What possibly could Susan Boyle, the
recent protests in Iran and a wedding party
dancing down the aisle all have in common?
If you guessed they were watched by billions of people worldwide on YouTube, you
are correct. What this could possibly have in
common with your salon -- a lot more than
you might think!
We are all looking for cost effective ways

Why not use something completely free and
post the link to your Facebook, Twitter, blast
the link through e-mail, and embed into your
web pages?

Is social networking the new marketing
tool of this century?
We asked some of our friends on Facebook
(yes, even Stylist Newspapers has a page on Facebook) to make some suggestions on how social
networking can bring in new customers while
keeping current clients informed.
Sheila writes... “I like to keep my posts
positive and upbeat like, ‘I’m having the time
of my life with my customers at the salon’.
Also, I advertise daily specials on my page that
target stay-at-home moms, or specific local
business employees. It really works!”
Darryl says... “You have to be truthful,
and disclose everything. No one on Twitter
wants to hear that you are sleepy or that you
are sick. When you do Tweet, it should be for
a purpose.”
So how can you benefit from the new
world of online social networking? Read what
Gerard McAvey shares on page 5, the things
you should know about social networking
to maximize your interaction from student
to teacher, or technician to client. Don’t underestimate how far reaching and the diverse
opportunity social networking provides.
On page 6, Elizabeth Kraus emphasizes
that the key to social networking lies in the
word “social”. Using this media as a way to
further increase your web presence and letting
your clients and potential clients know more
about you will create opportunity for word-ofmouth marketing (always the most important
type of marketing) without being overt with
your message.
Salon owner, Marco Pelusi believes using
social media for marketing is way beyond a
necessity anymore. On page 10, he provides
some immediate action steps to leverage social
media and online tools to build your business.
Have you heard of YouTube? Video is going viral these days. If you are trying to build
or grow your business, video gives the unique
opportunity for prospective clients to feel they
are already part of your business. On page 3,
Charlene Abretske suggests you use your video
camera, get creative, post your video and you
will find you not only excite your team you
also propel your business upward.
Social media gives you access to clients
for little or no cost. Take advantage of these
opportunities, but don’t replace your other
marketing methods just yet. Use social networking as a way to enhance your business.
And why you are out there, don’t forget to

Cover Contest to be Held Monthly
We used our social network to decide on
another issue and here’s the result: We asked
what readers thought of using local beauty
pro’s photo shot submissions for the covers
of Stylist Newspapers on a monthly basis. In
the past 20 years it has been our policy to use
manufacturer’s professional models.
The results were overwhelming in favor of
local beauty pros gracing the covers. Since Stylist Newspapers is YOUR newspaper we decided
to give local beauty pros the opportunity to
submit artwork for our covers every month.
This will give our readers twelve times per
year to potentially see their work on our cover
instead of only once with our annual contest.
We will still choose the best photo submission monthly, they have to be professional and
of the high quality you have come to expect,
however, we know many of you are superb at
accomplishing that. You can submit as many
as you want and anytime you get that perfect
shot. For more information on what we are
looking for, deadlines for each month and how
to submit, email [email protected]
or check out www.stylistnewspapers.com.

theory and practice ideas for “going green” in your salon, spa and personal life.
“Sustainability is important to all of us,” said Frank Gironda, president of Cosmetologists Chicago, “In the area of professional and personal well being and commitment to the
environment, America’s Beauty Show is proud to continue our commitment to sustainability by bringing the Salon and Spa Sustainability Summit.”
A special keynote presentation from environmental philanthropist John Paul DeJoria of

