Inspired by nature, the new INESSENCE line by SYSTEM PROFESSIONAL recharges the natural energy of hair to rejuvenate, moisturise, and improve the hair’s manageability. Designed to be used together with existing lines or as a standalone, INESSENCE provides the perfect combination of natural ingredients and performance. Nowadays 1 in 3 clients are ingredient conscious and prefer to purchase hair care products with natural ingredients. However, 90% of clients mix them with mainstream products, as they are concerned that natural products are less effective. As a result, their biggest unmet need is a perfect combination of natural ingredients and performance. SYSTEM PROFESSIONAL meets this demand with the launch of INESSENCE: hair care that blends the energy of nature with the power of science. Comprised of up to 96% natural origin ingredients (ranges from 91% to 96% depending on products), INESSENCE is formulated without the use of sulphates, silicones, and parabens resulting in rejuvenated looking hair. With the addition of biomimicry technology, which seeks sustainable solutions by emulating nature’s time-tested patterns, INESSENCE recharges the natural energy of your hair leaving it manageable and healthy looking. Never one to compromise on performance, SYSTEM PROFESSIONAL has devised this exceptional subrange that not only demonstrates the brand’s firm commitment to the use natural ingredients, but INESSENCE also manages to uphold SYSTEM PROFESSIONAL’s adherence to luxury and passion for transformative hair care. Created with Acai Stem Cells Extract, the line-up includes four new products: Hair Rejuvenating Shampoo with 92% natural origin, Hair Rejuvenating Cream with 91% natural origin, Hair Rejuvenating Treatment with 96% natural origin and finally Hair Rejuvenating Spray with 96% natural origin. Used in combination with INESSENCE Hair Rejuvenating Spray, the new INESSENCE line removes environmental impurities and protects against UV-rays by mimicking the incredible power of nature. The textured and vibrant fragrance of INESSENCE is composed of a velvety mango petal twist with a honey accord and a hint of ginger, leaving the hair smelling fresh, renewed and recharged. In order to embody the essence of natural ingredients, INESSENCE is encased within turquoise packaging and an elegant leaf decoration. Nature and its incredible power to rejuvenate the elements with pure vigour and vitality is the foundation of SYSTEM PROFESSIONAL’s endeavour to create a highly performing natural product. INESSENCE forges a path whereby nature and science walk hand in hand offering a hair care collection that speaks to ingredient conscious clients who do not want to compromise on performance.

What’s life on board like for a hairstylist on a contract with Steiner? Who can apply, what is your working day like, what will you earn, is there an opportunity to travel? Here are some answers to commonly asked questions. Q: What qualifications do you need to apply? A: You must have your NQF4 in ladies’ and gents’ hairdressing to apply. You don’t have to have passed your Trade Test, and working on board can count towards your hours. Q: How long is a cruise ship contract? A: Your first contract will be eight months in length and you will be on the ship for the whole of this time. Q: If I am accepted, how soon will I be working on board? A: Hairdressers are in high demand on board ship and South African hairdressers are especially sought after as they are known to be skilled, hard workers. If you are accepted you will first complete the intensive 10-day Steiner training at the Cape Town academy, and you could board your first ship just a few weeks later. Q: What does the training include? A: There is a strong focus on blow drying and upstyling to create lasting styles. Product knowledge is a big priority as it helps you retail successfully. Your presentation skills and service skills will be enhanced, and you will be taught a number of additional services that you can offer clients on board, such as teeth whitening, lash extensions, keratin smoothing, and advanced barbering. Q: How much time off do you get a week? A: You have one and a half days off a week. These are usually port days, so there is the opportunity to explore the area and have amazing experiences and adventures in exotic, dream locations. There are also incentives relating to hours off, and you can be rewarded with extra hours if you exceed your very achievable targets. Q: Are the earnings tax-free? A: Yes, according to current South African legislation all earnings from a cruise ship contract are tax-free. Q: Is there an upper age limit to working on board ship? A: No, there is no upper age limit! Hairdressers of all ages who are healthy and have a sense of adventure, may apply and your age group will be considered when you are assigned to a ship to ensure you are placed in an environment where you will thrive. Q: Can you work on board ship if you have tattoos? A: The rules are that tattoos must be covered during your hours of work, so if you can cover them with clothing or make-up there will be no problem. Q: Do you have to be a good retailer to succeed? A: The more enthusiastically you promote your products and services, the more successful you will be. Selling is easy, as top quality products including Kerastase retail products are stocked on board, and it is a tax-free environment so it is cheaper for guests to buy them at sea, than it is on land. Retailing effectively can make a huge difference to your earnings. Q: What is the food like? A: The food is incredible – you get three delicious meals a day which are served buffet-style and best of all, it’s free. Q: What about after hours – are there lots of things to do? A: As a stylist, you have full deck privileges, and can use all the amenities on board, from enjoying the restaurants to seeing the shows. The night life on the ship is amazing. There are nightclubs, discos, Bingo, movies, and more. Does travel, adventure, great money, and new horizons every day sound like your dream job?

Hairnews reader Ericka de la Rey recently wrote to Hairnews to remind all salons to check references of any staff they hire. Even though there is a shortage of good staff in the industry, it is always important to find out if the prospective staff member that you are about to hire, has any track record of behaving unethically with a previous employer or any other problems. It takes only a moment to phone and ask, and it can make all the difference between hiring somebody good, or taking on the wrong person for your salon. You might also enjoy...
