The Goldwell KMS MBE Congress was held on Sunday 3 June at Emperors Palace, Jhb. This sold-out event combined cutting-edge business information with fantastic hairdressing, including Goldwell's incredible new Pure Pigments colour launch. The day kicked off with an in-depth presentation on this from marketing expert Ursula Brett which was a huge hit with the audience. This was followed by lunch, and the chance to interact with the Goldwell KMS brands on display. After lunch, and some fantastic live music, it was time for hairdressing inspiration with Goldwell educator Craig Hopkins as the lively MC for the day. First up was the KMS show, featuring Martin Milne from Gorgeous, Centurion, and Navnit Beharie from Me Myself and I, Edenvale. Fabulous cutting techniques and red-carpet styling saw curls and bold texture ruling the day. This was followed by a collection from India Choo and Bernadine Malan from DNA Salon, Bedfordview, featuring edgy, creative styles and on-trend colours that incorporated the new Goldwell Pure Pigments. Shawn Bubb and Daniella Blignaut from Cutting Edge in Klerksdorp took the next slot with Best Friends collection, which featured Elumen colour together with Pure Pigments in their streetwise, bright, consumer-friendly looks. This was followed by Salome de Wet's visionary collection, including on-stage styling, which combined futuristic fashion with avant-garde. Salome is from the Bang Bang Collective, Cape Town. The final stage show was Guy Kleinhaus from Guy's Chop Shop, Stellenbosch. This cutting superstar did two cuts on models with hair coloured using Pure Pigments for an incredible shimmering effect. Guy's demo was followed by a finale showing Pure Pigments colours on models. This was an awesome event, with super-talented stage stars and a fast paced and entertaining programme.

Here’s a checklist of 6 essential qualities, by Ryan Bush. Ryan is Master Stylist at Carlton Hair Canal Walk, member of the Carlton Hair Creative Team, Carlton Academy lecturer and finalist and Best Cut winner in the Davines World Style Content 2016. Personal Grooming and Appearance This is such an important part of how you portray yourself; the way you groom yourself, your hairstyle, your image, your clothing – even your personal hygiene is all vital as we’re in the “looking good” game. Social skills Confidence: You should have faith in your skills whether social skills or technical expertise. If you can portray yourself as a confident person and be confident about your skills, your clients will trust in your ability. Personality: A vibrant personality in the workplace is something that you’ll need because you will deal with different clients - you’ll need to lead them and not be led. Never underestimate the power of a vibrant personality in building customers’ loyalty. Emotional Intelligence: As with any human-based business, you can find that an emotionally intelligent barber is much more helpful and easy to work with, than a “night owl” (no hard feelings, night owls!). Someone who is more dedicated to their job, is more experienced and gets adequate rest can deal with all types of emotions, as opposed to those who aren’t as dedicated who could come across as more erratic. This one is as important for your team as it is for you. Ask yourself - will you be an asset to your clients and team, especially when the heat is turned on? Social Media skills This is a great way to help you build your own business. Being active and showcasing what you do helps you build your career faster than you can ever imagine. Punctuality Show up on time, even more so, be early. This trait will get you so far in your career and barber shops are all about timing. Humility Your attitude is so important on how you uphold yourself. There is always something that you can learn, nobody likes a know it all. Dedication You’ll need to be dedicated to your profession as many hours are needed to master your craft. The hours are long and you’ll need to put in more hours than your work week in order to grow yourself. Carlton Hair is launching its full-service barber shops, Carlton Barber Co. in October 2018.

A faded ombre is set ablaze with lustrous colour and shine. Here’s how the team at Claudine 4 Hair performed this transformation, which was done during a Wella Magma workshop. We used magma 0/65 (1-1) + 4% with Wellaplex - a few foils on top. Then we mixed Colour Touch 55/65 1-2 + 4% between the foils and the rest of the hair, and left it for 20 mins.

Every salon is looking for ways to save on costs, as well as to become more eco-friendly, while saving on water, electricity and time. Salons in Cape Town have been affected by the water crisis which could affect other areas in the future. And, of course, hygiene is a major factor for salons. These are all reasons why you should be using Eco Friendly Towels in your salon. Made out of all natural fibres including viscose and wood pulp, these disposable towels are fully biodegradable and very absorbent, with a gorgeous, soft feel. And how much do they save? The owner of a large South African salon chain who is using these towels did the sums as follows: Traditional Cotton Towels White towel @R207 for a pack of 5 towels = R41,40 per towel Black towel @R243 for a pack of 5 towels = R48,60 per towel Replacement costs: Towels usually have to be replaced twice a year. Laundering costs: Based on water and electricity usage, average is between R7-8 per wash per towel. Eco Friendly Towels Eco Friendly Towels cost R5,50 per towel, excluding VAT. They are packed in sealed packs of 50 units and cost R316,25 per pack, including VAT. FREE DELIVERY on all orders over 400 units. Size: 80 cm x 40 cm. High quality, white in colour.
