BOUNCE BACK Help your clients fall in love with their curls again with the Kenra Curl collection.

Kenra’s first professional system for curly hair addresses the many needs of your curly-haired clients. With five new products, the collection is good for all curl types, from loose waves to springy spirals. The Curl Co-Wash purifies and hydrates for a natural bounce, while the Curl Refresher conditioner is lightweight, so it doesn’t weigh curls down. For clients with dry hair, the revitalizing Curl Styling Conditioner can be washed out or left in, depending on stiff, crunchy feel, and the Curl Control Gel adds a protective moisture barrier for a workable finish. The collection is formulated without sulfates or parabens and can be used on colour- and chemically treated hair.

BACK TO THE BASICS Beach vacations and weekend pool parties can take a toll on your client’s hair, but Malibu C’s home care lineup is one way to healthier hair.

By providing the right home care products, your clients can achieve and maintain healthy hair. As hairstylists know, “prescribing home customized regimens for home hair care is especially important for clients with colourtreated hair,” says Tom Porter, founder of Malibu C, adding that what happens at home can have an impact on the results you can achieve in the salon. For Porter, the brand’s Scalp Therapy Wellness Remedy is a gentle yet effective home care treatment that most clients will see benefits from, including a healthier scalp and improvement in the integrity of the hair, especially after time spent in salt and chlorinated waters.

The Gold Standard Give hair the golden touch with Oribe’s Gold Lust Dry Shampoo.

The brand’s new dry shampoo helps extend blowouts, cleanse hair and prevent damage. The translucent powder absorbs dirt and oil from the hair and scalp, while the product’s fragranceretention technology helps hair retain the shampoo’s signature scent all day long. The product is formulated without parabens, sulfates or sodium chloride, provides UV protection and is safe to use on colour-treated and keratin-treated hair.

To use, shake well and spray eight to 10 inches from the scalp. Spread through the hair using your fingers or a brush until the product has been completely absorbed, resulting in a clean, weightless and healthy-looking finish.

MOBILE MAKEOVERS La Rousse Espace Beauté launches La Rousse Mobile with Revlon Professional.

Since summer, the La Rousse Mobile Airstream has been zooming through the streets of Montreal. This innovative project led by Sophie Tessier, owner of La Rousse Espace Beauté, and Andrea Gomez, head of makeup and manicure for La Rousse Mobile, is inspired by the popularity of food trucks and offers several professional beauty services and packages on the go. With three hairstyling chairs, one for makeup and two stations for manicures, La Rousse Mobile offers services using Revlon Professional Style Masters, American Crew and CND Vinylux products in a beautiful, minimal and modern decor.

them embrace darker tones. “People tend to shy away from dark nails because they feel like it’s gothic, but if you accessorize properly, they can actually look quite chic, clean and elegant,” says John Nguyen, CND education ambassador.

Denim may be a year-round wardrobe staple, but it has now become the latest trend in hair colour.

“Denim hair colours are so versatile and flattering on any type of skin

colour and eye colour,” says Deborah Evans, education sales manager for Joico. “What’s unique about denim hair is that it can be less bright and a more natural semi- or demi-permanent colour option.”

THE DENIM EFFECT As one of the 2016 Pantone Colours of the Year, Serenity is a tranquil cool blue shade that has helped ignite the denim hair trend.

For clients looking for a serene multi-tonal denim colour, Evans blue for a colour-melting effect.

“With the denim hair trend, we have the ability to create different dimensions without adding as much of the blue, so it’s not such a shocking colour,” she explains. Denim hair isn’t just about the blues either. Just like denim jeans, greyish blues and greyish whites are also considered to be denim hair colours.

While the key to creating a multi-dimensional denim look is using a combination of semi- or demi-permanent colour tones, pre-lightening the hair to a level nine or 10 can help prepare the hair for a true denim result.

“When you’re pre-lightening the hair, it’s important to even out the

GETTING IT RIGHT To find the right denim shade for your client, Evans says it all comes down to the consultation to address the client’s lifestyle, hair maintenance and condition.

“I think the consultation is something stylists really need to come back to and spend more time on. It’s not just about what we’re going to do to the client’s hair that day but her home maintenance aspect as well,” she

TOP 3 COSMETIC SURGERIES:

GOING ALL THE

WAY

When non-surgicals are no longer working for you, the top surgical procedures for facial rejuvenation are sure to do the trick.

BY CATALINA MARGULIS

G

etting older is supposed to be about growing up and taking charge of our lives. And yet, as we age, a host of uncontrollable factors contributes to our increasingly older look. Drooping of the forehead, loss of collagen and elastin, bulging fat deposits and bone loss contribute to a sagging, lacklustre appearance.

