ts the end of year- a time for trends, a time for the year end introspection and celebrations of Christmas and new Year. we bring you another issue of Beauty Launchpad - where we have attempted to bring in a capsule of Trends for this season as projected on ramps across the world and India. We are glad to report, the Fragrance Trends as revealed by Seven Scents and we feel that Oudh is indeed a strong invention in the world of perfumes. Having said that, we would also like to draw your attention to the new salons as they grow in their classic lay outs with the interiors being ambitious not just in Metros but in far off Jamshedpur as well. We truly celebrate the growth of the Indian salon business and the skill development drive all across.

An indicator of the growth being the coming of age of the Professional Beauty Event by the Ideas Exchange Group- indeed an event that has worked very hard to bring a professional beauty event closer home for the beauty industry in India - with new stations like Bangalore and Kolkata attracting good footfalls in 2015.

For December, Beauty Launchpad also gets closer as Beaute Espace website re-launches and the Bridal Book hits the market!

We are eager to hear from you!

QUICK UPDATES ON WHAT’S HAPPENING IN THE WORLD OF BEAUTY

BEGINNER’S LUCK

The International Dermal Institute (IDI) has long set new standards for professional, post-graduate skin therapist education since its inception more than three decades ago by Dermalogica Founder Jane Wurwand. And now, students new to the IDI will be treated to the education leader’s most popular class, International Skin Care Techniques Workshop, at no charge. You read that correctly: The class is completely free—but only through December. The three-day workshop covers sundry topics, like how to greet a client; IDI’s signature cleansing, massage techniques and mask therapies; use of essential oils; skin histology; and how to prescribe an effective at-home regimen. “By offering new students the chance to experience IDI rsthand—at no cost to them—even more skin therapists have the opportunity to build a better industry and achieve greater success,” enthuses Heather Hickman, Dermalogica Senior Director of U.S. Education.

Current Dermologica students who refer a friend to the workshop will be rewarded with a complimentary day of education of their choice.

AMWAY OPENS NEW RESEARCH CENTRE

The opening of the ABRC completes a ve-year process to develop the site.

BOLD AND APPEALING: DUPONT COSMETICS PACKAGING LAUNCHES SURLYN® PC-2200 AT LUXE PACK 2015

DuPont launched the new grade DuPont™ Surlyn® PC-2200. The development of this new material by DuPont Packaging & Industrial Polymers ts in the desire to offer brands even more freedom in the design of packaging and to therefore push the limits of creativity. This new grade brings together all the exceptional properties of Surlyn® crystalline transparency, high gloss, chemical resistance, excellent resistance to scratches and abrasion, a pleasant touch - while proving easier to implement.

DuPont opens new opportunities to designers who may possibly have been hindered in the design of their packaging by technical implementation constraints.

With Surlyn® PC-2200, designers working for perfume and cosmetics brands can therefore explore other creative avenues to develop surprising caps and more daring bottles. DuPont wants to enrich the collection of spectacular caps in which objects or images can be encapsulated into the Surlyn® as is the case of those presented these past years (Fleur de Cristal de Lalique, Kenzo In the Air, Mascara Lancôme Grandiôse.)

UNION

Inspiration: The juxtaposition of sleek and textured hair meet in the Union collection by Sam Villa, meant to evoke day to night, the androgynous and the masculine, the European and the American. Gaining momentum from the barbering trend, which stresses precision and discipline, the collection highlights the newfound appreciation for a slightly longer men’s haircut. The European aesthetic tends more toward genderneutral appeal, where the U.S. market demands masculinity; these silhouettes and textures honor both styles. There are two nishes per cut, as male guests are jumping onto the dual-identity wagon and asking for options in their daily styling.

UNION: HAIR: TEAM SAM VILLA; ARTISTIC DIRECTOR: GENEVA COWEN; PHOTOGRAPHER: SHALEM MATHEW; MAKEUP: LORINA ALAILEFALEULA; WARDROBE: CHRIS LEHMAN

A multifaceted life is represented in the shift of identities from loose to structured with simple adaptations in styling.

Go-To Products: Redken Pillow Proof Blow Dry Express Primer, Redken Fashion Waves 07, Sam Villa Professional Ionic Blow Dryer with Deep Bowl Diffuser

Precision barbering seamlessly floats into length and movement, creating a loose edge to a tough exterior in this union of androgyny and masculinity.

Highly contrasted lengths and textures bring about the feeling of city nights, as well as a union of European style and American sensibility.

Night becomes day; a fresh identity is defined by sleek and angular styling for the high-fashion work environment.

THE RITUAL OF LOVE

A daily ritual can promote a woman’s self-condence, enliven her senses and enhance her energy, but can it actually improve her love life?

The results of the ritual were so dramatic that Revlon commissioned award-winning Pulse Films director Tatia Pilieva to demonstrate the ritual›s effectiveness in a short lm, ‘Love Test’, featuring nine women of all ages and walks of life. The Revlon Love Test showed that women experienced a positive change after folding the ritual into their daily routines and proves women are empowered to improve their love lives with a simple shift in mindset. b eauty l aun chpad | 11.15

Steven Smart, creator of SMART:EST 73 Hair Salon, UK, finds the nuances of metallic colours and brings them to life in his latest collection — Metallica.

— by Kanishka Ramchandani “The variations within metals, from the soft apricot of gold to the harsh grey of wire wool, fascinate me. So, I used colour and shape to capture their essence and draw out the contrast between their solidity and smooth, gentle beauty.

I emphasised strength by shooting with strong, defined shadow that accentuates bone structure while revealing an essential femininity,” says Steven Smart, Owner, SMART:EST 73 Hair Salon, UK.

