H
ow much do you va lue t ra in ing? Professiona l Beaut y’s Insider
sur vey t h is mont h revea led some sur pr ising stat ist ics.
In the beauty sector, which includes hair and nails, 60 per
cent of participants inter viewed said they would take on a new
product line even if the company did not offer training.
This contrasted dramatically with the spa sector, where ever y business
questioned said they would refuse to consider taking on a new product line
unless training was included as part of the package.
These results are a stark reminder of how far we have yet to go in some
sectors of our industr y when it comes to changing attitudes and beliefs
about the importance of training to ensure the highest standards.
Although training may seem like an initial drain on resources – be it time
or money – it should be viewed as a long term investment.
One woman, who passionately believes in investing in training is our hair
columnist Maria Dowling. On page 61 she explains how she closes her salon
once a month to host a training day with her whole staff. While she may
lose revenue in the short term, she believes this pays off in
the longer term through both staff retention and customer
satisfaction, which leads ultimately to improved sales.
Highly-trained staff from the MENA region were
recently commended at Professional Beauty’s World
Spa Awards. At a glittering reception in London, UK,
Remède Spa at the St Regis, Abu Dhabi UAE, scooped
the Hotel Spa of the Year award, while the Banyan Tree
Al Wadi, Ras al Khaimah, UAE, collected the Resort Spa
of the Year title. Find out why they won from our judges’ tips
on what makes a winning spa, as well as full winner profiles on

M

East
real
estate
developer, Cayan Group,
has announced a strategic
partnership with Swedish luxury spa
specialists, Raison d’Etre.
The
agreement
between
the
two parties will initially see the
development of a LivNordic Spa by
Raison d’Etre in the Cayan Tower in
Dubai Marina. The Cayan Group will
retain ownership for the spa in the
tower, while Raison d’Etre will be
tasked with managing and running
the spa.
Ahmed Alhatti, president and
chairman of Cayan Group, describes
the partnership with Raison d’Etre
as “a testament to our commitment
to provide exclusive, memorable and
one-of-a-kind services to our tenants
across our properties.”
Both
parties
believe
the
introduction of the LivNordic Spa,
which is being designed by Italian
architects M+N Architecture will offer
not only a luxurious spa experience
to clients, but also a unique one that
is based around Nordic living and
wellness. “LivNordic is a new spa
brand with a genuine Nordic heritage,
a true Nordic lifestyle experience
created by Raison d’Etre,” explains
Sabine Itze, project director, Raison
d’Etre. “LivNordic celebrates the
extreme contrasts in Scandinavian
countries, for example the darkness in
winter and the never-ending sunshine
in summer. LivNordic is about the
Men’s sector receives boost with opening
of Jazz Lounge Spa
Established ladies salon and spa chain Tips
& Toes has branched out in a new direction
with the launch of its first men’s spa.
Jazz Lounge Spa, located in Al Barsha,
Dubai, is a two-storey property that spans
across 3,400 sq. ft.
Boasting three massage rooms, four
nail stations, six hairstyling stations, two
bath treatment rooms, one waxing room
and one room for facials, the spa is wellequipped to offer an array of treatments
to its new clientele.
Both male and female technicians will
be available to provide the treatments,
which include everything from hair
services such as colour and cut, nail
treatments, massages, including the
signature Jazz Quartet Massage, skin,
body and bath rituals and grooming
treatments such as waxing and shaving.
The spa has been designed and
decorated with a distinctly stylish and
masculine look; exposed brick walls,
wood panelling and a bold colour palette,
complemented by plush Natuzzi leather
chairs in the nail section and Takara
Belmont ones in hair area.
Brands available within the spa include
Pevonia, Morjana, L’Oréal and Kérastase.
balance between these contrasts.”
Expanding upon the LivNordic
Spa in the Cayan Tower, Itze reveals
that goal of the spa is to offer Dubai
residents a wellness experience and
one that is inspiring and mindful,
providing them with “the tools to
live a happier and healthier life – the
Nordic way.” As part of this goal, only
natural and organic ingredients will
be used in the treatment and culinary
menus of the spa.
Itze added: “There will be six
treatment rooms, a steam room,
sauna, plunge pool, gym, beauty
salon, spa café and outdoor pool. You
will of course be able to experience
a real Nordic bathing ritual here with
hot and cold experiences.”

Time for a Hair Detox?
At mariadowling, we never underestimate the power of
detoxing the hair. External toxins and product overload
can both affect the growth and vitality of the hair, which

The product is simple. A ‘zen-like’ mix of clay and pure

UAE pharmaceutical distributor Al Ittihad
Drug Store (IDS) has announced it is

Fillerina has been developed by Suisse

six different hyaluronic acid molecules of
varying molecular weights and sizes that
are especially effective at penetrating
the layers of the skin and thus allowing
tissues to be filled in and plumped up. It
has been developed for home use and
therefore doesn’t involve skin injection.
Dalya Tabari, director IDS said:
“Fillerina has shown extremely positive
results in the European market and we

UAE as well, keeping in mind that the
beauty and skincare industry is pretty big
in this part of the world as well.”
Fillerina is recommended for women
30 years and above and is available in
pharmacies and hospitals.

