It’s as much as us to pay attention rigorously, perceive our purchasers wants and needs after which to translate this into a method which is particularly designed and tailor-made to their way of life and private wants.” We have now invited Emiliano to go to with us and reply a number of questions on salons, hairdressers and hair types. Under are his insightful solutions:
Query: Men and ladies spend 1000’s of {dollars} yearly going to salons and caring for his or her hair. But most individuals report that they’re lower than glad with the outcomes. If you learn a few of the salon opinions on the market one can find those who just like the look of their minimize/colour/perm however are very sad with the service. Some describe salons with smug, impolite or thoughtless hairdressers and workers. Why is E Salon completely different on this respect? How do you tackle complaints from purchasers?
Emiliano: To begin with, hairdressers are a mirrored image of their chief. You do not have impolite or smug group members–you have impolite and smug homeowners. Hairdressers globally, really Humanity globally wakes up each morning and desires to offer their greatest. Then they get to work and are impolite solely as a result of they aren’t appreciated or lack self value. It’s the responsibility of each chief to dedicate themselves to their group and to encourage their group to cooperate in a spirit of concord.
The one purpose we’re profitable is as a result of I dedicate myself to my group. I made a promise a very long time in the past that when considered one of my group members go away, they are going to go away a greater human being and a greater hairdresser. It’s straightforward accountable our group members for making errors and for not being adequate. However I can guarantee that if we ALL, together with OWNERS, realized that the individual trying again at us within the mirror was accountable for the state of our life, then this industry, not to mention this world, could be a larger place.
I practice my individuals to see themselves as actually nice human beings, and by doing this they are going to see greatness in everybody else. I promise to offer them a unprecedented life and that’s what my objective is. My group members are probably the most nice and memorable individuals I do know.
At E Salon we deal with the Human Being, not the hair. We encourage and welcome any suggestions. Complaints are a chance to point out the world what sort of human being you might be. Many hairdressers take a criticism like a private assault on them. As a pacesetter it’s our duty to coach our individuals correctly and nurture them and their spirit.
I’m sorry; there are not any impolite and smug hairdressers—just incapable leaders. All the time see the human being and provides your greatest in evey second in each scenario. What you give is what you get—it is that straightforward.
Query: If you first meet with a shopper that desires a brand new hair fashion, what’s your mode of operation?

What do not you want about your hair?’ I attempt to discover out as a lot historical past as attainable, together with something he/she has each been sad and pleased with. Subsequent I wish to really feel the hair to find out its thickness and texture. Then I search for any unusually growth patterns. Lastly, and most necessary, I take a look at face form, bone construction and the purchasers general fashion. I focus in on suitability and I attempt to improve the strengths they might have, i.e. eyes, lips cheekbones, and so on. Pattern photographs of hair types the purchasers like are additionally very useful in letting me know what my purchasers like.
Query: As a salon proprietor, how necessary is it to maintain abreast of present hair and trend developments?
Emiliano: It’s crucial that we keep abreast of what’s occurring on the earth of hairdressing. Although it’s extra necessary to know who you might be in relation to trend. In at this time’s world each designer and hairdresser is doing his or her personal factor. We should discover what we establish with by way of trend, and with that preliminary inspiration, make that evolve into one thing that’s uniquely ours.
It’s so necessary to be a pacesetter not a follower and to be true to your self. Within the state of reality it is possible for you to to faucet right into a common supply of what’s trend anyway. That could be a purely surreal expertise whenever you provide you with an unique concept, and understand that others have had the identical concept, very cool.
Query: Loads of hairdressers goal to please and provides their purchasers the hair minimize that they need. For instance—a shopper brings in a photograph of a hair fashion he/she actually likes and desires to get the identical look. Do you ever inform a shopper that —NO that hair fashion or colour is not going to give you the results you want?
Emiliano: Completely! If I really feel a hair fashion would not swimsuit a shopper, I cannot hesitate to let him/her know the way I really feel. That’s the reason my purchasers pay me $110 a minimize. Having mentioned that, I need to additionally contradict myself by saying, hair is concerning the individual sporting it, not the hairdresser.
By realizing who you might be and believing in your self, you appeal to purchasers who like what you do. Therefore you’ll very hardly ever have shopper in your chair that does not like what you do.
Query: What salon merchandise do you utilize and the way importat are they to creating workable hair types?
Emiliano: We use L’Oreal styling merchandise. My favorites are; Gloss Wax, Liss Management and Pure Gloss Spray within the Techni.artwork vary, Smoothing Serum within the Texturline vary by Artic (L’Oreal) and Kiwi Blow serum within the Kiwi vary.