The finely structured haircut is off-set by the yellows and ash greys of the fringe line.

This look is sharp to the point of being curt.

The dark base is the perfect background for the bursts of colours used in this hairdo.

L’Oréal Professionnel ushered in a new era in hair coloration with the introduction of INOA, the groundbreaking ammonia-free innovation, INOA has already made an imprint on the burgeoning hair industry in India and today it’s an irreplaceable part of the colouration routine of many Indians.

On the cusp of the festive/bridal season, INOA presents a range of 4 new icy ‘cool’ shades with metallic accents to appease the colour goddess within you.

What is ‘cool’?

Cool tones in blue, khaki, browns and metallic shades are ‘in’. From international runways to make-up and from Page 3 appearances to red carpet stints of celebrities, cool colours are trending. Hues that have an understated, bluish-green reflect as opposed to a warm, fiery undertone are defined as cool colours.

New shades: The new shades of INOA are 6,17 | 7,17 | 7,11 | 9,11.

Skin tone: The best way to decide

what family of hair colour will suit you is to check your skin tone. There’s a reason why not everyone can pull off blonde

Consultation: Consultation process before coloration is the most vital step as it is

only the expert who can determine the skin undertone and suggest the right hair colour.

A few questions that should figure in thee consultation are the client’s fashion choices, her favourite colours, her preferred accessories ssories and her lifestyle.

The INOA edge

The reason INOA has been able to strike the right chord with colour enthusiasts is its Oil Delivery System (ODS2) – a revolutionary formula that harnesses the power of oil to treat hair as it colours.

INOA offers six weeks of intense hydration and nutrition leaving hair softer and shinier than before. You are bound to step out of the salon with hair that is shinier by up to 50% than before the hair colour service!

What’s more, ammonia-free and odourless INOA allows you to lighten hair up to three levels, change your hair colour and perfectly cover grey hair, while respecting the scalp and hair fibre.

This season flaunt the cool shades by INOA and be part of the latest buzz in town.

INOA available in more than 60 shades (MRP: `410 / 60gm tube). Exclusively available for in-salon use at L’Oréal Professionnel salons.

COLORATION MAINTAIN FIRST DAY COLOUR RADIANCE OF YOUR HAIR AND FIGHT THE FADE WITH L’OREAL PROFESSIONNEL’S VITAMINO A-OX. — BY KANISHKA RAMCHANDANI

Y

our hair looks fabulous the day you colour it. It’s full of bounce and shine and reflects the brilliance of newly acquired colour. As the days pass, sunlight, weather and improper post colour care start affecting the hair colour adversely. Fast fading colour is one of the prime concerns of women who want to get their hair coloured but are hesitant to do so. Now, L’Oréal Professionnel puts your worries to rest by introducing the Vitamino AOX technology to its Serie Expert range to fight fade and to give your tresses a rich glow.

Rich locks, vibrant colour As mentioned earlier, hair colour tends to fade due to external factors. While these factors can be controlled to some extent but what is really required is an in-built mechanism to curb the colour from fading. That’s exactly what L’Oréal Professionnel’s Serie Expert with Vitamino AOX. It equips your hair with a UV filter, vitamin E and an anti-oxidant, and thereby helps in extending the hair colour’s radiance for weeks.

This technology comes to you in the form of Top Coat Treatment. This precision treatment traps, seals and locks in colour at the heart

32

b ea u ty la u n ch p a d | 1 1 .15

of the hair fibre enabling the colour to stay radiant for weeks. It works best when done on the day of the coloration.

Star products

A star treatment requires star products. Here’s the range that makes Vitamino AOX technology works best for your hair colour.

Powerdose Colour AOX: A formula enriched with UV filters, tecopherol, panthenol and neohespiridin, it enhances the colour. Ionene G, a recognised colouring agent, protects the hair fibre. While Incell repairs the inter-cellular cement, the Cationic Polymer screen optimises the fibre’s hydrophobicity.

Crystalceutic Serum: This milky serum is enriched with SilicActive

elements, which coats the hair fibre with a light film to protect and preserve it.

Crystalceutic Masque: It is powered with glucomineral technology that traps the colour into the hair through crystallization and prevents it from escaping. In combination with the colour radiance protection serum, this masque coats the hair fibres with a protective film to help preserve the luminosity of colour treated hair.

Take the technology home

Colorists have been reiterating the fact time and again that post-colour care is very important. But we often tend to ignore this advice and suffer from loss of colour radiance. Now L’Oréal Professionnel makes post-colour care easy to follow with its range of homecare products.

STAR TREATMENT L’Oreal Professionnel’s top coat treatment protects coloured tresses from fading and damage, just like the top coat on nails. The top coat treatment seals the colour on the hair fibre, giving your long lasting radiant colour.

VitaminoColor Shampoo: Powered with this brilliant AOX technology and a creamy texture, this shampoo gently cleanses the hair to keep it soft and shiny while respecting the hair colour.

VitaminoColor AOX Mask: The mask also comes with the AOX

technology and a gel crème texture. It works beautifully after the shampoo to condition the hair and preserve the hair colour leaving it radiant.

Now, colour your hair fearlessly and maintain beautiful glossy mane with help from the best of hair expertise.

Available exclusively at L’Oréal Professionnel salons, the range is priced as follows: Vitamino AOX Shampoo `575 (250ml), Vitamino AOX Conditioner `525 (150ml) and Vitamino AOX Mask `675 (200ml).

