Multi award-winning hair director, Hermiz Daniel finessed Amazing Hair’s hair extensions to their absolute advantage, creating these bedazzling, fashion looks that draw from the iconic styles of past decades. “With our new collection, it’s impossible to miss the ‘wow’ factor,” says Amazing Hair managing director Ariana Mantzaris. “Think Bridgette Bardot, Pamela Anderson, Gwen Stefani, Beyonce, Bond girls, Bollywood and Hollywood.” These hairstyles are the cornerstones of ‘girl power,’ showing each woman’s brand of sass and attitude. Hence, each hair fashion look has a name: Classic, Compelling, Demure, Empowering, Fearless, Hedonistic, Iconic and Influential. The Effortless Sophistication woman remains beautiful and feminine as she bounds towards her next success. Amazing Hair’s looks are globally relevant and prove just how much can be done with quality hair extensions.

Since the beginning of TIME, time has been both a determining force and something you cannot hold on to. Time: Perception Time is also deceptive and misleading. For example, young people believe that time is on their side. We all did when we were young. However, if you have a near-death experience or as you get older, you realise time is a diminishing asset and needs to be taken more seriously. Time also changes depending on current experience - for example when kissing good night to your sweetheart, a ten second kiss seems to last only a second, while if you accidentally touch extreme hot or extreme cold, ten seconds seems to last forever. Time Management: A Skill In business, you only have limited trading hours and you cannot afford to waste time. Time management is a very important skill which is not always understood. For example, the value of weekdays, particularly the first half of the week is not as valuable as Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. This logic can be applied to time in general. Certain months of the year tend to be busier than other. Even client age is significant: people spend more time and money on their appearance and well-being as they get older and have more disposable income. When booking clients, the salon business time needs to be ‘sold’ based on its value. This can be done by a well-trained receptionist simply by NOT asking clients when (as in what day and what time) they would like to come in but rather by guiding clients towards the quieter times of the week and of the time of day. It doesn’t take long to know which times of the day and week are most popular and keep them open by recommending the other times of the day or week. By ‘selling’ your appointment times, you should end up with a fuller appointment book.

Ancient Cleansing Rituals for the healthiest and best care for the mature male client. DEPOT® helps your retail bring the best to your clientele in the finest tradition. Korean Beauty Beauty care is an art that is nurtured from childhood in Korea and handed down from generation to generation. For Koreans, appearance reflects personality Skin care on the verge of obsession, which began during the Three Kingdoms period, uses layers of cosmetics with light textures and functional active ingredients, the so-called “LAYERING” routine. The texture of the cleansing mousse cleanses deeply yet gently and is the fundamental Step 2 in KOREAN SKINCARE. Oil Cleanse Water Cleanser Exfoliator Essence Serums Mask Eye Cream Emulsion Moisturiser Sun Protection If in the first step we talk about oil-based cleansing, the second is the real FOAM CLEANSING with a water-based product that can have the consistency of a FOAM or mousse.

Like all my collections, MIST maintains a nostalgic and dystopian mood. I was inspired by punk and British fashion in the 70s, which was eclectic, unisex and unique, and continues to influence fashion in a cyclical way. New generations are born into a digital world flooded with personalised, device-controlled advertising, which has led to a growing personal and widespread dissatisfaction with not being able to fulfil desires immediately. This lack of clarity of thought causes a fog or haze in society, which directs us seemingly aimlessly but in reality, is being calculated by algorithms and artificial intelligence. In my opinion, the future is neither utopian nor dystopian, as technology provides us with so much information and possibilities that it helps us to deepen the individualisation or protopia of the subject. This collection has been edited entirely through artificial intelligence processes, fusing models, hair and styling to achieve stunning images.

