Next-Level Performance & Engineering This incredible dryer is intelligently engineered to offer maximum benefits and performance – not only to the hairstylists using it, but to the clients whose hair is being dried! With the super-powerful motor in the handle, it means the dryer is: • Extremely light and easy to use • Incredibly comfortable and balanced • Fast and effective • So quiet that you can chat to your clients while blowdrying! Dyson invested £50-million into developing this dryer and in the process, learned everything they could about how hair reacts to heat styling! The small, powerful V9 motor speeds up drying so it takes up to half the time of a conventional dryer – a huge time saving when time means money! Intelligent Heat Control is a game changer – with heat measured up to 20 times per second there is no danger of overheating even when the dryer is close to the head. You will see and feel the difference (and this is why your blow-dry addict clients should also use a Dyson!) Air Multiply Technology allows air sucked into the dryer to be amplified by 3 times for more focused power and precision styling. Magnetic Attachments snap easily on and off for a fast, seamless experience. 2 Year Warranty – parts and labour are covered for complete peace of mind, and Dyson offers free delivery on all purchases. The Dyson Supersonic Professional will transform your salon experience, streamlining one of the most physically demanding tasks in the salon and making it easier, quieter, faster, non-damaging and super-effective. You’ll see the results – and feel them too! What Celeb Stylists say about the Dyson Supersonic Professional, as used in salons around the world and backstage at Fashion Weeks. “I have sped up my time with clients in the salon as well as on set.” – Matthew Collins, celebrity stylist and Dyson Professional ambassador. “The Dyson Supersonic Professional means you can take more clients, actually have a lunch, or get home to that glass of wine faster.” – Jen Atkin, celebrity hairstylist, USA. “What I love about it is the sound... it’s completely changed the atmosphere in my salon! It’s much more calm and relaxing.” – Frederic Birault, celebrity hairstylist, France “When I’m working backstage, number one I need to protect the girls’ hair, and number two I need to get that hair done.

According to Sarah Black, colour expert at Linton & Mac Salons, UK, biscuit blonde is one of the hottest trends for 2019. It’s a beautiful blend of creamy clean tones and warmer golden hues – the key to perfecting the look is finding the right balance between cool and warm. The mixture of shades makes the colour extremely wearable as it flatters both cool and warm tones, and is very brightening to the complexion. “Switch up colour placement depending on the skin tone,” Sarah advises. “Keep the creamy ash shades close to the face for cooler skin, and the reverse for warmer skin. This colour trend can be adapted easily to work on all shades of natural blonde and most shades of brunette.” You might also enjoy...

Q: Is there an age limit to work on board ship? A: No! As long as you are a qualified hairdresser, all ages are welcome to apply and hairdressers of all ages are accepted to work on board! Steiner operates spas on many cruise liners, and will allocate you to a ship where your personality and skills are a good match with the guests on board. Q: How long is a cruise ship contract? A: Your first contract is 8 months long – you’ll be on the ship for the whole of this time, with one and a half days off per week. Q: Do I get a chance to see the world? A: Yes.

