The Wella Signature Naturals Trend Launch brought together the hottest social media influencers and beauty enthusiasts for an evening of creativity and inspiration. The A/W’23 event was held at Excentric on Kloof in Cape Town and showcased three all-new Signature Naturals shade trends and techniques, all while offering guests the opportunity to connect and mingle with industry professionals and other social media influencers. A/W’23 Signature Naturals trends Senior Wella Ambassadors Flo Neacsu and Charles Junior Louw took to the spotlight, sharing their Signature Naturals trend creations, insights and techniques. These included a showcase of four natural-looking and understated techniques and a question and answer opportunity to ensure that guests stay ahead of the trends. Signature Naturals enhances natural beauty and individuality and the ambassadors’ models did just that. #rockyournatural Flo’s expressive Intense Brunette perfectly mimicked sun-kissed hair with warm tones and zero brassiness. His Smoky Lavender, created from blonde, gave us a perfectly cool brunette with dark olive undertones, proving that natural doesn’t have to be boring! Charles Junior concentrated on the character blondes trend and his Mirror Lights delivered delightful creamy blonde pops with a halo technique.

Dr. Timothy Clark developed a framework consisting of four stages of psychological safety that individuals need to progress through in order to feel comfortable speaking up and making valuable contributions: Stage 1: Inclusion Safety, where team members feel safe and accepted to be who they are. Stage 2: Learner Safety, where team members feel safe to ask questions, learn, experiment, and make mistakes. Stage 3: Contributor Safety, where team members feel safe to contribute using their skills and gifts. Stage 4: Challenger Safety, where team members feel safe enough to challenge the status quo and suggest changes or improvements. How to foster psychological safety in your workplace Leaders must prioritise psychological safety in the workplace to create high-performing teams. However, creating a psychologically safe work environment requires coaching and behaviour change at both the individual and organisational levels. Leaders must consistently model inclusive behaviours to build new team norms over time. Failure to establish and support psychologically safe team environments can cause negative consequences and damage to the business.

Client loyalty doesn't come with just good work skills or cheap prices, in fact, you don't own a client's loyalty, you have to earn it day after day! It really starts with caring about each client’s salon experience. "Clients start to care about what you know, when they know how much you care". Here are a few ideas that will assist you in building a healthy and loyal customer data base: 1. Know your clients Not just "Hi Val, my name is Terry". Get to know everything you can - where they work, their home-life and social environment. Using the Client Profile card, capture all their personal details, i.e. correct spelling of their first name and last name, cell number and email address, gender and birthday, occupation, preferred staff member, and any other personal preferences the clients may have. Try to keep these updated each visit, particularly changes happening in their lives that might or might not affect the type of services you provide. That social connection means so much to clients. 2. Stay in touch. Without bombarding your clients with spam-like advertising, try to send messages to them on a regular basis so that you are never far from their minds. Especially make connection on their birthday, or when you have new products or salon events. Finally, follow up on regular clients that have not returned to the salon for 2-3 months. Most salon software produces client reports that show date of last visit. The message you are sending these clients is that you haven't forgotten them and that you are missing them, and that they are significant in your mind. 3. Introduce a dynamic loyalty programme. This is definitely a BIG 'magic bullet'. There is no better way to build loyalty than by recognising regular clients and rewarding them periodically. This business strategy is far more effective than discounting - because you are adding value for your clients. Adding value means you care for their wellbeing. Set your salon system up to reward clients with one loyalty point for every R100 they spend. One can give 'bonus' loyalty points during promotions on specific services or when clients refer new business to you. The success of your loyalty programme is not based on how many points you give away but rather on how many points are redeemed, i.e. how often clients are able to 'pay' for their services with their loyalty points. Always work on the basis of “highest perceived value for the client but lowest cost to the business”. One example of this is hair treatments. After having spent a significant amount on their colour, clients are often reluctant to pay extra for the treatment. However, if they receive a complimentary treatment paid with their loyalty points, the perceived value to the client is R350-R400, however, the actual cost to the salon is probably only +/- R50. PLUS the clients will notice the difference in the last-ability of their colour and understand exactly why you recommend the treatment and will probably have one again. Not only is value added for them but your expertise is confirmed in their mind. 4. Convenience and accessibility There is a lot to be said about convenience, accessibility and customer loyalty. Examples that might not be obvious: Salons that are difficult to access such as being on the 2nd or 3rd floor with only stairs as access. Relocating the salon. If you move too far away, you will find a drop in regular business based on how much further they have to travel. A salon that doesn't answer their phones, either because they don't have enough incoming lines or because people are slow to answer the phone. You must be easily contacted. This lack of accessibility will force loyal clients to find another salon. What about Booking Apps? What is becoming more and more popular is clients being able to go onto your 'app' in order to request/book an appointment. Unfortunately, most of these are just appointment bookings 'apps' with no direct integration into your salon CRM (client relationship management) system. There are a few business systems that do have the on-line bookings function which integrates the appointment procedure into stock management, staff commissions, target setting as well as the financial reporting - all the things that make CRM business systems so successful. When considering business systems try to find one that provides cloud based, on-line bookings, point of sale and CRM, all in one. It will make both your business easier and more efficient, and your clients feel more meaningful in their relationship with you. - Terry Miles, MD of My Salon Software Email: info@mysalonsoftware.co.za Web: mysalonsoftware.co.za