Social Networking and the Evolution of Marketing
by Gerard McAvey, Executive Marketing Manager, Milady
A social network is a group or community
of people getting together that share a common interest. Individuals in the social network
of the beauty and wellness world are represented in such a diverse manner including, but
not limited to, gender, ethnicity, and age.
According to a report in March of 2009,
almost 45 percent of existing Facebook users
are women between the ages of 26-44 and are
among the fastest growing demographic on
Facebook.
In my experience, a lot of the hesitance in
taking the proverbial jump into the swimming pool of social networking is folks
lacking computer skills, as well as people
believing it’s impersonal. Let me answer the
initial objection first. Do you remember playing vinyl records or 8-tracks? Do you remember when the CD Player came out (costing
almost $1,000 I might add)?
CD Players made life easier and the
sound quality was better and it didn’t take
very long for people to figure out how to use
them. Now what….we have the iPod. Did
you ever imagine being able to upload thousands of your favorite songs onto a tiny little
device that only weighs a few ounces that
you can fit it into the palm of your hand….
seriously?
I know some of you are all for nostalgia
but let’s face facts that quality, efficiency, and
affordability at this point in time are crucial
factors in all of our buying patterns. Don’t
even get me started on DVD players, fax
machines, laptop computers, e-mail….and
the internet!
I could probably talk for days on this so if
you liked this piece I wrote, they may let me
write another one. Oh, I almost forgot – the
concern of being impersonal. Email, text
messaging, mass web updates, micro-blogging, etc. These aren’t necessarily methods
of people distancing themselves from one
another. If anything, these tools provide the
forum for people to bring themselves closer,
in a more routine and consistent manner. Focus on the fact that intention hasn’t changed,
the stories haven’t changed, the individuals
haven’t changed…..only the method of communicating has changed.
So how can you…the student, the teacher,
the school owner, the administrator, the technician, the salon/spa owner benefit from this
new world of online social networking and
maximize your interaction?
STUDENTS – communicate with your
fellow classmates about questions, ideas, suggestions you have from class and help each
other out; network with potential employers,
post your resume and showcase some of your
work via photos uploaded to your page.
TEACHERS – Use some of these sites
to remind existing students of homework assignments that are due or exams coming up;
get your students involved and photograph
the contests and/or activities at your school
and show the world how good they really are.
SCHOOL OWNERS/ADMINISTRATORS – share the strengths of your
school to post success stories, photos, distinguishing factors in your program to market
to potential students. These types of sites are
also the perfect way to keep in touch with
your alumni and potentially communicate
advanced academy programs.
TECHNICIANS – This is a fantastic
format to build your networking and client
base by sharing your expertise with folks in
your area (as well as across the country) via
social networking sites. As these sites become
more prominent, you may start seeing your
State Boards creating pages that you can access for information on licensing, continuing
education, etc.
SALON/SPA OWNERS – The possibilities are endless for you to utilize these
types of tools. You can start a referral program
and utilize these types of sites for that sole
purpose. You can also build up your database
of clients and continually market new and
special offers and promotions to increase
business and keep tabs on those that come
into your place of business... making each
and every one of them feel a little special by
having you, “just check in with them.” (Note:
School Owners can do the same thing).
So I hope you had as much fun reading this as I had writing it. Please complete
your due diligence when venturing into
the creation of any of these sites; although I
believe that the mere fact that some of them
have hundreds of millions of users should be
enough incentive to get you moving on this.
Facebook is the “giant elephant in the room,”
hence all the references; however Twitter is
right up there as a strong contender to reach
people and YouTube is a perfect site to share
videos and commercials with the world.
Five Things to Know and Mention
about Social Networking
1) Don’t underestimate the reach
of information — When updating these
websites, either personal or professional ones,
please assume that everyone can see what you
post….good and bad. If you wouldn’t write it
on a postcard, then don’t write it on these sites.
2) The Diverse Opportunity — One
of the greatest things about social networking
is that it doesn’t discriminate because all you
need is an internet connection. Everyone has
access to so many different types of people
from all different walks of life. These sites
provide forums for not only reaching out
to people in your immediate community
but it gives the opportunity for that student
living in rural Wyoming to interact with the
seasoned technician based out of New York
City…it’s fantastic!
3) Be Courteous — A colleague of mine
put it best when she stated that social networking is like going to a BBQ. Be friendly
with everyone, make introductions, don’t ask
personal questions right away, get to know
one another and build the relationship by
routine socializing.
4) Don’t place all your eggs in one
basket — Social networking can enhance
your school or business but it should be used
to “build on” other communication and marketing methods, not replace them. To be honest, it’s important to get your toes wet now
because before you know it, a 19 year old kid
from Georgia will have created an insanely
creative new website making Twitter out of
date….it’s how the evolution of technology
works.
5) Keep your money in your wallet
— Basic use of any of these sites is completely
free. My suggestion to you would be to reach
out to one of your prize students or have one
of your more tech-savvy technicians help you
out. I’m betting that they can have you set
up with a beautiful looking site in a matter of
hours guaranteeing at some point that it will
lead to at least one new client for your business or one student to your school. I don’t
know about you but I think it’s worth it.

