Diversion — Still the Hot Topic
From the Editor
Lisa Kind
I recently attended Cosmoprof North
America in Las Vegas. My goal for attending
was to learn about the newest products and
companies and to hopefully establish some
good advertising and public relations contacts.
During the weekend the hot topic in all of
my conversations was—you guessed it—diversion.
It is amazing to me how many different
opinions there are. Some claim distributors
drive diversion. Others insist manufacturers
are the culprit. Still others believe diversion
is happening at the salon level. Whom do you
believe?
One thing is for sure. Stylists are getting
frustrated and starting to take a stance to combat
diversion. Here are a few excerpts (edited for
brevity) of comments I received after the July
issue of the Stylist focusing on diversion hit the
streets.
— David Yerks, Palm Springs, Calif.:
Diversion is here to stay, and yes, it is growing.
Recently, I noticed products on the grocery
and drug stores’ shelves that promised they
would never be diverted. However, these
companies are now owned by L’Oreal. Coincidence?
I cut the hair of an owner of one of the
grocery stores in my area, which also carries
diverted products. I asked to meet the person
who buys their cosmetic and toiletry line so
that I may point out the “Professional Retail
Only” label. She told me she buys directly
from a distributor who comes into the store.
The prices in the stores are not very different
from what they are in the salon. If it
is slightly higher, people will still pay more
because of the convenience. When the manufacturers
of the “Professional Only” products
become accustomed to the profits, they will
eventually go public and forget the people who
helped promote their products.
If I sound bitter, it is because I am. I often
think, “Why bother?”
What is my way of combating it? I sell a
line that limits how many salons in the area
can sell their product (similar to what Aveda
does). My next step: private label. Yes, it can be
a bit costly to start with, but at least I have the
control.
— Darryl Manco, Pacific Beach, Calif.:
Over the past quarter decade, I have witnessed
one of the worst tragedies within our industry
that a salon owner and stylist could witness.
What I refer too is the idea that we are the
reason for product diversion. Each time I read
about this it makes me disgusted, and I am
tired of the empty promises made by the holding
companies.
No salon or stylist buys in such quantity to
be able to support the needs of a national chain
retailer. How many cases of product would
we need monthly, I ask, to supply say Target,
Nordstrom Rack, Longs Drugs, Rite-Aid, etc?
I ask stylists that are addicted to brand
named products, “Why carry such allegiances
when the holding company does not care
about you?”
Take some time, and do your research in
your local stores. When you see those famous
brands on the shelves, divert yourself from
those brands and go shopping for ones that
keep the profits in your hands.
Just imagine no commitment contracts, no
lies and no diversion. Besides, you will enjoy
the markup.
— Keith James, San Francisco, Calif.: We
are not always aware of the impact diversion
has on our bottom line, but it is important we
do so. Diversion is ever increasing and looks,
at best, only to increase corporate profits.
While beauty product manufacturers boast
about their never-ending investment to prosecute
the diverting offenders, it’s understood
by most salon owners that the manufacturers
and distributors divert the product themselves.
I recently chose to remove more than
$5,000 of retail product from my shelves as
numerous clients were apologetically informing
me of their ability to purchase their professional
haircare products at a significantly lower
price from Bay Area retailers.
— Christopher J. Fatica, Erie, Pa.: My
opinion, based on information and research
I have done over my decades in the industry,
is that retail outlets like Target and Wal-Mart,
where we find many diverted products, don’t
buy from salons or independent distributors.
They go right to the manufacturer.
I am sure “Professional Manufacturers”
are the suppliers to the retail outlets because
only they can supply enough product to meet
the demands of the Targets and Wal-Marts of
the world. Buyers for large retail chains have
confirmed this information for me. But don’t
take my word for it; check it out for yourself.
These manufacturers generate a lot more
revenue from consumer product sales in large
retail outlets than through distribution or
salons. However, if a manufacturer wants to
stay clean, it can.

about the diversion topic, or anything else,
email me at lisa@stylistnewspapers.com. I’d
love to hear from you!
On a lighter note, at the show I also received
eyelash extensions from Novalash artist
Sophia of Houston, Texas. I have to say, I love
them and receive compliments on them all of
the time. Thanks to Novalash and Sophia for
doing such an outstanding job.

Introducing Trendy New Services and Products to Your Clients
Beauty
Business Buzz
Shannon Wells
Are you ready to take the plunge and introduce
the season’s hottest new products and
services in your salon or spa?
