Debbie Nebbeling is a respected and skilled professional celebrating 40 years of experience and time in the Hairdressing Industry. I started my career as an apprentice in April 1982 at my sister's salon in Cyrildene. I qualified in 1985,and decided to join Lynne Nicolas at Profile as a Senior Stylist. In 1995 I became Lynne's partner. Lynne still works for me on a part-time basis and we have worked together for 37 happy years. After a successful partnership of 10 years, I decided to branch out on my own and started Bodmin Hair in New Redruth Alberton. Thinking I would be a one-man band, the business actually grew from strength to strength, and I had to employ 10 staff members! I felt I needed to grow, and I merged with Paul Fox, becoming his partner in his very successful brand: Paul James Hairdressing. Our partnership was strong, and we opened a salon at The Mall of New Market. Paul mentored me and made me the businesswoman I am today. On the 1st March 2019, I bought Paul out, and became the Sole owner. Then Covid Struck! Honestly it has been the most challenging time in my career! But I am still here and empowering 12 women. I am a working owner and sit on the EOHCB Executive Committee board for many years. I have been overseas twice to the Matrix Destination Convention in Rome and Spain, have met and been educated by International artists - you can never stop learning! I have a passion for competition work, I have competed myself, winning and placing in numerous competitions. I’ve trained juniors and I am a qualified juror. I am currently on the competition committee for the EOHCB. My Highlights have been so many! Winning the Overall Winner Title at the EOHCB National Championships in 2006 Winning The Ace Quest Color expert in 2010. Entering and winning the 2021 EOHCB Digital Ladies Cut and Blow Wave. A proud member of the EOHCB Creative team. Platform artist with GHD at Fashion Week. Fully enjoyed co-ordinating, styling, training and mentoring at numerous hairshows, bridal expo's and photo shoots. I am a past member of the Intercoiffure, being their Foundation Qualluame leader, mentoring the up and coming young stylists. My Strongest Piece of Advice My advice to all my fellow stylists is to involve yourselves in this wonderful industry and you will love what you do. Let's bring some Life Back to our Industry! I still have passion and drive, love working with my Team! Without my Team, I would not be ME!

What a perfect result! Take a look at this incredible style done by Anrich Botha from Agora Hair in Pretoria. Click the image below to see the Instagram post. Nothing like being able to do someone's first full head of highlights. Every hairstylist loves working on 100% Virgin hair since it's usually very predictable and easy to work with. After discussing the future maintenance and home care that will be required my guest and I decided on a 'vanilla blonde' for her first official colour transformation and I think we nailed it! Process: This look was achieved by carefully applying a full head back to back baby-lighted foils using Davines Progress lightener + 20vol. After all the hair was lifted evenly to a pale yellow I rinsed and applied Davines View Semi permanent colour 9.22 + 9.32 + Gloss. Once the toner was processed we treated the hair with the Davines Renewing system to achieve maximum longevity and shine.

The benefits of milk_shake® moisture products in your retail’s space during the winter months Healthy hair is one of the most important aspects of overall beauty, and it's no secret that proper hair care is key to maintaining that health. Hair salons play a vital role in helping people maintain the health of their hair. One of the most important aspects of hair care is moisture, which is why offering milk_shake® moisture hair care products in hair salons can provide numerous benefits to both customers and salon owners alike. Help your Clients Maintain their Healthy, Lustrous Hair First and foremost, offering milk_shake® moisture hair care products in a hair salon can help customers to maintain healthy, lustrous hair. Moisture is essential for hair health, and many people struggle to keep their hair moisturised. You can help them! During the winter months, the air becomes drier and colder, which can have a detrimental effect on the health and appearance of hair. To combat this, hair salons should consider offering our moisture hair care retail products to their customers with every service. By doing so, they can help their customers maintain healthy, hydrated hair even in the harshest winter weather. All Hair Types Benefit Winter weather can cause hair to become dry, brittle, and prone to breakage. This is especially true for people with curly, coily, or textured hair, which are naturally more prone to dryness. Milk_shake® can help provide the necessary hydration to combat this dryness, leading to stronger, shinier, and more manageable hair. In addition to improving hair health, offering milk_shake® moisture hair care products can also be a valuable revenue stream for salons during the winter months. As demand for salon services may decrease during the winter, this can provide a much-needed source of income for salons. Moreover, by educating customers about the importance of proper hair care during the winter months, salons can help to establish themselves as trusted experts in the field. By keeping hair hydrated and healthy even in the driest, coldest weather, the milk_shake® moisture product ranges can help to maintain the beauty and vitality of your clients’ hair all year round.

“Rebelliousness consists of distancing ourselves from the established rules, from what is socially accepted, always for some reason, a discomfort that pushes us to look for our own space where to let our identity breathe. The 80s were characterized as an era in which freedom was celebrated, breaking obsolete patterns. For what concerns hair, new cuts were designed and some others as mullets or mohawks were redesigned to evolve. The volume was expansive, it was all about being seen and not going unnoticed. That indomitable and fun spirit is what inspires this collection.” Hair: Roberto Dallo Lafuente @robertopeluqueros Hair Assistant: María Carmona @sanchezmariacarmencarmona Photography: Jose Urrutia @pjurrutia Retouche: Javier Villalabeitia @javiervillalabeitia MUA: Roberto Peluqueros @robertopeluqueros Styling: Francisco Javier Moral @fco_javier_moral Products: Revlon Professional y American Crew @revlonprofessional_es y @americancrew_spain
