artists, innovators and educators spreading a message of inclusivity, philanthropy and
a long-standing commitment to the professional hairdresser. It remains a family-owned

Planet us
AS CREATIVE HEAD CELEBRATES 20 years in print, Paul Mitchell is marking its own
momentous occasion: four decades devoted to developing exceptional products,
supporting incredible people and protecting our precious planet. So we couldn’t resist
the opportunity to join forces and big up all that matters to the birthday brand – and
everything that makes it unique.
Join us as we explore the six wonders of the Paul Mitchell world…

CREATIVE HEAD PARTNERSHIP
“Producing the highest quality professional hair care available
is simply not enough. Paul Mitchell is (and always will be)
dedicated to making our world a more beautiful place”
JOHN PAUL DEJORIA, CO-FOUNDER
1980 Paul Mitchell and John Paul DeJoria create
the first Paul Mitchell products. The Conditioner is the first
professional leave-in conditioner on the market
Vidal Sassoon enlisted
Paul Mitchell to train his
staff in his first
US salon
The Artist
JOHN PAUL MITCHELL SYSTEMS has
always been committed to pushing the
envelope when it comes to hair artistry.
From the inception of The Shag and the
idea of hair sculpting (both born out of
the creativity of Paul Mitchell himself)
to today’s award-winning brand artists,
including 2020 NAHA (North American
Hairstyling Awards) winner, Lucie Doughty
for Editorial/Session Stylist of the Year and
Daytime Emmy Award winner Noogie Thai,
John Paul Mitchell Systems is a brand that
fully supports the artistic individuality of
each and every hairdresser around the
globe. It provides the tools and products
to allow every stylist to become an artist.
CREATIVE HEAD PARTNERSHIP
“The Artist inspired the team
to create something really
sculptural. The look is strong
and distinctive, yet playful
and not too rigid”
JONATHAN SOONS,
CREATIVE AMBASSADOR, HEADMASTERS
“I’ve been dying to create
this style, based on the
Hitchcock look from
Alexander McQueen
A/W05. It's vintage but
sexy and fashion-forward
at the same time”
JONATHAN SOONS
John Paul Mitchell
Systems only makes
professional-level
products
The Professional
FROM ITS INCEPTION John Paul
Mitchell Systems has always
supported the professional. So much
so, that in 2007 co-founder and
chairman of the board, John Paul
DeJoria, added his majority stake
of the business into his family trust,
ensuring that the brand remains
only within the professional beauty
industry for 360 years.
1980 The first Paul Mitchell products hit the US market. The packaging was
black and white because colour was too costly to print
1987 Paul Mitchell products arrive in the UK
“This character is all about
education, so I thought it
could be a university or college
student who is dressing as the
woman she wants to be. She’s
forward-thinking, maybe a bit of
an activist. When you reference
an era you don’t want to make
it exact, so we used elements
to get that feel of an old, ’70s
Britain but that still feels fresh”
CREATIVE HEAD PARTNERSHIP
JONATHAN SOONS
The Messenger
WHEN IT COMES to the business of hairdressing, John Paul Mitchell
Systems has you covered. Multi award-winning global artistic director
Robert Cromeans originally created the Color Bar concept that has
since been replicated by brands and salons across the globe, to bring
the theatre of professional hair colour to life. With business systems
and in-salon concepts for every area of the salon, this is a company
that will help you keep score to do more.
The Guardian
NO ANIMAL TESTING. Never
have, never will. Globally. Not
all brands have the same
ironclad assurance as John
Paul Mitchell Systems, but it’s
a deeply ingrained philosophy
for the brand – almost all of
its products across colour
and styling being 100 per
cent vegan.
“This is classic catwalk
hair, a big blow-out to
complement the bunny
ears. The key to this look
is a great set”
JONATHAN SOONS
1990 Paul Mitchell receives a Humanitarian Award from
PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals)
“This is a nod to idealism,
romance, youthfulness – but it
has a quirkiness. Rather than
having a sharp parting and
topknot, you have this faceframing
softness. It’s a classic
shape with a slight oddness”
JONATHAN SOONS
CREATIVE HEAD PARTNERSHIP
In 2017, Variety named
John Paul DeJoria its
Philanthropist of
the Year
The Philanthropist
IT’S COOL TO BE KIND. A culture of giving is a
cornerstone of the John Paul Mitchell Systems
way of life. Co-founder John Paul DeJoria is a UN
Goodwill Ambassador as well as sitting on the
board and getting hands on with charities including
Mineseeker, Grow Appalachia and Sea Shepherd.
Everywhere that he, his daughter and vice-chair
Michaeline and co-owner Angus Mitchell go, the
message is the same. He does this on behalf of
hairdressers across the globe.
“I’ve got a mild obsession with
Pre-Raphaelite hair at the
moment, so I created a really
romantic, almost melancholic
look. At the same time, you have
to have an edge to it to keep
it modern – that's where the
products really help”
JONATHAN SOONS
2005 Paul Mitchell begins working with American Forests Global ReLeaf campaign,
assisting in the planting of trees in Europe and the US
1998 John Paul DeJoria and his daughter
Alexis travel with the Conservation Society
to protest against the Canadian Seal Hunt

AS A BRAND WITH hippy roots, John Paul Mitchell Systems cares
deeply about protecting and preserving the world around us. From the
sustainable solar-powered Awapuhi Farm on the Big Island in Hawaii,
to ensuring that all photo shoots are carbon-offset, John Paul Mitchell
Systems works with numerous global charities including Sea Shepherd
and Waterkeeper Alliance that maintain everything from our waterways
to our wildlife.
Reforest’Action and Tea Tree
joined forces to plant 750,000
trees by the end of last year.
The next target? One million
trees by the end of 2022!