Whether it’s offering the latest celebrity
extensions or unveiling that great new spray
tan machine, you want to make sure you get
the most bang for your buck when introducing
a new service to your clients. So rather
than stocking your shelves or simply adding an
item to your menu and waiting for the money
to magically roll in, there are some strategic
moves you can make to ensure success.
Research and Consider. With every new
| AUGUST 008 | CALIFORNIA STYLIST & SALON
service or product you add, there are some
very important things to consider.
1. Identify the need among your clients: Is the
product or service something your clients are
interested in? How will it improve their lives?
How many times per month or year will they
use or buy the product—or could it just be a
one hit wonder?
2. Determine if the product will improve your
bottom line. How many will you need to sell
to be profitable? What purchase price do
you need to be profitable? How much initial
inventory will you need in order to maintain
flow? How long can you continue to offer this
product? Is it a fad?
3. How does this product or service compare to your
competitors? Does everyone carry this exact same
product? What exclusivity can you claim by of-
fering this product? Are there alternative lines or
brands of this product that you can offer?
Education and Trial. Making sure your
team is 100 percent on board with your new
offering is key in its success. Take the time
to thoroughly educate your team on the
benefits and reasons behind adding it to your
repertoire. Better yet, if time allows, have a
brainstorming session and find out what your
team thinks would make good additions to
your menu. If they help create it, they will help
make sure it’s successful.
Each manufacturer and distributor wants
to make sure you are excited about what they
have to offer. Take advantage of this; enlist
them to host training for your team so they are
completely comfortable with the new product
or service. Fear of the unknown is what causes
so many new menu additions to fail. If your
staff is completely comfortable with the what,
when and why of the product, they will feel
comfortable recommending it.
It is also important to do testing of the new
product with your staff and your best clientele.
Select a test group that can give you honest
feedback on its effects. The clients may love the
new item and you will have created an immediate
client for life. Or you might be surprised to
find that a product that everyone is using misses
the mark among your clientele and staff.
Fill the Need. The last aspect of success-
fully introducing a new product or service
to your clients is making sure your team is
introducing the new item in the most effective
way. Have them point out that it is a solution
that truly fills a need for your clients. The best
way to ensure this is to be certain your team
is educated about what the product or service
will accomplish, as was mentioned, and then
that the team is comfortable finding out if their
clients have the need this product will fill.
This step is often overlooked, and it will
have a big impact on the success of a new
product or service. We assume the person in
our chair will tell us exactly what they need.
We forget that, when clients don’t know what
is available, they are limited to what they think
they can ask for. Your team’s job is to ask questions,
get the clients talking, use your menu to
introduce the services they need, and let your
clients know the full scope of services you
provide for them and how they will benefit
from them.
Introducing a new product or service can
be fun and exhilarating. After performing a few
of the due diligence steps listed above, you can
up the odds of successfully launching exciting
new items in your business.

Lash Out —
Expand Your Menu with
Eyelash Extensions
By Anne Moratto
We all know women have a natural lash
lust. Capitalize on this addiction and learn the
art of eyelash extensions.
This service has beautiful, eye-opening
results that offer women long, dark, butterfly
lashes. With training, practice and reliable
products, this service is an eye-deal way to
build your business.
For your clients and for yourself, hands-on
training sessions are invaluable. They teach
you proper technique and allow you to create a
set of lashes that will be like a fluttering pair of
business cards on every client.
Lash extensions are individual lashes applied
directly to natural lashes using semi-permanent
adhesives. The glue sits at the very end
of the hair follicle, not touching the skin.
When properly applied and taken care of,
eyelash extensions will last through the four to
eight week cycle of hair growth, and will fall
off when the natural lash is shed. This means
you can schedule touch-ups every two to four
weeks to maintain a full lash line.
Depending on your expertise, a set of
lashes will take from 30 minutes to two hours
to complete. Many lash artists bundle services
at this appointment time, sharing space with a
manicurist or offering other treatments. Professionals
are charging from $150 to $600 per
application. Many salons and spas will offer a
set price package for first time application and
touch-ups.
Proper extension training will emphasize a
number of points including the importance of
hygiene, choosing the proper adhesive, client
setup and consultation, taping procedure prior
to application, aftercare of lashes, lash extension
removal, designing the eyes and corrective
lash techniques.
