WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH... No-one can deny that times are tough! And one cannot be blamed for thinking, is it all worth it? Which is exactly why I am writing this blog. BECAUSE IT IS. Remember These 4 Things: 1 Everybody is in the same boat and they are desperately looking for something to feel good about. 2 Alcohol works but is not a 24 hour fix. Being well-groomed is. This is why hairdressing falls into the Wellness Industry. 3 A visit to the salon is the quickest and cheapest way for clients to feel good about themselves. 4 Feeling good about yourself is the most important element of success. So what are YOU really selling? Haircuts and Wellness! Retain a positive mental attitude and let gratitude determine your attitude. Don't let your own mind and the opinions of the people around you convince you that the fight is not worth fighting! Plan to succeed. Success does not come before action and action doesn't come before thought. Whether you think you can succeed or think you can't, you're probably right. Don't lose sight of the end game. If you are not working towards a vision you have of your business, get one. Happy staff, happy clients, successful business. Be pro-active. If business is quiet, make a noise. Clients go where they are invited. Look for every opportunity to invite them into your salon, SMS them, run promotions, pre-book their next appointment before they leave the salon - they all work. Look out for our future Business Blogs in Hair News. We plan to bring you a Tool-Box of ideas to put the 'fire into your fight'. -Terry Miles, MD of My Salon Software Email: info@mysalonsoftware.co.za Web: mysalonsoftware.co.za

Grunge, tartan and a touch of punk, my collection pays tribute to the late fashion icon Vivian Westwood. Strong shapes and textures to create striking looks with soft edges. Key objectives and inspiration Grunge, tartan, artful dishevelment, and a touch of punk – my collection Disruptive pays homage to the unforgettable aesthetic of fashion icon, the late Dame Vivienne Westwood. Ever the enemy of conformity, Westwood’s provocative designs were ground-breaking. I have taken inspiration from her dramatic looks to craft a collection of strong, colourful shapes and designs that pop. The hair is a soft and feminine take on Westwood’s punk. Strong shapes and styles blend with a range of textures to create striking looks with soft edges. The looks evoke Westwood’s eclectic, baroque styling, at once intricate and undone. I experimented with colour techniques including balayage, root fades, colour blocking, and non-conventional techniques such as stripes. I kept the feminine theme and applied different styling techniques – a box shape resembling a flat top from the 90s, weaving for texture, curls with different textures seeping through, a soft mullet in shades of pink, and straight shapes with an edge of colour. Fringes are kept cool and edgy with no partings. Styling My collection draws on Westwood’s grungy romanticism of the 1990s. Vivienne Westwood was my inspiration during this era; her copper hair and my Irish heritage felt like they collided. Orange is my favourite colour and a wavelength associated with optimism, energy and positivity. It is attention-grabbing and warm, and it pops against cool blues in the collection. Velvet, mesh, and leather were selected to reference 1990s fashion. The makeup is smudged, slept in and inky. It blends rich coffee tones with spidery mascara, set against nude skin and brows. Brown lips and fine brows situate the look firmly within a 1990s nostalgia, while keeping a contemporary feel and not interpreting the styling of the era too literally. The collection draws strongly on Westwood’s concepts as a designer, grounded in her legacy of class, feminism, defiance, and self-expression, brought together in a mixture of ideas and techniques.

