#checkyourbreasts
PLEASE WATCH Unfortunately it seems everyone has had a family member or friend touched by breast cancer. Cancer Australia estimates that there will be 19,535 new cases of breast cancer diagnosed in 2019; 19,371 women and 164 men. They also suggest it will be the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia in 2019.

Once you try Black you won’t go Back….

Colourists were sceptical at first, however once in their hands it was an instant hit and hairdressers realised how convenient this foil was to use.

A Business Idea from Sandy Chong
This story was on a Facebook post in the AHC by Sandy Chong to a lady that had just opened a salon and was really flat about how to get clients into her business. I wanted to share this as I think this bit of advice you could share with your clients and Sandy has proven that it worked….. Hi Cheryl. Congratulations on opening your salon. I had a little look at your website and your salon is certainly lovely. I opened a 2nd salon years ago in Paddington, Sydney. ( I note you are in Paddington Bris) I bought the salon from a very established business and as I refused to pay cash in hand … [Read more]

Glide Meche Sheets are a lightweight alternative to foil for your colouring needs. Used alone or in conjunction with other colouring tools, Glide Meche is a must try! Meche sheets are very pliable and easy to work with, allowing the flexibility to achieve many different results. Not only are they light weight and easy to use, they are also re-usable!
