WOW HAIR
For perfect winter tresses Zoe Irwin,
Wellaflex Silvikrin style director,
(pictured below) reckons on-trend
up-do’s are the way forward.
TOOLS FOR THE JOB:
Corioliss Slimline Titanium Crimper –
An ideal hair tool for creating this look. It
has variable heat settings, so is suitable for
all hair types, plus the titanium plates mean
no snagging on the hair and easy crimping
with one press.
Sassoon Solutions S-Curl – The perfect
lazy-girl’s tool for creating foolproof
tousled waves. Where tongs make perfect
ringlets, and can be a little time consuming
and tricky, these ‘S’ shaped plates just clamp
onto sections of hair to make large, even
waves – a bit like a giant crimper (but no
80s effect here)!
Sassoon style experts recommend adding
volume by backcombing roots with a pin

technology. For those not quite in the
know, this means shine enhancing, so
perfect for a sparkling finish, even when it’s
dull and flat outside! You also get both a
straightening and volumising nozzle for
foolproof styling, while the zebra and
leopard skin designs make this a hot
contender for any ‘Most Stylish on the
Shelf’ awards too!
Limited Edition ghd Precious – Surely
the most lusted-after girly must-have there
is. With a black and silver baroque effect
ghd IV Styler, a travel hairdryer and a
heat-resistant roll bag to carry them in, it’s
seriously box-ticking. And try as I might, I
still can't find a set of irons to out-do these
classics. It’s hair perfecting eye candy – a
winter blues no-brainer!
MEN’S SHAVERS
Men love gadgets – so you can guarantee that electrical
grooming wizardry will go down well with the male
customers. Whether they keep their chops super-smooth
or stylishly stubbled, there’s something for everyone.
TOOLS FOR THE JOB:
Braun PocketGo Shaver – If there’s such a thing as a
cute shaver, this is it. Its dinky design is perfect for men on
the go; it runs on two AA batteries (which
means it’s travel-friendly); it can be cleaned
with good old tap water run over
the head, and it has SmartFoil
technology – which basically means
it gets all the hairs growing in all
different directions.
Philips Nivea for Men Shaver – A
smart collaboration if ever there was
one, this rechargeable electric shaver
automatically dispenses Nivea shaving
conditioner so guys get nourished skin
during and after the shave. It’s also
waterproof, so works in the shower, and
HAIR REMOVAL
With so many new launches in the fuzz-free sector, there really is no
excuse for stubble. Make sure your customers are LBD-ready at all times
with long-lasting hair-free skin.
TOOLS FOR THE JOB:
Veet Touchably Smooth Mains Rechargeable Epilator – I am a
resolute ambassador for the epilator. Forget expensive waxing, stubbly
shaving and annoying tweezing. This gadget ensures smooth skin that
lasts for ages – and it’ll catch even short hairs with its two precision
heads, so there’s no need to ‘grow’ hair beforehand. Admittedly, it is a
little eye-watering first time around, but make sure customers stick
with it. The cycle of hair growth means it’s never as painful as the first
time. This one also comes with a pre-epilation comfort spray to make
the whole thing even kinder to skin. Genius.
Bliss Philips Bikini Perfect Deluxe – Another excellent
collaboration. Spa favourite Bliss, and electrical supremo Philips
thought up this lady-perfecting kit, because hey, what girl doesn’t want
hair to be perfect ‘down-there’? This gadget has six attachments
including a micro-shaver to clean up edges, a graded trimmer for neat
to ultra-neat finishes and a micro trimmer that can even be used for
brows. Oh and it works in and out of the
shower. And yes, boyfriends will
appreciate the results too...!
the Flex Tracker function tracks all the
awkward bits of the face for what Philips
promises is a seriously close, irritation-free shave.
BaByliss Pro Forfex Professional Trimmer – Every
boy’s must-have, clippers aren’t just on Craig David’s
shopping list! This one is designed for maximum comfort
and versatility. So yes, it does that eye-wateringly perfect
designer goatee, but it can also do run-of-the-mill beard
trimming and all-over head shaving.
