SEPTEMBER MEANS BACK TO SCHOOL for kids and university students alike. New learning awaits them at every turn. It also signals a new season of the latest style of clothes, makeup, nail polish and hair. Our editors, Morella Aguirre and Tina Christopoulos, have again pooled their resources and contacts to bring you our 2006 Fall Trend Report. As Morella puts it, “Most magazines separate their beauty and fashion pages, but we bring it all together in a complete package. It’s a holistic approach to fuel the inspiration of beauty pros. We want to empower our readers to consult with their clients on a total overall look—give them the tools to be style consultants, not just hairstylists.” They’ve taken the looks from the runway shows of fall fashions, interviewed many of the top artistic and creative minds in the industry and come up with what’s hot in cut, colour, nails and makeup. Check it out on page 35. And speaking of trends, this month’s profile features an interview with a man who lives and breathes seasonal trends, Bill Rowley. Rowley has been doing makeovers on everyday people for years, behind the chair and on CityLine with Marilyn Denis. Kim Hughes talks to him about his start in the industry and how he got to where he is today—A Simple Plan—on page 7o. Our office has been abuzz for the past few weeks gearing up for the launch of salon52. The excitement created with the launch of a brand new initiative that will personally touch so many of our readers has been fantastic. Through the magic of the Internet, we will be bringing Salon Magazine content to your personal inbox on a weekly basis. Salon52 will allow us to feature more expanded coverage on everything from the latest industry news and events to inspiring collections and Contessa coverage. It will also feature affordable industry-specific job postings for all of Canada— something that our research indicates is desperately needed and wanted. See the story on page 20 and sign up now at salon52.ca. As we go to press with this issue, the deadline for Contessa entries is fast approaching. We are gearing up for two marathon days of judging. Ticket sales start September 20. Global Beauty is proving to be lots of fun as a theme. And Salon International hits London in October. There is so much to look forward to these days. Read on and be inspired!

I OFTEN TALK ABOUT the importance of upgrading, embracing technology and keeping current. The world of information is moving fast, and we need to be one step ahead. Well, we’re about to practise what we preach. Ten years ago, Salon Magazine was groundbreaking by being one of the first beauty magazines in the world to have its own website called Beautynet.com. Beautynet’s focus was to drive consumers to salons with a salon directory and stories about the professional beauty world. At that time, not many salons were online, and beauty pros didn’t have their own e-mail addresses. We’ve come a long way since then. Canada has one of the highest rates of home computer usage in the world. Today, having an e-mail address is no different than having a cell phone—it’s simply the norm. We know for a fact that salons and beauty pros are online, as well, through calls about our Contessa image bank, or getting e-mails on a regular basis from our readers. Today’s beauty pro is the same as the average consumer, who is demanding instant information about their world with valuable tidbits and the most current news. Salon52.ca is the answer for beauty pros— a weekly e-mail from Salon Magazine, with industry buzz on things you care about. Salon52 has a clean, minimalist design and easy navigation similar to iPod or Google. One click takes you directly to the salon52 website where you’ll see events listings and be able to view photos of the latest shows—just like being there! It’s a place to put your “For Hire” sign. Just look at how popular jobshark.ca and monster.com are! Salon52 will be THE spot for job postings for our industry in Canada. And a new home for the Contessas—with winning collections, semi finalists and finalists listed—this site will have everything you need. Salon52 is an extension of Salon Magazine, where you’ll be able to view amazing hair collections to inspire and educate. You’ll still be able to read your favourite issue of Salon Magazine but when the issue gets a little dog-eared and tired you’ll have all the info at your fingertips. Salon52 is about building a community—a place to go in the virtual world for you and your industry. Sign up now at salon52.ca!

