Dear Industry My name is Jolandi Kuhn and I am the owner of a beautiful boutique salon situated in Northcliff. I am looking for a stylist to work with me in the hair salon as a partner.

Profit share will also be an option after 1 year providing certain targets are met. This stylist would be required to take over the full existing client base for a couple of months as well as manage their own client base and new clientele. Please note: CV is required to apply for the position as well as credible references. If you are interested in this position kindly send your CV to cheveuxblanc7@gmail.com

Dedicated to Andrea Diobelli. In this time of uncertainty, hardship and loss, we look to the symbol of the lotus flower to give us solace and hope. The Lotus – newest collection by Candice Mckay. It perfectly blends avant-garde ideas and ready-to-wear execution. The concept The lotus flower has a life cycle unlike any other plant. Throughout the night it is hidden underwater, in complete darkness, with roots latched deep in the mud. When the sun rises, so too does the lotus, miraculously re-blooming, sparklingly clean. This process associates the flower with rebirth and spiritual enlightenment. The lotus represents the act of rising above challenges and moving towards the light of wisdom. This daily process of life, death and re-emergence symbolises regeneration and rebirth. It is a perfect analogy for the human condition. Even when it has it's roots buried in the cold stagnant water, the lotus produces the most beautiful flower. The flower represents our ability to come from a place of suffering into the light. Like the lotus rises through the water to the light, we too can rise up from difficulty and reconnect to the light that surrounds us. It is a symbol that shows that no matter where you start off in life or what you're currently going through, that you have the ability to rise above, overcome all negativity and find bliss as you emerge from your struggles. The looks The looks are feminine, delicate, yet strong. Each of them represent the beauty of eternal regeneration, the beauty and the power of life. Being simple and elegant, they all are extremely salon friendly and could be replicated by a hairdresser in the salon, or they can be a starting point for the intimate creative process between hairdresser and a client. This was done deliberately: I want to inspire hairdressers with the Lotus collection, but also to bring it to life, to the streets, to bring changes into the lives of real woman.

What is Mental Wellness? Being mentally well means, that your mind is in order and functioning in your best interest. You are able to think, feel and act in ways that create a positive impact on your physical and social well-being. Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through to adulthood. Mental health & COVID-19 Fear, worry, and stress are normal responses to perceived or real threats, and at times when we are faced with uncertainty or the unknown. So, it is normal and understandable that people are experiencing fear in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Added to the fear of contracting the virus in a pandemic such as COVID-19 are the significant changes to our daily lives as our movements are restricted in support of efforts to contain and slow down the spread of the virus. Faced with new realities such as operating a business at a reduced capacity, temporary unemployment, homeschooling of children, and lack of physical contact with other family members, friends and colleagues, it is important that we look after our mental, as well as our physical, health. The coronavirus can significantly affect mental health for everyone, but especially for those with mental illness. Both the anxiety of contracting the disease as well as the increase in loneliness and isolation can worsen and trigger symptoms. Acknowledging, recognizing and acting on mental distress in these uncertain times is key to lessening the impact. With the awareness of these mental health risks, we can work towards coping with this challenging situation and reduce the potential impact on our mental health. Here is a list of coping strategies to help get you through these uncertain times. Get outside—in nature—if you can This is much easier in the country or suburbs, but if you’re in the city and it’s feasible, shimmy past your building neighbours and go for a walk in the park. Remember to maintain distance from other people—as city dwellers know, this can take some maneuvering, but it’s possible. And there are some very good reasons to do so. Lots of recent research finds that spending time in nature is good for both mental and physical health. Meditation has lots of research behind it, as most people by now know—it’s been shown to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, and even increase the volume of certain areas of the brain. Practice gratitude This is not the easiest thing to do in these times, particularly if you’ve felt the more brutal effects of the pandemic, like job or business loss, or illness. But practicing gratitude for the things we do have has been shown again and again to be hugely beneficial to mental health. We’re fundamentally social creatures, and during crises it’s natural to want to gather. Social connectivity is perhaps the greatest determinant of wellbeing there is. So, texting and social media is ok for a short period of satisfaction, but picking up the phone and or video calling, or having a safe-distance conversation on the street, is probably much better. 5 Ways to Take Care of Your Mental Health During the Lockdown 1. Avoid stress 2. Exercise and or meditate for at least 30 minutes a day 3. Get sufficient sleep 4. Talk to family, friends and relatives on a regular basis 5. Have plans and set goals and work towards achieving them The EOHCB Team For more information on how the EOHCB can add value to every aspect of your business, get in touch with us today. www.eohcb.co.za