Hannah Dowd told Hotelier Middle

“I think there’s a need for it so we

however.
“If they’re protective about financials
we can look at other areas where we
can do benchmarking, for example at
city spas versus resorts so we can have

of the UAE in Abu Dhabi and in Dubai.”
Ab chiselling most popular procedure for UAE men
According to the lead specialist plastic
surgeon at Dubai Cosmetic Surgery
clinic, Dr Juan Tadeo Krogulec, Ab
Etching is becoming one of the most
popular cosmetic surgery procedures in
the region.
Also known as chiselling, the
minimally invasive procedure eliminates
a layer of fat on the abdominal muscles
to reveal a contoured and flat stomach.
Dr Krogulec says the procedure appeals
to those who want targeted results after
failing to remove stubborn fat from the
abdominal area through exercise and
diet. “You can easily find someone who
spends time at the gym working out, and
Professional Beauty GCC April 2015
has well-defined muscles on their arms,
legs, thighs and other areas, but when it
comes to the midsection, the bulge is still
there,” he explained. “This is a problem
that has become very frustrating for
many people especially men and they
do not know any other way to achieve a
more defined and contoured abdomen.”
The
procedure
involves
local
anaesthesia and small incisions are
made through the belly button to allow
a small tube to be inserted, through
which excess fat is removed, revealing
the patient’s natural muscle tone. The
procedure is suitable for both men and
women.

Tanning key growth area for
China's male grooming market
C
hina’s male grooming
market represents a
key growth opportunity
for the tanning sector,
according to market
analyst Datamonitor.
While beauty ideals in China favour
fair skin for women, a tougher, more
outdoorsy look is the fashion for men.
Self-tanning products and sunscreen
with a tanning element are two products
with strong potential in China’s male
grooming market, Datamonitor said.
The compound annual growth rate for
the male toiletries market in China was
12.1 per cent between 2008 and 2013,
compared to an 8.4 per cent for the
overall toiletries market in the country.
Six Senses’ Costa del Sol opening
A Six Senses spa is set to open at the
Puente Romano Beach Resort on
Spain’s Costa del Sol this summer.
Scheduled to open early in the
summer, the spa will feature six indoor
and three outdoor treatments rooms
with ocean views.
Other facilities at the spa will include a
relaxation area, a nail bar and a thermal
area with a hydrotherapy pool, a cold
plunge pool, ice experience showers
with mood lighting and a hammam,
sauna and herbal steam room.
Brands QMS Medicosmetics and
The Organic Pharmacy will be used at
the spa, with the menu comprising a
range of treatments for the face and
body, including Six Senses signature
treatments.
Treatments developed specifically for
the spa will include therapies making
use of local natural ingredients, such as
olive oil, sea salt and herbs and minerals
local to the area.
The spa design has been inspired by
Andalusia architecture, with Moorish
influences.
US beauty sales reach $33.5bn
US beauty industry sales totalled $33.5billion
last year, according to new data from market
analyst Nielsen.
Ninety-four per cent of US households
purchase beauty products, spending an
average of US$98 a year. However, sales
have not increased, with virtually no growth
recorded between 2013 and 2014.
Millennials spent US$461million on beauty
products in the 12-month period ending
June 2014. Male spend on beauty products
saw a 10 per cent increase between 2013
and 2014.
Manufacturers are primarily focusing their
advertising efforts on television, 42 per cent,
and print, 54 per cent. Meanwhile, online
advertising dropped by 73 per cent between
2013 and 2014.
This is despite the fact that while
the number of overall beauty purchase
occasions declined by two per cent across
the US sector last year, online shopping
“trips” rose by 15.4 per cent.
Advertisers need to segment their
marketing more, to appeal to specific
customer groups, Nielsen said.
For example, women under the age of 55
favour products that focus on preserving
a youthful appearance, rather than ones
centred on anti-ageing.
Women over 55, on the other hand,
respond to marketing that clearly and
directly address skin ageing concerns such
as lines, wrinkles and sagging.

Year on year figures for February were a divisive area for the salon
sector – with you split almost straight down the middle as to whether
business was brighter or not than 2014 – and the findings erred just on
the negative side. Things were, however, looking more positive on the
treatment room occupancy rates and rebooking numbers where figures
demonstrated healthy returns.
Our research also turned up some surprising results when it comes to

give you the competitive edge
BROWS
The brief
Clients in their 20s tend to stick to what’s on trend, with full, high-definition brows still in high demand. We
tasked HD Brows with creating a brow look to reflect what was on show on the spring/summer 2015 catwalks.
Creating the look:
Treatment advice:
HD Brows founder Nilam Holmes-Patel says that
this season welcomes the brushed-up brow look:
“It has been sported by celebrities including Emma
Watson, Rosie Huntington-Whitley and Kate Moss, so is
perfect for fashion-forward female clients.”
She adds, “The look is all about texture, creating
perfection and imperfection, so is suitable for all
face shapes. The key to getting it right is keeping the
brow hair long, while maintaining the structured highdefinition brow shape – the overall finish should be
simple but still very much
a statement.”
1. To create this distinctive look, every hair should be
brushed upwards – you want to see every hair stroke.
Either make it really extreme or take it down a notch
depending on what the client wants, so do a thorough
consultation beforehand.
2. The shade of the brow is also significant
and should be multi-tonal from bulb to
tip. This effect can be created with the
brow palette.
3. Use a fine brow pencil, such as Makeup by HD Brows Brow Tec, to almost
draw on the hair. This creates precise, fine
lines rather than filling in the brows with a
block of colour.
4. Finish with HD Brows Colourfix – a
brush-on silky gel that tints, grooms and
slicks brows into shape.

lines, we set Lash Perfect the task of creating a look for clients in their 20s who are looking for a high-fashion finish.
Creating the look:
Treatment advice:
Lash Perfect director Christina Jenkins suggests using a
3D effect such as its Russian Layering technique to give
clients’ eyes a full, high-impact and glam appearance.
She says, “Russian layering is a dream look for this age
group as it can give a permanent strip lash effect, and
also lasts longer and requires less maintenance than
normal extensions.”
1. Start with a consultation to define the intensity and volume
the client requires. Length can be varied to suit the eye shape.
2. Apply under-eye gel patches to the client’s lower lash line
before starting the treatment
3. Between two and six lashes are adhered to a single natural
lash. The therapist can build up the intensity, adjusting the
volume across the lash line to create a fuller effect
4. The lashes are applied with specialist adhesive, which
is thinner but strong enough to bond the groups of lashes
without clumping.
5. Advise the client to steer clear of oil-based products, which
can affect the glue. That way they will require fewer in-fills.

