 editor’s note
CULTURE CLUB
as they celebrate one other. “When someone writes a positive
note about another team member, that sticky note is left on the
board for a month, allowing everyone to read the message,” said
Harrison. “At the end of the month, we hold a raffle and draw one
note. The person who receives the accolade gets a prize, as does
the person who wrote it, which ensures the team participation
remains high and the team supports it.”

4. Salon Nuuvo’s culture also makes learning fun. For example,

product knowledge classes became a team-building exercise
when Harrison created a life-size game resembling Candy Land in
the salon, featuring lollipops, colored ribbons, candy and balloons.
“The questions were focused on product knowledge and the
customer experience, which helped the team learn about the
features and benefits of our products, in addition to our customer
service values,” said Harrison, who also added feel-good prompts

WHILE SERVICE COSTS AND RETAILING are important factors

in running a salon, culture likewise plays a pivotal role and can
make or break a business. “Company culture is the unspoken,
unexplainable presence allowing employees to deliver luxury
services as a united front through consistency while creating a
‘good vibes only’ feel in the salon,” founder and Artistic Director
Raychel Harrison told me during my recent visit to Salon Nuuvo,
her beauty hotspot in Agoura Hills, CA. “Culture is the heart of our
business, and it all starts with who we hire,” she said. “It’s about
finding like-minded people.”

To that end, once Harrison finds staff, she goes above and
beyond, creating a work environment where culture is king—one
that ensures her team feels valued and fulfilled. Here are some of
the practices she’s put into play:
1. Every monthly meeting includes an activity that brings the
Salon Nuuvo team together. “Sometimes, we take the meeting
away from the salon and move to a different location like the
local beach, which makes for a fun and relaxed environment,”
Harrison said.
2. Last summer, Harrison closed Salon Nuuvo on a Monday for
Nuuvo Ditch Day. “We let our hair down, had a beach potluck
and gave out T-shirts that said, ‘Don’t Be a Dirty Beach,’ and
conducted a beach clean-up for the first 30 minutes of the day,”
she said. Team members and their friends won prizes from local
businesses valued at more than $250 and collectively picked
up 55-plus pounds of trash. “Having time away from the salon
allowed us to get to know each other on a personal level while
doing something positive for our community,” she said.
like, ‘Tell the person on your left what you love about them.’
“Everyone learned so much as the questions were being answered
aloud,” Harrison said.
Shortly before our visit came to a close, Harrison shared one
more important thought with me. “A salon culture is the only
genuinely unique identifier,” she said. “It’s like a fingerprint—it may
be similar to others, but it is uniquely distinct for each business,
directly impacting the customer experience. Everything else can be
replicated, but the only truly unique identifiers are the values and
norms of our organization—its culture, or personality. A strong team
culture can differentiate a salon from its competitors and take the
customer experience to the next level.” Sage words, indeed.

3. As a surprise for her team, Harrison converted a spare salon

room into a team lounge overnight, incorporating dim lights,
aromatherapy misters, adult coloring books and interactive goal-
setting charts so employees have a place to recharge and relax
in-between client visits. One of the walls acts as an inspirational
appreciation station, which allows team members to harmonize

