheads, Bachand says the issues are the same except “red tends to contain a strong yellow base so we should always be aware of that prior to colouring a lighter shade or highlighting the hair. Lowlights work best on red hair because they add dimension to the overall style.”

HigHligHting permed Hair As mentioned before, highlighting a chemical texture is not a problem—the key is in education. “If you are well-trained on both colour and chemical texture, you will know your limits and work accordingly. If you are just starting to offer these two services together, keep within your comfort zone and always work on a maximum of three levels of lift. Keeping the integrity of the hair while showing off the beautiful perm is more important for your client.”

Keeping tHe integrity of tHe Hair Again, a good consultation, that includes checking for porosity and elasticity is integral.

It’s also important to not allow your chemical process to run overtime, a common mistake when working with hair previously exposed to chemical services.

“Chemical services are achieved in less time on previously chemically treated hair than on natural hair,” notes Bachand.

“Hair should always be tested. Once the desired result is achieved, you should rinse immediately.”

As for the maximum amount of lift a colourist should try, Bachand suggests keeping it within three levels. “A full head of hair may contain various degrees of porosity, which can create challenges.” In order to assure a harmonious look, it’s best to keep it simple and not over-lift the hair.

52

aftercare Double-processed hair will always require more care. Again, with today’s technology, the professional shampoos and conditioners developed for this market segment are your best suggestion to your clients. Bachand recommends ISO’s TAMER, BOUNCY or HYDRA Lines depending on the specific needs. “The TAMER or BOUNCY lines are for naturally curly hair, while the HYDRA line restores moisture to double processed hair. A deep treatment is also recommended every seven shampoos for clients with double-processed hair.”

colouring african american Hair Christos Cox, owner of Toronto’s Urban Textures salons, has been working with African and multitextured hair for over 20 years. In his experience, the most important element of working with African American hair is understanding the diversity of textures that are contained in this one category. “There are many mixtures of races in Canada and that is reflected in the African American community as well,” says Cox. “Textures ranging from very coarse to fine, to super curly, to straight and various mixes of the same are not uncommon. Often more than one texture of hair can exist on the same scalp. Each section demands unique attention.”

Nevertheless, about 80 per cent of all African American hair is characterized as tight or excessively curly. Naturally lacking in elasticity, African hair tends to accumulate stress in its twists and coils, making things like combing, brushing, styling, colouring and texturizing traumatic and potentially damaging.

Cox goes on to say that, “Generally, African American (or multi-textured) hair has a propensity to be dehydrated due to its natural properties—the existence of protein bonds.

Protein bonds represent the main building blocks of the hair and wherever curls occur, you find a more dense concentration of these bonds.

During chemical processes such as colouring and retexturizing/relaxing, these protein bonds are

driven market. According to Bachand, however, a stylist should allow 24 to 48 hours in between the two services in order to allow the inner structure of the hair to return to its maximum strength after the perm, then colour. “The more porous the hair, the longer you should wait between the two services,” says Bachand.

negatively affected as they are altered forever and/or removed in the case of straightening, causing hair to become coarser and more prone to dehydration and breakage.”

Colouring non-relaxed hair The benefit to those who stay with their natural texture through the use of deep treatments and moisture-filled conditioners, says Cox, is that they can get to play with colour and most likely have a very favourable result. “Let’s face it, most African American clients wanting hair colour should consider not relaxing it at all.

There is also the option of using relaxers for colour-treated hair.”

Colouring relaxed hair “Since African American hair is often relaxed, colouring automatically subjects it to a second chemical treatment,” says Cox. “This hair should never be relaxed and coloured on the same day. Strand testing is an important tool in maintaining the integrity of the hair.” He recommends that it should be followed by a waiting period of three weeks to allow for a proper assessment. “Most times the reaction of the hair does not show its true colour (no pun intended), and it’s only after a few weeks have passed that you will start to see shedding, breaking or no damage at all. Often, you have to ask the client if achieving that colour is worth the hair loss that is likely to follow.”