Permacrisis – “an extended period of instability and insecurity, especially one resulting from a series of catastrophic events.” Due to continuous disruptors like the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, the relapse of the global economy, social crises, interest hikes, and loadshedding / watershedding, as leaders whether it be in the workplace or in an industry or community, it has become more and more difficult to lead during uncertainty. We are all in “survival mode” and stuck in the cycle of crisis. From a workplace perspective, the challenge of resignations and quiet quitting is a real problem. Not only in the Hairdressing, Cosmetology, Skincare, and Beauty Industry but in other sectors as well. We have been hit with one disruption after the other, giving life and meaning to the term “permacrisis”. How do we understand, adapt, and establish leadership trends in a “permacrisis” world? Typically, a leader in a crisis will focus on long-term strategy, ensuring that the company’s values are held intact, and prioritising the needs of clients and employees to maintain a positive public perception during the time of the crisis. Now we are required to adapt our attitudes, in how we engage others, and in how we find creative ways to do things. New “crisis” leadership styles: There is a great demand for authentic and servant leaders. These are leaders who are honest, transparent, and self-aware, as well as leaders who recognise that they are there for others and not others there for them. This type of leader builds trust and is the strongest predictor of job satisfaction, positively influencing the work climate, and ensuring greater productivity and higher levels of engagement. In times of crisis, it is vital that employees trust their leaders and stay engaged. Your staff and or clients need to feel and be acknowledged, know what to expect, have the flexibility to adapt where needed, feel connected to others, and be treated fairly. Let this be your leadership guide during times of crisis as it will assist you in embracing challenges and utilising opportunities. Emotional Intelligence (EQ): Emotional Intelligence is a fundamental leadership attribute for shaping an engaged and high-performing company and workforce. Emotionally intelligent leaders are able to self-regulate their own emotions while empathising and connecting with others, i.e. they know how to make people feel safe and elevate people. In times of disruption, an emotionally intelligent leader is able to remove fear, provide direction and purpose, and be present with their teams to help them navigate diverse challenges. They create a psychologically safe space where team members are encouraged to speak up, take risks, and ask for help. Skills such as self-awareness, empathy, active listening, motivation, and social skills are the foundation of a great change leader. Holding on to our teams: Over the past few years, we have continued to experience the “Great Resignation” and “Quiet Quitting”. With the pandemic compelling us to rethink our priorities and many employees disengaging, the recruitment and retaining of talent challenge is continuing to grow. This has, and will continue to, alter the workforce. In our own industry, we have seen an influx of independent contractors and more and more employees not performing to acceptable and optimal standards resulting in a loss in productivity and morale, burnout, and increased disciplinary actions needed to be taken. Leaders need to be agile and, in order to attract and retain talent, ensure that they provide a work environment that is attractive to employees. Flexibility in terms of time and workspace, while ensuring a safe, inclusive culture, will increase your chances of retaining your loyal employees and recruiting new ones. Job fulfillment, learning opportunities, flexibility, as well as diverse and value-orientated work environments, have become requirements for many job seekers. Staying true to the vision: Crises test our faith in the future. When our vision – our promise to our employees – is not trusted, we risk disengaging our employees and losing valuable talent. The psychological term “holding” describes the way a person (such as a leader) contains and interprets what happens in times of uncertainty, As leaders, we have the responsibility to soothe distress (contain the crisis) and help others make sense of it (interpret the crisis) to gain their trust in our long-term vision. If leaders are unable to offer reassurance and orientate their workforce, anger, anxiety, and fragmentation will occur and, inevitably, this will fuel resignation and quiet quitting.

From grown-out blonde to platinum masterpiece. Another incredible finished look done by Leandi Beukes from Parlor Hair in Cape Town. Click the image below to see the Instagram post. Process This blonde was a 6 month regrowth. I did a platinum card technique with L’anza lightener, leaving about 1cm of regrowth while the middle part processed to a level 9. I then reapplied to the roots and blended down until all had lifted to a level 10. I then rinsed and used the bleach residue to even out old toner. I then toned with Kadus 10/6 and 1.9% and moisturised with Goldwell Rich Repair 60sec treatment.

When business is quiet it makes one wonder where all the clients have gone. Several questions can spring to mind. Has hairdressing become so expensive that clients are going for cheaper options? People will always look for value for their money and, it makes sense that if their disposable income shrinks they will look around for cheaper options. But that IS NOT the primary reason clients stop coming to a salon. The real reason is probably that they were neglected and no longer receiving the value for the money they pay. Or has having one's hair done gone out of fashion? Considering the role 'looking good and feeling great' plays in people's lives, that is very unlikely. Hairdressing will NEVER go out of fashion, but maybe your work has! How Can We Solve This? Maybe we should not be so focused on attracting new clients into our salon and be more focused on finding out why the hundreds, if not thousands of clients that had previously visited the salon, no longer do so...and reversing this trend. If you are not running your business using a CRM package, good luck! CRM stands for Client Relationship Management. This simple but powerful software gives you complete control over every aspect of the very core of your business, your clients. Things such as: Client birthdays and anniversaries Date of last visit Monetary spend Number services they have done How many referrals they send you Their personal preferences ...the list is endless, but the results are powerful! Can you imagine knowing which 20% or your clients contribute 80% to your turnover and knowing which ones you can’t afford to lose? How many new clients do you get every month, and how many do you lose? Is your chemical business growing? Is the average spend of your clients increasing year on year? This is the power of CRM.