Michelle Bouse, make-up artist to many
Hollywood celebrities including the Camp
Rock Girls, began doing extensions nearly
three years ago. She is now a global master
educator for LashBeLong, and Bouse performs
at least 25 lash services a week at her salon.
“Lash extensions are better than a facelift,”
exclaimed Bouse. “As we age, the skin around
the eyes sags and droops. Extensions open the
eyes and give the illusion of lifting the eyes. ”
We wink, seduce and entrance with our
eyes. Help women get their flirt on by offering
to create lush, lovely lashes for them. Learn
extensions and your clients will be all a flutter.
Anne Moratto is the director of public relations and advertising at American
International and represents LashBeLong, an eyelash extension system created
by the makers of Ardell lashes. For more information, call 800-621-9585 or

Add Volume and Texture to Your Clients’ Hair with Extensions
Marketing Solutions
Hannah Mayo
Hair extensions: their commonly accepted
name does not do them justice.
Professional hair extensions are not just
for extending the length of your client’s hair.
And much more than creating a mere illusion
like other styling tools; with professional
hair extensions you can instantly add exciting
new physical volume and texture to thin and
lifeless hair.
Women today are constantly trying to add
endless volume and texture to thin and flat
hair. Everyone wants the hair they see on the
celebrities.
Achieve this easily and instantly by simply
adding professional extensions. Either choose
a full head of extensions for maximum volume
or strategically place extensions where
volume is needed the most.
Not all professional hair extensions
are the same. You must explore all of the
variables, qualities, technologies and options
available to you. Unlike the previous use of
synthetic or blended hair that looked unnatural
and was more difficult to style, most
professional salon hair extension manufacturers
now use only real human hair which
looks, acts and feels completely natural.
Still, there are discernable differences in
hair types, textures and processes between the
various professional hair extension manufacturers.
They now offer extensions in a variety
of colors and textures, ensuring a perfect
match to your client’s hair. This variety
makes the possibilities endless for you and
your salon clients.
Many companies use pre-bonded extensions,
rather than a separate adhesive, thus
avoiding difficulty and mess. Many manufacturers
have taken the appeal of pre-bonded
extensions one step further by using 100
percent keratin protein pre-bonded tips. This
is the protein your hair is made of, and it
creates a very strong, healthy and long lasting
bond that ensures long-term results. Keratin
bonds are easy and safe to remove. With regular
maintenance and checkups in the salon,
clients can often wear their hair extension for
up to six months.
Adding new volume with hair extensions
is a great solution for people suffering from
alopecia, male or female pattern baldness or
even hair loss from chemotherapy. For some
hair replacement clients, the benefits of hair
extensions surpass those of other replacement
options. Many people do not want something
as drastic as surgery or a wig, while others
may not want to hassle with applying topical
solutions or hair fibers. Hair extensions are
a more permanent and discreet way to add
volume to thin hair.
Beside their user-friendly appeal, extensions
also allow for various hair styling
options because they are treated like natural
hair. And, with so many colors and textures
to choose from, extensions provide an endless
number of creative styles such as adding
highlights, lowlights and various textures to
add dimension.
In order to add hair extensions, your client
should typically have at least two inches
of hair to bond the extensions to. Yet, this is
not always required.
In fact, an innovative bond has been created
specifically for chemotherapy patients
and other hair loss clients. Generally known
as mini or micro grafts, these flat bonds attach
to the client’s existing hair using cold fusion
bonding. This procedure is suitable for the
early stages of alopecia, primarily stages one
and two. This allows application of extensions
much closer to the scalp, adding instant
volume and length without the worry of
visibility, which is crucial for clients who have
thinning hair.
In order for your clients to maintain their
striking new tresses, proper home care is
essential between salon visits. Clients need
to be educated to use the proper hairbrushes,
shampoos and styling tools that will ensure
their hair extensions will stay intact for the
maximum duration. Make specific recommendations.
Look for a hair extension company
that has everything your client will need
including the appropriate loop and bristle
brushes along with a wet line for any texture
or style of hair.
After attachment of the new hair extensions,
it is vitally important that your clients
follow up with you for a maintenance consultation.
Thereafter, when caring for their new
tresses, gentleness is vital. It is important that
your clients know not to excessively scrub
their hair. They can avoid tangles by dry-

ing hair thoroughly before going to bed and
comb with a wide tooth comb, gently from
ends to the scalp. They should also know to
never use haircolor, perms and relaxers and
to never use any other types of chemicals
without consulting you, to prevent damage to
their new hair extensions.