WHILE CREATIVE HEAD celebrates its 20th birthday, it’s a
special birthday year for the Most Wanted Awards too. Two decades
after that first lunchtime bash at London’s Sugar Reef, things have
altered just a smidge. Now we also have The It List to recognise emerging
talent, and across both competitions there are an incredible 20 awards handed
out in front of some 700-odd guests at a stellar landmark venue (Natural History
Museum! Tate Modern!). It’s all just a little bit extra… and that’s because we believe
wholeheartedly that you, your work and your businesses are a little bit extra, too!
Both competitions celebrate the versatility of this fabulous industry – the salon
team, the individual, the session world, the business brain – because we have always
felt it vital to showcase the breadth of opportunities and success hairdressing
brings. So, this year, we’re cranking up the dial to 11 to ensure the 20th Most
Wanted Awards are the best yet, and that The It List spotlights the brightest of
the next generation. Turn to page 48 and consider what one of
those awards could do for your career, your team’s energy,
your salon’s business. Your name? Well, it might just be
etched on one of those trophies come 7 September…

The #SydSquad was in full force at London Fashion Week, creating big hair
at Matty Bovan – and we mean BIG – with full fringes and shaggy texture
groomed to perfection using the BaByliss 9000 Cordless straightener, followed
by the BaByliss PRO 25mm tong for a hint of movement.
The Central Saint Martins MA Fashion showcase was a star-studded event,
celebrating the 20th anniversary of the extraordinary partnership of L’Oréal
Professionnel and the iconic college. It was all hands on deck backstage, with
Richard Phillipart’s L’Oréal Professionnel Porfolio Team prepping the hair
of a staggering 106 models. The base look was one of nomadic wanderers,
exaggerating the models’ natural texture.
Over at Bora Aksu, the muse was Swedish abstract artist and mystic, Hilma af
Klint. Daniel Martin for L’Oréal Professionnel got busy with the Steampod 3.0
to create Pre-Raphaelite hair, styling flat waves that felt super airy.
David Koma teamed up with Aveda’s Jon Reyman for a sleek-meets-street
look, with Pure Abundance Style Prep sprayed liberally throughout the hair
before being dried flat and tucked tightly behind the ears.
Eugene Souleiman for Wella Professionals crafted an ear-framing take
on a multi-textured ponytail at Preen by Thornton Bregazzi. With clothes
inspired by the ’70s classic Don’t Look Now (including the film’s signature red
mackintosh), the finished look was girly and romantic with an off-kilter twist.
Erdem found inspiration in Sir Cecil Beaton’s photography, where the
roaring ’20s were in full effect. 2019 Most Wanted Session Stylist, Anthony
Turner, used up to half a tube of L’Oréal Professionnel TECNI.ART Fix Max
gel on each model to create the signature finger waves of the era. The Dyson
Supersonic hair dryer Professional edition was used to set everything in place.
OG supermodel Jerry Hall was the inspiration for the playful ’80s look at
Olivia Rubin, where ghd UK brand ambassador Zoë Irwin created swoops of
cascading curls using the new ghd helios hairdryer for soft volume.
Meanwhile, Mark Fast returned to the swinging ’60s, uniting a rock and
roll edge with preppy finishes. Leading the TIGI International Creative Team
was Maria Kovacs, who used the models’ natural hair to create cool, natural
movement with a focus on texture.

WHY DID YOU WANT TO BE A HAIRDRESSER?
Ever since I was young I loved
playing with dolls’ heads.
I was obsessed with
tonging, plaiting and
restyling hair –
so I always knew
I wanted to be a
hairdresser. I started
working weekends
at Headmasters and
assisting as much
as possible. I then
went on to do my
apprenticeship
with Headmasters
and have never
looked back.

WHAT HAVE BEEN YOUR HIGHLIGHTS SO FAR?
I’ve been lucky enough to win two awards with Headmasters:
the House of Innovation Award as an apprentice, and the
Headmasters Christine Sanders Future Star Award in
January. From being mentored by the Headmasters Creative
Ambassadors to being given the opportunity to shoot in
a professional studio with photographers and make-up
artists to bringing my creation to life, it was such a great
experience. Also meeting Headmasters creative director
Andrew Barton was a massive highlight!
WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 10 YEARS’ TIME?
I would either like to be a top stylist/manager for
Headmasters or I’d love to own my own salon.
WHAT WOULD BE YOUR DREAM GIG IN HAIRDRESSING?
A celebrity hairdresser to the stars, travelling
to concerts and festivals and celebrity
events around the world!

FRY + DEAN HACKNEY
Housed in the former Grace & Thorn fl orist you’ll fi nd the fi rst salon venture
for former Percy & Reed creatives, Billy Fry and Ellenora Dean. Operating
across two fl oors, the design objective was to ensure both team and
clients feel utterly relaxed and comfortable. As is often the case there was
a tight budget to play with, but it was vital the salon had a high end fi nish.
Luckily friends and family helped out, as Billy’s mum knows a thing or two
about salons (that’ll be Strands Hairdressing’s Pauline Howe). Darker tones
on the walls and textured natural wood help bring a evoke the feel of an
enveloping sitting room, steering the vibe away from anything too clinical.
You’ll fi nd L’Oréal Professionnel, ghd and evo on the shelves and, when
adding fi nal touches, the duo both slotted in pieces that from their own
homes for an authentic personal touch. Lots of the soft furnishings are
from Seletti, a brand adored by the pair for its high end feel but tongue-incheek
aesthetic – in keeping with the Fry + Dean ethos.