REVIVE TURN YOUR DRY HAIR INTO HEALTHY, SHINY, MANAGEABLE LOCKS WITH PROFESSIONAL TIPS FROM BIOLAGE EXPERTS

S

your

Dry Hair

calp not producing enough natural oil to moisturize hair or structure of hair causing the moisture to escape could cause dry hair. Dry hair lacks moisture and looks coarse and that’s not how you want your hair to be like. Wish to give your lifeless locks a new life? Biolage haircare experts at Matrix bring essential care for dry hair.

What causes Dry Hair?

Over Washing and Under Conditioning

Shampooing with a harsh formula or shampooing too frequently can remove hair’s natural oils. Biolage experts at Matrix recommend using a shampoo that’s designed for dry hair with ingredients like aloe vera or apricot kernel oil.

Exposing Hair to Sun, Wind, Chlorine, Saltwater

UV rays, harsh or dry conditions and swimming can take away moisture from hair. Experts at Biolage recommend wearing a protective layer over your hair like a leave in cream or a serum.

Too Many Chemical Treatments

Poor quality hair colour, relaxers, perms and chemical smoothers can damage hair which leads to dryness.

There are smoothing formulas that can be applied before styling the hair that will prevent frizz and add moisture to dry hair.

Bad Brushes and Bad Brushing Metal brushes or brushes with uneven, jagged bristles can cause dry hair to tear, which disturbs the hair cuticle and leads to moisture loss. Avoid brushing your hair when it’s wet.

Moisturizing Tips for Dry Hair Dry hair needs are different for everyone. Some specific moisturizing tips for a variety of hair types-

For Curly Dry Hair

Curly hair tends to be drier than many other types, as it takes longer for oil from the scalp to make its way along the length of the hair strand.

Tips from Biolage Experts: Moisturize your hair with a rich conditioning cream or oil. Layer your styling cream with a leave-in moisturizing formula for double protection. A weekly hot oil treatment is must.

For Thick, Coarse Dry Hair

The basic structure of thick, coarse hair often leads to dryness. Using thermal tools or chemical smoothers to control tress texture can also exacerbate dry hair.

Tips from Biolage Experts: Support thermal tools with pre-styling creams and treatment oils. Layer the conditioners and take vitamins daily.

For Fine Dry Hair

Moisturize with care to avoid weighing down thin strands.

Tips from Biolage Experts: Choose a conditioner with a formula that is lightweight and “rinseable” for fine, dry hair. Always avoid roots as fine hair is driest on the ends.

For Mature Dry Hair

With age, hormones shift, metabolisms slow down and many women experience thinner dryer hair.

Gray hair often becomes more coarse and wiry, which can also be perceived as dry hair.

Tips from Biolage Experts: Use a hair color that also conditions dry hair.

One can also deep condition dry hair overnight by simply applying a rich, conditioning mask or treatment oil.

We recommend - BIOLAGE HYDRASOURCE ‘Your non-stop source of hydration’ It is powered by the new BIOMATCH technology and inspired by nature’s moisture rich plant ALOE VERA, known to lock-in water and deeply moisturize dry hair. The product is designed with state-of-the-art formulas inspired by nature that mimic the moisture retaining properties of the Aloe Plant to revive dry, dehydrated strands with an intense conditioning treatment.

Expert Care - HYDRASOURCE Intensive BIO-SPA

An in-salon treatment, this exclusive professional BIO-SPA has been specially designed to provide non-stop hydration to dry and dehydrated hair.

Home Care Range

The home care range includes a hydrating shampoo and a hydrating conditioner, which gently cleanses and moisturizes very dry, thick and coarse hair along with controlling unwanted volume. The shampoo is priced at Rs. 220 for 200ml & Rs. 400 for 400ml and the conditioner is priced Rs. 180 for 98g & Rs. 330 for 196g.

Expert’s Take

“We at MATRIX always recommend products with ingredients that maintain just the perfect amount of moisture in your hair. Inbuilt with a rich ingredient like Aloe Vera, which is known for its moisturizing benefits, Biolage HydraSource provides constant hydration and optimizes hair’s hydration levels through the absorption and retention of moisture leaving behind soft, shiny and manageable hair”- Melroy Dickson,

HAIR /Experiential myself after the service was done. The way the flash reflected on my hair, making each strand stand out was a never-seen-before spectacle. After the coloration, I was given a dry hair cut to accentuate the layers in my hair and give me a fresh look.

Thoroughly impressed by the look and feel of my hair after the coloration service, I had a brief discussion with Manjushree regarding Illumina. Here’s an excerpt from it.

HAIR

KANISHKA RAMCHANDANI TRIES WELLA PROFESSIONALS’ ILLUMINA HAIR COLOUR AND FINDS ANOTHER REASON TO FALL IN LOVE WITH HAIR COLOUR.

I

had been sporting on ombre look for quite some time, with sun-kissed blonde ends and dark brown roots and mid-lengths. When the opportunity to try Wella Professionals’ Illumina hair colour came along, I got excited but wondered how the colour will work on my ombre look. I was pleasantly surprised to see that not only the new hair colour transformed my look but it also left me satisfied with the shine and quality of my hair.

I stepped into the Wella academy at Khar, Mumbai, and was greeted by Manjushree Soni –Unit Training Leader West and Central, Wella Professional. We had a detailed consultation session after which she instructed the colorist to use golden brown colour in varying shades on my hair to ensure that the ombre effects

36

b ea u ty la u n ch p a d | 1 1 .15

is replaced by a single tone overall. The colorist added the SP Luxe Oil to the hair colour mix to repair my strands as they were colored. Also for the aftercolour wash she used deep conditioning products by Wella. I made it a point to run my fingers through the tresses at each step of the process, except when the colour was put on. I realised that from being rough-on-the-edges, my hair went to being smooth and silky.