The brief
As clients start to see the first signs of ageing on their skin, they will also notice
their brow hair thinning. We gave brow specialist Chelsea Beautique the brief of
creating an age-defying look that will lift the face but is also easy to maintain.
Treatment advice:
Creating the look:
A well-defined brow can frame a client’s face and
take years off their look, advises Chelsea Beautique’s
Rosemarie Saxon. “The solution really is to use a brow
powder that adheres to both the hair and skin and
allows you to fill in patchy spots and make the arch look
thicker.” She adds, “Using the Chelsea brow stencil kit is
ideal, as clients can purchase the kit at retail and easily
recreate the shape you’ve created. Because the powder
is smudge-free and water resistant brows will stay in
shape all day long.”
1. Ensure skin is dry and free from oils, cream and make-up.
2. Choose the stencil that is most suited to the clients

face. For example, round face shapes will find a higher
arch more flattering, while long faces can be balanced
by a flatter brow.
3. Use the Duo Applicator Brush, lightly apply the
powder in gentle back and forth strokes, filling the entire
arch. An additional layer can be added for a bolder brow.
The powder will set within a few minutes.
4. Use tweezers to pluck around the brow to maintain
the shape.
5. Advise clients
to remove the
powder using

LASHES
The brief
With more disposable income but less time on their hands, due to work and family commitments, clients of this
age group are looking for lashes that give long-term results with little maintenance. As women approach their 40s,
hair tends to thin. We asked Novalash which techniques would be most suitable to achieve a sophisticated but low
maintenance lash look.
Treatment advice:
Creating the look:
Novalash recommends that salons focus on thickness
and definition rather than length, because longer, more
dramatic looks require more maintenance. The NovaLash
technique is perfect for this type of client because it gives
the look of wearing eyeliner, which instantly rejuvenates
and brightens the face. If done properly, it will actually
eliminate the need for eye make-up altogether.

Professional Beauty GCC April 2015
Select a minimum of three lengths that are about 25 per
cent longer than the client’s own natural lashes. For this look
we used 8mm-14mm as the model had long natural lashes.
We recommend a box of Novaminx in B Curl (pictured).
2. Bond extensions to suit the client’s natural lash cycle,
making sure short extensions are placed only on short natural
lashes, long-to-long and so on. This will ensure lashes look
natural as they shed while making the set last longer.
3. During the time allotted, apply all lengths of lashes but
focus on using the shortest extensions across the entire lash
line. On the model pictured we used more 8mms than any
other lash. Using mainly short extensions
in a full set creates a thick, dark lash line.
4. In the last 15 to 20 minutes, bond any
remaining short natural lashes to boost
the “eyeliner effect” even more.
5. The technique uses NovaLash’s Platinum
Bond adhesive so the client should only
need to return every four weeks for infills.
professionalbeauty.ae
BROWS
The brief
As well as thinning, eyebrow hair can start to grey and become more unruly
as women age. The more mature client may have also spent a lifetime over
plucking, so we asked Brow by Mii how to treat a client who has little hair left.
Treatment advice:
Creating the look:
Brow by Mii educator Nicola Wakeling says establishing
a regrowth programme is key. “During the treatment
consultation, carefully measure the brows to decide the
ideal shape. Hair can gradually lose pigment as we age,
so tinting will make a huge impact, enhancing brows and
adding a frame back to the face. Look to match the tint
colour to the undertone of hair, which will normally be
cooler in this age bracket.” She adds, “When it comes to
shaping, avoid sharp lines. If you want to add definition,
focus on the
base line of brow, keeping the
top line soft.”
1. Consultation is vital. Measure the brows then create
a preview of the look using make-up products. You
can then agree on an achievable look your client is
comfortable with.
2. Tinting is the next stage, to add a frame back to the
client’s face. Depending on their natural brows, tinting
fine, downy hairs and even the skin may be beneficial.
3. Decide whether waxing is necessary. If so, it may be
predominantly downy hairs that you need to remove at
this stage.
4. Tweeze and trim to tidy the new shape. Coarse hairs
may need to be trimmed or sometimes plucked, to give
uniformity to the brow.
5. Finish the brow with make-up. This has two benefits
– the client leaves feeling confident with her brows, and
it gives you the opportunity to show the client how to
maintain her look between treatments and retail product.
LASHES
The brief
There’s a misconception that if your client is older, a natural look is the only way to go. However, opening the eyes
to give a wide-awake, more youthful appearance is actually what the over-50s client is demanding, according the
lash brands. We tasked Nouveau Lashes with creating a lash look that would give a youthful appearance with its
LVL treatment.
Creating the look:
Bridgette Softley, co-director of Nouveau Lashes, says that
for many ladies in their 50s and beyond, hair and lashes
have started to thin and become sparse so, “anything too
thick or heavy can have an ageing effect, because it could
cause the eyes to look laterally cantered and droopy”. Codirector Karen Betts adds, “Most ladies in their 50s want the
illusion of more youthful eyes, so LVL by Nouveau Lashes
would be a great choice as it's maintenance free and cares
for the natural lashes while still making them more defined
and opening the eyes up. For fine lashes the treatment
products should be left on for the minimum time.”