THE BUSINESS EDIT
HOW WILL RISING WAGES
AFFECT YOUR SALON?
FROM APRIL THE government will be
raising the National Minimum Wage (NMW)
for 21 to 24 year olds from £7.70 to £8.20, and
the National Living Wage (NLW) for over 25s
from £8.21 to £8.72. So how can you prepare?
“The upcoming rises in the NMW and
NLW will undoubtedly put further pressure
on salon finances,” says Hilary Hall, chief
executive of the NHBF. “Employers can be
fined £20,000 for each employee who is not
paid the correct amount and we urge salon
owners to ensure that wages are correct and
to take advice before making any deductions.
If you get something wrong you are liable,
not your accountant or payroll provider.”
Robert Eaton, creative director at Russell
Eaton in Yorkshire, believes the impact will
be strong when it comes to graduate and
newly qualified stylists. “In some cases we
may be forced to make decisions between
supporting and continuing to employ
and educating several team members at
this level,” he says. “Although a higher
minimum wage may sound appealing to
them, it could actually mean less positions
are available, resulting in fewer people
benefiting from a strong salon-based
foundation within the industry.”
However, according to Louise Howard-
Long, owner of Architect Hair in Leeds, this
wage increase is actually an opportunity.
“To elevate the perception of our profession,
we must pay better wages. We already find
it difficult to recruit so we must offer more
incentives.” she says. “If a salon is not in
a position where it can pay better wages
when required by government there are
only two reasons: one is greed on the part of
the owners, and the other is a poor business
plan. Also, I have found a raise in prices
increases client numbers – clients will pay
well for great hair and good service.”
KERRY MATHER
KJM SALONS
“If we want hairdressing
to be taken seriously as a
worthwhile, rewarding career
then we need to pay better
salaries in line with other
industries. My stylists are on a
healthy commission structure
and I regularly employ
apprentices that are over 20
and 21 and although I can pay
them apprentice rate for one
year, after that they go onto
NMW. We’ve had great success
with the ‘older’ apprentices –
they work harder, adapt to the
job and skillset quicker and
swiftly start contributing and
essentially paying their way.”

NEED A LITTLE KNOW-HOW TO
NAVIGATE AND GROW YOUR
BUSINESS? FREDDIE BANKS,
GENERAL MANAGER UK & IRELAND
FOR KÉRASTASE AND SHU UEMURA
ART OF HAIR, IS HERE TO SHARE
SOME INSIDER KNOWLEDGE…
WHEN MANAGING A team of people we are
constantly faced with the question: “What
happens if we invest in developing our people
and then they leave?” But why not flip it on
its head and think: “What happens if we
don’t invest in developing our people and
then they stay?”
Today, investing in your team’s
development is no longer an option, it’s a
must. And it’s not just about developing their
skills to be the best creative cutter or master of all
complex colour techniques; there is now a need
to prioritise wellbeing in the workplace. With that
in mind, what are you currently doing to invest in
your team’s wellbeing and positive mindset?
I have co-created with my colleagues a ‘Team
Values Charter’ that we want to abide by and be
known for. For my team, it’s People First – above
anything in regards to the business; we always
commit to putting the people’s wellbeing in the
team first, without exception. To help embed this
culture, we celebrate any example where the team
has worked with a People First mindset. You can’t
underestimate celebrating your team’s successes
beyond business goals – this is what connects
people the most. People who are happy at work
are the best asset, they deliver the best customer
service, will have more rebookings and are able
to think more creatively in their job. So, are you
making happy investments?
THREE TOP TIPS FOR HAPPY INVESTMENTS:
•Be aware of how happy your team is now. Take
a look – you can tell a lot through body language
versus their takings this week.
•Co-create a Team Values Charter. If everyone
takes part, it will be more readily adopted.
•Live and breathe this mentality and celebrate it.

IT’S OFFICIAL: the National
Living Wage (NLW) for
over-25s is set to rise by
6.2 per cent to £8.72 per
hour in April this year,
and the government plans
to increase it to £10.50 by
2024. NHBF director Tina
Beaumont-Goddard warns
that salons can expect
more increases, adding:
“We’re also sending an early
warning that from April
2021, employees over the age
of 23 will be entitled to the
NLW, and by 2025 those over
21 will move to the NLW.”
NATIONAL MINIMUM WAGE
The National Minimum
Wage (NMW) rates will
also go up in April this year,
says Tina. “If you don’t
pay your staff the correct
rates, you may risk a fine
of up to £20,000 and public
naming and shaming by
the government.”
ON THE UP
THE NATIONAL LIVING WAGE AND NATIONAL MINIMUM WAGE ARE BOTH ON THE RISE
THIS YEAR. DON’T BE CAUGHT UNAWARES – GET HELP WITH THE NHBF
THE NEW NMW RATES
• A 6.5 per cent increase to
£8.20 for those aged 21 to 24.
• A 4.9 per cent increase to
£6.45 for those aged 18 to 20.
• A 4.6 per cent increase to
£4.55 for under-18s.
“These increases will put
further pressure on salon
finances, as wages are such
a high proportion of costs
for service industries,” says
Tina. An expert guide to the
NMW and NLW is available
free to NHBF members at
nhf.info/nmw-guide
APPRENTICESHIP RATES
“The apprenticeship rate
will rise from £3.90 to
£4.15,” adds Tina. “However,
don’t be caught out by the
apprenticeship pay rules. An
apprentice over the age of 19
who is in the second year of
their apprenticeship must
be paid the age-appropriate
NMW or NLW.”
Make sure you keep a
record of staff birthdays, and
prepare accordingly for staff
who will be moving from one
bracket to the next during
the year. NHBF members
can get an in-depth guide at
nhf.info/employing-people
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
“Don’t rely on an accountant
to alert you to wage rises
or underpayments,” warns
Tina. “If you get something
wrong, you will be liable –
not your payroll provider. So
make sure that everyone you
employ is correctly paid.”
COPING WITH THE COST
“It’s vital to create a cash
flow forecast to control your
finances,” adds Tina. “You
can also take steps to boost
income, such as increasing
retail sales and taking
advantage of free or low-cost
marketing techniques.”

