    With the ridiculous amount of snow that has blanketed much of the country in the last month, its hard to believe that spring is coming, but it is. In fact, its only a few short weeks away. For many women, the arrival of spring comes packaged with a desire for changeits a seasonal combo pack of sorts. This is the perfect time to promote haircolor products and spruce up your store by creating a special haircolor display. The display doesnt have to require the use of an entire aisle or if you dont have space for something extravagant. It can be as simple as setting up a beautiful table at the front of your store to draw attention to your color section. Check out the article starting on page 56 in this issue to find out how to get started. When it comes to promoting haircolor in your store, dont feel limited by the boxes and bottles of color on your shelf. Its important to remind customers about the other options that are available for enhancing or changing color such as temporary spray-on color, brush-on temporary color (think of the products in your inventory that look like mascara for hair), colored hair extensions and even wigs. Thats rightwigs. For the customer that is apprehensive about committing to a color or concerned about whether her hair is strong enough to handle color, recommend that she try wearing a wig that mimics the color she is curious about. This way, she can see how the color might work for her without being forced to accept a trial-and-error commitment. Successfully selling color is a great way to build customer loyalty one root and highlight touch-up at a time.

    February How SHould you Sell It? FeedbackOur February topic regarding the best way to sell chemical and natural products received so much great feedback we couldnt fit it all in one issue. Weve printed more responses below that can help you maximize these products in your store.

    2 , . .

    Today, customers are educating themselves with the Internet when it comes to researching ingredients and finding what best suits their hair texture. The best way a store can market products for individuals looking for a chemical treatment and those who are going natural is to offer a variety of products. There are several companies targeting specific hair textures and styles. Since one thing doesnt work for everybody, offering samples and a variety helps the consumer find which [product] is best for them.

    , . , . . , .

    Kim EtheredgeMixed Chicks

    OTCs can take advantage of being able to segment merchandise strong-selling maintenance and styling products by brand and category. Generally, most stores have enough merchandise to do this. Certain [products] can be used on natural and relaxed hair, but theyre merchandised among all other types of products. A consumer with natural hair that is specifically looking for those products winds up frustrated, having to read label after label looking for an item. If retailers create a section just for natural hair products, consumers can easily identify therapies that work best for their hair type and texture. Merchandising [dual use] products in two different areasby brand and also in a natural hair sectiongives the product double exposure. This gives both the relaxed and natural hair consumer a convenient way to find the product. By creating a natural hair section, products can be further segmented and merchandised at the shelf to accommodate the variety of styles and textures that exist within the natural category. These styles include twists, locks, afros, blow outs, heat-styles, etc. It is important for manufacturers to provide product knowledge to OTCs so that they know which products offer benefits for both natural and relaxed hair. . , . , . , , . , , . , . . , . twists, locks, afros, blow outs, heat-styles . .

  • How should you sell it?

    20 OTC Beauty Magazine March 2011

    This months selling focus is...

    Please share three tips that beauty supply owners can share with their customers for achieving the right haircolor at home.Tip #1: To best match your skin tone, hold a hair swatch next to your skin. This will give you an idea of how your skin will look next to different shades before committing to hair color.Tip #2: Use the display located on the haircolor kit to

    view the expected color results based on your current hair color. Most kits, including Creme of Nature hair color kits, show an image of your natural hair and the expected results based on your starting shade.Tip#3: Complete a preliminary strand test on a small section of hair prior to coloring your entire head. This will give a true picture of how the color will process on your hair.

    A customer purchased haircolor that did not give them the results they were expecting and they return to the store to share their frustration with the owner. What do you think is the best

    way for a storeowner to handle this situation?The store owner should encourage the customer to call the customer service line for the haircolor manufacturer so that they can receive advice to achieve the desired color. In addition, most manufacturer Web sites give tips for achieving the best haircolor results online, which is a

    great resource for consumers.

