Dear Reader

Marketing Executive K. Nanda Kumar (South)

There is no doubting the fact that the Indian salon industry is on a boom path.

If speculations and business forecast are to be believed, the industry will stand at approximately `322 billion by 2020.

This growth will encompass hairdressing, skincare, make-up and wellness. No salon can afford to ignore any of these aspects. So unless you are specifically targeting at specialised services, such as blow drying, you better gear up for an all-round service menu.

Education is another aspect that will be the focus area in days to come. Be it upgrading your staff’s skills by offering them training hours or starting your own in-house academy, education is a must for everyone. If you are planning on changing your business module or incorporating any upgrades, the right time is now.

In keeping with Beauty Launchpad’s tradition of having our thumb on the pulse of trends, in this issue we present to you the Colour Collective collection by Hooker & Young. The dynamic and enterprising team of this world-renown salon has come up with an inspiring colour collection. And that brings us to colour trends on the home front. Schwarzkopf Professional’s Essential Looks 2018 collection is here. It was unveiled at a glamorous event in Mumbai and the styles created are not only inspiring but also perfect for Indian customers.

We also have our usual array of new launches in hair, skin and make-up, news from across India and the globe, and interviews of experts. So, as you soak in the monsoon vibes, enjoy this issue of Beauty Launchpad and always be in touch with the business of beauty.

gLobAL weLLness DAY

heALthY insiDe out with purenutrition I was curious to know if wellness supplements are merely a fad or do they really help. While interviewing Luke Coutinho, Founder, Purenutrition, I got interested in his products and decided to give them a try. Firstly, I tried the Garcinia Cambogia capsules for weight loss. I had been battling with a plateau state in my fitness regime as I was unable to shed more weight in spite of eating healthy and exercising regularly. Since the day I started the capsules, I noticed a change in my metabolism. I researched about this wonder fruit and discovered that the small fruit blocks the ability of the body to make fats. It is believed that the Biotin supplement makes you feel full, speeds metabolism and enhances athletic performance. Although none of the effects of the supplement were quantifiable, I can vouch for the fact that it helps your body in metabolism and doesn’t allow more fat to accumulate. However, you can’t replace it with healthy eating and exercise.

Secondly, I tried Collagen Max. Collagen supplement for skin and hair is another big thing that’s trending. I wanted to find out if this trend really delivered results. 1 sachet dissolved in a glass of water, once or twice a day, is designed to help you have an active lifestyle and look younger. I could see noticeable changes in my skin after about a week of consuming the Collagen Max sachets. In the second week, I observed that my hair’s texture has also improved. It also affects your overall wellbeing and you do feel a spring in your step. After exhausting the pack, I again observed if any of the results were waning. To my surprise, they didn’t. However, I feel I should continue with it to prolong the effects.

I certainly recommend these supplements to people who have been battling weight issues and hair and skin concerns. It is however advisable to consult your physician first. Garcinia Cambogia is priced at `1,999 and Collagen Max is priced at `1,499. they are available on Purenutrition.me.

mYgLAmm, LisA hAYDon reLeAse #turnonYoureYes cAmpAign MyGlamm and Lisa Haydon have launched a campaign urging Indian women to end eve-teasing by communicating their confidence by Turning On Their Eyes. To help spread this message, MyGlamm is donating every time there is a unique share of this message up to Rs 1 Crore to Give India and the Magic Bus India Foundation.

A’Kreations Hair and Beyond Luxury Salon A’Kreations Hair and Beyond Luxury Salon, on Waterfield Road at Bandra, is a perfect spot to enjoy some ‘me’ time, finds out Kanishka Ramchandani.

There are times when you are in desperate need of pampering but your hair and skincare needs take precedence. At A’Kreations Salon, you can get both!

The salon stands at the prime location on Waterfield Road, off Linking Road in Bandra. It takes up huge floor space on the ground level and also has a beauty section on the first level. The ground floor is dedicated to hair and mani-pedi services. As I stepped into the salon one hot, humid and typically-Mumbai-weather afternoon, 24 Beauty Launchpad India | 07.18

the first thing that hit me was the positive vibe of the place. People in the salon, be it the hair professionals, management staff, housekeeping staff or customers, seemed quite happy and at ease. I was introduced to the salon manager who showed me around the salon. I then met the hairdresser who was to give me a hairspa experience. After a brief consultation, she recommended the Hydrating Hair Spa with Wella SP Luxe Oil. I was ushered into a private room where I enjoyed a soothing head massage and a steam session as my hair soaked in the goodness of the products.

