Goldwell proudly unveils the relaunch of its brand with the Goldwell Glow Up , marking a bold new era for the professional hairdressing industry. More than a rebrand, the Glow Up is a recommitment: to stylists, to salons and to the future of color.   When Hans Erich Dotter started Goldwell in 1948, his vision was to create a company focused on the professional hairdressing industry, and to rebuild a feeling of beauty in the people around him. For over 75 years, Goldwell has stood as a trusted salon-first partner, renowned for professional color expertise and relentless innovation. Now, Goldwell launches its new brand campaign, ‘Color the Future’ – bringing together the new brand purpose.   COLOR COLAB: CO-CREATING WITH STYLISTS With the launch of Color CoLAB, Goldwell introduces a framework in which creativity and collaboration drive innovation. Stylists are invited to test, refine and shape everything from new services to campaigns and education in partnership with the brand. The result: products and ideas developed not just for stylists, but with them — living proof of Goldwell’s People Powered Color philosophy.   COLOR OF THE YEAR 2026: BELLINI The first expression of this Color CoLAB is Goldwell’s Color of the Year 2026: Bellini. Developed in collaboration with international colorists Salome De Wet, Zachary Norman, Peter Wu and Neil Barton, Bellini embodies optimism and artistry in a luminous, head-turning shade created from Goldwell’s existing color palette. It represents the brand’s vision of color as a force for creativity, connection, and transformation.   “Goldwell has always been a brand built for stylists and with the Glow Up, we’re going further, by putting their voices, talent, and development at the very center of the brand’s future direction,” said Christian Melcher, Global Chief Marketing Officer Kao Salon Division. “Our intention is for the new and modernized Goldwell to be the most collaborative, most relatable and highest performing color brand on the market”, he added.   As part of the new direction, Goldwell’s brand identity has been updated to reflect the new vision.   This includes: An evolution of the brand logotype – built on the heritage of the original and reimagined in a bolder more sophisticated design with a distinct rounded square shape   New look and feel to the visuals and brand campaigns, reflecting the renewed commitment to salons and stylists and a global community built on collaboration   About Goldwell Goldwell is a professional color-focused brand of Kao Salon Division. Its hair products are dedicated to bringing stylists’ and their clients’ aspirations to life. Since 1948, Goldwell has been known for breakthrough innovations with well-known sub-brands such as: leading professional color products Topchic, Colorance and Elumen; high-performing care and styling products Dualsenses and StyleSign, as well as perm and texture products. Goldwell collaborates closely with its global community of stylists on color curation, creativity and product innovation. The Goldwell Future Fund, an investment in education for the next generation of colorists worldwide, demonstrates the brand’s commitment to the future of color and the hairdressing industry.

LESSOAN Thermoplastia – Product & Application Tips for your Salon Team   At LESSOAN, we believe that excellence lies in both innovation and precision. Our Thermoplastia Brazilian Treatment  has been designed to deliver long-lasting smoothness, shine, and tone-perfect results through advanced violet pigment technology, shorter processing times, and a simplified application process that saves both time and effort.   Step by Step Guide for Exquisite Hair In this edition, we share step-by-step application tips to help you and your team achieve flawless results with every service. These guidelines are crafted to support your technical expertise, ensuring that each client leaves the salon with hair that is beautifully smooth, brilliantly toned, and a true reflection of professional care.  ✨  LESSOAN Thermoplastia is more than a treatment — it’s a smarter, faster, and more profitable way to elevate your salon services. Step 01 – Divide Hair into 4 Sections Create  clean, even quadrants  to ensure precise application. Use clips to secure each section, keeping hair manageable and organised. This division allows for  strand-by-strand control  and prevents uneven coverage.   Step 02 – Apply Strand by Strand Start at the roots and  pull product evenly along the entire length . Work with  fine sections  to guarantee saturation and consistency. Avoid overloading product — a  thin, even layer  ensures better absorption and smoother results.   Step 03 – Processing Time (30–60 minutes) Adjust timing based on  hair density, porosity, and condition . Fine or porous hair → closer to  30 minutes . Thick, resistant hair → up to  60 minutes . Always rely on  technical analysis  to customise the process for each client.   