Business and the entrepreneurial spirit have existed since time immemorial. The use of beauty and cosmetics products dates back to 4000 BC, which is amazing, considering the fact that the first prototype of banking was only established 2000 years later! The first well-established hairdresser assisting a customer base dates back to Paris in 1658 and evidence of massage therapy has been found in The Tomb of Akmanthor, dating back to 2330 BC. This amazing industry of ours is well established. There will always be a customer demand, and it will still be many, many years before our skills can be replaced by any machine or robot. While our history may be cast in stone, our future still remains a mystery, and pushing ourselves and our team towards a better future, may leave us feeling anxious and uncertain of the direction we need to take. When looking for guidance, simplification and self-motivation, let’s take a look at some of the basic advice given to us by some of the greatest minds and achievers. Compliance “It takes less time to do things right than to explain why you did it wrong” – Henry Woodsworth Longfellow Businesses, especially in South Africa, must meet various compliance steps. From Bargaining council compliance, to Compliance with the National Minimum Wage Act, businesses can be pen to severe amounts of risk, if they are not compliant. Each of the legal structures that govern business compliance possess inspectors, who have the legal right and duty to inspect your business at any given time. Contact your EOHCB rep for guidance on salon and spa compliance, and we will gladly assist in preventing any possible future risk with regards to legal compliance. Delegate “No person will make a great business who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit” – Andrew Carnegie Many new and experienced business owners struggle with delegation, and this massively hinders employee growth and as well as salon growth. Even the greatest individuals in the world worked with a team, or group of individuals to create that which they envisioned. Don’t be afraid to delegate tasks and challenges to your team, give them space, opportunity and tools to succeed, and trust that they will either be successful, or that they will learn. Tolerance “The responsibility of tolerance lies with those who have the wider vision” – Mary Anne Evans One of the first steps taken to assist new managers in their roles, is to assist them in developing their own tolerance level. Tolerance is merely patience with boundaries, and in these circumstances, successful managers will develop clear and well-communicated boundaries. The easiest examples of these are Health and Safety and Lateness, both with levels that you are willing to tolerate, and others that will absolutely not be accepted. Understand that which you will not tolerate within your business-setting, and communicate those boundaries clearly with your team. Consistency “It’s not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives. It’s what we do consistently.” – Tony Robbins Consistency holds two different focuses in this regard. Firstly, apply your productivity and efficiency habits continuously and without fail. Find what works, and do it, and when anything gets in your way fix it, and then get back into the grind. Secondly, ensure that any disciplinary processes are enacted equally and consistently with all of your staff. Lenience with one employee will require you to be lenient with another, depending on the circumstance. Assessment and Feedback “Praise by name, criticize by category” - Warren Buffett It’s near impossible to have a genuinely clear perception of yourself. Each individual measure according to their own knowledge-base, as well as their own preferences. Therefore, it is reasonable for you to communicate your expectations and appreciation to your staff. How we do this is a whole different skill that must be learned. Warren Buffet simplified it perfectly. Positive feedback should be given directly and publicly. Give that team member direct appreciation and validation that what they did, or have done, was according to the needs of the business and the needs of the salon. On the alternative, negative feedback should be handled with care and diplomacy. Buffet suggests that criticism should not be direct, but should be on much more of a blanket approach. For example, instead of tell your apprentice that they made a stupid error, tell them that most apprentices make this error, but then go on further to communicate your requirements, such as, ‘Most apprentices make that mistake, but in this salon, we only make that mistake once.’ Details Matter “If you don’t understand the details of your business you are going to fail” – Jeff Bezos Often times, business owners will want to avoid the unnecessary details. This would be the same as going to your accountant and saying that you’re going to buy a new car, regardless of his or her suggestions. The details of your business are your responsibility. You are not responsible for Kim Kardashian’s suggestions on prison reform, so that information is not necessary. What is necessary is whether your staff are stealing from each other, or whether your clients are asking the receptionist for other client’s personal details. Know the important facts. Use these facts to make better decisions. These better decisions will develop a better future, for yourself and for your staff. Responsibility “Being responsible is an enormous privilege” – Barack Obama Responsibility is the cornerstone of personal development. As you grow, you will gain more responsibility, and this is not a negative thing. Having responsibility means that you are relied upon and that people have placed trust in you. If you are stressed, and concerned, and overwhelmed, and you are not lying in the fetal position shivering on the salon floor, you’re doing perfectly fine and you will get through the good times and the bad. The Employer’s Organisation for Hairdressing, Cosmetology and Beauty assists salons, spas and industry related business owners with labour and legal compliance.

Of all the “home hair disasters” this one has to win a special prize... As reported in the Mail Online, a teenager in the USA who decided to bleach her hair at home, ended up getting a “chemical haircut” courtesy of her melted locks! Here are some pictures of the home horror story as it unfolded.... Josie first realised something was wrong when she felt an intense burning sensation on her scalp after 20 minutes. Removing the shower cap, she was hit with the aroma of burning hair! She jumped into the shower to wash it off... and ended up having half her hair wash off, too! Luckily a friendly salon came to the rescue, and after five hours of hard work, managed to salvage the remainder of Josie’s hair and gave her a beautiful colour and style, restoring health to her brittle, fried hari. Josie has since vowed never to do her hair at home again... let’s hope she means it! Here’s the FULL STORY. You might also enjoy...

This is the first ever salon decor tour after a salon relocated! We filmed @Will Hairdressing in their old premises – but after reaching the end of the rental contract, owner Will Breedt decided the time was right to move to a stunning new location, a private house at 26 Oaktree Avenue, Hazelwood.