He explains that the hydroxides found in relaxers react with ammonia found in permanent colours, and the combination of both can vary drastically. He suggests using colours that have the lowest amount of ammonia and the lowest volume of peroxide that still offer the range of flexibility you want. He also suggests using protein-based colour rinses (non-peroxide,

non-ammonia) immediately after relaxing or re-texturizing as a refresher.”

highlighTing Highlighting is another option for the client whose hair may not be able to handle allover colour. “It can be recommended that the client do spot-lighting on pieces or signature sections instead of all-over colour.

Often this service allows the client to have flexibility and be able to use non-peroxide or non-ammonia rinses to create tone-on-tone effects as well.”

levels of lifT Cox suggests that for the client who is conscious about the health and integrity of her hair, she should go no more than four levels of lift beyond her natural colour. The person who wants to push the envelope, like the young hipster, will probably want to go seven levels. A lot depends on their age and lifestyle.

afTerCare “All curly hair will experience a drier, more brittle hair shaft that will require a moisturerich leave-in regime containing fatty acids and essential oils.”

Cox says to always towel dry the hair before applying conditioner and use moisturizing pH-balanced conditioners. He suggests the amount of thermal styling also needs to be decreased as this adds another dimension to the problem exacerbating the dehydration issue.

“Stylists who have succeeded with colour on African American hair are individuals that roller set or wrap their hair rather than use thermal styling. They have a leave-in regime that contains a cocktail of moisture-rich conditioners and essential oils, specifically developed for this hair type, says Cox.”

The boTTom line For Cox and Bachand, colouring highly textured hair requires the stylist to do a thorough analysis of the porosity and elasticity of the hair to best gauge capacity to handle the various chemical

processes. Keeping the client apprised of the uniqueness of her hair will produce clients who are better informed consumers and can identify products that will be more advantageous to their hair texture. S

ecently recognized into the Order of the British Empire for his services to hairstyling,

England’s Errol Douglas is truly at the top of his game. An international Matrix figurehead, Douglas shows a reflection of his status with his latest collection, British—a name that very well may be an indirect nod to his recent honour.

Acclaimed for his progressive photography and proficiency with both Afro and European hair, Douglas has created a nine-look collection that focuses on high-impact imagery and strong cuts with movement. The shoot took six months to plan and execute, and Douglas says it embodies the best of 07/08 trends: from big Barbarella-like waves to the interesting, androgynous crops worn by Rihanna and Brit breakout model Agyness Deyn.

The British collection focuses on fashionforward dressing—heavy on bold, bondageesque accessories and nails paired with equally trendy but classic hair. Styles run the gamut of length, colours and textures, but are united by a surprising softness buried beneath super-sleek styling. “The bob, the blonde and the crop all have real texture, and the emphasis is on bold colour and fluid, clean looks,” says the three-time British Hairdresser Award winner, adding, “the sharp bob will never die.” For the full collection, visit www.salon52.ca.

Building on the versatility of fall designs, Schwarzkopfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biannual Essential Looks, dubbed The Eclectic Collection, is made up of four looks that riff on popular fall/ winter 2008 runway themes: rustic chic, modern vintage, gothic lace and edgy structure.

All four looks put their own spin on simplicity with an emphasis on strong colour and effortless styling. Loose waves and strands trailing out of textured updos define Country Life, and Eccentric Vintage plays with exaggerated ponytails and twists for a quirky take on quaint. True to its name, Gothic Romance is defined by black but also features unexpected hits of colour coursing through long tresses. The strongest set, however, is Sculptured Form, pictured here, which encourages cheekbone-defining, sleekly styled crop cuts in bold basic colours. For the full collection, visit www.salon52.ca.

Aveda’s Big 3-0 On the vanguard of beauty and environmentalism since its inception, Aveda celebrates its 30th birthday

T

hese days, environmental entrepreneurs are a dime a dozen. In the 70s, however, only trailblazers set out to build eco-empires.

Aveda—the beauty world's green pioneer—is now a household name. But it hasn't just tread off the beaten path for the past 30 years—it had to create the path as well.

Founded in 1978 by hairstylist Horst Rechelbacher, Aveda’s mission has been to combat the harmful petrochemicals present in our daily lives and function as a zero-waste company.

