orgAnic BrAziliAn BABASSu ORIGINS: The story of the babassu nut lies in the fertile lands of Maranhão in Northeastern Brazil. It is also held in the unbreakable spirit of the quebradeiras de coco or, “nut-breakers”—the women who, together with their communities, harvest and process babassu nut oil, a rich and versatile ingredient used for cooking oil and cleansing.

P r o d u c t: Smooth Infusion Shampoo and Conditioner BeneFitS: When used together, Smooth Infusion Shampoo and Conditioner smooth and soften hair up to 60 per cent.

BraZil

Aveda’s babassu-derived cleansing system, made with certified organic babassu oil and a guar bean-derived conditioner, softens hair while reducing frizz and unwanted wave. Tamanu oil restores hair’s moisture balance, while Aveda’s unique Plant Infusion—a blend derived from organic aloe, maize and guar bean—creates a smooth surface on each strand of hair. Finally, Aveda’s hydrolyzed wheat protein complex forms a protective barrier on the cuticle to help shield hair from surface damage.

BENEFITS: Maranhão‘s traditional communities of babassu women are among the thousands of individuals whose livelihoods depend on babassu nut oil production. Tragically, their way of life was brutally threatened in the 1970s, when ranchers and gunmen stripped away their rights to gather babassu nuts and burnt vast sections of forest for cattle ranching. However, they could not silence the babassu women. Creating a grassroots collective in protest, the women defended their land and culture by blocking armed gunmen and loggers from their homes. Joining with environmental groups, the women successfully lobbied for local and federal laws prohibiting the clear-cutting of palm forests. Today, the Free Nut Law protects their right to access and harvest babassu nuts. Awed by their integrity and craft, Aveda partnered with the babassu women in 1993. Since then, Aveda has helped finance a babassu processing facility, a soap-making facility, and a paper press. With Aveda’s support, the babassu women have also created a living pharmacy project to produce local plant-based medicines curing 90 per cent of the diseases in their communities. With Aveda’s guidance, babassu women can now market certified organic babassu nuts, which brings an added financial benefit to the nutbreakers while it also furthers Aveda’s mission to source certified organic ingredients. Today, as the value of babassu oil soars, Maranhão communities receive fair revenue for their hard work.

Finding Balance

PHOTO BABAK

s I write this letter I am about to run out the door for a 10-day getaway. And I need it. These days we all work much harder than we ever thought we would. For us in the magazine business, computers were supposed to make our lives easier, and in many ways they have. But in other ways they have made us more accessible to our work than ever before. But part of that is okay, too, because I can take my computer along on this trip and get some work done while still being able to get away from the office. I am trying to find a balance between work and play. Along the vein of balance, your clients come to you for advice regularly on finding the right balance of how to wear their hair, makeup, nails, etc. for their lifestyle. This month, Salon Magazine’s managing editor, Morella Aguirre, helps you sort out the season’s trends in these areas according to what she saw on the fashion runways for fall/winter 2008. See her seasonal trend report on page 47. Along with September come many of the new fall launches from professional beauty manufacturers. These represent the latest technological advancements in beauty products for your clients. Be sure to check out the newest from L’Oréal Professionnel, La Biosthetique, Lakme, Matrix, OPI, CND, Redken, RVB, Schwarzkopf, Star Nail, Sebastian and SST Cosmetics Inc., to name a few. We are now in the throes of the judging process for the 20th Annual Canadian Hairstylist of the Year Awards—the Contessas. And along with that goes the planning for the show this year. With the big anniversary milestone, we are trying to balance the celebration of the past 20 years with this year’s winners and of course the future, as Contessa moves from being a teenager to a mature woman of 20. Again this year, we will be hosting the 2nd Annual Contessa Unplugged session to round out the weekend. We have Vivienne Mackinder, Edwin Johnston and Damien Carney on the slate for a discussion on the creative process—not to be missed. Contessa Unplugged takes place on Monday, November 3. To be sure you take advantage of everything that the Contessas offer, you can book your tickets starting from September 15. Call Candice at 416.869.3131, ext 108 to reserve your place. Having said all that, don’t forget to take time for yourself. Here’s to finding your balance.

