Some salons do need to carry out
Disclosures and Barring Service (DBS)
checks (previously CRB checks). Once
conducted, the results are available online.
Employers will be able to check nothing
has been added to a record, meaning
employees do not have to obtain a new
check each time they start a job. This is to
be introduced in 2013.
From summer 2013, employees wishing to
take their case to an Employment Tribunal
will have to pay a fee. Two fee levels have
been announced
• Level One claims, the issue fee is £160
and the hearing fee is £230
• Level Two claims, the issue fee is £250
and the hearing fee is £950 (for more
complex and time consuming cases)
There will be exemptions in cases of
hardship and the fees refundable if the
applicant wins.
REDUNDANCY
There is a proposal to reduce the time an
employer has to consult with staff before
redundancy. Currently where 100 staff
are affected it is a minimum of 90 days
for the consultation. It is proposed that a
new minimum period if consultancy will be
reduced to 45 days.
EXTENDED PARENTAL LEAVE
Parents with children under five can take
up to 13 weeks unpaid leave up to the
child’s fifth birthday. From March 2013, the
period of leave on offer is extended to 18
weeks. Due to the fact its unpaid, take up
has been low.

The National Minimum Wage for apprentices is £2.65 per hour. Many employers prefer to
pay more however, and research shows that the average salary is approx £170 per week
The government recently accepted the
independent Low Pay Commission’s (LPC)
recommendations for this year’s adult and
youth National Minimum Wage (NMW)
rates.
However, the government has concluded
that the apprentice rate should be increased
rather than frozen as recommended by the
LPC. The LPC based this recommendation
on concerns about level of compliance with
the apprentice rate.

We did!
The following rates will come into effect on
1 October 2013:
•the apprentice rate will increase by 3p to
£2.68 an hour.

increase by 12p to £6.31 an hour
•the rate for 18-20 year olds will increase
by 5p to £5.03 an hour
•the rate for 16-17 year olds will increase

Business Secretary Vince Cable said:
“The independent Low Pay Commission

employers are not paying apprentices the

Apprenticeships are at the heart of our
goal to support a stronger economy,
and so it is important to continue to
make them attractive to young people.
Therefore, I am not taking forward the
LPC’s recommendation to freeze the
apprenticeship rate due to non-compliance,
but instead am raising it in line with the
youth rates. We are working on a series of
tough new measures to ensure we tackle
non-compliance issues across the board”.

All new apprentices will be registered for Functional Skills unless
they have already achieved the required level at GCSE. Those
already registered for Key Skills will have until 30 September 2013

Whilst Key Skills comprised of two assessment components- a
generic multiple choice test and a portfolio of evidence developed

Being chosen as the stylist for a bride and her
party’s big day is a huge honour and responsibility.
Here are some photos of the Saks
Education team at their recent weddings
and their chosen bridal looks.
Here, Ann Fletcher, Hairdressing Training Co-ordinator gives you some guidance.
All clients, but especially brides like to sit back, relax and enjoy being pampered in
preparation for their big day. You will need to carry out a full in depth consultation and
a trial run session to ensure you achieve the look that will ensure you have a beautiful
and radiant bride.
You need to know whether the bride is having the following;
• Classic or informal dress
• A hair piece/extensions
• Ornamentation i.e. tiara or hair clips
• Preferences to wearing the hair up or down
• The time of the wedding, how much time will you have? (you may need to go into
the salon early or organise a home visit)
• Details of other members of the bridal party (the mother of the bride, bridesmaids,
flower girls etc, you may need help from a colleague)
• Always carry out a trial run not only to ensure the bride is happy but to time
yourself on how long you will need on the big day as the bride is sure to be on a
tight schedule. Take photos of the desired look to remind yourself on the day.
• Ask the bride to look at styles in magazines or on the internet to get ideas of what
she likes and doesn’t like
• Make sure your bride has the ends trimmed a few weeks before and has a course
of conditioning treatments before her big day to keep her hair in tip top condition
Some salons charge a set price for hair ups, while others offer full bridal packages
which can include make up etc. Creating bridal styles can be a time consuming task
so ensure your pricing reflects this.
12 make-up tips for
a professional photoshoot
An important step in preparing for a photo shoot is deciding on a “look” for the
makeup. You need to think about what you are attempting to portray in your
image. Do you want the focus to be on the eyes, the lips or are you going for a
natural look?
Decide what theme you are going for; Avant-garde, commercial, 50s, 60s etc. Research the
look you want to achieve and create a mood board of ideas and inspiration.
create a mood board of
ideas and inspiration
Here are a few tips to bear in mind:
1. Prepare the skin a couple of days before, this
should include exfoliation and mask and tweezing
and trimming the eyebrows, as any hairs will be
evident on camera
2. Moisturise the skin at least 10 minutes before
applying the make-up. Blot the skin just before
applying a primer to ensure excess oils is absorbed,
to prevent shine
3. Use primer to even out skin tone, reduce shine
and minimise the appearance of pores
4. Use concealer to disguise any blemishes. Use a
colour one shade below the foundation colour
you will be using. Green concealer will hide red
blemishes and lilac/purple concealer will reduce the
appeared of sallow (yellow) skin
5. When using foundation choose a matt finish and
use a foundation with a strong coverage. This will
create a blank canvas on the skin
6. Apply lots of loose powder to set the foundation
and remove any shine on the face, creating a matt
canvas
7. To create sculpted bone structure, apply a shader
to the areas you want to look chiselled, such as
the jaw line and below the cheek bones. Across
the upper cheek bone apply a highlighter with a
light shimmer. This causes the light to reflect off
the upper cheek bone, creating sculptured cheek
bones
8. Working on the same principles of highlighting the
cheek bones, highlight the brow bone
9. Avoid eye shadow that is frosted, shimmer or
glitter; this will bounce off the flash and distort
the shadow effect.; whereas, very dark colours will
create a hole in the image

