JUST A FEW WORDSFROM OUR EDITOR

IN THIS AUTUMN ISSUE

This summer, I found some time for reflection. I figured that the only reason I never really like the autumn months is that they herald the arrival of winter. However, I came to the realisation that well, they are not really so bad! The temperature settles until it’s kind of perfect... in fact, the sea is still warm!

In the world of beauty and fashion, we are introduced to new collections, and I can start flipping through the magazines while still on the sun lounger, and get excited with images of sleek and elegant, indulgent but minimalist trends. All the dolls and guys lack now is you to reel them in, harness their hair and make it shine and get their nails ready to sparkle in deep luscious colours! Make up is back! No more excuses. Look at that skin first: reverse any summer damage and drill some good advice into those beautiful faces, then paint them to perfection!

Launch into the new season by giving your salon a make-over... Sometimes all you need is a paint job and maybe replacing those beauty posters from 1989. Perhaps we can entice you with some new inviting furniture which will have more customers queuing and clamouring to come in!

So turn up the heat and put those working boots on! Autumn 2014... The Just Beauty team is ready to rumble!

GREAT LENGTHSTHE EDGE YOUR SALON HAS BEEN CRAVINGThe secret for success for a hair salon is to be a cut above the rest and stand out by offering a service which is unique and of excellent quality. Very few hair salons in Malta offer the dream of giving their clients long, beautiful hair almost instantaneously. Clients are also tired of receiving fake hair extensions which after a few washes start to look dull and brittle with resultant matting and discomfort. Allow us then to recommend a product which will not only boost your income, but which will also turn your clients into extension-addicts!

100% Natural Hair ExtensionsWHY CHOOSE

GREAT LENGTHS?Great Lengths uses 100% natural human hair exclusively from Indian Temple Hair: (Fact). It is 100% ethical and 100% traceable hair and only utilises ‘Remy’ hair meaning that the cuticle layers are all facing the same direction from root to end and therefore they not tangle. They blend in superbly and are easy to maintain.

From a stylists’ standpoint, the Great Lengths method of bonding is unique: no other system treats hair in a gentler way because Great Lengths has put an end to gluing, knotting and welding. The modulation technique used here is revolutionary; an extremely durable yet gentle Keratin bonding, which is very similar to that of human hair. Glue bonding, knotting or welding can lead to a vicious cycle resulting in ever-increasing hair loss!

The quality of the hair is unmatched and Great Lengths has been used by many celebrities including Cheryl Cole, Jennifer Lopez, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Aniston and many more.Great Lengths can be used for lengthening, voluming, highlighting or zonal volume application. The vast palette offers over 40 vibrant natural shades to precisely match the colour of your own hair. Strands are available in various lengths ranging from 8 to 30 inches.

ARE YOU A SALON OWNER & WOULD LIKE TO BECOME GREAT LENGTHS CERTIFIED?If your answer is yes, then this is the right opportunity for you. Great Lengths training sessions offer more than just learning how to attach extensions. A successful candidate will learn how to successfully perform hair extension services with high quality hair, having mastered the industry’s most innovative methods and unparalleled marketing support.

Great Lengths Certification will change your professional future.

SHINY, SMOOTH & SLEEK HAIR – EVERYONE’S ULTIMATE DREAMThe manufacturers Lisap Milano, who are renowned for their professional hairdressing solutions, have developed the Lisap Ultimate straightening hair treatment that hairdressers and their clients will love.

One of Lisap Ultimate’s outstanding features is that, it is not simply a straightening product for curly, wavy or frizzy hair. Dry hair, no matter what its texture, has open cuticles which makes it susceptible to humidity and is therefore more likely to frizz. Lisap Ultimate is a solution for people with this type of hair too.

Lisap Ultimate is unlike most products which are available on the market today. While these products tend to aggravate the problem by dehydrating the hair further, and thus making it more fragile, thanks to its Kerasil Complex, Lisap Ultimate is the perfect solution to guarantee perfectly smooth hair that is frizz free.