FRAMEWORK APPRENTICE
ROLES END IN ENGLAND
THE NHBF HAS welcomed the end of
Framework apprenticeships in England,
which will no longer be available after
31 July 2020.
“Unfortunately, they had led to double
standards when compared with the new
Standards (Trailblazer) apprenticeships,”
said Caroline Larissey, director of quality &
standards at the NHBF. “Some apprentices
were not ‘salon-ready’ at the end of their
Framework apprenticeship.”
The end-point assessment for Standards
apprenticeships provides a robust
standardised test (similar to an employer
skills test) that ensures the apprentice has
reached industry-standard competence.
“In addition, the Level 2 hair professional:
hairdressing/barbering Standards are set at
a higher standard than the old Framework
apprenticeship, equating to a Level 2.5,”
added Caroline. “A Level 3 advanced and
creative hair professional progression route
has also just become available.”
NHBF Community
Awards return
THE FANTASTIC WORK that salons and barber
shops do to support charities and their local
communities will be celebrated at the NHBF’s
Community Awards 2020.
Entries close on 6 March, and finalists will
be invited to a high-profile reception and
presentation event at the Houses of Parliament
on 6 May. NHBF president Ian Egerton, said:
“The Community Awards were launched last
year and proved a great success. We were
blown away by the entries we received. This is
another great opportunity for MPs to gain an
insight into the invaluable and unsung contribution
made by the hair and beauty sector.”

NHBF LAUNCHES COLOUR
CHECK CAMPAIGN
THE NHBF HAS launched a ‘Colour Check’ campaign that asks for salons
to carry out patch testing as and when required to protect clients and reduce
the risk of legal or insurance claims. Open to NHBF members, Colour Check
aims to:
• Raise industry standards by encouraging salons to put client safety first
• Give public and industry recognition to salons that carry out the tests
Salons that sign up to the campaign will receive a mystery shop to check
allergy alert tests are being carried out correctly, and that hair colourants
containing PPD are not used on under-16s. If successful, the salon will
receive a Colour Check salon window sticker and logo to use on their website
and other materials. They will also be featured in the ‘salon search’ area of
the NHBF website.
“It’s time to recognise the professionalism of salons up and down the
country who comply with allergy alert test requirements and to encourage
those who don’t to get on board,” said Ian Egerton, NHBF president.
“Colour Check status will also help clients choose a salon run by committed
professionals so they can be confident they’re in safe hands.”

Advanced Trailblazer
Apprenticeships begin
A LEVEL 3 ADVANCED and creative hair professional Trailblazer Apprenticeship is now
available, approved by the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education with
maximum funding of £5,000. Caroline Larissey, director of quality and standards at the
NHBF and member of the Trailblazer Apprenticeship steering group, said: “It has been a
real challenge, but we now have a Level 3 qualification that is right for our industry.”
Wendy Cummings, chair of the Trailblazer Apprenticeship steering group for hair
professionals, added: “We now have a world class apprenticeship standard and endpoint
assessment plan that really raises the bar and allows an apprentice to demonstrate
their professional skills, knowledge flair and creativity. However, despite our best efforts
and a request for a review, the funding band may mean providers will struggle.”

so knowing this, knowing
your team and allowing
things to change and grow
will benefit you all. If you are
flexible with your team, they
will be flexible back.
KEN’S DIAGNOSIS
THE IDEA OF HAVING a receptionist
merely to take bookings and meet and
greet clients is a luxury that many salons
struggle to justify financially. Many are parttime
workers and are rarely focused on their
real role.
Meeting, greeting and booking
appointments is merely part of the role, and
for this you need an outgoing person with
great people skills and empathy to establish
and meet the needs of clients whilst making
them feel special and important.
The real role of a receptionist Tracy, is to
grow their salon’s results. Reception is one of
the key result areas in a salon and has many
key performance indicators which can, and
should, have both minimum performance
standards and aspirational goals set for them.
Here are just a few of the areas that should
have these set: salon utilisation, individual
stylist utilisation, enquiry conversion,
new client percentage, rebook percentage,
upgrades, frequency of client visit, new
client retention percentage, over the counter
retail sales, lost client re-engagement, and
there are many more.
So how does one go about setting these
performance standards and goals?
The first thing to do is collate accurate
“I’m new to hair but I’ve
been working on front
of house for nearly six
months and I’d love to
know what I could be
doing to make it as perfect
as possible for our guests,
while supporting the team
and boosting the business”
TRACY AUGUSTUS
P. KAI HAIR, MARKET DEEPING,
LINCOLNSHIRE
numbers for the area you wish to focus on.
Let’s say salon utilisation. Presumably you
already know the utilisation percentage
that you need to reach breakeven and this
could be set as your minimum performance
standard. Now look at your current
utilisation, which is hopefully above your
breakeven, and create a new, aspirational
goal that you would like to achieve. Your goal
must be specific, measurable, achievable,
results focused and you must set a time
when you either want to achieve it by or will
reassess the situation.
This type of goal can then
become the responsibility of your
receptionist(s) and you could
consider offering some form of
incentive when the goal is achieved.
You can then set goals for other
areas mentioned above. I would
suggest focusing on growing
one or two areas at a time
but minimum performance
standards should always be
set for all areas.
A responsible, resultsdriven
reception team
can play a key role in
growing a salon’s results.

