Where to find advice - We’re in this together...
Once again, we’re in a nationwide lockdown and all personal care-related facilities have been told to close. We’ve been through this before, and we will get through it again, but if you need extra advice and support, check out these essential organisations.
National Hair & Beauty Federation
Although the NHBF team is working from home themselves, that hasn’t stopped them from monitoring the coronavirus situation on a daily and weekly basis. Each week they create reports that cover England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. This means the advice and information they put out there is truly up to the minute, and it’s worth adding https://www.nhbf.co.uk/coronavirus/ to your bookmarks online. On the site you will find a dedicated Coronavirus hub full of blogs and updates, for mobile stylists, therapists, salon owners and barbers. From applying the rules to coping with a business downturn, you won’t feel alone.
As well as information, the NHBF also provides 24/7 legal advice, and is there to answer any queries you have via phone and email.

Capital Online

British Beauty Council
Over on Instagram the BBC is really pushing and lobbying the UK government to make changes that would help support the hairdressing sector. As hairdressing alone is worth over £6.6billion to the UK, the BBC wants to encourage an industry that currently feels like it’s been forgotten. Following the BBC Instagram means you’ll not only get information, but you’ll feel like you are being seen, and that you’re being listened to. With weekly Lives that focus on everything from mastering social media to how to raise investment, this is a must-follow. Find them at @britishbeautycouncil or visit them at https://britishbeautycouncil.com
NHS
No one could have predicted the effects of a pandemic. More than six months in, not only are we trying to find practical solutions to financial losses and business worries; we’re also feeling more mental strain than many of us have ever had to deal with before. At times like this, it can be easy or tempting to just opt out, take a few duvet days, but sometimes, it’s better to reach out. There’s definitely some merit in that old saying of ‘a problem shared’. Being at home for prolonged periods of time can leave us feeling bored, lonely and frustrated – and these are all normal feelings. Sometimes a long walk can shake off those thoughts, but sometimes, we really need to talk to someone. Visit https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/stress-anxiety-depression/mental-health-helplines/ to see the NHS recommended mental health charities.
Hair and beauty business magazines
Industry titles such as Hairdressers Journal and Professional Beauty are keeping their dedicated audiences informed and supported with a wealth of content online. At professionalbeauty.co.uk there are hundreds of articles available, from advice on re-opening in a post-Covid world to how to create video content. On hji.co.uk there are stress-busting videos, advice on Christmas retailing and tons of hair collections to muse over.

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.