Thank Venus we’re not completely helpless. When it comes to chasing a younger-looking complexion, injectables, fillers and non-invasive, non-surgical procedures have been all the rage this past decade.

Still, there’s no denying the fact that, at some point sooner or later, in the hunt for rejuvenation, some of us will have to face the knife.

Fortunately, when all other non-invasive options have been exhausted, there is yet a host of procedures that can help us attain the seemingly unattainable: youthful-looking skin that looks more like we feel. Forever 21? As long as we can help it.

LOOKING UP UPPER/LOWER EYELID LIFTS “The most popular anti-aging surgery for both men and women is blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery,” says Dr. Jerome Edelstein, MD, FRCSC, a Toronto plastic surgeon. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, eyelid lifts and facelifts are among the top three facial cosmetic plastic surgery procedures. Forehead lifts are also common, with 42,119 cases in 2014.

“It’s likely that blepharoplasty is so popular because aging is often first noticed in the area around the eyes, but it also tends to require less downtime than other anti-aging procedures,” says Dr. Edelstein, who adds that most

PSST, HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT… When you’re styling clients’ hair, we all know the conversation can get pretty personal, so the next time your clients complain about their latest beauty issue (maybe sagging jowls or forehead lines), tell them to pick up Elevate Magazine for cosmetic and anti-aging solutions.

people seek out blepharoplasty in their 40s to 60s, with the average age being 50.

The procedure involves an incision made in the upper eyelid crease or, for the lower eyelid, just below the eyelashes or on the back of the eyelid. Fat is removed or repositioned to decrease bagginess, and excess skin is removed to tighten skin. In the lower eyelid, the muscle can also be tightened. Although the risks are minimal, says Dr. Edelstein, bruising and swelling are common. He notes that scarring, infection, bleeding and eyelid malposition can also take place, though they’re uncommon.

HIGH HOPES FOREHEAD LIFTS “If your eyebrows are very, very low and Botox and fillers, which are usually great for eyebrows, don’t work, then you can do either an endoscopic or open brow lift,” says Dr. Michael Weinberg, BSc, MSc, MD, FRCSC, a Toronto plastic surgeon. “Men have heavy brows, so they benefit most from having a brow lift.”

With the brow lift, you can either have an endoscopic procedure, with a few short incisions (one on the midline and one on either side), or a larger incision across the top of the head. “We pull the eyebrows up and take the muscle between the eyes where the 11s are, so you’ll never need Botox again,” he says. “If you do it early enough and you don’t have wrinkles, you’ll never get them.”

FACE THE MUSIC FACELIFTS “Facelifts are much less common now because of the explosion of non-surgicals, and the patients are older than they used to be 10 years ago, typically in their late 50s and early 60s,” says Dr. Weinberg. The procedure usually involves tightening up the fascia around the muscles. “You make an incision just behind the ear, lift up the skin and underneath is the fascia. And then you sew that layer and tighten it.”

Dr. Weinberg says that facelifts share the risks of any surgical procedure, along with risk of injury to the facial nerve, but that’s really rare.

“Certainly it’s never been safer to do those surgeries than now,” he says.

THE STREET CONQUERS After the explosion of punk, plenty of other youth quakes send aftershocks over the world with their unique mix of fashion codes, colours and defining hairstyles: rasta and hip hop (locks, dreadlocks, braids and mini ‘fros) gothic (violet-black, dramatic), Kawaii (which means “cute” in Japanese and mainly focuses on doll-like beauty) and now, more than ever, cosplay (dressing-up as superheroes and game characters, in which wigs play, obviously, a major role).

June Croken, a hairstylist and owner of Hairdresser on Fire in Toronto, has always been inspired by the street “as it represents a borrow from the past and a contrasting element to create a fresh new breath of air.” For her, current hairstyling trends more than ever incorporate elements taken from the street: “Today’s special is as inclusive as it gets. One may dress up or dress down the tresses without a second guess. No longer are trends absolute. You can be natural and organic or slick and severe.” says Croken. Sign of the times: Kylie Jenner is killing it on Instagram with fresh new locks every day via ombré, rainbow tresses and wigs galore.

For Mascolo, the goal in modern hairdressing is to create a savvy blend of styles. “Street style is for the public and avant-garde is more for the hairdresser, so I really try to keep a balance between both.”

FALL PREVIEW With the huge prevalence of athletic wear, often dubbed “athleisure,” everywhere, more women (and, yes, men too) want hair that encapsulates the fitness lifestyle by being more natural and undone.