DID YOU KNOW…
A CUSTOMER USING YOUR LOYALTY
SYSTEM WILL SPEND MORE, NOT LESS
LOYALTY-BUILDING: it’s one of the top three
priorities for salon businesses (right up there
with getting new customers and getting great
staff). When you know your clients are loving
their experience with you, it means they are
coming back more often, spending more and
generating referrals.
Let’s look at the average bill for a second.
We broke down the average spend of clients
going to 5,000 salons in the UK. You could
be forgiven for thinking that gifting clients
treatments or products would ultimately be
a loss for the books, even if it was a win for
client retention. But we found those who
were engaged in the Phorest Treatcard loyalty
programme were not spending less visit-onvisit,
they were spending on average 28 per
cent more. Imagine the potential revenue boost
you could get if you got more clients engaged
with your loyalty system!
But always be sure to add value rather than
a discount. If your client is already paying for
a premium service each time they come, why
would you offer them a discount or free version
of that service? Instead, use the opportunity to
introduce them to an add-on that they would
potentially spend on in the future. Second,
promote your loyalty programme by making it
as visible as possible. Have it on your website,
give your clients keyring cards and encourage
them to download your salon app.
According to Frank di Lusso of Frank di Lusso
Hair, the Treatcard programme with Phorest
is a pure revenue driver for his business: “Our
clients love the Treatcard, simple as that. They
like getting rewards rather than discounts. And
Treatcards have generated more than £35,000
in revenue since we started using them.”
In short, loyalty programmes are a nobrainer,
as long as you pick the right one.

WE’RE DREAMING OF GOLDEN TONES AND FRESH SHADES FOR SPRING WITH THESE
LATEST LOOKS FROM WELLA PROFESSIONALS
IN ASSOCIATION WITH
GOLDEN DAZE
It’s the final, finishing touches that make all the difference when it comes to colour. “I won’t let my clients with lightened hair leave the salon without
a toning or glazing service,” says Zoë Irwin. As a two-time winner of the Most Wanted Creative Talent Award, we’re inclined to trust her opinions when
it comes to next-level finishes. These glazes are a diluted wash of colour that pick up areas of pre-lightened hair and bring them to life. “I’ve lost
count of the number of times a client has asked me to leave their pre-lightened hair ‘raw’ because it has that freshly lightened look they want,”
she says, “but when I add a bespoke glaze they are amazed at the difference to their colour, at how much more beautiful and premium it looks.”
Inspired by blonde icons Brigitte Bardot and Monica Vitti, and a love of the dreamy
haze of ’70s photography, Zoë has created a new blonde glazing menu for Wella
Professionals using Illumina Color. Her role as UK colour trend expert is one that allows
her to constantly innovate, experimenting with the latest products and tracking interest
in numerous other colour fi elds to predict what’s next in hair. “Illumina Color is my absolute
favourite product for glazing to create natural, sheer and luminous hair colour with a
soft, diffused look,” she adds.

Four new shades have joined the Illumina Color

are set to expand the already much-loved cool
blonde range, which uses Microlight technology
for a luminous, sheer colour result. It contains
Wella Professionals’ most advanced technology
to help prevent hair damage, and absolutely no
animal-derived ingredients.
10/81 – Great for: lightening natural hair up to 3

9/19 – Great for: gently neutralising golden hues

when toning pre-lightened hair. Use on natural
hair to achieve natural beige blondes
9/59 – Great for: toning natural hair levels 7 and
above for a delicate, warmer raspberry hue

My favourite way to lighten hair is freehand using a French balayage

THE COLOUR CLINIC IS OPEN…
EVERY ISSUE WE TACKLE A COLOUR CONUNDRUM WHICH IS FRUSTRATING COLOURISTS UP AND DOWN THE COUNTRY,
WITH THE HELP OF WELLA’S COLOUR CREATIVE GUEST ARTISTS. SHARON COX FROM SANRIZZ TAKES ISSUE WITH TIMING
“People’s lives are so busy and so the whole scenario of people not having time to come
to the salon means I always feel like I’m having to say to my teams ‘speed up, you’re too
slow’. I’m a woman in business with a family and I have lots to do, so I get it, and what
we get as a result is people doing their colour at home. That’s always a massive issue
for hairdressers because it’s such a nightmare to correct. My message is always about
the journey in what we do, and part of that is time management. I think of my clients who
previously had time to spare would happily spend all day in the salon. Now, 10 years down the
line, those clients have to pick up kids and are much busier, so we really need to be aware of that time
issue. Offering express colour services like No Strings Attached Colour for more regular visits, but less time
spent in the chair each time, helps. To stop clients from reaching for box dyes, and then having to spend
twice as long repairing the colour, we need to put them on a colour journey that they understand. Put the
time in at the beginning – and schedule colour appointments in between to maintain it. Once clients start
on their journey and are committed then we can do those quick appointments they want.”

The It List, shining a spotlight on emerging hairdressing talents aged
30 and under, joined the Most Wanted Awards in 2010. The fi rst
ever glittering ceremony was hosted by Jimmy Carr and held at
Fashion Week venue the Royal Horticultural Halls in London. Our
fi ve It List winners included Christopher Appleton, whom judges
– including Professor Louise Wilson from Central Saint Martins,
designer and author Doris Lockhart, fashion historian Caroline Cox
and the beauty directors of ELLE, Marie Claire and Tatler – awarded
the title One To Watch. Christopher is now based in Los Angeles
and hairdresser to Kim Kardashian West and Jennifer Lopez, so
they clearly knew what they were talking about…