Professional hair extensions are the best
way to add volume, texture and length to
your client’s hair. New application methods
cause little to no damage to the client’s hair,
and hair extensions are an easier, longer lasting
alternative to other hairstyling tools.

The Bene ts and Challenges of Hair Enhancement
Blue Highways
Jerry Tyler
Hair enhancement is one of the fastest
growing segments of the beauty industry.
It’s important to be aware of the challenges
that come with the major benefits and sudden
demand which affects both our clients and our
fellow licensees.
Most of these issues are already prevalent in
parts of the nation; therefore, several states are
already dealing with these issues proactively to
protect the integrity and professionalism in this
segment of the beauty industry.
The financial rewards offered by hair
enhancement can be truly amazing. Many hair
enhancement technicians charge upward of
$100 per hour for their services. A full-head
weave can command from $300 to $2,000.
Individual strands can cost up to $10 per strand,
with 100-300 strands per full head. But with
this source of financial potential comes responsibility—both
toward the client and for our
profession as a whole.
The expansion “hair enhancement” falls
into three categories based on the method of
attachment. They are multiple strand placement,
individual strand and non-surgical hair replacement.
Multiple strand placement involves the
placement of a hair weft attached by a sewn in
(weave) method, multiple track micro link or
latex bond. The advantage of this method is the
lateral anchoring of the hair weft, which creates
a durable secure bond that holds up to styling.
Individual strand placement involves the
placement of individual pre-bonded keratin
strands of various dimensions and lengths.
Methods of attachment are individual micro
link (no heat), fusion method (heat with purging
iron) and thermal adhesion (melted keratin
and gun method).
The advantage of individual strand placement
is that it is more natural and is easier to
blend with the natural hair. Attachment of multicolor
strands allows the effect of highlighting
without the use of hair color.
With over 40 percent of the adult population
experiencing some form of hair loss, either
due to medical issues or part of the normal
aging process, the demand for non-surgical hair
replacement is at all time high. Most HMOs
and Preferred Provider Organizations (PPOs)
now pay for hair replacement as part of their
benefits for cancer and other patients who experience
hair loss as part of treatment.
The most prevalent forms of hair replacement
are lace front units for woman and
custom full or partial hairpieces for men. The
fabrication of these pieces requires specific
training and the results, due to advances in technology,
allow for maximum comfort, durability
and a realistic look that is hard to detect.
With the elevated demand for these services
has come an ever-increasing demand for human
hair. The demand is so great the average price
for human hair has risen 30 percent in the last
few months.
In the last two years, the amount of raw hair
purchased for export from India to China went
from $51 million to $250 million. Of that hair,
80 percent went to the U.S. market.
In China, where much of the hair is processed,
a large portion of the supply has been
diverted to create amino acids for food supplements,
therefore adding to the shortage of hair
available for enhancements—driving global
prices upward. Unfortunately, while these
prices are going up quality is going down.
With such a high demand, the current
shortage and with no real controlling authority,
some of the hair sold as human hair is mixed
with synthetics or even animal hair. Since most
of these suppliers carry an “all sales are final”
policy, consumers have no recourse or assurance
of quality.
When in the ethnic market, a high percentage
of all hair sales are made directly to the
client, who then has their hair professional use
them as part of their hair extension service. As
most synthetic fibers are only heat resistant to
200 degrees, imagine the unsuspecting client
who applies a thermal hot iron at 350 degrees to
what she thought was human hair. Or imagine
the customer with animal allergies who just
had animal hair attached to her head, which she
though was 100 percent human hair. These are
real issues of consumer concern.
The solution to the above issue is simple.
All hair sold should have a truth in advertising
claim based on the material safety data sheet
supplied by the importer, stating the nature
of the hair as a certain percentage of human,
synthetic or other hair. This way the consumer
or licensee purchasing it for attachment knows
what they are getting. The sheet should also
state the point of origin. In the area of business
ethics, a truth in advertising protocol in the sale
of hair should be within the scope of regulation.
The various methods of hair enhancement
offer untold creative and technical advantages.
This true both financially and in offering new
and creative services—but only if we address
the challenges that come with the territory.
If we assure we use safe techniques that
have long lasting results, we can enhance our
services without compromising the integrity of
the industry we have worked so hard to protect.