hat a whirlwind summer for business travel! Amazingly, unlike what most would assume, things don’t really quiet down in the industry during the hot summer months. There’s always a beehive of activity as everyone prepares to deliver the best products for the big fall season to salons. It’s a part of our industry that beauty pros often don’t see—the trade and commerce side and nitty-gritty inner workings. In fact, it’s my fascination with these behind-the-scenes elements that lured me away from behind the chair years ago. I wanted to learn about the business of beauty. My curiosity continues even today. Like clockwork every July I make my annual pilgrimage to Cosmoprof in Las Vegas, one of North America’s largest industry trade shows. It’s at this massive gathering where new products are revealed, hands are shaken and deals are made. Companies from all over the world participate, allowing our own Canadian distributors to hit the show floor and have access to products from all corners of the world. These are the products that your sales consultant will be bringing into your salons over the next year. As media, our team and I also meet with manufacturers and learn about their latest innovations. This year, one of my favourite get-togethers was with Jan Arnold, founder of CND. Continuing to inspire and motivate even us media types, meeting with Jan is so much fun, as she never fails to share tales of her travels to markets like Russia and give the inside scoop on CND’s work at the top fashion shows in Paris and New York. Another summer event is the Allied Beauty Association’s Annual General Meeting, where ABA members come together to discuss business issues related to our industry. Many beauty pros think of the ABA as the organization that puts on some of Canada’s biggest hair shows. However, the organization does so much more. It actively deals with governmental issues like package labelling, ingredients and diversion. Basically, it’s our industry’s representative for government-related issues. Also, back in June, I attended the Global Salon Business Awards. What a stellar event, gathering salons from all over the world, not only to receive awards, but to network and attend a business seminar hosted by the B.E.S.T Foundation at UCLA’s Anderson School of Management. Canadians continue to show well, too. A big congratulations to Chatters, Picaso Studios, CaVaBien and Zennkai—all winners at this year’s awards.

Super Sleek

Matrix re-launches Sleek.Look with new formulation

leek.Look has long been a long-time salon favourite for hairstylists and clients wanting to achieve that supersmooth, straight look. In fact, the line’s heat damage protector, Iron Smoother, is one the biggest sellers in the Matrix brand. So in an effort to keep its position as a leading brand with consumers, Matrix has reformulated and expanded the Sleek.Look line. Hitting salons this month and formulated with the trade-marked 24 Smooth Multi-Mend Technology, the bigger and better Sleek.Look series includes ingredients like ceramide, apricot oil and shea butter. “This time around, the Sleek. Look line has a new star product, the Miracle Reconstructor, a once-a-week

repairing and protective treatment,” says Nancy Picard, education coordinator for Matrix Canada. “It has an extra boost of vital ingredients to go deep within hair, repair and seal split ends. Also new to the line is the Blow Down Lite Lotion for fine to normal hair and the Blow Down Extreme Lotion for coarse or thick hair— products that decrease blow-drying time and increase protection from high-heat appliances. Sleek.Look also includes a shampoo for all hair types and two types of conditioners, one for fine hair and one for coarse hair. The line is still rounded out with the Iron Smoother and the Sealing Serum, which have a new look and packaging.—SP

Reality Check Redken launches line to deal with highmaintenance hair

ou all have clients with difficult, unruly, highmaintenance hair. in fact, they represent about 18 per cent of North american women, according to redken’s research. For this particular group of clients, redken has created a new line of products called real Control, available to salons this month. “We don’t realize how many clients we have today who fit within this line of care,” says terry ritcey, director of education for redken Canada. “as everyone knows, Canada is a melting pot of ethnicities, and many have hair that we would classify as highmaintenance. it could be extremely thick, coarse, unruly or hard to manage,” he says. then, “with chemical services like colouring and perms and mechanical services like blow-drying and flat ironing, they wreak havoc on their hair,” says

ritcey. “that’s the client base this line is designed to help.” real Control is a full range of six texture-transforming products, with more to come in the future. Currently there is a shampoo and conditioner that provide nourishment, smooth and repair, while gently cleansing and conditioning the hair. they help with detangling even the coarsest hair, leaving it soft, strong and shiny. For more on this line, go to www.salon52.ca.—sp

Organics Plus Technology Farouk introduces their CHI Olive Nutrient Therapy

o green,” says Danielle Couture. The regional sales manager for Farouk Systems Group and CHI, Couture sums up the company’s philosophy in general and their newest product in particular. “The CHI Organics Olive Nutrient Therapy line combines olive ingredients, vitamins, herbs and essential oils that are beneficial to the hair and non-destructive to the environment.” The new line balances ancient health and beauty treatments— in use for over 5,000 years—with the newest advances in technology. “Farouk has long been aware of the benefits of olives,” says Couture. “Olive oil restores the moisture to both dry hair and skin.” This provides conditioning and protection from intense heat, plus it has antioxidant and antibacterial properties that are vital to the hair and skin. In addition to olive oil, Olive Nutrient Therapy is enhanced by 12 key organic nutrients such as basil, chamomile, geranium, peppermint. These organic ingredients, grown without herbicides, add a natural and pure appeal to this line. Lemongrass oil adds the benefit of aromatherapy to each product. “This line is perfect for salons,” adds Couture. “Not only is it a plus for the clients because of the natural, organic quality of the products and how it treats their hair, but it benefits the stylists. It creates a healthier ammonia-free environment, which is what Farouk is aiming for.” Paraben- and sulfate-free, the range of products includes Olive Nutrient Shampoo, Olive Nutrient Conditioner, Olive Nutrient Treatment Paste, Olive Silk Oil, Olive Nutrient Glaze and Olive Nutrient Spritz. “It’s time for manufacturers of beauty products to take responsibility for their planet,” stated Couture. “If we’re going to save the earth, we have to act on every level. And that includes both inside the salon—for our clients and stylists--and outside in the environment. That is the goal for Farouk.”—PF

