Midlands’ beauty
event returns
Dear
Readers
Welcome to a brand new year! I hope you are
as excited at the prospect of the next twelve
months as we are here in the Guild News
editorial office.
A new year always bring with it the prospect
of exciting developments, growth and
prosperity, and hopefully you will have your
business or career plan in place to make these
projections a reality.
You may already have taken the opportunity
to think up some personal resolutions for the
New Year, but have you considered any
professional resolutions? What would you like
to achieve in 2008? Where do you see your
business going? Would you like a new
challenge or to progress up the career ladder?
This is an ideal time to reflect on your
achievements of the past 12 months and put
into place a plan to make your ambitions for
the future a certainty.
As always, Guild News is here to help and
inspire you to achieve great things. If you’re
considering training in a new treatment, this
month we look at slimming and body toning
techniques, luxury manicures and colon
hydrotherapy.
Beauty UK 2008 takes place once again at the NEC Birmingham this April, organised by
Guild Press and Professional Beauty. With four months to go, over 55 per cent of exhibition
stand space has already been booked. The new branding for this exciting event has also been
unveiled.
Your career and business really is in your
hands, and so make 2008 the year that you
achieve, or better, your goals. Good luck!
Best wishes,
Melissa Dennis
Editor
Guild News
You may have seen our new bi-monthly feature Salon Spy,
where we visit salons and Spas across the UK to discover what
makes a successful beauty business. Would you be interested in
having your salon profiled in a future issue of Guild News?
If you are a salon owner / manager and would like a member of
the Guild News editorial team to visit your salon, interview you
about your business, take photographs and review your
signature treatment, then contact editor Melissa Dennis at
melissa@BeautyServe.net to be considered, providing a brief
outline of why you feel you should be featured.
Some of the key names who have confirmed their attendance include Dermalogica, Collin
UK, SB Beauty Marketing, Fake Bake, Venus Concepts, Hive of Beauty, On Beauty,
Repêchage and Bio Sculpture Gel, to name but a few.
Says show director Gary Hackett: “Following on from the success of last year’s exhibition,
Beauty UK 2008 gives Midlands’ beauty buyers the event they deserve. It will showcase the
leading brands and exclusive show offers, supported by one of the most comprehensive

Large numbers of international

keen interest in the exhibitors’

The international trade fair for

saw 114 companies from 15
different countries present their new
products and innovations to a total
of around 30,000 trade visitors.
Oliver P. Kuhrt, Executive VicePresident of Koelnmesse, said:
“Particularly against the
background of the EU regulation
on the reduction of tanning dosage,
as well as the certification of sun
studios - the two central themes for
the sector - the event was able to
generate key impulses, and at the
same time, send out positive signals

Don’t put
yourself in the
line of fire
Recent research has revealed that almost
40 percent of small business owners are
inadvertently breaking the law - by failing
to comply with fire safety regulations.
The research, carried out by Norwich
Union Risk Services, found that business
owners were not aware of new fire safety
legislations which came into effect in
October 2006.
If businesses do not comply with the
Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order,
they run the risk of receiving hefty fines or
even imprisonment.
The new regulations include selfassessment of fire risks, appointing a
responsible person and protecting premises
with fire safety equipment. More

Not the best-selling novel by Ian
McEwan, but the Guild News guide
to helping clients redeem their figures
after the indulgent festive period . . .
Clients throughout the year will
have given a whole host of
reasons for wanting to lose a few
pounds or tone up their bodies weddings, parties, holidays, new
partners or divorces - but there’s
nothing that gets clients queuing
round the block quite like the
quest of fulfilling a New Year’s
resolution to get back into shape.
But where to start, and what are clients
looking for in a treatment?

GUILD NEWS
“The motivation to choose a treatment
varies from customer to customer,” says
Angela Barbagelata-Fabes, Chairman of
Carlton Professional. “Some are
influenced by word of mouth or personal
recommendations from a friend or
colleague, as this indicates proven
efficacy. For others the lure of celebrity
endorsement in consumer magazines
carries more sway than any proven
results.”
Some clients will look to treatments as
an alternative to visiting the gym, while
others will opt for treatments in
conjunction with a regular exercise
programme. Either way, you should
look for treatments that you can
reasonably market to your existing
clients, as well as potential new ones and ensure they are in keeping with the
ethos of your spa or salon. Installing a
big, shiny piece of exercise equipment
in a relaxing day spa will only take
away from the ambience!
To help you find a treatment that’s suitable
(as you’ll probably need most of your spare
time for your own resolutions), we’ve
compiled a selection of the finest slimming
and toning treatments to shape up your
clients - and your business too...
Here are a few tips you can offer your
clients to help them shape up their
goals for 2008...
●
Encourage clients to act on their
resolutions as early as possible to
avoid hesitation setting in - for
example, offer discounts on
slimming or toning treatments
booked throughout January,
providing a great motivational and
financial incentive.
●
Advise clients to book a course of
treatments if they need further
encouragement to stick to their
plans - if they’ve already forked out
the cash, they will be back!
●
Remember, “I want to lose weight”
is a wish, not a resolution. Instead,
advise clients to make a definite
goal, such as “I want to lose ten
pounds by Easter.” Much more
attainable and a better way of
seeing results.
●
Whether a client wants to drop a
dress size or tone up some
neglected areas, you should always
encourage a healthy diet and regular
exercise (if they are able) alongside
treatments. It’s old and frequently
used advice, but it will work
wonders to enhance the results you
can offer them, as well as their
general health.
●
Make sure clients have realistic
expectations - no treatment is going
to turn them into a Kate Moss or
David Beckham clone, but you can
help them to enhance what they
already have.
●
Finally, consider putting together a
New Year resolution package offering slimming and toning
treatments, body wraps or
lymphatic massage alongside
nutritional supplements to help
clients achieve a target weight or
waist circumference - and giving
them a free manicure or facial if
and when they reach their target. A
great motivational tool, and an even
better way of introducing the rest of
your treatment range to them.
slim pickings
For some, the New Year brings with it a
need for a brand new identity - a slimmer,
toner, happier one - and many clients will
have turned to the salon for a quick fix.
These clients want results, and fast - and
machine-based slimming treatments scream
the word with a capital R.
These treatments are also suitable for those
clients who are unable to exercise for
physical or medical reasons, but still want to
tone up. Many offer visible results after just
one session, but a course is usually
recommended for best and lasting results.
The CACI International Quantum
treatment re-educates and restores muscle
tone, sculpting the body by tightening the
skin and lifting and re-defining the body.
The treatment combines faradic current with
the advanced technology of the CACI
microcurrent, and employs four modes Slimtone, Contour, Lymphatic and Microlift
- which work to tone, lift, detoxify and
regenerate skin and muscle tissue. Better
still, the treatment guarantees centimetre loss
after only the first 20-minute session.
Alternatively, the Lipo Infralight, available
from House of Famuir, combines electrolipolysis and infralight for effective body reshaping and treatment of cellulite, and
features 24 individual treatment programmes
for the body.

The Sub-dermal Therapy System (STS) from Sorisa is an effective
solution for the treatment of localised fat and cellulite.
Selective locally applied chromo therapy
(Infralight) rays generate heat and
stimulate enzyme activity in the fatty
tissues, dispersing the fatty acids into the
bloodstream to be used for energy. The
electro-lipolysis simultaneously causes
muscle contraction and burns the fat
energy, resulting in ultra-rapid body
shaping and reduction of fatty tissues.
The Sub-dermal Therapy System (STS)
from Sorisa is an effective solution for
the treatment of localised fat and
cellulite, incorporating several treatment
methods which act at different levels.
Controlled vacuum therapy promotes
the movement and elimination of
localised fat, which in turn stimulates
blood circulation and improves skin
elasticity and quality; Ultrasound tones
the skin and improves tissue elasticity;
Ultrasound and galvanic current allows
the penetration of anti-cellulite and
lipolytic active ingredients which
together accelerate and enhance the
effects of the treatment; and modulated
medium frequency (MMF) currents and
phototherapy used simultaneously
improves microcirculation and the
drainage of retained fluids.
The pain-free treatment is totally noninvasive - and the vacuum massage
segment can induce a feeling of
relaxation and well-being for your
clients.
Body Galvanic from Carlton Professional offers a results-driven
cellulite reduction treatment.
In combination with a good diet and
regular exercise, Carlton
Professional’s Body Galvanic machine
can be effectively used to reduce
cellulite, breaking down stubborn, hard
fatty deposits and dispersing fluid
retained in the area, for a results-driven
cellulite reduction treatment.
Galvanic is a direct current which
flows through the skin - a circuit is
formed between the active electrode
and passive electrode (two pads placed
on the body) and using iontophoresis,
active ingredients from specific
products, such as ampoules or gels, can
then pass onto the skin on this galvanic
charge. Other benefits of the treatment
can include an increase in circulation
in the area, dispersing of toxins,
increased metabolism and improved
skin texture.
Alternatively, the Ultratone system can
offer clients a cost effective, painless
and pleasurable slimming and toning
experience. Using a new wave form of
technology combining bioptic impulses,
micro-signals and ultrasound, Ultratone
can offer a tailor-made solution that
shapes the body at a cellular level,
giving instant and long-lasting results.
Approved and endorsed by The
Dermatological Centre on Harley
Street, Eporex’s (available from Pasha
Connections) fat reduction treatment
utilises non-invasive technology
formulated to tackle problem fatty
areas - and has been proven to reduce
fat over the course of seven weekly
treatments.
Eporex’s patented delivery system,
known as Isopheresis, introduces
vitamins, minerals and amino-acids
onto and into the skin of a target area
with a non-invasive hand-held device.
The mesotherapy ingredients stimulate
the process that occurs naturally in the
body to regenerate tissue, detoxify,
increase the burning of fats and improve
circulation.
The Crystal Clear Cellulite and Body
Firming System offers all over body
firming and lifting, as well as a
solution to unsightly cellulite and poor
skin tone on the legs, hips, buttocks,
arms, stomach and chin. The System
offers five pre-selected programmes
and three varying size handsets to
choose from.
Combining a vacuum with unique
pulsed program, the Cellulite and Body
Firming System helps release the fat
from the tight connective tissue which
holds the fat cells and expels toxins and
water. The vacuum is created within the
cup which glides over the skin to create
varying degrees of suction, and the
intermittent pulsing action creates a
subdermal massage to the connective
tissue and fat globules by stretching the
fibrous bands.