Nail Techs—Network, Educate and Be Industry Leaders
The Nail Extension
Vicki Peters
While there are some challenges in nail
education, there are also opportunities. So let’s
talk about some opportunities currently available,
and then discuss a call to action for any
willing techs out there with the skills to help
educate our industry.
The 2008 show season is coming to an
end, with exception of a few shows still scheduled
for later this year including Nailpro’s
Anaheim and Sacramento shows in September
and October, the Mid-American Beauty Classic
in September in Ohio and the Texas Beauty
Show in October.
Earlier this year nail technicians gathered
and networked in California at the ISSE Long
Beach show, America’s Beauty Show in Chicago,
International Beauty Show New York and
Las Vegas and Premiere in Orlando. Alongside
these terrific shows are other regional networking
events and private dinner gatherings
where we all have a chance to meet.
Because of the lack of available education,
more and more of us do our nail networking
at shows and online in chats and message
boards. Distributors and nail classes have
diminished and the cost of education is so high
many manufacturers do not hold classes like
they used to. We have to fend for ourselves
to get more education—and that’s what we
have done. Networking on a national and
worldwide level among nail techs is much
more common than other parts of the beauty
industry like skincare and hairstylists. We have
created an environment that is unique to the
beauty industry and very strong.
This trend in nail education can be found
at nail tech networking events and other educational
programs like High Road to Education
and Nail Kamps. Independent nail techs from
all over the country produce these events.
The most recent one I attended was in
Gatlinburg, Tennessee where 50 nail techs
gathered for a day of demonstrations by some
of the leading manufacturers who donated
their time and efforts to participate. Jill Wright
produced the networking event and Nails
Magazine sponsored the lunch.
Costs for attending networking events are
reasonable and most of the time manufacturers
donate samples, enabling attendees to walk
away with a bagful of goodies worth hundreds
of dollars.
A day of networking with other techs from
your area can be powerful and put you in an
environment that does not exist anywhere else.
Watching the demonstrations not only allows
you to see what’s new in trends it also shows
you techniques by leading educators that you
may not have seen before. It’s amazing what
we can learn just by sitting and watching.
Moreover, networking events are casual environments
where lots of conversation is shared
while the demonstrations are being performed.
A good source of information for upcoming
networking events is the BeautyTech website
organized by Debbie Doerlamm. For more
information on all the different networking
events, visit www.beautytech.com.
The High Road to Education takes the day
of networking to another level with a twoday
program produced by Tammy Warner.
Her next event is in September in Cincinatti,
OH. For more information, visit homepages.
roadrunner.com/nailsunlimited/index_files/
Page871.htm.
Nail Kamp is another successful program,
which has been held in Daytona, Las Vegas,
New Jersey and Dallas. It is scheduled for
Trinidad; Chicago; Las Vegas and Santa Rosa,
California this year, then double that schedule
for 2009. It features three days of hands on
acrylic and gel training, electric file certification,
in addition to hands on training in salon
work to aid you in improving your skills. Nail
Kamp is a small classroom environment with
15 attendees for quality one-on-one training.
For information, visit www.vickipeters.com.
What we need now is to have a networking
event in every state so we can make this accessible
to everyone. It’s easy and you can find
all the help you need to produce one at www.
beautytech.com. Attendees usually pay about
$25, and providing a lunch is sometimes a nice
option. You can hold events at salons on Sundays
or in hotel conference rooms for as little
as $150 per day. While organizing these events
takes planning and recordkeeping, especially
when collecting attendee fees, marketing is
often very easy. Make use of word of mouth, as
well as posts on beautytech.com, e-mail blasts
and mentions in trade magazines. You may
even consider creating a website specific to
your event to help make your advertising that
much more effective.
The state of our education is forcing the
industry’s leading nail techs to step up to the
plate and take hold of what we need to grow
our industry. And our efforts are working. Yet,
we still need more of it. If you are interested in
hosting a networking event just go do it, and
make your mark in improving our industry.

Risk Management
Esthetic Endeavors
Judith Culp
Any of us that have been in the industry for
a while have heard of the amazing things some
estheticians do—the wild, weird and just plain
crazy. Like what?
Recently I heard of an esthetician that did a
Brazilian wax who applied the wax the wrong
direction, didn’t stretch and used the same wax
applicator for the entire process. Another incident
was a technician who chose to do a peel on
a new client, in conjunction with a microdermabrasion.
