Salon International Magazine - September 2019

In this issue

In today’s fast-paced economy, one may question the role
of distributors. While some say they work as middlemen,
others prove that a distributor is important for the success of
a brand. The latter is true. Distributors are a bridge between
manufacturers and the professional consumer, connecting and
enhancing the other, and the voice of a brand. Suf􀃺 ce it to say
that without distributors, the bottom line of the players in the
business of beauty and wellness would be in doldrums. This
is the backdrop of this month's In Focus where we exlore the
triumphs and travails of being in this business in India.
In the Hair section, we feature Mary Alamine, Owner and
Creative Director of Royals Hair in Sydney. A force to reckon
with, she won Hairdresser of the Year 2016 at AHFA NSW/ACT,
was the Finalist at Hair Expo Men’s Hairdresser Of The Year
in 2016, and several others. She wears her success lightly
as we realised when she shared her professional journey.
We also present a mesmerising photo essay of two collections
by celebrated hair artists, Felicitas Ordás and José Salvador +
Eva González. Truly inspiring for contemporaries and
apsirants, alike.
On the home front, we showcase Mohammad Amjad, the
winner of TIGI Backstage Heroes Season 2. He re􀃻 ects on
his early days in the hairdressing industry, the platform and
his experience. On hair colour and care, brands including
L'Oréal Professionnel, MATRIX, Kérastase and Rene Furterer
have launched products that work like magic on hair! Salon
management, as vital as it is, comes with its own set of
challenges. Keeping the operations running smoothly is only the
tip of the iceberg. Hiring, training, staff retention, maintaining
standards, customer satisfaction, and so on, are some of the
biggest goals for any salon manager. Kanta Motwani, Nikhil
Sharma and Preeti Singh share their views
