You’ll laugh out loud as you watch this video... full of home truths that you often think, but can never say, to clients!

“3 out of 5 clients see hair colour as an essential part of who they are.” 50 % of salon clients ask for blonde. They are cautious about the health of their hair, which is why blonde clients will always spend more money on treatments to keep their hair looking and feeling beautiful. Blonde clients are more loyal to their hairdressers particularly when they find one that not only, creates the perfect blonde, but also maintains the integrity of their hair. Bleaching is the most commonly used technique to create blondes. But it is also – especially when used with a complacent attitude - the colour that produces the most stress on a client’s hair. Ensure that in your consultation you speak about the benefit of keeping the integrity of the client’s hair. Be the stylist that clients want to visit for their blonde hair because you take every precaution to protect their hair during the colouring process. Beautiful blonde hair that holds its colour can be every client’s dream. Wella Professionals has launched a product to salons that will help your clients say yes to colour without fear of damage. Look out for the official product announcement - coming soon! For more info call 021 590 3700. Like Wella’s Facebook page HERE. Wella fans, post your fabulous blonde looks with the hashtag #whywella

Your curly haired clients will love Ladine – and here’s what a leading Ladine stockist salon, Enzi Hair Studio, has to say to clients about the range: "If you’re looking for products that will make your hair look and feel amazing, Ladine is one product line that gives you wonderful results. Known mainly for its relaxers, Ladine’s hair range is formulated to care for each variety of hair types and styles. Here’s four reasons why you should give Ladine products a try. 1. Ladine products are infused with the best oils for any given treatment. You’ll love the moisture and shine created by those lovely oils that penetrate each strand of your hair. 2. Relaxers tend to strip your hair of the essential proteins that keep your hair healthy and strong. Breakage is very common when using relaxers. Ladine relaxers are formulated to inject protein into your hair, maintaining your hair’s natural strength and preventing it from breakage. 3. Is an irritated scalp your biggest fear whenever you’re due for a relaxer? Ladine products are ideal for this because they are safe to use, since it rinses out of your hair quickly and gets to work without any scalp irritation. 4. Ladine products pay attention to the root of your hair, so you know your entire hair shaft is taken care of. Sometimes we like to give special care to the ends of our hair, but when your hair is strengthened and moisturized at the root, the result is volume, movement and minimized breakage. Whatever your hair care needs are, Ladine products are a reliable and affordable way to ensure your hair stays healthy and beautiful." Enzi Hair Studio 45-49 Swaartgout Street, Winchester Hills, Johannesburg - 011 680 0223.​ About Ladine Ladine offers professional products specifically formulated for very curly hair.
