Is loadshedding getting you down? Is Eskom making it impossible for you to service your clients? Do you want to take back control over the time that you can work? With Megix 10-minute colour you can beat loadshedding. Clients can be in and out of the salon in as little as 30 minutes, allowing you to fit in more clients in a shorter space of time and thus reducing downtime because of loadshedding. With this range you save up to 70% on time per service compared to traditional colour: Furthermore, because of the significant reduction in processing time, clients are less exposed to chemicals, thus reducing the risk of developing scalp sensitivities or allergies. Megix|10 will also help you make more money, because you can fit more clients into a day. Also, with the use of Megix|MorpH, turn any Megix|10 nuance into an acidic demi-toner. No need to stock any additional colour lines! Why should you use Megix 10-minute colour in your salon? • Achieve 100% grey coverage with the new true neutrals in just 10 minutes! • The 10-minute colour is not progressive, meaning that the result will not become darker if left for longer than 10 minutes. • Megix10 offers 86 astonishing shades plus 6 high-lifters, giving you a total of 92 colours to choose from. • Clients are less exposed to chemicals preventing irritated and sensitive scalps due to an overexposure to chemicals. • Megix10 contains Keraveg-18 amino-acids to maintain the hair’s integrity and to ensure longevity of the colour. • Megix10 is dual functional and can be used as a permanent-, semi-, alkaline demi- or acidic demi-colour. • Megix10 uses micro pigment technology (“MPT”). Because the pigments are so small, the cuticle does not have to be opened that much, resulting in less damage to the hair bonds. • The combination of lower alkalinity and lower pH ensures that the integrity of bonds is maintained.

The notice that was sent to members on 23 June 2022 can be accessed through this link: HAIRDRESSING AND COSMETOLOGY (hcsbc.co.za) In response to concerns by members that the current scheme hampers or even prevents participation by members who do not live within the vicinity of the retained GPs’ medical practices. Members also indicated that they would prefer an option to consult a Medical Practitioner of their choice. The Council’s Sick Funds Management Committee considered this feedback, and it was decided that an approach should be adopted that was more inclusive. With effect from 1 July , 2022, members will have the flexibility of consulting a GP of their choice and will be allocated an annual amount (R1100) that may be claimed in respect of a maximum of four GP consultations/visits per annum ie., R275.00 per visit/consultation.

However, it would be in a private capacity and not as required or provided for in the current Rules. For complete information, please click HERE for the full notice.

Hairkrone's 'LIFE' collection is inspired by the futuristic tech trend, the digital world and the artificial intelligence, and how this virtual universe coexists with the physical, real world. This ambivalence is reflected in a very expressive use of color: on the one hand, through magnetic pastel tones that enhance transgressive cuts in short hair styles; on the other hand, with the creative application of striking geometric patterns that transform the most classic long manes. With this overwhelming collection, Hairkrone has been chosen as a finalist at the TCT International Awards, in addition to obtaining a nomination for Spanish Hairdresser of the Year 2021 for Alfonso Martínez, founder and general manager of Hairkrone.

WHAT GENTS WANT A large percentage of salons have a good gents clientele, and we have such a booming barber industry in SA focused entirely on that market. It’s a huge, growing market and gents can tend to be more loyal to their barbers and stylists, so how can you take advantage of that market niche? According to the latest market forecasts in GrandView Research Trend Report 2020-2027 and Allied Market Research, men’s haircare and skincare regimes are increasing as a market share for the main beauty and hair industries globally. Further forecasts suggest a substantial increase in global industry revenue 2022 through to 2030. Men’s hair and skincare products are used by men of all ages around the world, residentially as well as commercially, with the booming trend in styling and grooming leading to ever increasing adoption of product ranges among your gent clientele. As social media usage and attention rises, the hair care and styling product market is going to increase even more as men become more and more educated and aware of the innovations in modern hair and skin care. The media and entertainment sectors are prime examples of not only brand ambassadors and influencers but of the entertainment and sports icons promoting a well-groomed, healthy, appearance and persona. Who could forget David Beckham at Prince Harry’s wedding to Meghan Markle? Innovations and scientific advances in skin and hair care formulations have produced a greater awareness not only in healthy, hypoallergenic alternatives but in eco-and planet-friendly product lines. Many of the brands have shifted towards introducing ranges that their clients are seeking for those healthy alternatives. How can you make the most of these trends in your salon or barbershop? How can you help your gents create the image they want? In this edition of Hairnews’ Special Gents Mailer, we talk about hair and barbering styling services and equipment, must-have hair and body products, salon retail products, exclusive men’s ranges, and the latest trends in in-salon services and retail aftercare needs, to help you supply such a huge loyal market!

