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!
K18 & Lightener/Bleach or Hair Colour
Before diving into your lightening or colouring process, it's crucial to prepare the hair properly. Start by using the K18 Chelator to remove any damage-causing metal and mineral build-up, resetting the hair for optimal chemical services. Follow up with the K18 PRO mist, allowing it to penetrate the hair for 4 minutes before proceeding with your service. This step not only reverses existing damage but also helps prevent new damage during the process. After toning, apply the K18 PRO mist again before finishing with the K18 Mask to reverse damage and provide essential nourishment.
K18 & Perms
When incorporating K18 into your perm services, begin by using the K18 Chelator to prepare the hair for optimal results. Apply the K18 PRO mist before and after the perm process, ensuring to wait 4 minutes between applications. This helps reverse existing damage and reconnect broken keratin chains, restoring the hair's integrity. Avoid using K18 PRO mask or oil immediately after the perm service to prevent weighing down freshly styled curls.
K18 & Relaxer
For clients opting for a relaxer treatment, start by using the K18 Chelator to remove any build-up and prepare the hair. Apply the K18 PRO mist before the relaxer process, allowing it to work its magic for 4 minutes. After the relaxer is complete, apply the K18 Mask to reconnect broken keratin chains and restore any resulting damage.
K18 & Japanese Straightening or Thermal Reconditioners
Prioritise hair health by incorporating K18 into Japanese straightening or thermal reconditioning services. Begin with the K18 Chelator to remove build-up, followed by the K18 PRO mist to reverse damage. After processing, apply the K18 Mask to restore the hair's integrity and minimize any damage from the chemical process.
K18 & Keratin Treatments
Enhance keratin treatments with the restorative power of K18. Prepare the hair with the K18 Chelator and apply the K18 PRO mist before beginning the treatment. After 4 minutes, proceed with the keratin treatment as usual. Clients can continue their hair repair journey at home by using the K18 Mask post-service.
Molecular Repair Service (K18 & Blow Dry)
Offer clients a dedicated Molecular Repair Service using K18 products to strengthen and fortify their hair. Start with the K18 Chelator, followed by the K18 PRO mist and mask application. After allowing the products to work their magic, proceed with the blow-dry process for visibly healthier hair.
K18 & a Haircut
Even during routine haircuts, K18 can make a significant difference in hair health. Begin with the K18 Chelator, then apply the K18 PRO mist and mask for added protection and repair. Healthy hair means less cutting, allowing you to maintain your client's style while promoting hair integrity.
How much should I be charging for a K18 treatment and how much profit can I expect to make?
You can anticipate charging your clients anywhere from £15 to £30 per treatment, although this may vary depending on factors such as salon location, experience, and other considerations. The potential profit per treatment typically ranges between £8.00 and £20.50 per client. How much profit can you expect to make? Let’s do the maths! If your salon is charging £15 per client and see 20 clients weekly, you could earn £160 in profit per week, £640 per month, and a substantial £8320 per year! By integrating K18 products into your salon treatments, you're not just reversing damage and strengthening hair, you're also enhancing salon outcomes and boosting your bottom line. Save our comprehensive guide for future reference, allowing you to confidently provide top-tier hair restoration services to your clientele. From lightening to styling, K18 stands as your ultimate salon go-to product for hair like new in under 4 minutes!

From Money Worries to Family Drama: What's Stressing Your Skin & Hair the Most?
Have you ever noticed how closely linked your mind and body are? It's like they're always communicating, even when we're not tuned in.
And when stress creeps in, it's not just your mind that feels the burden – your skin and hair can take a hit too. Stress, whether it's a short-term or a long-term problem, can be detrimental to your body's health.
In fact, a recent survey by the UK’s largest independent supplier to hair and beauty professionals, Capital Hair and Beauty, revealed nearly half (42%) of the nation believe that stress has had a negative impact on their skin and hair health!
Last year, Brits faced their fair share of hair and skin woes.Topping the list was the recurring issue of dry skin, affecting a significant 29% of the population. Not too far behind was hair thinning/loss, troubling over a fifth (22%) of us, while acne and breakouts are also a cause for concern, affecting 19% of survey respondents. And let's not forget about skin inflammation (12%) and eczema (11%).
Something Old - Something New
Does the bob ever go out of style? Short answer: No. The reason for the evergreen appeal of the bob is because, depending on the length, it’s a look that can suit any face shape or hair texture. Right now, it can be anything from a short and swingy French girl bob, a luxurious long bob, or a razor-cut curly bob. For Tori Kiff, it’s about keeping things fresh with the addition of a fringe.
“I love updating a classic curly bob with a fringe, especially as so many of my curly clients seem to think it’s a style they shouldn’t have. I’ve managed to show so many clients that it’s all down to fear and that actually, a curly bob is so flattering and easy to style; I advise them to use their fingers to curl their fringes or to use a brush when styling,” shares Tori.
Of course, the most modern way to wear a bob is the Bixie, a hybrid of the bob and pixie; think classic bob updated with a fringe or micro bangs, or you could play with the Butterfly Bob. RUSH Creative Director Andy Heasman’s a fan.

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