PHOTOS COURTESY GOLDWELL

hey say that if it ain’t broke, you shouldn’t fix it. But what do they know, anyway? Isn’t it true that things can always be made just a little better? Case in point: Goldwell’s new Styling line, a five-segment styling range that ups the ante on what styling products can do. Developed in conjunction with the artistic team of RUSH London, Styling is set to replace Goldwell’s Trendline, a move that reflects the new line’s technological innovation and increased functionality, as well the hair care company’s branding philosophy. “The new Styling line meets salon requirements,” explains Piet Loomans, district sales manager for Goldwell Canada. “Also, it’s packaging is designed to be a natural transition from our Goldwell Care and our Goldwell Color Glow lines. Packaging is now more systematic, more identifiable with the Goldwell brand.” Styling’s five subcategories—Natural, Volume, Straight, Curl and Wild—contain a total of 10 completely new products. These, as well as the nine products with clear predecessors in the Trendline, all contain Goldwell’s new and patented FlexShine Technology. Combining a blend of setting and smoothing polymers with bamboo protein, FlexShine provides flexible, durable hold along with a natural shiny finish. Still expect to see top sellers like Lagoom Jam and Superego, but look forward to them being more functional than ever. Goldwell’s comprehensive launch of Styling also includes the release of breathtaking imagery, the Pulse collection created by the RUSH London artistic team. Each model represents one of the line’s five segments and an instructional DVD demonstrating all five looks is available. Locally, Goldwell educators have been hard at work talking to stylists and distributors alike and demonstrating what the new line is capable of achieving for clients, with recent events in Vancouver and Toronto.—MA

spectacular show of fashion and hair had the crowd of close to 1,000 pumped for the 9th annual L’Oréal Professionnel Color Trophy Awards at Montreal’s Palais des congrès on Sunday June 11. The theme for this year’s gala was Mascarade and the feather-covered runway did not disappoint. The feeling and vibe was reminiscent of an evening in Venice. As for the awards, Pure Coiffure, a Montreal salon whose team is composed of hairstylist Antoine Vadacchino, colourist Monia Grieco, makeup artist Mélissa Lortie and model Kathy Charest, captured the 2006 L’Oréal Professionnel Color Trophy in the women’s category. An international jury of industry professionals declared the winner over 14 other finalists who competed in the event. Second place in the women’s category went to the Montreal salon Mood by Pure, while Ricci Hair Co. of Edmonton placed third. Along with viewing the looks presented by the finalists, the audience saw performances by top hairstylists, including the team from TAZ Hair Co. from Toronto and New Zealand’s outstanding Salon Servilles team. Another team from Pure Coiffure took home the top honour in the men’s category. The winning team consisted of hairstylist Brian Ayala Diaz, colourist Karine Gosselin and model Louis-Philippe Lafleur.—SP

The Money of Colour! 6 Tips to help increase colour business 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Less is more. With new clients promote minimal work with strong impact. One or two accent pieces strategically placed create a modern and stylish look that gets clients excited about colour. It also requires less time and money. Think seasonal promotions. Do a back-to-school highlights promo or put your favourite fall shades on special. Combine a free take-home product with a colour service. It’s a perfect match and ensures your clients maintain a fresh-from-the-salon look. Pre-book follow up visits after every colour service. It can mean the difference between a client visiting every four to six weeks instead of six to eight weeks. Don’t forget about referrals. Strategically choose a few clients, colour their hair either at no charge or a lower rate and give them five business cards. When you get those five cards back from NEW colour clients, the original client gets a salon service at no charge or a lower rate. Convert the colour shy client. Offer colour balancing with demi- or semi-permanent colour, which can be done on clients who normally don’t go for permanent colour service. Great for men and teenagers.

AVEDA ENVIRONMENTAL TIP CONSERVE MORE Install state-of-the-art low flow 1 toilets which use only 1 to 1 /2 gallons of water per flush, saving as much as 5,600 gallons a year per person. Check with your local dealers for their most efficient models.

Tips provided by Contessa Makeover Colourist winners Susan Hayward and Adriana Balea as well as Kathy Simon, Canadian artisitic director, Schwarzkopf Professional and Lisa Bremner, master colourist for Joico Canada.

