"Iconic" follows the current trend of discoloration by areas. But it proposes a very respectful discoloration for the hair and a delimitation by large and gentle layers. This is achieved by accompanying the half & half technique with variations of tones in the different areas. The challenge, technically speaking, has been to achieve a discoloration that would keep intact the touch and the internal quality of the hair. This requires a careful technique and knowledge of the product and protectors, as well as time. Six decades making hairdressing an art “Iconic”’s gentle contrasts arrive after the summer collection “Shine”, released in July, and the 20 collections that Carol Bruguera has launched since 2008, whether they are avant-garde or more wearable. As one of the leading hairdressing chains, Carol Bruguera has shown its originality and artistic skills on numerous occasions. The brand has taken hairdressing to the limit with its hair shows and hairstyle collections, as well as innovating in digital media and winning relevant prizes, like the HairBrained Video Awards and the AIPP Award. The last ones are considered the "Oscars" of hairdressing.

Shanti shares her passion and dedication to a brand that upholds the ethos of her eco-salon. My name is Shanti, I am a stylist and salon owner and together with my partner Sonet, we started Mop nine years ago. Mop Hair is an eco-salon in the heart of Cape Town that offers a wide range of hair and beauty services whilst being mindful of the impact the industry has on the environment and how we, as salon owners, can make a difference and inspire other salons to do the same. We choose to align ourselves with hair and beauty brands that uphold a similar ethos, by making sure that the products we stock use recycled or biodegradable plastic, have reduced chemical waste, do not contain harmful ingredients, or do not test on animals. We are passionate about educating and empowering young creatives, many of whom may otherwise have had limited career options, to find a sense of passion, fulfilment and success through doing hair. We are Mop. We love people and we love good hair. Why did you choose to become a hairdresser? I became a hairdresser somewhat by chance. I knew that university wasn't really an option for me for financial reasons so at the age of eighteen, fresh out of school I decided I needed to find something that allowed me to learn and earn simultaneously and something preferably creative. Hairdressing seemed like it ticked most of the boxes and so I started my apprenticeship with five-time South African hairstylist of the year Tony Martin. I put my head down and worked hard, exploring various facets the industry had to offer and on my 30th birthday I took the plunge and we opened Mop. It has been an incredible journey filled with opportunities, challenges, and plenty of perseverance. But most of all it has been a journey about the love I have for hair and where this journey has brought me. What did you find the biggest challenges in your salon? The biggest challenge initially was finding the right team. We were a brand-new salon and still finding our feet. I knew the type of stylists I wanted to work for us but perhaps I lacked confidence in my ability to manage other people’s careers. All I really knew at that point was how -to do- good hair. This, however, ultimately led me to take a chance on young apprentices, investing my time and knowledge training them from scratch, which has subsequently turned out to be one of the most rewarding things to come from owning a salon. Some of these girls still work for me today, others have gone on to work abroad or open successful salons of their own. What is your formula for success? Our formula for success is something that has been gradually cultivated over time. There are a couple of key elements that we focused on from the beginning that continue to be the corner stones of our business and our success as a salon. Focusing on exceptional client service from the first point of client contact which is when a client calls to book an appointment, until the client leaves the building, has been something that we really spend time and energy on. Also, consistency in all areas of the client’s experience. Creating a strong salon culture with a zero tolerance for gossip, negativity, mediocrity, or exclusion. This sets the tone for the space into which your clients enter. Investing in creating a beautiful space in which to welcome our clients. Education, education, and more education. We never stop learning, growing, or taking time to invest in our skill as stylists. We have made international online training a priority that is accessible to our stylists in the salon in an allocated training room. We learn from each other, and we also invite other talented stylists from the city to come and share their knowledge with us. And finally, good old-fashioned perseverance. Running a business is tough at times and sometimes you gotta just ride the waves, dust yourself off and learn from your mistakes. Always ask yourself how you could have done better. If you started a new salon today, what would you do differently? A year ago, we moved our salon to a new location, and we had the opportunity to rethink practical things like our layouts and adjust things that weren't working so well in our previous space which was a great exercise. It forced us to really look at our business with fresh eyes which I think is important. I feel like the mistakes and hardships along the way helped shaped us into where we are today. They helped us build resilience and highlight the directions we needed to move in, so I wouldn't go back and change too much. The only thing I think I would do differently is stress less. Stress and anxiety really take the joy out of the process and start to affect your health if you don't manage it properly. It really took its toll on me initially, but I have learnt to manage it so much better, and my life and health are so much more balanced for it. What are your salon goals for the next 5 years? Our goals for the next five years are really to keep fine tuning our offering and our clients’ experience, that is our first priority. We are in the process of launching Mop Beauty which feels like a natural progression. Other than that, I guess we want to show the world that despite the hardships and obstacles that we face in South Africa on a daily basis, we can unite and create something that can compete on a global scale. Something that not only competes on a skills level but that plays a role in the upliftment of young people; something that has real heart. What would you say is your biggest achievement? I would say that our biggest achievement is knowing the role we have played in changing individuals life situations through education and mentoring. To see young girls go from assistants washing hair to fully booked senior stylists and sometimes even successful salon owners. Material things come and go but that stays with you forever. That feels like a real achievement. Why did you decide to stock Kevin Murphy in your store? We are predominantly a Kevin Murphy salon. We are extremely selective about the brands that we bring into our space and Kevin Murphy felt like the best fit for us. We love how passionate they are about reducing their carbon footprint on so many levels, their commitment to chemical alternatives in their colour and their retail products as well as their activism against testing and cruelty on animals. We also really appreciate the aesthetic of everything they do from their packaging to their campaigns. They are an inspiring brand to be a part of.

