EDITORIAL
M
en’s hair continues to experience a renaissance of trends. Product options are endless and it’s no longer a ‘new to market’ focus for brands. It’s safe to say men are more receptive to marketing messages and targeted campaigns and it’s no longer an intimidating territory to broach. Men’s grooming, real conversations and men speaking about their passions and struggles has transcended beyond the bar and into the barber for both front of house and back of house experiences across a significant array of services. Creating a safe and social environment for all types of men has become a priority for many barbers who relish in the diversity of their clientele. Men are incredibly loyal clients, and once they receive a good service their propensity to stay is significantly greater than a ‘shop around’ mentality often adopted by some other market segments. Up-selling, therefore, is where many barbers and men’s hairdressers are beginning to see even more potential to elevate client spend, justify price increases or expand the overall service menu, making a visit to a men’s salon a more holistic experience. Consumer behaviour experts believe that men like to be locked in. The subscription economy and business model is all around us and is expected to continue to increase at a compounding 18 per cent annual growth rate until 2025. The potential with male clients who consistently show up for their monthly or even more frequent services represents considerable potential to cash in on the once elusive subscription model. Overall from a dollar value, men are increasing their spending in grooming goods as attitudes about conventional masculinity have shifted and the growing influence of celebrities and influencers have made it okay to embrace new levels of individuality. Furthermore, an increase in the number of men's salons is fuelling demand for male products all around the world. The average product spend is increasing slowly to incorporate more grooming options for varying concerns. In addition, some market participants are recognising a huge surge in take-home electrical items, such as shavers and razors, by creating conversations around new performance characteristics and better technology. Leading hair and barber businesses are also spending in marketing efforts and advertising their products on social media across Instagram and Facebook and by collaborating with influential men. From the circle of influence to enhanced options for men, choice is now at the forefront of a market prepped for further grooming. Breaking down the traditional imagery of how men’s hair and trends are portrayed, we too have taken a more creative approach in our Stranger Things inspired editorial by American Crew, based on the mystery and peculiarity for a new realm of expression. Men, you now have your own menu!

NAME: Zeppelin.B WHO: Jase Alpen WHERE: 2460 Gold Coast Highway, Mermaid Beach, QLD SIGNATURE: Zeppelin has been around for 6 years with some of the most outthere stylists in the industry, with a range of knowledge exceeding 15 years in hair. Imagine a band coming to town full of Rasta sports men and rockstars, then you have Zeppelin. “Our style brings together such a wide range of people from men to women, CEOs, to your local wheeler and dealer. I have worked at a couple of other shops over my time and never seen such diversity in people that come through the doors, and that is purely a reflection of these people, the vibe and the aesthetic set in the shop,” Jase said. SHOP STYLE: Zeppelin is clean and minimal, but still with all the quirk and character of its owner’s personality. From a dirt bike hat rack to striking brown chairs, 50s tennis rackets to beautiful flowers set on a jungle of polished concrete, this wide-ranging mix is pure Zeppelin. With the music; one minute you’re at Woodstock or Coachella then all of a sudden you’re at a lounge bar in Italy. It's an eclectic beachside enclave that’s all about charm and happiness. SERVICES: “We do all the nuts and bolts from style cuts, fades, colours, shaves and hair cleansing, and specialise in your longer style cuts and colours now too. Every customer is welcome to drink from San Pellegrino water or have a beer, whiskey or even popcorn. It’s the type of place where we do warn guests that they may come for a half hour haircut and there is a good chance they will be there for the rest of the afternoon.” 6 - INSTYLE MEN

