A few weeks ago, Hairnews did a survey where we asked salon owners about their situation post-covid. We received responses from many salons in many different situations: Most were in small neighbourhood centres (37%). Some were in large centres or malls (22%) Some were in the high street (17%) Some were in private property (12%) A few others were in small business complexes, large office parks, business buildings, and in hotel spas. 50% of the respondents were from Gauteng, 33% from the Western Cape, 10% from KZN and the remaining 7% from other provinces. Before Covid 45% of salons were borderline viable pre-Covid, and only just affording the rental. 32% of salons felt their business was very viable before Covid, and that their rental was fair and affordable. 23% were on the verge of being non viable, with unaffordable rental being the main reason. During Lockdown 42% of salons said their landlord was very fair and reasonable during lockdown. 22% of salons said their landlord was unfair and unreasonable. 21% had to close down or leave the premises during lockdown as a result of the landlord. 15% of salons had to negotiate hard to get a fair outcome. Post-Covid-19 After Reopening 48% of salons said they are in the same centre as before, and still viable under the new protocols, with the same rental as they were paying before lockdown. 30% of salons were forced to move or will be forced to move after being unable to reach a compromise with the landlord on rental. 7% of salons said they were in the same centre as before and still viable with a reduced rental. A few others have: Moved home Closed down due to landlord Were still trying to negotiate at the time of the survey Were borderline viable and still deciding whether to close Were paying rent on a monthly basis but not at a rate that is viable long term. ​ Receiving Help 12% of salons consulted their lawyer and received help from them in their negotiations. However the majority negotiated by themselves, but received advice and guidance from: Industry media Social media Other salon owners Industry organisations Pavlo Phitidis webinars Looking Forward 50% of salon owners said that business is slower than pre Covid, but they are optimistic that it is improving and that they can remain viable. 28% of salon owners said that business is much slower and they are pessimistic about remaining viable. 13% said they are seriously considering closing or relocating due to the downturn in business. 5% said that business is good and they feel the positive trend will continue A few others had already closed or relocated at the time of the survey. Survey Comments The survey asked for salons to comment on their situation and their perspective on landlords. We received the following comments regarding landlords: Small, independent tenants should not have to cross-subsidise anchor tenants when it comes to paying for utilities for common areas - just not viable Rental takes a huge chunk out of one’s turnover. Business is slow and we are working at 50% capacity. (half staff) Having said that business is so slow that even if were were at 100 staff, we would have staff sitting around doing nothing. It is really disheartening. I’m optimistic and excited. Lockdown has forced change and thinking out the box. While there is a tough steep road ahead it is looking positive We feel shopping centres should be more accommodating and look at rental based on turnover. They should change the way they operate in order to keep shops open and not have empty shopping centres. My landlord flat out refused to reduce rent; and some industry brands have started selling to unqualified purchasers making our sales and services even harder. Government should have made provision for this. Even guidelines. I have not heard of one spa that got help. Thanks to all those who participated in the survey.

When it comes to colour, I think clients will be more inspired by nature, after having time to appreciate it more. Hair colours inspired by the sky – from pale pink dawns to midday blues and shimmering dark twilight colours – will be a trend, think soft pearlised hues. It’s a natural move on from last season’s hottest shade: pearlescent opal. Post lockdown will also bring in plenty of pearlescent shades of brunette and blonde. Pearly silver will be worked into warmer golden shades of blonde for a wearable alternative to last season’s opal. Cool milky and mineralised brunette tones are also a progression from opal and pearl. Pearlised blonde can be quite easily blended bespoke to flatter a natural blonde client’s complexion, regardless of its tone. So, for example, for warm-toned skin I would add more warm pigments and keep more golden hued sections around the face, weaving the more subtle pearly white shades away from the face. For cooler complexions I would simply opt for more pinky pearlescent-white shades and work these in more heavily. Watch this fabulous interview with the trendsetting colour expert Chase Meakin, Muk South Africa ambassador. Summer Blonde Focus and Money Pieces with Bernadine Malan of Beauty on First Q: Are you going to be recommending changes to your blonde clients this summer and if so what are some of the main ways you will change their colour to remain on trend? A: Every new season brings the opportunity for a fresh new trendy blonde but this summer is unlike ever we have had before as so many people went up to three months without colouring their hair