■ THINK TANK ■ All in the Family at Rizzieri Salon & Spa ■ TEAR SHEETS

NY, for a shoot with American Crew Global Artistic

Director Paul Wilson. It was familiar territory for the
American Crew founder, who’d shot there previously with
American Salon in 1994. “Back then, I was on location in
New York City launching American Crew,” says Raccuglia.
“I was the hairdresser—the barber doing the hair.”
Flash-forward 25 years later and Raccuglia now
finds himself behind the lens, capturing emblematic
images that have helped propel the American Crew
brand skyward. “Paul, the team and I wanted to kick
off Crew’s 25th anniversary and celebrate Fiber’s
newest additions [Fiber Grooming Foam and Fiber
Cream] by going back out in the streets and doing
what came naturally to us—shooting urban men in their
environment,” says Raccuglia. “For this shoot, the hair
looks for the guys are a little bit longer and more natural
looking. There’s a bit of a ’90s vibe to them. When Crew
launched, hair was very classic, still had a lot of product
in it and looked vintage-inspired, but it wasn’t as shorn
as these barbershop looks have become over the years.
What we’re doing is reintroducing some of the vision we
had for hair back then. I was always very inspired by ’90s
Armani. I still think that there is nothing more masculine
and relevant than what Giorgio Armani did then, and I’m
sensing that’s going to have some relevance again.”
To get the hair just right for the shoot, Wilson
created an exaggerated pomp on our cover model. He
used a clipper-over-comb method to establish the sides
and back, and freehand clipper work to create the taper.
“The entire top was overdirected to maintain maximum
length,” says Wilson. To achieve the sustained elevation,
the detail work on top was applied aggressively with
sawtooth razor-cutting. A heavy dose of Fiber Grooming
Foam was worked into damp hair before it was blow-
dried up and back. For the finishing touches, Wilson
called on Boost Powder and Boost Cream.
After getting all his shots, Raccuglia took time to
reflect on the day. “This shoot made me realize that
my photography skill-set has been very good for Crew
because it’s not a photographer looking through the
camera and trying to capture a great men’s picture—it’s
a barber looking through the camera,” says Raccuglia.
“That was a great moment for me—merging what I did
25 years ago with the expertise I’ve acquired over that
same time frame.”—Kelley Donahue

says LaFleur. “As I traveled the world and saw
the creations, environments and cultures other
artists got to work in, it made me realize what
was missing in the nation’s fourth-largest city.
Atelier Isabelle Rose fills that void. In addition to
showering Houstonians with first-class service,
it also serves as a hotbed of creativity for its
resident artists.”

Named in honor of LaFleur’s only

niece, Isabelle Rose, whose mother, Rachel,
convinced LaFleur to go to beauty school, the
3,800-square-foot space is located in Houston’s
Upper Kirby district, which is nestled between
the prestigious River Oaks neighborhood and
Rice University. “I chose the location because
it’s one of the fastest-growing, trendiest and
most luxurious areas of Houston,” says LaFleur,
who serves as a master color expert, master
stylist and portfolio brand educator for Wella
Professionals as well as the Atelier’s artistic
director and founder.

Design-wise, LaFleur wanted to create a

simple, chic space that underscored elegance yet
still had a relaxed feel. High-end touches include
carbon-reducing LED lighting above styling
stations and inset into mirrors that allow for
perfect color placement; Takara Belmont styling
chairs with Tempur-Pedic seating; Gamma &
Bross shampoo bowls, styling stations, pedicure

the shampoo area featuring silver wave granite.
“Our goal was to create exclusive experiences
for our guests with our styling stations, luxurious
shampoo suites, color bar and private nail suite,”
says LaFleur.

TOOL OF THE TRADIIES
NIKKI DOMINGUEZ, A NEW YORK CITY-BASED HAIRSTYLIST,
and her sister April, who is in tech solutions, don't come across as
natural business partners. But when Nikki was venting frustrations
about hiring for a salon, and her sister suggested using LinkedIn,
Nikki explained a site like that didn't work for beauty pros, which
begged the question: Why not? Enter Tradiies, a networking
platform created specifically for the beauty industry. Individuals
can create profiles, which encompass education, awards and past
salon employers, and chart growth from beauty school student to
professional. “A Tradiies portfolio is not a social media profile with
a gallery of work—it shows an entire career,” April says.
Tradiies also allows pros to describe their personality and
culture, and has a section for endorsements. “Yelp is for business
owners only, and social media is not a professional setting to
give recommendations,” April says. “Tradiies encourages the
salon owner to give
an acknowledgment,
like, ‘She is excellent
at balayage and
consulting and
customer service.’
It also allows
individuals to give
acknowledgments
April and Nikki Dominguez
to their colleagues
or educators, like, ‘They really inspired me in the growth of my
career, and I'm more passionate because of it.’”
Likewise, salons are able to create business profiles where
they can post jobs. “This allows beauty pros to see the salon’s
team members, the products they carry, the location, the hours
and what they’re looking for in an employee, plus photos to get
an idea of the work environment,” Nikki says. A beauty pro’s
profile is sent to the salon like a digital resume, including a
portfolio of work, acknowledgments and skill sets. “Our goal is to
get the entire salon industry to start acknowledging each other,
recognizing each other and uplifting each other through the app,”
she adds. tradiies.com—KH

