Ready, Set, GLOW!
You can’t deny the excitement of summer – smiles are wider, days are longer and your clients just want to feel good. Check out our update on the tanning and waxing trends you’ll need to stay ahead of to deliver exactly what your client wants.
TANNING TRENDS
Over the next five years spray tanning is set to explode. Industry reports put it down to a diversified audience and it makes a lot of sense. The market is growing in two key sectors; men’s tanning, which has steadily been on the rise over the past few years, but more recently, women of colour are picking up tanning products. It seems everyone, whatever their tone, is wanting to add a glow to their skin and tanning has become an essential luxury.
Remember, your clients have been cooped up indoors for months which means they’ve missed out on those occasional afternoons in the sun that give even the palest amongst us a nice, gradual tan. With that in mind, think about your tanning offerings; a good place to start is to think of different depths: light, medium and dark.
LIGHT
Ideal for women of colour who have found that their skin appears more dull after working from home for several months. Offering a light spray tan will bring some life back into the skin and by adding some shimmer post-spray you can show them just how much they can benefit from a regular tanning treatment.
TRY: Sienna X Skin Finish Illuminating Mist makes skin glow and glisten and is perfect to use after tanning.
MEDIUM
A slightly deeper tan is great for your male clients who don’t want to do too much. By offering a medium spray your male clients can pop in a little less frequently; just be sure to educate them on the take-home products that will help them maintain their glow for longer.
TRY: Sienna X 1 Hour Self Tan Tinted Mousse is the perfect way to keep colour golden for clients who like to build up gradually.
HEAVY
This is a great option for those clients who have felt they have really missed out on their usual travels. Think frequent fliers and the super-busy who don’t have time to keep up with regular appointments. Even though you’re offering a deeper, darker result, be sure to inform them on how to take care of it and to avoid looking patchy over time.
TRY: White To Brown Professional 16% DHA Spray Solution for clients who want a beautiful, rich, deep tone.
Here Lisa Stone, Waxing Expert and Salon System Educator shares her waxing predictions for 2021
Covid has impacted all sectors of the hair and beauty industry and the waxing sector is no exception. With long lockdowns our clients have had to look to DIY hair removing methods, and as much as we have encouraged them to avoid shaving, we can’t expect them to live with unwanted hair growth for such long periods of time!
Clients would have used shavers and creams and even home waxing systems, all of which would have made an impact on their hair texture and hair growth cycles and might even have caused trauma, skin damage – even skin allergies.
As your clients return you will see noticeable changes to their growth patterns and cycles and you’ll need to work out regular appointments to bring hair growth back into a more manageable cycle. Think about managing and possibly correcting at-home brow styling and work on getting hair growth back to a soft texture that can only come from waxing – rather than the sharp uncomfortable stubble that shaving leaves behind. We also need to help build clients’ self-confidence and self-esteem back up as many of them would have had to forego their regular waxing appointments for months; never underestimate what clean, smooth hair-free skin can do for someone’s confidence!
There could also be some re-education for clients who have become complacent or comfortable with their DIY treatments and just need reminding of all the benefits a professional wax can give.
MOST-REQUESTED
As summer approaches the most sought-after treatments will be bikini, Hollywood and Brazilians, back and chest as well as legs and underarm. Plus, your clients will be lining up for a good brow re-style.
Waxing and wax products have changed so much for the better over the last few years and companies are constantly looking for new improved formulas. This is true for Salon System as it continually works on providing wax products that don’t just remove hair, but remove it with ease and care for the skin in the gentle way.
As well as striving for amazing formulations it also works towards sustainability, recently introducing a new wax that has recyclable packaging and a line of vegan-friendly products.
This fabulous new hot wax is part of the Salon System JUST WAX Expert range and has a beautiful zesty aroma, low melting temperature with a soft creamy texture and offers superior client comfort with a fast but incredible flexibility.
Right now we have some amazing offers on, with up to 20% off selected tanning and multi-buy waxing. Head to capitalhairandbeauty.co.uk between 1st June and 31st August to take advantage!

The K18 ingredients you need for your cleanest hair yet!