THE PRESS RELEASE AND THE MEDIA KIT The press release is most often your first point of contact with the media. It is a very important document that should contain all pertinent information about your salon or event or whatever you are trying to get media coverage for. As PR consultant Donna-Lee Langton suggests, “it should always address the five Ws of who, what, when, where and why plus your contact information, name, phone number, fax and e-mail address.” This document will often be passed on to writers or assignment editors who will need all the information for the story. It is important to be sure there are no errors or omissions in the press release. It is highly recommended to get a professional PR person or writer to produce the final document that you will send out to the media. Your area of expertise is hair, theirs is writing. It will be money well spent. They can help you phrase your quotes and ensure the right information is included. Most experts agree, a press release should never be more than one page in length. If the media need more information they can call you. Depending on what you’re promoting, a media kit could contain a press release, images on a CD, a contact sheet with photos and captions, plus anything else you are promoting. It should also contain a cover letter, explaining what is in the kit—a short but concise introduction. A good media kit will often be the only thing a media outlet will need to write a story. If the press release contains everything from good quotes to the correct information and there are images to capture the story completely, you have made the job easy for the media. This is the second in a series of stories on getting positive media coverage of your business or events. Next issue we talk about pitching story ideas to the media.—SP

HAIR RHINO GAUDET PHOTO CURT YODER

Employees appreciate the opportunity to concentrate on wellness THERE IS A LINK BETWEEN EMPLOYEE WELLNESS and productivity. That is why many employers are integrating physical activity, known to improve health and well-being, into the work week. Keeping your employees’ best interests at heart can help your business flourish. Ross Hahn, owner of Swizzlesticks SalonSpa in Calgary, believes in life beyond work. “We spend about 40 hours a week at work,” he says, “employees like to know that management is interested in the other 80 hours of their work week.” Hahn has set up regular staff times every Wednesday for wellness training. One third of that time is dedicated to movement-oriented or life -skills classes. They range from yoga, belly dancing, tai chi, tae kwon do, walking and cycling, to psychologists coming in to talk about mental health, happiness and well-being. “It’s important to know how to get more out of the time you’re not at work,” says Hahn. “It not only serves employees, but it also serves the business and the clients.” He strongly believes that if employees look after their own wellbeing, they will come to work happier and be much more productive. At Star Bedard, a Quebec distirbutor, it’s become a weekly ritual to work out at the office. Every Wednesday, Karine Lamontagne, marketing associate at Star Bedard and personal trainer to the Bourdon family, turns the boardroom into a training room and accommodates small groups of four to six people throughout several daily time slots. Among the activities offered are yoga, spinning, weight training and circuit training. “There are more than 30 employees who have stuck to this program for about a year now,” says Lamontagne. “ It gives them more energy, it improves their posture and flexibility, and most of all it gives them self-confidence and relieves stress.” Lamontagne also consults with the employees on nutrition and has seen an increased interest in how to establish healthy eating habits. “It’s a great team-building experience. Every Wednesday, you can just feel the energy and anticipation in the office.”—TC

22 new shades to excite your clients

PHOTO COURTESY MATRIX

ou always want to give your clients the most brilliant intense colour possible—the kind you’ll see on actress Emily Blunt in the hilarious movie The Devil Wears Prada. Her haircut is fabulous, but the colour is amazing. More intense longer-lasting colour like this is now available through the Matrix SoColor portfolio. Launching this month, they are introducing 18 new shades, from shimmering gold to fiery reds, called the Reflect Collection, plus four powerful reds called SoRED. Sandra MacKenzie, owner of Heaven’s Hair Studio in Ridgeway, Ont., near Niagara Falls, has been testing the new shades on her clients and gives this feedback. “Probably the most awesome benefit of the Reflect shades is the patented Color Grip technology which anchors the molecule inside the cortex to give great longer-lasting intense reds. I have played with them on many clients and they’re saying they notice the red vibrancy lasting longer, with no brown out. They are seeing a big difference with the condition of the hair too—it is softer and has a lot more shine. “While they’ve developed a new, very nice fragrance, the big benefit to the colourist is the texture of the product in application—it is much smoother and creamier, and I’m getting more mileage from the product which adds up to less wastage.” Stephanie Gougoux, product manager for Matrix says, “With these 18 fashion shades the saturation is so pure it allows the colourist to be more creative and avant garde, and they are completely intermixable with existing SoColor shades for more versatility with all colour clients. Gougoux adds, “The four SoRED shades are ultra intense chromatic reds you can use as a colour booster or for off-scalp highlights with no pre-lightening required—it lifts as it deposits. You can also mix them into any SoColor shades to infuse it with an intense red vibrancy.” So who are the target clients for these new shades? Any permanent hair colour client who wants vibrant long-lasting fashion colour; clients with up to 50 per cent grey, who want a bold look; clients with more than 50 per cent grey, who want a vibrant shade without glowing grey; clients who want richness and intensification of any shade.—SP

