These incredible, conditioning treatments revive hair colour, and prolong the effects of a colour service, with intense and brilliant shine. The delicious fragrance is an added bonus that clients will love and their presentation creates a memorable experience that is an absolute wow factor! How to Create Direct Color Cocktails Yes – you literally create them in a cocktail glass! Channel your inner barman as your client watches in awe! First, you decorate the glass with approximately 3-5 ml of the chosen milk_shake direct colour shade. Fill the glass with approximately 5 grams of milk_shake conditioning whipped cream. Then add more direct colour into the glass, for a total of approximately 15 ml for the treatment. Then mix it until it is evenly combined. Apply the treatment to clean, damp hair with delicate and pleasant gestures! Leave in for 10 minutes, rinse well, and continue with the most suitable milk_shake leave-in treatment and styling products for the blow dry. Watch your client enjoy her gorgeous, shiny, colour-refreshed hair! While all the milk_shake direct colour products can be used for this treatment, the very best ones are: Brown, Silver, Beige Blond, Golden Blond, Copper, Deep Red and Eggplant. If you would like to find out more about this treatment, and Milkshake’s other innovative products and services that delight clients and offer your salon a point of difference, get in touch with us.

Some Saturday fun... we love this video, where Beyonce leaves the stage to interact with her fans, only to have her hair caught in a fan. Extracting her was a delicate process, but even with her prized locks trapped in the blades, she continues to perform like a pro.

In this fast-moving and competitive world where everybody seems to be chasing the buck - 2 for the price of one, 20% off this of that and everybody is out for themselves, you might be forgiven for thinking that, if you want loyalty, you'd better get a dog. For some people that is their reality but for many there is an alternative reality in which people make decisions based on their heads and their hearts and not on their pockets. There is a business principle called the Paretto Principle that says that 80% of loyalty is generated by 20% of your clients. So who are your most loyal clients? - the 20% of course. And why are they so loyal - not because your prices are cheap but because they understand the value of the service you provide. In the pursuit to grow our business we seem to focus a lot on getting new clients, and so we should. However, if growth relies mainly on getting new clients what are you doing with the clients you already have. And what happened to the many clients you have gained and lost over the years? While there is no mathematical certainty that you are going to retain all the clients you attract, it is clever to focus your energy in giving clients something to which they could become loyal e.g. an excellent customer experience. In the service industry perception is reality. If your business is driven by gratitude, followed by attitude, it is easier to achieve altitude. Clients go where they feel invited, they stay where they feel valued and grow where they are pampered. This level of recognition brings them back again and again and will encourage them to refer more people to your business. This becomes a sound business strategy when you have a dynamic loyalty programme. If recognition and gratitude are the underlying values that drive the business then rewarding clients for their loyalty just puts the cherry on the top of the cake. For example - if your clients earn one loyalty point for every R100 they spend they are accumulating points that could be exchanged (rewards) for a complimentary blow dry or treatment paid for by their loyalty points. If clients refer new business or buy promotional items or reach another anniversary year as one of your loyal clients, additional bonus points can be added to their 'loyalty account' and they receive their reward on a more regular basis. Such a loyalty programme has very little financial cost to your business but has phenomenal value to your clients.

A beautiful look that is truly “up” but in a playful and undone way. Here’s how to create it! Step 1: Prepare the hair by using a curling iron with a diameter of 38 mm to create subtle waves throughout the hair. Brush the hair, apply a little shine and you are ready to start working. Step 2: Separate the hair at the front, take a section from the crown, tie it in a ponytail with a hair tie and de-structure it a bit. Step 3: Using hair sticks, create definition in the upper section of the hair. Step 4: When the lacquer is dry, remove the hair sticks. Step 5: Take a section from each side and join them in the centre with a hair tie. Step 6: Repeat the previous step, but this time twist each strand a little. Step 7: With the remaining hair make a very loose braid. Step 8: Twist the braid over itself and secure it at the base with a hair fork. Step 9: Use a headdress/accessory if wanted Hair: Juanmy Medialdea Photography: Santo Palomo MUA: Sergio Peña Stylist: Juanmy Medialdea Modelling Agency: Nofuentes models You might also enjoy...