Step 04 – Rinse Excess Product Only Do not fully wash out the treatment — simply  remove excess residue . Leaving a controlled amount of product ensures  active ingredients remain  to deliver lasting results.   Step 05 – Dry & Brush Completely Blow-dry hair until  100% dry . Use a round brush for  smooth tension and alignment . Proper drying is essential before sealing with the flat iron.   Step 06 – Flat Iron Sealing (180–230°C) Adjust temperature based on  hair type and condition : o   Fine/fragile hair → 180–190°C. o   Normal hair → 200–210°C. o   Thick/resistant hair → 220–230°C. Work in  thin sections  to ensure every strand is sealed. Pass the iron  6–10 times per section  depending on hair resistance. The goal is to  lock in smoothness and shine  without overexposure.   Step 07 – No Need to Wash Again Once sealed, the treatment is complete. Clients can enjoy  immediate smoothness and shine  without waiting. Recommend  LESSOAN home care products  to maintain results and protect tone.   Professional Tips for Stylists Consultation is key : Analyse hair type, colour history, and condition before application. Highlight violet pigment technology : Explain to blonde or highlighted clients how LESSOAN prevents yellowing during treatment. Retail synergy : Always recommend SESSOAN home care (shampoo, conditioner, leave-in) to extend salon results and boost profitability. Efficiency advantage : No pre-wash + shorter processing = more clients served per day.   LESSOAN Thermoplastia is designed to deliver flawless smoothing, tone-perfect results, and higher profitability for South African salons   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

The brand new ammonia-free oil-based acidic hair colour that gives hair rich colour tones a treatment for hair full of colour and shine that gives hair a healthy appearance and natural-looking colour tones, for perfect hair colour. Milk_shake® The Gloss Colour it’s not just colour, it’s a treatment that nourishes and conditions the hair with its naturally- derived ingredients, making hair more and more beautiful with each application, for perfect hair colour and healthy, glossy hair.   tones without modifying the natural hair colour improves the condition of damaged hair boosts colour-treated hair and lightened hair, giving the desired colour tone result hides greys up to 50% lasts 15-20 washes   Milk_shake® The Gloss Colour Is different to a traditional ammonia-free semi-permanent colour because its acidic pH guarantees a shiny and long-lasting final effect on the hair. This makes it suitable for damaged hair too, because it visibly improves its structure after each application.   Our choice of specific ingredients for milk_shake® the gloss colour: hyper-fermented prickly pear extract rich in concentrated antioxidants obtained from fruits of Italian origin. The green cutting-edge technology of hyper-fermentation applied to the prickly pear results in an enhanced phyto-complex. This makes it as natural as possible as well as safe, but also sustainable, because we recover parts of the fruit that would otherwise be lost. amino acid complex an exclusive plant amino acid complex   derived from wheat and soy, which restores the natural components of keratin in the hair,for strong, shiny and soft hair. organic blueberry extract nourishes scalp and hair, supplying phytonutrients with precious protective, toning and emollient properties, for shiny, healthy hair. sunflower seed oil wraps the hair like a veil, strengthening the cuticle and restoring shine in dry and damaged hair.   milk_shake® the gloss colour   is a product suitable for those who want to approach the world of colouring; those with natural, untreated hair that do not want to change its colour, but only give it extreme shine and conditioning; those with colour-treated hair that want to keep an intense colour tone; those who lighten their hair and need to correct or enhance a colour tone.   The synergy with other products from the milk_shake®  line allows the gloss colour to create new services that give shine and enhance all hair types.   Give your clients exactly the service they want: colour gloss to tone, modify or intensify the colour tones of colour-treated or lightened hair. hd shine enhances natural, untreated hair or colour-treated hair, giving intense shine without adding colour. gloss and colour the synergy with milk_shake® smoothies gives grey coverage for a complete colour treatment that’s also ammonia-free. hd colour for intense & customised hair colour.   FAQ What Can Milk_shake® the gloss Do for My Clients & Salon?   1. What is an acidic hair colouring treatment? Its colour that has a combination of chemical elements that, once mixed with the specific activator (developer), transforms the blend, making it acidic (pH 6.7) which then gives colour tones to the hair without modifying the hair’s structure.   