Lakmé Cosmetics introduces K.style For Spanish hair care company Lakmé, not having a comprehensive finishing line to complement its hair spa, scalp therapy and colour products felt a little like unfinished business. Today, the brand is rounding out its portfolio with the introduction of K.style, a full range of styling and finishing products. In keeping with the Lakmé’s ideology of high-quality, nutritive hair care, K.style promises to maintain and protect hair’s integrity with gentle and therapeutic formulations. The key ingredient in the line is a grape seed antioxidant complex, a defensive compound combining grape seed extracts and vitamin E. Lakmé’s High Affinity System allows active ingredients to penetrate deep into hair fibre, working in conjunction with antioxidants to protect hair from environmental and heat damage.

Though the line has all these restorative traits, K.style is all about creating long-lasting, Barcelonaclubland-inspired hair. It promises tamed curls, marathon textures and effects, gravity-defying volume and a sense of control in even the most humid of climates. In other words, K.style is for those demanding total control and high-style looks, but with a good dose of damage control. K.style consists of five series: Fix Plus, a range of three extreme-hold stylers; Smooth & Shine, four polishing and finishing agents; Style Control, a sixproduct mid-range hold series; Thick & Volume, consisting of a volume boosting lotion and mousse; and the Hottest line, an eight-product sub-line containing a full range of stylers and offering both matte and glossy finishes.—MA

annequin heads, one of the most useful tools for training hairstyling students, are becoming an additional cost to beauty schools. And according to most experts, it’s all about the hair. “Mannequin heads use real hair from India and China,” says Stephen Chung, president of the distributor NP Group. “In the past, young women in these countries sold their hair to earn money because they had few other sources of income. However, economics are shifting, and different opportunities for work are now available to these women. Growing and selling their hair is not their first option.” Dino Cairo, from the distributor Pivot Point Canada, agrees. “The problem is definitely about the human hair used—it is an actual commodity in certain countries. The matter is one of supply and demand. The supply is decreasing while the demand is increasing.” He points to the explosion in the hair extension business, which has created a huge demand for human hair that never existed before. Not only has the demand increased, but the supply diminished. “Women in these countries want to look attractive,” says Chung. “They are interested in hair and makeup and want to look fashionable. They no longer want to grow their hair for years and sell it.” There are alternatives to working with human hair. According to Cairo, one option is a 30 per cent bio-fibre mix with 70 per cent human hair. “Unfortunately working with human hair provides the best results for students,” he adds. “Schools are now having to sit back and re-evaluate their curriculum, how to do more cuts on one mannequin and work in mock applications.” What are the solutions? “There is no way to predict what the future holds,” says Cairo. “The distributors and schools are not the only ones affected. The manufacturers of these mannequin heads right now are shouldering a significant part of the cost increase.”—PF

colour

Art meets ego

Artego colours with an environmental twist

rtego, an Italian-made colour line, has been in the Canadian market for about two years. “The name represents a balance between the colourist, his or her artistic skills and the environmentally friendly technology used in the line,” says Lynn Zuzek, artistic director for Artego Canada. “The Artego It’s Color system is formulated with 30 per cent less ammonia than most colour lines,” adds Zuzek. “This translates to less irritation for clients and colourists alike— and it’s better for the environment.” Containing 104 permanent and 57 demipermanent shades, the line has many colours formulated for brunettes, since dark hair is prevalent in the line’s home country. It includes a violet black, which allows stylists to colour at a level one black with a glowing sheen. It also boasts a bronze series—a copper-blue-based range that neutralizes orange tones in brown pigment and creates beautiful bronze tones on hair. All of the developers are infused with milk

proteins, calendula for soothing the skin and Scots pine, which is used in homeopathic remedies for asthmatics. Artego’s colour tubes come in large, more eco-conscious 5.1 oz. packages (instead of the typical 1.5 to 3 oz tubes). Lightener comes in a refillable, onetime-purchase 2.2 lb tin container. Bags of lightener refills can be purchased to replenish the tin. Zuzek, who has been using Artego for about a year, spends five days a week on the road teaching technical classes for the line. On Saturdays she’s back in the salon applying the colour to her own clients’ hair. She says this gives her that hands-on understanding of the colour’s performance. “Artego contains a double-density translucent molecule,” she explains, “which means you can apply shades from scalp to ends on the most porous hair and the result is seamless. No dark ends, no overtone.” For more information call Artego Canada at 888.735.4247 or visit www.salon52.ca.—SP