Compiled by Morella Aguirre and Tina Christopoulos

1. Retro

“These looks— achieved with L’Oréal L’Oréal é Professionnel Richesse and Hi.Richesse—are not about changing colour, but about enhancing colour. Richesse is like a long-lasting shine treatment with colour. Hi.Richesse offers a small amount of lift for more visibility of the reflect.” —Colin Ford, L’Oréal L’Oréal é Professionnel director of education and events The Hair Our fixation with bygone eras—particularly the ’60s and ’70s—hasn’t gone away yet. In terms of hair, this translates into length and lustre. L’Oréal Professionnel presents two beautiful, high-shine options for lengthy locks. Voluminous curly red ringlets—reminiscent of the styles worn in the cult classic Beyond the Valley of the Dolls—are one alternative. Super straight and parted in the middle, i.e., the classic ’60s girl hairdo, is the other way to go. Give your clients tone-on-tone colour with visible reflect to finish the look.

The Hair Short, textured cuts allow for movement and give hair the ability to create unique criss-cross patterns. Created by the artistic team from RUSH London, two looks from Goldwell’s Pulse collection, Volume (left) and Wild (above), exemplify this effect.

The Hair Short hair is back. And as Schwarzkopf Professional presents it in its fall 2006 essential looks collection, it’s back in black. Still playing on ever-present geometric tendencies, this look is dark and gritty, but still sophisticated.

The Hair Luxurious hair is soft, touchable and stress-free, no matter how it’s styled. Curly or straight, Aveda stylists have created two distinct looks using one cut and model. The key here is healthy hair and proper styling.

YEARS OF FASHION CARES

Drama, Daring and Dreams

ABOUT 5,000 FASHION-CRAZED supporters gathered at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre on June 3 for MAC Viva Glam 20—the Fashion Cares Gala fundraiser to support the AIDS Committee of Toronto (ACT). It's mission is to provide support and services to men, women and youth living with HIV/AIDS. In the past two decades Fashion Cares has raised almost nine million dollars for ACT. This years event did not disappoint the crowds, as aweinspiring fashion and spectacular entertainment showcased a retrospective look at the highlights of Fashion Cares over the past 20 years. Some of the biggest names in international design contributed to the show this year including Alexander McQueen, Roberto Cavalli, Vivienne Westwood and Narciso Rodriguez. Home-grown designer talent was also sharing the spotlight with designers like Arthur Mendonça, Izzy Camilleri, Farley Chatto and Joeffer Caoc contributing. A major visual impact was created for the finale of the runway show featuring 45 red dress creations, once again highlighting the main goal of Fashion Cares. Each was made exclusively of red fabric to represent the AIDS ribbon, which symbolizes the fight against HIV/AIDS around the world. S

Neverland

Jolaine Turcotte speaks about her team’s collection Edited by Tina Christopolous

his collection is a symbiosis of the past,

the present and the future. We wanted to create fictional characters in an imaginary world who don’t belong to any one era. That is why we used the elaborate costumes paired with modern hairstyles. The makeup was also conceived to make the models look fictional. All the elements were exaggerated, like the contour of the nose and the rosy cheeks that give them a sort of doll-like appearance. Every collection I had seen in the past featured naked models, so I wanted to clothe them as much as possible. Marie-Laure Larrieu created the costumes from scratch. My initial inspiration was a “time walker” theme, and as we discussed it more with the team, it turned into our Neverland collection. We wanted to let our imagination run wild and have fun, so that’s what we did. It’s a modern twist on an imaginary fairy tale.