Illumina hair colour is a range of 21 shades and it is Wella Professionals’ first permanent colour in the natural colour space. Taking a cue from movie companies like Pixar and the way they use technology to harness light, Wella has created Illumina to make hair colour luminous from within. I caught a glimpse of this magic when I clicked a picture of

>> What’s the most unique thing about Illumina hair colour?

The best thing about Illumina is the microlight technology, which revolves around the story of copper. Copper is present in the air as it’s a free radical. It gets deposited on your hair through the tap water that you use while taking a shower. Copper is known to adversely affect hair coloration. So, when you apply hair colour, it is not just the colour molecule, but also the copper that gets oxidised. This oxidation damages the hair cuticle because of which it is not able to reflect light. In Illumina the technology used deactivates the copper molecules and stops them from oxidising, thereby protecting your hair. Because of that only the colour molecules get oxidised and 70% of the light gets reflected. That’s why you see more light getting reflected. Another highlight of Illumina is that the effect of the hair colour is more natural and subtler. >> Which hair colouring techniques should be avoided with Illumina?

You can use all the colouring techniques with Illumina. It is a permanent colour that gives you the lift that any other colour would give. From ombre to highlights and creative techniques, everything can be used with Illumina. >> How many shades are available in Illumina?

21 shades including base tones, warm tones and cool tones. It also gives 100% grey coverage. >> How has been the response from hairdressers and customers?

Everyone who has used Illumina has found it amazing. From Malini Agarwal of MissMalini.com and the Jean Claude Biguine stylists who trained under me, all of them loved Illumina. Customers have given us feedback such as superior damage protection, softer and smoother hair and of course the luminosity.

kin is the major reflector of one’s good health and who knows it better than the ones who face the camera every day. With festive season kickstarting in full-swing, it is imperative to know what skincare regime celebrities follow to keep their skin flawless and clear even during festive temptations.

Belle of

SATARUPA PYNE Actress Calendar Girls Satarupa Pyne, the Bengali beauty we got acquainted with in a recent Madhur Bhandarkar’s release Calendar Girls, was in Delhi to walk the ramp for a fashion brand Skatti.in. She revealed her beauty secrets in a candid conversation with Beauty Launchpad.

Tell us something about the look you sported in the movie.

My look in the movie was glamorous yet young and peppy. I looked mature while wearing a saree and on the other hand wore a bikini and sported a sexy look. My look was stylish and that of a diva. There were scenes where I had no makeup and scenes where I was totally made up.

What routine you follow for your, makeup, skincare and fitness?

I am very finicky about my and hair and face. I have to lead a disciplined life else the camera catches everything.

I have a sensitive skin so I am particular about makeup brands. I use MAC, Bobbi Brown, Dior and Channel. It depends what look I want. Like for instance, if I need to adorn a glossy look I go for Channel.

Taking good span of sleep and eating good food is important for healthy skin. I always make it a point to work out in gym because I believe when you sweat, your skin radiates. For hair, I stick to L’oreal Mythic products as they work quite well on my hair type. I don’t experiment much else my hair starts falling-off. I take keratin treatments to maintain health of my hair.

For nails, I usually keep them short but for movies, I grow them up and go acrylic nails. I go for manicure in a month but not too often. I take care of them at home with cuticle oil and other products.

How does your routine differ during festivals?

During festivals, you can break your regime maximum for a week and then you have to get back to your routine. I have a soul to my life so I deviate a bit from my routine during festivals because that’s the time you travel too. However, I balance things well. If you have to achieve things in life, you have to be serious about it. Like if I go for rigorous workout one day, I take rest on the following day but third day I am in gym again. b eauty l aun chpad | 11.15

BEAUTY/Celeb talk

ISHITA SHARMA Actress of Pyaar Ka Punchnama

Ishita Sharma, the ‘witty’ face of Pyaar Ka Punchnama, a popular rom-com series, this Delhi girl was in her city for the opening of Sakhiya Skin Clinic and that’s when she shared with us how she maintains a camera-friendly flawless skin.

Tell us something about the look you sported in the movie.

Contrary to the look I sported in the first movie, this time I adorned very hot and bold look. As my character is authoritative, the look given to me was sexy. My character is of an effortless girl with minimal makeup, smart clothes and a bit of tied-up hair look – like messy buns and pony tails. When we shot in Krabi, I sported beachy waves and out curls.

What routine you follow for your, makeup, skincare and fitness?

It is very important for everyone to look-after yourself. I am very close to nature so I prefer minimal makeup. Even for movies also I prefer minimal makeup.

As far as fitness is concerned, it is important to stay in shape. It makes you feel good about yourself. I personally am not a very gym person and prefer yoga. I am not in favour of crash dieting but eating healthy is important. Have coconut water instead of carbonated drinks.

I am blessed with a clear skin so I do proper cleansing, toning and moisturising.

I am religious with sunscreen and take plenty of water. One can go for laser hair reduction treatment than bleaching as it affects the suppleness of the skin.

For hair, I try and regularly oil my hair rather than going for hair spas. I usually don’t keep long nails and go for manicure fortnightly.

How does your routine differ during festivals?

During festivals, everyone is looking out to have glowing skin so keep moisturising your skin, have copious amount of water, do overnight oiling of your skin. Try to follow your fitness routine even during festivals. There can be a quick home remedy for glowing skin is washing your face with milk. That gives radiance to the skin.

Having captured a million hearts in the ’90s, Sonali Bendre still looks resplendent in her elegance and beauty. As brand ambassador of Oriflame, Sonali shared her experience with the brand that has empowered women the world over.