Ray Civello, founder of Collega International—Aveda’s national distributor in Canada—says that it’s crucial to understand that the choice to follow environmentally sustainable business practices isn’t something that should be unique to the beauty industry. “It’s not an option not to embrace it,” he says. “The resources we are using right now are finite.”

And thirty years ago, the resources that Aveda needed to implement a non-waste business didn’t even exist.

“Every aspect of the business was pioneering,” explains Civello. “Aveda was using language that no one had paid attention to, aside from environmentalists. Aveda had to pioneer its own goals and resources.”

Over the years, the company has created partnerships that have made for a better earth—from recyclable packaging and ingredient-sourcing partnerships with indigenous peoples around the world, to the introduction of wind farms at its corporate headquarters and adjacent distribution plant in Minnesota. This hasn’t just shaped the way Aveda does business, it has also influenced the companies that provide its packaging, energy and distribution—not to mention the salons that carry Aveda products.

“For the last 50 years, the salon environment has not changed drastically. Today, water and energy consumption are two of the major waste issues in salons,” says Civello. “This should be seen as an opportunity for both economic- and eco-friendly innovation.” It’s also a major lesson that we can all learn from Aveda.

30 Years of Aveda 1978 Horst Rechelbacher founds Aveda, which translates to â&#x20AC;&#x153;all knowledgeâ&#x20AC;? in Sanskrit, and launches the future classic Clove shampoo.

ConneCtion A meeting of the minds between Canadian and Russian distributors

C

By Tina Christopoulos

anadians have long enjoyed leading the pack in hairstyling, with international accolades for their competition and stage work. But alongside our famed artists, our loyal distributors are also making a name for themselves on a global level.

“For the last two years, Canada has been the strongest country in market penetration for Schwarzkopf products,” says Alain Jacquaz, H. Chalut Ltée.

This accomplishment recently led to a special invitation from Stanislav Vassiliev, Director Schwarzkopf & Henkel Professional Russia to two Canadian distributors to visit Moscow.

From April 27 to May 2, Jacquaz and Vince Riverso from Venus Beauty Supplies, along with George Broder and Frank Bruno from Schwarzkopf Professional, visited Moscow, only to find that the two countries that couldn’t be further apart in political discourse are actually on the same page when it comes to talking beauty.

“Once you get past the historical background of the country and base yourself on the salon and stylist experience, you realize that we are part of one hairstyling community,” says Jacquaz.

However, our Canadian ambassadors did see a major difference in salon price point. Noting that all product used during a service is measured by weight, Jacquaz states that, “In Russia, clients receive two bills—one for the service and one for the product that was used. The visit ends up being much more expensive. It can go up to $250 to $350 for a cut and blow-dry, and not necessarily at a high-end salon.”

This is no big surprise. With a growing economy, the new Russian middleclass pride themselves on being able to afford pampering and the latest fashions. Jacquaz says, “They have an aspiration to acquire what rich countries have and they are extremely proud to be recognized as part of an international beauty community.” S w w w. s a lo n 5 2 . c a

here’s only so much pulling you can do to the face with a facelift,” says Dr. Marc DuPéré, MD, CM, FRCSC, a plastic surgeon at Visage Clinic in Toronto. To help your clients maintain beautiful, supple, wrinkle-free skin, Revaléskin, a new line that includes Facial Cleanser, Day Cream (with SPF 15) and Night Cream, has recently launched and is available for salons, spas and medi spas to offer to their clients.

Revaléskin contains CoffeeBerry, an extract of the unripe coffee bean fruit, which contains one of the highest scores of antioxidants (more than green tea, pomegranate or vitamins C and E). In a double-blind study of 30 testers in which the cream was applied to only one side of the face for six weeks, the results showed a 10 times improvement in fine lines, 4 times improvement in the tone, texture and hydration and a 3 times improvement in pigmentation.

New skin-care line launches to professional beauty industry and revitalizes skin while preventing and rejuvenating damage caused by free radical exposure and oxidative stress. The facial cleanser cleans, smoothes and refreshes skin; the day cream contains SPF 15 to protect against sun damage; the night cream revitalizes your skin while you sleep. Revaléskin works on three levels: reduces wrinkles and fine lines, brown spots and redness.