Astrologist Zema predicts your stars for February. For a full personalised reading, you can contact her on 083 430 1456. PISCES 19 FEB – 20 MARCH At last Pisky! We have arrived at the Year of Change! So many many things that you can do this year that will improve your life in so many ways it will make you gasp with surprise! Just don’t try and push your ideas onto others who have their own paths to walk … For some strange reason, people really like you, especially your sense of humour. DON’T overdo it. Lovelife also improves with time and Patience - PRACTICE! ARIES 21 MARCH – 19 APRIL There’s something you should be doing that you’re not doing. Irritating for everybody. Time to sit down and make lists of what you really want to achieve in this Special Year. And then - get on with it! You have a gift that you are not using enough, so now is the time to think before you go off on a wild path. Lovelife looks very good, just practice Patience which is hardly your strong point, although it IS improving! Hooray! TAURUS 20 APRIL – 20 MAY START You seem to have endless ideas to improve your life, but you really need to GET TO IT and - the worst advice for a Taurus - you need to keep your Patience. This is something that Taurus is not good at, so start practicing now. Lovelife looks very good, but DO take it slowly, don’t frighten this person away by jumping on the bandwagon too quickly. There are so many ways for you to improve your budget, so do it! GEMINI 21 MAY - 20 JUNE Gem! You’ve been very busy getting your life in order, but now is the time for you to move ahead and make your dreams come true. The best way to do this is to approach a person (carefully…) who understands what you need to do and discuss your ideas with him/her. The most important facet of this is to keep your patience and not keep interrupting he/she who ACTUALLY knows more than you do. Get going. Soon. CANCER 21 JUNE - 21 JULY Cancer! You have started this year well and need to carry on like this until its over! You have put so much negative activity in the past and you are moving on … The Universe is smiling! You are about to come up with a bright idea to make extra money (again) but this time do it fast. Last year taught you many things which can only bring you satisfaction! You need to make contact with somebody who needs your advice. (?) LEO 22 JULY - 22 AUG Leo! You are going to end up having more people around you than you would ever have expected. (WHY? we all ask). You come up with a few clever ideas to make money AND to do good things for others. How’s that? Lovelife looks better too, just don’t get carried away and pick on the wrong person …Get advice about this from someone who is close to you. You need to have contact with clever people, smooth tongue that you are. VIRGO 23 AUG – 22 SEP There appears to be somebody coming along in this famous year who is going to show you a path you need to follow and keep at it. Its something you haven’t thought of before, but it will take you by surprise! Lovelife looks a bit tricky at the moment but will improve hugely when you try to control the frustrating attention to detail and go with the flow. Bring back your famous Sense of Humour and - tra-la! Life and Love open up again! LIBRA 23 SEPT – OCT 22 If someone is trying to tell you what to do, walk away instead of fighting and trying to convince this person that he/she is wrong. You have an important mission to complete - pay a bit of attention to your spiritual side and you may discover incredible things about yourself that really will take you by surprise (AND everybody else). Embrace it! Take some time to look at something you’ve always wanted to do and get going. SCORPIO 23 OCT – 21 NOV Scorp! Put your Sting on hold for now - there are family issues that you have to work your way through step by step. You ARE capable of this, no matter what other people think. Doing this will also add hugely to your attraction to others! Especially a Partner who will be incredibly impressed by your wondrous understanding. What more could you ask for? Money of course, but this looks good as long as you keep going. NEVER STOP! SAGITTARIUS 22 NOV – 21 DEC You keep thinking of going somewhere - a trip you have been considering for a long time. Looks good - you’ll learn a lot - not just about others, but you will find the answer to something in your own heart that you’ve been considering for a long long time. How about you get with it now, Sag? Romance looks good! As long as you learn to jog along and not try to push things too hard or too fast. Think, think, think! CAPRICORN 21 DEC – JAN 20 If you want to improve your job status, now would be a good time to consider all your options. Your partner will be with you all the way. This new year brings many more opportunities that you would have considered before the famous 2020. Romance even improves, so you could have your hands full for a while, but being a Capricorn you will make the right decisions. If you’ve been thinking of buying property, wait a bit … AQUARIUS 20 JAN – 18 FEB You have a lot of things waiting for you but you have to pay attention and not grab the first one that sounds good. THINK FIRST! You’ll get exactly the Right One. But the actual secret to all this is not to jog around without settling down … You seem to have become more interested in Spiritual information, which is a good thing but! Put it on your list and work through everything waiting for you. Path to walk, Aqua! Think! You might also enjoy...