And then there was the new product
on the market claiming that estheticians could
remove moles, skin tags, tattoos and cholesterol
deposits and any other superficial lesions.
So what do these things have in common?
Lack of risk management. All of them put the
technician and the client at risk for complications,
side effects or other consequences of
procedures. Some put the technician in the
position of perhaps breaking state regulations
or working beyond the scope of their insurance
liability. All of them are very risky.
What do I mean by saying they’re risky? It
means the technician or the client or both are
at risk of side effects, complications or consequences
of the procedure. It means there is a
heightened risk of insurance liability.
Most insurance firms and many states require
the technician to collect data from the client
pertinent to the procedure they’re performing.
They also expect us to inform the client of
any special aftercare they need to follow. Why?
Risk management.
It only takes one bad client experience to
ruin a good career. Bad news travels fast and for
most of us estheticians, the thought of marring
a client permanently is just inconceivable. We
want happy clients, we want successful careers
and we don’t want lawsuits.
So what can we do to manage our risks, to
reduce them? We must get training, have insurance
and get proper client documentation.
It is the responsibility of each salon owner
and each esthetician to know their state laws, to
know the limits of their insurance coverage and
to know the product and treatment guidelines
recommended by their suppliers. There is no
excuse for a technician to perform a service for
which they have not been properly trained.
If we want to perform a new service or our
salon owner expects us to perform a service, we
absolutely must be trained in that service before
performing it on the public. We have to know
more than the client does. We, as professionals,
are expected to know indications, contraindications
and protocols for performing a procedure—in
addition to the technical aspects.
There is a lot the client doesn’t know. They
won’t know if a treatment is inappropriate for
them. That is our responsibility. Anyone not
committed to having all the necessary knowledge
and informing each of their clients about
what is appropriate for them is a danger to our
industry.
For most procedures, we need to know
the theory to understand the indications and
the contraindications. We need to know the
procedure to follow when performing the treatment
and we need to know the very important
how-to’s associated with the treatment. If the
manufacturer says a treatment should use certain
products or should go a specific way and we
alter this, it can void our insurance coverage. If
the guidelines say we should not perform a procedure
on certain people due to health factors,
lifestyle factors or Fitzpatrick type and we do it
anyway, we void our insurance coverage.
It is also critical we know application
technique, stretch or proper settings as well
as methods to prevent cross-contamination.
Knowledge protects our clients and us.
Proper insurance coverage is a second important
aspect to consider. Are you fully covered
under your salon policy? Did you know that
even if there is a salon insurance policy, this
does not protect you from being one of the
people “also named” in a lawsuit? The client
can sue not only the salon but can also name
any practitioner there. If this sounds out of
line to you, check with your insurance carrier.
To truly protect yourself you need your own
professional coverage or your coverage needs to
name you specifically so that you have this type
of protection. The fee for appropriate insurance
coverage could be a small price to pay to protect
your personal property.
While some estheticians use a complete client
history, covering both medical and lifestyle
information to give them great clues as to how
a treatment might turn out, one at least has to
check for contraindications. Most manufacturers
have recommendations for the information
you need to gather with regard to their individual
service or treatment procedure.
Certain medications can rule out certain
treatments. Certain medical conditions may
make a treatment inappropriate. Fitzpatrick skin
rating measures how safely you can perform
peels on a client without risking hyper-pigmentation.
So to manage our risk factor and minimize
our chance of unhappy clients—or those who
have a less than satisfactory outcome— we must
get educated, get insured and get the pertinent
information. If we don’t do this, we are in a
risky business and according to Murphy’s Law,
the bad stuff will eventually happen.

Education is the Best
The Mane Objective
Marco Pelusi
What a marvelous experience I’ve been having
teaching again.
Before the opening of my studio, I spent
many years as a lead regional, national and
international trainer for major global color
manufacturers. So it has been a while since
I’ve led a color class full of talented haircolorists.
The opportunity arose,
and I’ve been having a great
time teaching this year at the
American Board of Certified
Haircolorists’ Energizing
Summit.
This experience was simply
fantastic and has renewed
my love for education within
our industry.
The exchange of ideas
and the sharing of knowledge
were wonderful. That
exchange is what I love about
education. The best color
class, any kind of class for that
matter, is when the educator
has the chance to learn something new from the
students, especially when that knowledge causes
the class to thereafter roll out in an entirely different
way than was originally planned.