    When it comes to coloring natural hair, what is the most important thing for consumers to know?Everyone loves coloring their hair, but hates how dry and brittle the hair can become after coloring due to a lack of moisture. In between color services it is very important to use a moisturizing shampoo like the Creme of Nature Kiwi & Citrus

    Ultra Moisturizing Shampoo and deep conditioning treatment to keep the hair nourished, soft and conditioned. Not only will the hair be easy to manage, but healthy hair really allows the haircolor to radiate.

    What five things should customers be mindful of when selecting haircolor?Selecting haircolor can be a challenging process, however here are few tips to make it easier. Always consider your skin tone, natural hair color, wardrobe, personality and

    career before making your color transformation. When it comes to coloring hair that has previously been treated with chemicals, what is the most important thing for consumers to know?Preventing breakage with double processed hair is very important. The most important tip to remember is to relax the hair first and wait at least two weeks before applying permanent haircolor to the hair. Following up with a strengthening treatment can keep the hair healthy and prevent damage.

    Seven Hallmarks

    of a Great Workplace 7

    What exactly makes a workplace great? What are the specific characteristics common to those very special workplaces that are universally recognized as the indisputable signs of a superior operation? If there is a more basic (or fascinating) question for a workplace and the people who inhabit it, it hasnt been found. A workplace that successfully attains the following characteristicswhatever size it might be or industry it may be incan proudly and accurately call itself great.

    1. A cleAr mission And purpose for beingThe very best workplaces in the world knowreally knowwho they are and what their core purpose is. They have a straightforward, concise mission statement (i.e., who they are) that is readily understandable and enthusiastically embraced by each and every employee. Such great workplaces have carefully identified those factors critical to their long-term success (i.e., those services and/or facilities they must do, and continue to do, exceptionally well) as well as their specific vision for the future (what our store will likely be in five to ten years). Great workplaces develop detailed action plans and accompanying areas of responsibility to insure that their vision for the future is more than some pie-in-the-sky dream; it is concrete, actionable, measurable and (with perseverance on everyones part) achievable.

    2. forwArd thinking, creAtive senior mAnAgement And A cAring, well-trAined stAffNo workplace can remain superior over any meaningful period of time without quality leadership at the top as well as a caring, well-trained support staff. At great workplaces, everyone is fully committed to doing whatever it takes to insure the companys ongoing success year-in and year-out. Equally as important, great workplaces attract people from myriad backgrounds and with talents that complement and enhance each other to the benefit of all employees as well as the customer base. At a great workplace, individuality is valued and cherished, but teamwork remains first and foremost.

    3. meAningful workA great workplace allowsbetter yet, encouragesits employees to do what they deem meaningful. Of course, the term meaningful denotes different things to different people. What is meaningful work for a CEO of a multi-billion dollar company may, but not necessarily, differ significantly from that of a solo entrepreneur store owner. Both canor cannotbe genuinely viewed as meaningful work, depending on the perspectives of the individuals involved. For most people, work is meaningful when it is sufficiently autonomous, appropriately complex, and has a perceived direct relationship between the effort invested (i.e., time on the job) and the accompanying return (i.e., compensation). Great workplaces offer their team members the opportunity for each and every employee, irrespective of their education, talents, and experiences, to consistently do what they themselves perceive as genuinely meaningful.

    K-t-K4. reAsonAble, understAndAble, And uniformly enforced work rulesGreat workplaces have rules and policies that are reasonable, understandable, and, perhaps most importantly, fairly and uniformly enforced. For instance, if smoking is prohibited in the work environment, that means plainly and simply, no one smokes: not the owner, not the manager, not the new associate. The rules and policies at great workplaces are neither capricious nor arbitrary. They are not written in language so complex that nobody but a senior tax attorney can comprehend. Ideally, they are not written to prevent employees from doing something, but rather to set appropriate standards whereby all employees are assured the opportunity to maximize their potential. In short, great workplaces embrace rules and policies that reflect the core values of the workplace as well as the expectations of the employees and customers in a fair and logical manner.

