In the past few weeks I’ve been asked by a number of stylists about the new KPME+ colour from Wella Professionals. I feel it’s important to educate our industry about the power of pure colour like KOLESTON PERFECT with ME+ and its significance on the future of our colour business. Never have we been able to colour hair in the way we can now. Many clients can be extremely demanding of hairdressers, often insisting on beautiful and even colour from root to tip but without compromise to the condition of their hair. That has not always been possible, especially when the demands have gone beyond what conventional colour products can deliver. The good news is that with KPME+ we can now deliver on clients’ demands! Complete transformations have never been easier. KPME+ colour results can be achieved without compromise in one, even application. New KOLESTON PERFECT technology interacts with hair in one easy step to change a client’s colour completely without fear of unwanted tones shining through and resulting in strange shades. ME+ technology in the new KOLESTON PERFECT has been specifically designed to replace the PTD molecule linked to allergic reactions to hair colour. It’s a brand-new precursor that not only allows even colouring, but also significantly reduces the development of new allergies.1 Although the risk of an allergic reaction is reduced, I always urge stylists to implement a patch test as a standard service before any new colour application. Don’t go into the future with technology from the past. If you want to experience KPME+, ask our educators to visit your salon to perform the PURE BALANCE CHALLENGE. The challenge will allow you to test the colour in your salon and see the positive results for yourself! Please email me Theresa.g@modernhairbeauty.com to set up a PURE BALANCE CHALLENGE. The science of KP with ME+ Pure Balance Technology™ and ME+™ are the result of over 7 years of colour science research and over 3,000 formulations tested. KPME+ has more than 20 patents. Colour that is significantly more even, balanced and true to tone from root to tip offering better balance of tone and control of depth** with up to 100% grey coverage. NEW KOLESTON PERFECT with ME+ features an incomparable colour line-up with naturals, brunettes, reds and blondes and the inclusion of a special mixing range. NEW KOLESTON PERFECT with ME+ requires no habit change for stylists as it features the same mixing ratio, the same development time and the same grey coverage – all enhanced with easier mixing, more precise application and an improved fragrance that offers a better experience for colourists and clients. For colour that stays true to tone and provides significantly less damage colour after colour*, KOLESTON PERFECT with ME+ is leading the way to making colour more reliable. * 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. Always perform an allergy alert test 48h before each colouration. Strictly follow safety instructions and consult www.wella.com If your client has ever experienced an allergic reaction to hair colourants, you should not colour. ME+ is present in specific shades of Pure Naturals, Rich Naturals, Vibrant Reds, Special Blonde and Deep Browns of the Koleston Perfect brand. ** Versus previous Koleston Perfect.

This exquisite transformation was performed by Charles Junior Louw at Hashtag Colour Lounge in Cape Town. Here’s how Charles created this fiery and dramatic colour, and the cut that perfectly sets it off. Photo by photographer SJ van Zyl Colour • The client had DIY colour on her hair, which was a mission to remove because she rubbed in the colour. • So I first bleached all the dark pieces with Wella Blondor bleach + 6% peroxide + Wellaplex to keep the condition amazing.... after I saw a shift in colour I applied the same formula on the rest of the hair..... • Rinsed it all once a level 7 was achieved. • I then used Wella Koleston Perfect 77/43 (40g) + 0/43(4g) + 6% peroxide and left it on for 40 minutes • The foilayage was Wella Colour touch 3/66 + 1.9% developer Cut • The baby fringe was blunt cut short, with the middle the shortest piece. Hair was cut straight, then channel cut and point cut. Note: A precision fringe takes at least 10 minutes to cut properly so you need to focus and put in the time... • The sides of the bob were undercut from the temples to the ears, in a diagonal shape forming a triangle just before the ears. • The back was blunt cut, slightly shorter towards the front for a very subtle “page” look with just 1 cm difference from front to back. • Hair was then dried before cutting the back section with slight layers to give the rounded shape. • The ends were channel cut right around the head and point cut it using a triangular movement. The triangles at the bottom of the hair created the grungy, edgy effect. You might also enjoy...

Here are the hottest winter trends, with awesome care tips for skin, hair and beards! Beard Trends: This winter, a very short look that falls somewhere between stubble and full beard, is hugely popular. Men are also asking for neck and cheek lines to be more faded, to create a more roguish, gritty effect. Perfect Beard Care: Beard Condition: Correct beard care makes all the difference between looking perfectly groomed and looking like a refugee from an Arctic shipwreck! The barber-grade oils from The Bluebeard’s Revenge replace essential oils that winter removes for a sleek, manageable beard – comb it through with a strong beard brush. Hair Trends: Game of Thrones and Vikings have created a market for longer men’s styles, so the loose, shoulder length look is very desirable right now – but it takes a lot of time and effort to maintain this length looking good. Other trends include the messy, outgrown pompadour, or the classic slick back with a modern undercut. Good news is these styles can’t be achieved at home... they require the skills of a hairdresser or barber to create! Haircare: Dandruff is more common during winter due to a drier scalp. Use The Bluebeard’s Revenge Shampoo every other day to allow your hair to maintain the perfect balance. The Bluebeard’s Revenge Conditioner can be used weekly for health and softness. Perfect Style: Especially when those winter winds are blowing, you want a lasting style! The Bluebeard’s Revenge Matt Paste offers perfect flexibility and hold, and The Bluebeard’s Revenge Matt Clay will provide a natural finish. An alternative is The Bluebeard’s Revenge Sea Salt Spray, with a fabulous barbershop fragrance, it provides all day hold.

Business Tips for Salon Owners and Upcoming Business Seminar 80s Inspired Trends from Bad Apple, UK Make Up Eraser: Amazing Retailer for Salons

Every year salons face the same uphill struggle to grow their businesses and this struggle can be attributed mainly to two areas - Identity and Control. Rising costs, demotivated staff, not enough clients, too much month left over at the end of the money – instead of money left over at the end of the month! Sound familiar? If it does it means you do not really have control of your business! Businesses do not fail because there is no demand for hair and beauty services. In fact, these services fall into both the Wellness Industry as well as the Anti-Aging Industry and the latest statistics show Anti-Aging to be worth $303.2 billion dollars globally and Wellness a staggering $4.2 trillion dollars.

Superstars and trendsetters Bernadine Malan and India Choo predict what’s going to be hottest in their salons this winter season. India Choo: DNA Salon, Bedfordview For this winter, I am seeing a lot of velvet hair accessories teamed up with soft, natural looking hair waves. In terms of colour I believe we need to brighten our colours up a bit to contrast with the darker winter clothing colours. So I will be shifting my regular blondes to slightly brighter, icy blondes, or intensifying the reflects in all my colour to create a luminous glow. A big trend is colour blocking techniques which create statements and contrast in even the most calm commercial colours. Bernadine Malan: Beauty on First, Edenvale This winter a big trend is to create more dimension and shine to combat the dry, knotty, static winter hair. An absolute favourite product of mine to help achieve this is Goldwell Pure Pigments. I can drop it into my high lifters, tints and toners to create more luminous shine with better condition and longer lasting colours. The technique behind this effect is to create dimensions using foils, which also contributes towards the docket value of the service. You Might Also Enjoy...