I’m so energized to practice what I preached
at the summit with each client who sits in my
chair. I discussed techniques at the summit for
face-framing haircolor. It’s important to offer
every client a haircolor service. It’s easy too;
simply let the client vent, then analyze their
face shape, facial skin tone and eye color, then
determine what is best to recommend for a
face-framing haircolor.
Face-shaping color can be seasonal. Since
we’re in summer, consider adding more blonde
around the face. Seasonal analysis still plays a
big part in our consultation with each client
The best color class,
any kind of class for
that matter, is when
the educator has
the chance to learn
something new
from the students...
when framing the face with color. Is the client’s
facial skin tone cool or warm? What is the eye
color and tone?
The face is everything. It really doesn’t
matter what’s going on in the back of the head
or the nape of the neck. Attack the face first and
you’ll always win. You can even offer a haircolor
solely for the areas surrounding the face or offer
face-framing color for an in-between touch-up
visit at the bangs or temples.
This concept is especially true for clients
who have gray hair. Our graying clients need a
customized face-framing haircolor—sometimes
a slightly
different one for every visit.
This is the case because gray
can sometimes come in more
quickly or it can appear in
different areas. You must also
adjust the color to address any
facial changes.
This holds true for both
the male and female clients;
you’d be surprised how eager
men are for a very specific
face-framing haircolor service,
and how specifically they
request color from you as the
expert. Now more than ever,
men’s haircoloring is becoming
extremely lucrative, as men start to take better
care of their appearance as they try to look
youthful and professional, and to gain respect.
In the end, as far as education is concerned,
it’s important for all of us hairdressers to participate
in all aspects of it, whether as an attendee
or an educator. Ultimately, the face-framing
haircolor concept is to give your clients a service
that cannot be duplicated anywhere else. Properly
and beautifully framing your clients’ faces
with color is how you can accomplish it.

Bureau of Barbering and Cosmetology
Effective July 1, 2008, the Board of Barbering and Cosmetology became a Bureau. Although
part of our name changes, the services we provide applicants, licensees, and consumers
continue. There will be a few internal changes but will not impact the public. The nine
Board members have been asked to continue on the Bureau’s advisory committee and a public
meeting will be scheduled sometime in the fall. We anticipate this transition to be smooth and
without any interruption to the public. For any up to date information relating to this transition,
please go to our website at www.barbercosmo.ca.gov or call 1-800-952-5210.
Disciplinary Review Committee (DRC)
A Disciplinary Review Hearing is an
informal citation review proceeding before
the Disciplinary Review Committee (DRC).
This Committee is a panel of three members,
which are appointed by the Governor.
Approximately 45 days after your inspection,
your citation will be mailed to you along
with a formal appeal request document. You
have 30 days from the issuance date of your
citation to submit your signed or written
appeal request. Approximately 30 days before
the date of your hearing, you will be notified
by mail of the date, time and location of
your hearing. The BBC conducts hearings
throughout California and you will be scheduled
at a location closes you.
The BBC will send two Notice of
Hearings to your address of record – one via
regular mail and the other certified. If you
have recently moved or have cancelled your
Establishment license, you must notify the
BBC within 30 days of your new address.
During your appeal hearing, you will have
the opportunity to discuss your case with the
DRC. You will have 15 minutes to state your
case and explain why you are appealing. You
are allowed, but are not required, to bring
appropriate representation, witnesses, written
documentation or photographs to support
your case.
If you need an interpreter, you must bring
one with you and the interpreter cannot have
a pending appeal citation issues at the same
location.
If you are unable to attend your scheduled
appeal hearing, you may send an authorized
representative to speak on your behalf.
You must provide a signed authorization
letter allowing the representative to appear
in your absence. It is important to note that
if you are an employee of an establishment,
the establishment owner may not be your
representative due to a conflict of interest.
You may also choose to withdraw your appeal
by sending in a written request to withdraw
prior to the hearing and subsequently pay the
full amount of the fine. A withdraw request
form is included on the second page of your
Notice of Hearing.
You must show “good cause” in order
to reschedule your hearing. “Good Cause”
is defined by the Bureau as personal illness,
auto accident, death or severe illness in the
immediate family or other severe physical
or emotional hardship. Any condition to be
considered good cause must be verified in
writing.
You will be notified by mail of the Committee’s
decision 30 days after your hearing
date. The Decision Document mailed to you
will state whether your violations are upheld,
modified, or dismissed and the total amount
owed on the citation.
