Z-YBER, by Alfredo Valero, draws on various sources of inspiration. As a starting point, Valero's proposal connects with the style and fashion of the Zinellials generation, considered digital natives, consummate irreverents, committed with the climate change and dependent on the internet, who have rescued manga and anime from ostracism. Japanese manga, in general, does not show great aesthetic divisions in terms of gender identity, presenting a cast of characters with a diversity of cuts and colours without distinction. Something similar happens with fashion, following Harajuku, Tokyo's most popular shopping district, a meeting point for young people from different urban tribes, who meet every Sunday and exhibit unique and avant-garde fashion styles not suitable for everyone. And if we talk about neighborhoods, we cannot leave aside the quintessential London market, Camden, and in particular the Cyberdog store, a world leader in cyberpunk fashion. In the inspirational cocktail shaker in which Z-YBER is born, a tribute to the first British punks of the 60's is integrated, bathed in fashion, colour and divergence from Japanese culture, an ode to the Zinellials, fans of manga and anime.

1. Recognition: Employees look for genuine and positive feedback for a job well done. Celebrate the accomplishments of team members that increase employee workplace happiness. Employees who feel appreciated and valued are likely to be more efficient, productive, and stay at their company longer. 2. Leadership Opportunities: If you want your staff to be engaged in your business, create a culture which provides opportunities for the team to learn, grow, and lead. Employees feel valued when employers invest time and effort to bring out the best in them. Employees appreciate a career more than a job, so identifying the potential of an employee coupled with growth opportunities will keep the staff actively engaged in your business. Empowering employees is not about telling them to implement changes and then micro-managing every move. Instead, inspire the team to be responsible and give them true autonomy. 3. Know your employees/workers: When you make your staff feel special, it goes a long way to add value to your business. Spend a few minutes getting to know how your team feels at work, their health, and encourage them to share their stories. It sends a message that their overall wellness is valued and fosters strong and healthy relationships. 4. Open communication: Effective communication promotes a positive work environment where there are less chances of misunderstanding and encourages transparency and accountability. An open, honest communication and consistent feedback provide employees the direction they need to provide clients with the best service. When you include your staff in critical decisions, employees know that their opinions matter and align them with the company’s goals. Ask input from employees often as they are in the know of what is popular and exciting specific to the industry as they follow influencers which share what is perceived as new trends. 5. Flexibility: Employees value work flexibility more than any of the perks associated with a job, apart from pay and benefits. Inflexible work hours leave employees stressed, exhausted, sick, and a lot less happy at work. An openness to flexibility improves employee engagement and boosts performance and productivity when they know they have better control over their lives. 6. Rewards: Rewards show how you appreciate your team. It not only identifies the diligence of the employees but also encourages them to work harder towards your business goals. It is so important to reward employees to show them that you value them and also care about their overall wellbeing and happiness. Workplace wellness is not just about a list of staff programs but nurturing the best qualities in people through positive reinforcement, which will in turn boost your company’s bottom line.

To get the results you need to put in the effort. Don't just waste time thinking about it.

Explore the world while working Onboard a Cruiseship – We interview Mervin Arthur Naidoo on his cruise ship experiences – Part 1! Mervin Arthur Naidoo is from Pietermaritzburg, KZN and at 47 years old, has been a qualified hairstylist for 28 years, working in South Africa. He is currently working onboard the magnificent cruise ship Majestic Princess, on a shipboard spa contract. He has taken time to share his exciting experiences and photos with us about the onboard life! I’ve had so much fun and experience in the South African hair industry, with so many hair competitions and hair seminars, numerous product launches for top brands like Goldwell , Paul Mitchell, and TiGi, and radio appearances promoting hair care and the hair business. All was going great until covid happened, with the beauty industry taking a huge hit. I think we all struggled so much during that time! Just in time for me, the cruise ships started running again. I saw it as the best opportunity for me to apply my trade and skills the way I want, and to live an adventure at the same time! I applied to the Academy and in 2 months I was ready to go onboard. The age limit is over 21 with no upper age limit. Working on a cruise ship for me is almost stress free. I don't have to go looking for clients. They come to me. Nor do I have to stress about keeping them as long-term clients. Each week we have new guests, meeting fascinating new people from all over the world and from different lifestyles. I just have to make them happy at that moment, which is great because this is what I love to do - make people happy about their hair. I have all the best products available to use and retail, to create and work with, with all the topline colours supplied. We have the latest hair treatments to use including a smoothing/ anti frizz treatment. It’s a joy to work and create and sell with high-end ranges making life so easy! We do everything in the salon: cut and styling for both ladies and men, colour and highlights, smoothing treatments, upstyles for formal night and weddings and all other occasions celebrated on board, gents grooming and shaves. I cannot get bored at work! Each day is so different from the last, with a new place to visit each day, different sights and different people to talk to. I look out my window and see the most amazing views. It’s incredible to think I'm working and travelling at the same time. A Lifestyle of Awesome Work, Adventure and Friends I get 2 half days off a week, always at a port. This way I can go out and be a tourist too. At the moment, I'm cruising in Alaska for the summer which will be 4 and a half months, so by the end I will have been able to see all it has to offer. Then we move on to Hawaii and then to Australia for their summer. All of this in a 9 month contract! I have made so many friends here already from all over the world, with 51 different nationalities working on board the Majestic Princess. The spa itself represents 6 different countries. We have hairstylists, nail technicians, massage therapist, fitness instructor, facialists, and ionithermie, along with doctors for acupuncture and medispa. We have first time contract and experienced therapists all working together. Your First Week Onboard It is a very different kind of lifestyle that one has to adapt to very quickly once onboard. The first week is hectic. You go into auto pilot, just taking in everything with the new surrounding and rules to follow, trying to learn about the spa and the ship. All the other team members’ names. Where to go eat and how to get there, how to get to your cabin without getting lost! You have to share a cabin with a complete stranger to start with, in a small area, with not too much space to store stuff, but this doesn't stop us from buying stuff! Every time we get off, we go looking for a Wal-Mart to stock up on essential items, and there is always something that catches our eyes that we must have - we come on with 1 suitcase and leave with 3! Once we are settled in, it all becomes much easier, and your new life unfolds! Sign up today for your confidential interview and a recruitment consultant will be in touch to answer any of your questions and take this forward! Sign up today and change your life!

The title of the collection, Mōsō, means illusion. This inspiration reflects the new look of the post-covid generation, that does not understand age or conceit, but shows a huge desire to live, being a daring attitude their best spear, and courage their day to day. Perhaps "mōsō" is that illusion, the desire for a freer and more irreverent world where oneself embraces the essence of humanity, where nothing else fits, without norms or politics... It is a collection that revalues the insurgent, the peaceful, and the human with common sense, like the flag that unites us. Regarding the most personal part of the creation, this work is also the representation, in the world of hairdressing, of that reality that starts from an "illusion" and that has taken shape from the hand of Víctor Alonso, in Espacio Kibo, for five years. He shows his way of seeing and interpreting hairdressing. Stylish and elegant personalized fashion. When executing it, he uses techniques that are part of the working method developed by Víctor Alonso for 30 years at his previous company, Gemis. Disconnections, programmed cuts, and multiple textures are achieved with his own techniques such as "The bite", sliding threads or slices, and a mixture of broken geometries with slight movements or different measures. As for the color, he uses pantones to personalize each color, made with the Instamatic and Color Touch Create lines from Wella. To achieve it, colors were mixed, and matte brown tones are added to incorporate a more "used" or vintage touch.