An LVL treatment
Treatment advice:
Carry out a consultation to establish the client’s
desired outcome.
2. Study the client’s eye shape to determine which size
shield to use.
3. Prepare the client’s lashes and cleanse the eye to
ensure the natural lashes are ready for the treatment.
4. Apply the LVL formula. This semi-permanent lash
treatment enhances the natural lashes by straightening
rather than curling. The treatment takes 30 to 45
minutes, depending on length and quality of the natural
lashes, and lasts six to eight weeks.
5. Advise clients on aftercare products such as the LVL
conditioning treatment for post-treatment use.

Ask the
experts
Our experts from around the globe
answer an array of questions about
every aspect of running a successful
salon or spa
What is the best approach for treating
a client with milia and are there any
contraindications we should be aware of?
M
ilia are little white cysts filled with keratin
that can afflict your skin at any age,
but are mostly seen in babies. Most
adults who suffer with milia get them
because their skin has not been properly
exfoliated, cleansed and regularly taken care of. In some
cases, milia will disappear without treatment. In fact, when
babies have milia, most doctors will not recommend any
special treatments – just to wash the baby’s skin with warm
water and pat it dry with a soft towel every day. Milia are
completely harmless. They pose no threat to your client
and they are not dangerous, just a cosmetic problem or
annoyance.
Milia can occur anywhere on the body, but they are
usually found around the eye area where the skin is thin
and commonly seen around the cheeks, nose, forehead and
chest. The problem is that milia grow underneath the skin so
cannot be removed by usual extraction methods. However,
a beauty therapist can remove milia with a little hollow
needle to control the production of sebum in the skin. There
are no contraindications, but the removal process must be
hygienic and after removal, clients should embark on a
maintenance programme. This should involve ceasing using
oily substances on the area, the use of a good exfoliant
product to remove dead skins cells, regular cleansing with
warm water and moisturising with vitamin A and alpha
hydroxi acids. Clients should also avoid heavy make-up
and cosmetic creams, which block pores, and avoid sun
exposure or direct sunlight as much as possible, or use a
gentle oil free sunblock and take vitamin B supplements.
It is important that the client does not try to scratch milia
away as this may irritate skin and even damage or scar it.
Milia treatment depends on how serious or severe the
problem is. For instance, gauge whether it is normal or
mild milia (small and often not obviously seen), secondary
or inflamed milia or milia vulgaris which is more red
and sensitive. For mild milia, the beauty therapist can
remove and conduct microdermabrasion that removes
the topmost layers of the affected skin or use basic
AHA peels. For secondary milia you can also conduct
mild microdermabrasion. For milia vulgaris, it should be
controlled by ultrasound or LED light. In some cases where
the milia is severely red and inflamed, widespread and
persistent, it shouldn’t be touched by beauticians; in this
case it is best to seek a medical opinion in order to avoid
further infections.

I’m keen to boost my revenue this year, but
would like to do this based on the existing
treatments we already offer in the salon. How
would you recommend I go about doing this?
T
he good news is, using your existing clients,
your present staff and the same premises,
you can not only increase your profit and your
clients’ loyalty but also motivate your staff
to grow professionally. How is this possible?
By adding enhanced treatments and services to your
menu! I achieved this within my salon and also helped to
implement similar projects across other beauty salons
around the UAE, and I can provide some step by step tips
on how to roll out this strategy.
Firstly, check the reports in your salon’s software
management programme to identify your most popular
service. In my case, I was surprised to discover the nail
department was selling on a daily basis more manicures
and pedicures than any other service, including nail
extensions and nail art.
Once you’ve identified your key service, find out what
it is about this service that appeals to your clients. I did
this through survey cards, and one of the most prominent
comments was “quick and properly done”. With this in
mind, I discounted the idea of introducing a spa manicure
or pedicure and instead focused on how I could achieve
better and faster nail treatments. As a result I decided to
implement the use of a machine manicure and machine
pedicure. It’s a very fast service, similar in many ways to
a basic manicure and pedicure, but with many additional
advantages, including longer lasting results and increased
hygiene levels.
When it comes to rolling out any new services, start
with your loyal clients first and reward their loyalty with a
special offer. When I launched the machine manicures and
pedicures for one month we offered them to every client
who came for a regular service and at the same price as the
regular service. By doing this you not only reward and show
your appreciation of your regular clients, but it also affords
your staff an opportunity to demonstrate everything they
have learned from their training. Additionally, it also gives
you a platform to promote your new service without the
costly expense of advertising. We found that following
the one-month trial, most of the clients subsequently
requested the machine-based treatments, even though the
price was double that of a regular manicure or pedicure.
Education is also critical to the roll out of any new
service and not just for those who will be carrying out the
treatments, but also to the other staff in the salon – hair stylists,
for instance – who can then introduce it to their clients,
while the reception staff need to be able to communicate
the new service over the phone in a clear and correct
manner.
If you do decide to advertise your new services, do so
wisely. When I carried out my survey, I found out that 90
per cent of my clients came to my salon due to word of
mouth. So when it came to promoting our new service I
decided the most affordable and effective platform was
social media. Many of our clients are connected to us on
different social networks and like to receive news and
offers this way, so I simply placed the information about
the new advanced treatment on
social media.

