What do your stars foretell for May? Astrologist Zema reveals. For a full personalised reading, contact her on 083 430 1456. TAURUS 20 APRIL – 20 MAY Taurus! You’re doing well! It’s taken some time for you to find the right path, but you’re getting there. You have more people supporting you than you think, which does NOT mean you are The Prince/Princess quite yet, so don’t throw your weight around and annoy people left and right, just stay nice … you can do this and be successful beyond what you expected. Even romance looks good, but don’t get distracted. Concentrate. GEMINI 21 MAY - 20 JUNE If you have a business idea, you could do very well, but don’t rush it - think first, and think carefully. Also, if you consider bringing someone in to help you, support you or become a business partner, be careful how you choose. There will be more people actually supporting you than you think. This is good news, Gem! Being better off with money could also attract The One you have been waiting for. What more could you ask for?? CANCER 21 JUNE - 21 JULY You’re doing alright, Canc. Still being a bit impatient, waiting for wonderful things to happen, but actually they’re happening quietly in the background. These things take time, something a Cancer almost NEVER understands. You need to concentrate on something really important right now, which is love life – it’s looking better and better … wow! A new job offer could also take you by surprise, but think carefully first. LEO 22 JULY - 22 AUG You appear to have somebody very special in mind, which is just fine, except that you have to learn to have some Patience. Learn to spell this word, Leo. He/ She will come to you at the right time, but if you push too hard, this person will turn and run. Got this? Be the nice, caring side of you for a change and don’t lose hope or patience. We’re all waiting! You come up with so many ideas for making money, put them into action! VIRGO 23 AUG – 22 SEP Virgo has the most amazing patience when he/she feels like it. So feel like it now. Although you think you are best at everything, you would be amazed at how best your partner can be. You will be discussing a money plan and it could work extremely well as long as you keep your temper. It could also bring that Something that you have been waiting for, for so long. So Virgo! Start now and walk away from the famous temper!! LIBRA 23 SEPT – OCT 22 Right Libra! Walk Away From Shops!! Get the message? Look after the money you have and start making plans for what you really want. It could take a while longer than you imagined, but - tough luck! It depends on how much you really want it. Your partner will support you in this - the trick is not to lose your temper and try and rob him/ her in frustration. Whatever it is you get will be something you’ve wanted for a long time. SCORPIO 23 OCT – 21 NOV You seem to wake up one morning with a very good idea for improving life in general and you can hardly believe that it has taken so long for you to get to this point. Now is the time to talk to people who can help you along the path because once you get started you will never stop. The Year of Improvement has arrived! This applies to almost everything at the present time, but try and think (?) before you get too carried away. Please. SAGITTARIUS 22 NOV – 21 DEC If you think you’ve met The Prince/ Princess, slow down. All may not be as it seems. This does not mean he/she is a murderer etc., but it could mean that you are seeing the world through sparkling glasses. In other words - slow down. You might just end up scaring this person away, something you will always blame yourself for. (There is True Love coming, you’ve just got to allow it to come to you.) Stop chasing! CAPRICORN 21 DEC – JAN 20 You’ve got a very good business idea, and believe it or not, you’re usually good at this as you have an incredible eye for detail. So - make lists, think hard, and get on with it. You could do a whole lot better than you ever imagined. Just don’t make too many loans and get yourself half-buried in debt. There appear to be several friends who care about you a lot (why?) and right now you appear to be neglecting them. Don’t! AQUARIUS 20 JAN – 18 FEB Take it a bit slower with money if you want to keep on the right side of your partner who worries about your generosity to people. Aquas always see both sides of the story once their attention is grabbed and tend to get carried away. Calm down and pay attention to your partner who could do with a special outing to make him/her feel special. Just stay wide awake to someone “sad” who tries to wiggle money out of you. Be on guard. PISCES 19 FEB – 20 MARCH You could do a whole lot better with money, but you’re not thinking hard enough, Pisky. Somewhere along the line you are missing something and it is stressing you and you’re putting enough stress on your partner to flatten him/her with a breath … sometimes you’ve got to listen to other people who actually do know more than you - Surprise! Surprise! - there are such people … Take a breath and use the famous Pisces brain … ARIES 21 MARCH – 19 APRIL Made that money you’ve been waiting for yet Aries? Get on with it. You’re a smooth talker which is a priceless gift, and you grab every opportunity to make good with people. So now is the time to come up with that idea you’ve been muffling around in the back of your mind for far too long. Make lists, take action. A long walk or two could also go a long way to clearing your mind. People actually listen to you! You might also enjoy...