Absolutely anti-age Schwarzkopf re-launches enhanced-formula Igora Royal Absolutes

s your clients age, their desire to maintain a youthful image increases. Especially with the boomer generation, this has created a demand and need for more and more anti-aging products. “Igora Royal Absolutes continues to deliver 100 per cent white hair coverage without having to add a natural shade,” says Amanda Capobianco, brand manager for Schwarzkopf Professional’s Igora colour line. New to the Igora Royal Absolutes is the addition of the Biotin-S Anti-Age Technology. This unique complex of vitamin B7 (biotin) and silica strengthens and restores by filling in the gaps in the hair’s structure to ensure perfect hair pigment coverage. “The range has been created to suit any age and delivers brilliant colour intensity to restore hair that may have lost its vitality over the years,” adds Capobianco. “The microfine concentrated colour pigments offer perfectly predictable colour results on all levels of white hair.” But most of all, the good news is that Igora Royal Absolutes is now available in 15 highfashion shades, making it a perfect shade range for your clients who are concerned with anti-aging. As of this month, the line now has four new gold shades, two new auburn shades and one new copper shade in addition to its original line of eight reds and browns.—SP

make men Over The top 5 cosmetic surgeries for men By Chantel Simmons

hinking about a fall tuneup? A little nip around the nipple, a tuck around the tush? Here’s a rundown of the top five surgeries* North American men had last year. Love handles, be gone!

> LiposucTion What it is: This procedure removes fatty tissue from your problem areas, such as tummy, chest, thighs, arms or even neck and chin. How it’s done: Typically performed under general anesthesia, liposuction takes three forms. In tumescent lipo, the doctor makes a small incision in the skin, then inserts a thin tube that breaks down and suctions out fatty tissue. In ultrasoundassisted liposuction, sound waves dislodge fat cells, which are then removed. This process reduces blood loss and bruising. It’s most effective in areas where the tissue is fibrous, such as the male breast. Power-assisted liposuction uses special equipment to give the suction device the power necessary to remove fat, rather than using the physician’s personal force and energy. Cost: $3,000 to $10,000.

> EyELid surgEry

> nosE Job What it is: Whether the problem due to injury or genes, a nose can be surgically corrected to alter the size, shape and alignment. How it’s done: Depending on the characteristics of your nose, your doctor will choose either the open or closed method of surgery. In the open method, an incision is made across the skin between the nostrils. This allows the surgeon to see the internal structure of your nose better. While this may allow the surgeon to operate with greater precision and ease, there will be more swelling, and it will take longer to recover. In the closed method, used for less difficult cases, no external incision is made. Cost: $6,000 to $9,200.

> MaLE brEasT rEducTion What it is: Excess breast tissue—usually caused by a combination of diet, heredity and aging—can be removed to give a firmer, flatter chest. How it’s done: The surgery can be performed in two ways: a small incision may be made under the nipple and excess tissue surgically excised, or

salon > september 08

liposuction is performed through a similar incision at the edge of the nipple. Ultrasonic lipo has proved particularly effective in this procedure. To get the best results, liposuction and excision are often combined. Cost: $2,500 to $6,000.

> Hair TranspLanT What it is: For men or women sensitive about their hair loss, transplants can help restore hair growth and self-esteem. A hair transplant physician should be consulted to recommend the best course of treatment. How it’s done: Hair is removed from the donor area and isolated into single- or two-haired grafts, which are then planted close together to provide a more natural look. You may have a single treatment or choose to revisit, depending on the amount of donor hair that you have left. Cost: $3,000 to $14,000 per session.