What is the difference between taking a
holistic aromatherapy course and undertaking
this as part of a general beauty course?
And what areas should I expect to cover in a
holistic aromatherapy course?
T
here is a vast difference between taking up a
profession in one specific field and wanting
to become an all-rounder. Comparing a
holistic aromatherapy course as part of a
general beauty course is not correct and
unprofessional in the field of clinical aromatherapy. Note
that aromatherapy is an art and a science, it is the study of
essential oils extracted from herbs, plants, fruits, flowers,
bark, stems, roots, etc, and is an alternative therapy and
cannot be related in any way to a general beauty course.
Some beauty courses include aromatherapy in their
regime as most products contain essential oils anyway,
however they are only touching the surface of what is
huge scientific research and a therapy that has been used
for 5,000 years. To study holistic aromatherapy is not an
easy task. In the IFPA curriculum which we teach there is
800+ hours of training, plus the therapist has to do her
case studies which also play a large role in their overall
understanding of this art. In aromatherapy, one has to learn
the chemical constituents of the oils, which will enable
the students to become master blenders. Basically at the
end of the course the student will be qualified in using 66
essential oils and 15 base oils and four herb/macerated
oils. This will allow them to work with almost any medical
condition a client may come in with. Becoming a holistic
aromatherapist also requires empathy and compassion.
Aromatherapy is a very vast field and each graduate will
specialise in certain fields, some go into dermatology,
emotional issues, treating musculoskeletal issues,
genealogical conditions and much more.
In an IFPA curriculum you cover anatomy/
physiology/pathology, professional development
and business awareness, holistic massage theory,
practical, aromatherapy theory and oractical, plus
the student needs to complete 120 hours of case
studies. All this information can
be found on our website

Winning ways
We reveal the World Spa and Wellness Award winners from the Middle
Eastern categories
At a glittering black tie reception and dinner at The Brewery
in the City of London, UK, the winners of the World Spa &
Wellness Awards 2015 were unveiled. With spa professionals
from across the globe gathering at the event to hear the
exciting results, the evening provided the perfect platform
to celebrate and reflect upon the achievements of the
international spa sector.
Organised by the Professional Beauty Group in the UK,
the awards follow a multi-layered judging process, which
included both official and mystery shopper visits to the
short-listed finalists.
Winners in this year’s Middle East categories were
Remède Spa at the St Regis, Abu Dhabi, UAE, which
scooped the Hotel Spa of the Year award and the Banyan
Tree Al Wadi, Ras al Khaimah, UAE, which won the Resort
Spa of the Year for the Middle East and Africa.
Before turning the page to read more about the winners
and finalists, discover just what it takes to be a winner, with
the following advice from the judges of the World Spa &
Wellness Awards.
Tips for success
1) THE BIG PICTURE: A guest’s spa experience isn’t
simply about the treatment; it begins the moment they
set foot in your property and should hopefully end
long after they leave.
2) VISION: Whether the inspiration or ethos for the
property is Asian, Indian, European or Middle Eastern,
imbue its feel throughout – from décor and staff
knowledge to treatments and retail. This makes for a
warm and lasting impression.
3) ATTENTION TO DETAIL: Simple things like giving
guests a tour around the facilities go a long way to
making them feel comfortable. They shouldn't have to
think, just relax throughout the whole experience and
spas should remember this in everything they do.
4) COMFORT: From temperature levels and lighting to
privacy and even hydration, ensure your guests feel at
ease at all times.
5) KNOWLEDGE: It’s essential for therapists to know
their products, to be attentive to clients’ needs and to
be able to tailor treatments to meet those needs.

turn brassy, but now the ends of my locks are a cool light
brown and have remained so, without a hint of orange
almost three weeks after the makeover. I found the eyelash
application a little uncomfortable but I was so pleased with
the final results – I’ve hardly had to wear make-up since and
my lashes still look great, they have totally transformed my
face. My nail art was very pretty and my make-up looked
very professional. I rarely ever wear foundation so I loved
the flawless skin look that was created for me.
Professional Beauty GCC April 2015
My hair colour was refreshed and grey covered using
Goldwell’s Topchic Permanent 5NBP Topchic on the roots,
which promises 100 per cent grey coverage. Goldwell’s
8SB + 7MB Colorance demi permanent was used to create
the ombre look. Amali Abdel Hadi, professional educator
for Goldwell explained that the cool colour in the ends
of my hair would last 82 per cent longer because of the
product’s cool protect technology. My hair was washed
and conditioned with Goldwell’s Dual Senses Color Rich
Range Shampoo and 60 Conditioning Second Treatment.
Next my nails were painted with the on-trend purple
polish, LCN Crazy Blueberry and nail art was drawn on my
ring fingers. LCN base coat and top coat were used.
The NovaLash Lash Extensions were applied which gave
added length and thickness to my natural eyelashes, and an
alternative to the daily use of mascara. Each extension was
added to my natural lash using medical-grade adhesive and
the process took around two hours. The final touch was
a make-up application with Cinema Secret professional
make-up, to provide a cover girl finish.

How they created the look
Nicki’s hair colour was created using a full head of highlights
with Silklift + 20 volume, 6 per cent and 10P Topchic Care,
Dual Senses blonde highlights. Her hair was also given a
60 second treatment using Goldwell products to ensure
optimum condition. A full set of Novalash, black eyelash
extensions were applied and Nicki opted for the LCN
green polish O-thentic and grey polish High Maintenance
as well as some gorgeous nail art. LCN basecoat and
topcoat were also used. Nicki had a full make up applied
with Cinema Secrets products from foundation to blush,
eye make-up and full on red lipstick, set in place with a
primer. The end result was red-carpet glamour!
Nicki’s comments
I absolutely loved my makeover experience! I particularly
love my haircut and colour. The ashy, natural look was
just what I wanted and the Goldwell colour hasn't
dulled in the slightest.
I was skeptical when Amali Abdel Hadi, professional
educator for Goldwell suggested putting layers in my
hair but they worked really well and gave it muchneeded volume! My eyelashes look so natural that I
have had compliments from people who have thought
that they are my own. Overall it was fantastic to see
the Madi brands in action and really come to life.