at all! This gave me so much more opportunity to make huge blonde changes . I’ve been doing allot of natural colour blending Into bright blondes as so many people don’t want to get stuck in a scenario where it’s illegal to just colour their roots again! There has also been a huge amount of young people requesting a “money piece” Colour placement . So I’ve started recommending them to more clients as a cute blonde feature onto their regular colors Q: Let’s talk about the enduring popularity of reds. What shades of red do you predict being most sought after this season? A: This season I predict bright golden coppers and deep magenta reds . Almost every week I consult for requests on those two shades, so they are definitely more popular than the others . Q: Has lockdown changed your salon’s approach to colour – if so in what ways? A: We have made safety the no 1 policy for all colour clients as so many people seem themselves high risk and still are not comfortable being in a public setting . At Beauty on first we have made a separate colour bar where clients are able to do a drive through tint application where they are completely isolated and just come in to have the colour applied . We are also still making home kits for clients with step by step instructions . All of these services only apply for root tints and require a virtual consultation to prepare. Balayage and Other Budget Friendly Options with Elizma Crous, National Education Manager for Modern Hair & Beauty Q: What do you predict this summer’s biggest trends in blonde will be? A: The popularity of balayage continues to grow, and every stylist needs to stock a wide selection of light and natural blonde shades to ensure you are fully equipped to achieve the most beautiful looks which graduate from high contrast to soft harmony. Q: Some clients are on a tighter budget post pandemic. What are your suggestions for more affordable options for fabulous colour and maintenance ideas? A: The Balayage hair trend have been around for a few years and is nothing particularly new but I have noticed that people’s interest in the technique has skyrocketed after the pandemic. Most balayages look better the longer you leave them to grow out, meaning that the regrowth will enhance the look. At Wella Professionals we find the glossing services available in KPME+, Colour Touch and Illumina that are intermixed with our treatments are very popular, as they enhance the tonality and maintain the look for a few months so it works out very cost effective. Plus, they only take 15 minutes to develop. Q: Has lockdown changed your salon’s approach to colour – if so in what ways? A: Yes definitely - Less is more. Stylists have realised that they are not charging enough for the colour services that they offered. The biggest reason for this is that they were afraid to lose clients by raising prices. What they have now realised is that with seeing less clients per day and charging their worth, they can generate more income, by working smarter and not harder. Beautiful Balayage Effects Time saving, statement colour services and focus on maintenance with Hannes Greyling of Effects Hair Q: What do you predict this summer’s biggest trends in blonde will be?A: I believe we will be seeing even more of the low maintenance "unkept" hair, so more shadow roots and balayage techniques that give the illusion of minimal effort. I also see the "money piece" or a chunky solid blonde streak in the fringe has hit our shores, sometimes in combination with a balayage and often even as a single flash of colour.Q: Some clients are on a tighter budget post pandemic. What are your suggestions for more affordable options for fabulous colour and maintenance ideas?A: Don't skimp out on professional products! Proper home care can prolong your clients’ colour much longer, and using the right products will leave their hair feeling and looking like they’ve just stepped out of the salon.Ensure you stock a range that meets your clients’ budget at this time. Professional lines that are local, like Biosense, don't have the additional import costs etc that some of the international brands have, but they deliver the same great results.Q: Has lockdown changed your salon’s approach to colour – if so in what ways?A: People are looking for the most impact for the least amount of money, so I had to make sure my colour line (Colorsense from Biosense) can deliver vibrant colour without fading. A strong statement colours also satisfies the client's need for a change.Clients want to spend less time in the salon, so using new techniques and making the most of the time, we can design styles and colours that look fresh and fashionable, while cutting down on time in the chair. High Fashion Colour Trends and Grey Advice with Salome de Wet of Look Q: Do you think high fashion colours will be more popular or not so popular this season and what would you say the most sought after fashion shades will be? A: High fashion colors are definitely here to stay in my opinion, although the fashion shades are moving to more pastel/ muted versions of the shades. After COVID I feel that some of our clients have taken a “yolo” approach on their hair and taking bigger fashion risks. Various clients are also able to work from home and finally able to push the boundaries of their hair color and styles. I believe the coming season key colours will be a variety of power pastels such as shades of rosy pinks, mauve lilac, frosted