Change can be stressful but it is necessary for progress to occur. Few industries change as often and as rapidly as the fashion and beauty industry and we, as stylists, need to be ahead of the curve to be successful in the game. The difference between a good stylist and a great stylist is knowing what clients want before they know that they want it! Being prepared for change means having the tools and products to deliver on expectations before trends hit. We know, for example, that colour clients in particular are more ingredient-conscious than ever before. They are deeply vested in their wellbeing and in making pure, mindful choices. Added to this, they also want to be assured of quality results. Wella Professionals Koleston Perfect ME+ launched well ahead of the current wellness trend, giving stylists a competitive edge in the colour market. Stylists who have benefitted most from KPME+ are those who have learned all there is to know about using the product effectively and optimally. They were prepared for change. Nothing less than pure, even colour from root to tip KPME+ is Wella’s purest colour ever and the perfect solution for ingredient-conscious clients. ME+, with superior colour technology, is the onlyoxidative permanent hair dye molecule to replace PTD and PPD, compounds that can produce skin irritations or allergies.** In addition to delivering perfect colour results every time*, every single hair strand, from root to tip, is less damaged than ever before. Radical changes in formulation mean that you and your clients are protected against harmful chemicals making KPME+ the best possible lifestyle and wellbeing choice. With KPME+, the only surprises are positive surprises from your delighted clients! *Using NEW Welloxon Perfect and strictly adhering to usage instructions. Use NEW Welloxon Perfect with KPME+ for perfect colour results. Results are guaranteed if instructions are strictly adhered to. Looking after existing clients We sometimes get so caught up in growing a salon business that we put most of our efforts into finding new clients. But what about our existing clients who are already investing in our services? KPME+ Add-On Services encourage clients to fill chairs more often by returning to the salon in between visits. These visits help to maintain long-lasting colour by restoring back that “heavenly hair feeling” experienced immediately after a full colour service. Pure Balance Services (Pure Soft Balance, Pure Intense Balance and Pure Rebuilt Balance) are perfect services for colour refreshing of mid-lengths and ends and are suitable for any colour fade or hair type. Pure Glossing Service is ideal for blondes. • For soft blonde with sandy hues, use shades with natural warmth such as 9/38, 10/03 and 10/38 • For muted blonde with a vintage filter, use cool gloss shades to shift conventional red or brunette. Recommended shades are 7/17 and 9/97. Pure Glossing Service for in between colour services restores that “heavenky hair feeling”. To reiterate, positive change is only possible if you are prepared for it. Be prepared by learning all there is to know about the products you use in your salon. For more information about our colour products, services, workshops and seminars, please email Elizma Crous, National Education Manager at Elizma.C@modern hairbeauty.com An allergy test should be implemented as a standard service 48 hours before any new colour application. ** ME+ technology has been specifically designed to replace the PTD molecule linked to allergic reactions to hair colour. It not only allows even colouring, but also significantly reduces the development of new allergies for people not allergic to hair colourants.Although the risk of developing new allergy is reduced, there remains a risk of allergic reaction that can be severe andstylists are urged to implement a patch test as a standard service before any new colour application.Strictly follow safety instructions and consult www.wella.com. ME+is present in specific Koleston Perfect shades of Pure Naturals, Rich Naturals, Vibrant Reds, Special Blonde and Deep Browns.

On Friday 13 September 2019 The Employers Organisation for Hair, Cosmetology and Beauty (EOHCB) and UASA – The Union (Hereafter referred to as the Parties) concluded their negotiations. The agreement will be effective from 1 September 2019 and applied to the members’ and effective to non-parties from the date of publication of the main agreement by the Minister of Labour.  The Parties confirm that the National Minimum Wage Act signed by the President and effective 1 January 2019 are adhered to by the industry. The Parties agreed that with effect from 1 September 2019 the prescribed minimum salaries/wages per job category as contained in the relevant schedules of the main agreement be increased with 7% in all areas excluding the Free State Province, Kimberley, North West, Border/East London and Eastern Cape where it will be increased by 6%. The Parties agreed that, a once off ex-gratia payment equal to 5.5% of the current prescribed minimum salaries/wages applicable to the job designation of employee shall be paid either the end of September 2019 or alternatively, in three equal instalments at the end of September, October and November 2019. Employees who received an increase of more than 5.5% in January 2019 due to the implementation of the National Minimum Wage or employees that are paid an actual wage of equal to or more than the prescribed minimum wage plus 5.5%, will not receive any further increase and or ex-gratia payment. Employees that received an increase that was less than 5.5% calculated on the prescribed minimum wage, shall receive an additional increase equal to the percentage difference between the increase received and 7% in all areas excluding the Free State Province, Kimberley, North West, Border/East London and Eastern Cape where it shall be calculated and paid on the difference between the increase received and 6%. The parties agreed that all learners and students registered with the council shall be exempted from contributing to the pension fund and Council fees. Should the learner or student towards the end of their training start generating income on the floor, they have to contribute as full time employees. This exemption shall not apply to any of the other trainee categories in the main agreement. Due to the September 2019 returns already issued, the suggestion would be the following to assist with time-lines: That the deductions for September will be based on the 2018 salary as per the returns that went out. You would just have to increase the salaries to include the either 6% or 7% depending on the area and pay over to Council as per the September 2019 returns that went out. The amendments as per the negotiations will then be concluded by the Council before the October 2019 billing run. It is also important to note that the ex gratia 5.5% is based on the 2018 salaries as a once off. For more information please visit the Bargaining Council website where all the contact numbers for the various regions are listed, if you need to get in touch. www.hcsbc.co.za You might also enjoy...