The Hair
DOCTOR
Dr Mike Ryan discusses the causes of
female pattern hair thinning and how
they may affect your client
T
he majority of women presenting with
pattern hair thinning show (in my opinion),
acquired pattern alopecia due to the
cascading affects of metabolic, hormonal
and sometimes nutritional disturbance
within a number of body systems. These women may be
of any age and have a common history of lethargy, dry
skin, menstrual difficulties, pre-menstrual mood
disorders, weight gain, diminished libido, sleep disturbance
or headaches. Their thyroid function testing and/or
salivary hormone profiles (SHP) will often be imbalanced;
with elevated testosterone (TT) and/or DHEA – the
adrenal gland endeavoring to stimulate thyroid function.
Genetic hair thinning in women usually occurs pre or
post menopause, but can also be present in younger
women with high follicle sensitivity.
Menopause almost always affects the hair on the scalp
and many females think at this time that they have
female pattern loss (FPL).
Fifty is the average age for menopause, but changes
to the hair can begin long before, and is one reason why
hair thinning during menopause is difficult to counteract.
Nobody over 40 has the same volume of hair they had in
their twenties, but menopause is an extra and accelerating
cause. The pattern of menopausal hair thinning is similar to
the early stages of male pattern hair loss.
Hair has deep psychological
meaning. Both menopause and
loss of hair are often associated
with loss of femininity and
attractiveness
Psychological impact
Hormonal fluctuations during menopause are often the
most distressing. From a psychological viewpoint, it is
very common for a woman to scrutinise herself in the
mirror more closely, and particular attention might be
paid to hair. Hair has deep psychological meaning.
Both menopause and loss of hair are often associated
with loss of femininity and attractiveness. These
thoughts and changes can all feed into each other, and it
becomes a vicious and demoralising cycle. Rest assured,
though, it is very rare for a woman to go bald. And things
can be done to get the best out of the hair during this
stressful time.
Oestrogens and the hairduring menopause
The basis for changes during menopause is a decrease in
oestrogen. Oestrogens affect the menstrual menopause
and may mean the hair won’t grow as long as before.
This is because oestrogens keep the hair in the
growing phase, and the longer the growing phase, the
longer hair can grow. Reduced oestrogen levels cause
the hair’s growth cycle to shorten and mean that the
hair sheds before it reaches the length that it used to
grow to.
Androgens (male hormones) and the hair
during menopause
Androgens are male hormones. They are found in
women as well as men, but to a lesser degree. Menopause
causes androgen levels to increase, which can in turn
trigger thinning of the hair on your scalp and can also
cause extra facial and body hair. Androgens do not
necessarily decrease the number of scalp hairs, but
reduce the diameter and length. The result is a loss of
volume or body. The hair may not be falling out more, or
failing to grow back - but the replacement hairs are
weaker and finer.

hair restoration centre in Dubai which

treatments. Vivandi also supplies hair loss
products for professional use.

From metallic and violet to copper and caramel – this season’s
hair colours have something for all
L'Oréal
Red hot
Blonde is a colour that never goes out of
fashion – and this season’s hottest blonde
styles seem to stretch from one extreme
to the other. For those clients keen to
make an impact with their hair colour – ultra
blonde or platinum is the look to
recommend; alternatively for a more
relaxed and subtle style, a natural sun-kissed,
beachy blonde (as seen on our covergirl,
right) is the way to go. Aloxxi, Goldwell
and L’Oréal also highlight strawberry
blonde, caramel, ash blonde and golden
tones as topical trends for this colour.
Stylists should be on red alert right
now as this bold colour is hugely on
trend. Brands including Aloxxi,
Goldwell, L’Oréal and TIGI have all
unveiled a portfolio of beautiful
shades of red that span from copper
to auburn. From electrifying violet
hues and striking cherry and fire reds
to warmer mahogany and maroon
tones – there’s never been a better
time to make a style statement with
red locks. The depth and variety
available within the red colour
spectrum also ensures that there will
be a look to suit each of your clients.
TIGI has unveiled a line of creative,
gloss red colour shades that range
from bold copper through to burgundy.
Four demi-permanent gloss shades are
ammonia-free and great for refreshing
previously coloured hair. The two
permanent creative shades, meanwhile, offer intense
results and up to 100 per cent coverage, resulting in
striking hair colour.

When it comes to dark hair the emphasis is on accents.
The overall colour remains strong, shiny and a block
colour - raven-haired or sheer black - but is highlighted
with shimmering metallic or silver tones. Davines’s Shine
Collection encapsulates this theme, which it describes as
“a little 90s inspired but with futuristic iridescent colours”.