SPRING INTO ACTION
THE SPRING SEASON
IS AN OPPORTUNITY
to clean out closets,
straighten up the yard
and do typical spring-
cleaning exercises. Why
not follow that lead in
your salon? John Harms,
Millennium Systems
International founder
and CEO, shares how
salons can “clean up”
software and realign
inventory.
P Inventory Count: So many businesses allow inventory
to get out of whack or have never done a full count.
Use your software’s inventory count feature to organize
by manufacturer. Then you can utilize features like
“automatic purchase order” and put slow-moving
products on sale.
P Model Quantities and Order Points: Check your settings
for the model quantity (full stock) and order points (flag
that let’s you know it’s time to reorder). You don’t want
to under-order, but old inventory or too much inventory is
like locking money in a drawer.
P Client Outreach: Get in touch with clients who haven’t
been in for over 120 days. Come up with a spring
promotion, like offering a free product or a discounted
service.
P Goal-Setting: If you haven’t set your employees’ goals
in your software, take the time to do so. Most software
have abilities to set monthly goals and some can translate
down to daily goals. This motivates your employees and
lets them know how they’re doing.
P Rebook Percentage: Analyze your rebook percentage and
set a daily goal. It’s the key to increased frequency of visit.
Don’t ask the client for an appointment date—utilize your
software to know which openings make sense and offer
those. If your software provides chairside checkout or
mobile rebook capabilities, let the service provider book
an appointment before the client reaches the front desk.
P Use Help: Most software companies offer documentation
and free educational videos on best practices. Spend time
looking into them and bring back nuggets of information
to your next team huddle. millenniumsi.com—KH

didn’t want a ‘fun’ pastel; he wanted an aged, vintage pastel,
like a grown-up pastel with a shadow root, which helps hair
from looking like a wig while keeping it modern,” Wood says.

 EMBELLISHED CLEAR MANICURES are having a moment, and you
can expect the trend to continue into spring. Take a cue from the glass-
inspired nails the CND Design Team created at Mary Katrantzou’s Spring
2019 runway show. Manicures were clean and polished, but far from boring,
ranging from avant-garde glass-blown nail bubble encasements to silver
halo nails (seen here), a clear nail embellished with two silver half frames.

LIKE THE FLOWERS THAT BLOOM, nail polish collections will be popping up in pastel shades this time of the
year. “In the winter we go for heavier coverage with opaques and glitters, but in spring we lighten it up with
sheers, pastels and glosses,” says Essie celebrity manicurist Michelle Saunders (@michellesaundersjames).
“This year’s collections offer a dose of fun, are high-gloss or have a subtle sheen that pops in the sun.” Try a
different color on each nail to create a rainbow of possibilities, tip each nail like a colorful French manicure, or
sponge a few colors onto the nail to give a soft texture to the manicure, Saunders suggests.

Eunkyung Park recently took on a new project: nail jewelry. Named Unistella
Jewelry after her Seoul salon and Instagram account @nail_unistella (”uni” for
“unique” and “stella,” the Latin word for “star”), the creations are crafted from
sterling silver-plated white and 14k gold, and several come with the option to add
a Swarovski crystal gem. “I’ve always been interested in futuristic nails,” Park says.
“I looked back and thought about the things I’ve struggled with while doing nail
art and tried to approach the essential parts of it in a more wearable way. That’s
how the nail jewelry came to life.” The jewelry, which ranges in price from $25 to
around $135, is the perfect add-on to any manicure, easily dressing it up, if only
for the day. unistella.com

WARMING TREND
AS THE DAYS GROW LONGER, hair is heating up, with rich reds, auburns
and vibrant copper hues taking center stage. Right on cue, Revlon
Professional has unveiled its Redvolution color collection, created with the
new Color Sublime by Revlonissimo, a permanent ammonia-free haircolor
range that can be mixed with enticing fragrances. Here’s how Miquel
García Cotado, a member of the Revlon Professional Artistic Team, got the
crimson look seen here:

1. Apply Revlonissimo Colorsmetique 66.60 to the roots and on top

for depth, making sure the color application on the top root is
uneven for a more interesting result.
2. In the fringe area, create a diagonal flashlight effect by mixing
Revlonissimo Colorsmetique 77.40 with Cromatics C46.
3. For enhancement, apply Revlonissimo Colorsmetique 55.20 to the
left corner of the fringe, using transparent papers for a clean
and precise application. Blend all shades thoroughly to avoid
bands or stains.
4. Apply Revlonissimo Colorsmetique 66.60 to the remaining hair.
5. Once the hair has processed, cleanse it with Revlonissimo
Post Color Shampoo before treating it with Revlonissimo Anti
Porosity Milk.
6. To finish, apply Style Masters Lissaver to wet hair, then blow-
dry and style, keeping strands flat in some sections while
creating volume in others, before misting the design with
Style Masters Shine Glamourama Spray and Modular Hairspray.

CUT THE TENSION

WHEN IT COMES TO CUTTING, skill can only get you so far—stylists

should also keep in mind the maintenance that goes into shears. “In
order to ensure that your shears are performing at their best, you
really should do two things every day—clean them and adjust the
tension,” says Andrew Carruthers, education director for Sam Villa.
With today’s blade designs, a little more tension is better
than too loose, Carruthers notes. Setting tension too low can cause
hair to fold or push out of the shear, while setting it too high can
shorten the life of the edge. What’s more, extra pressure is needed
to open and close the shear, which contributes to repetitive stress
injuries. “The tension should be perfectly even from the pivot to
tips. If you can’t achieve that with adjustments, it could be that
you’ve been working with improper tension for too long and your
shears need to be professionally serviced,” says Carruthers.
To set the tension, clean and lubricate the shears. With
shears fairly loose (one or two clicks of tension screw back), hold
the thumb grip and take the finger portion about 45 degrees
up to where blades connect. Then drop the finger side. If it
goes down, it’s too loose—turn adjuster to the right one click
to tighten. Repeat this exercise until the open finger section is
dropped and doesn’t move.—KH

A
fter spending a good part of her childhood watching her
grandmother work at a hair salon, Brendnetta Ashley
(@edgypynkgirl) knew she was destined for the beauty
industry and chased her dreams until she landed her
first job as a stylist at The Salon by InStyle Inside JCPenney. Now,
Ashley is one of six national artistic educators for the brand, but
she’s not losing sight of where she started.—Michelle McKelvey

AHA MOMENT
I grew up watching my grandmother do hair, and I loved how
BRENDNETTA she was always uplifting her clients and making them feel

TRAINING DAYS
I love finishing and styling, and I took some advanced courses
on those techniques with [updo artist and educator] Sharon
Blain to master my craft.

CLAIM TO FAME
Presenting at Premiere Orlando on The Salon by InStyle stage
was a huge moment for me. And, of course, being named a
national artistic educator with The Salon by InStyle.

MARKS A MAJOR
MILESTONE WITH NEW
ADDITIONS TO ITS
FIBER FAMILY AND AN
ICONIC COLLECTION
THAT REDEFINES THE
CLASSIC MAN.

Mr. Mister
American Crew has plenty of reasons to celebrate this year. In addition to commemorating its 25th anniversary, the
company’s successful Fiber brand has grown to include two new products: Fiber Cream and Fiber Grooming Foam.
What’s more, founder David Raccuglia recently teamed up with Global Artistic Director Paul Wilson to create a
new body of work—seen exclusively on these pages—that’s diverse, strong, stylish and innovative. “We are in an
awesome time in the evolution of men’s hair,” says Wilson. “We’ve seen barbering become an art form, and men
are reaping the benefits. This collection gives us the opportunity to showcase the American Crew perspective on
how trend meets classic using Fiber Grooming Foam and Fiber Cream as well as classic Fiber. They’re the perfect
tools to tell the story of how groomed finishes and natural textures work in unison.”