Lisap Ultimate also has the added advantage that the hairdresser has the option to control the volume or curl while guaranteeing permanent smoothness. This

can be achieved thanks to its exclusive formula and the various ways in which the professional hairdresser can utilise the product. The procedures and the method of use will vary according to the

desired results. This makes it a great tool in the hands of the knowledgeable hairdresser.

Another salon treatment is the Ultimate Blow dry. The hair remains frizz free for up to six washes after this treatment and results in smooth, shiny sleek hair.

Beautimport Ltd. Corinne Farrugia - 21696661 / 99495309

Therefore, briefly, this product can simply

make a difference since:

1. It can be used on any hair type.

2. It can be used to control / create volume.

3. It is effective to reduce the tightness of the curl.

4. It can help achieve beautifully straight hair.

5. It makes the hair healthier and stronger.

This results in SHINY, SLEEK AND SMOOTH HAIR.

Notes on the Kerasil Complex: This includes innovative ingredients such as the three dimensional silicone which actually restructures and conditions the hair.

Keratin is a long chain protein that is a principal component of hair and which binds to the hair structure to make it stronger.

SILK Keratin compacts the hair to give a healthier appearance. Ceramide A2 is similar to the structure found in hair root fibres and as a result the Lisap Ultimate treatment actually strengthens the hair.

Notes on a follow up treatment: Lisap’s Ultimate permanent straight treatment is complimented by the Ultimate cosmetic temporary treatment and clients are advised to use this treatment at home. This consists of three products namely:- a taming shampoo, a mask and a taming heat protective spray.

while the summer is a panacea for a wonderful time and an excellent tan, when it comes to your hair it is really stressful. Summer holidays often lead to lifeless, dry hair without body.

It’s time to repair.

It all starts with using a shampoo, conditioner and mask, which is enriched with soothing and nourishing elements such as the Argan Oil, the real beauty elisir for all types of women.

The hydrating and repairing mask Nashi Argan Deep Infusion contains this miraculous ingredient, together with linseed oil.

A few minutes of application using this mask is enough to obtain effective and long-lasting results and to restore the

ideal structure of your hair after the summer stress.

The hydrating and repairing mask Nashi Argan Deep Infusion contains this miraculous ingredient, together with linseed oil.

A few minutes of application using this mask is enough to obtain effective and long-lasting results and to restore the

Argan Oil comes from a tree called argan. Since its native location is Morocco, it is also often referred to as Moroccon Oil. It is extracted from the kernels of the argan tree to be used as a moisturiser, conditioner and softener for skin and hair. Often dubbed ‘liquid gold’ for its amazing qualities, it contains large amounts of beneficial nutrients, including Vitamin E and fatty acids. When applied correctly its proven results are clear to see and many people are using Argan Oil for their hair as well for their body.

WHY USE ARGAN OIL FOR YOUR HAIR?Argan Oil can be used either on its own or as an ingredient in a shampoo, conditioner or mask treatment. It is effective both ways and contains healing properties that are able to correct the detrimental effects caused by recurrent chemical processing on most people’s hair. In general, chemical processing strips away moisture from the hair, leaving it exposed to weather elements, such as strong winds, low humidity and excessive sunlight.

When this happens, the hair breaks and sometimes with naturally black hair it also turns brown. The only remedy is a treatment that is full of nutrients and there is no other product that is better at nourishing the hair than Nashi Argan Oil.

Argan Oil therefore has a number of benefits when used on hair. It can act as a moisturiser to fight dandruff and avoid a dry scalp. It can also promote the growth of healthy, strong hair as opposed to thin, brittle hair. It can even undo some of the damage brought about by chemical treatments and dyes and can be used to treat split ends. It is an excellent agent for taming frizz and promoting shine and gloss, for softer, more manageable hair. Argan Oil is non-irritating and actually reverses much of the damage caused by artificial chemicals and extensive use of certain hair treatments.

With Argan Oil gaining in popularity, there are a lot of products which claim to be ‘Pure Argan Oil’ and are available on the internet and even in stores. Unfortunately, since Argan Oil is so difficult and time-consuming to extract and process, Argan Oil products are not always genuine and are often diluted or over-processed. Even getting your Argan Oil in Morocco doesn’t guarantee its authenticity.