lift with eye-catching violet,

Training days
Investing in a monthly training day might seem like a big ask, but the resulting
benefits of a highly-trained, motivated staff are worth it, writes Maria Dowling
I
n my past columns I have touched upon the subject
of staff training; the reasons why training is such an
important tool in the development of skills, team
building and overall staff morale. This month, I’m
going to provide insight into staff training at
mariadowling specifically.
Like many in the beauty business, our salon is incredibly
busy, every day. Making sure the entire team is available for
a training session on their day off or after hours is pretty
much unachievable. So I close the salon for a full day once
a month for training. On the first Monday of every month,
we don’t take bookings, and the stylists have the whole day
free to come into the salon and be part of the training
programme.
In closing the salon I lose revenue but feel that it’s worth
it. Learning and staying motivated in our industry is
essential for growth and development. Creativity and
keeping abreast of new techniques is exciting for everyone,
and our staff then passes this excitement and enthusiasm
on to the clients.
“Learning and staying motivated
in our industry is essential for
growth and development”
When I am planning a training day, I look at what is
happening in the salon. I meet with suppliers to see who
can provide training on new techniques, product
knowledge and customer service. These days, thanks to
the internet, our clients are often as informed as us about
new products on the market, so it is essential to make sure
our suppliers provide product training and updates
regularly so we can offer expert advice.
Training days are well planned and thought out. I work
with my head colourist and salon manager, to come up
with ideas and a programme well ahead of the training day
so I ensure that the stylists and support team are kept busy
and stimulated for the whole day.
To give you an example of a recent training session we
did, L’Oréal brought in an international artist from the UK
who spent a day at the salon. We arranged for models so
he could demonstrate the new spring/summer cuts and
colour trends, then our stylists took over and replicated the
looks on their own models, under the watchful eye of the
L’Oréal artist and me.
We very much work to international level, staying ahead
of trends from Europe and the rest of the world. This is one
of the reasons our clients return to us, because they know
their style is current wherever they are in the world.
We also look at other trends that are having an impact
on hair. For example, every training day we have a session
called “Lifestyle”, where we take fashion and trends for
clothing, shoes, bags, make-up, and look at how it all
connects to hair trends. It’s amazing when we sit and look
at how it all makes sense, and great for the team to be able
to relate this back to the clients.
I have been asked many questions in the past about
whether giving staff more skills through training will
encourage them to move on to other salons or to bigger
and better things. For me, this isn’t an issue. I urge
businesses not to be afraid to train their staff for fear of
empowering them and then losing them. I look at training
as a self-improvement tool which will help retain staff
rather than lose them. Your employees
will appreciate the effort that has been
put into the training day, and ultimately
this is the type of employee that you
want to retain – someone who
continually wants to improve.

All change
Sally Hewerdine explains how to steer
your business through times of change
M
any of you will have recently picked
up a lot of inspiration from
Professional Beauty’s Global Spa
and Wellness conventions, both in
Dubai, UAE and in London, UK. This
might well have motivated you into making a few changes
to your own business, whether you are an owner or a hands
on team player.
The majority of people struggle with change, you get into
comfortable routines and are frightened of what is often
called “failure”. Of course you need change, your businesses
need change to develop and move with the times and
although some may not relish it for fear of the unknown,
change is generally very good for you and for your clients.
Managing change well ensures that teams and individuals
are seamlessly transitioning into a new desired state; this
could be the way you do things or the introduction of a new
treatment or brand.
One of the most important aspects of implementing
change is getting everyone to “buy in”. If those concerned
understand the reasoning behind the change you are half
way to successful implementation.
Alternatively if you have an idea and are looking for
reassurance before implementing it then there are many
ways to see if that idea is going to be received well:
• Conduct a small survey
• Host a lunch with your team and get the conversation
started
• Conduct a trial on a small scale and demonstrate results
• Share your research and reasoning with a leadership team
• Take advantage of others open door policies to ‘pop in and
ask the question’
• Hold a focus group with clients and get their opinions
Once your have gained the reassurance you need, there
are several ways you can implement change as seamlessly as :
“The majority of people struggle
with change, you get into
comfortable routines and are
frightened of what is often
called failure”
Tips for success
1. Change committee
You may wish to consider a change committee for those in
the team who like a project and extra responsibility. This is a
great way to motivate and delegate, sharing responsibility
and empowering people. Ensure your committee has a very
clear understanding of their role and your expectations.
2. Setting goals
Setting clear measurable goals will not only motivate you to
achieve, but enable you monitor progress. Ensure your goals
are SMART: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and
Time-Bound.
3. Feasibility
If you are making changes that include financial input then
make sure you research well to reduce the risk of an
unsuccessful change; consider focus groups and do a
feasibility study.
4. Transparent communication
Ensure everyone is clear about why change is occurring; good
communication and transparency is vital for a successful
implementation.
5. Training
Design effective and measurable training to direct staff.
Follow up with tests, observation, and feedback to monitor
the success of the training. It often takes a while to create new
habits so recap training is essential.
6. Planning
Like any good project the success is all in the planning. Put
together your strategy with timelines, delegate to your
committee and re-group for progress reports.
7. Introducing Into your culture
In order for changes to become part of your culture, to really
have it embedded into your business the change needs to be
reiterated all the time. Recap the message in meetings,
training, day-to-day chat, observation rounds, posters,
newsletters and marketing. Repeat it, repeat it again and just
for safe measure do it again another twenty times.
Remember, change is good if you believe it's good.