If you do not agree with the Committee’s
decision, you may appeal by sending in a
written request to be heard before an administrative
law judge. Your request must be
submitted before the effective date of the decision
or 59 days of your hearing date. Your
appeal will then be handled by the Office of
the Attorney General.
The BBC is committed to providing a forum
that will allow each appellant an opportunity
to express his/her point of view while
maintaining the integrity of the laws and
regulations that govern the beauty industry.

1. High Performance Line for Men
WHAT’S NEW IN THE MARKET
Direct from London is a groundbreaking, iconic, British and award winning line of high performance
hair products for men. Lock Stock and Barrel Grooming offers the modern man a full range of
styling, shampoo and conditioning products he can depend on.
Lock Stock and Barrel fully understands the needs of men. Men desire a brand that they can be
proud of, one that endorses their masculinity.
“We launched in the U.S. at the Long Beach Expo in January 2008, explained John Albanese of
LSandB USA, “and the booth attracted an almost obstructive gathering of professionals. A particularly
big hit with the boys was the Recharge two in one, shampoo and conditioner. ”
For more information, call 562-422 1452, or visit www.groomingmen.com.
2. Is Your Foot Spa Safe?
Is your foot spa safe for use even after cleaning and disinfection? Safe-Spa Bacteria Test allows you
to screen your foot spa water for bacterial contamination.
The test works similarly to a home pregnancy test, utilizing an indicator strip with easy readout.
There are no water samples to send in. The readout is visual, rapid and no instrumentation is needed.
Results are available in 20 minutes.
For more information, call 800-578-1444 or visit www.sensuoussolutions.com.
3. Tighten, Hydrate, and Improve Skin Texture
Enspri Marine Collagen Hydrating Mask is specially formulated to complement existing products
used by the skincare professionals; it is not meant to replace them. It will work with your current products
to provide added benefits for your customers. This is a great way to add a premium service to your
menu without the cost of bringing in a complete back bar or retail line.
The professional back bar consists of only three products:
Enspri Collagen 5000—100 percent marine collagen peptide in a unique powder form, free of
unwanted additives, preservatives and chemicals.
Enspri Collagen Activator Gel—beneficial blend of Organic Aloe Vera, Cucumber Fruit Extract,
Green Tea Extract and Vitamin A, C and E offer key anti-oxidants and provide additional hydrating,
softening, soothing and healing properties.
Ceramide Skin Essence—a rich hydrating essence that uses a state-of-the-art Ceramide technology
to form a protective barrier layer on the skin, helping regulate moisture loss.
For more information, call 877-ENSPRI4 or visit www.enspri.biz.
4. No More Wrist Pain for Hair Braiders
Wrist pain, strain and weakness is a problem that can have a negative affect on your braiding practice.
Many stylists use a twisting technique or rattail comb when unbraiding hair, causing undue stress
on the wrist. Additionally, the combs can break because they are not designed for such use.
Natasha Anderson-Imara, president of Glamour Devine, came up with a solution. The UnBraider
is engineered to take down six to eight braids at a time. It is the only product on the market designed
and engineered to do this.
The key features are: there is no twisting of the wrist; it is an ultra-fast hand-held tool for taking
down braids and engineered and designed to take down micro individuals and corn rolls. It is engineered
and designed to minimize hair breakage and loss and both take down braids while at the same
time combing out unbraided hair. This is the two in one process.
For more information, visit www.theunbraider.com or call 909-624-0500.
5. 100% Human Hair Long Hair Wefts
Ron Cardillo, president of So.Cap. USA announced, “Our new wefts are carefully sewn with a
special machine that delivers a high level of workmanship to ensure the weft’s strength and durability.”
The company is launching a new line of 100 percent human long hair wefts. The wefts are available
in two lengths: 12-16 inches and 20-24 inches, in straight, wavy and curly textures. These new
long hair wefts are easy to apply. Hair designers will simply cut the weft to the desired length and then
apply with hypoallergenic adhesive.
The adhesives have been designed to closely match the client’s hair and are offered in six different
hypoallergenic adhesive colors including black, dark brown, light brown, blonde, pale blonde and red.
There are many benefits to this new professional weft long hair system. Using an easy and semipermanent
application process, it provides a harmless long-lasting attachment giving new length,
volume and color.
For more information, call 877-855-4247 or visit www.SoCapUSA.com.