You have been associated with Oriflame for so many years. How does your association with Oriflame stand today and how has it grown over time?

When I started off I didn’t know much about the products. I knew the brand and found its way of working very interesting.

It was heartening to see the brand empowering women including housewives to earn an independent income. I have met so many women who have built their lives around this company. That factor really fascinated me and that was one thing that differentiated Oriflame from other brands. The brand is not just about beauty and beauty products, it’s also about the women who like and use these products.

Not having a shop or any retail outlet and cutting down all the frills, enabled the brand to put quality into the product.

Whatever the brand invested was passed on to the customer.

I was totally sold on the products.

What responsibility rests on your shoulders as the brand ambassador of Oriflame?

I believe that as a brand ambassador of any brand, there is some amount of responsibility on you all the time. Through my career I have not endorsed brands for alcohol, cigarettes, etc. When I started off I was 15 or 16 years old. At that time I

was not a role model, not somebody people looked up to and emulated. But with time I grew wiser and chose the brands I endorsed selectively. Today, I don’t claim to be a role model to a million women, perhaps I might be a role model just to 10 but that in itself is a big responsibility. It starts with the idea that I am not just a model, but also a role model.

What kind of skin do you have?

I have extremely sensitive skin. So, I am very selective with the products that go on it. For my skin, the less the product, the better it is. That’s why it was important for me to know how Oriflame products worked on my skin. I didn’t get break outs after using them, these products are gently on my skin.

The tagline for the latest range by Oriflame is ‘love nature’. How do you incorporate the love nature idea in your life?

I don’t think I love nature enough. According to my son, I should be more environment-friendly. He is extremely observant of nature and often asks me ‘Mom, why have you all let Earth come to this stage?’

As far as my contribution to the environment goes, I strongly believe in re-purposing products. So, I don’t throw out old stuff just because something new is in the market. For instance, I don’t give up on an outfit because I have worn it once – I repeat my clothes. I change my phone only when my old one is not functioning properly any more. I do try to take care of smaller details too, like not wasting water or electricity.

BEAUTY/Skincare

World of Cosmetology with Dr Jamuna Pai

DR JAMUNA PAI, PIONEER OF COSMETOLOGY IN INDIA AND OWNER OF BLUSH CLINIC, WAS IN DELHI AT HER CLINIC’S FIRST EVER FRANCHISEE WHEN BEAUTY LAUNCHPAD SPOKE TO HER ABOUT COSMETOLOGY INDUSTRY, TRENDS AND IDEA BEHIND THE FRANCHISEE UNIT OF BLUSH CLINIC. — BY SUKRITI SHAHI

Dr Jamauna Pai, recently authored a book ‘No One Has to Know: Smart AntiAgeing for India Skin’ and the initial few pages are full of celebrities’ reviews of treatments that helped their skin glow. Celebrity Cosmetic Physician, Author, Educator and Pioneer of Cosmetology in India, Dr Pai shares her 22 years long journey with Blush Clinic and how tough it is to become a pioneer in an idustry.

| What it takes to be a pioneer in the field of cosmetology?

It takes lot of hard work and sleepless nights to be a pioneer. You dream of it and then have to dare to do it. To pioneer anything, one needs to have a goal and then to achieve it you have to work hard towards it. With just a dream and no one else who has done it before, I planned a path without too much of financial backing. It was extreme hard work going to an unknown place with limited resources. Initially we were doing just these advanced facial treatments with machines, diagnosing and treating problem skins; then in the year 2000 I brought injectable to India. To start something, to be thinker and entrepreneur is fine but to be on top after 22 years with tough competition around is difficult. | How did you decide to have a franchisee?

It was when my son joined me in business, he suggested me to go for franchisees as we are stable in Mumbai and many people around the country ask for clinics at different locations. After opening a franchisee clinic in Pune and New Delhi, we

46

b ea u ty la u n ch p a d | 1 1 .15

are trying to plan a module where I am not needed frequently because even in these franchisee clinics, I am needed to come for three days in a month.

With my expertise and experience, I go around the world to take lectures and presentations which takes a lot of my time. Therefore, I need to have franchisee modules where I need to visit clinics infrequently.

| How do you then manage to

maintain the uniformity in standard of operations and services Blush has established?

The staff is trained as per the standards and they are maintaining everything very nicely. In the beginning, the manager, doctors, therapist, everyone comes to Mumbai to understand the Blush culture, then we send our team here to set up everything and then I come to stay with them and that’s how the culture has been set up. We have only US FDA approved machines at all our clinics.

| What are the latest trends in

cosmetology?

A 10 minutes procedure which gives contour and lift to the face done with surgical threads without doing surgery is latest. Another one is CoolSculpting technology which safely delivers precisely controlled cooling to gently and effectively target the fat cells underneath the skin while leaving the skin itself unaffected. The treated fat cells are crystallised (frozen), then die.

Over time body naturally processes the fat and eliminates these dead cells, leaving a more sculpted body.

| How did you decide to join hands

with Madhu Arora for your New Delhi franchisee?

We were looking for good partner and Madhu Arora was really interested in this. We wanted people who won’t compromise on our standards and she understood that very well. For instance we told her we want 2500 sq. ft. of area but they bought 3000 sq ft.

| What kind of customer you have here in New Delhi as compared to Mumbai?

Lot of people come from surrounding cities like Kanpur, Jaipur, Faridabad,

(R to L): DR JAMUNA PAI, MADHU ARORA, Franchise owner, Blush Clinic, New delhi

Dehradun but we see mostly upper class whereas in Mumbai we see quite a mix. While we see celebrities and industrialists, we also have people coming from suburbs for problems like acne. So there is a mixed crowd in Mumbai.

| What in terms of education in the field of cosmetology you feel should be developed in India?

