Looking for vibrant but tenacious semi-permanent hair colour? Well look no further!

The low molecular weight pigments, combined with Cetrimonium chloride, intensifies highlights and adds radiance to any hair colour. It can furthermore be intermixed and diluted with the Pastel Mix for a more romantic feel. It is ammonia free and uses no developer / peroxide – meaning less damage and less sensitivity. It is gradually eliminated through washing and will last 6 – 10 washes depending on the condition and porosity of the hair. It is suitable for all hair types, but best results are obtained on pre-lightened hair. Contact us on marketing@nebeau.co.za or visit our website www.nebeau.co.za to order yours today!

Are you managing your salon through paper based systems? Do you have heaps of old record cards gathering dust, and do you look through them frantically when a client books in? How about your stock – do you always have your finger on the pulse and know exactly how much product has been used and how much sold? What happens when you have a quieter day ahead and you want to attract more clients into the salon – is it easy or impossible for you to think up a promo and get the bookings in? If you are running your salon manually, it’s time to take the leap and discover what computerisation can do for you. Apart from saving you precious time, the accuracy and information it gives you will benefit even a small business owners. You don’t have to be a large salon to enjoy the benefits! Computers can help every business run more effectively.

A reminder when doing those colour techniques...!

So – how is a global style collection born? Well, the vibrant metropolis of London was the hosting city for this year’s Color Zoom Workshop in January. Here, the Color Zoom Creative Team began their collaboration towards the 2019 Hair Fashion Collection, to be presented at the Global Zoom Event 18 in Toronto later this year. The team included the three Global winners of the 2017 Color Zoom Challange, together with two international artists. Maxim Sotnikov from Russia, New Talent winner Dylan Tung from Singapore, Creative winner Mio Sota from USA, Partner winner Color expert Agnes Westerman from the Netherlands Cut expert Sascha Haseloff from Germany Where did they get their inspiration? Beginning with an inspirational journey around London and a visit to the Tate Modern Museum, the workshop at the Goldwelll and KMS London Academy started with a trend forecast for fashion, design and beauty by an international trend agency. The creative process then got under way with brainstorming, and visualisation on mood boards. By the end of day 1, the main direction of the new collection was already decided, strongly influenced by Energetic Escapism, with its focus on positive and imaginative energy. The following days saw the cut, colour and shape ideas being fine tuned and then merged to create the total looks. The next step was a photo shoot in February 2018 in Berlin. Here, the looks were brought to life as the creative team transferred the inspiration from mannequin heads to live models. The new theme and collection will be unveiled at Global Zoom 18 in Toronto, where the three global winners will also be judges for the 2019 competition. We can’t wait to see the 2019 themes that will inspire salons all around the world! Love Goldwell? Like their Facebook page HERE.

The spring-summer Dior catwalk trends included hair pulled back with hairpins – a very simple look that shows off the models’ faces. It is very feminine and slightly childlike, yet sophisticated, according to Dior’s Guido Palau. To achieve this look, he used Redken’s No Blow Dry Cream to bring out natural texture, add shine, and seal the hair’s cuticle.