What it is: Blepharoplasty removes fatty tissue and tightens sagging skin around the eye. This popular procedure can be performed on your upper eyelids, lower eyelids or both during the same appointment. How it’s done: An incision is made on your upper eyelid, hidden in the crease. On your lower eyelid, the incision is made just below your lash line. Skin is then separated from the underlying tissue and muscle, and excess fat and skin are trimmed or removed. Cost: Upper lid: $3,500; lower lid: $3,500; combination: $6,000.

collection featuring wearable styles that are still elegant. Generally, we get our inspiration from different elements that surround us, like music, magazines, designers, different cities we visit and the people we see on the street. We like to stay in touch with what’s going on in the different capitals of the world, like London, Paris, NYC and Berlin, where there’s a constant renewal of ideas and trends. All these elements have really defined our look and helped us stay up-to-date and contemporary. For this collection, we were really inspired by street style. We wanted to create a very urban, everyday look, a timeless collection with a modern twist. We called it Divine because it speaks to ultra-feminine, urban, sophisticated women who pride themselves on being on trend. We based our Hair: Olivier Miotto, Didier Cousin, Alexandre Hatami, Sabrina Simeone Colour: Genevieve Pichet, Shirley Jehanne Makeup: Julie Chabot, Jessica Manzo. Wardrobe: Chantal Bessette.

ccording to Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top designers, fall/ winter 2008 is all about town versus country. Lines like Comrags and Gsus fell for landscape-insprired hues and fuzzy fur trims. Meanwhile, city folks like Pink Tartan, Joeffer Coac and David Dixon were caught up designing for club-going goth girls and chic city women. Finally, there were those who just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t decide and, like Paul Hardy, sent girls down the runway in a mix of furs, feathers and hardcore attitude.

merging from two distinct parts of the world, Britain’s Damien Carney and Nanaimo, B.C.’s Edwin Johnston each found their latest muse in one exotic place: the strong and diverse silhouettes of the people, landscape and wildlife of Africa. Even though their inspiration was derived from the same source, Carney’s Afrique and Johnston’s Mannequin Noir remain two wildly different collections. t

hen Damien Carney, Joicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s international artistic director, last visited Africa, he found inspiration in Eliot Elisofonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s photographic depiction of African art and culture in the book La Sculpture Africaine. Carney decided to create his own visual interpretation of this magestic continent. The result is a gorgeous collection titled Afrique. Photographing it over a year ago with long time creative partners Sue Pemberton and Hama Sanders, Carney recently released his Afrique collection to international acclaim. Like the sculptures that inspired them, the photos focus on human form, sculputural shapes and visual abstraction. Through the use of natural textures and hairpieces, Carney weaves an intricate web of shapes, lines, curves and colours. Combining bold makeup and wardrobe, he gives Afrique a very sensual feeling that is hauntingly true to its namesake.

Working with both natural hair and afro extensions, Johnston used clippers to sculpt geometric shapes with softened edges that recall the wizened, flat-topped trees synonymous with the savannah. “It was all about the hair,” says Johnston, Canadian artistic director for KMS California. “No clothing, just strong body shapes with exaggerated hair styles.” The collection, which uses natural hair pigments and relies on cloud-like shaping to make a statement, is full of gravitydefying, earthy inspiration. “Living on Vancouver Island, I don’t often come into contact with black hair,” Johnston says. “I think it’s very important for people to try different things and experiment with different looks.”

Inspired by this concept, which started in Paris, L’Oréal Professionnel is launching a line of products under the name of Texture Expert. These products offer stylists the tools to transform specific hair textures. No longer limited by the styling possibilities of the texture itself, stylists can customize their creations according to every client’s texture. “We are really excited about this line because it truly grasps the essence of what L’Oréal Professionnel is all about,” says Minh-Dan Tran, marketing manager for L’Oréal Professionnel. “It reinforces our expertise in technology by being able to treat the hair while offering the ideal tools to stylists to make their job easier. It’s also in complete alignment with our Paris origins through the haute couture aspect.” Comprised of three hair-texture-specific sublines, Texture Expert caters to fine/limp, medium/ thick or coarse/rebellious hair, with a collection of five styling products for the first two hair categories and four products for the third. There’s also a finishing collection of three products with varying degrees of control. One is for building a base of volume and structural support, the second is for creating lasting form, construction and strong control, and the third offers superior control that will achieve haute couture effects. Photographed by Leda & St-Jacques, here we bring you a collection of images created by L’Oréal Professionnel’s Canadian artistic team to showcase some of the styling possibilities of Texture Expert.

Bohemian Rhapsody La Biosthetique strays from cultural conformity

the bohemians. These wayfaring artists and intellectuals who stand in opposition

to the bourgeois and embody an alternative and unconventional cool are La Biosthetiqueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s muses for its Digital Bohemian collection. Ranging from androgynous to graphic, the four trends that make up the collection draw on sleek, Art Deco-type lines that represent urban life outside the mainstream and fit in with fallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sophisticated and sombre colour palette. GeBo, Urban, MidGap and PopDandy are angular and purposely imperfect. The cuts have texture that appears shattered and slightly jagged without abandoning maturity. Block colouring is used to express utility and a slight severity, while gold, beige and violet tints temper that rigour with a playful edge.