MAKE A
SPLASH!
DRY, FINE HAIR WILL LAP UP THIS
NEW LAUNCH FROM JOICO
CREATIVE HEAD ADVERTORIAL
*When using HydraSplash Shampoo, Conditioner, and Leave-in, or HydraSplash Shampoo and Gelée Masque
PARCHED WINTER HAIR, savaged by central heating, attacked by
wind and rain? Frizz, split ends, colour damage, over-styling and
breakage… You feel your clients’ pain. And of course, you know it
doesn’t have to be like this.
Launching in salons this month, the new HydraSplash collection
from JOICO provides 24-hour hydration* for fine to medium
hair, replenishing moisture, shine and softness without weighing
hair down.
The luxurious lather of HydraSplash Hydrating Shampoo
(300ml/10.1fl oz) swiftly removes residue without stripping away
important moisture, leaving hair clean, soft and healthy-looking.
Dense, overly creamy conditioners simply leave fine hair flat
and lifeless. HydraSplash Hydrating Conditioner (250ml/8.5fl oz)
detangles and restores elasticity with a lightweight formula that
won’t drag hair down.
The unique HydraSplash Hydrating Gelée Masque (150ml/5.07fl
oz) creates a wave of hydration without overpowering delicate
strands – the ultimate thirst-quencher for fine, dry, parched hair.
Ideal as a pre blow-dry treatment, HydraSplash Hydrating
Replenishing Leave-In (100ml/3.38fl oz) not only delivers a dose
of hydration, it also banishes frizz to leave hair supple, soft and
shiny. The instant effects are visible, and carry on working long after
application.
Give your clients a spring refresh. Dry, brittle, delicate hair is
nourished and transformed by new JOICO HydraSplash with the
gentle touch it needs.

**When using Moisture Recovery Shampoo and Moisture Recovery Conditioner versus untreated, damaged hair
***When using Moisture Recovery Shampoo and Treatment Balm; against combing breakage on damaged hair versus a non-conditioning shampoo
DRY, DULL, FLYAWAY and static-loaded split ends are common
features of thick, coarse hair. Winter weather will only have
compounded the problem (and probably created a morning hair
routine that lasts longer than a paper round). Good to hear, therefore,
that from this month your moisture-ravaged clients can dive into
JOICO’s Moisture Recovery line – now infused with nourishing
Jojoba Oil, vitamin-packed sea kelp and the brand’s unique
liposome delivery system, SmartRelease Technology, to deliver
the deep replenishment they need for their hair to look and feel
beautifully shiny and healthy all day. According to JOICO, a
single treatment delivers 24-hour moisture replenishment,*
double the softness** and leaves it three-times less prone to
breakage.*** That’s some recovery!
Each revitalising wash with the luxurious Moisture Recovery
Moisturizing Shampoo (300ml/10.1fl oz) restores elasticity
and smoothness to coarse, brittle hair. There’s a reason it’s called
“hydration salvation”!
Moisture Recovery Moisturising Conditioner (250ml/8.5fl oz)
restores softness, smoothness and shine to tired, fried, frizzy hair,
with an instant detangling effect for easier styling.
Thirsty for more? Reach for Moisture Recovery Treatment Balm
(250ml/8.5fl oz). Three to five minutes is all it takes for this intensive
treatment to increase strength, reduce breakage, calm frizz and
bump up shine and softness.

“I’ve never done anything like this before. I’ve learnt a
lot today – being precise with everything, because if a
hair is out of place it’ll show on the pictures. I wanted
to show different skills so I chose three different types
of braids – a Dutch braid, a Chinese ladder braid and a
figure-of-eight braid. I wanted to fit in as much texture
and dimension as possible”
MARY DODD
@MARYALICEHAIR
“We wanted summer ’00s braids,
and I used YouTube and Instagram
for inspiration and ideas. This
has about six braids all different
sized because I wanted it to look

ELECTRICALS
…SO TAKE OUT ALL YOUR OLD, WORN-OUT HOT TOOLS FROM YOUR KIT
AND REPLENISH IT WITH SOME OF THE FRESHEST AND MOST FABULOUS STYLERS,
DRYERS, WANDS AND CLIPPERS TO ENSURE YOU’RE UP TO ANY TASK YOU’RE
CHALLENGED WITH! THE HEAT IS ON
HAIRDRESSERS AND THEIR tools, it’s a love affair for the ages.
Stylists can be very selective about what to use on their clients’
hair and like to stick to a brand they know and trust. What works
for one might not be quite right for another. It could be too loud,
too heavy, the cord too short… we get it. These are the tools of
your trade.
Where do we start? The dryer is perhaps the electrical tool you
use the most. On average, professional hair dryers should last
roughly 800 hours before they admit defeat, and this also depends
on the right care and maintenance. But with so much on the
market to choose from, it’s tough to know where to begin.
AC|DC MOTORS – WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?
AC or DC? Do these options leave you ‘Thunderstruck’? Sorry,
couldn’t resist. The type of motor installed in a hair dryer will make
a difference on the power, air flow and the heat diffused out of it.
AC (alternating current) motors are typically heavier, have a longer
life expectancy, faster drying time and are much quieter than their
DC (direct current) counterparts. However, as technology has
developed over the years, brushless DC motors with integrated
AC-DC power supply are being used by most major hair dryer
manufacturers. Why? Well, whereas prior carbon ‘brushes’ tended
to wear out over time and cause the motor to stop working,
‘brushless’ motors use magnets and electronics to drive the
rotations instead. This can extend the life of the dryer to be roughly
10 times longer than AC motor dryers.
These integrated units weigh far less than a conventional AC
motor and are substantially smaller in size, which has contributed
significantly to making hair dryers easier to handle. New from ghd,
the helios professional hair dryer contains a brushless motor, while
also being quieter and giving users 30 per cent shinier hair to boot.
Aeroprecis technology delivers a concentrated temperature and
airflow distribution, giving the stylist more precise control
and less frizz.
Of course, bucking the trend entirely is the Dyson Supersonic
hair dryer Professional editioncontaining its own V9 digital motor.
It contains an axial flow impeller that’s essentially like a modern
jet engine sucking air in and out along the direction of the motor’s
axis, helping keep the motor diameter as small as possible while
delivering high airflow.