The protection provided by our employment law legislation extends to ‘employees’. There are exceptions to this as will be discussed below. A distinction is drawn between employees and so-called independent contractors (known in our industry as legal owners/rent-a-chairs). In general terms the independent contractor is paid to render a particular result; is not subject to the control or direction of the client; may get someone else to do some of the work and is not part of the client’s organisation. In essence, the independent contractor is doing the work as part of his or her own business. The contract of employment is usually the starting point in the employment relationship. However, judgments indicate that the focus in determining whether a person is an employee or not, is more on the nature of the relationship rather than the wording of a contract. The written contract is one of the factors to consider and has more significance for those who earn above the threshold as set out in section 6 of the Basic Conditions of Employment Act (BCEA) 75 of 1997 (2021 threshold – R211 596.30 per annum). Job applicants who believe they have been subjected to unfair discrimination by their prospective employers, have the same rights as employees under the prohibition of unfair discrimination provisions of the Employment Equity Act 55 of 1998. The National Minimum, Wage Act, 2018, defines a “worker” to be “Any person who works for another and who receives, or is entitled to receive, any payment for that work whether in money or in kind” (excludes a volunteer). These workers (and employees who earn below the BCEA threshold) are entitled to be paid a wage that is no less than the national minimum wage and to a daily wage payment whereby if they work for less than four hours a day on any day, they must be paid for four hours work on that day. Not all employees are the same. For example, an employment relationship may be on a casual, temporary or permanent basis. These terms mean nothing when it comes to determining whether a person is an employee for the purposes of labour legislation, but rather illustrate that employment comes in many different forms. A fixed-term contract employee is someone who is employed for a fixed time period or for a specific task only – once that task is completed, the employment relationship ends. Such contracts must be in writing and are subject to certain conditions as per section 198B of the Labour Relations Act (LRA) 66 of 1995. A part-time employee is an employee who is remunerated wholly or partly by reference to the time that the employee works and who works fewer hours than a comparable full-time employee. It is important to observe the definition of a part-time employee as prescribed and contained in the Main Collective Agreement of the National Bargaining Council for Hairdressing, Cosmetology, Skincare, and Beauty Industry. A full-time permanent employee is someone who is employed with the intention of there being an ongoing employment relationship, or in other words, for an indefinite period. This permanent, ongoing relationship may be full-time or part-time. Some fulltime employees do not work the same amount of hours as their colleagues (e.g. halfday contracts) and are remunerated wholly or partly by reference to the hours that they work. Section 200A of the LRA (and section 83A of the BCEA) includes a rebuttable presumption relating to the existence of an employment relationship for employees earning below the BCEA threshold. The LRA, as amended, states until the contrary is proved, for the purposes of this Act, any employment law and section 98A of the Insolvency Act, 1936 (Act No. 24 of 1936), a person who works for, or renders services to, any other person is presumed, regardless of the form of the contract, to be an employee, if any one or more of the following factors are present: The manner in which the person works is subject to the control or direction of another person; The person’s hours of work are subject to the control or direction of anotherperson; In the case of a person who works for an organisation, the person forms part of that organisation; The person has worked for that other person for an average of at least 40 hours per month over the last three months; The person is economically dependent on the other person for whom he or she renders services; The person is provided with tools of trade or work equipment by the other person; or The person only works for or renders services to one person. It is important to remember that the presence of the above-mentioned criteria means that employment is presumed, unless the contrary is proved. The obligation to prove that the relationship was not one of employment then falls on the employer. Persons earning above the threshold will need to prove that there is an employment relationship. Regardless of who has to prove whether there is or is not an employment relationship, it will be done with reference to the criteria set out in the presumption or any other relevant factors. The courts have recently indicated that the most important factors are: Whether the person forms part of the organisation where he or she renders services: that would be indicated by things such as whether the person has an office or uses the organisation’s resources or is a member of the pension or provident fund or wears the organisation’s uniform, etc. Whether the person is economically dependent on the other person that would be indicated by the extent to which the person does work for other people or is allowed to do work for other people, etc. Whether the person is subject to the direction and control of the other person: that would be indicated by the other person having the right (whether they actually do so or not) to dictate to the person how, when, where and for how long to work.

Each look of the collection is a work of art. It is a creative delusion that makes the most of hair and its expressive possibilities. Hair emerges as the protagonist of images, and in these, it dialogues with other elements such as masks, clothes, volumes, colors, and textures. The result is artistic images of surprising beauty.
