Take a look and see how Ezilda Lerm transformed this faded style into purple perfection. Click the image below to see the Instagram post. Process We did a scalp bleach with Wella Blondorplex & 13 vol. Rinsed and then applied Goldwell Elumen VV@all with a drop of Bl@all to the root area, mids-ends we used Goldwell Elumen Clear mixed with VV@all.

For salon owners, this is a crucial question! After years of building a successful business, how safe is your data - client data base, client preferences, turnover records, profit & loss history, sales history - all the information that makes up your intellectual property? Computers have a finite lifespan As a general rule, it is better to be cloud-based (online) than to have your system sit on your computer. This is because all hardware has a life but can also break down unexpectedly and for any number of reasons. Unless you back up your data regularly (ideally daily) you will lose it and will have to start again. If you are cloud-based and your computer breaks down or gets stolen, you just use another device (laptop, tablet or even your smart phone). Virus Threats A second threat is viruses. Whether you use a server base or online system, every time you use the internet, even for just emails, you are at risk of viruses getting in to your system and 'having their way' with your data. Needless to say, keep your anti-virus programme must be kept up to date. Last but not least is the threat from within. I know it's difficult to believe, however not everyone is as honest as they should be and, like most companies, staff should be assessed regarding access to your salon's data. Firstly, all staff using the system MUST have their own username and password which should not be shared with colleagues. This will allow the Administrator to know exactly who did what, and when. Secondly, staff should be given minimal access according the role they play in the salon. This can range from just making appointments, handling stock takes and orders, cashing up at the end of the day or being able to access all data to create a set of financials. Any good salon software should be able to block functions, menus and even buttons making it personalised for your business. As a rule-of-thumb, the delete button, the print button and even the ability to change dates and details should require administrative override. Outside help may be a good idea You work hard for your business so it's worth doing a security risk analysis every now and then, so speak to your IT support company or your salon software provider. It's better to be safe than sorry. - Terry Miles, MD of MySalon Software Email: info@mysalonsoftware.co.za Web: mysalonsoftware.co.za

Embarking on a career at sea is the adventure of a lifetime, travelling the world, seeing exotic ports, and building your nest egg, all while doing what you love most! But what happens after you complete your contract onboard your cruise ship? Here are some career options that are available to you. We look at the life skills and career skills gained when working onboard a cruise ship, and how this enhances your career CV and prospects for the future, and how the experience can supercharge your career as a professional. What are the biggest benefits of doing a cruise ship contract? It’s the most rewarding way by traveling the world and earning money, with a huge amount of self-discipline and entrepreneurial skills developed whilst enjoying an incredible lifestyle! All while gaining experience working on international waters with a diverse clientele and team of multiple nationalities. This can take you out of your comfort zone, giving you the soft people skills that you just will not experience in a spa on land at home. How can London Wellness Academy training help your future career? The training is strict and professional. You are trained to look and act professionally at all times, while the independent working environment builds your confidence and business acumen. Your business experience receives a broad range of training not only in running a business, but you get experience in an array of many different services. In a land-based, fixed location spa or salon, treatments can be more repetitive, with less range in different services. Because training at the Academy includes tailor-made treatments, products and procedures used in the spas onboard, this sets us apart. The excellence in education you’ll receive means shipboard guests receive consistent, high calibre treatments in any of our spas on any of our cruise ships. Personal Business Skills Development Being confident and comfortable with achieving targets plus having the ability to be adaptive in all scenarios is fundamental in team building and in your own success in the business! In an onboard experience, you work in a 5-star spa, needing to deliver 5-star quality every day, with a far more intensive, inspiring atmosphere. On land, you can set your own pace, but onboard it’s a fast-paced, challenging work environment. You need to be flexible, energetic, and positive. You have an incredible opportunity gaining life skills and increasing your knowledge and experience in your profession, working with and on so many different nationalities from so many parts of the world! When employers see on your CV that you have worked onboard, they know that you are used to working under pressure of time and quality of services, that your personal skills and etiquette in dealing with guests is of the highest calibre. What sets our staff aside is a sense of providing the best quality at all times. So many career options are available to you once you’ve accomplished your first contract onboard! • Renew Your Contract and Continue your World Tour Many hairstylists find that they love the experience so much that they sign up for another contract, and often end up doing three or more. The advantage of this is you have a choice of ships after your first contract and can start to plan your worldwide travels to include all the destinations you long to see. The more time you spend working on board, the more you will earn tax-free with all expenses paid, and the bigger your nest egg of savings will eventually be. • Becoming a Cruise Ship Spa Manager Yourself If you are keen to advance in your career on board ship, and you love the challenge of managing a team, then once you have gained sufficient experience, you can progress to managing an onboard spa and continue travelling the world! • Landing Your Dream Salon Job – At Home or Abroad! London Wellness Academy-trained staff are highly sought after, and top salon owners all over the world know what calibre of person they are, and the skills and work ethic that they possess. As a result, you can apply for a job at your dream salon, or in a related field such as an educator or technician, with a far greater chance of being accepted because your contract on board is a CV highlight that sets you apart and is internationally recognised. • Opening Your Own Salon If you decide to open your own salon after you complete your contract, you will have a nest egg of savings to invest in your venture and your skills, along with the independence, retail experience, and work ethic that will give you a great advantage in the world of business ownership. • Be Welcomed Back as an Incredible Asset to your Former Salon with a Whole New Business Skillset! More and more salon owners are supporting their staff in the decision to take a “gap year” and work onboard and are keeping their job open, welcoming them back into the salon after their contract. This is a win-win, as the salon benefits from your upgraded skills and expertise, and you can resume your career and continue building your clientele – while your incredible experience on board will also have prepared you for a salon manager, or art team, role. Your career options after your contract are literally whatever you choose! Completing a cruise ship contract is your passport to your dream job. A cruise ship contract is a huge asset to your CV that is respected by top salons worldwide. It opens doors and brings new opportunities as the adventure of a lifetime, offering an experience that you will remember forever. Are you keen for the adventure of a lifetime, while earning an excellent income and working in the career you love?

One of the biggest threats to building a successful business is high staff turnover. Two of the best dynamics for building a clientele are consistency and availability. So obviously when the first dynamic exists, the second cannot be achieved. What to Do? While there is no absolute solution for staff turnover, there are a number of things that can be done to minimise the problem. Often the problem happens because you employed the wrong person in the first place. If you have a number of candidates for the job, it’s easier to pick the best on - but if there aren’t, you might be tempted to employ the only candidate. Experience has shown it’s better to leave the position open until you find the right person. The first three months are crucial in determining how long someone remains in your employ. When someone joins your team, both you and the new employee have expectations, which can be the main reason they leave, if expectations aren’t aligned. When somebody joins your team, make sure they understand Team Values. Common respect for everybody's right to be happy and successful. Negative issues must NEVER be brought into the salon especially race, religion, and gender difference. Most importantly, the Customer belongs to the salon and, as such they each are everybody's client. If you want staff to become an asset in your business, you need to invest in them. From day one, staff are entitled to be given every opportunity to be successful. This includes being given a fair share of the walk-in business. It also means getting constructive feed-back regarding the quality of their work, their ability to consult with clients, and finally, their ability to grow the business. After one or two performance reviews, staff should be ready to set their own targets and take responsibility for their monthly earnings. Try to adopt the mindset that staff are your internal customers and treat them the way you want them to treat your salon clients. - Terry Miles, MD of MySalon Software Email: info@mysalonsoftware.co.za Web: mysalonsoftware.co.za