Jane Alves of SEB MAN, Modern Hair & Beauty The dynamics and needs of the men’s grooming market has changed a lot over the last decade and we have also seen changes since the pandemic in terms of what men are looking for in their services and grooming regimes. The 21st century men have become more aware and self-conscious of their appearance and with this mindset shift, they are more willing to become more experimental with their styles and grooming routines. These days more than ever, men are visiting barbers and salons more frequently and investing in their grooming, skin and hair care treatments and colour services especially with the influence of social media, global connectivity and celebrities. With these changes, brands and salons are now catering more towards this market and offering greater selections and treatments specifically targeted to their male clientele so they can look and feel like the best version of themselves. Grooming products have become a lot more advanced as we know men these days are interested in looking after their skin, hair and beards. And now with the emergence of more ranges specifically targeted for men and their needs, men have choice and quality to choose from to create the style they want. Texturisers, pomades, matte & shine products alongside advanced barbering tools are particularly on the rise allowing men to experiment with their style and create on trends looks with ease. A major trend that we have seen emerge in the last few years is the beard!! The craze kicked off properly about a decade ago and has grown considerably strong since then. It was predicted that the facial hair trend would fade quickly but it's still very on-trend and I don't think it's going away anytime soon. The beard has become almost like a status symbol and now that we have learnt to accentuate men's facial features through beard shaping, it's really become a fashion forward trend. The male market has also become more open and confident about hair loss and thinning hair and looking for high quality products to assist with thinning hair and create styles to help their hair look and feel fuller. Another major emerging trend is men are now embracing their grey i.e.: The Silver Fox. Men are not fighting it anymore and wanting to cover it up as much as they did in the past but rather enhance it and looking for services and products in their salons to help the hair look clean, healthy and pristine. SEB MAN from Sebastian Professional have made their mark globally to offer our male clients the quality and compact, versatile range to create any style. SEB MAN desired to create a range of hair care, styling and grooming products, for men who refuse to be categorized. Enabling men to express all versions of themselves, in the most hassle-free way. The range contains high performance high-quality ingredients such as bergamot, pink pepper and guarana extract to give a stimulating and fresh vibrant smell, it’s your power shot on the go for all your needs. That’s what gents want!!! SEB Man - Modern Hair & Beauty SEB MANHairstylist: @warrenschultzhairdesign Photographer: @SJvanzyl MUA: @clanelleburger MUA Assistant: chameleonqueen_sa @fanjammanagement SEB MAN answers the call from effortlessly cool men on-the-go who refuse to be defined by narrow and limiting definitions of themselves; and encourages men to not only go beyond mere stereotypes, but to also embrace the exciting, new wave of masculinity. Offering a line of hassle-free care, styling, and grooming products made for the man of today. SEB MAN products inspire men to discover who they are and, more importantly, who they could still become. Enabling men to express all versions of themselves, in the most hassle-free way.