Jean Witte of Synergy Hair Intercoiffure and Cizelle van Putten of Cizelle’s Hair Studio, explain why they love their Dyson Supersonic Professional dryers. Jean Witte: Past Intercoiffure President and Owner of Synergy Hair, Cape Town Q: How long have you owned your Dyson Supersonic Professional and why did you choose it? A: Since November 2018. I chose it for its shape, light weight, and quiet sound. Q: What are the biggest differences between the Dyson and other hairdryers you have used? A: The Dyson is more powerful, its drying speed is faster, it is lighter in weight and I love the magnetic snap-on, snap-off nozzles. Q: What do you personally love the most about it? A: The diffuser is the bomb! And I love that I am able to get through a blowdry quicker. Q: What do clients think of the dryer? A: It is always of interest and a talking point due to its incredible looks. They also love the fact it has a softer sound. Q: What are your top tips for maintaining the dryer? A: Keep it in a secure place, and keep the filter clean. Q: Do you think it is good value for money? A: Most definitely yes, if you use it all day every day in the salon you will get immense value out of it! Cizelle van Putten: Owner, Cizelle’s Hair Studio, Nelspruit Q: How long have you owned your Dyson Supersonic Professional and why did you choose it? A: I have owned it for nearly two years, and chose it because of my shoulder and neck problems (T4 syndrome). The Dyson is lightweight and does not put any weight on my problem areas, and has helped me improve my posture. Q: What are the biggest differences between the Dyson and other hairdryers you have used? A: The biggest difference is that it’s super fast when drying, lightweight, and does not damage the hair with heat as it regulates the temperature 20 times per second. It’s crazy but true... and I can hear what my clients are saying during the blowdry! Q: What are the biggest advantages for you when using it? The speed, the shine, and the body that it creates in the hair. You get straightness, but with bounce. And it saves loads of time. Q: What do you love most about your Dyson? A: I love the unique look of it with the hole inside, and the fact that the technology is so much more advanced than any other hairdryer on the market at the moment. Q: What do clients think of the dryer? A: Clients love it and it is special for them, they all know Dyson is a top brand and love to see that my salon is staying on top of technology. Q: What are your top tips for maintaining the dryer? A: Keep the filter clean at all times. It’s so easy to clean and only takes a few seconds. Q: Do you think it is good value for money? A: The biggest advantage for me personally is that I don’t have pain in my neck and back... money can’t buy that! And it’s a time saver... time is money for hairstylists, even though I personally don’t overbook myself and always spend the time with each client they deserve. I would definitely recommend it for any stylist even though it is not a cheap hairdryer... I’m a big fan of my Dyson!

What’s it like working on board a cruise liner? Steiner recruitment manager Daniella Diem talks about her own experience as a cruise ship hairdresser, and some interesting details of life on board. Q: What did you expect when you signed up for a cruise ship contract? A: I didn’t know what to expect! It was a spur of the moment decision so I had no idea what it would be like. Q: And looking back, how did you find the experience? A: It was incredible. I grew so much as a person, learned to run my own business within a business (so important for hairdressers), and made lifelong friends – people you meet on board ship understand you really well as you are in the same environment. Professionally, I learned so many tips and techniques from hairdressers from other countries, and was able to share mine in return. Q: What did you enjoy the most? A: My view from where I worked, it was the most incredible view to enjoy while I cut and blowdried my clients – a beautiful ocean vista that was always changing. I also loved that every week, you had a brand new fresh start with a new intake of clients. So even if you had one quieter week, the next one would bring a whole lot of new opportunities. Q: What are the most important personal skills you need? A: Your personality is important, getting on well with other people is essential, and of course being a hard worker will make all the difference to your success. Q: What about after hours – were there lots of activities and things to do? A: There was so much to do on the ship – from nightclubs to discos, from Bingo to movies, and of course the captain’s formal nights. The only time I was in my cabin, was when I was actually asleep! Q: A question most hairdressers will definitely want to know... what’s the food like? A: The food is amazing! Every ship is different, but the meals are buffet style and delicious, you can’t wait to see what is served up every day, and best of all it’s free! Q: What are your career options after completing a contract? A: Once you have worked for Steiner, you can literally work in any salon around the world, and will be sought-after by employers; completing a cruise ship contract is your passport to your dream job and a huge asset to your CV. The majority of hairstylists end up doing more than one contract on board ship and after you have done three or more, you can also apply to work at Steiner head office, move into recruitment, or else progress to managing an onboard salon or spa. Does travel, adventure, great money, and new horizons every day sound like your dream job? To apply to work on board ship, sign up using the online form HERE. A recruitment consultant will be in touch asap to set up a confidential interview. You might also enjoy...