With out merchandise, I do not imagine we might actually be capable of produce the outcomes we’re on the lookout for.
Query: It is one factor to come back out of the salon trying fabulous. It is fairly one other creating the look by yourself at house. Do you supply styling recommendation and coaching in your purchasers?
Emiliano: I supply the right recommendation on which merchandise to make use of and methods to use them to attain outcomes.
Query: What can we anticipate for hair fashion developments for the Fall 2004? What would be the fashionable colours, lengths, types?
Emiliano: From me, you’ll be able to anticipate quick crowns with longer lengths, creating seamless layers and transition from quick to lengthy. I’m nonetheless working with asymmetry and disconnected lengths. Fringes are nonetheless very popular. I like something Rock Stylish trying. I attempt to make my fashions and purchasers appear like Rock stars.
Colours are extra a method factor slightly than precise colours, although I’m working rather a lot with mahogany and nut browns. Highlights are bolder but they’re peeping by way of the hair, not on the highest of the hair. I’ve been working with this method for a few years, simply various the position of colour. At this very second we’re working with main distinction in colour.
Query: The place do hair fashion developments begin anyway?
Emiliano: I imagine hair developments don’t begin, they evolve. They’re positively began by the hairdresser slightly than the shopper. For instance, let us take a look at the previous season. Hair developments have a really sixties and eighties affect. Now that positively did not begin just lately, although it advanced from that interval and was tailored to at this time.
I’ll attempt to begin my very own developments. In the meanwhile I’m working with my GARAGE Assortment within the salon and my L’Oreal tour. The gathering options extraordinarily quick crowns, various lengths, with asymmetry and disconnection. Traits are impressed by one thing. They are often impressed by a film, a music, a painting—with inspiration something goes. You need to belief your instincts. Vogue is what you LOVE. LOVE IS FASHION
Query: On a world scale, do you see a pattern of how new hair fashion fashions evolve?
Emiliano: Personally the leisure industry evokes me. I really feel Hollywood has a serious affect on setting developments. European hairdressers, particularly the English are nice translators of this. To take the mantle as pattern setter, you positively must earn it.
I do know many hairdressers look to trend and the designer’s new collections for inspiration. You recognize that something goes, and it’s normally began by some kid on a avenue nook who has minimize their very own hair, and it has caught the attention of some prime stylist, designer and even director.
Vogue is what you make it and who you might be in context to that trend.

They’re fast and straightforward remedies and make such a right away change within the hair. My favourite right here is the Shine Blonde remedy that may be a toner in addition to a remedy. Outcomes are superior!
Query: Do you may have exhausting and quick hair care recommendation that applies to everybody?
Emiliano: Use little or no conditioner. Apply it first to mid-lengths and the ends, then comb it by way of the remainder of the hair. When making use of mousse, apply it slowly and with a comb, little by little. All the time end with a gloss spray for shine.
Query: There’s a examine that claims one in two ladies colour their hair. Loads of ladies do it themselves. What sort of colour merchandise do you utilize and why would you recomment that ladies go to E Salon for colour processing?
Emiliano: We completely use L’Oreal Skilled merchandise. We advocate that purchasers come to us for colour as a result of we’re educated professionals. COLOR TO HAIR ACTS LIKE PAINT TO A SKETCH, IT GIVES IT LIFE! The explanation I really feel that one in two ladies colour their hair at house is our personal fault. We have to spend extra money on coaching our individuals and take duty ourselves. We are likely to blame the businesses for making and promoting hair colour merchandise within the supermarkets. If we have been doing our jobs appropriately, the businesses would not must promote in pharmacies and supermarkets.
Query: Lastly, what are your suggestions for somebody looking for a brand new hairdresser or salon?
Emiliano: Go in for a blow dry and take discover of all of the work happening round you. Search for somebody who places love into his or her work. The are a uncommon breed and whenever you discover them, cherish them. You’ll discover they stroke the hair, such as you would pat a cat. They put their coronary heart and soul into their work they usually take a look at what they’re doing and the way in which the hair falls. The most effective hairdressers will ask about you, not discuss themselves. All the time decide the stylist in a salon with the worst haircut. The most effective hairdressers minimize everybody elses’ hair.
I are likely to get plenty of purchasers by individuals asking my purchasers on the road who cuts their hair. Do not be afraid to ask plenty of questions and herald photos. If you discover a glad and content material group of hairdressers, you might be positive your cash goes to somebody who’s making a distinction within the lives of their purchasers.