Eco STAr Star Nail introduces its first eco-conscious line

et’s face it: offering your nail enhancement clients a green alternative is not easy. What’s more, most eco-minded ladies tend to believe that going au naturelle is the only way to keep a healthy world, mind and body. Although the days of overexposure to harsh chemicals are long gone in the nail industry, your typical organiceating, reusable-bag-carrying ecoholic would still rather avoid wearing gel or acrylic enhancements altogether. Star Nail is looking to narrow the gap between eco- and healthconscious clients and the nail enhancement sector with its first ecominded nail kit, the new Eco Nail Systems. Including products for both the natural nail and for creating nail enhancements, Eco Nail includes Eco Calcium Gel (to strengthen nail natural nails), Eco Gel Overlay (to reduce breakage), Eco Powder and Gel System (for a clear gel finish with the strength of a powder) and Eco Powder and Liquid System (for traditional enhancements). So what’s so eco about the Eco Nail line? It features a completely odour free formula—making your salon environment gentler on a client’s sense of smell—and recyclable, eco-friendly packaging. This means that even if hardcore earth junkies are unlikely to accept this line as being totally green, Eco Nail is a great step towards a healthier salon/spa environment. It proves that nail manufacturers are in tune with market trends and with the need to protect the earth. And it’s a great alternative for any nail tech who’s ever heard a client say, “Wow, that smell really hit me when I walked in.”

Green Thinking Looking for more eco-friendly goods? Here are a few of the latest. Made with 83 per cent organic and vegan ingredients, SpaRituals new moisturizing lotions are part of the brand’s Chakra Care System of relaxation. Available in three formulations, one featuring eucalyptus, one with geranium and one with frankincense. Visit www.sparitual.com.

SpaRitual’s new Inspired collection features deep, shimmering lacquers for fall/winter 2008. As usual, all SpaRitual polishes are vegan, free of DBP, toluene and formaldehyde and packaged in an earth-friendly way. Visit www.sparitual.com. 72

ESTHETICS

Zone Solution

n a very savvy initiative, licensed Dermalogica skin therapists across the country have been booking clients for Dermalogica’s MicroZone Treatments: 20 minute problem-zapping sessions that quickly target, reduce and speed recovery of everything from zone-specific breakouts to all-over dehydration or stubborn congestion. Clients can book treatments like Flash Exfoliation (giving the skin a refreshed glow), Eye Treatments (erasing dark circles, de-puffing, firming or reducing fine lines) and Occasional Breakouts, to name a few. This concept combines a short time frame with targeted skin treatment, making it perfect for clients who are committed to skin care but have limited time for services. In other words, estheticians can probably expect to treat MicroZone clients often and send them home with appropriate care products. A great combination for any esthetics business.—SP

Scandinavian Soak & Scrub

The latest additions to caring for clients’ feet, hands and body from Nordic Care are the Herbal Soak and Sea Salt Scrub. With a blend of moisturizing vitamins, rich oils and marine-based curative botanicals, the Herbal Soak can be used for full body bath, feet or hand services. Lactic acid helps loosen dead skin cells while moisturizing. The Sea Salt Scrub has a blend of Scandinavian extracts and natural sea salts that warm and exfoliate rough, dry skin on hands and feet. Extracts of thyme leaf, lovage leaf (from the parsley family), caraway seed and elderberry are just some of the ingredients that help cleanse and restore the skin. Both products can be used alone or in conjunction with each other. For more info on the complete line, go to www.salon52.ca. —SP

One and Only The new One Care line from Italian beauty company RVB offers easy to use and versatile products for in-salon and at-home care. Employing natural active ingredients with targeted results, the line is ideal for cleansing, regenerating and treating problem skin. Featured here, the 2-in-1 Milk & Toner is a multi-purpose makeup remover for face, eyes and lips. It removes all traces of makeup in a single step, toning the skin and adding a glow.

Tanning Trends Why things are looking up

jupiterimages

recent survey conducted online by Smart Tan for international salons, including those in Canada, indicated that nearly 75 per cent of tanning businesses met or exceeded their expectations in the first months of this year. This upsurge in business appears to have a few causes. “Previously, tanning was all about appearance. Our industry was focused on the 18-to-25 year-old age group,” says Steve Gilroy, director of Smart Tan Canada. “But now we also have an entirely different group—an older group—who are concerned about vitamin D.” According to Gilroy, vitamin D testing has increased by 10 times because people are seeing the vital health benefits it provides. According to Nik VanHaeren from Uvalux Canada, customers are tanning more responsibly and educating themselves on the pros and cons. “Countries with sunnier climates have fewer flu bugs and lower rates of colon cancer.” Vitamin D has also been linked with reducing the risk of breast cancer and named as a preventative for multiple sclerosis. Canada has one of the highest rates of MS in the world. “I think people are seeing tanning as a combination of health and appearance benefits,” says VanHaeren. Gilroy agrees. “What was always perceived as a beauty industry is now shifting towards a therapeutic industry. For every death caused by skin cancer, there are 59 caused by vitamin D deficiency. This problem increases dramatically north of the 39th parallel.” VanHaeren also points out that economic factors are affecting the tanning business. “People don’t want to spend money on expensive holidays, so they are having a ‘staycation.’ And if they’re going to stay at home, tanning is definitely an affordable luxury.” The general improvement many tanning businesses have seen also reflects owners who are using the information on vitamin D to their advantage. “They are learning as much as possible,” says VanHaeren, “and educating their staff, who are in turn educating their clients. This keeps people coming back.”—PF

