EXCENTRIC CELEBRATES THE LAUNCH OF THEIR SECOND SALON, EXCENTRIC ON POINT On 16 February leading industry friends, brand partners, clients, families and everyone who made this possible, came together to celebrate the launch of our brand-new salon. Team member Leandi has partnered with us to open our second branch, Excentric On Point. As a company we always pride ourselves on doing things differently and one of these is that we assist in enabling long term growth for our entire Excentric dream team. Leandi has led by example and treated our first salon with all her heart as if it was her own. We wanted her to grow even further and bring her onto the Excentric journey with us. Our three main brands ,Redken,Kerastase and Pureology, are unique and each represents their own individuality. With the catering help of Sian Kaplan from Celebration of Food, we created the look and feel of each brand for the big event. We used the elements of taste, smell, textures, flowers, fruit and color through food, drinks and decor to bring Leandi’s vision to life. Our vision played itself out perfectly and was loved and adored by all our guests. Our guests received a Swag Bag filled with samples, a Cosmo magazine and vouchers, to name a few things. They had the opportunity to enter a lucky draw to win two absolutely amazing hampers, sponsored by our brand partners Redken and Pureology. We could not have asked for a more amazing turnout of guests to our launch, and want to say a big thank you, first of all to all the Excentricers, our dreamteam, clients and partners for being on this journey with us and supporting us every step of the way.

Hair Colour Tips to perfectly match your client’s appearance Stylists often ask Wella Educators, “How do I choose a perfect hair colour for my client?” Our answer is always the same: use the process of consultation and determine what family of tones her eyes and skin are in. To find the perfect colour match we advise differentiating between the four main skin tones: Light cool Light Warm Medium to dark cool Medium to dark warm Both the colour and the tone of the skin are essential factors to consider when choosing the right colour. For the perfect results, we also use the Wella colour comparison charts. Once you are confident of the tone/colour category your client falls into, you can use a complimentary, or analogous tones to colour her hair.

Blonde is trending... and not only in the Caucasian market. A recent article in the New York Times looks at the new phenomenon of Asian women going blonde. New York salons catering to Asian clientele are reporting that 20 to 50 percent of their clients are asking to be blonde. While the blonde trend definitely seems to stem from a desire to fit in with American society’s beauty ideals, there are two other factors that have made it easier. The first is today’s fashions, with the ombre trend making blonde more accessible for darker clients and inspiring many to take the first step towards a new hair colour. The second is the new technology in Olaplex (mentioned in the article) and other bond protectors and repairers, which make blonde possible for darker bases without damage and breakage. Bloggers are leading the trends, and with more and more Asian American bloggers and social media stars choosing to go blonde, their followers are doing the same. However, for darker bases, it isn’t an easy journey – bleaching can take up to 12 hours and the initial colour change, together with the upkeep, is very expensive. However, this is one area where you most definitely need a specialist salon to help you on your journey, as taking the leap from dark to blonde is not something that can be successfully done at home. So are South African clients and salons going to follow this trend, and can you help your clients on a fabulous journey to blonde? Click HERE to read the full article.
