Stephen Delport from the Bargaining Council discusses the legal obligations - what rent-a-chairs are entitled to and not entitled to. Why do salons choose to have people renting a chair instead of being employed? a. They think they will be exempt from paying contributions to statutory bodies. b. However, this places the most vulnerable employees at risk. c. If the situation goes bad and the rent-a-chair leaves, they will often claim benefits such as leave pay, and will then state that they were an employee according to the list of requirements above. d. The growth in the trend of Rent-a-chairs is not good for the industry. If you would like to address the situation within your salon, or would like to make sure you are operating within the law, contact the HCSBC on 0861 427 227 or queries@hcsbc.co.za or go to www.hcsbc.co.za, and we will do our best to help you!

It took a year... but Shawn Bubb at Cutting Edge Hair, Matlosana Mall, Klerksdorp, transformed his client from dark, flat, oversaturated box colour to a shimmering, iridescent platinum blonde. “Going blonde is a journey,” Shawn explains. “This beautiful young lady came to me exactly a year ago with box coloured dark hair and wanted to go blonde. I said it’s possible, but will take time. We did it in six appointments, and always ensured the integrity of the hair was the most important. September 2016: Full head of highlights with Goldwell Silklift, using strong powder and 30-vol and adding Goldwell BondPro. At first we toned her a dark caramel blonde. Then every two months we repeated the same process, just toning her with a lighter toner each time. She used the new Goldwell Kerasilk Reconstruct shampoo and conditioner for homecare, and once a week the Kerasilk Reconstruct Intensive Repair Mask. Cutting Edge, Matlosana Mall, Klerksdorp. 018 487 6340.

Quick, easy, effective! This spray-on solution to grey regrowth is an essential add-on sale and maintenance product for your client. Why Style Secret? Once there is a certain percentage of grey in the hair, regrowth shows up very quickly – often within a week or two. Style Secret ensures that your client’s colour keeps looking good until the next appointment, without unsightly white hair starting to show along the hairline or parting, and without the client being tempted to use a box colour to tide her over! This product is ideal for holidays, allowing your client to maintain her colour until she can get back to your salon, rather than risk visiting an unknown salon. Easy to use, it sprays on and lasts until it is shampooed out. Style Secret is a quality professional product, manufactured and produced in South Africa. Six colour choices are available in an attractive retail stand – Black, Auburn, Dark Brown, Light Brown, Dark Blonde and Light Blonde.
