What March and
April have in
store for…
House of Colour celebrates
THE ALEX HOTEL IN Dublin welcomed the 130-strong House of Colour team for its annual
awards. The salon group was not only celebrating its successes over the past year, but also
looking back over a 20-year history. David Campbell hosted the evening, which saw the
Abbey Street branch (pictured above) win salon of the year, and Drogheda win creative salon
and premier salon, among other awards. The trainee dream team was also announced,
the lucky members of which will learn alongside the creative team. Here’s to 20 more years!
BUSINESS BRAINS
AT PHOREST
THE FOURTH ANNUAL Phorest Salon
Owners Summit saw more than 500 salon
owners and managers come together in Dublin
for a day of expert advice. The keynote speaker
was Tabatha Coffey, salon owner, business
coach and star of TV show Tabatha Takes
Over, who inspired and motivated delegates.
She was joined by Gavin Hoare, salon
manager at Richard Ward Hair and Metrospa,
who discussed the universal needs of clients;
and Valerie Delforge, who revealed practical
ways to motivate your staff. Steven Martin,
director of Influence at Work, spoke about
his six principles of persuasion – reciprocity,
scarcity, authority, consistency, likeability
and social proof. There were also a number of
workshops on the day, which ended with food
and entertainment at NoLita.

CUT AND SEW MAKES IT
ON THE BIG SCREEN
Cut and Sew teamed up with visual artists
community Collective Dublin to create
a documentary about the lifestyle and
subcultures surrounding the legendary
barbershop. Not Just A Barbershop was
filmed over five months and showcases the
special relationship barbers enjoy with the
community around them. Cut and Sew owner,
Sean Bryan, said: “There’s a certain code
between barbers and clients – what gets said in
the shop stays there – but there’s a loyalty too
as we grow with our clients and go through life
with them.” The documentary was launched
at a sold-out screening at the Sugar Club in
Dublin, with live DJ sets and a Q&A where
Sean, director Mark Logan and videographer
Kenneth Adams shared their experience of
making the film.