Not only is the line hypo-allergenic, noncomedogenic and non-irritating, it’s suitable for all skin types. “It’s simple and unisex, but gives significant results,” says Dr. DuPéré.

Maximizing profits

valux Tanning and Support recently began a strategic partnership with Integrated Processors Inc. (IPI) as their Payment Processing Consulting Firm. A long-term exclusive referral and endorsement partnership will offer IPI’s Merchant Direct Program to all Uvalux retail salon owners until at least 2016, enabling them to reduce costs and increase profits.

“Our customers look to Uvalux for business solutions in the Canadian Tanning Industry,” says Nik Van Haeren, Uvalux president. “This new solution will improve transaction processing speeds, while increasing their profits by eliminating ongoing monthly rental fees and by reducing their existing credit and debit transaction costs.”

IPI’s new Merchant Direct Advance Program will also enable tanning salon owners to receive working-capital funding by way of advances against future credit and debit card volumes. “In these challenging economic times, it is getting more and more difficult for small business owners to get short-term funding

One transaction at a time

or working capital in a quick and professional manner without having to be subjected to invasive credit checks, personal guarantees, etc.,” says Van Haeren, “but not anymore.”

You may be eligible for an advance of up to 20 to 30 per cent more than your monthly average in debit and credit card receivables. If you’ve been processing a minimum of $5,000 (average monthly) in debit and credit card transactions for 12 months, have at least 12 months left on your lease and are up-to-date with payments to your landlord or mortgage company, you may qualify.

Funds are paid to the qualified merchant in about a week or two, and there is no preset monthly payment. The merchant pays the advance back over time by receiving approximately 80 per cent of their batch-out settlements, which means about an eight-month payout. “This will work well for some of our customers when it comes time to add a new service like our Hydration Station or to replace tanning beds or tanning lamps,” said Van Haeren.

ragging rights and learning opportunities for nail technicians and students have gotten a little slimmer now that the Allied Beauty Association has cancelled its nail competitions. The announcement was made mid-July and affects trade shows scheduled for the latter half of this year.

“We are cancelling the competitions for the rest of 2008 and for 2009,” confirms Stephanie Gadbois, the ABA’s event planner for tickets and competitions. “But we are hoping to bring them back for 2010.”

Gadbois cites low turnout and support as the reason behind the change. “Nails tend not to be as big a draw as hair competitions, and I also think a lot of technicians don’t know there are nail competitions,” says Gadbois. “We tried to get the word out and turn it around and we didn’t see an increase in numbers.”

Christine Turner, the ABA’s nail competition director, was tasked with this initiative two years ago and says that the changes she spearheaded, including changing the emphasis from winning to education, had received lots of positive feedback. “I’m obviously very disappointed,” she says. “Losing our one and only Canadian live competition is an obvious blow to the industry.”

Toronto esthetician Leanne Colley of Tips Nail Bar competed regularly with the ABA and has continued to stay involved as a contest judge. She says she is completely disappointed by the announcement. “It’s really one of the only things we have in the nail industry that students and nail techs look forward to for perfecting their technique,” she says.

That angle—nail comps as an educational experience—has been Turner’s main push for increasing involvement. “People who have been avid competitors will tell you that’s been their greatest learning tool to gain everyday skills that they wouldn’t learn through their schooling,” says Turner. Working within a specific time frame and learning different time-management tricks are some of the skills competitive nail techs pick up. “It’s the most financially feasible and non-biased way to get an education,” she adds.

Colley agrees and says that more students becoming active competitors could help competitions stay afloat.—AM

Colour is Energy

I

f his awesome new gig as director of education and events for professional hair-care behemoth Matrix doesn’t pan out, Roch Lemay could have a wicked career as a Wall Street broker.

His eerily accurate powers of prediction have made the Montreal-based colourist among the most acclaimed and accomplished hair gurus on the planet, both at the salon and the corporate level, not to mention on the competitive circuit.

What’s more, Lemay’s borderline scientific approach to forecasting future hair and fashion looks (to conveniently coincide with upcoming collections) is juxtaposed against an almost New Age-y philosophy on hair colour, which Lemay describes not as shades or hues but as “energies” and “emotions.”