After a quick hair wash and blow dry, not only was my hair ready for the world outside, my spirits were buoyant, too! The relaxing hair spa was followed by a rejuvenating pedicure session. The salon has a three-chair room dedicated for pedicure. Here again, the client can relax completely while getting her feet massaged. I opted for their signature treatment, which invovled a classic pedicure, massage, scrub and mask. Apart from the manual massage, the pedicurist also gave my feet a good rub with the massage machine. It was a truly relaxing experience! A’Kreations Hair and Beyond is easily accessible and offers a gamut of hair and skin services. The salon staff is friendly and warm and believes in making your experience a memorable one.

Go Gray, Gracefully!

MATRIX, the world’s leading professional brand, helps you select the perfect way to seamlessly mask your clients gray manes.

G

ray hair is inevitable, but the way we embrace this natural occurrence is up to us. Despite the rising popularity of flaunting Meryl Streep-inspired salt-and-pepper hair or George Clooney’s silver fox, discovering that first silver streak on the perfectly black mane still freaks people out. This rogue gray hair can be unnerving not just because it indicates aging, but it moreover alters hair texture, making it coarser and wirier. It, thus, becomes progressively essential to cherry-pick the correct shade to camouflage your clients locks with the right hair color that would also give the hair a healthier appearance.

MATRIX, the world’s leading professional brand, helps you select the perfect way to seamlessly mask your clients gray manes.

Perfect Coverage for Initial Gray Hair The initial phase of sprinkling grays may not be an invitation for an overall shade change. If it’s just limited stray grays that are interrupting your client’s flawless appearance, you may want to hold on to the beauty of their natural hair hue.

Hence, adding a few highlights to the top and frame of the face will allow grays to blend in perfectly. If clients are not open to completely changing the color of their hair, you can color strands individually using a base that matches their natural color.

The roots are the most translucent part of gray hair, so you may need a slightly darker shade to match the original color.

Perfect Coverage for More Than Half Gray Hair There comes a time when most of your clients’ hair starts to turn gray. This is the moment of truth and the time to ensure you move to a heavy duty permanent hair color designed to provide full blanket coverage to those graying manes. Multitonal peaks and valleys in the finished hair color result is one option to brighten the eyes and skin tone. However, some clients may prefer complete opaque coverage. Either way, it comes down to client’s and your expertise at coloring hair to achieve the desired effect.

When it comes to choosing the perfect hair color, MATRIX has got you covered.

To help you discreetly choose the right color, pick from MATRIX’s two hair color ranges - SoColor and WonderBlack Ammonia Free.

MATRIX SoColor Permanent Nourishing Hair Color Cream offers long-lasting, vibrant color with up to 100% coverage and shiny, even

results from root to tip. With a mix of fashion shades and natural base shades, the SoColor formulas are preadjusted to eliminate warm undertones providing a vibrant color impact even on darker hair. The path-breaking Kera-Protect™ Technology has been specifically developed to protect hair’s keratin during the coloring process.

This SoColor palette is available in 38 exciting shades best suited for Indian skin tones.

MATRIX WonderBlack Ammonia Free Hair Color formulas are conceptualized and created exclusively for the Indian market with an ammonia-free formula that caters to dark bases.Formulated with an innovative ‘oil like’ patented thick golden gel, the color delivers 5x shinier hair while covering 100%grey for 6 weeks. Available in 4 shades and powered with a breakthrough technology, MATRIX WonderBlack Ammonia Free has worked wonders in salons across the country and has proven to be the most preferred hair color of all by salon owners as well as consumers.

Perfect Coverage for Few Gray Hair Turning gray should be treated as an exciting opportunity to experiment and let your creativity splurge. There’s no better way to add depth and movement to dull ageing hair than with highlights and lowlights. Not only can you mask the gray strands but also provide a pleasing texture and life to maturing hair.

Pick a highlight color that would match your client’s natural hair color while complementing their skin tone. This would help blend the gray threads while sustaining depth and dimension.

Perfect Coverage for Less Than Half Gray Hair As time progresses, the quantity of steely colored strands start to multiply and this is the time to use permanent hair color to get the best coverage and long-lasting color. If majority of gray hair is condensed near the roots, choose a shade that matches the original color exactly or looks a shade or two darker.