Belle Santé’s Prowave Ice body treatments encourage
fat cells to change shape and shrink, tackling unsightly
cellulite.
ThermaClinic is a multi-frequency
radio-frequency system that can
achieve body contouring through fat
removal.
Starvac, from Depilex, can treat cellulite in its
various stages, with the added benefit of helping
with slimming and improving lymphatic flow.
Noblesse from Demilec utilises
interferential current to increase the rate of
oxygenated blood and collagen to the skin
surface, and aid in slimming. Frequencies
are pre-set so therapists can select the
programme number for the required
treatment, and there are several different
programmes available. Electronic pads are

muscles, shaping and firming the required

Taking only one third of the time of
traditional radio frequency treatments,
Regen’s, available from Pasha Connections,
pain free treatment method for body
contouring and cellulite reduction can help
to reduce the circumference of problem
areas such as the tummy, buttocks and
thighs by using three electrodes to deliver
focused RF energy.
The simple and straightforward process
begins with clean dry skin, followed by
lubrication of the treatment area with natural
massage oil. The applicator is then applied
with a small amount of pressure and a
rubbing or massaging technique. The
effective use of energy allows a focused
treatment that offers numerous benefits for
virtually any body area and skin type, and
does not require cooling of the device or the
skin.
Alternatively, Lipomassage from
Endermologie, available from CACI
International, is a non-invasive solution that
uses the dynamic rotations of Lipomassage’s
innovative IMR technology to give fat cells
a true workout and combat stubborn fatty
areas. Dramatic results of a slim, shapely
and cellulite-free body can be achieved
within a few weeks.
ThermaLipo and ThermaClinic are multifrequency radofrequency systems that can
achieve body contouring through fat
removal. Treatments can reduce cellulite and
body volume, inducing collagen contraction
which results in tightened, younger looking
skin. Treatments are safe, gentle and painfree with no downtime - systems are also
easy to operate and maintain with no
consumables or healthcare commission
registration to worry about.
The Toning Table from Slim Images can
help clients with inch loss, increased
circulation, improved posture and muscle
toning. The Table instigates movement
whilst the user lies back and enjoys the
physical benefits through passive exercise.
Simple to set up and with full on-site
training, the Toning Table is a great addition
to any health, beauty or tanning business.
Starvac, from Depilex, combines traditional
vacuum suction with the rollerhead method
of application, ensuring maximum effect
and client comfort. Starvac can treat cellulite
in its various stages, with the added benefit
of helping with slimming, improving
lymphatic flow, mobilisation of adipose
tissue and toning the skin tissue by
encouraging nutrition to the skin surface.
The Starvac unit comes complete with 13
accessories allowing treatment on most parts
of the body with few contraindications, and
pre-set programmes ensure the unit is
simple for therapists to select the most
appropriate treatments.
Also available from Depilex is the third
generation of the Physique unit - Physique
Ultima, which employs proven electrical
technology for excellent results on body
toning and firming.
Through Prowave Ice body treatments,
from Belle Santé, the shape of fat cells
are encouraged to change shape and
shrink, remodelling the corrective tissue
that forms unsightly cellulite. The Radio
Frequency travels to the subcutaneous
layers of the skin where fat cells are
stored, and this, in turn, causes part of the
fat cell to break away. The small amount
of broken away fat is removed safely
from the body through the natural use of
energy and the urinary system.
To enable the treatment to reach the deep
subcutaneous layers of tissue, the Radio
Frequency uses a higher frequency to
penetrate the depth required, and iced
probes ensure the client experiences very
little discomfort.
A great way to deal with those postChristmas calories is the Eminence
Blueberry Soy Slimming Body Wrap,
available from The Skinsmith. The
deliciously fruity treatment increases
circulation, improves elasticity and
infuses the skin with moisture. The
vegan-friendly wrap is brimming with
blueberries, particularly high in antioxidants and phyto-nutrients; Bilberry
Leaf Extract, which improves circulation;
as well as Bladderwrack to stimulate
blood circulation and increase cell
metabolism.

The Be Slim Faradic Massager from Therapy 2000 features 20 pads for
weight-loss, lymphatic drainage, cellulite reduction and holistic fitness.
The Gee Massager, from Therapy 2000,
offers a relaxing slimming option through
vibratory massage applied directly to the
body. The frequency of vibration can be
adjusted for client comfort and the unique
directional stroking action gives a wider
range of treatment options, including
percussion massage and lymphatic
drainage, through a variety of massage
heads.
Also available from Therapy 2000 is the
Be Slim Faradic Massager, which can
assist in weight loss, lymphatic drainage,
cellulite reduction and for holistic fitness.
work it out
For those with no aversion to exercise,
but who want results quicker than the
gym can offer, there is a new wave of
technology which combines exercise with
advanced toning techniques - and can
offer great results in just a few treatments.
Vacustep is a non-invasive treatment
that combines exercise and vacuum
suction to reduce the appearance of
cellulite and the ‘orange peel’ look
whilst revitalising skin tone. The
treatment requires clients to work out on
the Elliptical Stepper for just 30 minutes
four or five times a week, with the heart
rate monitored to ensure they stay within
the fat burning zone, and nutritional
drinks for ‘before’ and ‘after’ the
treatments for maximum results. Results
may be seen within the first two weeks
of training, and clients can lose between
five to 15 inches of stubborn fat in just a
single course.
Launched at the LIW show in September,
the Cocoon is a new concept in the
removal of fat and cellulite, which when
used over a period of approximately six
weeks, can remove inches, as well as
stubborn cellulite.
As the client walks into the Cocoon, a
vacuum on the lower half of the body
draws warm blood into difficult to reach
areas, such as the buttocks, hips, thighs
and stomach, thus kick-starting
metabolism into action and removing
fat. Fitted with the latest safety devices
and technology, and with a simple to use
swipe card system, the Cocoon
treatment can be used by all ages at all
levels of fitness.
Alternatively, the Power Plate®
machine uses Acceleration Training to
deliver the equivalent of a full body
workout in 15 minutes, encouraging
weight loss and helping to reduce the
appearance of cellulite, leaving clients
looking and feeling great. Acceleration
Training is low impact and gentle,
enabling anyone, regardless of age or
fitness levels to benefit, without putting
strain on joints or other parts of the
body.
Varying poses are held on the Power
Plate®’s vibrating platform, such as a
squat, bicep curl or stomach crunch,
enabling clients to target particular
areas of the body. Each pose is held
for up to 60 seconds at a time,
activating multiple muscle groups
simultaneously to stretch, tone and
strengthen.
Hypoxitherapy, form Hypoxi, is a fat
loss system which combines gentle
exercise and vacuum therapy to target fat
loss from problematic areas such as the
stomach, hips, bum and thighs. The
vacuum effect helps draw fresh blood
into the stubborn fatty tissues and
encourages fatty acids to be transported
to the muscles and burnt for energy. At
the same time, the introduction of fresh
blood into these areas stimulates the
lymphatic system and carries away
cellulite-causing toxins. A typical course
of Vacunaut and Hypoxi lasts four weeks
and consists of three sessions per week.
slimming can be
so draining . . .
Some slimming treatments work around
lymphatic drainage, a delicate form of
massage that stimulates the body’s
lymphatic system, improving metabolism
and eliminating the body’s waste and
toxins.
“Lymphatic Drainage is said to help
general health in a variety of ways,” says
Donna Tait, National Training Manager
for Collin. “It was always said that if you
had perfect circulation and a perfect
lymphatic system, you would never be ill,
never be fat and never have spots.”
Collin’s Algo Slimming Treatments
incorporate lymphatic drainage techniques
and colonic massage, and have been
specifically designed to eliminate waste
and aid and improve general health. The

It might be that your clients are looking for a
more relaxing way to tone up (and let’s face
it, who isn’t?), or perhaps a pampering
treatment to reward themselves for pounds
already lost. Body wraps, toning massages
and fat-dispersing products can help clients
in their aim to remove lumps and bumps - as
well as the stresses and strains of slimming.

The Collin Algo-Slimming Treatments also
include an Anti-Cellulite Programme to
work on fat cells and firm the silhouette,
and Contouring Programme to ‘break
down’ the fat cells for a more contoured
figure. Therapists can choose the corrective
figure treatments to suit every client by
following Collin’s step-by-step techniques,
and tailor make each course of treatments
for maximum results.
The Slimming Lymph Drain Massage from
Heaven is a hands-on treatment described
as a “manual form of lipo-suction”, as
clients can lose up to four lbs in just one
treatment! The Massage has been specially
designed to help clients lose weight, as well
as fluid, and receive total relaxation in the
process.
The vigorous yet relaxing massage
circulates toxin-containing lymphatic fluid
and flushes it out of the body, leaving it
healthier and acting as an internal body
cleanser. The massage also breaks down the
fatty deposits to help eradicate cellulite. The
treatment ends with the therapist advising
the client on maintaining a healthy lifestyle,
so the body remains toxin free.
Vibro Tone’s technology is clinically
proven to increase lymphatic drainage and
reduce fluid retention, helping clients to feel
slimmer as the water loss helps clothing to
feel looser. The massage effect of the

treatment improves the skin elasticity and
general tone and is an effective tool to
improve body shape when used as part of
any slimming programme.
Additional benefits include the reduction of
abdominal bloating, the relief of hot swollen
legs and effective treatment of cellulite and the massage action promotes a feeling
of relaxation for the client, making any
additional therapy, such as a body wrap,
more effective.
Thalac’s Method Minceur is a body
treatment that aims to eliminate lymphatic
fluid over the entire body, reducing cellulite
and achieving inch loss. The body wrap
treatment creates a vaso-construction,
followed by a balancing vaso-dilation,
stimulating blood circulation, draining

encourage the breakdown of fatty deposits.
The products are formulated with marine

absorbed into the skin.

effective draining and decongesting action.
Moreover, it also relieves the ache of sore
muscles and swollen joints in addition to

The stimulating Revitalising Firming Mud

marine sediments, hops and mint essential oil
to stimulate the circulatory system,
remineralising and firming the skin.
Finally, the Detoxifying Mud Therapy is a
balancing and detoxifying treatment that
accelerates the body’s metabolism for an
effective slimming action. The unique blend

oils has a reactivating effect on the blood
circulation, stimulating and eliminating

The treatment also introduces Thermal
Gymnastics, providing a natural and
effective way to flush toxins out of the body
by alternating a difference in temperature
between hot and cold. The technique
increases the lymphatic and venous
circulation, resulting in the effective
reduction of cellulite.

As I was walking through our Spa last week, a heading on the
cover of a magazine caught my eye; “The best non-invasive age
defying service available”. As I thumbed through the magazine, I
became distracted with a comprehensive article about a new
oxygen infusion service, and then yet another about the newest
type of light activated facial rejuvenation and it was only then
that I realised that I was not reading an industry publication but
rather a glossy consumer magazine.
endless sources
This was one of a seemingly endless
array of like kind publications and
websites that exist to exclusively
discuss and focus, in detailed depth,
upon the latest stay young recipes and
techniques available to today’s savvy,
educated, health conscious consumers.
Most consumer publications and
television shows today devote
approximately half of their
programming toward health, fitness,
wellness, skin care and anti-ageing.
They seek out the best of the best
professionals as guests to interview and
guide consumers, and as a result, have
significantly closed the gap between the
lay person and the professional.

So what is the latest greatest hottest

There is yet to be anything that can

If you have just found an interesting

manufacturer and ask them to
explain this to you in more detail.
Better yet, ask them if there is an
education class you can attend that
can bring you up speed on all of the
latest microcurrent trends.
Is it worth paying money for such a
class? This is your career, and you
must invest in it. With a bit of
preplanning, a business trip expense
can lend to a nice personal or family
adventure. And let’s face it, it is
much more credible and interesting
to proactively share information that
you have learnt at a microcurrent

simply comment on an article that
was published in Vogue.

Having the opportunity to share the knowledge and experience of a
room full of peers that are gathered for a mutual interest, in itself, is
usually worth the travel. Well-promoted seminars will attract attendees
from all parts of the country and sometimes the world. Having this
contrast in geographical origins also seems to allow even the most
secretive professionals the safety to let their guard down in effort of
exchanging valuable information that could be useful for their business.
Networking with like kind minds often blossoms in to long term
friendships and collaborations that can provide a sounding board and a
professional to professional opinion that can last a lifetime.