TOO HOT TO HANDLE
The type of plate in your straighteners is a fiercely discussed topic
in hairdressing. Everyone has their favourite but it’s worth noting a
few fundamental differences. Ceramic plates have high ranges of
heat options, they won’t get hot spots and are less likely to create
tangles when pulling hair.
If you’re looking for quick heat and a kit bag that won’t weigh
you down, titanium is the way to go. It’s fast, light, and the metal
lasts for a long time because it’s not porous like ceramic.
Tourmaline-covered plates are durable as they are less likely to
chip or suffer heat loss over time. The smooth finish it creates will
keep heat on the plate, which means consistent heat all over.
CLIPPERS FOR THE WIN
A pair of quality clippers are an essential bit of kit for any stylist
and there are several elements to consider before investing.
First is the motor. Rotary, magnetic, and pivot motors are the
three most common types found in professional clippers and each
offer something different but they should all last as long as your
working day without overheating. Next are the blades, for obvious
reasons. Common materials used for hair clipper blades include
titanium, stainless steel, ceramic coated and carbon. Finally, how
easy the clipper is to use. A lot of aspects go into deciding this
and a lot depends on personal preference but much hinges on the
weight, design and grip. If you’re holding it for eight hours a day or
more it needs to be comfortable to hold but also robust enough to
last a long time.
Any barber worth their salt will tell you caring for your blades is
essential in maintaining their longevity and performance. “Start by
turning off the clipper and removing fragments of hair from the blade
with a clipper brush or compressor,” says Lynndy Rolfe, international
educator at Andis. “Clean and disinfect the blades using an
appropriate solution and wipe dry. After that, it’s essential to oil your
clipper to keep it running smoothly before storing in a proper kit bag.”
TREAT YOUR TOOL TO A LITTLE TLC
As a professional, you know that keeping your kit clean is
essential. For hygiene and safety, of course, but also keeping
a tool well maintained will make a huge difference as to how
effectively it works and how long it lasts.
Removing and emptying a filter should be carried out at least
once a week on a professionally-used hair dryer. If the filter is
backed up with debris, dust and anything else, your expensive
dryer will end up working overtime. It’ll shorten its lifespan and
your return on investment will be rubbish. At the top end of the
price point, the Dyson Supersonic hair dryer Professional comes
with a removable, washable filter that also boasts its own edition
cleaning brush, encouraging stylists to take a little time out of their
routines to invest in a cleaning ritual for their dryer.
With curling tongs and wands, Syd Hayes, session stylist and
ambassador for BaByliss PRO, recommends cleaning them with
a cloth, ensuring they are completely cool and unplugged first.
“Use a slightly damp cloth and wipe over the barrel and handle
gently,” he says. “Even if there’s product stuck to the barrel don’t
be tempted to use a scourer, as this can remove the coating or
damage the product.”

WE’VE GOT THE POWER
TANGLE TEEZER’S PATENTED TEETH MEAN THAT THE POWER
IS ALWAYS IN YOUR HANDS, NO MATTER THE SITUATION
TANGLE TEEZER tools have been a tried and
tested favourite for stylists since they launched
more than a decade ago. But what is it about them
that makes their performance unrivalled from the
backwash through to the styling station? The
answer is simple: it’s their unique teeth.
Innovation is at the core of Tangle Teezer’s
business, to be able to revolutionise what stylists
and clients alike can expect from a hairbrush,
whether it’s used for detangling, blow-drying or
styling hair.
Tangle Teezer’s exclusive, patented teeth technology
is adapted across each hairbrush to suit every hair
type from fine, coloured locks to thick, textured curls.
DETANGLING
The long teeth detangle, remove knots, reduce breakage and leave hair
healthier-looking, while the short teeth smooth and leave it looking glossy
and frizz-free.
BLOW-STYLING
Hair flows effortlessly through the bottle-shaped fixed base teeth, while the
heat-resistant flexible tips offer precise pick up at the root. The overlapping
configuration extracts excess water for a faster drying time.
STYLING
Whether you’re looking to create volume, texture, height and create up-dos
or simply add amazing smoothness and shine to your client’s hair, the styling
range can do the job with ease.

TANGLE TEEZER HAS CREATED A COLLECTION OF LOOKS AS A STUNNING SOURCE OF INSPIRATION
CREATIVE HEAD ADVERTORIAL
ALL-TIME HERO
A timeless and classic style with a
modern twist. Inspired by the big and
bouncy voluminous blow-drys of the
’60s (think Brigitte Bardot), it’s suitable
for all hair lengths, worn with height and
volume at the crown, a slight dishevelled
wave and plenty of movement. Add a
simple hair band to elevate the look.

Blow Styling Round Tool (Full Size)
Back-Combing Tool
MID-LENGTH MAGIC
Mid-length hair remains a hugely
popular trend this year due to its
versatility. Create natural volume and
movement by setting the hair in loose,
large pin curls after blow-drying and
choosing a relaxed parting for a natural,
effortless result.

The Ultimate
BOB BRIGADE
A great bob never goes out of fashion,
and jaw-line styles are very much in this
season. Create a smooth and shiny finish
with defined ends using these tools for
a chic finish. Depending on your client,
you can interpret this to achieve sharper,
more textured ends or a smoother,
bevelled shape.