“WE WANTED TO COMBINE DIFFERENT TEXTURES, STRAIGHT AND CURLY AT THE SAME TIME, SOLID AS WELL AS FLUID LINES.” TECHNIQUE: WE CREATED A MICRO-BANG BARELY RECOGNIZABLE ALL AROUND TO OPEN UP THE FACE. WE LEFT THE HAIR SHORTER AT THE NAPE AND LONGER IN THE FRONT AND JUST PLAYED WITH TEXTURE, CREATING STRANDS OF CURLS AT THE TOP.

Te x t b y M o r e l l a A g u i r r e

hat do all the cool kids from all around the world have in common? Very simply, they all use hair, clothing and accessories to express themselves and their own brand of individuality. Then, very likely, a whole whack of them hit the streets. They go walking, shopping, clubbing. They rendezvous with other style-conscious individuals and travel in packs of two or three. And, thus, that little thing we call street style is kept alive and kicking. This individualistic expression of style—which, by the way, is not only skillfully carried out by kids, but by cool adults too—is the inspiration behind Fudge’s latest Pavement collection. Looking around the globe for the lines, shapes and colours that evolve from casual and cool urban fashions, Fudge offers its own take on the looks that matter. By presenting an already bright and bold collection over a gleaming white backdrop, Fudge revs up the energy and takes Pavement to full throttle.

Compiled by Tina Christopoulos and Morella Aguirre

Three makeup artists describe their rise to the top and plant a few seeds of wisdom

WHAT WAS THE TURNING POINT IN YOUR CAREER?

WHAT DO ASPIRING MAKEUP ARTISTS NEED TO KNOW?

WHAT MAKES A GOOD MAKEUP ARTIST?

Working in retail for Aveda in New York, then trained with Dana Walker and Brian Dupree, learning the art of makeup conceptually and not so much based on technique.

In 1999, Ray Civello, then creative director of Aveda Global, saw Rudy on the floor and was impressed by him. When Dana Walker decided to leave Aveda to start a family, she recommended Rudy to take over her position, and Ray Civello offered him the position of Global Artist.

Learn to retail. Even the most established and acclaimed makeup artists like Gucci Westman and Bobbie Brown are all trying to push product. So ask yourself: “Can I sell makeup?”

You need to be up-to-date in the beauty business and know about skin care. Often, makeup covers up skin problems, but makeup should work hand in hand with a skin regimen, and a good makeup artist should be able to help recognize problems and not just cover them up.

I apprenticed with makeup artist Paul Langill for about a year before getting my portfolio together and visiting agencies. I travelled quite a bit with him and got to learn with hands-on training. Finally, I got picked up by Ford in the hair and makeup division.

Because I had such thorough training in the field right away, I started working with top photographers and top agencies from the beginning. So, I really feel my career took off right away.

To never give up and always keep trying. You’re going to get rejected a lot. So learn to be persistent but not pushy. And keep doing creative jobs, whether big or small. It will keep your mind exercised and you will keep learning.

Having the ability to fulfill what the client wants. Always being willing to learn and not being rigid about technique. Every job is different and every editor wants something different, you need to be able to deliver that. Keep an open mind and you can always learn from others.

My very first job was in the theatre in Alberta. I then worked at weddings and department stores. I won my first ABA award for evening fashion makeup at 17 years old. I moved to Calgary and started working for Nars Cosmetics. That’s when I met my first agent, Kelly Streit, from Mode Models.

When I moved to Toronto. When I was in Calgary I was still getting a lot of work but moving to Toronto represented the big city for me. I also started my company just before I moved and that was something I had always wanted to do.

You need to try and find a really good agency. And build a very good book. Take every opportunity you get to grow your network and your portfolio.

