- African Fashion International (AFI) Cape Town Fashion Week 2019 Report Back
The past weekend we experienced it all: the glitz, glam, celebrities and influencers, fashion - and, of course HAIR! AFI, together with Wella Professionals and MAC Cosmetics, showcased some of South Africa’s best established and up-and-coming designers. Day 1 of Fashion Week kicked off with an AFI Masterclass. Here guests were introduced to multiple panels discussing various topics within the fashion industry and on the African continent. Topics included Sustainability, Creativity through Diversity and Preserving African Heritage. Guest speaker Albert Read - Managing Director from Conde Nast in Britain -, also gave his input on fashion, where the industry is heading, and the importance and influence of print media on the industry. Day 2 featured emerging fashion designers and artists in our culturally-rich industry at Xperience AFI (AFI). The event was aimed at emerging millennial talent and market. The inspiring designs from NotGood.Enough and Artclub & Friends were complemented by music from young rappers, bands and DJ’s. The night ended off with a performance from The Voice SA coach and celebrated South African rapper, Riky Rick. The AFI Gala dinner was attended by all the ‘who’s who’ of South Africa and important partners for this year’s AFI Fashion Week.The guests were treated to a delicious dinner at Groot Constantia and fashion shows from Marianne Fassler, David Tlale, Gavin Rajah and Taibo Bacar. This evening was the official opening of the Cape Town Fashion Week! The AFICTFW cocktail opening was followed by three sittings – as the Quiteria & George show had been cancelled by unforeseen events. AFI Privè (SA) and Ruff Tung (SA) opened the night’s activities with their spectacular designs respectively. MaXhosa By Laduma (SA) showed what the brand is capable of in a powerful runway show full of vibrant colours, prints and culture. Doreen Mashika, from Tanzania, was the only international designer for Friday night. The designs were interesting and intricate: mixed prints and materials, feathers, and the looks were completed with sleek low ponytails, styled by Wella Professionals and EIMI. Neville Masondo closed the show with a luxurious, detailed bridal show influenced by African heritage, executed with precision and incredible detail. Day 2 did not disappoint either. AFI Fastrack presented three talented newly-graduated designers’ runway shows. South African fashion icon, Jackie Burger, even took to the stage! Hair was one of the focal points in Aphia Sakyi (Ghana) and Loayo Art’s (Morocco) fashion shows. Not only did their designs reflect their countries and cultures, but the hairstyles chosen for these two shows really stole the show. Other favourite shows (and hair!) were those of Shana and Stefania Morland and Warrick Gautier. From fresh, flirty and youthful looks in Shana Morland and Stefania Morland’s shows – to intense, haute couture looks from Warrick Gautier, this year’s AFICTFW was incredibly executed: hair to toe! A special thank you goes out to the Wella Professionals stylists who gave their time and skill to make sure each designer’s look was perfectly enhanced.

- In Depth Feature: Shopping Malls and Salons – Good, Bad or Ugly?
In today’s economic climate, every salon owner wants the best recipe for success. Twenty years ago, the shopping centre business model was accepted as the go-to, but today things are very different. A huge number of factors have contributed to this shift – social media has allowed salons to connect directly to clients, malls have competition from online stores, and with people being time-poor, and traffic increasing in many areas, our lifestyle is more pressurised than it used to be. Shopping centres, and the attitude of landlords, also play a role and this was reinforced in the recent anonymous survey that Hairnews undertook. The results from the survey are published below – we are grateful to everyone who took part. Separately from the survey, we have also interviewed some leading salons who have made their business model work well for them, and their feedback is below the survey results. Shopping Mall Survey Results Of the respondents, 72 percent are currently in shopping centres, and 28 percent have relocated elsewhere and spoke about their recent experience while in a shopping centre. Relationship with Landlords • 41 percent of respondents said their relationship with landlords was average • 25 percent stated their experience was always positive. • 17 percent said their experience was always negative • 17 percent said their relationship was worsening and becoming more difficult. • No salons reported that their relationship was improving. • Comments included landlords having a take it or leave it attitude, and that landlords don’t understand salon cost structures. One owner with salons in two different centres, had two completely different landlord relationships, one was reasonable, the other totally unsatisfactory with arrogance of unacceptable levels. Shopping Centre Rentals • 26 percent of respondents said that their rental was fair and it was possible to run a sustainable business • 74 percent said the rental was unfair and it was difficult to do business. • Comments included the fact that years ago, rentals were about 12% of turnover, today it is around 18% to 20% of turnover, and that Rentals are definitely too high....the commonly accepted + - 10% of gross turnover have not been the case in many years Locations and Rental Amounts • 56 percent of respondents were located in large shopping malls • 40 percent in smaller malls • 4 percent in retail parks. • 8 percent of respondents paid more than R750 per square metre • 24 percent paid R500 to R750 per square metre • 52 percent paid R250 to R500 per square metre • 8 percent paid R150 to R250 per square metre • 8 percent paid less than R150 per square metre. Rental Negotiation • 36 percent of respondents were unable to negotiate their rental • 36 percent said their ability to negotiate had decreased over time • 16 percent were always able to negotiate • 12 percent reported that their ability to negotiate had improved over time. Opening Hours • 68 