2. How is it positioned within the spectrum of colour ranges? Due to its colouring strength, milk_shake® the gloss colour is positioned between milk_shake® direct colour and milk_shake® smoothies semi-permanent colour.   3. Does milk_shake® the gloss colour lighten the hair’s natural colour? No! The fact that its pH is lower than 7 and the developer works at low volumes means the hair’s natural colour is not modified.   4. Does milk_shake® the gloss colour give grey coverage? We can’t say it gives grey coverage. By using the same level or choosing darker levels according to the hair’s natural colour, it can mask greys up to 50%.   5. What should milk_shake® the gloss colour be mixed with? Its specific activator is called milk_shake ® the gloss acidic colour activator 6 vol. and its formula ensures the colour remains under pH 7 (6.7), thus making it acidic.   6. Can I mix milk_shake® the gloss colour with other z.one concept™ activators? No. If mixed with other formulas, the pH stability cannot be guaranteed and so the colour could be alkaline, thus losing the benefits of an oxidised acidic colour.   7. What is the mixing ratio? The mixing ratio is standard. The mixing ratio is 1:1 therefore 60 g of colour must be mixed with 60 g of its specific activator.   8. Is it difficult to mix? Absolutely not. Its texture is an oil which, after having been mixed with the activator, becomes a gel, so it’s quick and easy to apply.   9. If it’s an oil, does it drip during the processing time? If the mixing ratio is respected and the product is mixed well, there are no problems at all during the processing time.   10. Is the processing time standard or does it change according to the objective? The processing time is 20 minutes and is always recommended for all colour toning services. Only if the hair is very porous or weak, if cool tones are used, then the processing time should be reduced to 15 minutes.   11. Can I use a heat source? A heat source is not recommended. The processing times are quite short and seeing that its use is mainly targeted at damaged or weak hair, the heat source could intensify the result too much.   12. What are the main prerogatives of this colour? This type of colour with its ingredients of natural origin and especially the hyper-fermented prickly pear extract, as well as its pH, improves the hair’s structure with each application, increasing the duration of the colour tones compared to a more traditional colour service. For these reasons, milk_shake ® the gloss colour is defined as being a colouring TREATMENT.   13. How many shades are in the colour chart? The milk_shake ® the gloss colour chart has 29 pigmented shades + 1 neutral colourless shade,  which can be mixed with the other shades to create lighter or shinier colours. This special colourless shade creates a shine & conditioning service for those clients who don’t want to change their hair colour.   14. How many milk_shake® the gloss colour services are there? Due to the synergy with other colours and products within the milk_shake ® range, the salon professional can increase their services offered, with some very interesting offers. The services are GLOSS COLOUR – HD SHINE - GLOSS AND COLOUR – HD GLOSS COLOUR.   15. When should you recommend the gloss colour? The GLOSS COLOUR is a colouring treatment that gives colour tones, improves, changes or intensifies colour-treated or lightened hair. (see technical manual for mixing ratios).   16. When is the HD SHINE service recommended? To give shine to untreated or colour-treated hair without changing the hair’s colour. The synergy between milk_shake ® the gloss colour + milk_shake ® integrity hair reconstruction step B fibre sealant improves the condition and structure of the hair. (see technical manual for mixing ratios).   17. When is the GLOSS AND COLOUR service recommended? This service is a combination of two ammonia-free colour treatments and is suitable for untreated hair at the base (regrowth) with a percentage of greys and colour-treated lengths that require colour toning. (see technical manual for mixing ratios).   18. Should the GLOSS AND COLOUR service only include smoothies or can I combine with creative colour as well? Our z.one concept™ METHOD requires the best milk_shake ® colour according to the function and objective of the colour, lightening, and grey coverage in the regrowth area. On lengths and ends, which are generally more damaged and porous, if the objective is to tone the hair and to treat the structure to get the best result it is best or preferable to apply milk_shake ® the gloss colour.   19. When is the HD GLOSS COLOUR service recommended? The combination of milk_shake ® the gloss colour + milk_shake ® illuminate pure pigments, creates HD colour tones with incredible results in terms of colour toning and the duration of colour tones. This combination means that the colour chart has 30 shades, and 18 more mix combinations that create colours that aren’t already in the colour chart.   