When we think of reconnaissance, usually the first thing that pops into

Recon in our line of work could not be more opposite than this, as it
entails being serviced! And yes, this is part of the cost of doing
business so save your receipts for the tax write off.
Each time that you take the opportunity to leave your business
environment for an educational seminar, book a treatment at a nearby
Spa or salon, preferably one that has similar structure or is perceived
as more elaborate than your own.
Remember that with any experience, there is something to be learned.
Take a menu from the establishment and observe everything. Rate the
service: How knowledgeable is the support team? How clean is the
facility? How do they merchandise? What questions do they ask on
their consultation form? How was the treatment itself? How were the
products? How were the results? Did they prescribe home care
products? To ensure that you understand your objective and remain
somewhat on task, it is good idea to have a punch list of observations
that you would like to make and to take and extra 15-20 minutes in
their reception after the service to summarise your findings while it is
fresh in your mind.

new ingredients in skincare
out
with the old?
by claire matthewman
As the Internet has become more
accessible for everyone, the 21st
Century has seen the growth of the
knowledge-hungry consumer - a
consequence of which means your
clients are now no longer just
interested in the end result, but
want to know what ingredients the
products contain and what effects
they have on the skin.
This has lead to a dichotomy in the market
trends for skincare products, with some
clients leaning towards scientifically
advanced skincare products whilst others are
looking for a more organic future.
“As you browse extensive ingredient listings
you would be forgiven at looking at them
and not knowing where to start in choosing
the product that best suits your client’s
skin,” says Victoria Trueman-Eustace,
[comfort zone]’s National Training
Manager.
In such a fast moving industry as the beauty
business, everything can change in a heartbeat.
From the latest salon treatments to the latest
skincare trends, everyone is looking for a slice of
the action and is willing to put their own
interpretation on it.
42
GUILD NEWS
So what are the latest buzzwords in the
beauty industry and should we really be
ditching the old ingredients in favour of the
next big thing?
the appliance of science
“Truth be told, products are still centring on
some key ingredient groups that have
reliable results. Not to say, however, that the
odd new hot ingredient isn’t igniting fresh
interest and fanning the flames of a super
hot category of product,” say the
International Dermal Institute’s
Education Managers, Candice Gardner and
Kelly Quinn.
“Probably the most exciting area of study is
that of ingredients that have the ability to
restructure the dermal matrix,” they add.
“Peptides are still causing a stir. From
palmitoyl pentapeptide to newer
tetrapeptides and oligopeptides, these
revolutionary ingredients mimic the skin’s
natural tissue regenerating process.
“In effect, peptides signal the dermis to
produce proteins, like collagen and
hyaluronic acid, to literally plump the skin
leading to an increase in skin thickness and
a decrease in the appearance of wrinkles.”
Ellisons’ Caroline Maggs agrees: “There
has been lots of interest in peptides and this
innovation in skincare will continue to be a
popular ingredient for 2008, along with
micro algae extracts for people increasingly
looking to more natural methods of
skincare.”
The new Skin Tight range, available from
Ellisons, harnesses both of these ingredients.
Acetyl Hexapeptide - 8 is an age-reversing
peptide that reduces the degree of existing
facial wrinkles by inhibiting muscle
contractions that form deep expression lines.
Facial muscles are held in a relaxed state,
yet conscious facial muscle contractions still
occur, and according to Ellisons, “the
International Journal of Cosmetic Science
stated that Acetyl Hexapeptide - 8 is a safe
alternative to Botox injections for inhibiting
facial muscle activity.”
Alternatively, Skinforlife’s Advanced Eye
Treatment is a corrective and restorative eye
treatment designed with an advanced
combination of tetrapeptides, hexapeptides
and oligopeptides with ceramides to
increase collagen stimulation.
An additional blend of ingredients acts on
the clearance and reformation of pigment
present in dark circles. The formulation is
delivered via the skinforlife patented LSS™
nano-technology to deposit the active
ingredients deep into the skin matrix.
Key ingredients include Palmitoyl
Oligopeptides to protect collagen from UVA
effects and contribute to thickening of
epidermis via collagen stimulation;
Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, for its firming,
smoothing and regenerating properties;
Ceramide-2, a naturally occurring skin lipid
that strengthen skin’s barrier function
measured as trans-epidermal water loss;
Acetyl hexapeptide-1, which reduces
wrinkle depth especially eye/forehead area
and n-hydroxysuccinimide combined with
Chyrsin, to help clear bilirubin and prevent
the reformation of dark circles.
“With the continuous growth in the antiageing arena, a logical step for skincare
innovators to take is to research and create
ingredients which repair and protect our
DNA,” says Sam Dhatt, award-winning
cosmeceutical chemist, who serves as the
CEO and president of DermaQuest Skin
Therapy.
“Telomeres, which are a part of our DNA,
are responsible for the time span our cells
live. They are found at the end of
chromosomes in our DNA and shorten with
each cycle of cell differentiation. Every time
a cell divides, the length of telomeres
shorten until it reaches such a limited length
that the cell no longer divides; this phase is
referred to as senescence.
“Besides normal cell division affecting the
length of telomeres, oxidative stress due to
UV and environmental elements or even
our body’s own mitochondrial dysfunctions

(due to age and stress) can lead to DNA
breaks and therefore, a shortening of
telomere length,” adds Sam.
With this knowledge, finding a way to
stabilise telomeres and maintain healthy
DNA would equate to increased phases of
cell division and a healthy maintenance of
our vital skin cells.
Advanced AHA Cosmeceuticals
Multi-layer Skin Renewal and
Essential Moisturization
“A new ingredient that is of particular
interest to formulators is Renovage™,”
explains Sam. “This active ingredient
stabilises DNA and its telomeres as well as
increases the efficiency of our body’s own
DNA repair processes, which becomes
dysfunctional as we age.
Natureceuticals
“The skin looks visibly younger from using
Renovage™, with an improved barrier
function, improved skin tone, smaller pore
size, reduction of UV damage and less
redness or erythrosis of the skin.
Renovage™ is a ‘repair and protect’
ingredient which addresses the many
physiological aspects of ageing, making
this sound ingredient stand out in today’s
anti-ageing skincare market.”
Anti-aging Skin Therapy using
Nature’s most potent ingredients
Agera® have also been looking into the
loss of telomeres, and according to them
anti-ageing research over the last ten years
has confirmed two critical ageing
mechanisms:
PRIORI is the premiere International source of the world’s most advanced professional
skincare products that deliver pharmaceutically endorsed science.
PRIORI skincare incorporates the latest anti-aging technology from the pioneers who
introduced AHA with Glycolic Acid and Idebenone to Cosmeceutical skincare.
1. The gradual reduction in levels of
circulating growth factors - human
growth hormone (HGH) and insulin
like growth hormone (IGF)
For further information call
0845 555 2121
www.cosmeceuticals.co.uk
2. The ability of chromosomes to keep
dividing due to the loss of telomere
activity.
The combined result is a progressive loss
of daily repair capabilities including
antioxidant protection, DNA repair enzyme
production, structural protein production
and the reduction of the immune response.
Sesha Skin Therapy uses PET™ to achieve remarkable results in anti-ageing
skincare.
To counteract these problems, Agera® have
produced a new generation of daily repair
peptide agents as topicals that can enhance
normal daily repair in mature skin and
enhance the results of treatment regimes.
Within the range, products are formulated
for specific skincare needs such as Antiageing, Hyperpigmentation or Acne and the
ingredients are delivered deep into the skin
using Bioemulsion technology. These tiny
particles enable rapid and deep penetration
of the active ingredients, helping to achieve
maximum results with minimum irritation.
Another company who is focusing on the
transdermal delivery of ingredients is Sesha
Skin Therapy. Sesha uses PET™
(Permeation Enhancement Technology) to
achieve remarkable results in anti-ageing
skincare.
From the idea that our skin’s ageing process
can be significantly slowed if active,
pharmaceutical-grade ingredients are
allowed to gently penetrate and most
importantly over time, nourish our
regenerative living skin cell, Sesha has
created a range of topical applications which
deal with four major skincare issues - antiageing, acne, hyperpigmentation and sun
damage.
The versatility of PET™ allows synergistic
nutrients to combine as a networking system
to provide customers with the full benefit of
each individually selected ingredient. The
result is a visible difference to the texture
and quality of the skin.
Sesha’s PET™ works by increasing the
solubility of the active ingredient and the
permeability of the skin. Therefore, when
larger-molecule ingredients are combined
with PET™, they can be transported safely
and effectively through the skin cell barrier
to reach the deeper levels of the epidermis
in a controlled way.
Scientific studies with Sesha have proved
increased retention of Vitamin A in the
dermis by 260 percent this increased to 350
percent for Vitamin E. Epidermal thickness
increased by up to 50 percent over the
duration of the trial, resulting in visible
younger-looking, healthier skin.
Going back to key ingredients for 2008,
Dimethylaminoethanol, or DMAE for
short, also seems to be a big contender.
This naturally occurring substance
facilitates the synthesis of
phosphatidylcholine, an important
component of cell membranes.
In a number of studies, DMAE has been
shown to reduce age-related cellular
deterioration, and according to reports
DMAE in skin care products shows
remarkable effects when applied topically to
skin, resulting in the reduction of fine lines
and wrinkles.
The i Cosmeceutici range from House of
Famuir lists DMAE as its main ingredient.
Within the range, Cosmeceutical Face Day
Lifting Cream offers full spectrum
effectiveness in a cosmecutical formulation
designed for day use with ‘Botox’ like
results.
Results include increased fullness of skin
and myofibrillar relaxation from the action
of DMAE; anti-ageing/antioxidant action
from the combination of a lipo-soluble
vitamin C derivative and Alpha-lipoic acid,
which fights free radicals, and anti-wrinkle
protective and preventive actions against
ultraviolet rays.
Using advanced cosmetic technology,
such a nanospheres and cyclodextrins to
deliver the active principles into the skin,
Light Life Age Repair from RVB, at
Depilex, also lists DMAE as one of its
main ingredients.

Environ’s new Evenescence range . . . contains both niacinamide
and another new active ingredient, SepiWhite-MSH™, for
addressing hyperpigmentation problems.
Here it is used to stabilise the membrane
and increase its resistance to stress,
protecting it from free radicals and
improving tone and smoothness. It also
helps to maintain collagen and elastin and
prevents cutaneous thinning. Isoflavones
reactivate the vital functions of the skin
through long-term hydration and
regeneration of tissue for a firmer skin tone.
While vitamins A and C have long been
recognized as effective skincare ingredients,
another vitamin, niacinamide (a form of
B3) is now also showing promise as skin
rejuvenating ingredient.
Studies have already demonstrated its
ability to increase production of ceramides,
thereby improving hydration. In one major
pharmaceutical company’s study
researchers also found significant
improvement in hyperpigmentation spots,
as well as in lines, texture and red
blotchiness from using niacinamide
topically.
A powerful skin lightener, niacinamide
assists in the control of uneven skin tone
and blemishes, increases hydration and
promotes skin growth and cell renewal,
resulting in the softening of fine lines.
Environ has been quick to harness both
niacinamide and another new active
ingredient, SepiWhite-MSH™, in its new
Evenescence range for addressing
hyperpigmentation problems.
SepiWhite-MSH™ (undecylenoyl
phenylalanine) controls the formation and
dispersion of melanin, which is responsible