Maybe his former life as a graphic designer is to blame. Or the peripheral influence of his hairstylist father, Laurent.

It could be the years Lemay spent living in Germany during his two-decade tenure with another massive international hair care company he prefers we not name. It could be some combination of the three, added to his years spent behind the chair.

Whether it’s an ordinary client throwing herself at his mercy or a massive multinational strategically ramping up a new product release, Lemay is the man

w w w. s a lo n 5 2 . c a

So says Roch Lemay

by Kim Hughes who can locate the sweet spot. If he were selling stock market shares, his customers would be rich.

“It’s true I am able to interpret trends, to visualize what’s coming up and where fashion is going,” the fluently bilingual Ottawa native offers on the phone from Montreal.

“To predict trends takes a lot of research. I look at where textiles are going, I look to major cities like Paris, London, Tokyo, New York, cities in Russia and ask, ‘What is happening with street fashion? What is coming up? Who is the happening designer?’

“The health and direction of the economy also impacts trends. There is some guesswork, of course, but research is essential. I then storyboard the data and start interpreting from that to spot trends.

“There are some people who are very lucky and have instant flare. But when you have a full slate of research to support your collection, you are much more likely to have success with it. For example, when we did the Clone collection pictured here (at Montreal salon Orbite, where he previously worked for about eight years), we did six months of research with the entire team meeting once a week to go through things step by step.

“We arrived with a very strong collection that we submitted to seven categories at the Contessas (in 2002) and it won all seven,”

including Makeover Colourist of the Year for Lemay.

Lemay, the tactician, morphs into Lemay, the artiste, when talking about his first love—colour.

“If a client goes into a salon and says to a colourist, ‘What do you think would suit me?’

And he assesses her on the spot, it’s the biggest no-no he can do unless he has a very good relationship with her and really knows who she is.

“The colourist may argue that he can determine a good colour for a client based on skin tone, eye colour etc. But that’s wrong. Colour is an energy. It evokes an emotion—positive, negative or neutral.

“For example, let’s say a client hates red.

It evokes a negative energy for her. I might think red would be perfect for her based on superficial things like skin tone. But she will nevertheless hate it emotionally and then go home and be unhappy. So colour consultation has changed to reflect this.

You must conduct both an emotional and physical consultation with a client.

“This is my way of working and communicating. I want to be sure that the colour I select for a client will not only look good but evoke positive, happy emotions in her. And now that I’m back in the corporate world,” Lemay says, adding that his new Matrix colleagues are dynamite, “I am responsible for teaching that as well.” S

Inside the Classroom

oe Cairo, President of M.C. College, can now laugh about the time he was 10 years old having to wash hair, sweep the floor and unpack hair kits in his father’s (Frank Cairo) Marvel College classroom. “I promised myself I would practice law one day instead of working in education in the industry.” But years later, after obtaining a university degree and a knowledge of family business operations working from the ground up, Cairo remembers turning to his father and saying, “I’m not going to law school.” w w w. s a lo n 5 2 . c a

INTERIORS

Today, Joe and his brother Dino Cairo are owners of M.C. College.

Although the name has changed, the vision hasn’t—elevating our industry one graduate at a time.

With a total of 79,000 sq. ft. of instructional space in its six major training centres located in Western Canada, M.C. College has revolutionized hair and esthetics training into a real world environment.

Cairo called upon Linea Design to revamp each of the six sites into luxurious salon/spas with state-of-the-art of equipment, lighting and modern furniture.

“We had to do this because we talked to local salons. Owners said they needed graduates who could hit the floor immediately and bring in business quickly.” Cairo says by immersing students into a salonlike classroom with all the bells and whistles, it’s an easier transition from school to the real world.

The largest training centre (20,000 sq. ft.) is in Edmonton. Four salons have been built under one roof. Because each one has been designed differently, it allows students to experience a range of salons they may face upon graduation. Cairo says instructors who also work in the hair/esthetics industry act as the manager. “They are in charge like your typical salon owner/manager but give direction, feedback and, more importantly, teach proper etiquette and manners expected by a client.”

“Owners said they needed graduates who could hit the floor immediately and bring in business quickly.”

