Inspired by the rich undertones of off-white and pale yellow that defines vanilla, this collection delves into the tranquillity, elegance, and purity that this hue brings. Vanilla, on its own, represents a serene canvas, but when combined with colours like pink, copper, blue, and brown, it awakens in a symphony of visual refinement.

Level Three, Kramerville, was the place to be on Nov 12 – a modern, chic, multi-level venue with rooftop balcony overlooking Sandton, with the fantastic 2-hour Reuzel Schorem Live Show, hosted by Modern Hair & Beauty. Hairnews’ Director Brad De Waal was on the scene and reports back. It was the opportunity to engage with Schorem’s Leen and Bertus. Stylists, barbers, industry leaders and more were all excited to immerse themselves in their esteemed presence, and to receive personalised bespoke grooming tips from the very architects of style. Who are Leen and Bertus? Pompadour wizards Leen and Bertus are not just barbers, they are artists of retro refinement and pioneers of modern barbering. Their razor-sharp skills have a cult following all over the world – from their Schorem Barbershop in Rotterdam, around the globe and all the way down to South Africa! These illustrious creators of Reuzel, the world’s finest pomade, will always unveil techniques that will forever elevate the barbering game. Joburg - The Main Event More than just an event, it was a full-blown journey of epic proportions, where the Reuzel spirit reigned supreme. It was a 2-hour live show with an opportunity for a face-to-face discussion with the specialist artisans themselves. Inside the venue, 4 big screens showcased Reuzel, barber chairs stood ready and multiple stands with Reuzel products were on display, easily accessible for testing, experimentation and orders. The rooftop bar on the third level, had the food laid out for all the Reuzel event guests, all professionally catered buffet style. Stylists, barbers, and industry leaders experienced an amazing evening of wild music, with a gritty, raw and energetic atmosphere. Cameras displayed onto the big screens, making all the cuts and demos on stage easily visible for all to see and enjoy. While Leen and Bertus (Robert) entered to roaring applause and excitement. Leen immediately swung into action and started cutting hair to perfection, while Bertus displayed his own branded Mizutani scissors and as a brilliant storyteller, charmed the crowd with his charismatic personality, jokes, relatable stories, and vibrant attitude. Guests were constantly cheering, laughing and actively engaged in the show with Bertus who never stopped entertaining with impactful stories, vital tips, informative techniques, all mixed with jokes and intense storytelling, with the occasional Afrikaans slang “kak” or “lekker” thrown in there, too. Leen masterfully did the cuts and only piped up with an occasional “next!” to bring the next model onto stage for a cut. Bertus regaled the guests with personal stories about how they came up with their name, their development as specialists in their crafts, and their clients that became family. Stories were bandied about, from forbidding phones and laptops in the barber shop so that people could actually talk to each other, to creating a “menu” of styles for the shop. It was amazing to watch two masters at work! Modern Hair and Beauty Managing Director, Chris Stofberg introduced Jacques Nortje, National Sales Manager for Modern Hair and Beauty, to the attentive crowd to really personalise his role with Modern Hair & Beauty and with Reuzel. Jacques in turn introduced Marketing Assistant, Natalie Blom, who handles everything Reuzel in South Africa, putting faces to the names of all the team members. The fun night was highlighted with 3 giveaways of Reuzel product hampers, and The Chop Shop in Bloemfontein was thrilled to win Retailer of the Year for the barbershop who purchased the most Reuzel products per barber for FY23! All in all, a sensational evening was had by all to really experience the savvy, brilliant creators of Reuzel and their acclaimed styling products. Reuzel: Created By Barbers, Used By Everyone Reuzel (roo-'zul) spelled with a Z, pronounced with a middle finger. 1. (n) A term originating from the Dutch language, meaning lard. 2. (n) The finest, world-renowned brand of styling products known for unbeatable quality, performance, and swagger. No lard included. No Pigs Were Harmed in the Making of Reuzel Products Reuzel has left out the pig fat. Its beloved pig mascot celebrates both the history of pomades and animals being free from harm, because Reuzel loves animals! With the exception of a few products that contain beeswax*, Reuzel never tests on animals, is 100% vegan, and proud to be certified by Leaping Bunny as a cruelty free company.

For some time now, we have acknowledged the existence of a psychological contract alongside the official employment agreement. However, it has only been recently that this concept has been formally recognised in legislation. The reality is that while employees offer their labour to employers, this was never intended to lead to a relationship where human dignity is disregarded, and it becomes a master-servant dynamic. In fact, the Latin phrase "contra bonos mores," meaning contrary to morals, customs, or a good way of life, has always been a core legal principle. Regrettably, it is only in recent times that the Code of Good Practice on the Prevention and Elimination of Harassment has shed more light on what a psychologically safe work environment should entail, by defining its characteristics – Not joking at the expense of others Constant criticism Marginalisation Threats of dismissal Victimisation Racism and sexual harassment Or any other conduct that undermines human dignity. Unfortunately, due to the significant uncertainty and disruptions in recent years, numerous workplaces have turned more toxic because people struggle with self-awareness, self-regulation, and effective leadership. Nonetheless, it is important to note that Emotional Intelligence (EQ) can be developed and is closely tied to better overall organisational performance. South African legislation emphasizes the importance of maintaining a safe and respectful work environment through the Code of Good Practice on the Prevention and Elimination of Harassment. The code aims to address and eliminate harassment in workplaces and highlights that a psychologically safe environment is essential, where employees are treated with dignity and respect. The code emphasizes the need for employers to take proactive measures to prevent harassment, including clear policies, training, and effective reporting mechanisms. It encourages a culture of awareness, sensitivity, and accountability. By adhering to this code, workplaces can foster a healthier and more productive atmosphere while upholding the principles of equality and fairness. A Harassment policy should provide and promote the following principles at least to create a safe and respectful work environment: No Tolerance: Establish a clear policy that harassment in any form is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Definition of Harassment: Clearly define what constitutes harassment, including various forms such as verbal, physical, visual, and online harassment. Education and Training: Provide training to employees to help them understand what constitutes harassment, how to recognize it, and how to report incidents. Reporting Mechanisms: Implement a confidential and accessible system for reporting harassment incidents, ensuring protection for whistleblowers. Investigation and Resolution: Outline a fair and impartial process for investigating complaints and taking appropriate actions to address and resolve them. Support for Victims: Offer support mechanisms for victims of harassment, including counselling and resources to cope with the effects. Accountability: Hold both harassers and bystanders accountable for their actions or inaction. Prevention Strategies: Implement measures to prevent harassment, such as fostering a culture of respect, diversity, and inclusion, and promoting awareness campaigns. Leadership Commitment: Demonstrate strong leadership commitment to promoting a harassment-free workplace. Regular Review: Periodically review and update the policy and procedures to ensure their effectiveness and relevance.