You have to be able to listen really well and understand what the client wants. People do things in different ways and you have to be open to that. Never think you’re better than anyone else and look at what others are doing. I learn something new every day. S

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

What’s in a name? OPI turns 25

OPI POSTER COURTESY OPI

When a name like I’m Not Really a Waitress becomes synonymous with a sultry shade of red, you know people are paying attention to your style of doing things. And as we all know, super catchy, super fun, longer-than-expected lacquer names are certainly trademark OPI style. Still, in this industry it takes more than just a fancy title to get by. So what else is in the name OPI? For starters, the North Hollywood-based company can now boast 25 years in business. The brainchild of president and CEO George Schaeffer and executive VP and artistic director Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI began in sunny California a quarter of a century ago with a liquid and powder system for acrylic nails. “We were originally in the dental supply business,” explains Weiss-Fischmann. “We saw that nail techs were coming in to buy supplies for enhancements, so we decided to develop product specifically for them.” Like all good business folk, Weiss-Fischmann saw promise in what was then an underdeveloped industry. “We noticed that there was full potential and excellent return for nail services. It’s something that brings back clients every seven to 10 days, so the traffic is great. And, nail services provide instant gratification that surpasses socio-economic boundaries. Most women can treat themselves to a manicure.” In 1989 OPI expanded its product roster to include consumer products like the lacquers for which the company is so well known today. But despite its worldwide distribution and success in the consumer goods market, OPI still chooses to be a salon exclusive brand. “Professional brands have a cache,” states Weiss-Fischmann. “They are the chosen brand of the professional.”—MA

TANNING Ra Sun Spa takes a different approach to tanning

FUNKY COOL

salon > september 06

PHOTOS MORELLA AGUIRRE

his new urban retreat located in the heart of Toronto was created from the inspiration to open something trendy and different by brothers Jay and Jeff Karadjian. “We wanted something young, fresh and modern,” explains Jeff. Initially focused on tanning, Ra Sun Spa, which means the sun god in Egyptian—their parents’ native language—gradually expanded to other areas such as esthetics and massage services, with three full-time estheticians, two part-time massage therapists, a manicure bar and a pedicure station. “We wanted it to be a place where clients can come and get ready before going away on vacation. The spa can now also be seen as a lifestyle store. We sell an extensive selection of swimwear, ranging from Diesel to Killah to Gsus and many more.” Reflective of its namesake, the décor portrays a raw atmosphere in a clean, loft-like open space, with concrete walls and high ceilings. Perhaps the most important element however that ties the creative concept together is the full-on working DJ booth, that tunes out electronic-based music, all of which can be purchased there, including music by Thievery Corporation, Kinkysweet recordings and Godsoul records. He sums it up by saying, “We are a concept boutique spa built on the love of music. Our goal is to provide an urban retreat where clients can refresh their senses and rejuvenate their body and soul.” Carrying a full selection of Supre products, Ra Sun Spa also hosts private tanning parties, where clients can come in groups, relax, listen to good music, tan and then have a libation. The retro furniture and all-round laidback atmosphere is perfect for leisure activities and attracts mainly young professionals. Although fun is the name of the game, the Karadjian’s strongly believe in keeping their clientele educated and in the know. “We try and teach our clients how to determine what is best for their skin type, and what products work best for them,” says Jeff. That is why they saw a perfect fit with the esthetics services. “You need to know how to maintain healthy skin in order to get a good tan and be happy with your colour.”—TC

PROFILE

A Simple Plan Stylist Bill Rowley thrives behind the chair

By Kim Hughes

salon > september 06

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

PHOTO MARK MCNEILLY

eet Bill Rowley, everyman super-stylist. He loves fashion, Paris, his flaming-red 1976 Alpha Romeo, his pets (past and present) and being among a core group of pros who’ve made beauty and lifestyle TV show CityLine a ratings powerhouse. Entering his third year as host of the Contessa Awards (photo above), despite never having won one, ranks top 10 as well. But if push came to shove, Rowley would swap the lot to continue doing the one thing that brought him fame and fortune in the first place: standing behind a chair, giving a client an awesome haircut. In fact, he did just that— almost—in 2000, when he closed his own successful salon, Kiva, for space on the floor of someone else’s shop. Coming from almost anyone else, such a move might seem dubious. Yet Rowley, a stylist of great versatility and flare, is the genuine article. As he reflects on his career, Rowley spotlights his hits and misses with equal candor. Take the fortuitous CityLine connection. “If God touched me once, it was in July 1990 when I went on CityLine the first time,” he cracks. “They found me, Kiva was 11 months old, and I was plucked out of nowhere and put on national television. And it changed everything.”

