HEADTOTOE Winter Special
Winter is the perfect time to treat your clients to some all-over love. From nourishing hair treatments to nails, feet and skin, our experts share their winter must-haves.FROM THE TOP...
"We offer our clients smoothing keratin treatments to keep hair looking and feeling conditioned during the Winter months, which is when it can feel its most brittle. Keratin treatments offer intense hydration and rejuvenation and protect hair from environmental elements such as cold temperatures, wind and rain."
Dylan Brittain, International Artistic Director, Rainbow Room.
"During the Winter months our range of conditioning shampoos, conditioners and leave-in masques become our top sellers, along with in-salon conditioning treatments." Philip Bell, Ishoka Hair & Beauty
"Deep conditioning treatments are essential during Winter as they help hair retain moisture and nourishment and keep it looking and feeling strong, manageable and healthy. In the salon we offer a number of treatments as well as aftercare products. I always advise clients use a deep conditioning mask/treatment at home once or twice a week and then come into the salon every two to three months for a more intense treatment. Salon treatments are also a great way of encouraging client loyalty as a treatment can make your client feel pampered and special."
Mathew Watt, Mathew Watt Hair.
"As we head into Winter, the drop in temperature can have a very harsh, immediate effect on the hair. It's essential that you encourage clients to take precautions in order to protect their hair from losing its condition and also, it's colour! I would always recommend a deep conditioning treatment at home to inject key nutrients back into the hair, ensuring that they are locked in and providing a barrier for the hair." Chris Williams, International Colour Director, RUSH Hair.
EXTRA ATTENTION...
Rachel Gribble, Salon System Educator says it's easy to forget hands and feet in the Winter months. Here's how she cares for her clients.
Hands:
"With the colder temperatures, hands often become dry and chapped. Encourage clients to always wear gloves to keep hands protected, and take extra care of the skin in the coldest months with some nourishing treatments. I like NAILUX Brighten Hand & Foot Mask; it's softening and refining mask with skin-brightening papaya fruit extract and enriched with nourishing shea butter and sweet almond oil for silky smooth skin."
Feet:
"Feet need looking after all year round - not just in the Summer months when they're more likely to be on show! Consider offering 'Winter Warmer' nourishing pedicures to target dry skin in the colder months. Paraffin wax, heated booties and ultra-nourishing products such as Salon System's NAILUX Nourish Foot Cream will make a pedicure even more appealing on those cold days."
LET'S FACE IT...
"Our skin tends to become very dry and dehydrated during the Winter; the lack of moisture in the air paired with the biting cold climate really does take its toll. It's important to inject come moisture back into the skin and an ultra-hydrating and moisturising facial is a great way to do so. A facial penetrates the skin beneath the surface and encourages collagen production, the vital ingredient that improves the elasticity of the skin, giving it that plump, glowing look that goes hand in hand with hydration."
Kirsty Rodziewicz, Perfectly Posh Hair Design

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.
