LESSOAN Thermoplastia  is a professional smoothing and restructuring treatment powered by advanced  nanoplastia technology , enhanced with  built-in violet pigments to counter unwanted yellow tones, and developed with a  formaldehyde-free  formulation for a premium, comfortable salon experience.   It smooths frizz. It restores shine. It cool-tones the hair. What if one in-salon service could smooth, restore, and neutralise yellow tones at the same time?   That’s exactly what  LESSOAN Thermoplastia  delivers. Powered by advanced  nanoplastia technology  and  built-in violet pigments , Thermoplastia works deep within the hair structure while you seal the treatment with heat — leaving hair visibly smoother, intensely glossy, and beautifully cool-toned.   What makes Thermoplastia different? Nanoplastia action  that penetrates and restructures from within Thermal activation  for long-lasting smoothness and shine Violet pigments  that counteract unwanted yellow/brassy tones during the service Results your client can  see  in the mirror before they leave the chair.   No extra toners. No add-ons. No second process.Just one powerful treatment with a dramatic before-and-after.   What your clients experience Frizz transformed into glass-like smoothness Yellow, dull tones neutralised to a cooler, healthier look Hair that feels stronger, softer, and visibly rejuvenated Immediate confidence from instant, visible results   And when clients  see  this level of transformation in your salon, they don’t forget it. They rebook. They recommend. They trust your expertise.   LESSOAN Thermoplastia   isn’t just a smoothing service — it’s a confidence-boosting, chair-side transformation your clients will talk about long after they leave.   And the results last for months. But here’s where the real opportunity lies… Not just in  doing  the treatment. In  showcasing  the fact that you offer a premium Brazilian treatment your competitors don’t, you position your business as a leader in hair health and innovation.   How to Highlight Thermoplastia as a Key Salon Differentiator   Rename the Service on Your Menu This isn’t just a “Brazilian Blow Wave” - list your service as LESSOAN Thermoplastia Nanoplastia Treatment . Make the name part of the value.   Let the Results Lead the Conversation: Nothing sells this service better than visible transformation. Consistently sharing "Before & After" results on social media and within the salon provides authentic proof of the service's impact.   Highlight the Violet Pigment Benefit Most Brazilian treatments smooth hair. Very few neutralise yellow tones at the same time. This dual-action approach serves as a compelling point of interest for blonde and silver-haired clients.   Emphasize Thermoplastia as a Premium, Formaldehyde-Free Experience Clients prioritize wellness and safety. This builds immediate trust and perceived quality, reinforcing the quality of your salon’s standards.   Create a “Thermoplastia Client Journey” Shift the focus from a one-time appointment to a holistic experience: Consultation → In-salon Treatment → LESSOAN Home Care.   This approach nurtures long-term relationships and ensures the longevity of the results for your clients.   Standardise your Team’s Professional Terminology   Encourage your team to utilize precise language such as "nanoplastia technology" and "integrated smoothing and tone correction." Accurate, professional phrasing elevates the client’s perception of the service’s technical complexity.   Showcase Integrated Home Care   Displaying the LESSOAN home care system prominently reinforces that this is a professional regimen. It signals to the client that the treatment is part of a premium, results-oriented ecosystem rather than a standalone service.     Thoughtful positioning establishes Thermoplastia as a premium standard, moving beyond the traditional service comparison. Clients don’t compare you to other salons. They look specifically for the salon that offers  LESSOAN Thermoplastia .   And that salon … is yours. LESSOAN Help your clients revive and restore their hair, transform your services, delight your clients, and grow your business.  Get in touch on 021 552 2369

Silhouette boldly explores the relationship between precision and form. Focused on wearable geometric haircuts, the collection features sharp lines, tousled textures, and architectural shapes that highlight craftsmanship and control. Each cut is a sculptural statement, designed to frame the face and accentuate bone structure. Strong angles and clean silhouettes lend a futuristic, graphic edge to the overall aesthetic.   Complementing the hair are fashion-forward silhouettes that play with proportion and balance. The minimalist styling enhances the drama without overshadowing the cuts, reinforcing the collection’s refined visual impact.   The result is a cohesive visual language that blurs the boundary between hair design and high-concept fashion. Silhouette redefines traditional ideas of beauty and balance, celebrating strength, form, and individuality through disciplined design and bold creative vision.” Akin Konizi, HOB International Creative Director   Hair By HOB Creative Team – Akin Konizi, Nestor Sanchez-Gomez, Elijah Hourrides, Jake Unger, Brad Baker, Jake Simmonds and Chloe Buckler   Artistic Team of the Year Make-up: John Christopher Photographer: Richard Miles

Today, as Commercial Education Director for EMEA, Claire leads education across  Goldwell ,  KMS , and  Kerasilk , continuing to champion creative excellence while driving commercial growth throughout the professional industry.   Her presence at this event signals more than attendance, it represents global commitment, international connection, and the future direction of professional hair education.   This March, South Africa will not just experience artistry on stage, but leadership shaping the industry worldwide.