The biggest consideration of pure Argan Oil is the price. Since it is a rare oil, it does come at a premium. However, it is definitely worth it

As suppliers of genuine Argan Oil we are weary of products which are sold in clear or plastic bottles. Most producers of quality Argan Oil wouldn’t even consider putting this liquid gold in anything other than a dark coloured glass bottle. Light breaks down the oil’s best properties and keeping it inside something dark is the most effective way to store Argan Oil.

ANGEL HAIRCARE, TRIQ IT-TAGHLIM, FGURATEL: 21660795 • [email protected]


LAKMÉ INSPIRED HAIRCARELAKMÉ has developed an incredible line of permanent, professional hair colours under the brand name Collage. All products contain low amounts of ammonia and are PPD free.

Collage is a permanent hair colour which perfectly covers grey hair on any base colour. The product’s cream base includes a Soy Protein Complex which provides shiny, soft, healthy hair. By utilising cationic polymers, it deeply and actively conditions the hair. The positively charged conditioning polymers work with the colorants to improve their penetration. This product also strengthens the capillary fibre and the hair is protected from solar radiation. Clients are able to choose from a colour chart of 120 different shades.

The most recent addition to the Collage range is the Collage+ Intense Creme Hair Color. Due to its High Deposit Color technology, it achieves total highlight intensity and maximum coverage. Through its Sunflohair™ Complex, it guarantees an intense, lasting colour and neutralises free radicals effectively. This also repairs and protects the hair fibre for soft, manageable hair. While cationic polymers actively condition the hair, pyrazol ensures that copper and reddish shades are more intense and long-lasting. Due to its greater colour deposit power, this product allows for a mix with a smaller quantity of base. This brings about an increase in highlight intensity.

Lakme’s Collage Mix, intensifies the highlights of any Collage colour. Collage Clair is a superblonding permanent hair colour which lightens the hair by up to four or five shades without previous bleaching. This product utilises a combination of natural ceramides and beeswax and repairs hair fibre. Collage Redmotion is a colouring system which is uniquely formulated by pigments with a high chromatic colour power and which creates intense, vibrant hair colour for a visible contrast to natural hair.

The Collage range also includes Collage Hydrox, an oxidant in stabilised cream with a pleasant perfume.

Lakme’s Gloss products guarantee correct development of demi-permanent hair colours. While Gloss Developing Emulsion lightens natural hair colour by one level, Gloss Developing Emulsion Long Lasting offers a resilient colour and does not bleach natural hair.

THE FACTS Salon chemical concentrations are unlikely to exceed the established exposure limits. However, according to the Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health entitled ‘Results from a community-based occupational health survey of Vietnamese-American nail salon workers’, the self-reported, work-related health symptoms that nail technicians who were surveyed were experiencing, were reported in significant percentages. These symptoms included skin and respiratory irritation, breathing difficulties, headaches as well as having trouble concentrating.

VISION FILTER PLUS

TECHNOLOGY FOR A SAFER NAIL SALON ENVIRONMENT

Liberty Business Culture Ltd. 21410008 / 21419119 • [email protected] • facebook.com/pronailsmalta

As nail technicians, we often get lost doing what we love most: nail art, nail extensions, using gels or acrylic, filing, shaping, buffing or drilling and we get carried away for hours on end ensuring that our clients’ nails look immaculate before they walk out of the nail salon.

THE SOLUTIONOne of the latest emerging technologies is the Vision Filter Plus Technology, which was designed by the renowned nail brand who

regularly promotes nail education, ProNails. This has proven to be

very popular with professional nail technicians.

The Vision Filter Plus Technology is a simple way to reduce air pollution found in nail salons. The filter works quietly and effectively in order to clean the air from the dangerous gases and particles produced by nail acrylics and UV gels. The Vision Filter Plus is designed to protect all personnel from the pollutants which are emitted and which, although invisible, cause most of the health concerns. The filter catches the pollutants and separates them from the fresh air.