By Dean Karageorgiades, All Hair Solutions. All Hair Solutions is run by hairdressers, employs hairdressers and commits to hairdressers. For a considerable length of time there has been a trend in professional haircare being sold through unauthorised channels such as supermarkets and pharmacies and this was mainly due to diversion or grey market suppliers, sometimes by the suppliers themselves. These unauthorised outlets discounted the products and affected sales of these products in salons causing loss of income. Recently, there has been a trend towards retailing professional products through online platforms and this has accelerated exponentially. We have been warning salons about this for years. Unfortunately for a salon to survive in the current environment, you need every Rand you can earn more than ever. Competing against your own suppliers was never part of your business equation and now you find yourselves in the unexpected position where you are losing out financially and being left with stock on your shelves that you struggle to move. This has become a win, win, lose situation. Clients win, Suppliers win and Salons lose. Simple as that. What is regarded as a professional environment? A professional salon is a business that commits up to 25% retail space versus 75% full offering of hair services space or near enough to not confuse what the business is. A hair salon. This nullifies blow dry bars and fake salons where product space outweighs services space. Any products that are sold in any other environment by choice, in our opinion, cannot be deemed a professional product anymore. The commitment to training on these products and the time taken for said training are key to the profession and therefore, an order-taker on the other side of a computer is not educated enough, nor can they consult effectively to recommend the correct products to the purchaser and besides, "they generally promote the brand of the day which in itself, is not in the customer's best interest." To add further insult to injury, there is now a trend of huge discounts and deals being offered to the consumer leaving your business compromised even more. It's grossly unjust that after all the commitment to training and to your supplier, clients buy online, oftentimes, whilst they're sitting in your chair. Let's be crystal clear here, there are no consumers that have never had a professional product prescribed, purchasing professional products online. The only online customers are salon clients who have been prescribed products. We, at All Hair Solutions, have a 30 year history of being 100% behind our salons, stylists and the industry at large. We provide education on products, on business solutions and support you in any way that we can so that you, and us, can succeed as a team. We have taken a strong position not to supply any business that is not a salon by the definition above unless we know you to be a qualified mobile stylist trying to make ends meet. If your client is buying online, she doesn't get to see you and can be potentially lost due to the fact that they believe you're not serving them well from a product price perspective. You have the power to stop this practice. Support the businesses that support your business. Take ownership of your own destiny and flourish!

1941 is a review of our darkest past, the one in which humanity was exalted in violence. In this case, José Urrutia is inspired by the battle of Pearl Harbor, which on its 80th anniversary should make us reflect on the trauma that any war causes. Therefore, it is an anti-war chant that is reflected in disturbing looks, with clear references to the military world. Curls that fall in an open and clear cascade like the effect of a bomb; haircuts with shiny and impeccable fringes, typical of the discipline of the army; tousled finishes and unstructured haircuts that remind us of those who suffer the devastating effects of war; and raised toupees that take us back to the aesthetics of a painful time.