“Absolutely!” echoes Joey Marchese, Essential Looks Artist for Schwarzkopf Professional and senior stylist at bob + paige salon in Toronto. “The idea is that you’re coming back from the gym or your yoga class, so your hair is not too perfect or too shiny. For fall 2016, it’s all about matte and gritty-looking textures.”

According to Marchese, more aggressive, longer

PHOTOS: TIGI, INSTAGRAM, HAIR & COLOUR : JOEY MARCHESE, MAKEUP: MICHELLE LOS, STYLING : GEMMA CAPONE, PHOTO: EMA SUVAJAC

pieces of hair and a contrast between long and short will be components of these street-style looks. “There’s a little bit of the mullet coming back.” The idea here is that hair is super-easy and super-fast to style, and that clients are willing to play more with their natural texture.

According to Marchese, “Brightly coloured fringes are also going to be huge this fall, particularly with green and yellow tones for some brightness that contrasts with darker hair. The goal of this fringe is to have a section of your hair that is more “done,” blow-dried and very well cut, while the rest of the hair stays more natural.”

And in terms of anti-establishment colour trends, we’re moving away from greyish pastels towards greenish tones. “I’m seeing a lot more of these browns infused with greens on the street where our salon is located,” says Marchese.

THE PLAYBOOK ON

MEN Cross long and loose hair with water-based pomade and what do you get? A cool hairstyle that’s inspired by your client’s favourite athlete.

By Anna Lee Boschetto

F

rom fitness pros to soccer stars, more men are taking style cues from their favourite athletes. It’s been a growing trend that has been on the radar among men’s hairstylists. As Chad

Taylor, co-owner of Moods Hair Salon in Vancouver, notes, it has been propelled forward thanks to the “resurgence of the sportswear esthetic gaining popularity in street fashion and is inspired by designers like Rick Owens.”

Here’s why you need to get on board with the current trend and boost your men’s clientele.

WHAT IT IS With classic, polished looks remaining popular over the past few years, many of Taylor’s clients have been looking for a new direction, and these athlete-inspired looks offer an undone esthetic. “A true athletic look is cropped but with a natural texture,” explains Paul Pereira, Essential Looks Artist for Schwarzkopf Professional, “and, Slick, precision cuts work well on and off the field

depending on your client’s age, some will want it longer but with natural movement.” Soccer players, including Sweden’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic, have also inspired some men to be more adventurous, tying longer hair with pieces of leather.

Without question, David Beckham paved the way for athletes who wanted to up their style game. “Soccer players like Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo, Sweden’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Italy’s Graziano Pellè, are all really having more fun with their style,” says Pereira, adding that brands like Nike and Adidas have a cool factor that has translated to runway collections. Both Pereira and Taylor concur that the rise of the athlete-inspired look is due to the resurgence of athletic looks on and off the runway. In addition, Taylor says that these

WHY IT’S POPULAR

texturized looks have a lower maintenance factor that’s appealing to athletes and non-athletes alike.

ELEMENTS OF THIS STYLE

Style versatility is key with long hair all tied up

As a stylist, you need to determine the length that’s suitable. Thinning hair tops the list of concerns among your male clientele, so it’s important to adjust

Tight fades are a trademark of the classic athlete look

the cut length according to the density of their hair.

When it comes to length, Taylor recommends that giving more density to thinning hair with a short crop is a good option, plus it’s easier to move around and style. For clients with wavy or thick hair who want a medium length, Taylor says it’s important to keep the sides clean, crisp and disconnected from the top for style versatility. For medium or coarse textured hair with a medium density, longer lengths, are a great option because the hair can be pulled back into an undone knot.

“A true athletic look is cropped but with a natural texture, and, depending on your client’s age, some will want it longer but with natural movement.”

–Paul Pereira, Essential Looks Artist for Schwarzkopf Professional

WHO CAN WEAR IT Regardless of age or lifestyle Pereira says that, “men want to look like an athlete, and 90 per cent of the time, they show me photos of soccer players.”

That said, it’s a look that both Taylor and Pereira agree translates well at any age. “It’s about detailing and personalizing to the perimeters and textures of your client so that it’s age and lifestyle appropriate,” explains Taylor.

When considering face shape, most athletes

WHEN CAN YOU WEAR IT For Tom, most of her clients want more versatility in their look. It’s not only about having one look, but they want to be able to wear it more casually and at the same time look professional and more styled when they need to be. According to Tom, the secret to the success of this look is instilling confidence in your client. “I always show my clients a not-so-perfect, textured look, which is much easier to style at home.”