for the formation of dark blemish marks.
“The ingredient aids in partially blocking
certain over-active processes and
stimulating certain under-active processes at
different levels of the pigment cycle,” says
Dr Ernst Eiselen, Environ’s medical
advisor.
When used in conjunction with Environ’s
vitamin gels and creams, Evenescence
helps to minimise the appearance of
brown/dark spots and helps reduce any
uneven skin tone and reveal a brighter
complexion with improved clarity.
Another buzzword for 2008 is a complex
called EUK-134 (methoxysalen manganese
chloride). Type this into any web-searching
programme and you will find numerous
scientific reports on its efficacy at
increasing cell survival. It protects the cells
against damage by UVB radiation and
repairs any damage that may be present in
the skin.
It is also one of a product group with
Superoxide Dismutase activity which are
products that de-activate free radicals - a
consequence of which means it can actually
slow down the signs of ageing. Current
products that contain EUK-134 include the
Innovative Serum by Sterex.
Elaine Stoddart, Director of Training and
PR for The Sterex Group, says: “The results
of Innovative Serum are spectacular. EUK
134 is very exciting and we use it here to
perform a double function - as an antioxidant and to combat the visible
symptoms of ageing. A visible difference
can be seen in as little as two days. The
skin feels smoother, softer fresher and
glowing, and the feedback we are receiving
from our therapists is extremely positive.”
For an immediate wrinkle-filling effect, the
experts at Collin recommend using
products that contain Hyaluronic Acid
Microspheres. The premise of these
Microspheres is that they are designed to
swell up on contact with water, which is
naturally contained in the skin, thereby
filling the wrinkles and smoothing the skin.
For long-term anti-ageing solutions, Collin
also suggests looking for a Deliner®
complex. This ingredient adds density to
the skin by stimulating the synthesis of
fibronectin and increasing the cellular
migration to areas weakened by age, i.e. the
eyes. It also increases the cellular
multiplication in the same areas.
Both of these ingredients can be found in
Collin’s Morpho-Skin Smoothing Filling
Concentrate, which includes Matrixyl to
help repair the dermal matrix by enhancing
the production of collagen, fibronectin and
GAG proteins, which have the ability to fill
space, bind and organise water particles.
Another skincare brand that is focusing on
the importance of increasing water content
in the skin is Pier Augé.
Researchers from a team of biologists in
Baltimore, USA revealed that a protein
that sits in the membrane of the cells
actually forms a channel allowing water
to rapidly flow in and out of the cells.
This protein was named Aquaporin and
Peter Agre was awarded the 2003 Nobel
Prize in Chemistry for this discovery.
208
circle enquiry card
Nearly 200 aquaporins have been
discovered in the animal and vegetable
kingdoms. In humans, 10 aquaporins have
been indexed. They are named AQP
followed with the number corresponding to
the order of discovery.
AQP3 - Aquaporin-3 has been found in
several tissues: stomach, intestine, kidney,
trachea, brain, eye and the epidermis. By
helping diffusion of water through the
membranes, by maintaining water balance
in the skin, AQP3 is essential for the general
skin metabolism.
Aquaporins contained in Pier Augé’s Soin
Hydratant Fundamental provide the skin
with a true re-education. The skin will relearn to produce aquaporins while
aquaporins will reinforce existent
aquaporins and water channels.
The aquaporins are associated with a triplehydration complex to restore water balance,
enable custom moisture and play an
essential part in the skin tone, whilst
proteins, vitamins and softening vegetable
oils protect and nourish the skin and allow it
to fight against all causes of ageing.
One of the many buzzwords being bandied
around last year was an ingredient called
Co-enzyme Q-10, also known as
Ubiquinone.
There is a natural
way to skin perfection

Carole Franck
According to the IDI’s Candice Gardner
and Kelly Quinn: “This ingredient works
similarly to Vitamin E and has a
neutralising effect on free radicals to
prevent the cell damage. In cultured human
cells, ubiquinone has been shown to
decrease UV induced oxidative stress and
also to decrease the activity of enzymes that
degrade collagen.”
With these properties in mind, md
formulations have developed Critical Care
Skin Repair Complex with new ProVitamer
Technology to defend against free radical
attack and reduce the appearance of brown
spots, lines and wrinkles.
a natural alternative
Recent programmes like Channel 4’s ‘How
Toxic are You?’ have helped to increase
awareness about a number of different
ingredients that are found frequently within
many skincare ranges, claiming that certain
concentrations of chemicals, such as
parabens, may have a detrimental effect on
health with long-term use.
Combine this with burgeoning fears over
global warming and other environmental
issues, it is perhaps unsurprising that 2007
also saw the swing of consumer trends
towards the ‘Natural’ and ‘Organic’ skincare
markets - something which looks set to
continue in 2008.
Pier Augé’s Soin Hydrant Fundamental . . . contains the protein aquaporin which provide
the skin with a true re-education.
While many of these skincare brands such as
Kimia, Oshadhi, Erb, and Natural
Organic Experience have remained faithful
to tried and tested ingredients such as Neroli
and Grape seed oils, which have proven
beneficial properties, others are looking at
ways to introduce new ingredients into their
skincare collections.
Purebliss’ new preservative is extracted
from the pith of oranges. The extract
contains a mixture of natural ingredients
that, when combined, produce an extremely
powerful anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, antiyeast and anti-mould agent and most
importantly a 11⁄2 - 2 year shelf life making it
a viable range for the professional market.
Naturally Creative Ltd are tuning into the
healing properties of Blue Mountain Sage
for 2008 by creating a range of therapeutic
blends for use by therapists and formulators.
Forthcoming projects include a range of
products featuring Blue Mountain Sage for
spas, including balms, body lotions, creams

The effects of bisabolol have been well
documented. In January 2005, the
Journal of Essential Oil Research
(JEOR) published a research paper on
the antimicrobial activity of essential oils
in which bisabolol was noted for its
effectiveness again five microbes
including staphylococcus aureus, also
known as MRSA.
“Within the skincare industry there are

great restorative and nourishing action
that results in an extremely hydrated

Another company who has been
incorporating the use of Argan oil into
their products is Algotherm. The new
Algonative range is an anti-ageing line
based around marine extracts. Active
ingredients include Alga Chlorella
Vulgaris for firming, extracts of giant
kelp, Argan oil and marine collagen.
Aimed at clients over the age of 40 years
the Algotherm Algonative facial
stimulates collagen synthesis, protects
against the harmful effects of free
radicals, and compensates for hormonal
deficits such as dehydration and uneven
pigmentation, thanks to the use of
marine isoflavones.
Finally, the emergence of an ingredient
called Coffeeberry will also be apparent
in 2008, with Cosmeceuticals looking to
launch a new Priori Natureceuticals
range, which features this powerful antioxidant.

Complaints! Why does the
very word send shivers down
spines? Why do some react
with fear and trepidation when
a client says she has a
complaint?
How do you react as a consumer? Do
you complain or do you vote with
your feet because you don’t want to
make a fuss? If you vote with your
feet you don’t give the service
provider a chance to put things right,
they may not even be aware that they,
or their team, are doing anything
wrong so therefore can’t improve
their service. If you were that service
provider you would want to know
what was wrong, or perceived as
wrong, wouldn’t you?
How many complaints do you get
from your clients? How many don’t
complain to you and vote with their
feet, or even worse tell others? In
other words, how many opportunities
to improve do you miss? Because
that is what complaints are, they are
opportunities to improve and as I’ve
said many times before, the only
people who can tell us how we can be
better are our clients.
complaints are a positive
Why do some feel threatened when the
word complaint is mentioned? Why do
some members of the team presume it is
the boss’s job to deal with complaints?
We know if a complaint is dealt with
appropriately there and then the
“damage” is much reduced and again as
consumers we know that if a service
provider puts something right, which
was wrong, and promptly, we actually
feel better about them than we did
before.
Therapists often make assumptions that
all complainants are going to be ranting
and raving, red faced and unreasonable,
when in fact that is far from the truth. If
customers are dealt with appropriately,
the act of complaining and dealing with
that complaint can and should be a
positive, win / win situation for both
parties. The customer is satisfied and the
business learns how to be better.
As I said earlier, complaints are
opportunities to improve so ensure
systems are in place to record them. A
complaints book is a simple system to
adopt but, as with all systems, they need
to be in place, be used, analysed regularly
and acted upon; putting complaints in a
book is only the start of the process.
issues that need to be
covered in a complaint
book are:
1. Date
2. Complainant
3. Who took the complaint?
4. The nature of the complaint
5. Was it resolved there and then, if
so how and by whom?
6. How does the customer feel about
the salon now, i.e. will she
continue to be a customer? If not,
why not?
7. If not resolved there and then
what is the plan to deal with it,
over what time scale and who is
to be in charge of it?
8. When resolved, go back to
point 6.
Apart from insurance requirements,
one should keep a complaints book
as it enables you to spot any
emerging trends. These can be to do
with treatment issues, personnel or
particular clients.

MAKE 2008 THE YEAR YOU
EXPAND YOUR BUSINESS
Insurance companies offer their own guidelines in serious
incidents (see below) but the vast majority of complaints are
from people who feel that part of their service was not what they
expected, and they don’t want anything other than to prevent it
happening again. In other words, they are giving you the
opportunity to put it right for next time. Ignore their concerns,
however small, and you will lose their custom, no one likes to be
ignored.

Listen, react appropriately and positively and you will turn
complainants into an even more valuable client. Most
‘complaints’ are easily solved. You and your team must take
ownership of their concerns and do something about it, for we all
know for every person who complains, about 10 don’t.
Complaints flag up things that need to be changed or at the very
least investigated.
Offer Salon Owners the
opportunity to run a Botox
and Dermal Clinic within
their own salon.
so what are the rules for dealing with
complaints?
1. Listen without interruption.
2. Ascertain the facts.
3. Affirm the facts back to the customer.

4. Agree a solution.
5. Adhere to the solution.
6. Follow up - make a phone call to check she / he is OK or
make a point of seeing them the next time they come in to
ensure satisfaction with the solution.
7. Implement escalation procedure if necessary. If the solution to
the complaint, or the complaint itself, is beyond your level of
responsibility seek assistance from a more senior member of
the team.
8. Thank clients for complaining!
I liken complaints that are ignored, or not dealt with effectively,
to smoke that lingers in a room, the cigarette may be long gone
but the effects continue. Dealing effectively with complaints is
the best air freshener! Resolve, as of now, to see complaints for
what they truly are; opportunities.

what do salon
and spa owners
who have been
on the Santi
Leadership
Programme say ?
leader
Susie Santiago
of the pack
Susie developed the Santi Leadership Programme to fill a hole in the market.
Susie Santiago is an
inspiring speaker, business
coach and mentor who has
helped hundreds of salon
owners and managers to
transform their businesses.
Guild News talks to her
about the origins of her
hugely successful Santi
Leadership Programme.
Guild News: Susie, where and how did
this passion for mentoring business
owners begin?
Susie Santiago: In 1993 I was appointed
General Manager of Harrods’ Hair and
Beauty Salon. Previous to that I had been
Area Manager for Pizza Hut, so it was a
brave move for the business, but they saw
that I had the management skills needed to
take forward one of the largest salons in
Europe.
Plus I had previous experience in PR and
marketing consultancy, as well as 10 years
in the restaurant sector, so I had a broad
range of skills to bring to the job - such as
strong leadership skills and an
understanding of how to lead a talented
team.
Whether you are promoting pizza or facials,
the management strategies are similar.