20. Will this colour replace milk_shake® smoothies? Absolutely not. They are two completely different technologies that guarantee different results. The two colours complement one another and this is shown in the GLOSS and COLOUR service, that has a stronger action in the natural untreated area of the hair that requires more intense colour, and with a more delicate action on lengths, where hair is more damaged. This synergy satisfies the demands of clients who need a good hair colour but need it to be ammonia-free.   21. Why should I add milk_shake® the gloss colour to my salon portfolio? There are many reasons why this is an excellent addition to the salon! It’s suitable for damaged hair that requires improvement with a technical treatment It’s good for clients who want delicate colour without radically changing their hair It’s good for colour toning lightened hair with a colouring treatment that lasts longer than other treatments It gives shine without changing hair colour Good for clients who want delicate ammonia-free hair colour Excellent for salons who want to give a very customised colour service to clients Contact milk_shake® on: Email : marku@z-one.co.za  or georg@z-one.co.za www.z-oneconcept.com/en   | Facebook   | Twitter   | Instagram

After weeks of sunshine, beach days, pool dips and heat styling, the reality sets in once the festive break is over. Clients return to the salon with hair that feels dry, looks dull and refuses to behave the way it did before summer. It’s a familiar pattern and one of the most valuable opportunities on the salon calendar.   South African summers are tough on hair. UV exposure fades colour, salt and chlorine strip moisture, and relaxed holiday routines often mean more heat styling and less consistent care. The result is rough texture, weakened elasticity and a visible loss of shine across every hair type.   At this point in the year, it’s not just about correcting damage. It’s the ideal moment to reset habits and guide clients toward healthier hair for the months ahead.   “Recovery services create one of the strongest trading opportunities, especially at this time of the year. Clients are looking for change and hair rituals offer high value and repeat bookings for salons.” Julie Rimmer, Keune Education Manager   As routines settle and clients shift back into everyday life, they’re more open to guidance, structure and realistic routines that deliver results. This is where professional consultation becomes especially powerful. A post-holiday recovery ritual helps clients feel supported and positions the salon as a trusted partner in their wellbeing.   The Keune Hair Reset Ritual  is designed as a complete recovery experience to detoxify, repair and hydrate hair. It’s practical, results-driven and indulgent enough to feel like a genuine reset.   Step by Step Step 1: Detox & Balance The first priority is removing everything summer leaves behind. Perfect Clarity Clarifying Shampoo  gently dissolves chlorine, sunscreen residue, salt build-up and excess oils without stripping the hair. It’s an ideal starting point for clients returning from beach or pool holidays. For congested or flaky scalps, the Perfect Clarity Exfoliating Treatment  adds an extra layer of detox.     Step 2: Repair What Summer Broke Sun exposure and heat don’t just dry hair out, they weaken it internally. The salon-exclusive Bond Fusion Pro Service  rebuilds broken bonds and restores strength and elasticity in two simple phases. It’s particularly effective for clients experiencing UV damage, chemical stress or post-summer fragility. Pairing it with Vital Nutrition Protein Spray or the Velvet Smooth Mask helps restore softness, control and resilience.     Step 3: Hydration That Lasts Once the structure is repaired, the focus shifts to moisture. Vital Nutrition Spa Cream Bath  delivers deep hydration and silkiness in minutes, especially when paired with gentle heat or steam. For very dry, sun-depleted hair, the Radiant Gloss Mask or llume Infusion  brings back luminosity without weighing the hair down.     Step 4: Seal & Protect The final step is protecting hair. Anti-Fade Colour Protection Leave-In Spray shields against UV exposure, dryness and everyday environmental stress while keeping hair smooth and manageable. Styling finishes such as Luminous Coat , Velvet Smooth Silkening Polish  or Leave-In Curl Cream  seal the cuticle, enhance texture and maintain radiance.     To place an order or to learn more about Keune, please contact your mhb sales consultant. If you are a new client, please call mhb Telesales on 0860 104 109 and a sales consultant will be in touch.   FOLLOW KEUNE Instagram Facebook Website     mhb Facebook Instagram Website