PROFILE

Canadian Idol Tony Masciangelo is one of Canada’s top editorial stylists, but how did he land his premier status? Alison McGill gets up close and personal with the superstar.

How do you balance your demanding career? “I’ve spent most of my career working on photo sets, all of it behind the chair, and I wouldn’t change that—it’s what keeps me fresh and grounded. Every day I’m behind the chair, I get to practise and evolve my style. The salon is my mothership. It has everything I need and it’s a place where I feel very at home.”

huge art lover and have been known to draw inspiration for hair from shapes in paintings I love. I read and I travel a lot and find lots of inspiration from the places I go.” You’re not just a hairstylist, but a makeup artist, too. When did you start doing makeup? “It’s something I’ve basically always done. When I started shooting, I realized I had a total vision for my pictures and doing my own makeup made sense. It became an integral part of my branding because it set me apart from other artists. Today magazines want people who can do both because it saves time and money.” Define your style. “Typically, I’m the go-to-guy for soft, structured hair, rock ’n’ roll looks and gorgeous, milky skin!” Favourite place you’ve travelled to? “Paris.

I was on top of the world the day I got the call!” Beauty musts while on set? “For hair, L’Oréal Elnette Supreme Hold hairspray, Davines Volume Mousse and my Mason Pearson brush. For makeup, my secret moisturizer, Giorgio Armani foundation and volumizing mascara.” Any advice for stylists wanting to be the next Tony Masciangelo? “It’s all about the hustle. You’ve got to be savvy about branding yourself and be a service-oriented, hard-working professional. It’s that simple. When things start happening, consider joining an agency that will manage and promote you. Agents are the people magazines typically deal with to find their shoot talent.” S

aria, Lisa Cant, Heather Marks and Liisa Winkler are just a few of the supermodels you’ll find in Tony Masciangelo’s portfolio; ladies he’s primped and preened for magazines including Flare, FASHION, FQ, Elle Canada, Weddingbells and Vanity Fair. “Having these girls in my book is one of the most rewarding things about my job,” Tony smiles. “Being on set with amazing models, photographers and magazine editors definitely has its glam moments, but it’s certainly not all glamour. It’s unbelievably intense work, and to be successful, you need to do it because you absolutely love it.” When I met with the Toronto-based Masciangelo (who’s represented by the artist agency Plutino Group) to chat about his career, he’d just returned from back-to-back trips to Dublin and Lake Louise, working on jobs for Harry Rosen and Flare,

respectively. He tells me both gigs were brilliant, the photos fabulous, but also that life on the road can be tiring, especially when you’re in the throes of opening a new business. An 18-year industry veteran, Masciangelo will open The Alcorn Salon, his first venture into salon ownership (he co-owns The Alcorn with Darren Z. and Jed Puznak, who’s also his life partner) in late September. “We are so excited,” Tony says. “The Alcorn is all about good hair, enjoyed in a luxe, low-key environment.” So what makes this style star tick? He spills his secrets in this candid Q&A.

tand on the corner of Yonge Street and St. Clair Avenue in uptown Toronto and you can’t help notice the number of ladies walking into Michael Kluthe. The women-only salon, which opened in 1967 in an 1,800-square-feet space, has drastically grown in size and popularity since its original opening. It’s now 6,500 square feet, and owner and namesake Michael Kluthe attributes his success to outstanding customer service. A 2008 Contessa Awards finalist for salon interior design, Kluthe says many salons invest a lot of money into design and décor. “Looking good can make a client feel special, but the way you design a salon can also affect how your business functions.” Sandra Fiore, president of Lanvain Design International (Ontario), was asked to update the design with modern touches. “Whatever I suggested or changed, it had to be easy to clean and maintain and had to improve service,” she explains. At the front entrance, a glass partition wall was installed behind the new white quartz (man-made stone) reception desk with enough space for one person to sit and take calls. “This allows the other reception staff to give their undivided attention to clients arriving and leaving,” Fiore explains. Kluthe adds that this is an example of how design can enhance service. Retail shelves beside the reception were updated with sandblasted glass to disguise dust and fingerprints. A similar type of glass was placed in front of colour stations to hold beverages. While most salons have an open concept layout, Michael Kluthe is departmentalized. To the left of reception, there are three change rooms for clients. The shampoo room holds a row of white back wash sinks with black reclining chairs. A colour-coded smock system helps the army of staff stay organized: clients wearing grey smocks are escorted to one of two styling rooms while those wearing black ones are directed to colour.