GUILD NEWS
“The Santi Programme is a unique
blend of networking and education
that helps business owners focus on
how to build and grow a successful
beauty business, while providing
them with secure and safe
mentoring.”
- Annie Brooking
Astron Clinica & Beau Visage
SS: They didn’t have the time to go back to
college as they needed to work in their
businesses for most of the week. In any
case, there were no credible college courses
that offered proven management and
leadership strategies.
I created the Santi Leadership Programme
to fill this gaping hole in the market.
“Susie and the Leadership
Programme have been invaluable to
my transition from therapist to a
successful business owner.”
- Eve Toole, Owner
Chessgrove Day Spa Ltd
Worcestershire
GN: What is involved in the Santi
Leadership Programme?
SS: It’s a one year business development
programme designed specifically for
owners and managers within the health,
beauty, clinic and spa sectors.
It consists of six fast track one-day business
building seminars spread over the course of
a year.
The course consists of six fast track one-day business building seminars.
After Harrods I worked in the recruitment
industry for a couple of years, hiring
managers for salons and Spas on behalf of
my clients.
Seminar subjects include all aspects of
strategic business management from
finances, to recruitment, motivational
management, sales promotions, retail,
marketing, training and leadership.
The Santi programme is carefully structured
so that there is a gap of approximately eight
weeks between each seminar. Membership
also includes six comprehensive reference
manuals and ‘How to’ work books
GN: What insights did all this experience
give you?
SS: I realised that there was a huge gap in
business education for Spa and salon
business owners and managers. So, I
started my own company which was
originally focused on helping entrepreneur
business owners to open new salons and
Spas.
It is a closed seminar programme. This
means that all attendees commit to every
session in the year. It’s not open to people
‘cherry picking’ which seminar they come
to and thus upsetting the balance of the
group. This means that everyone present is
totally committed to developing themselves
and their business.
My members then have the chance to
gradually apply their new knowledge and
skills in their businesses, to try things out
and to ask me questions as they are doing
so. To do this they utilise the unlimited
email access service to me that is provided
with their annual subscription.
I then turned my attention to independent
owners and managers with established salon
and Spa businesses who needed advice on
how to get to the next level of success.
Susie hosts the annual Women in
Business Conference.
GN: So where could they get this
knowledge?
At that time, and indeed now, there was a
lot of technical training support available
for therapists but very little business
development coaching for owners and
managers, even though it was desperately
needed.
The atmosphere is like a private club where
everyone is happy to share knowledge and
experience in a safe and protected
environment.
GN: How does it work exactly?
SS: Often people go to a seminar and obtain
a lot of information but when they get back
to their business they don’t have access to
ongoing advice about how to put the
information into practice in reality.
“Susie’s ability to understand you
and your business better than you
know it yourself in a matter of
minutes is remarkable and an asset
that everone in the beauty industry
should utilise.”
- Laura Bateman, Owner
Skin & Tonic Beauty Salon
Hertfordshire
This is what makes the Santi coaching and
mentoring support from me through the
year so uniquely powerful.
GN: When is it held and whereabouts?
SS: Approximately every eight weeks,
starting in January and ending in December.
Seminars are held just outside London on
the M25 at Egham, and in Manchester for
those based further north. We also hold
seminars in Dublin for our Irish clients.
GN: How much does it cost?
SS: £295 plus VAT per month by standing
order, which amounts to £3,540 plus VAT
for the full year.
“I already know that the Santi
Programme is the best thing I have
ever done for myself and my
business.”
-Martha Brophy, Owner
The Spa Co UK
Staffordshire
My Santi members tell me that investing in
themselves with Santi is so beneficial to
them and their businesses. After all, they are
the backbone of the business and benefit
from the commercial management skills
learnt to take the business to the next level
of success.
After the programme they continue to set
aside development investment for
themselves and their management team
annually, as a matter of priority every year.
GN: What do they really get in return for
all this commitment?
SS: They get the chance to take time out of
their business and use it to bring their
expertise, confidence and profits up to a
higher level than they ever thought was
possible.

The natural way to a healthy body

Make-up artist Emma Doherty suggests
using New Year as an excuse to detox
your cosmetics
Emma Doherty
With allergies on the increase and the lack of treatment options
hitting the headlines, maybe it’s time to really think about what
we’re becoming sensitive to.
Cleaning products, food, washing powders
have all been labelled the potential culprits,
but when was the last time your clients took
a serious look at their make-up bags?
in the beginning
Tell your clients to pull everything out, find
the bits from all of their handbags, drawers
and desks at work and lay it out in front of
them. Next, tell them to take a long, hard
look at the actual bag, and ask themselves:
How old it is? Does it still zip up or close
properly? If they washed it would it
disintegrate or come up as good as new?
Chances are it’s probably seen better days,
so first of all they need to get themselves a
new container - why not stock a selection?
out of date
Now, your are unlikely to eat chicken or
ham that’s a couple of days over its use-by
date, but I bet your clients have products
they’ve been using for more than a year?
More than five years? You’d be surprised,
many cosmetics have a small jar symbol
with the number of months it will last once
open, after this time it should be thrown
away, whether it is finished or not.
Advise clients never to share products; one
bacterium may be good for them but
harmful for their friend.
If anyone is unsure of sensitivity to a
product, recommend they patch test a small
amount of it behind the ear at least 24 hours
before buying it, and don’t assume that a
product they have been buying for years
won’t suddenly cause a reaction, it can
happen.
Finally if a reaction does occur to a product
bought from your salon, you should seal it
up and send it to the manufacturer so they
can be made aware that their product is
either contaminated or causing sensitivity.
making scents
Do any of your products taste like
strawberries or smell like bubblegum? The
word fragrance can mean a natural fruit
extract or a cocktail of several artificial
chemicals. Some products can contain as
many as 100 fragrance chemicals, albeit
used in minute quantities they can still be
toxic, irritants and harmful. Fragrance is
one of the main causes of sensitivity to
cosmetics.
saints preserve us
Preservatives are the biggest problem when
in comes to sensitivity. Parabens are so
common they are hard to avoid. No
scientific evidence is available to show that
they are safe; the quantities are heavily
restricted in cosmetics and have been linked
with dermatitis and contact allergies. EU
regulations limit the use of total parabens in
one product to 0.8 per cent.
You may also find Butylated
Hydroxyanisole and Hydroxytoluene. Both
BHA and BHT can cause contact allergies
and dermatitis, if absorbed they encourage
the breakdown of Vitamin D. BHA is an
endocrine (hormone) disrupter and BHT is
a possible cancer suspect.
Then there’s talc. There is a risk if breathed
in, however there have been concerns that
talc may contain tetanus (found in soil);
some samples have been found to contain
asbestos. Talc has been linked to ovarian
cancer and has demonstrated soft tissue to
form scarring in humans and animals.
FD&C dyes in make-up are also very
common skin sensitisers. Although
approved by the FDA for use in food, drugs
and cosmetics, the colourants often are
derived from petroleum or coal tar, which
can cause cancer in animals and are
frequent sources of skin rashes and hives.
Obviously the chemicals above are used for
reason, mainly to preserve make-up, but is
it really possible to buy make-up that
avoids these substances? There are brands
that exist which use alternative ingredients
that are safer and healthier for the skin. For
example, Jane Iredale Cosmetics use inert
pulverised minerals, which require no
preservatives and botanical fragrance such
as vanilla extract.

RRP £69.50 Trade £34.50
Cost is a big factor for why these
substances are being used but also as more
studies are undertaken the more informed
we become as to the ingredients that
research has shown to be a risk. There
aren’t always very many alternatives, which
is why cosmetic houses continue to use
these substances until they are forced not to
by regulations. The law states that every
product other than free samples, testers and
professional supplies have to have an
ingredient listing on the product, outer
packaging, leaflet, tag or on a shelf display.
Failing this, either don’t buy the product or
write to the manufacturer and request the
ingredient listing.
It’s vital that women be very concerned
about the number of chemicals in their
cosmetics. Although some of your clients
may be ignorant of this, you’re in the
perfect position to inform them and allow
them to judge what goes on their skin as
carefully as what food they eat. If a woman
asked ten of her friends, how many had
suffered from some sort of reaction to a
cosmetic in their lifetime, she would be
stunned how many would say yes.

nail biters - how
can you help?
circle enquiry card
nails
Tara Olham offers advice
Nail biting actually speeds up the growth of
the nails. This is because the nails are there
to protect the finger from injury and the
body’s natural response to removing this
protection is to send more resources to
replace it. Thus when the nails are bitten, the
body works harder to replace them. A nail
biter would have more success at growing
their nails quicker than a non-nail biter,
however their habit means that they never
see the benefits as the replacement nail is
soon nibbled away.
For most nail biters the worst condition they
probably suffer from is embarrassment
about the condition of their nails. Their nails
are short, untidy and aesthetically not very
attractive. In the worst case scenarios the
excessive biting has followed through onto
the cuticle area and around the nail bed and
has resulted in paronychia (infection of the
soft tissue).
If left, these infections can develop from
red, sore inflammations of the skin to
abscesses that will require draining by a
doctor. Chronic paronychia can often result
in nail plate deformities such as ridges,
rough surfaces, and discoloration and can
even lead to nail plate removal and surgery
on the skin of the nail fold.

GUILD NEWS
natural nail care
The most common service to offer
is an enhancement tip and overlay.
However with very badly bitten
nails this can prove ineffective and
lifting and lost nails occur very
quickly.
Natural nail care is another solution for nail
biters. Regular manicures combined with
some simple homecare treatments can have
dramatic results in a short period of time
providing your client resists the urge to
nibble between appointments. A product
such as OPI’s Nail envy is proven to
strengthen and encourage growth for the
most nibbled nails and the results are visible
after a couple of weeks. Encourage them to
keep their nails neat and painted in bold
bright colours as these create the sharp chic
look of the season.
Reconstructing the nail bed prior to
either sculpting a free edge on or
fitting a tip is the most effective
method of lengthening the nails of
a biter. The method of
reconstructing a nail bed is
technically more difficult than a
regular enhancement service as
well as more time consuming and
should be therefore priced
accordingly. If your standard
charge for a tip and overlay is £40
then a reconstruction should be
priced at around £60.
The basis of a reconstruction
treatment involves elongating the
nail bed using an acrylic powder
that gives you complete coverage
so it is not possible to see where
the nail bed ends. Once a new nail
bed has been formed either a tip
can be applied to it and a fine layer
of clear acrylic used to form an
over lay between the tip and nail
bed or you can sculpt a free onto
the newly formed nail bed.
To carry out this technique you will
have to create your smile line when
constructing the nail bed. The
easiest method of doing this is to
use a structure tip to “cut away”
the smile line at the end of the
reconstructed nail bed. The white
acrylic free edge can then be butted
up to the nail bed to form a perfect
smile line. Anyone wanting to
introduce this technique into their
salons should consider attending a
specialist workshop.

The most effect way of getting a biter to stop
is to book a prescribed course of treatments
specific to them, their lifestyle and budget.

Most hardened nail biters have tried all
types of anti biting products. They have
probably been nagged and harangued about
their habit since they can remember, but are
unable to stop. Some even try hypnosis and
therapy to dissuade them from biting but to
no avail.
help is at hand
circle enquiry card
Nail biting, or to give it its correct
term onychophagy, is one of the
most common nail disorders that
technicians will come across.
Unfortunately for most biters, it is
such a hard habit to conquer as it
has probably stemmed from
childhood and is possibly a
reaction to stress, nerves or
boredom.
Create objectives for each appointment and
this will give them goals to aim for. Make
their objectives small and achievable and
their success at each stage will spur them on
to the next one.
Also make sure you take a deposit for the
entire course of treatments to make sure that
they keep it up. Rewards them each time
they reach their objective with a homecare
product and price these rewards into their
treatment scheme.
The OPI by Lena White nail bar at
Selfridges runs such a scheme and it was
recently trialed by Good Housekeeping
magazine and the reporter was absolutely
thrilled with the results the scheme
produced. As a die-hard nail biter she found
the pre-booked treatments and the objectives
gave her small goals to focus on and the
results were a lovely set of nails that she was
proud to show off.

natural nail manicures

by United Beauty Products
Natural nail manicures are
big news in the world of
Beauty, and with the
Beauty Industry Survey
2007 showing that Luxury
Manicures now have a 78
percent popularity among
clients, maybe it’s time you
considered adding a
Luxury Manicure to your
treatment menu.
Reputedly said to show the first signs of
ageing, the hands and nails spend a lifetime
being exposed to environmental assaults.
During the winter period, many clients may
find their skin has become dry, rough and
chapped and their nails have begun to flake.
This is usually caused by a combination of the
cold weather, central heating and general lack
of vitamins entering the body. So what can
you do to ensure your clients’ nails are
receiving the best possible care?
“Regular manicures are essential to help keep
dry skin well exfoliated and new skin
replenished and moist,” says Tara Oldham,
Senior Trainer at Lena White Ltd. “Nails
will benefit from regular shaping and help to
prevent fraying and flaking at the free edge,
while maintenance of the cuticles will cut
back on hang nails and splits and tears that
can lead to infections.”
a soft touch
by claire matthewman
While basic manicures should be the staple of
every nail technician’s training, offering your
clients a choice of manicures may help you to
keep one step ahead of the game.
“Adapt your treatments to incorporate a hot
oil treatment for the most seriously affected
nail and cuticles, and paraffin wax to put
warmth into those aching joints,” advises
Tara.
wax works
Paraffin wax has a very high heat capacity,
meaning it is able to absorb and retain a great
amount of heat. A paraffin wax treatment
takes advantage of paraffin’s heat-retaining
capacity in a simple process called heat
transfer.