Has your client ever asked you abour ingredients in the products that you use on them?
Have you found yourself scanning the back of the packaging and googling the names and feeling a little lost?
You're not alone. Ingredient labels are complex when it comes to haircare and contain an array of unfamilar natural chemical and biological ingredients with confusing names. We are here to give you the tools you need to translate and explain to your clients what is in the products that you use on them in the salon and which K18 products can help you achieve the cleanest hair yet!
A Week In My Shoes - Yovanka Loria
Spend the week with Yovanka Loria, a salon owner and founder of a multifaceted global business, Yovanka Loria Extensions.
Is K18 a Protein?
K18 is built differently...
As hair stylists, we all know about protein overload. That dreaded dry, brittle feeling in the hair is not only an undesirable result, but any treatments you apply won't be able to penetrate deep into the hair fibre and work their magic. But don’t worry! K18 has got your back.
Chantelle: Capital & Me, my self-employed journey & the importance of networking
Introducing Chantelle, a talented beautician, hair extension specialist and proud owner of ‘Chantelle’s Beautique’. We sit down with Chantelle as she tells us how she started out in the industry, her top tips for becoming self-employed, struggles she faced and overcame along the way and her favourite products that she can’t live without!
My treatment room is based in my garden at home and I offer a full range of Hair and Beauty treatments specialising in skin care, brows & hair extensions. My clients love my set up and really appreciate the little touches like being able to park with ease and having more of a cosy experience away from the hustle and bustle of a busy salon. As well as running my own business at home, I also enjoy teaching others on their journey starting out in the trade with my own accredited courses at home as another branch of my business called ‘The Hair and Beauty Training Beautique’. You may also see me in your local Capital Hair & Beauty as I also tutor for one of their training providers ‘Face Forward’ offering brow lamination and lash lift and tint courses.
Meet Sophie, owner of ‘Sophie’s Lashes & Beauty’ which she has been running now for over 7 years!
Sophie gained a wealth of experience working in the industry from her background working in prestigious 5 hotel & spa and salon settings which lead her up to starting a business of her own. We talk about all things beauty and the curved tweezers that she can’t live without!
Hi Sophie, tell us a little bit about your journey and how you go into the industry and what lead up to starting out on your own?
I gained a lot of knowledge from working in different settings from working with a big teams in a 5 star hotels and spas to smaller beauty salon environments. I gained so much knowledge from working in both settings and although it was hard work and long hours.
I started out by working in a few different 5 star hotels with spas and a salons where I gained all my knowledges and experiences from each one to put together for my own business! It was hard work and long hours all the practice paid off. It was actually one of my clients I saw regularly in the salon I worked at that said I should set up on my own and gave me the confidence to go self-employed and I’ve not looked back since!
K18 Biomimetic Hair Science vs. Bond Builders
As professionals in the hairdressing industry, we're well aware of the constant innovation occurring in our field. Our clients love to dramatically alter their look with the ever-changing trends and we do everything we can to prioritise the health of their hair. Bond-building treatments have long been a staple in salons to address this need. However, allow us to present the latest advancement: biomimetic hair science and K18!
Understanding the Future of Haircare: From Bond Builders to Biomimetic Hair Science
For centuries, the haircare industry relied on cosmetic chemistry to conceal damage. Historical solutions like oils and conditioners were designed to sit on the surface of the hair, providing a temporary fix by improving its appearance and manageability. However, these solutions fell short of addressing hair's health at its core.
K18 & Your Salon Services - How to incorporate K18 Services for Ultimate Hair Restoration
Learn how to leverage K18 products in your salon services to reverse damage, fortify hair and enhance salon results all whilst boosting your salon profits. Discover our step-by-step instructions for every treatment, from lightening to styling in our handy salon go-to guide!
What is K18 and how does it work?
Following the natural structure of hair, the biologically active peptide is considered natural. Unlike traditional bonding agents, it is not rinsed away by water or shampoo, making K18 a genuine and enduring remedy for damaged hair. Healthy hair originates in the salon, and K18 believes its influence starts at the salon chair and radiates outward. While K18 is suitable for all hair types and services, the most significant improvements are seen in damaged hair.