    5. An AppropriAte blending of trAdition And innovAtion. While great workplaces are environments where employees devote a significant amount of time to improving current products and services as well as creating new ones, they are also places where tradition and continuity are highly valued. Longstanding products are not whimsically eliminated to the detriment of loyal customers; rather, they are continually improved as circumstances dictate to the benefit of all concerned. At great workplaces, all are aware and proud of their companys origins and heritage, its growth and evolution, its positive reputation in the community, its quality products and services, its mission for the present, and its vision for the future.

    6. open communicAtion Among All vested pArtiesGreat workplaces have regular, honest communication between everyone involved with, and interested in, the long-term success of the company. Staff and customers are always kept informed of, and are encouraged to appropriately participate in, the company mission, vision, policies, and procedures as well as any significant changes under consideration. In other words, they are given adequate opportunity to convey their ideas and suggestions to store leadership. Managers at great workplaces are unwavering in their commitment to management by walking around, because they know that this time-tested practice promotes open communication and minimizes potential problems. Great workplaces typically regularly and effectively communicate the various opportunities available to staff and customers in an accurate and timely manner.

    7. fiscAl responsibilityLast, but certainly not least, great workplaces are fiscally prudent in the manner they operate. They have detailed, multiyear business plans that feature accurate income and expense projections, conservative cash flow estimates, sufficient funding for research, development, infrastructure maintenance, renovation and expansion, and realistic cash flow projections. In addition, great businesses rigorously monitor and adjust their financial plans on a regular basis and as circumstances dictate. The know exactly how much money will be required to provide the quality products their customers want and expect as well the specific costs associated with them. The long-term financial well-being of the workplace remains a high priority in the minds of all concerned. A great workplace, in summary, employs happy, productive and talented people who perform meaningful work compatible with the mission, vision, and financial goals of the company. It takes constant effort and vigilance to be a truly great workplace, but the end result is well worth it.

    Tipsfor HealthyHaircolor

    Summer is quickly approaching and many are trying to reinvent themselves, whether it be with sun kissed highlights or colorful locks. As celebrities are seen frolicking on the beaches of Barbados or basking in the sun on yachts in San Tropez consumers are inspired by their trendsetting looks. So as we gladly say goodbye to cold winds and hello to warmer weather its the perfect time for a new do. As master stylist Ursula Stephens is responsible for crafting Rihannas trendsetting hair styles that inspire millions of women to change their haircolor from jet black to fire engine redmakes you wonder what fashion trendsetters have predicted to be this seasons it color. But no matter what haircolor consumers are wearing, Bigens Technical Advisor and International Educator, Regenia Marble, offers five tips that will help maintain healthy color treated hair.

    Begin Slowly Natural haircolor often times lacks the vibrancy of a rich shade that consumers so desperately try and achieve. So when it comes to choosing the perfect haircolor, consumers should select a dye that is two shades darker or lighter than their original haircolor. When going for a more dramatic effect, they should pick a shade that complements their skin complexion and eye color as these two factors play an important role in the overall outcome. With a fresh new haircolor that is sure to turn heads, consumers should make sure to pick a color that fits their personality as they sport their new look with confidence.

    It Starts at the Scalp The key to healthy haircolor starts at the root with a healthy scalp. Consumers can minimize clogged pores by regularly shampooing hair with warm water. More specifically, they should look for shampoos that are specifically for color treated hair. These shampoos often times have pH adjusters that maximize the color effect, replenish nutrients and prevent color fading. Adding a daily supplement of vitamins will also help give hair the added strength it needs to endure all the fashion forward color jobs that have the tendency to damage the hair.

    Generously Apply Conditioner With so many products to choose from consumers should once again choose a product that is specific to their needs. With color treated hair they should purchase a conditioner that helps to moisturize the hair. As the color process, while it is fashion forward, it tends to strip the hair of essential nutrients. Similar to that of the shampoo, these conditioners will often times have pH adjusters that help maintain vibrant color while keeping the hair shiny and healthy looking.

    Eliminate Split Ends After any color treatment it is important that consumers maintain their gorgeous new locks, as they have just made a long-term commitment to sustaining healthy color treated hair. As the chemical process creates more split ends, it is very important to get a regular trim to rid the hair of potential breakage. In order to sport a healthy mane, regular hair check-ups are a must, as lightening the hair often causes more damage than darker colors that hide existing breakage.