The heat that goes into melting the paraffin
comes out when it solidifies into a
comforting paraffin coating, thus
transferring the heat into the skin. At the
same time, the heat from the paraffin opens
pores and increases circulation in the skin.

Beauty Express recommends beginning
your treatment with the application of
Skintruth™ Hand Treatment Cream with
Avocado and Lavender. Avocado is rich in
Vitamin E for re-hydrating dry skin while
the Lavender will nourish and soothe the

cream before immersing your client’s hands
in the paraffin wax bath, or apply the wax
with a brush.
Once the hands are fully covered, place
them into plastic liners and then terry mitts.
The mini sauna effect that is created enables
the treatment cream to absorb more
efficiently into the skin. The pores are
opened as the temperature of the skin rises
and the result is that skin, previously dry
and rough, becomes deeply nourished and
develops a soft, fresh, healthy appearance.
The paraffin wax salon start up kit, available
from Beauty Express is ideal for introducing
this luxury treatment to you salon or nail
bar. It contains a full-sized Paraffin wax bath
with safety grid and cover; 2kg of apricot
paraffin wax; a pair of Terry mitts and boots,
and 100 hand and feet liners.

Most luxury manicure treatments will
begin with an exfoliating scrub.
“Regular exfoliation of the skin is
essential at this time of the year,
especially as the hands are prone to
chapping and can become very dry and
sore,” says Tara.
Hand spa from Sea of Life is a
pampering spa treatment for the hands to
cleanse, rejuvenate, nourish and refresh.
It softens the skin and erases the signs of
time, leaving the hands healthier and
younger looking, feeling renewed,
refreshed and incredibly soft with a silky
touch.
Gently massage the hands and nails
(concentrating on cuticle and nail bed
area) for three to five minutes each with
the Hand Peeling Butter using a small
teaspoon for each hand. Rinse with
lukewarm water and pat dry. Apply a
generous amount of the Hand Mask over
the hands (up to the elbows), cover with
plastic wrap and leave for 20 minutes.
Remove the wrap, rinse hands with
lukewarm water and pat dry. Finally,
massage Hand Cream into the hands
until absorbed.

antioxidant-rich grapeseed oil, avocado oil,
walnut oil and orange oil to soothe, brighten

Rosemary Oil tones and cooling and
refreshing Peppermint oil, invigorates the
senses. The final touch of Spearmint oil
enhances the properties of the other
ingredients, maximising the effects.
relaxing rubs
Another way to upgrade your manicures is to
add a massage into your treatment - although
depending on the type of massage you are
looking to offer we would strongly advise
that you seek appropriate training before you
start.
“Massage during the treatment is an integral
part of performing a luxury treatment that
will relax the client and increase blood flow
and circulation to the required areas,” says
Lauren Bearman, PR and Marketing
Assistant for Grafton International.
“The therapeutic benefits of touch are
undeniable. It is one of the most basic,
intimate forms of communication. Tension is
responsible for lowering the efficiency of the
immune system; in view of this we see
massage as the most important parts of the
therapeutic manicure.
“It is a time when clients can fully relax and
de-stress. Through the ultra-sensitive nerve
ending in the therapist’s fingertips, the client’s
tensions and stresses of the day can be gently
manipulated away. The secret of good
massage lies in the combination of rhythm,
pressure, continuity and focused contact.
Remember when massaging, your state of
mind is as important as your hands.”
For an ultra pampering experience try
massaging the hands and lower arms with
Nailtiques Cuticle and Hand Conditioner for
ten minutes. Place your client’s hands into
mitt liners then into Heated Mitts. Let the
client relax for ten minutes checking with her
that the temperature is comfortable.

which is enriched with Lavender Essential
Oil to aid with moisturising and softening
properties on dry, brittle and flaky nails.

Kernel to exfoliate the skin and cuticle on
and around the nail, whilst Vitamin Dose has
a unique form of vitamins that are delivered
to the nail bed cells for rejuvenation,
moisturisation, strengthening and
nourishment.
Cuticle Oil will combat dry, torn and
dehydrated cuticles, and can be used as a
salon treatment as well as retail, and Cuticle
Remover is used to soften and lift stubborn
skin on the nail and round the cuticle area.
Nail and Cuticle Conditioner is a milky pink
coloured product with blue Jojoba beads,
especially formulated with Tea Tree oil,
lavender extract and various active
ingredients in bead form. Finally, Executive
Base is a toluene and formaldehyde free,
multi-functional conditioning base coat that
will compress the nail keratin to strengthen
soft nails.
The Lumicell Touch is the perfect
combination of vacuum subdermal
massage and light-based technology
that yields firmer, more beautiful,
smoother and healthier looking skin.

THE PROFITABLE BRAND
£1926 PROFIT
Far from being an additional “extra”, insurance is a must-have
for any therapist in business, explains ABT’s Dave Horton.
in the first month
Dave Horton
Call us for details.
Many therapists put an issue like insurance on the back burner, the
usual reasoning being “it’ll never happen to me . . .” But insurance is one
of the most important things to consider when you open up your own
beauty business, even if you never have to use it.
the insurance company (the provider) is
reputable and known. For example, we use
AXA Insurance and they are very happy for
us to publicise this fact. If a broker is evasive
about who is providing the actual cover, think
twice!
Clearly, insurance is an essential requirement
of any business or individual and should
really be written in to any costs for the year
before anything else.
Finally make sure the company you deal with
understands your business, a car insurer will
know very little about beauty therapy so look
to use specific companies for the field.
Although I know it is tempting to let it slip for
a few days or weeks to save some money, I
cannot emphasise enough the potential risks
of doing so. No matter how good a therapist
you are, insurance is always required,
particularly public liability . . . after all, you
never know when someone may trip over!
If you are fortunate enough not to suffer a loss
during the year, either from a trip or indeed a
treatment that went wrong, then you should
be ok. However, was the gamble worth the
cost of the premium? How often during the
year did you worry about potential claims?
With some great deals around at the moment,
not having adequate insurance really is a
gamble not worth taking.
The NEW PSP System from SORISA
HAVE YOU SEEN THE LIGHT?

NO SCARS
NO INJECTIONS
NO PAIN
In a recent survey through our Irish division,
sixty eight per cent of therapists were either
not insured, or did not understand what they
were, or more importantly, were not insured
for.
which policy?
The advanced treatment system for skin regeneration and
improvement.
So what should therapists look for in an
insurance policy? In my opinon, in simple
vocabulary, for peace of mind you should be
looking for:
Product penetration (Dermis Level) without the use of needles.
• Public Liability (accidents trips and falls),
At the heart of the new PSP system (Photo-Electro Skin Poration) is
the ability to combine electro poration and phototherapy into one
compact ergonomic treatment unit.
Tel: 0161 976 4614
www.sorisa.co.uk
• Treatment Risk (issues while performing the
treatment),
• Products Liability (reactions, etc).
It is important to check what/if any special
conditions the insurer has, exclusions to the
policy, excess (amount paid in the event of a
claim) etc. It is also worth checking if the
policy is for you personally, to allow you to
work from different locations and still be
covered.
Also, if you are employing staff remember
you are required to take out Employers
Liability Insurance against bodily injury or
disease sustained by your employees whilst at
work.
Remember to display a copy of your
Certificate of Insurance in your salon so all
can see you are adequately covered.
exclusions
There may be treatments that are excluded
from standard policies, but which can be
added at a small additional cost. These tend to
be treatments which are more invasive or
offer a slightly higher risk, such as Advanced
Skin Peeling, Advanced Electrolysis,
Micropigmentation, Laser and Intense Pulsed
Light treatments. It is important that your
policy covers every treatment you are offering
in your salon or mobile business, and omitting
information about the treatments you offer
when you take out your insurance could
invalidate your policy so always be honest! If
you’re not sure if your treatments are covered,
then ask.
Reading everything in the proposed policy or
summary of cover is vital. All the small print
is essential; watch out for high excesses, lots
of limitations and exclusions. Also make sure
know what you’re paying for
As well knowing that you have an insurance
policy in place, it’s important to understand
precisely what you are paying for - what
exactly does the fee you are handing over
include? There are several organisations
within the beauty industry, all vying for your
business with each offering different packages
at different costs.
If you are with a company charging a large
fee for membership to be with them, say £60
per year, then do not be afraid to ask them
what it is for. Make sure you look for an
organisation where membership, insurance
and benefits are all listed and you can see the
policy summary and cost breakdown on the
forms before you join, making it clear and
honest.
In a nutshell, then, insurance is vital. For the
cost of your premium you have unloaded all
of the worries and financial concerns of a
potential claim to the insurance company, and
thereby allowing you to concentrate on how
best to run your business.