True to its promise, the Indian edition of Essential Looks was full of surprise and inspiration. Beauty Launchpad brings a first hand account of the event.

live cuts and colours, made the event a glamorous one.

Iconic hairstylist from London and Global Colour Ambassador of Schwarzkopf, Lesley Jennison, teamed up with the Indian team led by Najeeb-Ur-Rehman, Director – Professional Partner Services, Henkel Beauty Care (Schwarzkopf Professional), India, and Bony Sasidharan, Regional ASK Manager, to create inspiring looks.

Hairdressers from different parts of the country converged at the ASK Academy in Andheri weeks prior to the show to brainstorm and design the looks. All the prep work on the models were done there.

The air at the Academy was charged with creativity and passion.

The Essential Looks show kickstarted with an introductory speech by Kartik Kaushik, General Manager, Henkel Beauty Care (Schwarzkopf Professional), India. He said, “We live in a visually sophisticated world driven by trends that are born on the catwalks of the world’s fashion capitals. Essential Looks is a trend setting property created by Schwarzkopf Professional, which showcases the hair styles and colouring techniques inspired by these fashion capitals of the world, and in the process transform the world of hair. The aim of today’s Essential Looks event was to bring these international styles to the Indian salons.”

This was followed by the catwalk show with a set of models representing a different trend. A total number of five trends were showcased at

the event. Each set was choreographed to suit the theme of the trend, while the clothes worn by the models complemented the looks.

Here are the key trends from Essential Looks 2018: Random Rebel: Inspired by the rise of club culture celebrates self-expression, the cultural outsider, and the rebellious maverick!

Real Me: Embraces the authentic, showcasing real life in every shade of natural.

Beyond Borders: Blends the brand’s global status – a new generation of multi-culture where attitude is everything, and no rules, rule! #Royal Takeover with Dusted Rouge: The new must-have colour trend – deep, vintage reds, beautiful iridescence, super powerful but soft at the same time!

Urban Diva: Celebrates the modern Indian woman, who is smart, confident, wears trending styles that naturally suit her personality.

As the models sashayed down the ramp, showing off each trend, Lesley was on her toes explaining each look to the audience.

She spoke about the inspiration behind each trend, the idea behind each look and the driving force behind customising each trend for Indians. She explained, “I’m very excited to be in India to launch our Essential Looks REinvent hair collection in Mumbai. This collection of haircuts and colours gives every hairdresser all the information they need to then be able to inform their clients of the new trends from head to toe.”

The audience comprised salon owners, hairdressers, media houses and bloggers.

Every trend that was presented was met with a huge applause. The show as well as Essential Looks 2018 were well-appreciated by all.

Hair / Expert Talk

Rod Anker: the woke bae of hair Rohini Lall talks to Rod Anker about hair, colour, running a business, white privilege, heat, monsoon and cake!

— By Rohini Lall

R

od Anker, of the eponymous Rod Anker Salons is a person you can have an engaging conversation with about almost anything under the sun. He believes in unwavering focus, effortless talent and always standing behind his staff. His ‘employee first’ policy is heartening in the ‘customer is always right’ market. But that isn’t where the differences between him and other salon owners end. He doesn’t suffer fools. He doesn’t take late comers kindly and he definitely hates clutter.

He engages with the person in the chair and does not even acknowledge his surroundings while is working on hair. Specially since his salon is all about it. It isn’t jumbled with skin and nail and juice bars and God knows what that you can get in a lot of multi speciality salons. There are no messy wax strips, no hair on the floor, no TV, sales counter, cookie jar or any thing that can be classified as ‘bullshit.’

“The only thing I am allergic to is bullshit”, Rod told me on the phone while answering a question about allergies and he has a wide array of things that he’d put under the umberella of the term.

Even the number of chairs in the salon point towards the fact that he would like nothing in excess around him. Eight chairs and a couch is just enough. No less, no more. There are no overburdened shelves on the walls. They are clean and so is his core ethic of not pushing products on clients unless they themselves ask for it. They are free to buy them from wherever they want to.

Another striking element of the salon is the spotless cleanliness.

Despite the graffiti on the wall, the rest of the salon is spotless and almost calm inducing. The music playing is soft and there’s no way you’ll come out of there with a blistering headache that some salons will leave you with because the decide not to play music, but to blare it.

