We’re all on our own path, with moods and emotions along the way. It’s the human condition. We even hide our true feelings to fit in. There are things we don’t want to show and even can’t show. What if hair actually reflected our mood, would people react to us differently? In this collection, I have captured moods we all, universally, experience: pink for love, peach for happiness, blue for envy, lilac for fear. In each image the mask signifies the public face; the hair represents the mood. So, what if hair could be the indicator of true self and true mood; wouldn’t we all be more sensitive to what’s going on for others – and ourselves if our hair colour gave clues to our own current feelings.

What is your retirement plan? Do you want to work actively within the business forever? Do you want to take the leap from self-employed to business-owner? What about becoming a silent investor, relaxing on a beach, and reaping the rewards of your years of service on the business that you’ve created? All of these require a succession plan. Succession planning is the process of determining which individuals, within a business, will be promoted to a leadership role, should one become vacant, or the business grows and there is a need for leadership development. Succession plans should not be cemented into existence as should be adaptable; especially an employee leaves the business or stops applying the effort they once did. There are 5 basic steps to succession planning: 1. Determine the long-term and mid-term goals for the business This part has no short cuts. You will have to determine what it is that you wish to have achieved in the long-term and mid-term. Long-term goals should be on a 5–10-year structure while mid-term goals should be focuses from 1-5 years, depending on the rate of staff turnover. Do you still want to be participating in the business? If so, at what level? What can you do over the next 5 years to limit the amount of pressure on your staff member with the highest sales? What do we want to achieve every single month in 2026? Once you have your goals determined, you can also determine the perfect team that will help the business get there. 2. Pinpoint successful candidates (or characteristics of a successful candidate) After the goals have been established and the leadership positions determined, it is vital to also determine who will be replacing those individuals, should they leave or have personal obligations that prevent them from taking on the role efficiently. Human Resources Management is all about finding the right individual in the right position, and part of EOHCB’s services is to provide assistance and guidance with regards to staff management and growth. 3. Let them know A key aspect in motivational theory is Expectancy Theory. In layman’s terms, Expectancy Theory focuses on the nature of an individual’s behaviour to change in line with expectations. If you tell someone that they’re being prepped to fill a leader position, they will change their behaviour and actions accordingly. 4. Integrate the succession plan into hiring strategies Staffing decisions should not be based solely on the immediate issues. Staffing and developing a team should be a long-term focus. Long-term focus should prioritize different factors in the interviewing and staffing process. Skills and technical ability can be improved over time, but that requires potential and aptitude. Loyalty and a healthy predisposition towards work are important long-term factors in a long-term working relationship. Once a team has been developed effectively, then filling leadership positions will be far easier. 5. Keep the long-term goal in mind. As challenges change from day to day and week to week, it might be easier to change staffing and leadership positions to make the current situation easier. In light of this, it is easy to lose track of the long-term goals and future business structures when the current moment is chaotic and unbearable. At times like these, it is important to remember the reasons that we have made the difficult decisions. Whether it is losing potential profits to maintain a new business structure, or investing in staff training or new stock management processes. Business management requires a dual-view system. We have one eye on the current tasks and another on the tasks with long-term rewards, and in order to meet long-term rewards we must have a future business structure that will fall in line. What do you want from your business and what future do you want for the business? What structure does the business have in the future? Will you be there? Staffing and succession planning requires various human resource management processes, such as interviews, contracts of employment, training agreements and even staff counselling or disciplinary action.