Healthy glow
This month we showcase tanning, warm sand therapy and
a new skin rejuvenation ritual
This month we tried…
St Tropez Spray Tan at Essentials Beauty Salon
Artificial tans have come a long way in the last decade, not
only in terms of product evolution and development, but also
in terms of uptake and acceptance. Long gone are the days
when fake tans were reserved for Hollywood stars or special
occasions, nowadays they are a regular fixture in the weekly
beauty rituals of many women and men. As artificial tans have
grown in popularity so has recognition of the St Tropez brand.
Renowned and regularly lauded for its natural looking, easy to
apply tanning products, St Tropez has been at the forefront
of the artificial tanning industry for many years now. So when
it comes to testing an artificial tanning treatment, it seems
appropriate to try a St Tropez spray tan.
I was advised to carry out an all over exfoliation 24 hours
prior to the spray tan application and to arrive at the salon –
Essentials Beauty Salon – in dark, loose fitting clothing. I discuss
with the therapist the depth of tan I’d like – as someone who
has naturally pale skin I’m seeking a subtle colour upgrade to
my skin, a sunkissed glow rather than a bold bronzed finish,
and therefore the therapist recommends a medium tan. Prior
to the treatment, the therapist applies moisturiser to my
hands, elbows and knees to prevent the tanning solution from
collecting in these dry areas. The spray tan itself is a quick and
easy process. It takes the therapist less than 10 minutes to
apply two layers of the spray tan, which feels cool and smells
relatively odour-free as it hits the skin. After the application,
there’s a further 10 minutes of fan-assisted drying and then I’m
told to wait at least eight hours before showering. This allows
the tan to develop and penetrate the skin, which the therapist
says should last a week. The resulting colour is fabulous, the
sun-kissed glow I was looking for and the positive reaction of
family and friends also points to the success of the treatment.

LPG Skin Rejuvenation
This month we tried…
MLX Quartz “warm sand” treatment
From wellness experts Gharieni, the MLX Quartz treatment
table provides an innovative and remarkable concept in
spa tables. Instead of the usual surface, the table uses a
base of alpha-quartz sand, which can be warmed to the
desired temperature. Based on the ancient Greek concept of
“psammotherapy”, which uses warm sand to alleviate pain
and promote comfort, the client reclines on a linen placed on
the table and the warm quartz “sand” flows around the body
enveloping it and releasing muscular tension. The height and
inclination of the bed can be adjusted so that the client can lay
with their feet or head elevated.
The table was huge hit at the recent Professional Beauty
GCC exhibition, where I got to experience it for myself. The
state-of-the-art heated bed of warmed quartz was draped with
cosy linens and I experienced the sensation of laying cocooned
in warm sand. The healing powers of the quartz combined with
the warmth of the bed, feels extremely grounding, comforting
and relaxing. Just laying on the bed feels like a treatment in
itself! The table can be used for regular massage treatments,

This new skin rejuvenation treatment programme
combines LPG’s Endermolift technology with a superficial
peel for maximum results. The non-invasive treatment
aims to create a unified and smoothed complexion and
is particularly good for ageing and problem skin and
pigmentation.
The treatment commences with cleansing using the LPG
pre-treatment Micellar Lotion. The Endermolift treatment
is then used to boost microcirculation and stimulate
fibroblasts to make them more receptive to the peel. This
ensures that the skin will absorb the peel better and is less
likely to appear red following the treatment.
The peel is then applied to the face and neck via a noneedle syringe with a soft silicone applicator. The peel
utilises glycolic acid and mandelic acid (derived from
almonds) and comes in two formulas, one for sensitive,
fine and reactive skins and one for normal to thick or
mature skins. The mandelic acid has strong antibacterial
properties and is suitable for all skin types including dark
and olive complexions. The treatment is completed with
a Post Treatment Collagen Mask to soothe and intensely
moisturise the skin after the
peel. The treatment can be
performed every two
weeks and a programme
of six is recommended,
although results are
visible after just one
treatment.

New beginnings
Stock up for spring with the latest rejuvenating beauty, spa, hair and
nail products
Dermalogica
Launched this month, Dermalogica’s PowerBrightTRx is a potent
trio of skin-brighteners incorporating new technologies to produce
a more even, luminous skin tone. The line replaces the ChromaWhite
TR range, and represents a streamlined approach to treating
hyperpigmentation with the beneficial layering of active complexes
to optimise results. The new products include C-12 Pure Bright
Serum, a highly active topical treatment which helps address
pigmentation imbalance with an exclusive combination of peptides,
rice-derived phytic acid, zinc glycinate and algae. Next up is Pure
Light SPF50, a daytime moisturiser designed to shield the skin
from pigment-inducing UV light, with the use of a new oleosome
technology that boosts SPF protection without having to add higher
concentrations of sunscreen agents. The final product, Pure Night, is
a rich and nourishing overnight treatment that helps control melanin
formation, restore skin luminosity and maximise the benefits of the
PowerBrightTRx system while the skin is at rest.

Thalgo
Defi Cellulite claims to correct the structural alteration of
compacted cellulite using Oxy Active technology. The product
saturates the cellulite with encapsulated oxygen and is rich in
santalum which helps disperse pronounced cellulite and reinforce
the skin’s resistance to unsightly dimples, providing visibly
smoother-looking skin. Obtained by combining fucus serratus
algae with another plant, Coleus forskohlii, Thalgo’s exclusive Oxy
Active Technology helps reverse the cellulite-generating process
as it works to reactivate tissue oxygenation and reduce excessive
expansion of adipocytes. It can be applied every morning by
clients of all age groups.

Kérastase
Chronologiste from Kérastase is a new in-salon treatment programme inspired
by skincare rituals. The Chronologiste treatment is the result of years of
research that has uncovered active ingredients namely abyssine and caviar
pearls. Abyssine is a marine polysaccharide produced by micro-algae found in
volcanic cliffs on the floor of the Pacific Ocean. It has profound skin protection
properties, which, when combined with the elements gluco-lipide and
bisabolol, results in deep nourishment of the hair. Caviar pearls are a vital pearl
concentrate inspired by caviar spheres. Combined, these ingredients form an
elixir than benefits hair from scalp to ends.

before and after styling.