NAME: BY FRANCE. WHO: France Khamees WHERE: 50 King Street, Sydney SIGNATURE: The salon’s unique atmosphere is identified at the entrance with an exclusive and inviting feel that’s different to a lot of barbershops and a whole lot more lush. Having this aesthetic from first sight, according to France, provides the comfort that the service will match. Each appointment is tailored to the client’s individuality, and they are consulted and educated on how to best treat their hair type and what is best suited to their face shape. Appointments are run on a timely schedule to ensure each client experiences the highest quality service focused just on them. A haircut at BY FRANCE. is recognisable – even on the streets, to those who have experienced the service and its particular details. SHOP STYLE: BY FRANCE. is set within an exquisite heritage building. The interior design and fabrics used establish a modern men’s hair studio feel that features metallic stainless steel walls, corian and silver stone. The lighting is highly personalised and further atmosphere is created through the in-built Sonos sound system. The chairs with luxurious leather fabrics used by Takara Belmont and the scent of LeLabo Santal 26 also assist in casting the store with a sophisticated contemporary warmth. BY FRANCE. have engaged with Australian brands including Morris Motley, Patricks and KEVIN.MURPHY as well as international brands to offer high quality hair products. SERVICES: Haircuts and beard reshapes constitute the salon menu. Each service offered at BY FRANCE. includes a tailored consultation followed by a hair cleanse and a complementary beverage.

NAME: Barber Bro’s & Co WHO: Emir Kanalic WHERE: Shop 1e/11 Charles Ave, Broadbeach, QLD SIGNATURE: “Barber Bro’s & Co is all about quality haircuts and shaves, but also about the modern experience we provide to our valued guests from the moment they visit, until the final moment when they leave. Barber Bro’s & Co relishes in the uniqueness of the fact that it’s a BARBER-ESPRESSOBAR in the heart of the Gold Coast,” Emir shared. “Barber Bro’s & Co have taken the BARBER-ESPRESSO-BAR concept to another level,” he explained. “While our patrons are waiting, they are exposed to culturally crafted coffee, the highest quality alcoholic beverages, and a unique warm and friendly barbershop vibe. Big screen TVs broadcast live sports from around the globe, and a Bose sound system plays background music from legends such as Ray Charles, James Brown, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley or Otis Redding, without inhibiting conversation. However, we also like to break it up with new-school music, and genres range from hip hop to soul and country music.” “Traditional barber chairs have been sourced from the US and restored to their former glory, ensuring every single patron can feel comfortable and share camaraderie with both staff and fellow patrons, while sipping on beer, whisky or culturally crafted coffee,” he continued. “Since its opening, Barber Bro’s & Co has been frequented by patrons from every echelon of society. We have got the fine gentlemen, school kids, greasers, rockabillies and hipsters. Name it, and we have it.” STYLE: “The respect for traditions and heritage of barbering is what drives our passion. We believe barbering is not about fashion, but about style and tradition. Most mornings there is a line of customers already waiting for us to open so they can get a sharp, ruthless and rag haircut or a hot towel straight razor shave. What also makes the job enjoyable is meeting people, listening to their stories and creating a relationship with our patrons.” SERVICES: “The barbers specialise in traditional, classic and signature haircuts, as well as hot towel straight razor shaves. Our favourite styles to cut would be the Executive Contour, Tight.” 8 - INSTYLE MEN