There are more than 250 different types of Apprenticeships available
offering over 1,400 job roles
DID YOU KNOW...
10. Eyeliner must be applied with precision, as any error will be evident on camera
11. Lip liner should be applied precisely and should be the same colour as the
natural lip or the same colour as the lipstick.
12. Remember, throughout the shoot, to blot the skin and reapply translucent
powder to remove shine
92% of employers who employ apprentices believe that Apprenticeships
lead to a more motivated and satisfied workforce
Top tips on Wedding
hair preparation
How to organise a
hairdressing photoshoot
Most hairdressers at some point in their career will participate in a photo shoot. Whether it be for
a competition entry, to raise the salon’s profile or as part of a fashion shoot. Even for experienced
hairstylists this can be both stressful and overwhelming. The key to reduce the stress is careful
planning and preparation. Remember fail to prepare, prepare to fail!
Budget
How much have you got to spend?
You will have various costs to cover, the
biggest one likely to be the cost of the
photographer. You will also need to consider
the cost of a makeup artist, clothes stylist,
models, assistants, food, drink, equipment,
clothes, colour products and hair styling
products
If you are working on a tight budget you
may be able to trade with local suppliers,
clothes shops, makeup artists etc in exchange
for some free advertising or use of the
photographs.
Mood Board
A mood board is a visual resource put
together to enable a hairdresser to visualise
their ideas. It may include pictures, fabrics,
colours, magazine cuttings, words, samples etc.
The mood board should be used to convey
to the photographer and the rest of the team
the look you are aiming to portray in the
photographed images.
You will need to gather ideas on haircuts,
styles, colouring, clothes, shoes, props, makeup, locations, etc
Find examples from websites and magazines
- you are looking for inspiration and direction,
not copying! You will also need to find a
photographer with a style that reflects this
vision and can work with your ideas.
Call in the Experts
On the day of the shoot you won’t be able
to do everything.You may need to call on the
help of others such as - a stylist, to source
clothes and put the look together, a makeup
artist and of course the photographer.You
will need to meet with them all prior to the
DID YOU KNOW...
shoot and give them an idea of what you are
trying to achieve. Take along your mood board,
and your ideas, they may help you formalise
these ideas, or give you pointers of what can
and cannot be achieved. It can be expensive
to produce professional standard work. Think
about getting in touch with your local college,
to see if they have any photography and makeup students that may be happy to get involved
for the experience and copies of the photos
for their portfolio. They often have access to
good equipment too.
Models
The standard of the model used will make or
break the shoot. Sourcing good photogenic
hair models is probably the hardest and most
important aspect of organising a shoot. Take a
snapshot of any models you are considering
first, are they photogenic? Often it’s models
with quite angular faces that photograph
better for hair shots. Being tall or pretty the
standard requirements for Catwalk models
is not always necessary for photographic
models.
Location
Once you have your photographer, makeup
artist, stylist and models, you need to find a
location. If the location is the photographer’s
studio, you need to check space and size is big
enough for you. Do you have a preparation
area? Will all the models be pre-cut/coloured?
Is there a changing room or waiting area?
If you are looking at doing a shoot outside,
then you need to check with the local
authority to see whether you are able to
do that, if you need insurance etc. - the
photographer maybe able to help with this.
Put together a running order for the actual
day, what haircuts/colours you are doing and
in what order.
Pre-Shoot
It is highly recommended that haircuts and
hair colouring are done before the day of the
shoot, so that on the day all you need to do
is dress the hair. Trying to cut and colour a
number of models on the shoot day will not
only take up all of your time, it will interfere
with the flow of the shoot.
Shoot Day
Have you told everyone the location and
correct date and time? Ensure that they
are aware - time is money! If you have told
them that it’s a 9am start, ensure that they
are there for that time- the best thing is to
COMMUNICATE!
Ensure you have all the equipment you need
for the day: hairbrushes, combs, hair products,
scissors for last minute tidying, electrical tools,
accessories, etc. You will need to run through
the hairstyles with the photographer and the
running order you have planned for the day try and stick to it.
Once the day has started, it’s really just a
matter of ensuring that everything runs
smoothly and that everyone is aware of their
roles and responsibilities. During the day
the photographer should be able take you
through the photos that have been taken at
each stage, you need to ensure that you are
happy with them, rather than getting to the
end of the shoot, because by then, if you’re
not happy, it’s too late!
Attention to detail is paramount to the
success of a photo shoot, one thing to be
aware of is the over use of hairspray, today’s
digital cameras show up every fine detail and
hairspray can reflect on images and make it
difficult to smooth down stray hairs which
can stand out on still shots.