GIRL ON FIRE
FROM WORKING BEHIND THE SCENES ON FASHION SHOWS TO COUNTING TOP SUPERMODELS AS CLIENTS,
IT’S NO WONDER PAULA MCCASH SCOOPED THE INAUGURAL MOST WANTED INDEPENDENT STYLIST AWARD
LISTING PAULA MCCASH’S work as a session hairdresser is
akin to reading a roll call of the most exciting forces in fashion,
from living legends to exciting new names. She’s styled Georgia
May Jagger, Ugbad Abdi, Erin O’Connor and Liv Tyler, and was
responsible for shaving Adwoa Aboah’s hair at the A/W19 Matty
Bovan show. Her catwalk credentials include House of Holland
and Shrimps, she’s worked on campaigns for brands including
Polo Ralph Lauren, been published in Vogue – and now she’s the
fi rst winner of the Most Wanted Independent Stylist Award.
Paula cut her teeth as a hairdresser during competitions in
Scotland, an experience that helped hone her skills and realise her
passion for hair. “I’m originally from Dundee and was part of not
only the McIntyre’s but also the Alan Edwards creative teams and
won both men’s and women’s categories in the L’Oréal Colour

Trophy for Scotland,” Paula explains. “Through being in a
team, pushing myself technically and artistically, I discovered
this is what I love. It gave me the confi dence I needed.”
It was only a matter of time until Paula was enticed down
to the fashion capital of the UK, where she’s built a network
of contacts. “I collaborate with lots of creatives that I have
connected with over the years and feel I am part of a new
breed of emerging stylists and photographers,” she explains.
“I’ve had my work published in Vogue and LOVE, and I work
on global advertising campaigns alongside Syd.”
Syd, of course, refers to Syd Hayes – backstage star,
winner of two Most Wanted Session Stylist titles and the
man that calls Paula his ‘right-hand woman’ on set. “I
seriously lobbied Syd and his agent to be part of his show
team and then did two seasons with him before being
appointed as his fi rst assistant,” reveals Paula. “Not only
is this a high-pressure job, but it also comes with a lot of
responsibilities. I need to ensure my skills are honed and I
am constantly developing and learning new techniques to
enable me to execute Syd’s vision.”
Another highlight was contributing to Edward Enninful’s fi rst issue as editor of
Vogue in December 2017. “It was a shoot called ‘Sunglasses’ and the brief was
to keep it real – working with the models’ own texture and emphasising natural
beauty. There wasn’t much time allocated, so I had to do a lot of hair on set. It’s
amazing what you can come up with in a short space of time!”
When she’s not on set or backstage, Paula splits her time between a studio
in Soho and a salon in East London, where she rents a chair to fi t in with her
own hectic schedule. “I’ve built up a loyal clientele and now work from a private
little studio in Soho called About This Place,” she says. “It’s appointment-only
and has a fantastic view over the rooftops of London, which my clients love. I
manage my own schedule and book myself into the studio whenever I’m free
from session work. Some of my clients prefer East and some prefer Soho, so this
allows great fl exibility for them and also ensures I maintain a diverse clientele.”
Solid foundations have been a secret to Paula’s success – it’s impossible
to underestimate the importance of the fundamentals. “I have a strong
understanding of classic hair techniques from working in salons since I was a
Saturday girl and still at school,” she says. “In recent years, colouring and styling
wigs has become second nature and it really is a game changer in session work.
If I won the lottery I would buy a studio full of wigs just to experiment with. That
would be my hairdressing geek’s dream!”
The hairdressing landscape is forever changing and, to refl ect the
rise in freelance hairdressers, Creative HEAD launched the Most
Wanted Independent Stylist Award for 2019. When Paula won the
trophy, she described the moment as giving her a real sense of
achievement. “It’s easy for someone like me to slip through the
net somewhere between the session world and the hairdressing
industry,” says Paula. “I’m super-grateful as the category has
me down to a tee! Winning has given me recognition within the
industry and it’s also allowed me to build stronger relationships
with brands and publications. It’s given me confi dence
to continue to pursue my career path, knowing I have
the support of the industry behind me.”

Darren Fowler
Blow UP
Starting a new decade of creativity and inspiration, Fashion
in Motion returned to the V&A with a bang, as Central Saint
Martins graduate Fredrik Tjærandsen showcased highlights
from his incredible Moments of Clarity presentation. Having
set social media ablaze last year with his otherworldly rubber
‘bubbles’ from the BA Fashion showcase, Tjærandsen won
the L’Oréal Professionnel Young Talent Award last year,
despite not a single stitch being used in the collection. Made
entirely from biodegradable natural rubber latex sourced
sustainably and responsibly from growers in Sri Lanka,
Tjærandsen’s designs support local communities making
a living from the forests. Leading the L’Oréal Professionnel
Portfolio hair team backstage was Fowler35’s Darren Fowler,
who took inspiration from the garments to create a sculpted,
wet look across nine models. TECNI.ART Extreme Splash
was applied with a brush to keep hair slicked down without
the use of oil, which would melt the latex. Don’t want to cause
a bang…

Going
THROUGH
changes
PRINT VERSUS DIGITAL. Social media stand out.
Authenticity versus over-sharing. These, and other
pressing existential questions for the hair professional
and modern citizen, formed the basis for the first Coterie
gathering of the year – and with no fewer than six guest
speakers and the promise of goody bags filled with the
stunning new JoiFull volumising range from sponsor
JOICO, it’s no wonder the event was packed to the
rafters. The Times They Are A-Changin’ saw questions
being posed by Creative HEAD editor Amanda
Nottage and the answers being debated by an expert
panel of changemakers that included journalists Lisa
Oxenham (beauty and style director at Marie Claire)
and Madeleine Spencer (Beauty Full Lives podcast),
industry trendsetters Luke Hersheson and Zoë Irwin,
Not Another Salon’s Instagram star Harriet Stokes
and international fashion consultant Adam Andrascik.
The results were fascinating, insightful and thoughtprovoking
– and 100 per cent relevant to us all.