INPROFILE
LUKE MUNN X AMERICAN CREW
MEN’S HAIR SPECIALIST AND AMERICAN CREW ALL STARS WINNER LUKE MUNN UNLEASHED HIS BREADTH OF BARBER SKILLS ALL THE WAY FROM THE MULLET TO THE TOPKNOT. WORKING WITH LENGTH AND THE MODELS’ NATURAL TEXTURES, LUKE DEPICTED THE MYSTERIOUS WORLD OF NETFLIX SERIES STRANGER THINGS, WITH HAIR THAT’S YOUTHFUL, NATURAL AND MYSTERIOUSLY LIVED-IN.
What did you love about the shoot concept inspired by Stranger Things? I loved the idea of creating this real moody sort of shoot with the lighting and how the shots were framed. We shot photos in a dark room and created this cool shoot, which I think is one of my favourites. I love that we didn’t do a traditional editorial shoot. What are your favourite go-to American Crew products? American Crew has such a versatile range of products that all have their differing strong points. In saying that, for years I have always fallen back on two products that I love, American Crew’s Boost Powder and Defining Paste. Currently the new release of the Matte Clay Spray is also doing the rounds and I find myself regularly using this product for a wide range of hairstyles. What was your favourite look on the shoot and why? I really enjoyed the double shot. I think having both the guys in frame and allowing that to translate well through the lens works so well. What do your clients love most about American Crew? I think clients love that they can rely on the products to do what they need them to do and allow them to achieve the looks they want. It’s hard to not love such a dominant name in men’s grooming. What is one your proudest hair moments to date? There have been some amazing moments in my career so far, but my proudest moment has to be opening my shop, Havachat Barbershop in Adelaide. Going out on my
own and building something reflects me both inside and outside of hair. Who do you look up to in terms of men’s style? Oh man, that’s tough! You know people will probably have that classic line like ‘I look up to David Beckham’, or something like that, but I think men’s style is currently undergoing a massive shift and I’m just excited to see what’s next. Don’t be the trend, create it! Globally though, I find myself inspired most by the UK and what is being done over there in regards to men’s hairdressing. If you could pick two products what would they be? AC Fiber Cream and AC Defining Paste. What is the biggest motivation for you doing what you do every day? My family, they’re my biggest motivators! Also, the industry growth in general. I’m motivated by others in the industry constantly pushing the limits and boundaries of what can be achieved and how we perceive ourselves as stylists. What is it about editorial work you love the most compared to in-salon? The creative canvas! Editorial work is another world and it allows me as a stylist to really tap into that creative side and try to create something. Anyone who has worked on set before knows there is just something special about being in a room with a great team coming together to create. That feeling at the end of the day when you see the images and the storyboard, it’s special.

Pimple Patch Banish and fade early-stage pimples with 300 dissolving Hyaluronic Acid microneedles tipped with Salicylic Acid, Vitamin B3, Tea Tree Oil and Green Tea with ESK Microneedle Patches. Tackle early stage pimples with combined technologies of microneedling and evidence based ingredients. Microneedling in its current form started to gain prominence in the late 1990s when a plastic surgeon described how he treated post surgical scars with a tattoo gun (with the ink removed). Fast forward a few decades and not only are microneedles used for skin antiaging, reducing facial hyperpigmentation and managing acne, but also (in the case of dissolving microneedles) for delivery of medications. More recently micro needling has been used for the efficient delivery of skincare ingredients. https://www.eskcare.com/products/spotless
Compagnie de Provence
The shower becomes a comforting moment thanks to the most natural shower oil from Compagnie de Provence, the Karite Shower Oil.

All perfumes have a place on the Fragrance Wheel depending on their olfactive properties. By identifying your favourite families, you can easily discover new fragrances that you’ll enjoy. www.libertineparfumerie.com.au

MY WAY
PREP-OHOLIC JULES TOGNINI
Owner at Togninis Hair and Hey Hair Salons This style works for him, however, it is a little bit preppy for me and a bit too predictable. He probably needs to go up a size in the pants for a bit more room through the tight legs, but the length and colour are spot on. I would also like to see him size up in the turtle neck too, but I do love this jacket and shades! I also noticed, is that a vape in his hand? What is that all about? Nah, thanks. Hair-wise, I think he needs a little help. If he is going to wear the sides tight then they need to be tapered more through the side burn. His hair is way too “boffy” and wiry on top. We would need to use product, I would suggest he get a leave-in moisturiser ASAP and a heavy hold cream to get some shine and control into that mane. I also see there are a few greys coming through which I can relate to, maybe try colour to blend the greys rather than cover. I do appreciate his facial hair though, spot on! All in all, he looks pretty ace, sorry I feel as if I have ripped into him, but come for a visit to Togninis and we will get you looking like a 10!

BLUE STEEL
ANTONIO D’AMBROSIO
Senior Stylist and Global Educator at UNOIT BARBER
I’m a fan of the baggy oversized style but this particular look is a little off balance for me. In my opinion, the jacket is too short and although I love the overall blue colouring the pants need some shape to define his overall look. The model has great thick hair - I would cut the hair to emphasise the model’s facial features and head shape more. The product I would use would be a pomade for a wet look styling to give the hair a sleek healthy finish. When creating shape in a haircut, whether it’s for an editorial shoot or in the salon, the key factor for me is the WOW EFFECT - something eye catching and outstanding that would make a long lasting impression.