A TEAM
The Saks A team exists to nurture the talent and creativity of the stylist within the Saks salons
network. It’s an amazing opportunity for stylists to take off their salon heads and explore the
wonderful world of ‘haute couture’ hair under the expert instruction of the Saks Art Team and Saks
Creative Director, Alison Dace.
“The Saks A Team is all about creativity,
cultivating skills and lots of hard work” says
Alison. “The opportunity to join the A Team is
open to any stylist in the Saks salon network,
but rigorous testing ensures only a few are
granted a place in the exclusive team per
year. The A Team provides valuable training
to those wanting to explore their creativity;
progressing stylists from following hair trends
to creating them.”
The A team meets monthly with the Saks Art
Team, who teach a plethora of new skills such
as mood boarding, research and development
and building collections. The 2013 A Team
will also immerse themselves in photographic
work, hairdressing seminars and events, shows
and session hairdressing to heighten creativity.
Congratulations to A Team 2013 members,
which includes a number of former and
current Saks Education learners, taking a

Grace Dalgleish
Natasha Rodrigues achieved her Hairdressing Apprenticeship
whilst at Saks Yarm and has now progressed onto her Advanced
Apprenticeship.
Saks Education, Lytham based Advanced Apprentice Grace
Dalgleish has been a busy competition bee recently winning the
Saks Junior Image Award and bagging herself a place in the live
final of the L’Oreal Colour Trophy 2013, Young Colourist Award.
Here Grace tells use where she found her inspiration from for her
entries and gives us a look at her mood board.
She encountered some problems when she was involved in a car
accident, but undeterred Natasha refused to let this hold her back
and was determined to complete her qualification.
Natasha is a creative learner and is always looking for challenges
that will stretch her abilities and help her work to a higher level,
she had also expressed an interest in joining the Saks Art Team.
Natasha discussed this with her Saks Educator, Bev Smith, who
helped Natasha draft an email to send to Alison Dace, Creative
Director of the Saks Art Team. Natasha was invited to attend the
Saks Academies, London for an interview. Natasha had to travel
to London on her own, which she had never done before and on
top of that the day involved working alongside other applicants,
a hairdressing presentation and then the formal interview. To say
Natasha was a bundle of nerves was an understatement, somehow
she says she managed to remain calm and collected throughout
and was rewarded for her hard work and determination with a
place on the Saks A Team.
I got my inspiration from looking at New York fashion week and Vogue.
I saw that purple was going to be a massive trend and made it my
own! Purple is known as a luxury colour and it was only ever seen worn
by the upper-class many years ago, so I wanted to keep my theme
quite royal and that’s how I came up with ‘purple reign’.
Natasha is still buzzing from her success and is looking forward
to meeting up with all of the other successful applicants who will
make up the A Team 2013.
Good luck Grace, Saks Education wishes you all the very best!
Competition work is a massive passion of mine, it really excites me
and I like to challenge myself.
Grace is now looking forward to the next stage of the L’Oreal
Colour Trophy for which she will travel down to London to
complete a half head of highlights, a creative colour and a 10
minute presentation. The winners will be announced at the grand
final, which will take place on Monday 3rd June 2013 at Grosvenor
House, London.

