From its incredible quietness to its balanced lightness in the hand, and of course, its speed and power.. Dyson invested £50 million developing a dryer that offers unsurpassed performance and feel. Engineers studied hair from root to tip, learning everything they could how it reacts to stresses, what keeps it healthy, and what’s needed to style it optimally. Here’s more info on the Dyson Supersonic Professional’s technology. Intelligent Heat Control A micro-processor in the dryer measures the heat up to 20 times per second to keep it consistent. This means no danger of overheating even when the dryer is close to the head. With no risk of heat damage, hair is smooth, sleek and protected – healthier hair and happier clients! Small Powerful V9 Motor It’s Dyson’s smallest, lightest motor ever, and it speeds up drying by up to half the time of a conventional dryer. What a time saver! Great results, faster. Air Multiply Technology – air sucked into the dryer is amplified by 3 times. The result: More focused power, and more ability to achieve the perfect style easily. Lightweight, balanced feel With the engine in the handle, the Dyson is far less stressful to use, and you’ll really feel the difference at the end of a working day. Professional attachments snap on and off It’s all done with magnets, quick and easy – choose, snap and use. Acoustically tuned motor It’s so quiet that you can have actual conversations while blow drying! No more nodding and pretending you heard your client. Sleek, next-level design Its space-age appearance will make it and you the talking point of the salon. Warranty There’s a two year warranty on parts and labour, and Dyson offers free delivery on all purchases. Want to experience the Dyson Supersonic Professional for yourself? We have a stand at Intercoiffure Congress Education Day on 7th October at Birchwood Hotel, and look forward to meeting you there! Please contact us to qualify for an exclusive stylist price. Available to professional stylists or salon owners only. 087 807 9351 | dysonsales@tudortech.co.za | dyson.co.za

Astrologist Zema predicts your stars for October. For a full personalised reading, you can contact her on 083 430 1456. SCORPIO 23 OCT – 21 NOV It’s time you put your mind to improving your strong spiritual side. This will do great things for you, not only keeping you from killing various people, but will also improve your outlook on life in general. You will suddenly discover that you are capable of much more than you ever thought you were, and your job and human relations suddenly pick up. OK everybody... spiritual Scorpio is about to be reborn… Amazing! SAGITTARIUS 22 NOV – 21 DEC The stars are telling you not to lose your temper. You have a list of things you want to achieve, but somewhere along the line you keep missing the most important one of all - that love interest of yours needs more attention and now would be a good time. You have something in the back of your mind that you have been wanting to do for a long time - how about now? Just make sure there are no guns around ... careful! CAPRICORN 21 DEC – JAN 20 When are you going to sort out this lovelife of yours, Cap? You are so adored by somebody and you’re taking no notice… One step in the right direction can bring you incredible happiness, but you have to open the eyes. Please. You don’t want to lose this magnificent opportunity. You’re doing well at your job but you really need to manage your time better. Get your endless energy back, and get to it. AQUARIUS 20 JAN – 18 FEB You’ve always been creative in one way or another, but you have been neglecting it a bit and there is so much waiting for you. Time to wake up and see the real picture, so to speak. There appears to be a family member who can help you with this (Run! Run! Whoever you are!)… This will also improve your love life, and friendships, and, and… Don’t forget about the money side - always comes with success! How about now? PISCES 19 FEB – 20 MARCH Most times your self-discipline is incredible, but right now you need to pay attention to what you’re doing. There are people who just can’t do without your incredible talent of seeing both sides of a story, (although it drives some people nuts) so use it to your advantage … You may end up getting a job offer through a friend that you just can’t resist - pay attention to the details as you love to do! Go Pisky, go! ARIES 21 MARCH – 19 APRIL The love life is looking better, just keep going. You are finding your own path right now and you’re doing well. Stop stressing so much about money, it will come as it is needed. (This always seems to happen with Aries, lucky you!). There is something creative in the back of your mind that you are not doing, so how about now? It could even end up making you wonder why you waited so long… The Universe wonders too. TAURUS 20 APRIL – 20 MAY If, as usual, you are kind of wondering where you are going, maybe its time to speak to somebody who understands you … (Oh boy! This could take a while …) and most of all - listen! You’re doing a lot better than you think job wise, but there’s something else that you are ignoring. It’s a talent you are not using, you’ve been avoiding it for ever so long. Why? Everybody already thinks you’re a hero/ heroine. So get to it. Shine! GEMINI 21 MAY - 20 JUNE You’re always good at talking, in fact, you never stop - there are many people who would like to take various shutting-up actions against you. However, you seem to be at your most communicative right now, and this could lead to you talking to someone about an interesting job offer. The trick is to think before you open your famous mouth, and - most of all - don’t end up in an argument with the loved one about this. Relax... CANCER 21 JUNE – 22 JULY You appear to be on a path of improving everything in your life and your partner’s. This could be very exhausting for everyone, including your partner who is almost made of gold, but even gold can melt sometimes. So - lists and patience are required. Smartly. If you’re waiting for something special to happen to you, don’t get carried away (what are the stars saying?). It’ll come when you least expect it. Work is very good. LEO 23 JULY – 22 AUG Hide sharp instruments, Leo! You may be experiencing stress and irritation with everything right now, but you really need to lower the growl and walk away or hide. Or both. There is something wonderful coming up in your love life if you just give it a chance. Being one of the most passionate signs of the Zodiac, you are guaranteed to enjoy this. Try not to brag too much … (Huh! What are we saying?) So - relax! VIRGO 23 AUG – 22 SEP Money just keeps looking better and better for you, Virg! Suddenly you’re going to look at things a bit differently, but don’t get carried away and end up spending too much. (Then again, Virgo is so famous for detail.) Irritation with sort of non-perfect people could make you lose your temper soon, so - would you consider a holiday? You’ll have the money for it, and you can take the loved one with you. LIBRA 23 SEPT – OCT 22 If you would like to make some changes to your life which could include job, house, etc., perhaps now is a good time. You can be very spiritual when you feel like it, so this could also be a good time for some spiritual renewal. You’ve been considering this for a long time, but, typically Libra, attention to detail has been holding you back. Time to get on with it, Lib! (Back off everybody!! When Libra actually lets go, hide!)

Inspiration: Looking at New York Fashion Week I was drawn to the collection from Cushnie et Ochs as they drew their inspiration from the iconic film actress and flapper dancer, Louise Brooks. Louise Brooks is the woman for myself who represents everything that is great about the “Bob” haircut. From her sophomore high school picture in 1922 to the haircut in the movie “The Show Off” Louise Brook’s hair is the epitome of all that is wonderful of the “Bob”.

On 24 September, Goldwell held a colour seminar in Namibia, hosted by superstar hairstylist Salome de Wet from The Bang Bang Collective, Cape Town. About 40 delegates attended, some of whom had travelled for many hours to be there. “It was an amazing experience to educate these hairstylists,” Salome says. “I tried to keep it relevant for all the different markets, and was super-impressed that some salons brought their operators along to learn. The primary focus was on colour, particularly balayage. I taught salon-friendly techniques that I do on a daily basis in the salon. We touched a lot on Goldwell’s Pure Pigments and how to use them in different techniques – many of the salons had these products, but hadn’t had the opportunity to really play and experiment with them. I shared a lot of fast, effective techniques for clients who are short on time, and spoke about the colour journey. I did my best to give them all the knowledge I had that could be helpful in the salon, from social media marketing tips to consulting.” Thanks to Goldwell and Salome for rocking Namibia with an inspirational seminar.