HAVE A LOOK AT THE FABULOUS LOOKS CREATED BY OUR 2022 CREATIVE WINNERS! Best Balayage Technique 2022 Winner: Jadie Herbst - Jadie Professionals Jadie used a fabulous combination of her favourite products with her model client Christie, and a careful and strategic use of her airtouch foils with babylights, teasylights and shadow roots. Technique: Step 1 - From the occipital bone upwards I did full head Airtouch foils, leaving out all the hair under the occipital bone. I left out thick sections in between each airtouched foil for extra negative space/dimension. Closer to the crown area I did a few teasylight slices. • from occipital bone towards crown area all foils were placed horizontally • from ear to top of the head foils were placed diagonally forward • half a cm on either side of her middle part were left out for later to paint • money piece was foiled in a triangular section alternating slices and babylights. • her entire hairline in the front was also babylights for a uniformed look when hair is pulled back or up. - Formula Products - Blondor Multi Blonde Powder + Welloxon Perfect Step 2 - After my Airtouch foils were done processing I rinsed and freehand painted with Freelights for maximum brightness towards the ends of her hair. - Formula Products - Freelights Powder + Freelights Developer Step 3 - Shadow Root. The Airtouch allowed for a really good blend, and I wanted to preserve as much of my model’s natural hair as possible for low maintenance, so I only tapped out the roots where necessary. - Formula Products - 5/97 Colour Touch + Colour Touch Developer Step 4 - I applied my toner while the shadow root was on and blended them together. - Formula Products - 10/93 + 10/96 + 10/36 Illumina + Welloxon Perfect • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Best Gent’s Creative Cut 2022 Winner: Erin Friend - Collab Hair Erin had a wonderful time creating the most spectacular look for model client Jay! Technique: On this awesome haircut I used my wonderful client Jay. To create this look I first went in all over with my Wahl Bellina clipper and number 2 guard. We then did the colour with Schwarzkopf professional products. Once the colour was completed, I then went in with my Wahl detailer clipper creating a whirlwind of patterns all over his head. It was super fun to create! • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Best Damage Fix-up Before and After 2022 Winner: Jade Kruger - Fabiano Hair Jade’s client model Claire came to her devastated at the look of her hair – let’s see how Jade saved the day! Technique: My client Claire came in with her hair feeling brittle and dull. I had just started using L'Oréal Metal Detox and explained to her how the protocol will change her hair's integrity and give her the shine and feel that she has lost. • Applied Metal Detox spray • I started off with full head foils with Blondstudio 8 + 20vol and wellaplex • once finished the foils I used 9.12 L'Oréal Dialight + 9vol in between the foils • Processed • Rinsed and applied N2 wellaplex • Rinsed and toned with L'Oréal Dialight + 6vol for 10 min from applying Shampoo Metal Detox and then applied Metal Detox Care liquid followed by Metal Detox mask • Before drying, I applied L'Oreal Absolute Repair 10-1 spray • Used Curl Ever After spray • Finishing product L'Oréal Mythic Oil • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Best Makeover Before and After 2022 Winner: Alexia Chrysafis - Fox and Davidson Hair Design Alexia’s model client gave her full carte blanche for this makeover, but only limited her to keep the “grow out” low maintenance. Technique: I used Schwarzkopf new inspired Pantone colours,in a “colour-blocking” technique. The lighter sections were pre-lightened first to add vibrancy. A total of 5 colours were used to achieve this end result. I then cut and styled her hair using inspired trending styles like the “shag” and “curtain bangs”. This makeover took a full day to complete. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • And for 2022, our judges were so impressed with her work that a specialty award went to Irene da Fonseca! Best Damage Fix-Up Category for Curly Hair 2022 Winner: Irene da Fonseca from The Zhoosh Cut Irene’s model client Shaskia had dry hair that was damaged from colour and mechanical processes. Shaskia is a model, so her hair takes regular abuse for shoots and is often heat styled and the stylists use products that glue her hair down for their specific creative briefs. Product build-up was weighing down her naturally curly hair and split ends left the shape flat and frizzy. Technique: • I first began with a curl cut and reshape to remove dead sections and split ends and added some curly lights for depth using Schwarzkopf clay lightener. The hair was toned with Schwarzkopf Vibrance 6-12 Dark Blonde Cendre Ash, followed by Loreal Metal Detox to remove any build-up of colour, product and natural metals from products and the water. • Thereafter, I used a curly hair shampoo and conditioner from Rezo Haircare and a Keune moisture and nutrition elixir to restore the hair's natural moisture and add shine, locking in the moisture that she pushed back into the hair at the basin, using the curl squishing technique. • Squish to Condish is a technique for adding extra moisture to curly hair by pushing more water into the cuticles of the hair. The principle behind this technique is simple: water and conditioner are the best things for getting moisture into your curls. The right combination of these two ingredients will make sure you don't over-moisturize your hair but still allow it to retain enough moisture to look and feel hydrated – without becoming weighed down, greasy, or suffocated by product. Entries and nominations will close on the 31st of May and the voting and judging will begin the 3rd of June.

So, yeah, dreams do come true!” Reigning NTVA Colour Artist Gold Winner and Senior Wella Ambassador Charles Junior was thrilled at the opportunity to work backstage alongside rockstar hair icon James Earnshaw. “It was an absolute blast!
