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.

I have had many stylists ask me what they can do to become busier in these economic times. Firstly, we need to understand that a large percentage of our clients still have their hair done in “these economic times”, they just have their colour done less often - and we as stylists allow that. We should encourage our clients to see us at least once every four to six weeks by doing proper consultations and explaining the dynamics of a colour’s lifespan. Doing this will set us apart from the rest. As was the philosophy of the late, great Vidal Sassoon: don’t be average like everyone else. Technical ability allows us to step up in these times: knowing how to encourage extra services and follow up appointments. The new Wellaplex is an excellent example of what to use to do both these things. Upsell the colouring process by adding the Wellaplex and then invite your clients back for a standalone treatment in between colour appointments. Use add-on colour services like an Illumina glossing to boost the vibrancy of colour between regrowth touch-ups. Use quieter times for education and take value in what your educator suggests.

On 8 June, Salon Blanc opened its doors, located at 94 Arum Street, Tableview, Cape Town. The opening celebration, which included a wine pairing, was a fabulous evening. Guests received amazing prizes and giveaways, as well as discount vouchers. The event was well publicised on social media, and was a great evening which was enjoyed by all who attended. Congratulations to co owners Yolandi Mouton and Lyndie Joubert. We look forward to seeing more of Salon Blanc’s amazing work and news. Salon Blanc 021 012 5259
