Are you keen to increase dockets in 2020, earn better, and offer your clients more? Here’s an interview with Eric Way from Groomed Academy on some barbering services that will bring huge added value to your clients and to you. Q: The dreaded “quiet months” at the beginning of the year are always a headache and a worry for salons. What is your advice to help salons keep busy? A: It is always challenging to come up with ideas that can help create a buzz in the Salon during the quiet months.

The cost per application is so minim

Leading hairstylist Jadie Herbst from Jadie Professionals in Bloemfontein recently posted on the salon’s social media about when long hair is “too long” and when she thinks that clients should be ready to chop off a few inches for a better look. Do you agree with this? If so let us know by emailing info@hairnews.co.za with your views on long hair. I’m pro long hair - always have been. I’m not “that” stylist that cuts off 10cm after being asked to cut off 1cm. I take the time to explain to clients WHY you have to cut your hair and keep the ends healthy, and WHY your hair won’t grow if you don’t. But lately I can’t help feeling a bit “over” long hair. I see these beautiful, stunning young girl

What sorcery is this? Time spent: 6 hours. 250g of Bleach, 100ml colour, 650ml peroxide used and 1451 foils later. (Just kidding) 253 foils later. She is Blond!!!! We did full head foil with bleach and 20vol. And Bleach and 1,5vol. Why 1,5 vol you might ask? As you can see in the video and pics, some parts of the hair was already lightened. It just had a very yellow brassy under tone. All I want to do is take out that brassy yellow and make it a cleaner blond without damaging it any further. The foils was as thin and fine as I could possibly make them and almost packed in back to back. I spent almost 150 min foiling the hair, rinsing the back part, half way through at 75 min in. Toner used

A salon marches its way through the festive season on its stomach. At such a busy time, when you’re working such long days, having snacks in the back room that you can grab when the moment allows, makes a huge difference. Budget for eats every day in the salon or take turns to bring them (reasonably healthy eats if possible!) and you’ll find the benefits will show in a much more productive working day.

I cannot believe I am writing a Christmas message, the years seem to fly by faster and faster. I’m not sure if it’s my perception of time that’s changed or the modern world, as it keeps us so busy that we no longer take time to relax and reflect on our lives. Once again 2019 has been an extremely difficult year, both socially and economically in SA. It seems like I have been mentioning this in my last 5 Christmas messages. Unfortunately this is our reality and we have to find a way to succeed and grow in spite of circumstances. The most important aspect to success is taking personal responsibility over how your life evolves. It’s all too easy to blame circumstances over which we have no cont