Three Months
of Marketing
Elizabeth Kraus
Ding-dong! The doorbell rings while
you are making dinner and (reluctantly)
you answer, opening the door to a total
stranger who (you correctly assume) is
there to make a pitch.
Despite your repeated attempts to
(politely) say, “no, thank you,” the salesperson (trained to overcome your objections with
at least 99 different scripts) continues to
pressure, cajole, flatter and otherwise annoy
you until you either give in and buy a little
something or send them away with a firm
rejection.
How do you feel afterward? Would you
answer the door to this stranger again or
pretend not to be home? Would you seek
out the company that trained them in order
to make additional purchases, thanking them
for preparing the salesperson not to take no for
an answer? Or would you craft a less complimentary message for this company?
While, for the most part, traditional
marketing and advertising is comprised of
overt sales and brand messages and a call
to action, when it comes to social media
marketing, one of the keys to a successful
strategy lies in the first word: Social.
While you may include overt marketing
messages on your social marketing channels
once established, your primary goal in using this media should be to further increase
your web presence, letting customers and
prospects know more about who you are
(sharing your values, principles, expertise),
and creating opportunities for word-ofmouth marketing.
Using social media marketing channels
to facilitate a hard sell message is a turn-off
that will likely ensure that your sites receive
significantly less – not more – traffic.
Why? In social media marketing you are
inviting your customers and prospects to
engage with you on a more personal level.
You are asking them to trust you enough
for an introduction to their friends, family,
co-workers and neighbors. How personal
would you get with the salesperson at the
front door? Would you send them on to
your family and friends?
When it comes to social media marketing
for your salon, remember this is not just another marketing channel. Before you set up a
Facebook page for your salon or professional
services, set up a Facebook page for yourself. Add “Friends” and review their pages;
chances are you will find that they are on
Facebook primarily for social purposes and
engaged primarily in social conversations.
When it comes to your salon’s social
media marketing, use these channels in such
a way that it is welcome in the lives of your
readers. Craft messages that will be seen as
an organic part of the conversation found in
the “News Feed” on Facebook, rather than
blatant sales pitches. Use these sites as if
you were invited into the living room of the
reader for a visit; yes, you would talk about
your business, but you would not try to sell
them – well – anything.
One of the best aspects of social media
marketing is that there is little monetary
cost associated with its use; however, it
can become a costly endeavor in terms of
time, especially when this assignment is
one added to a long list in the life of a busy
salon professional.
Some guidebooks suggest that as much
as 25 percent of your working time should
be devoted to social media channels. While
the time you need to devote to this aspect
of marketing may vary, the point remains
that to be effective, it requires that time be
consistently invested in updating, blogging,
adding photos to demonstrate your work,
inviting people to events and providing follow up to questions and comments.
Like any other campaign, your social
media marketing cannot thrive without
being nurtured. If time is at a premium for
you, if you have never ventured onto the
internet or if the idea of setting up a Facebook page or Twittering makes you break
into a cold sweat, don’t despair! Social
media sites have created interfaces that can
– literally – be managed by even a computer
novice.
If you are still reluctant to do it yourself, you can readily find a high school student in your family or among your clientele
aspiring to a future in the salon industry or
marketing who would be thrilled to work
for you for a couple hours each week either
to set up and manage your social marketing
channels on an on-going basis, or to train
you to take over. You may find that once
you begin to experiment with these social
sites, it’s easy to become addicted to the
real conversations that are occurring every
day on the “virtual” world.
And remember, as you wade deeper in to
viral marketing waters, use these channels to
create more “customer love” by sharing stories about your salon or staff that you would
want to share in your client’s living room,
and that they will want to pass on to others.

