Miami Vice – The paradox of the strength and feminine allure Drawing from cop shows of old, the Miami Vice collection presents women of strength who intriguingly retain a romantic, soft side to their personal style. “It’s almost like the policewoman crossed with the beautiful, smiling assassin,” hairdresser James Calabria of Franco of Canberra said. “In the Miami Vice collection, these girls are like tough cops committed to their task of bringing criminals to justice but they are feminine, even sexy. Maybe this is a weapon? Maybe it’s the veneer of resilience? There’s mystery in exactly what each woman is about.” The looks draw on the late 1980s of the Miami Vice TV show era, with texture, curl, bobs, short structured looks and longer hairstyles. James said that importantly from a business point-of-view, these fashion-forward looks were created to be accessible. “These are the sort of looks that clients request in the salon, but with a fashion forward edge,” James said. “I want to hear clients say ‘Can I please have the look in that photo of the wall?’, ‘Could I please have that fringe, texture, colour, makeover even?’ “The collection also sees the return of some stronger styling products drawing on 80s techniques to add volume, curl, tousled locks and even structure for short hair. Miami Vice is about girl power and we aim for Franco of Canberra clients and others influenced by this collection to embrace its aesthetic and energy.

How is success measured? Success The accomplishment of an aim or purpose. "there is a thin line between success and failure” the good or bad outcome of an undertaking. "the good or ill success of their maritime enterprises" Success is measured by achieving a goal! And...It’s different for everyone. For Shaun Wiegand of SHIFT Holdings success has been measured by launching a product, 72 Hair, into the market during a global pandemic. SHIFT Holdings has a 360 offering to salons and the ethos behind the name and the offering is to change thinking, help the industry move forward and inspire. How did he make this look so seamless? Well…. It wasn’t really, but through hard work, the right collaborations, a step-by-step process and believing in his product, his customers and himself, 72 Hair has successfully been pinned on the map. Shaun launched 72 Hair in South Africa in October 2019. Just as the brand of vegan products was gaining traction in the marketplace… BOOM! Along came COVID-19 throwing the proverbial spanner in the works. With his hands tied due to non-essential services being disallowed, Shaun partnered with Hair-la-quin, a Social Media services company to create awareness and keep the brand alive via social platforms through marketing to consumers and salons. This brand awareness set the stage to sky-rocket the brand into salons post lockdown. With 42% of people using social media more often than pre-pandemic it became a ‘no-brainer’ to utilise digital platforms for education of a product. Being on a limited budget for advertising, Hair-la-quin utilized organic reach on the 72 Hair SA pages, to initially kickstart the marketing and advertising strategy and to gain brand recognition. Finally… the sky began to clear and salons were opening their doors...it was Level 3 [cue epic music] think Superman Theme! 72 Hair in the UK, where the product was originally created by the Green Family who are 3rd generation stylists, is fast becoming one of the top go-to vegan brands in the UK, and they have a strong label.m/Tony&Guy affiliation. It made sense to collaborate with label.m and Haircair locally to open doors and work together on generating growth. Since this collaboration, 72 Hair has been able to service clients on a national basis. Shaun, having been in the industry for almost 25 years, understands the value of educators and education, and quality, safe products for stylists to use in their businesses. He looked at influencers in our industry that adhere to the same standards of education and quality that he does and thus forged a beneficial partner with Terry Scott Hair Fashion. Terry, who is a trend setter, an industry leader and phenomenal business mind… and he’s known to be a pretty good hair stylist too, has come on board as the 72 Hair KZN Brand Ambassador. Terry sees the value and benefit of having a vegan smoothing treatment to offer clients of all walks of life, with retail products to back up the vegan offering. #notetoself #especiallycheckoutthereplenishingmask #WOW With great media exposure, a truly incredible product and a positive attitude that a sound business plan would work… the rest is history. Shaun says; ‘Having personally experienced losing everything and starting over, my message to everyone in the industry is, never lose hope, stay focussed on what you want and every day take steps in the right direction to move you forward to where you want to be.’ Tel: 079 459 6161 Email: shaunwiegand76@gmail.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/SHIFTMYSTYLE

On 11 November 2020, President Cyril Ramaphosa announced that the Cabinet had declared November 25 to 29 as the five days of mourning for the victims of Covid-19. During this time, the national flag will fly at half-mast throughout the country from 6am to 6pm. Milkshake South Africa supports the President’s call for all South Africans to demonstrate their solidarity in remembrance of our countrymen and women by wearing a black armband or other signs of mourning to signify respect for those who have died from the virus. “In recognition of the grief that we share as a nation, and as an affirmation of our determination to overcome this devastating disease, we look back on a year of much pain and sorrow, and it is important as a nation that we should honour and remember all those who have succumbed to this disease, ” he said.