Many have found themselves liking long hair and massive beards, others had home haircuts that didn't go as planned. Nevertheless people are after something new. Those who went too short are liking cuts like the French crop or a military crew cut. Others fancy themselves the new "Ragnar Lothbrok" or "Baba Voss". Either way we're looking at multiple styles and looks going forward. We can't just settle on one era of styles for the coming months. So we can expect long hair messy man-buns with semi manicured beards (for those who can grow them) and those super alpha male type military cuts with a light stubble. Occasionally we will see those with super classics like the long trim pompadour, executive contours and other classics like those you see on "Peaky Blinders". Looking back over the last few years, it looks as if we've had someone press the "pause" button on styling for the last 3 years but that didn't stop creative juices from flowing. REUZEL plays a massive part in my creations at Sweeney's Barbershop for all these looks. From their Surf Tonic and Grooming Tonic for the long locks, to the Concrete clay for the textured French crop, they really have a great variety of products for every look. Personally I always take the bait when a client requests a classic from the 1910's to 20's... Reuzel - Modern Hair & Beauty Reuzel Barber: @sweeneythebarber Photographer: @SJvanzyl MUA: @clanelleburger MUA Assistant: chameleonqueen_sa @fanjammanagement Reuzel was founded by Leen Bergmann & Bertus Jan Rietveld who are the founders of Schorem, an old school barbershop in the heart of Rotterdam, the Netherlands. With more than 50 years of barbering experience between them, these barbers formulated products worthy of their exacting standards. They dug deep into the history of pomades to formulate what is said to be the world’s finest. The product range includes a variety of pomades, beard products, gels and creams, shampoos and a conditioner, tonics, skin care and branded merchandise.

Once that’s sorted, lock in moisture and protect the hair cuticles with our Conditioner. This is a great retail aftercare add-on for your revenue stream!

The DEPOT® Ethos: The Beauty of Men Provide your clients with the most evolved skin care regime dedicated to the special needs of the male skin. To meet the demands of a changing men’s market, a full range must be molded to fit their needs. Specific, high quality products with a strong identity were created for demanding professionals in the male market. Hair Treatments Mens’ hair is subject to the same environmental aggressions that women’s hair is. DEPOT® hair treatments care for the hair fibre, adding softness, hydration and protection, and controlling the most rebellious of hair types. Hair Stylings Men want protection, hold, with control, definition, direction and bright or matte effects as the keywords – the elegant visual effect of the masculine look. Shave Specifics Following a specific ritual, slow and dedicate, or with the simple, efficient skilled technique of long practise, shaving is a life-long male ritual – an exclusive, intimate moment that accompanies every male from puberty. The art of shaving is a very personal world and for this reason and to satisfy every need of that world, we have created a product for each preference, from before to after shaving to small details, to give the realm of “shaving” a unique and dedicated allure. Beard and Moustache Specifics Throughout history, the BEARD has been a symbol of distinction, communication, elegance, intellectual-artistic features and elegance. No longer synonymous with “wild man”, the beard has over the centuries reappeared as a distinctive complement of a strong and relevant personality. Today, it can be worn short or long but never random, unkempt and careless. A “shabby” style must always be “shabby chic” – the beard must be taken care of regularly and the barber returns as one of man’s best friends. Body Solutions Even the most uncompromising of men gives in to the need to cleanse, hydrate of take care of their skin every day. The product must not only leave the skin soft, refreshed and supple, but must also smell good, enhancing the persona of a well-groomed man full of character. DEPOT® celebrates the tradition of men’s grooming with an advanced and comprehensive concept. The sophisticated yet simple targeted products that make up the range are modern must-haves based on traditional formulas: true classics updated for today's man. Depot takes care of the gents’ cleansing and styling hair care, providing a full range of products to cater to the masculinity and beauty of men. DEPOT® is a contemporary and advanced but simple approach to men’s grooming. In a changing men's market where many men are returning to old-fashioned barbers to get a special shave, others are turning to hair stylists for a cutting-edge look or haircut, or they’re finding the comprehensive attention they need at the new barber salons that mix the past and present: from this idea comes DEPOT®. Tradition evolves.