Among more commendable things, Rod is an advocate for Times of India’s Nahi Means No initiative that plans to educate people about toxic masculinity, gender roles, rape culture and more importantly about the weight and power of the word NO. The fact that he chooses to be an ally means a lot to me, a rape survivor.

The grass is pretty green here

Snippets:

Check out that ’gram

• Rod does not believe in hiring social media managers and between him and his partner they manage three accounts and a blog. (Psst : he can actually write well.

• Check out his blog at: rodankersalons.com/blog his Instagram: rod.anker and rodankersalons • If he had to pick a colour to offset the grey, drippy monsoon, he go with bright blue. (Want to give it try?

Visit him, call in advance and be on time.)

• He won’t hair shame you, body shame you or gender shame you. That’s not his style.

• The salon is so pristine because he literally paints it every three months! Gasp!

• He thinks arrogance is a fool’s tool.

• P.S if you do something cool, he’ll not only be grateful but will definitely give you a shoutout! Don’t believe me? Pics, because it did happen!

• If you want a brilliant commentary on white privilege, talk to him! It will change your perspective on race, colour, privilege and colonialism.

• He definitely deserves more cakes.

• I probably gave him diabetes.

Shoutout - yay!

Beauty / Expert Talk

Prep your skin up Dr Jamuna Pai gives an expert advice on how to take care of your skin during monsoons.

Dr Jamuna Pai, Founder, SkinLab, believes that to maintain rejuvenated, glowing and healthy skin, it is essential that everybody takes utmost care of their skin during the monsoon season. Therefore, to combat all the skin woes, one must follow a simple yet effective skincare regime.

Dr Pai provides a few beauty guidelines for a youthful and radiant skin this monsoon season: Intake of fluids: Drink at least 7-8 glasses of water to maintain hydration. Since the mercury isn’t soaring in this season, we tend to forget the importance of adequate and regular water intake.

Shield your skin: Since it’s cloudy, it does not mean the skin is protected from the sun. It is extremely important to guard your skin against the sun’s harmful UV rays, so always use a good sunscreen lotion. During the rainy season do not use oil-based products on your face as they tend to block the pores and can lead to acne; especially if your skin type is prone to oiliness. Keep away from water-based make-up as it can get smudged if you get caught in the rains unawares.

Cleanse the skin: The skin should be cleaned minimum thrice a day, with a non-soapy face wash. This helps to clean excessive oil and dirt from the skin pores and helps it breathe. Rainwater left on the skin for long periods of time can act as an irritant making the skin itchy and easily prone to bacterial and fungal infections.

Wash your face with a gentle face wash at least twice a day and anytime when you may have gotten caught in the rains.

Facial: Facials, peels and other advanced beauty treatments like microdermabrasion are a fantastic way to freshen up a dull skin. Avoid toners with alcohol, as it can further dry your skin.

Haircare: With the advent of rains, the added moisture in the atmosphere gives rise to oily scalp, frizzy hair and dry locks. Make it a routine to wash your hair at least thrice in a week. Do not skip the conditioner as using a good conditioner will help in moisturising your hair and minimising the frizz.

Living Canvas “How long to think before you ink?” Rohini Lall explores this as she gets inked at Tenzin Tattoos eight years after her first tattoo. — By Rohini Lall

I

t is fitting that I quote the person I was honouring when I tell the story of getting inked for the second time and about the artist I chose to go to.

Tenzin shares his name with his holiness the 14th Dalai Lama and hails from Tibet.

With that he brings an almost meditative charm which is comforting when there’s a needle going through you.

This was my second time getting tattooed by him and despite the eight year time gap, he did actually remember me!

His implements and tattoo parlour are obsessively clean, the pain is almost unnoticeable and his demeanour is conducive to getting inked because as you engage in a conversation, you don’t feel the anxiety or the pain which some people experience.

Tenzin has been a tattooist since 2002 and has grown steadily in skill, respect and stature. If you want to get inked, call ahead, be on time and be prepared to wait a little.

Some tattoos mean more than others to me. They all mark a moment in time. I don’t overly place importance on them, but they do commemorate in a way that photographs can’t.”