    No Ammonia When selecting the right haircolor look for formulas that are ammonia and hydrogen peroxide free, like Bigens Permanent and Semi-Permanent haircolors. These ingredients have a tendency to dry out hair leading to breakage and split ends. Hair care products with natural ingredients are always a plus! Natural extracts such as honey and beeswax provide the hair with a rich oil based formula that locks in color, moisture and leaves hair feeling silky and shiny looking. With so many products to choose from, whats a consumer to do? Deciphering between all the beautiful products on the shelf can be a daunting task when choosing the perfect haircolor that fits the consumers personal needs. Whether applying haircolor for a bold new look or to cover gray hairs, your customers should keep these hair tips in mind when achieving healthy color-treated hair.

    How to Permanently and Safely

    Color Relaxed Hair

    Generally, relaxed hair that has also been colored appears to be dry and lifeless. This is due to the fact that relaxed hair should not be colored in the same manner as virgin hair, which is hair that has not been previously relaxedbut it usually is. If your customer wants a permanent color on their relaxed hair, you should advise that they first obtain a relaxer and proceed with color afterward. They should not complete both processes on the same day. If the process is completed in the reverse order, the relaxer will lift most of the color. Permanent color formulas consist of two elements blended together to form the finished application. These two elements are the color and the peroxide or developer, usually mixed half-and-half. This 50/50 formula is fine for virgin hair. However, if this same mixture is used on relaxed hair, the hair will become over-processed. Let your customers know that it is a good idea to get a liquid protein treatment a few days prior to receiving color in order to repair much of the cuticle deterioration and porosity caused by relaxer treatments. Advise customers that they should never use any form of bleach on relaxed hair because it will deteriorate hair that has already been weakened from the relaxer. If your customer wants to apply a lighter color on dark hair, they should try using color that is two or three shades lighter than their desired result.

    The following information might be useful to your customers in regards to haircoloring. Use this information to answer their questions and learn pertinent information that will help you sound knowledgeable as well.

    Can Haircolor Help Hair Grow?The reason people believe that perms, relaxers, and haircolors help grow the hair is because with such services, there is a defined line of demarcation when new hair growth appears. They can now actually see the new natural growth pattern as distinguished from the treated hair. However, if they measure the length of the hair, they will discover that it is the same length or shorter than before. Chemical services such as those mentioned above have the potential to actually weaken hair, not make it stronger, so hair growth is not one of the advantages of these services. If these services aided in promoting or stimulating hair growth, then manufacturers would proudly say so in their advertising and on their packaging.

    Why Does Gray Hair Occasionally Turn Yellow or Green? Gray hair may become yellow because the hair absorbs the color that manufacturers add to their shampoos, conditioners and other hair care products. When gray hair turns green, it is the result of trying to neutralize the yellow with a blue rinse. Remember, yellow and blue make green. To correct this, you should recommend that your customer purchase a pH balanced or neutralizing shampoo. Next, sell them a purple or lavender color. Instruct them to add the color to the shampoo until it turns a deep color. Customers should then shampoo twice, rinse, dry and style. This should correct the yellow or green without depositing the color used in the shampoo.

    Why Does Virgin Textured Hair Require More Time to Process Permanent Color? A permanent haircolor service is performed somewhat differently on highly textured hair than it is on other hair types. This is because highly textured hair has twice as many overlapping cuticles than most straight hair. When natural hair draws up into a tight curl or kink, the cuticle layers back up into the cuticle, resulting in overlap. When permanent color is applied to natural, highly textured hair, the color takes longer to penetrate. Typically, box instructions state that color should be processed for about 45 minutes. However, on virgin hair, it may be necessary for a customer to process their color for one hour due to the fact that is has to penetrate twice as many cuticle layers. There are many product options available for customers to try at-home haircoloring. However, when it comes to corrective color, treating hair damaged by color, or even permanent colorit might be best to recommend that they seek the services of a professional.