Word on the

Street

Tips for increasing your clientele with referrals.

W

hether your salon is new or has been around for years, getting new clients through the door is a critical component for running a successful business. One of the most classic and effective forms of advertising for your salon is by word of mouth—or, in other words,

referrals from your clients. “Sometimes you have to ask for help, and if a client genuinely likes what you’ve done, there isn’t anything wrong with asking to refer a friend or family member,” says Edwin Johnston, artistic director for KMS California and owner of Cutting Room Creative in Nanaimo, B.C.

Make a lasting impression To encourage clients to refer you to their family and friends, it’s important to ensure that you are offering them the best level of service. “It’s about creating a standard that makes them want to refer you,” says Johnston, who also sends his clients a follow-up email after their first visit. “As salon owners, we take that into our own hands. As the owner, I have to take the initiative.”

Building a good relationship and rapport with clients can not only helps with getting referrals, but also helps build loyalty. “At the end of the day, all clients want to work with someone they like and trust,” says Rowena Berry, national business development manager for Schwarzkopf Professional Canada. “So the question really is, when does that client become a fan? The difference between a client and a fan is that a fan will follow you and promote you. That’s the foundation behind referrals.”

Presentation is key Complimentary or discounted services have traditionally been common referral incentives for many salons. However, Peter Mahoney, president of Salon Resource Group in Halifax, says the presentation of the incentive is what often determines its success. “It’s all in the execution—using intelligent verbiage to present it in a way that’s going to get results,” he explains.

For a greater chance of success, Mahoney, whose consulting firm represents more than 20 salons on the east coast, recommends offering incentives for both new client and existing clients. “The incentive has to be significant and compelling to entice new clients to try something different.”

Salons across the country are increasingly using retail products as referral incentives. For example, Johnston created Cutting Room Creative’s referral program, which allows clients to earn reward points for each referral that they can redeem for retail products.

Retail products are popular incentives for many reasons. Not only do they provide clients with something beneficial and tangible that they can take home but the

Creating a Culture In a neighbourhood where anything goes, hairstylists can get creative and truly push the envelope.

By Nicole Lippay

D

ubbed by Vogue as “one of the coolest neighbourhoods in the world,” the bustling Queen West is where Sylvie Prud’Homme set up shop with The Loft Toronto in 2013. “Queen West is still kind of

like that kooky neighbourhood where you can still be yourself and see what works,” she says, speaking fondly of the eclectic locale.

WELCOME TO THE LOFT TORONTO The Loft Toronto has a chic, vintage vibe and feels immediately welcoming with exposed brick and funky wall collection of saucers and plates. The curated collection of antique furniture combined with sleek, modern finishes appeals to just about everyone: “I think that there’s still room for possibility and voice here. You’re not pigeonholed into being a certain way because of the neighbourhood dictating what that’s going to be,” explains Prud’Homme. The clientele spans all ends of the age spectrum. “We’ve positioned ourselves where we have a mid- to high-end range of products, and we have junior stylists to master stylists with price points where we can accommodate every single kind of client, regardless of demographic.”

BEING YOUR OWN BOSS Opening her own salon wasn’t always what Prud’Homme had planned: “It wasn’t really something that I was ever interested in doing until I moved to Toronto. I love that Toronto is so busy but I was really feeling a lack of kinsmanship and that family aspect that I’d once felt, so that’s when I started thinking that I needed that back in my life. If I was feeling like that, then other hairstylists must be feeling that they needed that, too—that support system.”

CULTIVATING CREATIVITY Being immersed in such a street-style-centric neighbourhood, it’s no wonder that the team at The Loft Toronto is so creative. “All of us individually have our own style, and I think that trickles down to our clients and what they’re looking for. In terms of street style, Queen West is the epitome of street style. You can have something from a really clean, concise bob to messy, dusty hair in pastel colours. We see everything here.”

3 MAKING IT COUNT Valentino’s Grande Salon in Whitby, Ont., has been rewarded for its charitable efforts in a big way. Last year, with the proceeds from Valentino’s Grande Salon’s 30th anniversary charity gala, the salon managed to raise more than $17,000 for Beauty Gives Back. In recognition of the impressive contribution, Beauty Gives Back awarded the salon with the bronze award at the Beauty Gives Back Tribute Awards in June. “It’s great to be recognized, but ultimately our event was about raising the money for Beauty Gives Back and spreading awareness.” says George Tsinokas, owner of Valentino’s Grande Salon. Beauty Gives Back is a Canadian charitable program dedicated to helping women affected by cancer look and feel better through its empowering workshops.
