SA’s Shelene Shaer Educates L’Oreal Pro Educators in Israel Stylists Required for New Salon in Boskruin, Jhb Introducing Fanola Nutri Care: Restructuring for Dry, Frizzy Hair

Shelene Shaer, industry icon and co-owner of Tanaz in Illovo, recently held a “Train the Trainer” educational day for L’Oréal Professionnel educators, while on a trip to Israel. The education included a customised course, developed by Shelene herself, on how to change your own thinking, mindset and attitude to stay ahead of the disruptive forces that are affecting the hairdressing industry worldwide. In addition, Shelene taught the educators a phenomenal foiling technique that creates a gorgeous balayage effect and is ideal for use on darker hair. The Course Shelene Taught “My course addresses the disruption that has occurred over the years in our industry worldwide, advises how salon owners and hairstylists can address this, and how you can increase your turnover and your share of business despite the disrupting factors – these include blowdry bars that are now offering an increased service range, barber shops, and so on,” Shelene explains. “The course includes addressing skills and focuses on the need for hairstylists, as creatives, to make real changes in what they do. You have to consistently keep on producing excellent creative work as client loyalty works differently today. This course contains information, ideas and techniques that I have learned and applied in my own career, and found to be effective. After attending, you will worry less about the disrupting factors at work in the industry and instead will focus more on yourself, your skills, and what is happening in your own business.” Shelene explains that hairstylists need to start the process of change by understanding themselves and being accountable for their own clients. “Hairdressers who focus on accountability are the ones who will not just survive but thrive. Your business is in your mirror! It’s all about attitude.” More on the Foiling Technique “The educators loved the practical balayage-effect technique that I demonstrated, using foils to create this end result. This is particularly effective in countries that have a lot of clients with darker hair, because when doing a normal balayage, a hairstylist can often struggle to get sufficient lift and the correct tone on very dark hair.” Feedback from L'Oréal Professionnel in Israel Dear Shelene, Thank you so much for the effective education you gave our team yesterday. Your time and patience is heartwarming! The feedback from the educators was very positive; they learned new techniques and were very interested in the theoretical part. Your diagnosis process with a consumer was inspiring; we will defiantly take this learning to everyday work. Adi Faragi Education Manager | Professional Products Division L'Oréal Israel The Israel Hairdressing Scene Shelene explains that Israel has a growing population and a huge variety of salons, including a high number of very small salons that are almost just cubicles. The hairdressing scene is well integrated with street culture and street life. As in much of Europe the hair industry is more male dominated. “I feel it’s so important for us to continually interact and network with the global industry. We are all one in today’s world and face so many of the same challenges,” Shelene explains.

Sarah Black, colour expert for Linton & Mac salons, UK, predicts two of the hottest trends that will be in demand this spring-summer season. SHERBET DIP DAB You can thank the hair team at Marc Jacobs’ Spring/Summer ‘19 show for creating what is now set to be summer’s hottest colour trend. Sherbet hair is powdery, yet vibrant frosted pastel shades, reminiscent of the sherbet sweets of childhood, that manages to be both subtle and soft, yet wildly attention-grabbing. It is a grown-up, pastel shade with a veritably vintage feel, and no hint of fairytale. Unless hair is very white to begin with, this light hue requires a pre-bleach to take on that pale but punchy finish that sets it apart from its fairytale pastel predecessors. THE NEW BALAYAGE The balayage technique will remain popular, but will be used with a different focus and purpose. We will move on to and play around with the depth this technique can create – rather than the lightness – and we will use balayage to add depth and movement. The darker elements of the hair will be the focus, adding dimension to the hair, in contrast to the lighter sections. The aim will be to create balance between the tones; just the right amount of light against the perfect amount of dark, and the look will be richer, more polished, and more multi-dimensional than we’ve seen in seasons past.