Got
sore hands?
How to get a bikini
body in 4 weeks!
Hairdressers are prone to
irritant contact dermatitis and
up to 70% of hairdressers
suffer from work related skin
damage such as dermatitis at
some point in their career. In
most cases this is absolutely
preventable.
Summer holidays are on their way, so
here are a few tips to get you started....
and when you start losing weight today,
you’ll want to keep it off tomorrow!!
DIET
EXERCISE
This is just as important as diet and with the two combined you
can achieve a great result in just 4 weeks. Circuit training is an
excellent way to get your heart rate up, boosting metabolism
and helping you to lose weight. Just follow the circuit below, but
remember that exercise should be fun, so do something that you
enjoy!!
• 20 Jumping Jacks
This is the MOST important part. You CANNOT out train a bad
diet and what you put into your body will definitely show on the
outside. Follow these tips to ensure you’re feeling beach ready:
• Cut out ALL processed and refined foods
• Cut down on salt and sugar
• Cut out wheat based foods such as bread and pasta
• Cut down on caffeinated drinks including coffee and fizzy drinks
• Include healthy grains such as brown rice and sweet potato
• 20 Burpees
• 20 Lunges
• 5 minute run
• 10 Push Ups
This can flare up after using chemicals just a few times. More
commonly it develops gradually through frequent wet working or
working with milder chemicals like shampoo. This is often a vicious
circle. A patch of skin may become sore after being in contact with
an irritating substance. This causes skin damage, once damaged;
the skin is more easily affected by irritants. So, further contact,
even with small amounts of the substance, may cause further
inflammation and damage and so on.
• 20 Lunges
Allergic contact dermatitis
• 5 minute run
This can develop quickly after only a few contacts with a substance
like shampoos or colours. Sometimes it can take months or even
years for the allergy to develop. Once you are allergic it is highly
likely you will be allergic for life and this could happen at any time,
even if you have had no problems previously in your career. With
allergic contact dermatitis, the things you can become allergic to
at work might well also be in things you use at home - like your
shampoo, or your household cleaners. So if you become allergic to
something in the salon it could well affect all aspects of your life.
Repeat 3 times
• Make sure you are eating enough protein, as protein fills you up
and helps maintain your lean muscle as well as containing lots
of vitamins and minerals, good sources are: fish, chicken, turkey,
lean red meat such as fillet steak, pulses and eggs
If you stick to the diet and exercise, you should see results in as
little as 1 week!
Finish off with 30 seconds plank hold, 20 crunches and 20 bicycle
crunches - Repeat 3 times
• Drink water...LOTS!! This flushes all the toxins from your body,
keeps you hydrated and also keeps you regular!!
Irritant contact dermatitis
• 10 Dips
• Eat lots of fresh fruit and vegetables especially green vegetables
DID YOU KNOW...
Contact dermatitis is an inflammation
caused by your skin reacting to a
substance it has come into contact with.
In hairdressing this could be shampoo
or chemicals and you may need a patch
test to identify the substance causing the
problem. A steroid cream will usually clear the rash. However,
avoiding contact by using gloves is the best prevention, especially
when hairdressing.
59% of employers report that training apprentices is more cost-effective
than hiring skilled staff
DID YOU KNOW...
Prevention
Step 1
Wear disposable non-latex gloves when rinsing,
shampooing and colouring.
Step 2
Dry your hands thoroughly with a soft cotton or paper
towel every time they get wet
Step 3
Moisturise after washing your hands, as well as at the
start and end of each day.
59% of employers believe that Apprenticeships lead to lower
overall training costs
Many things change within your body when you’re
pregnant your hair is just one of them.

How to maintain
your hair when pregnant
/
MATHS PUZZLE
Here is the science bit! The elevated levels of oestrogen that are present
during pregnancy essentially freeze your hair in the resting phase
(Catagen stage). Within a few months after delivery of the baby, the hair
then returns back to the usual cycle, with this you may notice a lot of
hair loss as for nine months the hair hasn’t gone through the shedding
phase (Telogen stage).
Try to fill in the missing numbers. Use the numbers
1 through to 9 to complete the equations.
• Each number is only used once.
• Each row is a math equation. Work from left to right.
There are tales of not being able to colour your hair when pregnant,
however after much research scientists have found that this is not true!
Whether you are pregnant or not you must take precautions before
you colour your hair. Always check the manufacturer’s instructions on
the product being used and follow their advice regarding skin testing.
Tests such as porosity, incompatibility and elasticity should all be carried
out as normal. As long as these precautions are followed there is no
reason why you can’t colour your hair during pregnancy.

EQUALITY AND DIVERSITY

Equality in the UK is about fostering and promoting the right to be
different, to be free from discrimination, and to have choice and
dignity and to be valued as an individual, with a right to their own

The word diverse means “varied and different” so ‘diversity’ is about
more than equality. It is about valuing variety and individual differences
and creating a culture, environment and practices which respect
and value differences for the benefit of society, organisations and
individuals. http://www.learning-work.co.uk
