In the fast-paced world of hairdressing, cosmetology, and beauty, professionals often find themselves in a unique position to influence their clients’ mental health and well-being. While the primary focus is on enhancing physical appearance, the impact on mental health cannot be overlooked. The Role of Beauty Professionals Cosmetology professionals often build close relationships with their clients, creating a space where clients feel comfortable sharing personal stories and struggles. This trust places cosmetology professionals in a position where they can positively impact their clients’ mental health. However, it also comes with significant ethical responsibilities. Ethical Responsibilities Recognising Boundaries : While cosmetology professionals can offer a listening ear, it is crucial to recognise the boundaries of their expertise. Providing mental health advice or counselling should be left to trained professionals. Instead, cosmetology professionals can offer support by listening empathetically and referring clients to appropriate mental health resources when necessary. Creating a Safe Environment : Establishing a safe and welcoming environment is essential. This includes respecting clients’ privacy and confidentiality, ensuring that conversations remain private, and creating a non-judgemental space where clients feel valued and respected. Promoting Positive Self-Image : The hairdressing, cosmetology, and beauty industry has a significant influence on societal standards of beauty. Cosmetology professionals should promote a positive self-image by celebrating diverse beauty standards and encouraging clients to appreciate their unique features. This can help combat the negative effects of unrealistic beauty standards on mental health. Being Mindful of Language : The language used by cosmetology professionals can have a profound impact on clients’ self-esteem. It is important to use positive and affirming language, avoiding comments that could be perceived as critical or judgemental. Continuous Education : Staying informed about mental health issues and the latest ethical guidelines is crucial. Cosmetologists should seek out training and resources to better understand how to support their clients’ mental well-being ethically. Practical Steps for Beauty Professionals Active Listening : Practice active listening techniques to show clients that their feelings and experiences are heard and valued. Referral Networks : Establish a network of mental health professionals to whom clients can be referred if they need more specialised support. Workshops and Training : Participate in workshops and training sessions focused on mental health awareness and ethical practices in the hairdressing, cosmetology, and beauty industry. Client Education : Educate clients about the importance of mental health and provide them with resources and information on where to seek help. The intersection of beauty and mental health presents both opportunities and challenges for cosmetology professionals. By adhering to ethical guidelines and prioritising their clients’ mental well-being, cosmetologists can make a positive impact that goes beyond physical appearance. Creating a supportive and empathetic environment not only enhances the client experience but also contributes to the overall wellbeing of the community. By embracing these ethical considerations, the hairdressing, cosmetology, and beauty industry can continue to evolve into a space that promotes holistic health and well-being for all.

Terracing draws inspiration from the dynamic interplay of diverse identities, united by a shared passion and community spirit. This collection celebrates individuality through a fusion of bold shapes, distinct colours, and unique styles. Each model represents a different persona—from mod and rude-boy to rocker and businessman—embodying the variety within the same ‘club’. Through contrasting yet complementary hairstyles and the iconic football kits they wear, Terracing highlights the beauty of diversity and how these identities can harmoniously coexist. Just like the terraces of a stadium filled with fans from all walks of life, this collection stands as a powerful tribute to unity in diversity.

It is with sincere regret that we announce the postponement of the Hairnews Industry Awards, but only for 2025!   Last year, we made the decision to shift the timeline for entries and voting, in hopes that this change would be more manageable for everyone involved. Unfortunately, this meant that not everyone who wanted to share their gorgeous work was able to do so in the timeframe.   We believe strongly that the Hairnews Awards should reflect the full scope of talent, passion, and excellence within our stylists, salons, industry brands and educators.  With all the artistic creativity of the South African hair and beauty industry, we want to really be able to showcase a fair and accurate representation of our amazing stylists and their incredible work.   We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who took the time this year to participate. Your continued support means the world to us.   The Hairnews Industry Awards will return in early 2026 — refreshed, re-energised, and with a timeline that better suits the rhythm of our amazing industry.   Thank you for your understanding and continued commitment to excellence.   Warm regards, The Hairnews Team

A special network forms around the most damaged areas,  reconstructing the internal structure  and building strength from the inside out. 2.     Fixing Phase: Seal and Protect Once the structure is rebuilt, a binding agent is applied to  seal the cuticle  and  lock in the active ingredients . This protective layer gives the hair a  radiant shine and silky feel , while preserving the reconstruction work for longer-lasting results.   A Personalized Experience for Every Client   The  Integrity Repair System  is fully customizable based on the level of damage: • Very Damaged Hair • Weak & Damaged Hair • Destructured Hair   You can tailor the treatment to the client’s specific needs using  balanced active ingredients  for a visible, instant improvement —  after just one session . The Perfect Take-Home Companion   For lasting results, recommend the  milk_shake® Integrity Leave-In Treatment . This lightweight, powerful spray nourishes the hair from roots to ends, maintaining salon-quality results between visits. It improves  manageability, softness, and shine  with every application.   Ready to Lead the Repair Revolution? • Offer your clients a  professional in-salon reconstruction  experience they’ll rave about. • Use  milk_shake® Integrity  products during consultations to promote  home care routines . • Stock retail favorites like the  Integrity Shampoo, Conditioner, Intensive Treatment, and Leave-In  on your shelves to  boost retail sales  and reinforce the treatment’s results.

Celebrating over 50 years of service in the hairpiece industry, Mike and Liz Hairpieces is thrilled to be celebrating our 6-month anniversary in our Groenkloof branch. Established in 1968, this family-run business has built a reputation for providing top-quality wigs, extensions, non-surgical hair replacement solutions, and more. To mark the occasion, we hosted a joyful celebration on 9 May 2025 and what a fabulous day it was! Those who attended absolutely loved it. We had fun fitting wigs, indulging in delicious snack platters, and sending our customers off with cute giveaways and gorgeous new hair. To top it all off, we had our very own Newtrino Specialist on-site, offering free trichoscopies - analysing scalps to help uncover the reasons behind hair thinning. All around, it was a smashing day, filled with fun, confidence boosts, and smiling faces. BOTTOM LEFT: Logan Dashwood (Owner of Mike and Liz), Sarah Brugger (Current Store Manager for the Groenkloof branch), Delia Annandale (Business Development Representative) The Linden branch in Johannesburg has already made a name for itself with its top-notch selection of synthetic and human hair wigs - basically, it’s the Harvard of Hair. And now, the Groenkloof location is aiming to match those fabulous follicles strand-for-strand. Our celebration day was a good start! But it’s not just about the hair - it’s about the heart. Our staff are specially trained to help clients experiencing hair loss for a range of reasons, and they do it with compassion and care.

We pride ourselves on being your go-to destination for both natural and synthetic hair solutions. The Groenkloof branch and Johannesburg branch will work hand in hand to provide you with the best care and aim to give you quality hair you will love. In addition to a wide selection of products, Mike and Liz Hairpieces also offers personal alterations at their onsite factory in Johannesburg to hairpieces, such as highlights and slight colour adjustments. And because we love our customers as much as we love a good root touch-up, our team in Pretoria now offers a pick-up-and-deliver service for wig alterations to our Johannesburg-based factory. That means you don’t have to sit in traffic - we’ll do the hooting for you. “We are so excited to expand our family business into Groenkloof,” said Logan, the owner. “Our goal has always been to help people look and feel beautiful, and we can’t wait to welcome our new clients.” We take a holistic approach to hair care, working with beauty professionals and partnering with Nonprofits like “ Look Good Feel Better ” to offer the full package - your one-stop solution for all hair needs.