What do salons need? Educated Beards for their gent clientele. If anyone understands the challenges faced when trying to grow out a beard, it's EDUCATED BEARDS. The brand was launched in Canada in 2017 by the two founders, Kevin Leboeuf, a military veteran, and his partner, Alicia Phillips, a holistic nutritionist. Kevin, who after being released from the military, decided to grow his beard for the first time in his life, and quickly discovered the typical issues faced when growing a beard… The itch, dryness, and beardruff are just some of the everyday struggles that guys face, and he immediately saw a gap in the market. He leaned on the expertise of Alicia to help create a line of beard grooming products… and so EDUCATED BEARDS was born, offering organic, natural, safe, effective and premium products. With the emphasis on customer relations and support for their retailers, Educated Beards has quickly become an internally renowned brand and a leader in the conscious products industry, using 100% natural, organic ingredients which delivers. Each Ingredient is expertly selected and contains properties that directly benefit the facial skin and hair, and are fully registered with the high standards of Health Canada. What your Gent Clients need to know about Beard Care Starting Out Keep it clean – Facial hair tends to be coarser and vastly different from the hair on your head. Shampoos and body washes are formulated for specific purposes and aren’t designed to care for the combined needs of coarse beard hair and sensitive skin. Our Educated Beards beard wash is designed to keep your beard clean from impurities, whilst also maintaining healthy skin, which ultimately promotes healthy beard growth. Beard Oil The skin on the face only produces limited amounts of natural oil. Once the hair grows out, (even very short), the hair will begin to rob the skin of its natural oils. A high-quality beard oil will replenish those lost oils, leaving the skin underneath nourished and healthy. Our beard oil eliminates the dryness, itch and flakiness that can occur when growing and maintaining a beard. Our beard oil lasts all day and is very lightweight. Beard Balm Beard Balm works in a similar way to the oil, to nourish the beard and skin. What is unique is that our Beard Balm gives your beard the perfect amount of weight to assist or “train” your beard to grow downward, and give it shape and a light hold. Beard Butter Our newest addition and ever-growing in popularity is our Beard Butter. Our Beard Butter is a highly moisturizing beard conditioner made especially for the man who suffers from dry, coarse facial hair or any man who wants to have softer facial hair. Exquisitely created with soothing shea butter, argan oil and safflower oil, our beard butter will penetrate deeply into your beard hair while making it nice and soft to the touch. We recommend using the beard butter at night almost like a beard hair mask to keep your beard soft, nourished and healthy.

Formal training is an important part of any career in the hair and beauty industry, as it gives you a thorough understanding of the hair and the science behind the hair structure. This is important for making the correct recommendations to your male clients when it comes to products and colour. There are great salon groups that have expanded with the current trend and opened up barbering shops, or allocated an area of their store to accommodate barbers. These individuals will be invested in skillset training, as well as product knowledge and insight. Unfortunately, not all barber shops are aligned in such a way. There are many of whom still use products purchased from local pharmacy or supermarket, which is not ideal for the unknowing consumer. At Kao, we ensure that any barbering store, or salon with a barber, is exposed and educated to our range of products (Goldwell and KMS), especially our Goldwell Mens Reshade. This is a 5 minute grey blending service easily carried out at the washbay area and will allow your male clients the comfort of having their grey blended with no warmth whatsoever. Products such as these are favorable due to the condition of the hair after the service as well as the durability of the colour. The most masculine way to blend grey and satisfy your gents with the look they want. Popular Trends in Gents Services: Kevin Tabilo - National Sales Manager Kao South Africa Salon Division In my personal opinion, I believe that the male grooming industry is just going to continue to blow up with men looking for more “male friendly” places not only to do their beards and hair but also somewhere they can do beauty treatments and mani’s and pedi’s as well. I still see a big 90’s movement happening with longer on the top styles with mid to high fades. The perm is also here to stay and will have more and more of the younger generation of guys doing perms on top to give that messy curly look with faded sides. A lot more gents are open to colour and we have seen our Reshades and demi permanent colours being requested more and more in salon. We are also excited to announce that we are the official colour house of the Men’s Barber Group: Medellin. As far as beards are concerned, shorter, more tapered beards are still the way to go if you are rocking the facial hair. Some guys are opting for stubble or even clean shaven and you are seeing a lot more gentlemen sporting the “baby face” look. From a brand perspective we have definitely seen an increase in Men’s styling aids from KMS and Goldwell selling a lot more, and our Anti Hairloss range (Dualsenses) is still as popular as ever for maintaining healthy scalp environment. Men are also looking at other internal things like collagen, hair and skin vitamins, etc., and diets to ensure that the hair has the optimal chance for growth. In summary it’s a very exciting time to be in the male grooming market and we urge hairdressers and barbers alike to really tap into all aspects of what is out there for your male clients.