I have a training school for doctors

where we take small batches and I teach for 2 weeks about finesse and technique which I have evolved. So, more of training schools are needed.

| What more the wellness industry

needs to do in terms of growth?

Wellness industry has to be an organised sector because it is too huge.

There should be certain norms that have to be followed so that people know what they are choosing. b eauty l aun chpad | 11.15

For

Perfect Makeup Base GLAM-UP YOUR LOOK A BIT MORE WITH BODYOGRAPHY VEIL FOUNDATION PRIMER – SHADED - THE FOREMOST STEP TO COMBAT SHINE AND CREATE A SMOOTH BASE FOR FOUNDATION AND MAKEUP. — BY SUKRITI SHAHI

W

hether to subside wrinkles, opt for a mattifying look or minimize the appearance of pores, Bodyography Veil Foundation Primer – Shaded does it all while creating a velvety base for make-up. With antioxidants, Vitamin A and E along with Jojoba and Grape Seed oil, this weightless anti-aging primer fills in fine lines and wrinkles, prevents collagen breakdown and gives the skin a silky smooth, long lasting, flawless base.

Vidushi Agarwal, Head – Brands at Headstart International says, ‘Bodyography presents a gluten vegan free primer that is indeed a superb product. It makes your skin feel extremely soft, revives skin tone for a younger feel and reduces the amount of foundation required. If you haven’t been using this makeup primer, you’re really missing out on a great innovation in your makeup kit’.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT PRIMER

When it comes to a face primer, the law of opposites attract fails. For example, if one uses an oil-based foundation then choose an oil-based facial primer as well.

This will help both blend well with each other else, a combination of water-based primer with an oil-based foundation, will never be achieved as they won’t mix at all. Using silicone finish primers with an oil-based or water based foundation can disrupt the primer, leaving the makeup wet and spotted. One can also choose a tinted face primer as its different colours will affect the areas of the skin, differently and will leave the skin looking nearly flawless.

DON’T FORGET!

1.

Primers come in different hues and kinds to address specific skin concerns like fill in fine lines and

wrinkles, smoothing the skin and tighten and close wide pores

2.

There are special primers for the eyelids which help keeps eyeshadow from creasing

3.

It is also important to know about the skin type before you choose a primer. Therefore, analyze if your skin type is oily, dry or combination.

4.

Primer gives skin texture and a smooth base and therefore, helps the foundation stay longer.

5.

It should be applied only where it is needed like where there are any small lines or open pores.

6.

For a quick application, mix primer with foundation and apply both at the same time. Ensure the primer is of the same brand as foundation, as they will work best together b eauty l aun chpad | 11.15

BEAUTY/Expert talks

Painted in 2005, Damien Hirst’s “Beautiful Barbed Wire Entwining Itself in a Free Stream of Consciousness” is on display at Leland’s home.

He’s ack!

AFTER A SABBATICAL FOLLOWING THE SALE OF ARTEC, LELAND IS BACK WITH FERVOR, ON A MISSION TO INFUSE ENERGY INTO THE INDUSTRY ONCE AGAIN. HE SPEAKS WITH EXECUTIVE EDITOR AMY DODDS ON WHAT AND WHO INFLUENCES HIS PASSION FOR COLOR. B BECAUSE SCIENCE! I didn’t go into this industry to be only a haircolorist—I wanted to be a scientist and a haircolorist. I wanted to learn about the chemistry of color and which dyes and compositions would let me achieve the best results for the different types of hair and the situations we as colorists come across.

Leland

MANE MAN Michael Mazzei, owner of NuBest Salon in Manhasset, New York, and Cofounder of Artec, was my mentor.

When I was 15 years old, Michael convinced me to follow my creative passion and attend beauty school to become a colorist. I was ardent about learning the chemistry of haircolor and did so through self-education and by working with chemists in my family’s haircolor product business. I also became an apprentice in Michael’s salon where I created new, natural, milder haircolor techniques in a bleaching, over-processed haircolor world.

HUE MAN My affinity for color is my passion and the inspiration behind my distinctive, curated artwork collection, featuring some of the brightest color paintings from iconic artists such as Damien Hirst, Robert Rauschenberg, Picasso and Andy Warhol.

GET SMART Co-founding Haircolor USA in 1986 is something I’m very proud of because it was the first haircolor event with demonstrations for hundreds of people outside in the sunlight. We shared our knowledge with thousands of cosmetologists from around the world, demonstrating new color, foil highlighting and balayage techniques. It revolutionized haircolor education, was a breeding ground for advancing the importance of haircolor specialization globally and made haircolor a category that people ccould make a living on for generations.

My afnity for color, contrarian thinking, coupled with questioning ‘what should be, that is not,’ are the ethos fueling my vision and passion for what will become the remodernization and future of fashion haircolor.”

HOT HOT HEAT When I traveled with the Miami Heat to China, I was so impressed with the unique mixture of modern architecture combined with the traditional, old-world Chinese architecture on the same building. It is the epitome of eclectic.

THALION To Create Storm in Professional Skincare SUN COSMECEUTICALS HAS BROUGHT THALION TO INDIA RECENTLY, IN A FREEWHEELING CHAT WITH BEAUTY LAUNCHPAD, ANDRE PRIGENT, PRESIDENT, LABORATORIES THALION SHARES HIS VISION FOR A BRAND THAT BRINGS EXOTIC SEA TREATMENTS FOR FACE AND BODY AT COST EFFECTIVE PRICES FOR THE INDIAN SALONS AND SPAS!