Training and education are the best ways to demonstrate an ‘investment in people’ philosophy in your salon. Not only do they develop the skills to satisfy a growing client base, improving the service levels in the salon virtually guarantee your client data base will keep growing and your salon will experience lower staff turnover. There are three key areas to focus training – mind skills, people skills and technical skills. Mind skills includes attitude and with the right mental attitude anything and everything is achievable. Attitude is a choice we make and making the wrong choice, as we know, leads to disappointment and unhappiness. On the other hand, making the right choices usually produces amazing results. The key to attitude is gratitude. If you start each day grateful for your blessings – you woke up this morning, you have a job, and you are surrounded by people that love, respect and admire you. Why would that not lead to greater success? People skills – your ability to communicate with your clients, to be able to tell your story and to listen to theirs in terms of their problems, needs and desires. People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. What better environment for you to market your knowledge, experience and expertise in pursuit of a satisfied client. The law of attraction works better with the right mental attitude and good people skills. Technical skills – all professionals need to hone their skills whether it is doctors, lawyers, airline pilots, stylists or beauty therapists. By not updating your skills you run the risk of becoming redundant. After five years you can become someone who either has one year’s experience repeated five times or someone with five year’s experience – your choice. After all you are as good as your last haircut. If you think training and education is expensive, consider the cost of ignorance. However, as a business owner you want to see the return on any investment you make on training. Firstly record all training in the staff’s profile—on My Salon Software you would use the Events tab. Then, after a period of time do a performance review for the staff who attended the training. If the training was successful you should see an improvement in those areas. This information can be found in the Staff KPI report under Reports. There is no such thing as a free lunch therefore you need this feedback, regularly, in order to grow. Please fee free to contact us about this or any other challenges you may be experiencing in your business. aletta@mysalonsoftware.co.za 064 504 6001 terry@mysalonsoftware.co.za 083 650 0952 CONTACT US for more info. www.mysalonsoftware.co.za info@mysalonsoftware.co.za terry@mysalonsoftware.co.za | 083 650 0952 aletta@mysalonsoftware.co.za | 064 504 6001

The collection draws inspiration from the culture of great fashion editorials, especially from the 80s and the 90s, with images that express the full potential of male beauty. With this inspiration, the collection sought to mix the freshest sensuality with sophistication and an impeccable finish. Hair emerges creatively with highly worked and wet textures, creative haircuts that express the richness of nuances, contours that tend towards waviness and thus transport us to a universe full of energy and subtlety at the same time.

Free products from Milkshake to salons. Empower salons to offer fabulous incentives to bring clients back. The COVID_19 Lockdown Regulations over the past 12 months had a tremendous impact on the turnover of our Hair Industry in South Africa. Although restrictions have been lifted, the impact on professional services and retail sales at salons is still experienced and will be for months to come. Milkshake SA was one of the frontrunners during the 2020 Lockdown period to sell professional retail products on behalf of its supporting salons, generating much needed turnover during the initial stages of Lockdown last year. Being closely involved with our salons, they have indicated to us that their retail sales are drastically down as a result of financial losses which their clientele has experienced during the past 12 months. In an effort to assist our salons to drive clients and retail sales back to their salons, we are truly delighted to announce and introduce the Milkshake® SALON RESCUE Programme which will run from 15 April 2021 until 30 June 2021. The main purpose and focus of this Programme is to increase salon retail sales and welcome clients back to salons so that clients can experience first-hand that they are safe and IN GOOD HANDS at salons in a safe, professional, Covid-compliant environment. With the Milkshake® SALON RESCUE Programme, end users will receive FREE PRODUCTS, sponsored by Milkshake SA. The salon will therefore buy three products and receive a FREE Conditioning Whipped Cream 200ml from the various concepts to pass onto their clients. Retail product offerings will be “Buy TWO Milkshake products and receive the Whipped Cream 200ml FREE of charge.” We believe this FREE products to both salon and their clients, to be much needed to successfully invite and drive retail sales back to salons. Both in-salon and e-commerce retail sales by salons are supported by this initiative. When ordering, salons has the option to choose from the Milkshake® Colour Care, Milkshake® Integrity System, Milkshake® Moisture Plus and Milskhake® Silver Shine product concepts, depending on their historical client retail demand. Social Media will be the main marketing driver of this retail campaign, with videos, posts and stories, which our salons can use on their social media platforms. Our salons do not have to invest massive amounts of money to market this initiative. Georg Marnewick of Milkshake SA says, “As owners of the Milkshake brand in South Africa, with this initiative we thank our loyal participating Milkshake salons for their support the past 12 months and we sincerely trust they will make use of the Milkshake® SALON RESCUE Programme to increase their retail sales and place the value added products in the hands of their clients. We also extend a friendly invitation to non-participating Milkshake salons to make use of this Programme in an effort to experience the value and benefits of the Milkshake brand.” As an extension of the Milkshake® SALON RESCUE Programme, we have specifically designed the Milkshake® STEP 1 – 4 SALON SOS Programme for the Milkshake newcomers with its main aim to assist salons to maximise their profits. Should you need more details regarding the Milkshake® SALON RESCUE Programme for existing Milkshake salons or Milkshake® STEP 1 – 4 SALON SOS Programme for Milkshake newcomers, please feel free to contact us immediately to capitalise on the financial benefits of these programmes.