minty greens, soft teals & warm and cool versions of yellow. Q: What advice would you give a client who is undecided about letting their grey grow out? A: I absolutely love when clients grow out their own natural grey. My best advice will firstly be to avoid trying to match the color. In my opinion you will waste loads of money and time. Any hairstylist will have massive difficulties matching artificial colour to your beautiful dimensional grey. Grow your roots out for as far as you possibly can and cut your hair short! Start all over. I believe when wanting to embrace your own grey, it can be quite aging. My advice is always to compliment the grey hair with a modern cut. This balances the look out to be more trendy. Finish the look up by adding bright lips to your day! Q: Has lockdown changed your salon’s approach to colour – if so in what ways? A: I wouldn’t say it has really changed my approach to colour. I have been affected by the amount of clients I can see and the limited space. I have been taking more time with each of my clients which I have been enjoying so much. I feel taking that extra time have been such a gift as most clients not only have lockdown roots, they feel like they need a good change after the traumatic time we have all been through. One thing we have noticed is that more clients are requesting low maintenance colours to be done, most of the clients are moving from scalp bleaches to a more natural looking balayage type of service. They are more budget conscious and they realized the convenience of having low maintenance hair throughout lockdown. Red Inspiration for Summer by Reana Viljoen, Milkshake Haircare Technician Q: Some clients are on a tighter budget post pandemic. What are your suggestions for more affordable options for fabulous colour and maintenance ideas? A: A lot of clients began growing out their natural or grey hair during Lockdown. With that most clients only need to touch-up their regrowth every 4-6 weeks. Time is also money so if you offer a fast-acting colour option then it is quicker for the client and you – the new 9 Minute Permanent Color from Milk_shake is an example of a perfect colour for a “lunch time Quickie”. I would also suggest doing a balayage or root melting on clients, this will extend the life of the clients colour and this is lower maintenance. With all that said, invest in the best home care product, to not only protect your colour but that will also maintain and keep your colour vibrant and shiny for longer. Suggestions products: •Milk_shake Color Whipped Cream •Milk_shake Color Care Shampoo and Conditioner Q: Let’s talk about the enduring popularity of reds. What shades of red do you predict being most sought after this season? A: When it comes to a high impact colour, nothing beats reds. Red hair are attention grabbing and vibrant. Personally I believe anybody can be a redhead, all you have to do is finding the correct/right shade for their complexion. For me, the most popular red this season is the Bright intense red. My three favourites are listed below: Bright Red - This bright and intense red goes beautifully with brown eyes and golden, olive completions. Red copper – this rich red with orange tones will suit your golden skin types, perfectly matched with hazel brown, green and blue eyes. Mahogany – this cooler red tone will suit any cool tones of skin and is the perfect match with brown and blue eyes. Q: Has lockdown changed salon’s approach to colour – if so in what ways? A: Yes! Many clients have grown out their natural hair colour and have seen that they can wait a week or two longer before doing a colour service again. This for salons mean that more clients will do less colour, so instead of doing a colour 4-6 weeks they will do a colour only every 8-12 weeks or even completely stop doing a colour service in salon. So rather than stop doing colour, many stylists are now recommending root shadow/colour melting and balayage because it’s lower maintenance and helps to extend the life of a clients hair colour. During lockdown most of the clients started using box dye and this for stylists meant dealing with colour correction much more frequently, as well as dealing with longer roots, so that precise application is more important than ever before. “Bold Red and Punchy Pastels” Steph Peckmore from Bad Apple Hair, UK, predicts spring-summer colour trends. Red was last season’s standout shade, and as an organic development of that trend, we’re now seeing even more amplified takes on rouge for Spring/Summer 2020 and this time the colour is even more intense and the effect even more extreme. It’s certainly not a shade for wallflowers, but if your clients are looking for this summer’s alternative to the high-maintenance platinum and white that usually fills up their Insta feed over the summer months, then this is it. Pastels are back, and packing a powerful punch. From violent violet and Tipex-white streaks, to imposing lemon and candyfloss, powdery pastels appeared in many Fashion Week shows. What truly defines the new season’s pastels is that they’re intense, concentrated and authoritative. The key to nailing this differential and ensuring pastels look modern is to use shades that are fundamentally muted and delicate, but place them and deliver them with punch. One effective technique is to use two so-similar-they-clash colours against each other, which that beautifully unpredictable powerful pastel punch.