André Prigent, Persident, Laboratories Thalion

From Left to Right: André Prigent, Laboratories Thalion, Umesh Purohit, MD, Sun Cosmeceuticals, Rodolphe Gagnepain, Export Manager, Laboratories Thalion

A

ndré Prigent, President, Laboratories Thalion, was in Mumbai for the launch of the brand in India. The brand is being distributed by Sun Cosmeceuticals under the supervision of MD, Umesh Purohit, who is a veteran of professional skincare product distribution.

Having its origin in a business that involves industrial farming of sea weeds, the Thalion Cosmetic division was set up by Prignet and he believes that “this unique know-how as a harvester enables us to preserve the original qualities of these precious plants to deliver them in new formulas.The high concentrations of mineral salts, trace elements, vitamins, and amino acids found in our seaweeds imbue our products with huge efficacy”.

He says that the purpose of the brand is customer satisfaction through visible results but more than anything its a brand that likes to talk about the story and the values behind it. “When I started the company, I had to explain my values, my motivation behind launching the brand. We take out time to

56

b ea u ty la u n ch p a d | 1 1 .15

share our story - to show how we harvest manufacture and create our products right from the raw materials to the finished product”.

Based in Brittany, France, the laboratories of Thalion carefully select and harvest the richest seaweeds from the Iroise Sea, a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. The seaweeds are processed within 24 hours after harvest, preserving the potency of the active ingredients extracted.

GLOBAL PRESENCE

With a global presence in over 45 countries, the brand has only one subsidiary in Germany, which is a deliberate policy as Prigent explains “when you open the brand to exports you have to consider culture of each country and regulations. We have a subsidiary in Germany, the rest are partners. As in each country you have to understand the distribution structure, culture, and regulations. We are in Japan, China, Taiwan, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore etc. in Asia and in India we have absolute confidence in our distributor - Sun Cosmeceuticals and in the abilities of Umesh”.

TRAINING & CORE STRENGTH

The brand believes in training both on the product as well as consultations. “We train in France, send trainers regularly to the partner country as we emphasise on consultation and understanding the true needs of the client, we also conduct Skype trainings”.

they have burnt in the sun.

Also vitamins and sugars have been lost or destroyed due to over exposure to the sun”.

THALION currently carries 110 products- 45 for facial and more than 3540 for body.

The brand emphasises on : • Strict selection of species • Harvesting methods to ensure that the seaweed grows again • Set-aside for the renewal of seaweed fields • Optimisation of harvesting periods according to weather conditions and seasons. THALION is constantly involved in a process to encourage sustainable development and to make use of the resources offered by the sea and seaweed in a responsible manner.

COMPREHENSIVE PRODUCT LINE & INDIAN AMBITIONS

Thalion essentially believes in bringing the authenticity of the sea in its products as seawater and seaweeds are said to be in perfect harmony with the skin. Their minerals and marine trace elements spread by osmosis and activate oxygenation and cell communication. This remarkable affinity maintains the dynamic balance of the epidermis and delivers all vital micronutrients to recover a sound skin.

Informs Prigent “one key ingredient in each product is the laminaria sea weed, we process about 10,000 tons a year, we concentrate it so that a very small quantity can deliver the minerals in sufficient amount to make the product effective.

We extract minerals like magnesium from the sea water as well. We also cultivate new sea weeds by first collecting DNA in the lab and then putting it back in sea. Hence we test it against skin conditions- melanin, skin moisture or dryness and create molecules that work effectively. Moreover you look at our sea weed they are still green and have a marine smell which is not strong. If sea weeds turn brown then that means

WELLA

Partners With

Jean Claude Biguine BEAUTY LAUNCHPAD BRINGS AN EXCLUSIVE REPORT ON THE BIGGEST NEWS IN THE BEAUTY INDUSTRY. THE FRENCH SALON CHAIN JEAN CLAUDE BIGUINE ENTERS INTO PARTNERSHIP WITH WELLA PROFESSIONALS. WE GET TOP HONCHOS OF BOTH THE BRANDS TO GIVE THEIR OPINION AND VISION ABOUT THIS PARTNERSHIP. — BY KANISHKA RAMCHANDANI

W

ella Professionals is all set to strengthen its presence in the Indian beauty market with a partnership with French salon chain Jean Claude Biguine. With such a strong and prestigious tie-up in place, the world renowned hair brand is looking forward to enhancing the hairdressing industry with cutting edge technology, new initiatives and by offering comprehensive training programmes.

To further strengthen this association Wella Professionals has extended special training programmes for Jean Claude Biguine stylists across Mumbai and Bangalore to acclimatise them to the service and product portfolio of Wella Professionals Beauty Launchpad speaks to P K Hariharan, Country Manager, Wella Professionals India about this new development and plans.

Q.

The collaboration with Jean Claude Biguine is something of a coup. How did it come about?

Well, I wouldn’t call it a coup as the word has negative connotation. We don’t do coups!

Q.

Let me reword the question. How did this takeover happen?

I must give credit to my global organisation. In this industry everybody is connected. There are many big players in the global hair industry and everybody knows Wella. Jean Claude Biguine is a big French brand. They were considering Wella as a proposition, they liked it and they decided to take it. Then the Indian team at Wella, including me, also had an interaction with the global team.

P K HARIHARAN, Country Manager, Wella Professionals India

We all liked the idea. So, we did not really have to woo anyone.

So, JCB India and Wella India implemented what the decision of the respective global teams.

At the end of the day, it’s not the money alone that matters. What many of the customers are looking at are good products with good services.

