Lewis Thomas, owner of the famous Partners Hair Design salon chain in Cape Town, has expanded his business into Gauteng, opening a new Partners Hair Design Gents salon at the Mall of the South, in partnership with the well known Chase Meakin. The Partners Hair Design story began more than 30 years ago, when Lewis arrived from the UK with little luggage, less money, but a burning ambition to succeed in his chosen profession. With his wife’s support – and the funds raised from selling her car – he realised the beginnings of his dream when he opened his first salon in Cavendish Close, Cape Town, in 1984. Today, the group is an established and highly successful business made up of 14 unisex and 8 gents’ salons. This Johannesburg salon marks the next step in the Partners journey and we wish Lewis and Chase all the very best.

Create a memorable and repeatable client experience – Tabatha Coffey. Tabatha Coffey, Australian hairstylist, salon owner and television personality, says salons need to stay as consistent and unique as possible – and don’t think clients won’t notice the small details. She tells a story about one salon where they had a bowl of sweets at reception for clients to dip into after their service. One day they took the sweets away – and clients noticed and began asking where the sweets were. That tiny detail had come to mean a lot to them, and they missed the pleasure of choosing a sweet when it was gone.

By Hlengi Hans Ngidi, THASA Alberton Skills Development Programme Manager The Gauteng Department of Social Development is welcoming all students to THASA Alberton (The Hair Academy of South Africa). The hairdressing skills development program is created to improve the earning potential and circumstances of previously disadvantaged youth in South Africa, by providing high-quality training which will enable them to find employment within the hair and beauty industry. This training boosts self-esteem, fosters motivation and social interaction and gives trainees the chance to enter into exciting, people-oriented careers. Beauty has the power to change lives, and we know that educating one young person is educating a generation. Students will go through a professional training program, thus enabling them to become skilled hairdressers. The Academy is currently being renovated and enlarged to accommodate these students in this beautiful, easily accessible centre of learning. We wish all trainees a wonderful future in hairdressing!