The beauty industry thrives on creativity, personal connections, and high-energy environments. However, behind the glamour, many professionals face chronic stress, emotional fatigue, and unrealistic expectations—factors that, if ignored, lead to burnout. While discussions around burnout prevention have been explored, an overlooked priority is staff wellness as a long-term strategy rather than a reactive fix. Salon/Spa owners and managers must move beyond recognising burnout and actively implement wellness-focused solutions that safeguard mental, physical, and emotional well-being. Why Staff Wellness Matters More Than Burnout Prevention Historically, the conversation around workplace burnout has centred on spotting warning signs and reacting to stress-related symptoms. However, research now suggests that proactive staff wellness programmes not only reduce burnout but enhance productivity, retention rates, and overall job satisfaction. Unlike basic burnout interventions, a staff wellness culture prioritises sustainable habits, workplace harmony, and emotional resilience. The Unique Challenges Beauty Professionals Face The beauty industry presents distinct wellness challenges compared to corporate office settings: Physical exhaustion  – Long hours standing, repetitive motions, and strain from styling techniques. Emotional labour  – Listening to personal client stories, absorbing stress, and maintaining high-energy service. Demanding schedules  – Late shifts, fluctuating incomes, and client expectations. Workplace conflicts  – Interpersonal tensions, toxic work environments, and team culture struggles. The Link Between Wellness and Business Success Investing in staff wellness isn't just about ethics—it directly impacts business performance. Studies show that workplaces with mental wellness policies experience: Lower absenteeism —Reduced sick days and unplanned leave. Higher productivity —Employees perform better when stress levels are managed. Improved staff retention —Well-supported employees are less likely to resign. Better customer service —Happy employees create a positive client experience. Case Study: Emotional Resilience in the Salon Industry A LinkedIn study highlights the growing emotional burden placed on hairstylists, who often act as unofficial therapists for their clients. Without proper emotional wellness support, these professionals experience compassion fatigue, leading to exhaustion and disengagement. The study suggests setting emotional boundaries and implementing mental wellness programmes to create a healthier work culture. Strategies for Creating a Workplace Focused on Wellness: Implement Holistic Wellness Programmes Instead of reacting to burnout, introduce structured wellness initiatives such as: Mindfulness training  – Stress management workshops to promote emotional resilience. Flexible scheduling  – Custom shift arrangements that reduce exhaustion. Wellness incentives  – Rewards for consistent self-care practices. Train Leaders to Recognise Emotional Wellness Needs Salon/Spa managers should move beyond administrative tasks and focus on employee well-being. Leadership training should include: Emotional intelligence coaching  – Helping managers support staff emotionally. Conflict resolution workshops  – Addressing tensions before they escalate. Mental health awareness  – Understanding stress triggers in the workplace. Encourage Open Dialogue Without Stigma A major obstacle to wellness is that employees fear appearing weak if they admit stress. Creating a safe space for discussion can normalise wellness concerns and reduce workplace stigma. Employers should: Host mental wellness check-ins  – Regular discussions on stress levels. Provide access to counselling resources  – Confidential support services. Encourage peer support systems  – Wellness mentors within the team. Redefine Work-Life Balance with Industry-Specific Adjustments Many corporate wellness models don't fit the beauty industry. Instead, tailor work-life balance strategies to suit salon/spa environments: Reduce last-minute client bookings  – Prevents overworking staff. Prioritise self-care within the workday  – Scheduled rest breaks for employees. Offer wellness retreats or offsite events  – Encourages mental recharge. Moving Beyond Burnout Into a Wellness Culture For years, burnout has been a reactive issue in beauty workplaces. But forward-thinking salons/spas should shift the conversation to ongoing wellness initiatives—before burnout happens. Investing in staff wellness isn't just an ethical decision; it's a strategic business move that enhances productivity, morale, and client satisfaction. By embracing holistic wellness programmes, empowering leaders to prioritise employee well-being, and adjusting workplace policies, beauty businesses can transform their work culture into one where staff thrive—not just survive.