Marketing Options for Esthetics
Esthetic Endeavors
Judith Culp
In the past, marketing of esthetics was
done with flyers, brochures and carefully
selecting the media you would use.
But then your choice of media was newspapers, billboards, television, radio, telephone
directories and press releases.
Now everything is more complex. Some of
the old standbys don’t work as well and some
of them never worked.
Yellow pages – these used to work great
and were the staple of our industry. Now we
have multiple phone books distributed in each
town which makes the decision of who to go
with more difficult or the cost of advertising
exorbitant. Ask your clients where they learned
about you.
There are some who say they never use
phone books as the internet has significantly
changed how people seek information. More
and more people are turning online to find
business information. They can choose a
yellow page search, merchant connection,
city search, web search or many others. Each
of these has costs related so plan carefully as
to which will give you the best return. It is
a quagmire we will all wade through and is
going to take continued monitoring to find
what works for each type of business. We can
no longer find one and stick with it, constant
monitoring is the new norm.
Television – a good alternative depending
on how many stations are in your area. The
cost per viewing and client demographics will
help make this decision. Do they all watch
different stations? Can we afford to advertise
on all of the different stations? Television can
work but it must be planned and budgeted
carefully.
Radio – there are even more radio stations
than television stations. In several polls that I
have done I could not find a commonality in
the channel preferred. If they are all listening
to different stations or have opted for other
audio sources, then reaching the “potential”
client this way could be much trickier. If we
are dealing with a very specific target group
– say college-age girls for hair removal, now
we may have a narrower range of radio stations
that focus on this demographic.
Golf or bus stop bench advertising
– Don’t laugh. They sell these routinely. It
will depend on your budget if you want to give
this a try, but it wasn’t a success story for me.
Likewise some people do advertising on busses, cabs or other vehicles that have high visibility due to their driving patterns. Consider
the cost per day as well as the cost per exposure
to determine if this is in your budget.
YouTube – has become an interesting
marketing approach. You can find people
demonstrating all sorts of different services as
well as manufacturer’s using this method to
distribute information. How protected is your
submission? Can it be confiscated or used by
unauthorized persons? Does it drive clients
back to you as opposed to others in the area?
How many local people will find it, and how? I
think it has great promise, but I think we need
to do our research to effectively use it.
The most important part of marketing is a
thorough knowledge of our client base. Who
are they and what are their demographics?
How do they get information and how do they
prefer to be reached? While this always was
important, it is even more critical today. If you
don’t know your customer base you will waste
time, money and lots of effort to no avail. The
teen and college age client uses text messaging
as their preferred mode of communication.
This makes them a perfect market for Tweeting or text-mails.
Those on a tight schedule may not have
access to their text phones on a full time basis.
The best way to approach this group may be
emails rather than tweeting. The message will
be there when they have access to it. They may
also love e-newsletters, e-cards and e-specials.
As we get into a more maturing group of
clients, they tend to be less comfortable with
tweeting or email contact. They may use their
blackberry but they are not as comfortable
with incoming information. The older the
client’s age bracket, the more they may prefer
a reminder phone call or to receive a printed
newsletter, in lieu of a text or an email. The
problem with this is the cost factors. It was
startling to realize that this year 70 percent of
our business holiday cards from suppliers and
manufacturers were transmitted via email.
So the more clearly the esthetician has
their target market defined the easier it will
be to allocate time and efforts into reaching
potential clients. It is important to ask clients
about their preferred contact method and what
methods they read or just delete/ toss. This
will help those very valuable marketing dollars
be the most effective.
There is no one marketing method that
will make everyone happy. With internet contacts, it is important to have the client update
us when they change carriers just as in the past
it was important to know when they moved.
It’s all about staying updated and continually
innovating in a changing market place.

OHIO STYLIST & SALON | FEBRUARY 2010 | Effective Social Networking
The Nail Extension
Vicki Peters
I think back to all requests to be “friends”
in Facebook I did not respond to because I
thought it was just another teenage fad.
Then I figured out I needed my own
page. I still resisted for a while and then
did my own Facebook page; not that I ever
looked at it again, but I knew it was there.
I still didn’t get it. Along with this tweet
thing, ah just another thing I need to stay on
top of, who has time? Finally I gave into that
too now that Ellen has made it such a big deal.
I’m trying not to end up like some of
my friends that are out of the loop, don’t get
emails on their phones and refuse to get involved. Once I got involved I started to tweet
daily and check my Facebook page often. I
know I have to stay on top of what’s going
on, and Facebook and Twitter are where it is
happening.
You can follow national news, local news
and sports as well as keeping up with your
friends or promoting your business. Facebook
and Twitter, among others are becoming an
every day thing.
The increase of people using Twitter
to get the word out about their companies,
jumped more that 250 percent since the
spring of 2009, according to a study done
by Palo Alto Networks, a maker of firewall
technology. The number of companies using
Facebook for tasks grew by 192 percent. The
report said everyone is using social networks
as a promotional vehicle for their businesses.
Maisie Dunbar, one of the industry’s savviest and well known nail techs, and owner
of her own salon, Maisie Dunbar Spa Lounge
in Silver Springs, Maryland uses Facebook to
promote special events and services at her Spa
with messages to her clients like this one:
SPA DAY FOR MEN ONLY
Come and enjoy a men ONLY night
out Jan. 9, 2010 5 p.m. - 8p.m.
That’s right, we’re taking care of our men.
Spa services include: 1/2 hour Massage for
$35 (valued at $56), Foot Detox for $30
(valued at $65), Sugar Butter Manicure/
Pedicure for $40 (valued at $90), and any
Waxing Treatment for $15 (...valued at $20
and up). 10% off any retail product.
CALL & BOOK YOUR
RESERVATION TODAY.
301.585.4770.
Dunbar also follows up with posting
photos about the events on her Facebook
page to make it even more interesting. Her
posts and twits draw you right in and the
next thing you know you’re on her Facebook
page booking an appointment.
According to Maisie she uses social networking not only for business, but for hiring
It’s a lot easier to use social networking then telling each customer about
the special when they come in.
as well. She has seen a two percent increase
in business, which may not be much, but
considering the economy right now, that’s
pretty remarkable. She uses Facebook more
than Twitter, however she does post specials
on both. She also networks with other professionals like her, and local businesses. She
uses them as a tool to get the word out about
what ever she is doing in the spa community,
as well as for mentoring and announcing her
class schedule.
One of the biggest holes in our marketing
plan is that we don’t have enough resources
or time to effectively market our business so
this is one of the tools we can use. We can
send press releases to the trades and local
newspapers, write a time-consuming newsletter that our clients won’t read anyway or do
something short and sweet like tweet them
about an upcoming special service.
We already have their contact information and email address, so that makes it a
smart choice. It’s a lot easier to use social
networking then telling each customer about
the special when they come in. They walk
in already knowing about the special so that
should make it an easy sell.
The nice thing about tweeting is it is
short, fast and easy information. Just take
the NSS salons. Most clients like the walkin service, the fact they don’t have to get
to know the manicurist and they can have
non-committal appointments. Tweeting is
the same: informational, short and with no
commitment to respond.
Although Facebook is a little more of
a commitment, it can provide you with a
website if you don’t have one where you can
easily post photos, salon specials or photos
of your vacations, which we all know our
clients want to hear all about.
And the best part of this fast pace social
networking is it’s free!