Q.

What kind of support did Wella extend to the JCB team?

It was basically education that we helped the JCB team with. They were used to the competition brand for the past few years. The staff at JCB had to unlearn the old ways and learn new techniques. Each stylist has gone through a period of training both in theory and in practise on models. They are now familiar with our product and service portfolio and now they are doing a fabulous job.

I keep getting messages about how customers, including celebrities, visited JCB and were happy with the services.

Q.

Being an erstwhile L’Oreal Professionnel and Kerastase salon chain, what challenges did Wella face in converting JCB?

It would have been a real challenge had we been dealing with novices. Here we were working with experienced professionals. So, they are already aware of the processes, for instance, they know how to mix colours. We only had to tell them our proportions.

Identifying hair types differs from company to company.

Each brand has its own set of products for different hair types. Since these guys were already professionals, they had

no problem in learning our techniques.

We didn’t really face any challenge as both Wella and JCB had strategically united. Problems arise when you are forcing somebody to accept something new.

Q.

Which brands from the Wella portfolio will be available at JCB?

System Professional, Sebastian, Nioxin and all our colour and styling products from Wella Professionals as well as our straightening services will be available at JCB.

Q.

What kind of business are you expecting from JCB?

All their customers should convert to Wella – that’s the only objective that I have. I don’t see the point in projecting something and chasing a number. If there are 100 customers walking into JCB in a day, all 100 of them should be satisfied with our products and services – that’s our aim. We are looking at a consumer satisfaction rate of 90% +. Figures are meant for our internal work – for our sales and marketing staff, for our agencies. In the salon, it’s the customer satisfaction that counts. If a lady goes to a JCB salon, she should get a good hair colour service, an excellent hair spa service and over-the-counter product recommendations. She should be made to feel happy there.

That’s our target. If that satisfaction level jumps to 90%+, I will be happy.

Q.

How was the conversion planned?

The conversion has already taken place. All JCB salons have started using Wella. Any customer who walks in gets Wella products and services, she doesn’t have choices. This is where the salon manager plays a critical role. Every brand has products equivalent to competition and it is the manager’s job to convince the customer about the exact product that will suit the customer’s requirement.

The JCB staff is already well-versed in it.

Q.

JCB right now has 14 salons in India. This is quite low as compared to other salon chains. Your comments on this?

Personally I feel it’s not about the numbers. One should be happy with a brand irrespective of the number of salons they have, as long as they are doing a perfect job. It’s not a number game at all for us. It’s not that a salon chain with more number of salons get a special treatment. What is relevant here is the consumer profile and how the salon caters to its clientele. What kind of ambience you have, what kind of stylists you have, their expertise, etc.

Now that Wella is part of the Coty group, what changes can one expect?

It’s too early to comment on that because the final deal is not yet over. We don’t know the details yet. I haven’t even met the leadership team till now. It will happen in the next six months. Whenever it happens, we will call you over and update you with it.

Q.

Do you foresee more salon chains converting to Wella, in India at least?

It’s not just about salon chains. Tomorrow if anyone were to open a salon, I would love to support him/her and see Wella there. Similarly, if you decide to open 10 salons, I would like to support your endeavour, too. That’s the philosophy with which we work. We are the brand that gave hair colour to the world 135 years ago. In India we have been trying to drive the message home for the last 3-4 years, with lot of investment on marketing. There are consumer segments that are highly satisfied with Wella.

The whole endeavour is to make more and more customers understand this and urge them to join the party. That’s the approach I prefer. So, no matter what you call the channel dynamic – standalone salons, salon chains, multi-brand salons or multiple salon owners – we need to move on and have a good share. b eauty l aun chpad | 11.15

RESEARCH

NEW FRAGRANCE TRENDS! SEVEN SCENTS, THE UK MANUFACTURER REVEALED FRAGRANCE TRENDS FOR 2016-17

N

ext year’s autumn-winter fragrance collections look set to feature opulent berries, a violet revival and the ever popular oud, according to the findings of our latest global trends research.

Three key fragrance directions for the coming season as predicted, would be: Hedgerow Berries: represented by a rich blend of raspberries, blackberries, blackcurrant and icy red berries, this abundance of fruitfulness is coupled with woody accords and oriental nuances.

Violet: combining delicate florals, beautiful woods and lush leaves, the traditional flower has been given a modern makeover to deliver a contemporary, multi-faceted profile.

Oud: continuing its meteoric rise, this sultry note returns again to add an intense musky note to more powerful compositions.

“Autumn signals a change in mood and emotion which is reflected in our fragrance forecast. The move towards luscious berry notes and hints of vintage florals creates a sense of vibrant vitality and colour, while the strong presence of oud for yet another season not only marks its transition to the mainstream, it also brings a distinctly modern edge,” reports Kate Williams, creative perfumer,.

Inspired by these trends, we have created three new fragrance concepts; each is brought to life in a key application and can be tailored to a range of personal care and household products: Organic Elements: a fresh blend of cool spices, white woods and delicate florals; evoking remote winter landscapes and free-flowing, icy water.

A soft and gentle scent perfectly suited to babycare as well as shower products and fabric conditioner.

Cosmic Creations: futuristic fantasy meets ethereal dreamland in this magical layering of contrasting fruits, powdery florals and sweet gourmand notes; a modern fragrance which lends itself to deodorants, hairstyling and shower ranges.

Romantic Renaissance: celebrating the grandeur and drama of the period, this heady fragrance combines dark florals with warm, rich spices; an elegant addition to bar soaps, male grooming and shower products. b eauty l aun chpad | 11.15
