Winter spa manicure
OPI resident educator and A-Team expert Bryony McMillan has been with OPI for over 2 years and is well known as an expert in the field of hand care and nail treatment. Her portfolio is ever expanding, having recently worked with some top stars at the MOBO awards. She works day to day as an educator at OPI’s HO, heading up the education team and delivering training classes across all OPI treatment and colour ranges, from foundation to advanced masterclasses.There is no one better to advise on how you should be presenting and positioning your manicure service this winter, as well as recommending additional homecare lines to support your retail income. And there is no better system to deliver this service than OPI’s Avoplex Spa Manicure system.
“There’s no harder working part of your body than your hands,” explains Bryony “they’re put through constant stresses on a daily basis and combined with the upcoming change in season there is no better time to be encouraging your clients to enjoy a full OPI spa manicure service.
“It’s really no different than any other skin care regime and your spa manicure service should be positioned exactly as this to replenish, condition and soothe hard-working hands.”

Skin Cycling 101
If you ever spend time on social media, then you'll definitely have heard about skin cycling, or skin fasting. During the pandemic, this three-step regime rose to popularity as many of us had more time to spend on pursuing our 'perfect' skin. Read on to find out the what and why of skin cycling and how you can build it into your beauty therapy menu.
Vegan and Cruelty-Free Hair and Beauty: Simple Swaps and Recommendations for Veganuary
The new year often brings a sense of renewal, self-improvement and positive change. For many, this means reducing the consumption of animal products and embracing a more compassionate lifestyle. As hair and beauty professionals, we can support and promote this growing movement by embracing vegan and cruelty-free options. However, transitioning to fully vegan products may initially seem daunting. This is why, in this post, we will explore some simple swaps you can try in January that are still highly effective and recommendations for vegan styling products and treatments to expand your offerings this Veganuary. We aim to make embracing ethical beauty approachable and attainable so you can focus on what matters most - caring for your clients with confidence and care.
Simple swaps this Veganuary
Start Small: It can be overwhelming to transition to fully vegan products overnight. One simple swap you can make is changing your hair brushes and combs to those made from natural materials such as bamboo (link to bamboo page) or wood. Not only are these products sustainable and eco-friendly, but they also help reduce static hair and promote healthy shine. Another easy swap for your salon or personal use is choosing cruelty-free and vegan nail polishes from brands like The Manicure Company. Ethically made and with an unwavering commitment to being a vegan and cruelty-free brand, Zero Gel Polish is widely available at our stores and comes in a vast array of colours. These small changes can make a big difference