National Teen Dating Awareness Month
by Richard Cordray, Ohio Attorney General
It is common to regard domestic violence
as something that happens between adults
who are married. But more accurately it is
a potential problem for anyone in a dating
relationship—and increasingly that includes
teens.
Spreading awareness of this problem is
the goal of National Teen Dating Awareness
Month, which is recognized in February.
Ohio is beginning to come to grips with
the problem of teen dating violence: recently,
the state legislature, with my support, enacted
legislation that will require schools to teach
teens about dating violence. That’s a good
first step, but it is still important that adults
find ways to reach out to teens who might be
in trouble.
It is hard to say exactly how widespread
teen dating violence is, although it appears to
affect many teens. The National Teen Dating
Abuse hotline – www.LoveIsRespect.org
– has gathered some statistics:
• One in five teens who have been in
a serious relationship reported being hit,
slapped or pushed by a partner;
• One in three girls who have been in
a serious relationship said they have been
concerned about being physically hurt by
their partner;
• One in four teens who have been in
a serious relationship say their boyfriend or
girlfriend has tried to prevent them from
spending time with friends or family.
With this many teens potentially affected,
you very well might come across someone in
this situation either at work or at home who
needs help.
Recognizing the signs of abuse in teen relationships can be challenging, in part because
teens might not realize they are being abused.
For instance, teens are among the heaviest users of text messaging, and abusers may try to
control their victim through texts. Constant
phone calls or 24/7 text messages like “Where
are you?” and “You better IM me back or
else” could be signs of controlling behavior
and emotional abuse.
Teens, just like adults, might show
changes in mood or appearance that could be
the sign of abuse, or they might dress inappropriately for the weather in order to cover
up signs of violence.
Ask questions about what’s going on in
the lives of the teens you care about. Listen to
the answers with an open mind: Teens can be
wary of adults overreacting and denying them
access to their social network and friends. Be
open-minded and let them speak freely, and
when they do ask for help, be there for them
without being judgmental. Remind them that
although relationships can be difficult, love is
not abuse.
Teens can get help from the National
Teen Dating Abuse Helpline, which can be
reached at (866) 331-9474. They also have
trained Peer Advocates available to chat online with teens from 5 p.m. to 3 a.m., again at
www.LoveIsRespect.org.
As always, we encourage you to learn
about how you can help all the victims of
domestic violence by attending a Cut It Out
training, which are held across the state. If
you would like to schedule or attend a training, please call my office at (800) 582-2877
or visit www.OhioAttorneyGeneral.gov/