What on earth is marketing?
Asks John McClements
Over the last three months in Guild News we
have been flying high in cyber space,
exploring the wonders of electronic marketing
techniques such as, ‘On-line salons’, Email
broadcasting, new product searches, websites
and other global possibilities. All very
important, as not to make the best possible use
of modern technology is to expose yourself to
the probilaty of falling behind.
Interesting as the new opportunities are, it is
still vital to keep our feet firmly on the ground
and not forget the important ‘terrestrial
marketing tools’ that have served us well for
many years. So, this month we come back
down to earth with a bang and check out
some basic marketing principles which have
been with us from the time the first ever salon
opened for business, and will most probably
stay with us for ever.
marketing
‘Marketing’ is the one thing you simply must
do to make your business thrive. Marketing is
what brings clients through your door, or, in
the case of mobile therapists, it’s what gets
you through the client’s door.
Don’t believe it? Well try opening a salon
somewhere with the best products, the lowest
prices, the best trained staff but no signs,
windows or window displays of any kind.
When you have done all this make sure not to
tell anyone about it and sit back and wait for
your first client. You may be in for a very long
wait!
The moment however you tell someone what
you are doing, you open yourself to
possibilities. You are marketing. A shop
window is marketing, a business card is
marketing, word of mouth is marketing.
www.inlinelondon.co.uk
T. 0845 077 0045
Marketing however is more than simply
selling, promoting and advertising - although
these actions are a major part of the process.
Marketing doesn’t need to be complicated
unless you make it so. You can keep it as
simple, or as complex as you wish. The basic
principles however remain the same whatever
you do. For a small one therapist village salon
or an international corporation, there should
be four distinctive processes:
1. Strategic Marketing Analysis
2. Communications Planning
3. Marketing Implementation
4. Marketing Control
strategic marketing
analysis
This is where your business starts, it’s
the reason for being in business in the
first place. ‘Strategic Marketing
Analysis’ is simply jargon for
establishing what type of salon or
mobile is needed in which area. It’s
about what you can offer that others
can’t. It’s the answer to the question,
‘Why did you decide to open a salon
or beauty business here?’
Your analysis should tell you what
type of treatments you should be
offering and to whom.
communications
planning
Next in the process comes
‘Communications Planning’. You
have decided (or are deciding) where
you are going into business and why.
You will have decided what it is that
you have to offer that others can’t.
Now you have to plan how to get this
information out to others.
Communication is a constant
requirement, it is on-going so plans
must be made with this in mind.
Think - ever changing window
displays, business cards, advertising,
email broadcasts, leaflets, ‘Open
Days’. Think also of the lowest cost
form of communication, ‘word of
mouth.’ Create a happy satisfied client
and they will become a
communications link with potential
new clients and the cost to you is
zero.
implementation
‘Implementation’, in the words of
Robert Burns: ‘the best laid plans of
mice and men Gang aft agley’ (best
laid plans often go astray). No matter
how good your planning and
preparation, they are for nothing unless
implemented. There is an old saying in
marketing circles, ‘plan your work,
work your plan.’
control
Keep control of your marketing plans
and be aware of what is happening
around you so you can adjust your
plans as necessary. Learn from history
what can happen when marketing
takes over control of the business. It
has been suggested in other marketing
publications, that marketing could
have been a contributory factor in the
sinking of the Titanic. On that fatal
day, the Officer of the Bridge urged on
to make ‘marketing’ headlines with an
early arrival, carried on despite seven
iceberg warnings. The result we now
know was disaster. Was this a case of
marketing taking control?
In your business you are the ‘Captain’
of the your ‘ship.’ You have control
over your marketing. It’s up to you to
make marketing work for you and
your business.
Next month ‘People in
Marketing’
A - Z of
Marketing
a month by month look
at some of the key points
in marketing:
U: Unique Selling Points. USP is
your unique selling point. Also called
your unique selling proposition, it is
what sets you and your business - or
you as an individual - apart from
your competition. It can be an actual
fact or a perceived difference or
specialty. Every business needs one.
V: VIP. This definition is perhaps the
simplest and most important of them
all. It describes your clients and
potential clients - they are all ‘very
important people’.

colon hydrotherapy
colon hydrotherapy
inside
out
Your clients’ homes shouldn’t be
the only thing getting a spring
clean this year . . .
by sarah dolman
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could help your
clients embark on a diet or detox
programme by transporting them back to a
time before the invasion of turkey and
mince pies? Imagine how healthy they
would be (and feel) if you could erase years
of bad eating habits and over-consumption.
Well, luckily this is something you can do,
and there’s no Tardis required - just colon
hydrotherapy.
Unfortunately it’s these two words that
seem to provoke automatic clenching in
even the bravest of men and women.
Whether they know it as colon
hydrotherapy, colonic irrigation or a bowel
wash out (just a few of its many guises), it
often gets an immediate negative reaction,
and one that is actually quite unjustified.
Of course, the stigma lies in exactly what,
or rather where, the treatment relates to. As
a nation of stereotypical prudes, most Brits
are programmed to shudder at the thought
of anything clinical being inserted into that
area, and therefore most of us would rather
eat our own eyeballs than have a colonic.
However, times are a-changing: “The
introduction of revolutionary new
techniques utilising the open system of
colonic hydrotherapy [which ensures more
privacy], coupled with celebrity
endorsements and a general rise in interest
in health and well-being have caused an
unprecedented demand for the skills of
colon therapists,” reports Suzanne Winfield,
Principal of The British School of Colon
Hydrotherapy.
84
GUILD NEWS
In fact, it has become almost fashionable to
have the treatment - after all, Princess
Diana swore by regular colonics, and a flick
through the latest gossip magazines will no
doubt reveal yet another celebrity who has
converted to the tube - plus who can forget
Dr Gillian McKeith popularising the
treatment by parading participants’ poop on
You Are What You Eat!
For those that can see past the stigma, colon
hydrotherapy can finally get rid of all the
nasties that have been lurking in their
digestive system for years, perhaps even
decades.
And let’s face it, unless you run a health
centre for saints, there’s probably not a
client on your books who couldn’t benefit
from some colon cleansing.
a weight off your
colon
Think of your colon as a dirty filter,
clogged up by years of consuming foods
that the body finds difficult to process, as
well as other pollutants:
“We can not only pollute our body with
toxins from a diet that is low in fibre and
too high in fat, salt and additives; but also
from overuse of antibiotics, the use of
everyday chemical substances in our homes
and places of work, and even from the air
that we breathe,” says Marie Amesbury of
the West of England School of Colon
Hydrotherapy.
Walk like an
Egyptian!
Whilst demand for colon
hydrotherapy might be fairly new, the
treatment is far from nouveau.
The first recorded colon cleansing
treatment was way back in Egyptian
times, detailed in a document called
The Ebers Papyrus, which carbon
dating has traced back to between
1500 and 1700 BC.
Herbal concoctions were mixed with
water for a treatment for constipation,
as the Egyptians believed the root of
many physical ailments could be
tracked back to the colon.
“In this toxic era, we need fibre more than
ever, to help us neutralise the toxins and
scrub them out of our system,” adds Marie.
“Through colonics are no replacement for a
balanced healthy diet, they can certainly rub
the slate clean, and motivate you [or your
clients] with a healthier, less toxic lifestyle.”
It’s no wonder that after treatments clients
report experiencing heightened energy, an
increased sense of well-being and renewed
vitality - colon hydrotherapy is all about
lightening the load, both physically and
mentally.

Treatments can help to alleviate medical
problems such as bloating, flatulence,
allergies and intolerances, Irritable Bowel
Syndrome (IBS), constipation, diarrhoea,
skin problems, headaches, candida or MS,
and as colonic irrigation is not available on
the NHS, some clients may be referred for
treatments from their GP.
getting down to business
Treatments begin with a consultation taking into account the client’s medical
history, lifestyle, diet and any areas of
concern. Then, it’s down to business...
The exact procedure depends upon the type
of system used - there are three types to
choose from, the closed gravity and closed
pressure systems, and the open system,
such as the LIBBE machine used in our
treatment review. The procedure is far more
simple than most would imagine - a small,
rectal tube is inserted (about the width of a
pencil) and warm, filtered water is flushed
into the colon through the tube, to cleanse
the colon and flush out waste. The therapist

Colon Hydrotherapy Training
West of England School of

Hydrotherapy
I-ACT approved regional
training centres in:
• Bristol
• London
• Leicester
• Newcastle
We offer the highest quality training by an
experienced lecturer and Therapist. We are proud
to have achieved a 100% record in student
satisfaction. As a direct result of our programmes,
there are now many professional Colon
Hydrotherapists running successful clinics all over
Europe. We include a lifetime support and
mentoring programme following successful
completion of your training.
Then it was time. The system used is called the LIBBE (Lower
Intestine Bottom Bowel Evacuation System). Next to the LIBBE
bed was a water-heating device, which Marie had set to a
comfortable 35-36C. My body would take in twenty-five litres of
double purified water over a period of around 40 minutes.
A small pencil-thin plastic rectal tube, which is fully sterile, is
attached to the LIBBE bed. The client inserts the tube themselves
without the presence of the therapist, meaning it is non-intrusive,
covers themselves with a towel, and lies back.
We use the latest colon hydrotherapy technology
from the U.S and are the only approved training
centre in the UK.

On arrival at the clinic Marie put me at ease instantly. The thorough
pre-treatment consultation took me through what the procedure
entailed. We discussed my general health and well-being as well as
the health of my stools, any conditions that were concerning me and
what I hoped to achieve from the treatment.

Marie stayed with me whilst the first tube of warm water entered my
lower intestine, and I could actually feel my intestine filling up
which was quite a strange but not unpleasant sensation.
Marie told me that as soon as I felt full, I should ‘evacuate’, and I
turned to see the illuminated clear pipe which ran from the LIBBE
into the clinic’s sewage system. To be honest, the thought of viewing
my own ‘waste’ through an illuminated clear pipe had not previously
filled me with joy, but once I could see what was literally being
flushed out of me, it was strangely rewarding to see an increasing
amount of toxins being removed.
About half way through, Marie massaged my colon to help release
more waste. At this point, my body began to experience a ‘healing
crisis’, making me feel nauseous and crampy. She said this was not
uncommon, especially when my body was expelling toxins that
could have been present in my system for at least ten years. The
Clients have ample time to relax during the treatment - some bring
laptops, hold phone conversations or bring something good to read,
as therapist Marie demonstrates!
treatment continued until all 25-litres of water had been taken in and
I wriggled off the LIBBE. I was surprised at how dignified, private
and non-intrusive a treatment like this could be.
Immediately following the treatment I drank plenty of water, and
avoided any food or drink that contained the toxins that my body
had just expelled. Marie recommended a probiotic would help to
keep my gut healthy too.
To be honest, it did take a couple of hours for all of the water within
my system to be released, but this was controllable and there was no
rushing to the loo as I had feared! Due to the healing crisis I spent
the rest of the day relaxing, but any client who had not had this
reaction could have gone straight back to work with no problems.
I weighed myself and found I had lost 3lbs, my stomach was flatter
and I felt so much lighter. That night I slept better than I had in a
long time, and the next day I felt energised and generally fresher.

trust your gut feeling
Becoming a colon hydrotherapy
practitioner is not for everyone - but for
those who possess the right personal and
professional traits, it can be a very
profitable enterprise. You might not think it
but the treatment has high client retention,
and The British School of Colon
Hydrotherapy reports that students can
attain earnings in excess of £60,000 per
annum, even with only a “modicum of
business experience!”
Marie Amesbury and owner Am Vadhesha in Beau Aesthetica’s colon therapy treatment room.
There is no statutory regulation for colon
hydrotherapy treatments in the UK,
although there are a number of bodies
involved in setting standards and
monitoring training, such as The
International Association for Colon
Hydrotherapy (I-ACT), The Association
and Register of Colon Hydrotherapists
(ARCH), and The Guild of Colon
Hydrotherapists. To register with one of
these, you will need to complete an
approved course.
Alternatively, The Chi Centre is an I-ACT
and CMA (Complementary Medical
Association)-approved colon hydrotherapy
training centre based in Maidenhead,
Berkshire, and the only centre in Europe to
have all three colonic systems installed.
Students are taught on the closed systems
and introduced to the operation of the open
system, allowing them to choose a
preferred system before investing in one.
Courses such as those held at The British
School of Colon Hydrotherapy, based at
The Stoodley Clinic in West Yorkshire, are
open to everyone from a health and beauty
background:
The school offers both an intensive 10-day
programme and a flexitime five-day
programme for advanced students, with the
option to train a small number of therapists
as a low-cost start-up alternative - and
classes will never exceed four students.
“Whilst it is desirable to have two years
anatomy and physiology based training and
or practical experience, it is not always
necessary,” Principal Suzanne Winfield
explains. However, “the ideal candidate
must be well motivated, professional in
appearance and manner and keen to learn.”
Course contents include digestive anatomy
and physiology, form and function of the
large intestine, management of common
digestive complaints, 25 case studies
through both practical sessions and theory,
post-colonic nutritional advice, indications
and contraindications and hygiene.
The School is recognised and run under the
auspices of I-ACT, and holds courses every
month, covering all four levels of
examination, from Level 1 Foundation to
Instructor Level.
Finally the West of England School of
Colon Hydrotherapy, run by Principal
Marie Amesbury (who carried out the
treatment on our reviewer), offers an I-ACT
approved curriculum to train and certify
students using the state of the art LIBBE
colon hydrotherapy method, leading to
Foundation level certification.
“A typical foundation level course would
consist of five days of classroom tuition, in
addition to two days of practical clinical
treatments,” adds Suzanne. The School
provides training on the two leading open
systems on the market, and are happy to
assist with advice on post-training
equipment purchase. On completion of the
course, students gain entry into I-ACT, and
can obtain professional indemnity insurance
at reasonable costs.

