After is the celebration of life through a collection full of fantasy, in which hair transmits a message of vitality and positivity. Colors are the main protagonists, along with details that seem impossible, such as polka dots or geometric motifs, and the reflections of light in the water. Haircuts appear with unexpected details like bangs that overlap or that peek shyly under a curtain of color. An exercise in evasion and energy charging in difficult moments that has made us realize our own strength and resilience.

On a trip to Cape Town, VIP stylist Jadie Herbst, of Jadie Professionals, didn’t bring any copper colour with her and guess what the first client request was for...? Luckily she was supported by the fabulous Wyk Hair who was able to assist with Goldwell colour! What a fabulous result, thanks to two leading stylists sharing the colour tools from two phenomenal brands! Here’s how the ‘Collaboration Copper’ was achieved. First day of seeing clients in Cape Town done 💛when my client asked for copper I was like 😬because I did not bring ANY copper colours with in my kit to Cape Town, so I ran to @wykhair and asked him to help me as I did not want to disappoint my client. So he assisted me with his colour @goldwellsouthafrica and after doing a full head of platinum card technique with @wellaprofessionals_sa BlondorPlex, we coloured with Roots: 6 Natural + 8OR + 7AK@PK Colorance Cover Plus Ends: 8 Natural + 8OR + 7AK@PK Colorancr Cover Plus Washed and Styled with Wella and @sarynakey.sa @ Cape Town, Western Cape Love this look?

SEB MAN is dedicated to the busy Millennial or Gen Z Man who prefers effortless and hassle-free grooming. Convenience, simplicity and quality are important to the always-on-the-move “slasher generation”, many of whom juggle multiple careers and passions. With its launch in South Africa in 2019, SEB MAN introduced an exclusive line-up of haircare, styling and grooming products. This month in South Africa SEB MAN delivers an extended haircare line with three new hassle-free products addressing the Millennial Man’s #1 hair concern: THINNING. When facing thinning hair, your clients often worry about their styling products making the issue worse – they limit and lock themselves into one style and end up defined by it. We believe men should never reduce their possibilities – we want them to strive for more, to be stronger, bolder and more successful. To be UN\DEFINABLE. Our three new hair thickening products will give your clients a mass of thick-looking, healthy hair. They are immediately available from Modern Hair & Beauty: · The Boss Thickening Shampoo: Refreshes and texturises for thicker-lookinghair. · The Joker 3-in-1 Hybrid Texturizing Spray: Instantly refreshes, texturises and thickens. · The Booster Thickening Leave-In Tonic: Thickens hair as if it had up to 6,000 more strands*. (*based on scalp with 100 000 hairs) SEB MAN thickening products are infused with guarana, a natural source of power, energy and stamina. Guarana’s multi-faceted fragrance finds originality in the audacious use of peppercorn. It is balanced with the freshness of bergamot and the warmth of amber. The new line-up has a woody, oriental spice fragrance – perfect for the Millennial Man.

The collection delves into the duality of human beings, in its light and dark. Brightness is represented by the colors of the light spectrum and darkness is represented by the color black. In the looks, the elements, the different color arrangements evoke how sometimes "darkness" covers everything almost completely. Also, how they can coexist and complement each other or how "light" is sometimes so powerful that it can handle everything. The result of this game of contrasts is an intense and surprising hair that captures the uniqueness of the game of lights and colors, always with a glossy finish.

Dear EOHCB Member & Industry, WHAT CAN YOU DO TO IMPROVE YOUR WELLBEING? There are lots of things we can do to look after our mental health and wellbeing every day – make a start with these 6 top tips. Reframe unhelpful thoughts: The way we think, feel and behave are linked. Sometimes we develop patterns of thoughts or behaviours that are unhelpful so recognising them, and taking steps to think about things differently, can improve your mental health and wellbeing. Be in the present: If we take time to be aware of ourselves and be in the present moment, noticing our own thoughts and feelings, and the world around us, we can gain a better perspective. Sometimes this is known as being more mindful. Get good sleep: Good-quality sleep makes a big difference to how we feel mentally and physically, so it's important to get enough. Connect with others: Spending quality time with friends or family, talking to someone about how we are feeling or finding ways to help other people can all help stop you from feeling lonely and improve your mental health and wellbeing. This can be online, by phone or seeing someone in person. Live a healthy life: Being active, enjoying the outdoors and having a healthy, balanced diet all impact how we feel. Also, binning bad habits like smoking, and cutting down on alcohol and caffeine can have a positive effect on our mood. Do something for yourself: From enjoying your favourite hobby, learning something new or simply taking time to relax, it's important to do things that make you happy. For great support and advice on all matters relating to your salon business and staff, EOHCB are standing by to help. Contact your local representative for more. www.eohcb.co.za/contact-

For some, business seems to be an uphill battle, managing and motivating staff, getting and keeping clients and keeping costs in line with turnover. While to others it appears that business is just following a simple formula such as "business goes where it’s invited, returns where it’s wanted and grows where it’s respected and pampered". If that really is the formula for growing a successful business then the magic ingredient, the thing that makes all things possible is ‘attitude’, not just attitude, the right attitude, a positive mental attitude. In fact, in so many things in life, it is attitude that determines the end result. And, because attitude is not a tangible thing, one has to generate it much the same as one creates love and respect. The best starting point is gratitude - be grateful for who you are and what you have. So many people woke up this morning, without a job, without a home and not knowing where the next meal will come from. You woke up in your bed, in your home and with a job to go to… and so much more to be grateful for. Plus, you are going to work with people who come to you because of your knowledge, experience and expertise. WOW! Plus, you have the opportunity to consult and to recommend a multitude of new and exciting things for your clients - how motivating for your clients, how motivating for you! Attitude in people is influenced a lot by the way you treat them. People who are treated with respect and dignity respond in a different way to people who are constantly criticised or brought down. A Compliment or recognition of a job well done goes a long way in building a person’s self-esteem. Feedback about current work performance has the greatest influence on attitude because nothing succeeds like success and people rely on their success to keep them motivated in order to keep growing their income. Feedback is, as they say ‘the breakfast of champions’. My Salon Software has the ideal function for staff performance feedback, it’s called ‘Key Performance Indicators’ or KPI reports. KPI reports analyse every aspect of a staff member's work performance. How many clients they attended to, how the clients sourced - regular repeats, first time referrals, walk-ins, response to advertising etc. It also records the number of times different services are performed, split between services and retail as well calculating the average client docket value (spend). Not only does this provide feedback relating to current performance but it also provides the basis for target setting. It’s all about the numbers. If you can generate more new clients via referral or promotion, if you can up-sell clients to other services or products and if you can re-book the next appointment, you are successfully growing your business. Excellence is not a skill it is an attitude. Attitude is not a skill you learn it is a choice you make.