As human beings, two of our most valuable resources on earth are TIME and WATER. REFRESH DRY CLEANSE SAVES YOU BOTH! These days we as South Africans deal with many challenges like WATER SHORTAGES and LOADSHEDDING. If you own a dry shampoo, at least your hair does not have to be a concern during a day without water or electricity. A dry shampoo is a “must have” product for almost anyone that needs to freshen-up their hair quickly and easily, without the use of water or a hairdryer! Whether after a gym session before going home, before a dinner date after a long day at work or just for yourself on a lazy Saturday morning. No time to Wash? Not to Worry! REFRESH DRY CLEANSE What makes Refresh Dry Cleanse different? It leaves the hair moisturized, soft, and easy to work with, especially on more porous hair types. Zero White Residue on the hair, ESPECIALLY DARK HAIR! No dull, matt look, only SHINY, CLEAN HAIR. It does not leave the hair feeling dried out, knotty and coarse. Truly makes the hair more manageable! So, what exactly are the benefits of using Refresh Dry Cleanse? It reduces the frequency of normal washing. A dry shampoo is typically used on the days in between washing your hair with water and shampoo. It works by absorbing the oils that accumulate on the hair due to the normal oil secretion of the scalp. Such a product is a great asset for persons who wash their hair daily, as a dry shampoo will enable you to give your hair and scalp a rest from washing that often. Refresh Dry Cleanse leaves the hair feeling, looking, and smelling like it has truly just been washed. What are the benefits of washing less frequently? A big advantage for clients who colour their hair, is that washing less will extend the lifespan of their colour. Using a dry shampoo also reduces mechanical stress and damage done to the hair, due to heat styling, as it will not be necessary to blow-wave or flat iron after using a dry shampoo. Due to the extended washing intervals, one reduces the amount of moisture your hair potentially loses during normal washing and drying. Additional benefits of using Refresh Dry Cleanse. The SMELL OF COURSE! It really is amazing! Users with finer hair types will experience an increase in volume and style-ability of the hair, which is a great benefit. It will help retain the moisture content of the hair, increasing manageability. Static in the hair is greatly reduced with REFRESH DRY CLEANSE. Panthenol helps strengthen the hair. This brand new, well priced, locally produced Dry Shampoo is well worth a try. info@bio-kinetic.co.za 082 410 2205 012 661 8738 www.biokinetic.co.za Facebook | Instagram

Marketing is necessary if you want your business to survive, let alone grow, but that doesn’t mean it needs to break the bank. These small business marketing tips can help you to actively invest in your business so you can get the most out of any budget that you have available. Here are 5 marketing tips, which won’t break the bank: 1. Always carry business cards with you: Business cards give you a quick way to exchange information and they can lend some credibility and professionalism, too. You can meet potential clients, suppliers, or even employees pretty much anywhere, so you want to be prepared. 2. Utilise your network: Your network already knows and hopefully trusts you. Reaching out and letting them know that your business is open and what you can do for them is all that’s needed. This can be effective even if it’s a single Facebook post letting your friends know about your goods and services. 3. Offer incentives for referrals: Let your current clients know that if they send you a referral that turns into a customer, you’ll incentivize them on their next service or product purchase. Referrals from clients will give you warm, qualified leads. These referrals will know what to expect from you and your clients won’t send them your way knowing they’d be a nightmare client or on too tight of a budget to be able to afford your services and or products. 4. Work with other businesses: Partnering up with other businesses is a great way to go. This could be suppliers, but it could also be other businesses within the scope of the Hairdressing, Cosmetology, Beauty and Skincare Industry or other complementary industries that share a target audience with you. Offering package deals together, like come in for a facial and receive a voucher for Botox from a qualified medical professional as an example. 5. Keep your social presence up to date: Your online presence should be updated consistently and regularly. Engagements with your audience on all social media platforms and digital platforms such as email and WhatsApp or telecommunications such as SMS should have a goal in mind, like getting your audience to subscribe to your email or WhatsApp list or get in touch with you to ask about a product or service mentioned in the post. These tips are brought to you by the EOHCB team – supporting you as a business owner and adding value to your business. For more information on joining, contact your local area representative HERE.