    Everyone wants to look and feel good. But for multicultural celebrities and entertainers it is even more important. They may be on magazine covers, cable or network TV, in movies, or stage shows, at concerts or special events. With todays high definition television, any flaws will be magnified. Its not just stylists and barbers who are needed. Makeup artists and dermatologists are key to skin and scalp care. Some hair stylists like Barry Fletcher and John Atchison, attend to a raft of A-list celebrities including Halle Berry, Prince, Sheryl Lee Ralph and Phylicia Rashad. These star stylists often play another rolethat of educator. The Proud Lady Beauty Show held in the Sheraton Chicago Hotel and Towers hosted five professionals who talked about their styling techniques. Marcus Davis of Calumet City, Ill., has worked on Tyler Perry films and TV sitcoms; Kevin Kirk of Birmingham, Ala. was featured in the Chris Rock film Good Hair. Three of the Proud Lady educators are from Atlanta. Tajuana Hughes has worked with the recording artists Nappy Roots. Barber Craig Damon has Tyler Perry as a client and has worked on TV sitcoms. Tobby Leverette has gospel singers including The Clark Sisters and Dottie Peoples on his client list. Another Atlanta stylist, Dwight Eubanks, has a whole cast of celebrity clients: The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Eubanks salon, The Purple Door, was also a stop for the General Mills Feeding Dreams managers tour. One more stylist to add to the Atlanta constellation is Toni Love who wrote the book, The World of Wigs, Weaves, and Extensions. Following are some of these stylists along with a star they serve.

    Business Tipsby Stephanie Ware

    How Your Store Can Change Your CommunitYFrom the time I was a little girl, I can remember being part of the beauty industry. My mother is a beauty salon owner and a pretty savvy businesswoman. She left the industry for a while, but in 2006 decided it was time to get back and open a new salon. The first thing she did was come up with a strategy, and she looked at whom she was servicing. She studied her surroundings and watched who was coming in and out of her salon: the members of our community. She always told me, I am at the mercy of my neighborhood. There is a lot of money to be made in the beauty industry but first you have to advertise to get your store name in the mix. The saving grace for most stores are their customers, they are walking and talking billboards. The question is what do you do when you want to take it to the next level? In comes Independent We Stand, a national movement that focuses on helping small businesses such as beauty supply stores get their name out in the community. Independent We Stand shines a spotlight on the advantages of buying locally and why shopping at local stores and using local services actually helps your community, economy, and environment prosper. Independent We Stand is one of many groups that support the shop independent movement, but they have gained ground quickly: more than 19,500 small business owners and consumers have joined since November. Their goal is to help small businesses gain more attention and business from their communities, which will in turn help to create jobs, cause the community to reinforce their local ties, and make their neighborhoods better places to live through economic reinvestment. Buy Local is the concept of using your local resources and buying your goods and services from locally owned and operated businesses. When small businesses begin to buy

    local, they are investing in each others business. If a beauty supply store finds a local product distributor that they like, then they are keeping revenue in the place that is most importanthome. Customers need to know that when they invest time and money in a local company, that the company will reinvest in its community. It is a never-ending cycle that benefits the neighborhood and everyone in it. According to studies available at www.IndependentWeStand.org, small businesses are more likely to donate to charities and invest time in their neighborhood. When you close your store for the night, those very people you serviced as customers now become your neighbors. The small business owner understands that how they run their business will not only affect their livelihood, but also their community. Their children play in the same parks, their families go to the same gas stations and local restaurants. They not only want to see the area grow, they are more likely to give to the little league teams fundraiser or contribute to the school system. Local businesses add a certain flair to a community, and your store could be the reason that people from all reaches come back over and over again, and it can be the reason why people choose to stay.