Fiber Cream to damp hair, then

For this classic pompadour with

clipper-over-comb and moderate
freehand clipper work on the
bottom half transitions to the
overdirection on top to create
a natural disconnection. After
applying Fiber Grooming Foam
on damp hair, shaping it with a
blow-dryer and brushing it for
height, he used classic Fiber over
the surface for added texture.
 “This familiar classic pomp look
has a liberal amount of detail
work to create movement and a
sustainable shape,” says Wilson,
who shear-cut the sides and
back with vertical sections. After
horizontally connecting and
overdirecting the top for the
perfect balance of length retention
and weight removal, Wilson used a
razor to directionally build support.
He then worked Fiber Grooming
Foam throughout damp hair
before styling it with Fiber Cream.
 To achieve this look, which
was inspired by the boxer

razor-cut vertical sections
through the sides and

a heavy dose of Fiber on
damp hair before loosely
pushing it into place.

MICHELLE ROONEY AND STEWART CRAIG CAPTIVATES
WITH DRAMATIC HUES AND ENTRANCING MAKEUP.

When creating their Aurora collection, seen here, Michelle Rooney and Stewart Craig, who hail from Hooker & Young—five
luxe salons in Newcastle and North East England—relied heavily on texture to allow light to pass through the hair. “We
played with color formations to create luminosity and shade in strands that resembled the shimmer and sparkle in the sun,”
says the duo, whose artistry earned them a finalist spot in the North Eastern Hairdresser of the Year category at the British
Hairdressing Awards 2018. “Overall, the looks are beautiful but mysterious—they personify what it means to be an enigma.”

HERITAGE
BRAND
“
T
hey always say the third generation
ruins the business, so I’m trying
to work through that stereotype,”
Frank Rizzieri jokes. In fact, since taking over
the beauty business his grandfather, Franco
Cipriotti, began in 1924, he has expanded it
enormously. Franco came to the U.S. from
Italy and owned a farm in Pennsylvania
before opening a barbering school. He saw
that women’s hairdressing was about to
take off, so he opened a cosmetology school
in Philadelphia called Maison de Paris. His
business thrived, and even survived the Great
Depression—“actually, he said it was the most
money he’d ever made because women still
got their hair done,” Frank says. In the late
’30s, the cosmetology school moved to
New Jersey, the first in the state. Frank’s
mother, Anna, taught there, and it’s where
she met her husband, Sal Rizzieri—he
emigrated from Italy in 1959 and attended
the cosmetology school.
Joining the family business was
nonnegotiable, despite teenage dreams of
becoming a fighter pilot, but Frank grew
to the love the industry. “When I got my
head around being a hairdresser, I told my
dad, I want to do more,” he says. “We had
to come to an agreement—I was going to
build something different, or I was going to
leave. I took the opportunity to diversify the
business, develop products, brand it, and
open in New York and Florida. We took it
from salons to schools to medical spas.
I’m looking into distribution and expanding
the medical spa, and I’m getting closer to
having salon owner employees who will be
my partners.”
44 americansalon.com March 2019
FRANK RIZZIERI,
A THIRD-GENERATION SALON OWNER,
TELLS HIS FAMILY STORY AND WHERE IT’S HEADED.
Today, the business has five-plus
locations between salon/spas and schools,
and Frank still works alongside his parents—
Sal hops between different salons, and Anna
teaches finger waving at the school and signs
the checks. The family’s strong values is the
secret to the salon’s longevity, Frank says.
“Sometimes when new generations take over,
they have a different work ethic or attitude
from the core principles the business was
founded on,” Frank says. “My core principles
are the same: work really hard, treat people
well and give back.” Those tenets also checked
the boxes to become an Aveda Concept Salon.
“I remember sitting with [Aveda founder]
Horst [Rechelbacher] in his house in Wisconsin
in a snowstorm and showing him the plans
for the new business,” Frank says. “It’s been a
25-plus-year relationship, and counting.” After
all, the Rizzieris know a thing or two about
long-term relationships.—Kristen Heinzinger