— Anthony Bourdain

The significance of my TaTToo “A semicolon is used when an author could’ve chosen to end their sentence, but chose not to. The author is you and the sentence is your life,” explained the late Amy Bleuel, founder of Project Semicolon, an organization dedicated to the prevention of suicide.

Since I was honouring a brilliant life that was lost to suicide, I decided to get a semicolon in the colours black and red.

The red dot signifies the end of Anthony Bourdain’s life and the semi colon signifies the continuation of mine.

Beauty / Celeb Talk

Keeping up with

iK ara

Tell us about your grooming routine - hair and skin care? What challenges do you face?

In terms of daily skincare, I like using a good all season moisturiser that can be my go-to option in every way. I love the Pond’s Light Moisturiser. It’s enriched with vitamin E, is non-oily and always leaves my skin looking fresh and glowing. I also rely heavily on the Pond’s Flawless Radiance Derma + Perfecting Serum – especially at night. The formula is really impressive. I make sure my hair is washed every two days, when I’m not shooting I avoid putting heat in my hair and after every long shoot schedule, I treat myself to a hair spa to rejuvenate it.

Which projects are you working on currently?

I’m working on my second south film with Ram Charan and a special song in the Varun Dhawanstarrer ‘Kalank’.

Describe your look in your upcoming movie Well, ‘Kalank’ is a period film so you will be seeing me in a different avatar. As for the rest, it’s too early to share details but I promise the wait will be worth it How did your association with Pond’s come along?

It’s a brand that a lot of us have grown up with. Whether it is using the new products or the classic Cold Cream, I know I can totally trust the brand for any of my skincare needs. I’m extremely glad that I am officially a Pond’s girl today.

What kind of impression did you have about the brand before joining it? What has changed since then?

Pond’s has been a brand that has constantly evolved to meet the needs of the modern-day woman.

The woman who likes to spend her time outdoors and is constantly exposed to mobile radiation.

I personally am amazed by the amount of scientific research they put into their products and the skincare solutions they have created to solve new age skin concerns. I have seen it evolve and grow and it’s great to be associated with a leader of skincare innovations.

beauty with a difference

In conversation with Cyril Feuillebois, Founder, KronoKare...

— By Kanishka Ramchandani

A

Persian who fell in love with India, the story of Cyril Feuillebois is as interesting as his beauty brainchild – KronoKare. ‘Chronos’ is the God of Time in Greek Mythology.

Crafted on this thought, KronoKare is a vision in cosmetics ahead of its time. Today, the brand has a seven-year-old history of providing luxurious organic and synthetic free ingredients. KronoKare is the perfect blend of best in Indian know-how of feeling good inside with the French technique required to look good outside. The products are inspired by natural remedies and come at affordable priced. We asked Cyril to share his experience of creating a beauty brand with us.

What got you interested in beauty and wellness?

It all started when I was in college and came to India for it. I was very much attached to India, its culture and wanted to know and be a part of it. Here people are more inclined towards a natural form of beauty and wellness industry. They will always find a remedy in the kitchen.

With time and availability of wide range of chemical-infused expensive products, it’s affecting the mindset. So I thought a natural, organic and chemical free product would be the perfect way of showing the love that the country gave me.

What was the key learning from your mobile spa business?

I was struggling to source cosmetic products that met the expectations in terms of quality and price. I started to make my own

50 Beauty Launchpad India | 07.18

massage oils and the 100% natural face packs. I learned that there is a missing link in the Indian market. Indians are attached to their own remedies and suspicious of all the chemicals and synthetic ingredients a cosmetic contained.

What are your plans for Kronokare? Do you have any targets in mind?

The plans are currently to expand our retail presence. We are planning to open our flagship store, starting with Delhi and NCR. In terms of range, we are developing a men’s range especially designed for beard care.

Which new products are in the offing?

Each one of our products is animal cruelty-free and vegetarian. The Pollufight is a pioneer product from KronoKare, which forms a polysaccharide matrix (protective screen) over the face or hair and stops toxic pollutant particles from penetrating skin pores and causing damage. Apart from this, we have the Sun Warrior Sunscreen Lotion, Sun Shield Face Sunscreen, and Age Prevention Face Serum.

Do you plan on opening a spa?

With my five year experience in spa management, a spa is a project that we would definitely enjoy completing. Our product range is already of professional quality, considering the high percentage of active ingredient we use. We are yet to identify the right partner for such a project, as we would ideally want the spa to be located in a 5-star property.
