What do your stars foretell for February? Astrologist Zema reveals. For a full personalised reading, contact her on 083 430 1456. PISCES 19 FEB – 20 MARCH A new year, a new beginning, and at last you are using your Brain about what you want to do with the rest of the year. There are several projects you should be tackling, as you well know and the sooner, the better. You’re coming to the point of actually thinking for a change. There are people who will happily support you in whatever you want to do, especially The Loved One. Spiritually and physically you will be better. ARIES 21 MARCH – 19 APRIL Something at the back of your mind keeps trying to get your attention. Now is the time to concentrate strongly and discover what it is. You need to make as much contact with people as possible (as if you don’t usually), but in this case it could bring you great inspiration. You have a gift that you have neglected slightly, so it’s time to get ON with it, Aries!! Your love life could be better too, so make the effort real soon. Like now. TAURUS 20 APRIL – 20 MAY This year is a true New Beginning for you, romantically and financially. Someone may make you an offer of interesting work that you can do as well as the job you have. Because you are so headstrong, you are not likely to fail, as long as you keep your temper. This is money, Taurus! Your favourite way of doing things is to never give up, so apply it here too. Love life just seems to get better and better. How’s that for news?? GEMINI 21 MAY - 20 JUNE This is the time when you come up with ideas, not just for yourself, but for others as well. However, please think carefully before you tackle too much at the same time and get yourself into a muddle. Make lists and KEEP to them. Get help from someone who can think really clearly so you don’t make mistakes. Romance looks good, but you need to take things a bit slower if you want this to last. Hide sharp instruments … CANCER 21 JUNE - 21 JULY Surprise, surprise! Love life looks the best it ever has. All you need to do now is to make plans for this year to solve all nagging little problems that have been irritating you for so long. This does NOT mean violence of any description - it would have the opposite effect, get it? A new work situation may arise, but give it some strong thought before you dash into it. You are an extremely hard worker, but please, slow down. LEO 22 JULY - 22 AUG You have always had wonderful creative ideas, but to actually get started is another story … How about you speak to someone you trust and take their advice without killing them? Your talent for talking to people is very strong, but you either don’t use it enough or you use it loudly, which makes them run … Right now you would like to change the world, but sorry, not your job. You need to give the Loved One a bit more attention. VIRGO 23 AUG – 22 SEP You need people contact at the moment and you need to look around and see what you can change at home. You’ve been wanting to do this for a long time, and now appears to be a Good Time. Its a great start to the New Year - the only thing is to keep your temper when people are not as perfect as you are … Love life looks interesting as well - someone has been wanting to get to know you for a while. Time to open your eyes! LIBRA 23 SEPT – OCT 22 You have a new start for the New Year with ideas of becoming King or Queen because you’re SO intelligent and you never miss anything, a Gift that tends to drive people mad most of the time. However, don’t stop, this is a good year to fulfil many of your dreams, including the Romance which is approaching at a speed. Try not to find too much wrong with him/her and you could end up with great happiness. Take it calmly! SCORPIO 23 OCT – 21 NOV You’re mostly good at dealing with money, but in this case you really have to think carefully before you take on something that could slow you down much more than you expected. Is there anybody in the world that you can trust with this? Come on Scorp, something good waiting for you. Love life looks interesting too, just keep down the criticisms on him/her. You have huge achievement ahead of you and you have the talent for it. SAGITTARIUS 22 NOV – 21 DEC You’ve been thinking of a spot of travelling lately and this is a good thing as you need a break from the stress of the past year. However, do not get carried away and stay away too long, as there is something good waiting for you work-wise. You do so well with people you can convince anybody to buy anything, but watch your temper. Love life could be better, you just need to grow a little more patience. He/she Lurves you … CAPRICORN 21 DEC – JAN 20 This is the year that you look forward to true change (which is not going to happen instantly as we all know). Be patient (what are we saying?) and you will be amazed at how far you go concerning money, job, romance. What on earth has hit you, Cap? The trick is to juggle all of this without harming anybody, including yourself, and you could end up to be the Hero/ Heroine of the Year. Try not to act like you know everything. AQUARIUS 20 JAN – 18 FEB When you’ve given some thought to what you want to do this year, go for it but not in an attacking mode. Being a great Water Sign you are good at going with the flow when you put your mind to it. So put your mind to it. Even Romance looks good, can you believe it! You have some good ideas about making money soon, but don’t get carried away with visions of being a millionaire/ millionairess. Practice the patience you haven’t got.

Sharing My Secrets Stylists and educators often ask me about what I believe makes salons successful year in and year out. My response is always that there are few factors – secrets if you will - that have seen to the success of many stylists and salons. Here are five of the secrets I’ve discovered, advised on, and implemented throughout my career. Secret 1: Address your clients’ needs A stylist who can see the need of their clients and immediately address them can provide the best guidance and make the best colour choices. I’ve always maintained that no matter clients’ hair history and the length of a stylist’s relationship with them, every time your clients sit in your chair, they want the best colour possible with little or no compromise to the quality of their hair. Secret 2: Respond to your clients’ unspoken desires Clients will always seek help from their stylist; either directly or indirectly. In other words, sometimes they know what they want/need, and sometimes they don’t. Even when your clients don’t have an exact vision in mind, you must offer the highest quality products and to use the best colour techniques – even if it’s only for a root tint. When you neglect to satisfy your clients’ fundamental desire for quality in both product and application, they quickly find other alternatives. Often, clients don’t verbalise their dissatisfaction and when you realise it, it may be too late to draw them back in your chair. Secret 3: Compliment your service and technique with quality products If you believe your clients deserve the very best out of a hair service, then you should offer them the very best there is in product and technique. Re-evaluate your product knowledge, offering and your skill set. And make sure that you use the correct products and techniques for your clients’ specific needs. Secret 4: Own your success A satisfied client that continues to visit your salon has become more difficult because clients are more informed about product and application than ever before. Therefore, compromise is no longer an option. You ensure success when you use products for their intended purpose without compromise or substitution. An easy example of compromise is when you use a highlifter as a toner instead of following the correct lightening process. A compromise on quality and process ultimately pushes your clients to find alternatives. Secret 5: Never stop learning Attending an education seminar or training session is not a sign of weakness; it means you are interested in your own career, the growth of your business, and ultimately the happiness of your clients. Education is a fundamental way to put colour at the heart of your salon. Make 2019 a year dedicated to education and self-improvement.

Steve Rowbottom, co-director of the leading UK salon group Westrow, discusses a key trend this autumn-winter: the Power Ponytail. Ponytails are no longer seen as the low-maintenance go-to style for bad hair days: they have become a mainstay on the red carpet, as well as a catwalk fixture season after season. At Fashion Week A/W18, Off-White, House of Holland and Mark Fast all showcased the glamorous simplicity of a slick power pony, while at Palmer Harding, the traditional ponytail was reconstructed, with hair wrapped into a loop and ends left un-tucked for an effortless-looking finish. These modern ponytails are incredibly fierce-looking, yet manage to tick so many wearability boxes: they have an ultra-feminine feel, yet they give off a powerful message that says you mean business. This new type of pony requires plenty of length – extensions if necessary – with enough hair left to wrap around the base of the pony or into a loop. To re-create the new season’s reconstructed pony, blow-dry the hair smooth, and run through with straighteners to create a glassy finish. Pull the hair back into a super-tight, mid-height ponytail (to keep the look very AW18 either opt for a deep side parting or no parting) and secure with a band. Finally, twist the length of the pony until it coils back on itself and pin in place, leaving the ends sticking out, for an undone finish. Hairspray is a must to ensure the look remains slick and flyaway-free.
