For the holidays, senior stylist and manager Eugene Venter created a fabulously funky yellow effect for his client – and then turned it back into a stylish cool blonde when it was back to work time! Here’s how he performed this stunning change. For my summer yellow fun in the sun hair I used Matrix 5mg and 10vol on the roots colorblended into Matrix 7mg with 10vol on the mid-lengths, and did full ombre foils on the ends using Matrix Lightmaster and 20vol. It was processed for 35min. The hair lifted to a light yellow. I toned the hair using half Matrix Color Sync 10g and Matrix Soboost Yellow with Sync Developer and processed it for 30 min. The hair was rinsed and I then put Punked Yellow over and processed it for 30min. After the holidays the yellow had washed out to a pale yellow. When she came back for her back to work hair I only needed to tone her hair (as the base color was still beautiful) using Matrix Color Sync 10ml 10V, 10ml 8A and 5 ml 3VV and Sync Developer. After I toned the hair I used the new Brass Off range from Matrix Total Results. The new range has a very strong blue pigment in it which I used to eliminate unwanted the orange tones in the hair and enhance the violet blonde in the ombre.

The stunning, newly renovated Giovanni Battista salon in Riverside shopping centre, Bryanston, features a “hair museum” corner where some incredible collector’s items can be found. Over the years, Giovanni acquired one of only two perming machines that still exist in South Africa, as well as an antique barber chair which a Pretoria salon owner sold to him on condition he never sold it on. Glass cupboards contain early model hairdryers we can barely recognise today, hairdressing scissors that are decades old, as well as brushes, combs, clips and other items. “I always keep my eyes open for old equipment that is being sold, to add to the collection,” Giovanni explains, believing that it is important to record our heritage of hairdressing, and respect and preserve the tools and equipment that were used in previous eras. Look out for a full decor tour of the beautiful Giovanni Battista salon in an upcoming Hairnews.

CAPRICORN 21 DEC – JAN 20 This is the time for you to (at last) take a good look at your career… You’ve been doing fine this year, but now have a good look at what you can improve for the New Year. You’re (mostly) intelligent and you can do a lot better. Think carefully and make contact with people who know what they’re talking about. Love life could do with a bit of strongish attention as well. AQUARIUS 20 JAN – 18 FEB Here’s something you actually have to pay attention to. Try hard. You do well with people, you need to get back into doing people things. This will not only bring financial gain, it will also boost the self-image, not something that you are usually short of. Not only will it improve your relationship, it could also bring in some much-needed money. So, we ask, what are you waiting for? PISCES 19 FEB – 20 MARCH Your past year has not been wonderful, but instead of complaining and killing people, take a breath and look at where you are headed. There is something that has been nagging at the back of the brain and now is the time to look at it. The best result is Money… Romance looks good, but the mouth needs to be taken down a degree or two or you’ll end up on a desert island. Try. Hard. ARIES 21 MARCH – 19 APRIL If you make lists and keep to them, you can’t go wrong this New Year. People and their silliness have been irritating you beyond description, so, some thought is called for. Ignore them, hide sharp instruments, hide in the cupboard … Something truly magnificent is coming this year to improve finances, but you have to think before you take action. Love looks good! TAURUS 20 APRIL – 20 MAY For some (strange) reason, young people, even children, are attracted to you, so perhaps you need to take a look at doing something special for them. This could also improve the love life by leaps and bounds! What more could you ask for? Money obviously, but you always seem to be on the right road with this. (The rest of us should be so lucky.) A new job offer seems to be looming. Think! GEMINI 21 MAY – 20 JUNE Because you are a Gemini, you can always see both sides of the story… Fabulous talent to have, but it can also end up confusing you like mad. If there is a difficult decision to be made about work, talk to someone. (Not another Gemini – you could go on until the year after next, up down, up down…) Love also looks good, but don’t keep that special person waiting too long. Do it. CANCER 21 JUNE – 22 JULY Cancer! At last! You finally seem to be choosing the right road. It’s taken a lot of thought and a long journey, but you can be proud of yourself – you’ve done the right thing. From now on, jog along the road and enjoy. Money seems to improve out of the blue too. One has to ask – what took you so long? The thing to pay attention to the most this year is, however, your spirituality. LEO 23 JULY – 22 AUG You’re usually pretty good with money matters, but the stars are telling you to make careful plans in this New Year if you want to realise that dream you have been having for so long. If you need a partner in this famous plan, choose carefully and you could end up being the King/ Queen! Travel is also a strong proposition, but choose a travelling partner carefully. Could be Lurve… VIRGO 23 AUG – 22 SEP You’ve gone a bit downhill in the last year with the perfection thing (you know that one that drives everybody nuts …). However, this New Year is going to get you back on track (run, everybody! Run!). You suddenly look in the mirror and decide on changes. This could involve a new job that will truly test your patience with your attention to detail but could also be exactly right for you. LIBRA 23 SEP – 22 OCT There’s an awful lot of stuff you want to do this year and you can – it just depends on how long you’re going to take to get to it. Try not to make too many lists while time passes by. Love life looks good but you need to get on with it. Even job looks good, you’re always admired for being a hard worker. Most people like you most for your sense of humour when you switch it on… SCORPIO 23 OCT – 21 NOV You’re pretty good with people – your sense of humour and (mostly) sharp brain keeps you going at an amazing speed. Perhaps it’s just time that you slow down long enough to notice the person looking at you with lurve in his/her eyes! This new year could be just what you have been waiting for – dust off the shoes and get going! Endless possibilities – love, job, not killing anyone… SAGITTARIUS 22 NOV – 21 DEC Time to concentrate on your career in this new year as there appear to be endless choices. Sounds good, but the Universe is begging you not to get carried away… Choose one and stick to it like glue, you won’t go wrong. Look at your finances and try and hold back on buying the gold car and diamond necklace. Apply the same rule to admirers who are not always honest. Pay attention!