The Vision Filter Plus system efficiently serves up to 300 clients. It has been proven that many nail technicians who experienced asthma and dry mucous problems in the past, have noticed that their problems were greatly reduced after the installation of this system. It has also offered them peace of mind that they are no longer exposed to unhealthy substances.

“It is a fact that in a nail salon environment, workers are exposed to various levels of air contaminants. However, in today’s day and age, we are also lucky to have the proper tools and technologies to reverse this rising hazard.”

THE PROBLEM We know very little about the potential hazards of chemical inhalation that we, nail technicians, are being exposed to on a daily basis. We certainly don’t spend much time thinking about this.

Unless the salon has proper ventilation, breathing different types of chemicals, such as nail polish, glues, solvents and disinfectants for a minimum of eight hours a day, 40 hours a week. This amounts to about 1888 hours (after deducting leave) per year and can result in undesirable health-related symptoms.

POLLAppearing for the very first time in Just Beauty Magazine

The Just Beauty team visited various localities around the island and asked fifty passers-by some salient questions about how they go about deciding which beauty products to buy.

We were interested to find out what motivates them to purchase the products they choose.

How did they get to know about the products?Are beauty products regularly on their shopping list?Do they spend a lot each month?How important is online shopping when it comes to beauty products?

Here is a brief summary of the answers we received:



1. PICK A THEMEDifferent themes work for different kind of salons. It is a good idea to choose a suitable theme which works for you and the space that you have. Address certain issues, such as a dark corner, etc. first.

2. CONSIDER DIVIDING THE SPACE WITH PARTITIONSMaking use of screens or dividers can give your clients more privacy and will help them relax and enjoy their time at the salon. For a more modern trendy look, go for metallic furniture that gives your space a chic and contemporary feel. However, do not limit yourself to what is aesthetically pleasing but also keep in mind comfort and luxury.

3. CHOOSE YOUR COLOUR SCHEMEColour conveys different emotions and physical responses to the body and mind. Pick a colour scheme that features two to three colours and use them in combination throughout your space. Warmer, softer tones combined with wood accents can create a calming atmosphere, whilst the use of metals, glass and more vibrant colours are more appropriate if you would like to create an energetic atmosphere.

4. INTRODUCE TEXTURES AND SUITABLE LIGHTINGAdd different dimensions within a room by making use of different textures or use in combination with more vibrant colours to improve the look of certain areas. Do not stop at one light source but layer your lighting throughout your space. Avoid extremely bright lights, as they may give a sterile feel to the environment.

5. MAXIMIZE YOUR SPACEThe key to making the best use of the space you have, is organisation. Keeping your environment tidy and functional is an ongoing effort that should not be overlooked. Incorporating multi-functional equipment and appropriate furniture will give your salon a more ergonomic and efficient

look. Showcase products where your clients are most likely to see them and make use of unused wall space. Concealed cabinets are a practical way to reduce clutter. Place hooks near hair stations to offer a convenient place for clients to store their bags and jackets.

6. SELECT YOUR PRODUCTSAlthough it is up to you to choose which products you would like to use in your salon, keep in mind that some clients may have a preference for certain brands. Make sure you carry brands that are available at successful salons around you and also carry out your own research to find effective products that will work well for your particular client base.

7. UPGRADE AND MAINTAINMake sure that you keep your salon in tip-top shape. Having a jam-packed calendar means your equipment will suffer from wear and tear. If you have to replace furniture or equipment, make sure that you stick to your salon theme. Having one item which is an eye sore in your salon can result in a breakdown of the decor and deter from an otherwise visually pleasing space.

SALON DÉCOR MADE EASYWhile owning your own salon means that you are able to design it in a way that appeals to you, the one thing that is most important to keep in mind is your client. Your salon must convey a specific image which is professional and which will be memorable to the client, leaving them with a positive feeling.