PROFILE So luck has played a role in your career ascent? “Totally,” he says, “and I’m the first to admit it. But it’s fair to say I’ve managed the luck that has come my way.” It wasn’t always thus, as a thumbnail bio of Rowley confirms. Always interested in hair and fashion, at the dawn of the 80s, a Big Life Decision loomed. “It was really a choice between Ryerson for fashion design and Marvel for hairstyling,” Rowley says. “The Ryerson program was three years, Marvel was nine months, and I hated school so…. But that second day at Marvel, when they gave me the mannequin head and said, ‘Play,’ I knew I was at the start of a very long road.” Still, he allows that “I kind of dropped out. I started in July and got sick the following January. By the time I got back to school, all my friends had graduated, and it was spring so I started skipping off and never quite finished.” According to Rowley, he had been working at a big downtown Toronto salon at the time. “One day I just sort of walked in and said, ‘I’ve finished school’ and they said

Rowley is a regular guest expert on CityLIne with Marilyn Denis.

“I took all my experiences and my name and parlayed it into being the best I could be behind the chair...”

‘Great, now you can start working full-time,’ and that was that.” Diligent assistant work gave way to marquee session and editorial work (“Back in the day when the magazines actually called the salons to book the stylists, and we did it for free for credit in the magazine.”) As his rep grew, Rowley admits, so did his ego, and it wasn’t long before he lost sight of the fact that his name was only as hot as the salon to which it was attached. “I had a good run, but I left that salon in ’86. And the work left me. I was flavour of the month by 20 and it was all gone by 23.” Rowley’s story might have skidded into Movie of the Week territory at that point had he not been more grounded. “I always kept the partying in check.” Fast-forward to 1989: Rowley opens Kiva, where he flourished for 11 years before he closed it. Yet he admits, “I adored the people I worked with. They were wonderful. But never in 11 years did I enjoy the other aspects of salon ownership. What got me into this business was standing behind the chair doing hair one client at a time. So the solution was simple—return to that.” Now four years into his tenure at Philosophy, in downtown Toronto, Rowley sees clients at a more leisurely pace, revels in his craft and, at the end of the day, returns worry-free to the elegant home he shares with his partner David and their mixed-breed dog Sanford. “When you make a name for yourself you can parlay that into different things—your own salon or line of products,” he says. “I took all my experiences and my name and parlayed it into being the best I could be behind the chair. That’s what I love. And then I get to go home at the end of the day,” he laughs. “That’s what I’m proudest of.” S

hat used to be a 100-year-old building left empty for 13 years has been restored and turned into a historical landmark for spa-goers in Halifax. “It's the perfect location to showcase something fresh and exciting in a modern port city,” says Linda Brigley, owner of the popular downtown Spirit Spa. “We took an old space which used to be a furniture store and made it into a beautiful sanctuary for people to relax and recharge their spirit.” Once a spa director, Brigley used her business and marketing expertise to make a wish come true. “For eight years, I dreamed of opening up my own spa. It took four months to reconstruct the inside of the building and only 12 weeks to build a haven for people to enjoy.” Brigley even admits she made up her mind years ago to call it Spirit Spa. Recognized internationally for its design and interior, Spirit Spa is simple, yet vibrant, because the amount of natural light shining through the large windows and skylights is dazzling. Brigley laughs and confesses she takes pleasure in hearing new clients say how refreshed they already feel when they walk in for the first time. “It’s satisfying to know that while we are a full-service

Attracting a significant amount of urban professionals, there is a growing trend of local businesses holding meetings and conferences with spa services offered as part of the event. “The men relish the experience,” adds Brigley. This October, Spirit Spa celebrates four years, and Brigley credits her team as the reason for its success. “Everyone lives by the name, by demonstrating team spirit in the service they provide to the innovation and creativity they strive for every day.” From the most advanced skin and body treatments to rejuvenate the soul to the intimate and energetic vibe of the salon studio, the spirit of the third and fourth floors at 1566 Barrington St. is a welcomed pit stop in the gateway of the Atlantic.

