By Jani Cloete The Modern Hair & Beauty team recently decided to do something different in support of charity… as part of their fundraising efforts for Reach for a Dream, everyone wore slippers for their working day. This created a lot of fun, hilarity and dialogue… well done to the Modern Hair & Beauty team for rocking this footwear in support of a good cause. Here are some photos to enjoy!

The Redken Own-It Award winners are on the trip of a lifetime in New York City, attending a Colour Masters course at the Redken Exchange. In a luxurious hotel just off the legendary Times Square, the most famous tourist attractions are on their doorstep and new adventures wait around every corner. And as for the Redken Exchange – it’s super-awesome, overwhelming, and beyond all expectations! Under the expert tuition of Redken artists Adam Browne and Catherine Allard, the winners are being pushed out of their comfort zone, learning mindblowing freehand colour techniques like Braidlayage and Zigzag. These will empower them to go back to the salon, with supercharged confidence and creativity… earning better, and living better. Winners Chellaine Naude and Kirsten Thomas are joined in New York by Redken educators Dawid Kriel and Ellen Loxton, together with Leandi Cronje and Melissa Mansoer, and accompanied by Redken SA’s Richard Nienaber.

It's label m international educator Max Lamparter's third visit to South Africa... this time it was a countrywide tour with the focus on styling inspiration, and introducing new clients to the label m brand. As the official haircare range for Toni & Guy, a major focus for the brand is on education, but with label m being the official hair sponsor for London Fashion Week for the last 17 years, fashion inspiration and product performance are also essential. "It's not about products any more but about interpretation of trends," Max says. "The core of our philosophy is translating fashion into looks that will work on the everyday client. Label m makes hairdressing real and allows people to choose styles that are achievable with products that perform, bringing the catwalk to the salon. Max created this beautiful work during his recent South African tour, assisted on stage by Carla Klue – House of Klue, Jaco and Susan from Cocoon Hair, and Jarrod Langson from Hand, and was hosted by Cocoon Hair, Terry Scott, Lois behind the Chair, Rolf Offermann, Kelly Red, Scar for the workshops. Below is a highlight reel and photos from the events. To find out more about how label m's fashion inspiration can benefit your salon, email larry@haircair.co.za or contact 021 448 8847.