The colour area can see up to 80 clients in one day. On either side of this area are wooden units with a built-in seating bench in front and drawers holding supplies behind. And there’s enough space underneath for storing trolleys. There are also two mixing rooms—one for colour and another for bleach. In the bleaching room, an exhaust fan helps decrease the amount of fumes. In the larger styling room, Kluthe brought in a complete cosmetic showcase. Fiore updated the cutting stations by installing white handle-less push-and-popout drawers for a sleek, modern look. White floor tiles were replaced by hardwood laminate with a vinyl finish. “If something spills, a quick wipe prevents staining, making it easier to maintain,” Kluthe explains. New lighting tracks outline the edges of each room. Natural light shining through the front and back windows is a main light source, but Fiore added modernized fluorescents, colour corrected for a salon environment. Dimmed lights line the long beauty centre (spa) hallway. You won't find rows of pedicure thrones or clients in conversation at manicure tables here. Instead, clients get their own treatment room called a cabin. “It's personalized service without the socialization element you find now at many salon spas," Kluthe says. S

Changing gears from breakers to ballerinas, L’Oréal Professionnel hosted a ballet-themed cocktail party raising almost $10,000 for the National Ballet School. Ballerina models sported six signature chignon styles created for Luminato by L’Oréal Professionnel artists.

LAST WORD

If the Shoe Fits John Steinberg talks fashion versus comfort

their shoes. For the past few years I’ve opted for casual slip-on shoes for their comfort quotient, but of course they still have to be fashionable. Standing Comfort, an American shoe company that sells sensible but unappealing footwear online, has the following to say about the importance of being well shod when standing for long hours:

• Properly designed footwear keeps your muscles in balance and helps strengthen the ligaments in your feet, legs and back

• With good support for your feet, you tire less easily • Stable footwear prevents the ankles from rotating in or out, •

keeping the body aligned and comfortable A healthy, aligned body promotes a healthy, happy attitude

Fortunately, there’s another way to take the strain off your feet and other body parts. At the beginning of this decade I started noticing younger hairdressers sitting on stools to cut hair. This surprised me, since I was raised on the tradition of the masterful hairdresser who stands above the client. But being the sort of chap who believes in taking a lesson from the young, I decided to try it myself. While I still prefer standing up for excessive layering and for cutting long hair (where I also ask the client to stand so I’m working on proportion at a good eye level) I must say that I strongly recommend being seated to cut a bob, or the classic men's scissorsover-comb short back and sides It’s all about eye-level, allowing for greater precision—not to mention avoiding chronic body pain later on in life and still wearing shoes built for fashion.

hat hairdresser doesn’t love shoes? As a willing slave to fashion, I have certainly had my fair share of the cobbler’s last (the form on which a shoe is constructed). In London in the early 1960s I wore winklepickers, a style with a very long sharp-pointed toe, worn in Britain by male and female rock ’n’ roll types. The name “winklepickers” came about because in England a sharp pointed object was used to pick a winkle, a kind of small sea snail, out of its shell so you could eat it. (And we thought the French were weird for eating land snails! But I digress…) The stylists I worked with and admired took this fashion very seriously, going to a special shoemaker to have their winklepickers made to measure, with extended points. Alas, a lowly assistant, I had to make do with ordinary shop-bought ones. During the mid-1970s, when glam rock reigned supreme, I stood for eight to 10 hours a day cutting hair in my platform shoes. They say you have to suffer to be beautiful, but this was just plain ridiculous. The end of every workday yielded aching legs, shoulders and back. You’d think I’d know better, since as a child I have a clear memory of being taken to a Bata shoe shop in Hendon, northwest London, to buy shoes that fit me properly. We went to that particular shop because it had a large box-like X-ray machine to put your feet into, to see exactly how your toes fit inside the shoes you’d tried on. Years later, in 1995, when I attended the opening of Toronto’s wonderful Bata Shoe Museum (the only shoe museum in North America), I told Mr. Bata of my childhood experience. “That was one of the last shops that had that,” he replied. Pity. You never truly know someone until you have walked a mile in their shoes. I think this old saying should be adapted for hairdressers: You never truly know someone until you have stood for hours in