A LOCK OF LOVE Artist David Williamson decided two years without a haircut was long enough—but he wanted his hair to go to a worthy cause. Willliamson—nephew of Salon Magazine president Brian Light—wanted to honour his grandmother Dorothy Fulford, a survivor of Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. David Hillis Salon and Spa generously donated its services, and 13 inches of hair was donated to Medical Image, a non-profit organization that makes wigs for children with cancer.

THE LAST WORD

PASSION FOR FASHION

he first few months of this year were a hairdresser’s dream. The fashion shows on the runways of London, Paris, New York and Milan, and the Hollywood award shows, culminating with the Oscars, gave us a great look through the window of the world of make-believe and dress-up. These events gave us fashions, makeup and hairstyles to feed fantasy and stimulate imagination. Great stuff. In years gone by, Paris enjoyed an unrivalled position as the centre of fashion-that-mattered on Planet Earth. Strangely enough, that all started thanks to a man from Lincolnshire – not one of England’s most remarkable counties, unless you’re into farming. Fortunately for fashion as we know it today, Charles Frederick Worth left his bucolic market town behind and worked in prosperous drapery stores in London before moving to Paris when he was 20, in 1846. He worked for an established firm of Parisian drapers, and married one of the shawls and hats models, for whom he made dresses. Customers started asking for copies of these dresses, and haute couture was born. The French empress Eugenie became a devotee of Worth’s luxurious materials and meticulous fit. Other titled or wealthy women followed, some even travelling across the ocean from Boston and New York. Worth revolutionized fashion. He broke away from traditional methods of dressmaking, where the customer dictated the design. Instead, he held fashion shows four times a year to display his creations. Women of privilege came to pick out their favourites, which were made up in fabrics of their choice and tailored to their figures. When the founder of the prestigious House of Worth died in 1895, 2,000 people attended his funeral, including the French president. Paris remained at the pinnacle of high fashion for decades. Then Italy established itself as serious couture competition in the early 1950s. The

early ’60s saw much-photographed and televised celebrities, such as Audrey Hepburn and Jackie Kennedy, who looked so good in their respective Givenchy and Oleg Cassini creations, setting fashion trends among the wealthy. Then youth culture exploded onto the scene. British designers such as Mary Quant took their cues from street fashion and catered to younger fashion consumers. In the ’70s, Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren saved American fashion from its previously embarrassing lack of chic. In Canada we can thank Robin Kay, president of the Fashion Design Council of Canada, for her hard work and dedication to promoting Canadian fashion design. Also Citytv, for bringing us Fashion Television. I had the honour of appearing in the very first edition, in 1985. Many hairdressers aspire to the goal of styling hair for fashion shows. I recently pointed out to a class of novices that this is well within their grasp. There are no limits to what one can aspire to in our glorious trade. But buyer beware – it is not all fun and games backstage. You have to be flexible when working with designers and show directors. Most of the time you work under extreme time pressures in cramped spaces, and you may have to follow an artistic direction that goes against your grain. Nine times out of 10 the designer or art director has the last word in artistic control. This is the glamour business and there are usually tremendous egos running wild, including our own. My worst fashion-show experience came in the early 1980s, when I thought I was the bee’s knees in hairdressing. How’s that for an ego. I showed the designer my work and he hated it. I’d made it straighter than he wanted. I learnt (the hard way) that it’s better to start with as much body and curl in the hair as possible. Going from straight to curly takes twice as long as curly to straight. I was devastated, but kept quiet and redid it. As Thomas Carlyle said, sometimes, “Silence is the element in which great things fashion themselves.” S