  • According to the National Federation of Independent Business, 2010 ended a better year than it began for business owners. Most small businesses were running at bare minimum, using just what they needed to get the job done. It is in these times when the community starts to notice its gemssmall businesses of course. Customers do not have to travel as far to get their necessities, they do not have to deal with big business mark-ups and they see a friendly face every time they enter the store. Small businesses employ a little over half of the U.S. work force. Most local businesses hire people that they know and have some social responsibility to their community. Local businesses also account for 75 percent of all new jobs. Most local businesses are found in established business areas. This basically means that small business owners do not have to deal with as much infrastructure, which in turns leads to less maintenance for the community. Citizens have become more environmentally conscientious. They are traveling less and only making necessary trips. They are carpooling, spending less and eating in more. When they do have a little extra to spend, they want to spend in a place they trust. They want to know that the money they are spending is well spent and appreciated. Small businesses treat each customer as well as they treat themselves, they have to if they want to succeed in a time where people are slow to spend. Independent We Stand urges small business owners to take matters into their own hands. Take pride in the fact that your business is the reason why your community thrives. Go out into the community, get involved in the events, take time to get to know the in and outs of your surroundings. Hire local students, create internships and pass on your skills so that your business will remain relevant in your community. When you look at your plan, include marketing strategies that will make your community a necessity in your success. In turn, your business will continue to flourish, and the cycle will continue on.

    Working With Family Members: it's not Personal

    it's Just BusinessIf youve ever been in business with a family member, you know there are several advantages, but even the most dedicated, hard working family member can experience or create tension, stress and conflict in the workplace. Can you really separate your family history, emotions and knowledge you have of a person at a deeper level and also have a great working relationship? Families have successfully worked together, but there are reasons why its worked. What are the qualities that facilitate successful family working relationships? What are the common issues in practices that exist within companies that employ family? If you are in business with or thinking about working with family members, being aware of the following issues can prevent them from becoming problems in your business. loYaltY leading to miCromanagement Often, family members are more dedicated to the success of their business than other staff members. The old saying, family is thicker than blood is true, and yet too much caring can cause conflict. One business owner employed his mother. The owner had established his vision and goals, but he had trouble developing a consistent, fair style of leadership. He found the staff management was much harder than actually doing the work. His mother, in her eagerness to help him succeed, was openly voicing her concerns and opinions during business hours and outside the office. She felt the staff wasnt diligent enough in collecting money at the time of service and inconsistent in their processing methods. She felt they werent doing a good job and needed more attention to detail. The boss had difficulty enforcing his policies because of the conflicting views between his mother and the other team members. His mother became a micromanager, telling everyone how they should be doing their jobs, in detail. She meant well and only wanted to help the business succeed, but her micromanaging drove the morale of the business down.

    taking Work HomeOne business owner enjoys working with his wife. His wife, however, was concerned that the team members werent held accountable for their work. Because the owner is sensitive to conflict, he avoids team meetings, coaching and performance reviews. His wife is quite verbal during the off hours about her feelings, which causes him discomfort as hes sensitive to criticism and this creates tension in their personal relationship. Its important, especially for couples, to separate their work life and personal life. Bringing personal issues into the workplace and vice versa can create tension and an uncomfortable environment for all employees.

    Hiring someone You Can't fireBusiness owners can be hesitant to talk to a family member about a problem within the workplace because of how it might impact them on the personal/home front. They may walk on eggshells at work, worried about how the family member might respond if they were treated the same as other employees. To be successful as a team member, family members need to know their role in the business. Being a family member and an employee can put anyone in a difficult position. Other employees, no matter how hard the family member works, may look at them differently. Because of this, your family member employee will always need to hold him or herself at the same or even higher level of accountability than other employees.

    unfair PaYSome business owners try to help their family out by paying more than the average wage for that employment category, which can impact the total payroll overhead. It is unfair to neglect the rest of the teams income because you want to give special treatment to a family member. Youll see resentment and unhappiness build if this is the case. Remember, when morale goes down, productivity goes down. In addition to pay, gender or age differences that impact your relationship with your team may feel intensified with your family employees. Recognize that some conflict develops due to these differences and work at learning about better communication and leadership.

    WHat are tHe traits of a great familY team memBer?If you happen to be an employee in your family members business, there are several things you can do to avoid the above issues including:

    Be early1. Be dependable2. Pay attention to your work responsibilities; be accountable.3. Follow through4. Be friendly and have fun5. Be encouraging. Use the words Absolutely! and Certainly! 6.