percent of respondents were compelled to abide by the mall’s opening hours • 16 percent had a small flexibility in opening hours • 16 percent were able to keep their own opening hours, different from other stores. How busy is the centre? • 76 percent of respondents stated their centre was only busy at certain times or certain days of the week. • 16 percent said their centre was always very busy. • 8 percent said their centre was never very busy Passing Trade • 48 percent of salons said passing trade and walk ins were an important part of their business • 40 percent stated walk ins did not play a big part • 12 percent stating that the majority of their business came from passing trade. • In terms of new clients, the majority were word of mouth or personal referrals, with marketing campaigns also important. Passing trade and salon signage were also important contributors. Social media played an important role but was not the biggest tool for any of the salons who responded. Comments from Leading Salon Owners Terence of Terenzo Hairdressing – in a private property, Jhb I have been seeing for 10 or 15 years now that the shopping mall business model is becoming less viable; this has been confirmed to me by the many interactions I’ve had with other salon owners. 20 years ago you would pay top dollar per square metre in a shopping mall but you got enough passing trade to make it worthwhile. Today, there is less passing trade in many shopping malls. More and more malls are being built, but online shopping competes with the mall business model, and also as big cities densify, clients choose to shop at smaller and more relaxed locations. Many people also have more limited time due to traffic, and a busier lifestyle. Having a “day out” shopping with lunch at a mall and doing your hair is not a popular pastime any more. Most Afro hair clients have retained a confidence and loyalty to specialist Afro salons, and this can impact upon hair salons in areas where the shopping demographics have changed as their salon is no longer appealing to the total shopping demographic but only to a smaller portion of it... yet they are paying the full rental. I believe that the big salons who are rocking the shopping mall setup, have an excellent business model but it is also a case of “the strong survive” as they are the “last man standing” in many big malls, where smaller salons have not succeeded and closed their doors! In five years I believe there will be very few salons left in big malls, if any, as it will be even more challenging. The world is changing and we have to adapt to it. My salons have never been located in a shopping centre, and this was a personal decision rather than a business one, because when I started malls were very popular locations. However I wanted to see the sun, know when it rains, and be more connected with the outside world. I decided if I was spending my life in a salon it must be in a location that was pleasant for me. From a business perspective, owning my own place makes it an additional investment, as opposed to renting space in a centre. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Terry Scott of Terry Scott Hairfashion – in large shopping malls, Durban Shopping malls do work when it comes to walk-in trade , but it comes at a price... the shopping mall rentals are currently way too high for our business model, and are forcing salons to quit the larger malls and find more affordable space. One of the malls where my salons are located, the smallest mall, has the most salons out of all the malls in Durban – 5 salons! This means the slice has gotten smaller, and with most carrying the same retail, it impacts upon our sales. We are a very strong brand which helps, and so does the fact that we bring the centre a lot of business as clients come to have their hair done and then shop. The load shedding has also been a huge problem resulting in loss of profits. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Clinton Valjeaux of Jeauval Hair Salons – in convenience centres in Jhb and Cape Town Location, Location, Location... there are no truer words for a salon! Being located in a shopping centre means convenience, comfortable parking, accessibility. Clients can pick up essentials or get their car washed while they are here, which they love in today’s hectic world. However, we have changed our business model over the years from larger malls, to more convenience-type centres such as Nicolway and Dainfern Square in Johannesburg, and the Sanctuary Centre in Somerset West. These offer easier parking and access with less congestion. The big plus about our locations is that they offer generator power in case of load shedding, and have water tanks. These are vital to our survival! Rental costs are a factor and we have “expired” certain malls as time has gone by, this is often due to a change in LSM as we are a luxury brand that offers our clients the very best experience. Although it is a huge investment, we constantly change and update our salon design to keep a fresh, new look and reinvent ourselves. Jeauval will turn 30 years old this year, and so far our formula is working well for us, however we are always open to change if needs be as nothing is set in stone! • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Will Breedt - @Will Hairdressing in a private property, Pretoria The advantages of being in a private house are firstly, you can determine your own salon hours and have more flexibility with staff movements, where salons in shopping centres are under immense staff pressure to meet the demand due to the long trading hours. Secondly, lower salon rentals for destination salons gives you, the salon owner more scope to structure your prices and annual price increases to suit your own business model - owning the property you operate from is always an investment for the business owner long term and can form part of your retirement portfolio. However there are challenges also! Being a destination salon means that as a business owner, the concept of “Location! location! location!” is so important to establish your salon as the “address” to be at. Also, marketing and social media strategies need to be in place to advertise and build your business continuously. As a result, it might take salons in houses or commercial properties in a residential area longer to build a solid client base and to establish the salon as a elite destination -salons in houses need to guard against being too informal, “homely" and not upholding professional standards. So one of the challenges is to strike a balance between finding your identity as business without being perceived as a “back street salon”. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Gina Capra: Palladium – in a lifestyle centre, Pretoria and Cape Town “We are more of a destination store, and our two salons are located in lifestyle centres rather than big malls, with exclusive stores around us making the environment unique. We have always strived to be more than just a hair salon, and our success lies in how we make people feel – we strive for a theatrical feel that offers a memorable experience! • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Simone Black: Lonehill Hair – in a small shopping mall, Jhb Being established in an area for a long period of time is definitely an advantage for a salon, but not necessarily in a specific mall as the centre management could decide not to renew your lease at any time... it’s important to try and keep a good relationship with mall management! Your skill, reputation and how you treat your client’s is what contributes to your success. Pricing is important as you still have to be affordable for your demographic even though your rentals may be high. Is a shopping centre location essential? Well, passing trade is important for new stylists in a salon more than for the established hairdresser who has built up a good reputation. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Larry le Roux – previous owner of Bijan in a large shopping mall, Jhb As a salon owner for many years I have seen that salons are perceived differently today by landlords. Thirty years ago we were regarded as a service business, and we were charged a lower rent for premises which would sometimes be in a quieter part of the mall. However when retailing became a bigger focus, and we started displaying products at the front of the salon, landlords began to perceive salons differently and started treating us as a retail business rather than a service business. This meant our rental increased accordingly, despite the fact that retail does not play a major role in a salon’s business. You might also enjoy...

- Fanola Introduces Botugen Hair Botox – Reconstruction for Brittle, Damaged Hair
Fanola Introduces Botugen Hair Botox: The only professional program for the reconstruction of brittle, damaged hair that effectively penetrates damaged areas, to repair from the inside. The Botugen system is the first of its kind hair treatment that penetrates into the hair cortex and adds Keratin into the hair as opposed to coating the outside of the hair shaft, it is also FREE of all sulphates and other salts. The name Botugen derives from the main ingredient Botolife. On contact with the water present in hair, the Botolife molecule expands, creating a three dimensional mesh that makes the hair’s fibre thicker and more voluminous, penetrating into problem areas of the cortex and reconstructs damaged hair from the inside, strengthening the cuticle and making it compact and elastic, restructuring and plumping up brittle and damaged hair. In just 4 steps, the hair instantly restores to its natural protein balance, achieving a healthy and more vital lively look that has volume and shine while also reconstructing the damaged areas to your hair cuticles. THE RECONSTRUCTIVE RANGE The difference between a Brazilian or traditional keratin treatments and Botugen? Brazilians and keratin treatments coat the outside layer of the hair whilst the Botugen Botox treatment adds keratin to the inside of the hair thus creating a healing ritual for chemically, mechanically and environmentally damaged hair. Both Brazilians, keratin treatments and Botugen can we be used together as a great treatment plan for your clients. Adds 25minutes extra to a normal blow drying time.

- Deacons Hair Salon, KZN, Shares their Story: Salon Photo Tour
Kyle and Nicky have made their dream a reality! After years of hard work and building their reputation in the Hillcrest and Upper Highway area for 10 years they've done it! Deacons Hair Salon officially opened its doors on the 1st March in the Hillcrest centre on Old Main Rd. Clientele ranges from school kids to a young trendy 20 something, to rocking moms and dads and of course our funky grans and grandpas. The decor is retro vintage with a rockabilly feel, keeping a lot of the furnishings wooden and muted. We went big and bold on the wall colour and wanted a lot of visual because since clients are sometimes in a salon for hours, the visual buffet includes frames of personal pics and some quirky pics just for a bit of a laugh. Introducing a lot of greenery compliments the red wall and adds to the homely atmosphere. Before entering the salon you will see our beautiful "Mary" parked up against the main shop front window. Mary is a 1956 Royal Enfield and has been loaned to us by one of our clients for a bit of eye candy. People ask why have a motorbike in a hair salon? We say because it’s just too damn cool! As you enter the salon there are big comfy leather couches with some fun quirky games and books to keep clients entertained. We believe the comfort of a waiting area should be a place the client wants to simply hang out in, even after their hair service we want our clients to feel it is their home too and they want to stay and just relax. Our open bar area is designed, again, to make our clients feel like they are home, with cold beers, various wines and some beautiful whiskeys. Our cappuccino machine is also set up at the bar area. Our music choice keeps with a bit of 50s swing and some good old Elvis to some classic 70's rock mixed with some soulful blues. Clients and staff dance and tap their feet to the familiar classics. Our back area is under construction and will be occupied by our very own resident tattoo artist hopefully by mid year. Congrats on a stunning salon and story!
