Don’t Miss the Collective Pride Awards

Don’t forget entries to the Collective Pride Awards close on 15 November. Designed to recognise the unsung heroes in the professional hair, beauty and barbering arena, here’s a recap of the categories…

Four of the eight Collective Pride Awards are open to all UK hair salons, barbershops, beauty salons and nail studios. These four award categories require entries from either salon teams or individuals (inc. freelancers) or external third-party nominators.

1 Beyond Business Award
For a salon, barbershop, nail spa or beauty business at the hub of the community which goes beyond the line of duty.

2 More Than… Award (nominated by self, a client or a colleague)
Our industry is filled with professionals who give outstanding service, make people look great and feel even better. If you have forged an extra-special relationship with a client in their time of need – we need to know about it.

3 Against the Odds Award (nominated by a client or a colleague)
Do you know a star in the making, a youngster in the early stages of their job, determined to make a success of their career despite huge challenges? We want to hear about the special individual who, in the face of hardship or difficulties, has the resolve, the guts, to give 100 percent to their job in order to succeed.

4 My Saviour Award (nominated by a client or a colleague)
External third parties (client or colleague) will nominate this person, someone they see as their true saviour. An award for someone who gave way more than expected, with ongoing care, compassion and kindness at a time when it was most needed.

Enter via: www.collectiveprideawards.co.uk

5 Special Recognition Awards
There are also four Special Recognition Awards for exceptional individuals demonstrating outstanding support to the charity.

However, please note that these awards cannot be entered; recipients are identified by the Lions Barber Collective committee and board of trustees.

The Most Popular Hair Trends of 2021

From mullets to money pieces, we’ve had our fair share of throwbacks and new styles in the mix. But which client trends have been the experts’ favourite so far?

1 LIVED-IN BLONDES
“Many clients have fallen in love with the lockdown roots and are now moving away from scalp bleach – exaggerated roots with a soft baby light gives the client a natural, low maintenance colour while maintaining a fresh and blonde feel,” says hairdresser Heffy Wheeler, of Hx Hair, Rugeley.

2 THE CURLY SHAG
While the name may be questionable at first glance, this one has been a staple of 2021 and is still going strong as Brooke Evans, owner of BE Ironbridge, gives this style the crown. “the Curly Shag is my absolute favourite – with the use of natural colour going through to make the ultimate beach vibe,” says Brooke.

3 THE SHULLIT
“I’m loving the Shullit –a soft, shaggy almost grown out mullet, great for clients who want a shorter style with soft feminine texture,” explains Emma Simmons, owner of Salon 54.

James Atkinson Joins the JOICO European Colour Design Team

VTCT Tackles Lack of Diverse Representation in Stock Imagery with New Photoshoot

VTCT has created its own hair and beauty imagery after finding stock images lacking enough diversity to educate learners adequately. VTCT hair and beauty experts travelled to Francesco Group, Birmingham, to shoot photos that reflect the behaviours of a range of hair types from poker straight to wavy, coily hair.

VTCT quality lead and industry expert, Sonia Robinson, said: “while there are images of curly hair available, they do not adequately reflect all the complexities of it. We needed to capture how uniquely hair behaves and looks when wet, styled, dry, and everything in between."

This comes after VTCT announced that they are set to become the first awarding body to embed black hair and skin in their core curriculum. This is part of their roadmap to leading the industry in Equality, Diversity and Inclusion. The latest National Occupation Standards (NOS) were updated to include Afro and textured hair in June.