Forget what you know about hair straightening. The new Qiqi range has been developed for those who defy the limits, envision trends and want permanent results without the impact of harsh chemicals. In-Salon Treatment Now in South Africa This revolutionary in-salon treatment is now available in South Africa brought to you by Cape Town’s beloved scar salon and is now also available to you, nationwide via scarPro Distribution. The Qiqi Vega Straightening Treatment is by far the most advanced straightening solution and first of its kind that straightens all kinds of hair from all types of curls, with special attention to delicate and damaged. There are three different Qiqi Vega permanent straightening treatments that cover all hair types: • For coarser hair types, Thick & Coarse is specially for curly girls who love their curls and want to rock the best version of them, every day. Qiqi gives wavy, curly or tighter coils their best life. • For moderate texture, Wavy & Curly is great for clients who want to regain control of their hair without making it overly straight. Retain body and volume, increase shine and manageability while eliminating frizz and moderate curl reduction. • For delicate hair, Thin & Delicate is designed for clients who want seriously straight hair permanently until the roots grow with the hair’s natural texture. Qiqi Vega is a unique clean ingredient system based on organic Vegan components that could even be left on the hair for up to four hours without any damage or breakage. Qiqi Vega changes the hair’s structure by reacting with the disulphide bonds and then the ironing process, which is part of the salon treatment, permanently transforms the hair into straight, smooth and shiny tresses. The hair structure is then permanently straightened until new roots grow out which usually sees results lasting up to three or four months. Qiqi Vega provides permanent results, rich in conditioning that leaves the hair soft with eye-opening radiant results, it’s the ultimate straightening treatment, unlike other straightening treatments as it actually changes and softens the hair bonds without coating the hair. "Qiqi is a multipurpose texture transformation system. It permanently straightens, smooths, and/or enhances curls. With its main ingredient of Glyoxylic Acid, it is a non-alkaline formulation. Unlike other Keratin or formaldehyde-based products, Qiqi penetrates the cortex and reshapes the structure of the hair thereby creating straight, soft, manageable stronger hair (in even better condition!) permanently until new hair grows. You can swim in the sea, do hot yoga and no need for sulphate-free shampoos as Qiqi doesn't start to wash out after two weeks like other straightening systems. Hair can even be coloured on the same day as the treatment. This truly is a game-changer for clients' hair." – Andrew Guilfoyle, Running with Scissors QIQI is: • 100% formaldehyde free • Highest quality ingredients • Safe acidic formulation • Vegan friendly • No smoke or chemical fumes • Rejuvenates and revitalizes Permanent Lasting Results Order Qiqi Vega now from @scarpro____ and join these Qiqi salons : • scar in Cape Town • Orbb Design in Norwood • Salute Salon in Blairgowrie • Hepburns Style in Meadowridge • Ansone Van Zyl Artistry in Hartenbos • Flash-lox in Roodeport • Shag High Voltage in Port Elizabeth • Swept in Sandton • Langebaan Hair Academy in Langebaan • Warren Schultz Hair Design in Gqeberha • Hair Ink in Brackenfell • Blu Gel in Pietermaritzburg • Aileen Share in Bloemfontein Jesé, Beauty Editor of Glamour says Qiqi is an absolute game-changer!

“We were inspired by Yin and Yang, bringing opposite energies into a harmony and creating balance. This gave us a direction of bold colour placement harmonising with cut and styling for the idea of our collection. Imagining a busy life passing by, this is a snapshot of a moment in time appreciating the beauty of balance. Opposite energies create balance; in the black there is white. In the wrong, there is right. In the dark there is light.