WHAT’S NEW IN THE MARKET
1. Advanced Technology Meets Value
1
JKS International is adding another value to the beauty industry with a one-inch professional
100% advanced ceramic flat iron for less than forty-dollars. The JKS Ceramic Iron features 100% solid
ceramic plates with adjustable temperature control up to 450-degree F. The body style is easy and convenient for hand-operation and the 360-degree swivel cord with hang up loop will never tangle.
Whatever you envision for your canvas, you can achieve it with JKS International: cream colors
and developers, bleaching powder, shampoos, conditioners, styling and finishing products. From start
to finish, JKS International products keep hair restored with supercharged anti-oxidants in vitamin
enriched formulas. For information call 1-877-JKSUSA2 or visit jksusapro.com 2
2. Forever Natural Polytech for Natural Nails
Through advancements in technology comes the next generation of nail care products, polytechs.
Polytechs are thinly brushed over the natural nail, and then cured under a UV light. They offer the
natural nail unmatched strength, while remaining flexible and completely natural feeling. Women that
could never grow their own nails will now be able to. Women who apply nail polish only to see it chip
in a few days will now be able to wear nail polish two to three times longer. The results look and feel
similar to any natural manicure but provide unparalleled adhesion and durability.
Forever Natural is the first brand being launched in the Polytech category. Forever Natural represents an entire new category of nail care. Results are instant and clients will be willingly to pay extra for
this new service. However, with the cost at just under a dollar per application, manicurists can add huge
value to their manicures without raising prices. And if one takes into account the need to eliminate base
coats and ridge fillers, actual costs are only pennies more per application.
Forever Natural is available through The Industry Source, 800.362.6245 or theindustrysource.com.

3. Graham Beauty Answers the Call for Safer Beauty
Graham Beauty is introducing SalonFit® Free Vinyl Gloves to stay in step with requests for options for safer vinyl gloves. Prompted by regulations found in California’s Proposition 65 pertaining to
levels of harmful phthalates found in products, including vinyl gloves, Graham Beauty is launching a
new vinyl glove that is manufactured without the use of those harmful phthalates.
Through extensive investigation, Graham Beauty found that while DEHP is the most commonly
known phthalate, there are other derivatives also known to be harmful such as DIDP. According to
Graham Beauty Marketing Manager, Dan Hnilicka, many glove suppliers may not be aware of, or
recognize, these other derivatives.
“It’s important for consumers to question a claim such as “phthalate-free” or “DEHP-free,” said
Hnilicka. “Products with such claims may still contain a phthalate derivative like DIDP.”
“SalonFit Free Vinyl Gloves are a safe, high-quality alternative to regular vinyl gloves,” said
Hnilicka. For more information about SalonFit Free Vinyl Gloves visit www.grahambeauty.com.
4. Wax Uses Nourishing Blend of Natural Ingredients
Rica Wax does not rely on resin as a base material. The superior waxes use a patented vegetable oil base
that works together with glyceryl rosinate for just the right balance of removal of more hair with less pain.
The range of waxes includes Rica’s original water soluable jar wax, a 100 percent natural wax that
has excellent grip and leaves a clean finish with no sticky residue. The wax contains natural ingredients
such as lemon juice and sugar with hypoallergenic properties that actively reduce redness.
Rica’s premier fruit waxes, include such flavors as Banana, Coconut and Strawberry Liposoluble
Wax for all skin types and Orange, Lemon and Green Apple for sensitive skin. White Chocolate and
Olive Oil Waxes are available for dry skin as well as is an Almond, Azulene, Milk and Aloe Vera for
sensitive skin along with Titanium, Honey and Clorophyll for all skin types.
The use of vegetable oils in Rica waxes provide a nourishing, moisturizing effect on the skin;
titanium dioxide creates a creamy texture and the inclusion of natural plant extracts and essential oils
provide restorative and aromatic affects. For more information on Rica products call 404/459-7058 or visit www.ricagroup.com.
5. Ultimate Flattop Comb for Barbers and Stylists
The flattop is a classic mans haircut that is still worn by many men and servicemen but very difficult to execute quickly and efficiently without the proper instrument. “The Original” Tablehead
Flattop Comb is a balanced, comfortable, easily visible comb that slides smoothly through any type or
texture of hair to give a perfectly clean and sharp flattop requiring very few repeated steps.
The Tablehead Flattop Comb is a full 9 inches long with a comfortable, ergonomic handle. It’s
versatile design is perfect for any type of level cutting needs and it is great for beard trims too.
Once you try this comb not only will it make doing flattops simple and quick, but, you will soon
discover it can be used for many other styling applications as well. For more information visit www.
tablehead.com or call (530) 282-0740