Cairo has also hired professional front desk reception staff to teach students how to use computer programs to book and adjust appointments, as well as learn point of sale methods. “We have also installed retail shelves filled with product to instruct students on the importance of selling proper hair care to build revenue,” he adds.

One floor of the Edmonton site is dedicated solely to a 12-month course in fashion design. Students have the opportunity to learn the skills in designing and creating their own collection upon graduation.

Cairo says students don’t graduate without the lesson of marketing themselves. “Probably the most important tool of the trade is giving them personalized business cards to hand out as they complete 1400 hours of training.” Cairo says many M.C. College grads find themselves starting a professional career with a committed list of clientele. “This is one key feature that attracts any salon/spa owner who is always concerned about the bottom line."

The theme of the event was pink, by incorporating pink extensions, pink nail polish, and pink hair colour along with providing hair cuts for men and women.

LAST WORD

Jheri curls.

Need I say more?

I

recently arranged to get together with the multi-talented stylist, Adrian Carew, in his delightful studio Hair2 Inc. on Toronto’s tony Scollard Street.

I wanted the benefit of his abundant experience in ethnic hairdressing, because I believe it’s important to know as much as possible about every aspect of hair.

Adrian commented that although in the past, most schools offered a class on super-curly hair to future stylists, probably 90 percent of hairdressing students chose not to take it. Fortunately that has changed, possibly because of Canada’s multi-ethnicity. Certainly all the assistants in my salon are taking this class and learning how to do braiding and weaving, among other things.

“There is a huge spectrum of African-descent hair,” Adrian said. “Hair is hair.”

How true. Like Caucasian hair, ethnic hair varies in texture and curl pattern.

But it’s often delicate, coarse, has a tight curl pattern and is more vulnerable to damage from chemical treatments.

It’s hardly surprising, therefore, that the Jheri curl—made so popular in the late 70s and then into the 80s MTV generation by stars like Rick James and Michael Jackson—eventually went out of fashion. The harsh mix of chemicals the process required caused the hair to become extremely brittle and dry. And to maintain the look, users had to apply activator and oily moisturizers daily—and sleep with a plastic cap on their heads to keep the hairstyle from drying out. What price fashion, say I. “Ethnic curly hair should always be treated with high-end moisture products,” Adrian advises. “This is key.”

Madam C.J. Walker was a woman who knew all about that. She built a fortune in the early 1900s marketing hair-care and beauty products to AfricanAmerican women.

Described by The Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s first female self-made millionaire, Walker had more than enough reasons not to succeed. Born

into poverty in Louisiana in 1867 to sharecroppers who had been slaves, she was orphaned at seven, married at 14, a mother at 18 and a widow at 20. Her brothers had established themselves as barbers in St. Louis, and the young single mother went there to support herself and her daughter by working in a laundry.

Walker became personally interested in the hair-care business in the 1890s, when a scalp ailment caused her to almost go bald. She started experimenting with homemade remedies and developed her own recipes. She sold her Wonderful Hair Grower, Glossine pressing oil and Vegetable Shampoo door-to-door, and instructed women on hair and scalp treatments.

Two short marriages and two relocations later, this enterprising lady headed up The Walker College of Hair Culture and Walker Manufacturing Co. in Indianapolis, eventually expanding to Jamaica, Cuba, Costa Rica, Panama and Haiti. By 1919, Walker offered meaningful and well-paid employment and personal growth to thousands of African American women, employing 3,000 workers at the factory and more than 20,000 agents. Her daughter, Lelia, ran the mail-order side of the business.

By the time of her early death at 52 (on her estate in a wealthy New York area where the likes of John D. Rockefeller was her neighbour), this hair-care entrepreneur, tycoon and philanthropist had built an empire on smart and honest business dealings, trained future “hair culturists” and offered quality products to help African American women take good care of their hair.

“There is no royal flower-strewn path to success,” Walker once observed.

“And if there is, I have not found it—for if I have accomplished anything in life it is because I have been willing to work hard.”

We could all take note of that. S John Steinberg is at John Steinberg and Associates in Toronto. He is currently celebrating 49 years in the beauty business. Check out www.johnsteinbergthelectures.com.