There are a number of interior decorating aspects which one should keep in mind when it comes to choosing colours, themes and lighting for your salon. Here are some suggestions:

A 'REBIRTH' FOR AVANT GARDE SALON IN FGURACeline Falzon, is a well-known personality due to her regular appearances in the local tele serial Deja Vu. However, some people may not be aware that Celine is also a talented and creative hair stylist who has had her own salon in Fgura for the past twelve years.

This year, senior stylist and salon owner Celine decided that it was about time to give the salon a new look: and what a transformation it has been!

The old yellow and blue split level curves of the old salon have been replaced with a wide, open plan salon in grey, black and white. A touch of green is provided by the plants which soften the modern lines. Glass partitions create private spaces and glimmering subtle light emanates from the AVANTE GARDE sign inside the salon.

Celine was very selective in her choice of equipment. She went for the best she could find. She opted for wide, comfortable backwash chairs that have mechanisms to raise clients’ legs, while the hairdressers wash their hair or provide head massage. Clients can relax while literally ‘putting their feet up’.

The matching styling chairs are height adjustable so that stylists are at ease when working. Celine even chose smooth glide trolleys and opted for glossy black and white furniture.

The beauty section has been moved to a more prominent place and the beauty salon now provides a more varied range of services.

The company which provided her with the furnishings for her salon is the same Dutch company which supplies equipment to world famous hairdressers and salon chains.

From start to finish, this complete decor transformation took only ten days since Celine engaged the services of a team of experts who worked round the clock to ensure that she would be able to re-open as planned.

Celine also chooses to work with the brands that have given her the best performance and results. Celine is herself an educator in advanced cuts and colours for Beauty Tech. She regularly attends training seminars which are organised locally or abroad, often by the manufacturers of the brands she uses.

Regular clients who have entered the newly refurbished salon have commented on the comfort and welcoming atmosphere she has managed to create.

CHECK YOUR EQUIPMENTEquipment in beauty salons are subjected to considerable wear and tear. It is therefore advisable to set up a system which encourages you to go through all electrical equipment in your facility on a regular basis. Make sure that your devices, such as depilation equipment, hair dryers, wax pots and sunbeds are in good condition and are SAFE TO USE.

Only make use of equipment that you have received trained for. If you suspect that an item might be dangerous, take all the necessary precautions and eliminate the risk. Make sure that your equipment is tested by a qualified electrician at least once a year, together with regular inspections to detect simple faults, such as frayed cables or cracked plugs.

KNOW YOUR FUSESIf an electrical appliance should fail, it can draw heavy current from the main supply that may generate heat and cause fire. To ensure that this does not happen, make sure that all your electrical appliances are fitted with fuses of the correct rating.

To guarantee the best possible protection, it is advisable to have fuses that blow at a current loading which is just over the normal current. Different appliances have different power-ratings and draw different amounts of current, so fuses should vary accordingly. Also, it is important to note that fuses come in a large variety of ratings.

KEEP IT SIMPLEFollowing everyday simple rules when it comes to electrical safety is the way to go. Provide adequate sockets at each workstation, avoid adapters and the overloading of sockets. Ensure that all your hot or cold pipes are suitably bonded and earthed and make sure that none of your employees are misusing any piece of equipment. Keep a record of all the tests and inspections which you carry out, so as to keep track of all your devices. Fit all work stations with well-maintained and adequate lighting.

Ensure that your salon is fitted with fire extinguishers that are replaced regularly as they will otherwise expire. Clean up any spills or messes as soon as they happen. This is important so as to avoid any unnecessary risks. Unplug all equipment before cleaning or repairing.

Move flammable objects away from electrical sources and keep in mind that certain chemicals in some of your products are highly flammable.

Carefully follow the instructions of use for both your electrical equipment and your products.

KEEP SAFE

ELECTRICAL SAFETY FOR BEAUTY PROFESSIONALS

Providing health and safety guidelines for the electrical equipment in your salon will ensure the well-being of both your clients and yourself. If your electrical equipment is not properly looked after, it might become a hazard that may cause serious consequences for people’s health and possibly lead to liability. It is therefore important to stay on top of things and to keep the following information at hand.

It is important to be aware of your responsibilities and to ensure that you work in a safe environment at all times.
