The fabulous BHE Styler will keep your clients happy with exciting styling opportunities and healthy strong hair. Let's talk about three excellent reasons why the Keratin Infused Plates on BHE Stylers are such an awesome addition to your styling and salon’s equipment range! 1. The BHE Styler‘s unique SMART plates are infused with keratin - a protein that makes up a big part of hair. This means that when you use these stylers every day in the salon, your clients’ hair is protected from heat damage. The keratin layer on the plates protects hair during use, creating a barrier between the plates and the hair, so delicate locks don't get fried while you're styling them. This added protection helps keep hair looking healthy and shiny, giving your clients the results they want, easily and effectively! 2. Using these keratin-infused plates make even the most difficult hair super smooth and frizz-free. The plates glide smoothly over the hair, reducing friction and minimizing frizz, while the keratin helps seal the hair cuticles, so hair stays sleek and frizz-free all day long after styling. 3. Intele Sense on the plates ensures even heat distribution for effortless and smooth gliding and styling of hair. Take a look at what the BHE Styler is doing for the stylists who have taken their creative game to the next level with it! If you want to maximise the protection for your clients’ hair during service after service, shielding hair from heat damage and producing the most incredibly shiny smooth, frizz-free locks, BHE Stylers with Keratin Infused Plates are a must-have. So go ahead, get yourself one and add an amazing new tool to your styling and salon equipment range and start enjoying the benefits of keratin-infused styling! Automated technology makes your styling easier: • The stylers offer advanced temperature control with a one-touch setting and clear LED display • Train your styler to memorise your last temperature setting – switch on and style! • Stylers come with a 360 degree swivel cord for incredible freedom of movement while you create. Features for a safer workspace: The iron’s plates come complete with a protective heat guard, and the BHE styler features intelligent sleep technology that puts the styler into hibernation mode after 20 minutes non-use, for safety and peace of mind on a busy day. Working internationally? No problem! The BHE Styler automatically adjust itself to varying power sources with international voltage adaptability, fully operational with mains voltage ranging from 90v-240v, 50Hz ac. In the unlikely event that your BHE product develops a fault, these top quality stylers have a two year guarantee! BHE - Hairstyling has never been so comfortable and well supported by a brand! Your tools are your business investments that must last. BHE makes sure there is no guesswork or downtime, with your work made so quick and comfortable and stress-free, reducing service time while your clients are thrilled with such healthy, luxuriant hair and styling!

Welcome to the LAUNCH and FIRST edition of THREESIXFIVE Business When people have legal problems, they go to a lawyer. If they have a health problem they go to a doctor, if they have financial issues, they go to their accountant or financial adviser. Even big corporations, that have many important decisions to make, will check with their 'experts'. The burning question in the Hair & Beauty industry is where can salons and spa owners go to when they need advice on the way they are running their business? Traditionally people learn the industry by coming up through the ranks, attending seminars and by reading articles related to the industry. Otherwise it is trial and error. In my experience these resources often tell you what needs to be done, and why you need to do it. But very seldom does it show you HOW! So having a team of experts to go to for advice on any aspect of business specifically related to the hair and beauty industry makes perfectly good sense. This has given birth to THREESIXFIVE Business, an information hub for the Hair & Beauty Industry. WHO ARE WE? THREESIXFIVE Business is the brain-child of Terry Miles, owner of MySalonSoftware but is targeted at every player in the hair & beauty industry, whether they use software or not, whether they are a one-man-show or own a group of salons. Our information is shared in the interest of empowering salon owners with more of the HOW! Over time we will include business ideas, tips and contributions from various industry experts who are willing to share their knowledge and experiences. AFTER ALL, SHARING IS CARING “OUR AREA OF EXPERTISE AND INDUSTRY CREDENTIALS" We have many years’ experience in the hair & beauty industry, medical aesthetics practices and wellness business. Our experience includes importation and distribution of professional products to the salon industry, operating a group of hair and beauty salon in SA and the UK. Skills development training with SSETA, Business Partners and the Hairdressing Bargaining Council as well as many years writing business articles for both Hairnews and Salon International. WE KNOW THE HAIR AND BEAUTY INDUSTRY TO ACHIEVE YOUR DREAM, YOU HAVE TO BUILD YOUR TEAM. In these seven words lies the wisdom of generations and certainly the key to success! Success should not be only for the salon owner. Every person involved in creating that success MUST share in the benefits from that success provided they contribute to the success. You employ staff to fulfill a function, whether it is a stylist, therapist, reception or operator. 2024 START RIGHT, STAY RIGHT.IF YOU FAIL TO PLAN, YOU PLAN TO FAIL One of the most important things to do at the beginning of every New Year is to create a Staff & Sales Plan. In a nutshell, you are projecting the turnover you plan to achieve this coming year in comparison to the turnover you achieved this past year. Why is this necessary? The cost of running your business increases every year If you don’t PLAN to grow your business it will automatically shrink Staff will only stay loyal to a business that is growing To protect your PROFIT line To achieve growth you will need to deploy a number of strategies:- Adjust your prices to allow for inflation Have a NEW CLIENT strategy Introduce new products or services Upskill your staff to get them to introduce new products and services to existing clients WE WILL be covering each of these business strategies, in more depth, in the months ahead. Send all the above info to info@mysalonsoftware.co.za