GUILD NEWS
The Taunton-based School provides an
intensive seven-day training course
including five days of classroom-based
tuition and a two-day practical clinical
internship at the Inner Health Clinic facility.
Class sizes are restricted to just six students
to ensure that every individual receives
personal attention, and students who
demonstrate the ability will also have the
option of sitting the intermediate and
advanced certification level exams whilst
attending the course.
Already a trained colon hydrotherapist and
in need of some new equipment? Colon
Therapy Supplies are suppliers of the
Toxygen™ BSC-UV colon hydrotherapy
system, a patented, built-in multi-stage
water filtration system with state of the art
ultraviolet sterilizer, one micron solid back
carbon filter and built-in cleansing and
disinfection system. Colon Therapy
Supplies can also offer advice on local
training programmes.
In the grand scheme of things, colon
hydrotherapy is much like going to the
dentist - appointments leave most of us in
trepid anticipation for days beforehand, but
the reality is almost never as bad as we
imagine, and in return for our bravery we
get something that enhances our well-being,
and boosts our health.
So encourage your clients to take the

As the biting January
winds are rattling the
windowpanes, the desire to
curl up next to the fire
with a creamy hot chocolate
and a pile of biscuits stirs
the belly. We do not tire of
festive feasting and
merriment easily!
But even we have to admit there will come a
point when, New Year’s resolution or not, we
will have to face facts - the perpetual plate is
not healthy.
What we eat and how we eat currently
dominates all forms of media. From
newspaper articles and news reports to
television programmes such as You Are What
You Eat, the pressure on society to
acknowledge and make dietary changes is
reinforced daily as the obesity levels in the
UK continue to unprecedented levels.
Obesity is now one of the major public
health issues in the developing world. It can
lead to increased risk of heart disease, type II
diabetes and some cancers.
In 2005, 22 per cent of English men and 24
per cent of women were classified as obese.
The Tackling Obesities: Future Choices
project by Foresight, published in October
2007 (www.foresight.gov.uk), predict that by
2050, 60 per cent of men and 50 per cent of
women could be clinically obese. Children
are not excluded from these concerns with
nearly one fifth of boys and one fifth of girls
between the ages of 2-15 years classified as
obese, resulting in the frenzied attack on
school dinners and Advertising Standards’
proposed and implemented watersheds on
child-targeted junk food advertising.
So what then are the health risks? Around 58
per cent of type II diabetes, 21 per cent of
heart disease, and between eight per cent and
42 per cent of certain cancers (endometrial,
breast, and colon) are attributable to excess
body fat. Obesity is responsible for 9,000
premature deaths each year in England, and
reduces life expectancy by, on average, nine
years.
Although the rise in obesity cannot be
attributed to any single factor, it is the
imbalance between energy in (through the
food choices we make) and energy out
(mainly through physical activity), which is
the root cause.
Obese people are more likely to suffer from
social and psychological problems, such as
depression, prejudice, discrimination,
stigmatisation and low self-esteem.
Obesity also has serious economic costs. It
has been estimated that the cost of obesity to
the NHS is approximately £1billion per year,
with an additional £2.3b - £2.6b per year to
the economy as a whole. Foresight predicts
that without action, obesity-related diseases
will cost an extra £49.9 billion per year.
Well, the statistics speak for themselves,
don’t they? As professionals in the health and
wellness arena we are constantly confronted
with the signs and symptoms of unhealthy
lifestyles. Poor skin condition, poor stress
management, toxic accumulations such as
cellulite, water retention and excess weight
can all be diet related.
Whether we are dealing with stress that has
altered eating behaviours, or emotional issues
with low self esteem and poor body image,
or simply a little extra padding from a sweet
tooth, long term eating patterns can have
serious health consequences. We have a
responsibility to help and support our clients
which may include referring them for
nutritional advice.
At the International Dermal Institute we
recognise that the professional therapist
requires a large body of knowledge (no pun
intended . . .) to be able to accurately consult
and recommend treatments and products for
clients. Having an understanding of the
influence of nutrition on general health is a
crucial element of this knowledge and, as
such, we are thrilled to introduce a new guest
lecturer specialist in the field of nutrition.
Dr Marilyn Glenville PhD is a registered
member of the Nutrition Society, a Fellow of
The Royal Society of Medicine,
psychologist, author of eight international
bestsellers, and broadcaster who obtained her
doctorate from Cambridge University. Dr
Glenville has over 25 years’ experience and
is recognized as the UK’s leading expert in
nutritional health for women.
An internationally acclaimed speaker, Dr
Glenville will be presenting at our Guest
Speaker Evening Monday 28th January
2008. The subject to be addressed is relevant
to every skin and body therapist both
personally and professionally - Improving
Energy and Stopping Food Cravings.
The focus of the evening is to uncover the
relationship between what we eat and how
we feel. This dynamic seminar will set you
up with a good basic grasp of nutrition to be
able to answer your clients’ questions.
Dr Glenville will also be running two half
day workshops - Stress and Nutrition and
The Nutritional Approach to Balancing
Hormones - in our new calendar. We hope
you will find her not only informative but an
inspiration that motivates a change.
The health of the nation cannot be ignored.
The far reaching implications to our
economy, health service and no doubt our
industry too will force us to take stock. Even
if you have read this article and only
considered it on a personal level that has got
to be a start. The therapist who will not take
care of themself cannot be of any help to the
client.

International Dermal Institute for a host of
dynamic post graduate classes, seminars and
workshops with experts in their fields. To be
empowered to strive towards limitless
personal and professional possibilities, and

keeping
mum
In an industry predominantly filled with female employees, it’s
likely at some point either yourself, a colleague or employee will
start or add to a family. Pregnant employees are entitled to
maternity leave and statutory maternity pay, and their partners
have entitlements too.
As well as upholding the law by complying
with these rights, it’s also good practice for
employers as it can help enhance team
loyalty and retain experienced staff.
When an employee discovers she is
pregnant, she should tell her employer at
least 15 weeks before the beginning of the
week the baby’s due, and advise on when
the due date and when they wish for
maternity leave to start. Employers can ask
for notice in writing, and a copy of Form
MAT B1, provided by a doctor or midwife
which will state the baby’s due date.
It is often helpful to keep in touch with
your employer during your maternity
leave, and an employer is entitled to
make reasonable contact with their
employee during this period, such as
updating you on any significant
changes in the salon or Spa whilst
you’ve been away.
Once an employer has been advised of the
date that the maternity leave will
commence, they should write to the
employee within 28 days, to confirm the
date that the maternity leave will end.
The employee is also entitled to work
for up to ten days work during their
maternity leave without losing
maternity pay or bringing leave to an
end, but only if you and your
employer agree. These can be useful
for things such as training or team
events. You will need to agree with
your employer what work is to be
done on these Keeping in Touch Days
and how much pay you will receive.
maternity leave
statutory maternity pay
Statutory maternity leave is for 52 weeks.
To qualify for maternity leave you must be
an ‘employee’ with a contract of
employment. As an ‘employee’ you have the
right to 26 weeks of ‘Ordinary Maternity
Leave’ and 26 weeks ‘Additional Maternity
Leave’ - making one year in total. Provided
employees meet certain notification
requirements, they can take this no matter
how long they’ve been with their employer,
how many hours they work or how much
they’re paid.
To qualify for Statutory Maternity Pay
(SMP) employees must pay tax and
national insurance. The law now allows
SMP to be paid for up to 39 weeks. The
employer will pay 90 per cent of an
employees average weekly earnings for
the first six weeks, then up to £112.75 for
the remaining 33 weeks. Tax and
National Insurance is paid in the same
way as on regular wages. If you
definitely qualify for maternity pay and
your employer refuses to pay it, it will be
treated as an unlawful deduction from
your wages. It may also count as
unlawful sex discrimination.
Employees can start their leave any time
from 11 weeks before the beginning of the
week when the baby’s due. If employees are
off work because of their pregnancy in the
four weeks before the expected birth date,
the employer can make them start their
maternity leave. The full entitlement of
maternity leave does not have to be taken if
the employee chooses not to, however you
must take two weeks of ‘compulsory
maternity leave’ after the baby’s born.
92
GUILD NEWS
Employers can claim back 92 per cent of
the maternity payments made, and if
you’re the owner of a small business, you
may be eligible for small employers’
relief where you can claim back 104.5
per cent.

other family benefits
Additional benefits that may be available to
expectant and new mothers include Child

Child Beneift, free prescriptions and dental

paternity leave & pay
If you’re a father-to-be, or will be
responsible with the mother for bringing up
the child, under certain conditions,
employees have the right to paid paternity
leave for either one or two weeks. This
leave will be paid if you earn at least the
lower earnings limit (LEL) for National
Insurance Contributions (currently £87 a
week). Like SMP, statutory paternity pay
(SPP) is currently paid at £112.75 per week
or 90 per cent of your average weekly
earnings if this is lower.
adoption
If a member of staff adopts a child then they
are also eligible for adoption leave and pay.
discrimination
It is unlaw to discriminate against a member
of the team based on pregnancy. This can
relate to treating a pregnant employee
differently from other members of the team,
putting pregnant employees at a
disadvantage because of certain working
practices or rules, or harrassment and/or
victimisation either from an employer or
other employees.

The second stage is called Photo energy and uses Skinlight
technology to help reduce any potential redness caused by the
microdermabrasion stage. The final step in the treatment programme
is the Chemical phase, which uses Peeling lotion and Soothing
Neutraliser to perfect the exfoliation and reinforce cell renewal.
The new Spalasium Massage Oils by Pevonia combine natural, preblended ingredients to provide an oil base fully compatible with the
skin for optimum absorbency and proven skincare benefits.
The range includes: Serenity Aromatherapy Massage Oil, a pure
concentration of Lavender extract to alleviate stress and induce
relaxation, counteracting feelings of nervousness and apprehension;
Recovery Aromatherapy Massage Oil, which contains therapeutic
Eucalyptus and Camphor unite to deliver stimulating benefits while
promoting warmth and healing, improving respiration and stimulating
circulation; Vitality, which incorporates Rosemary and Grapefruit
extracts to uplift the spirit, stimulate alertness, and counteract lethargy,
while clearing the mind and increasing concentration, and finally,
Clarity - an unscented Massage Oil with pure Safflower and Grape
Seed Oil. For more information, telephone 01449 727000 quoting
Guild News.
In addition to the three stage treatment, clients can prolong the effects
at home using one of two specially designed kits: the DermoResurfacing Kit is a two stage radiance boosting programme, whilst
the Dermo-Peel Kit is an ideal skin rejuvenating programme for the
over 40’s.

New for 2008 from Depilex, is the third generation of the Physique
unit - ‘Physique Ultima’. The re-design includes both internal circuitry
and external packaging, resulting in a more compact modern
appearance.

pre-set programmes can be selected. All the treatments exercise
muscle groups, but emphasis can be put on certain conditions
including programmes for firming, slimming, oedema and cellulite.
Free training is offered with purchase of the unit together with a
marketing package to launch the treatment including posters and
handout brochures.