Welcome to the #gameofwella: Here, your hairdressing skills will be tested, your colouring techniques challenged, and you'll have the chance to be the ultimate Wella winner. Enter the game if you dare – whether you're a Wella or non-Wella stockist - and be sure to present your best understanding of contrasting light and dark. That is your best commercial, wearable Balayage. Ladies and gentlemen your colour craft may put you in the running to be the #gameofwella Colour Specialist of the Year 2021. Modern Hair & Beauty's FIRST EVER Digital hair competition rumoured to be the Instagram highlight of the year – and the most coveted title of the industry. It's game on for salons and stylists across South Africa – all you have to do is post your best before/after look, together with the correct #, formula and technique on Instagram and keep your fingers crossed. The competition is open to anyone qualified as a hairdresser and working in a salon. All non-Wella entrants will be provided with a Wella colour box so that you can create a stunning Balayage with Wella Professionals colour and styling. You'll need to fill in the downloadable registration form, return it, and follow the Rules & Regulations before posting. If you're a Wella stylist, you'll only need to follow the competition Rules & Regulations on the Modern Hair & Beauty website and post your before/after looks on Instagram. There are plenty of prizes up for grabs for both Wella and Non-Wella entrants. Win your share of over R170 000, Wella Professional colour stock, or a place at the Destination Event 2021. Voting will open to the public, to select the winners for the People's Choice Award alongside the Gold, Silver, and Bronze winners. The competition The competition celebrates both stylists' skills and the diversity of beauty with Wella. The #gameofwella competition allows you to set the tone for coming trends while accentuating your model's natural beauty. Based on the shift we've seen in how trends develop: Not set by experts, designers, or fashion houses. But instead on the principle of connection, ignited conversations, and sharing opinions. The #gameofwella competition will allow you to become collective trendsetters in what will be the coming year's sought-after Balayage looks. The competition has two categories • Wella Stockists (use only Wella Professional products) • Non-Wella Stockists (will receive a box of Wella Professional products to create the look) Both categories will receive the same set of rules to create the looks with a few exceptions which you'll find on the website. The #gameofwella competition was inspired by a TrendVision category launched in early 2020. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 the National TrendVision Award was cancelled. However, we wanted to allow stylists the opportunity to compete in an exciting, local competition. It's important to note that #gameofwella is specific to Modern Hair & Beauty and has no affiliation to the TrendVision Award. This competition will be exclusive to Instagram, and stylists will be judged on the before/after images they post on the platform - International Top Artists will judge the looks. For a full list of prizes, the do's and don'ts and the Rules & Regulations for both Wella and non-Wella stylists you can view the Modern Hair & Beauty website. Hair Language The Wella Hair Language describes what a Wella Balayage is and what it's not. We're looking for light and dark placement that accentuates the model's natural beauty. The look should be premium yet commercial and can be natural or slightly dramatic. A premium Balayage is reliant on technique to make it look effortless. Think soft transitions from dark to light. Make sure that the colour enhances the model's natural colour and features - choosing the correct colour palette is very important. For a full list of what a Balayage is and what it's not here.

This collection is inspired by water as a source of life. In addition, with it, Salvador Oliver, pays homage to his land, Murcia (Spain), where water is a scarce commodity in all its forms, fresh and salt. Aqua captures water in its different forms in each of the four images and, with this work, the hairdresser manages to take another step in his career, reaching his first cover. To highlight the importance of water and, therefore, of life, all images are in black and white, except for the look and the background, which are blue. Likewise, in each of the looks, it is present in the form of drops on the face and the hair. The collection also serves as a vindication. Murcia has the largest salt water lagoon in Europe, Mar Menor, which is connected to the Mediterranean Sea, and which has been dying for several years due to the inaction of public administration. This look represents sea water after hitting the rocks. To achieve this beautiful effect, Salvador Oliver creates hypertextured zones disconnected from the side with a very solid and perfect geometry, which is characteristic of the entire collection. This look represents a wave just before breaking, and that is why very solid shapes and very geometric haircuts are used, without neglecting the detail of the drops sliding down the face, a very symbolic effect that accompanies the entire collection. In this image the water is represented through the fresh water of a waterfall, hence the verticality and the strands that fall as if they were different jets or jets. The wet texture, created from a very watery fixation, transmits the solidity of water even more strongly when it glides in abundance. In this last image, water appears tame, as when it is captured in a solid container, be it a pond, a tank or even a simple glass of water. However, its beauty and mystery remain dormant.
