The Scrummiest Eco-Salon in Town! Scrummi sits at the heart of the UK’s greenest salon Since 1971, Élan Hair Design has been renowned

for providing expert hair cutting and styling services

to the residents of Inverurie, Aberdeenshire, as well

as gaining industry wide recognition for its creative

hairdressing abilities. Fast forward to 2012, and

the salon has now hit the headlines and won

national awards for entirely different reasons.

As part of its latest refurbishment, owner Lorna

Milton was looking for more eco-friendly, energy

efficient and cost saving ideas. The decision to

switch to energy saving lighting then spawned an eco-revolution that saw her convert every aspect of the salon in a

determined effort to make Élan the most environmentally sustainable hairdressing business in the UK. And integral

in this quest to trail-blaze the UK hairdressing industry and show what could be achieved when it comes to going

green, was a decision to switch to Scrummi!

Lorna picks up the story: “It all started when we thought about using LED lights in

the salon, as these use much less energy than traditional lighting. Then we

realised we could go a whole lot further and before we knew it, we’d

incorporated green initiatives into every aspect of the refurbishment – from

ceramic flooring made from 40% reconstituted material and carbon zero

furniture to disposable towels, right down to combs; all the resources we use are

the greenest we can find.”

In addition to furniture, flooring and lighting, the salon looked at all its practices

to see how far they could take things. This included the conversion to solar

energy, switching to Scrummi and even embarking on a plan to send waste hair

to local farms for composting, and recycling waste. Now Élan even derives an

income from selling unused energy back to the power company!

Integral to the project is Élan’s new waste management scheme, which has seen them team up with a local

recycling company that turns food and garden waste into BSI accredited compost. As part of this initiative, used

Scrummi’s, which are 100% recyclable and biodegradable, are collected for composting to spread on local fields –

along with all food and organic waste and their clients’ hair!

As a result of its commitment to becoming the industry’s most eco-friendly salon, Élan now boasts the longest list of

green credentials of any salon in the UK. It has also been shortlisted in the prestigious Business Green Awards

2012 for both the Green Building Project of the Year and Small Business of the Year awards. Now the project is

complete, Élan’s next goal is working towards its ISO 14001 accreditation. This is awarded to companies that have

put systems in place to measure and control their environmental impact, plus it will help environmentally conscious

customers make an informed choice about how their chosen hairdressing salon affects the environment.

The Multi-Dimensional Eco-Revolution!

Saving energy and becoming more environmentally responsible were they key drivers behind Élan’s green project,

but as Lorna says, the changes make perfect business

sense too. “The motivation was to become greener

but if salons go in our direction it has a dramatic

impact on business efficiency. In particular, the switch

to Scrummi has not only fitted in perfectly with our

green objectives, we have virtually eliminated the use

of energy, water and detergents wasted on

maintaining cotton towels, as well as saving staff time.

This has contributed to falling utility bills, reduced

waste and an increase in our ability to recycle and

biodegrade all our waste and consumables.”

But it’s not just the environmental and economic advantages that have converted Élan to the Scrummi Revolution.

“Clients have responded positively to Scrummi and love the hygiene benefits of receiving a clean, fresh towel that has

never been used on anyone else. Plus as part of our sustainable aims, they’re always thrilled to learn it’s going to be

recycled and put to good use along with their cut hair!””

Rob Cooper, managing director of Scrummi, explained that Scrummi has welcomed the chance to be a part of this

groundbreaking development in the hairdressing industry: “Élan is now arguably the most eco-sustainable salon in

the UK and we love the fact that Scrummi is a vital part of this,” he says. “We know that our towels are being

responsibly disposed of and turned into high-quality compost, which meets the requirements of the British Standards

Institute (BSI). In line with Scrummi’s green credentials we know that our products will continue to be useful long

after the end of their life cycle as a salon towel. As a brand that’s committed to taking good care of the planet, this is

a great achievement!”

With Élan leading the way in revolutionising the way the hair industry works in relation to environmental issues,

Scrummi hopes that more businesses across the country – large and small – will be keen to follow in their

footsteps. To find out more about how Scrummi can help your business why not visit www.Scrummi.com or call

Scrummi Heralds a Savings Revolution! Saving Salons £10k, freeing them from the tyranny of washing and drying towels and saving the planet

Switch to scrummi and you could save your salon a not so small fortune....that’s the message from Scrummi convert Artizan Hair who has calculated annual savings of almost £10,000! And to think, you could save all that and do a range of positive things to save the planet! Scrummi does a whole lot of good...and that’s a fact. The white waffley texture and silky black super eco-friendly towels are revolutionizing the salon community. As our revolutionaries take our message across the nation, salons are freeing themselves from the daily grind of washing and drying towels; and as they’re 100% natural, recyclable and biodegradable, they’re saving water, reducing energy consumption and eliminating the costs of running, servicing and replacing equipment used to maintain a stock of cotton towels. Now, Bath based salon Artizan has analysed the total savings made by making one simple business decision...switching from cotton towels to Scrummi. In addition to the environmental benefits, Artizan owner Phil

Thompson saw the opportunity to counter the effects of the recession and calculate the total economic benefit to his two Bath based salons. And the results were something of a revelation! “We looked at all the effects of changing to Scrummi, as I felt it would make business sense as well as helping us improve our environmental performance,” says Phil. “We nailed down all the costs incurred by staying with cotton and compared that to Scrummi and I was amazed at how tremendous the savings were.” Not to flatter the figures, Phil was determined to get a true picture and did not over-estimate the figures to convince himself that going Scrummi was a given; “I wanted to get a real comparison so we were conservative in our cost calculations as I wanted to prove to myself that there were savings to be made, so we took the lowest cost impacts incurred by staying with cotton and the maximum number of Scrummi towels we would need to service our clients.” What Phil found convinced him to make the switch, and a year on Scrummi has saved Artizan almost £10,000! “It is quite staggering,” says Phil. “I wouldn’t have believed the savings would be so big but we’re very happy. That money can be used in more positive ways to benefit our business and clients so we’re definitely staying Scrummi!” See Phil’s calculations below and ask yourself this...”Is now the time to take a look at Scrummi?”

Paul Mitchell embraces the Scrummi revolution for salon success! Salon Success gives eco-option to clients as it drives sustainability Salon Success, Master Distributor of Paul Mitchell in Europe has selected Scrummi as the brand of choice as it reinforces its environmentally caring approach. As part of its drive towards sustainability and environmental responsibility, the group is offering Scrummi to its customers as it delivers more choice to its salon as they look to improve environmental performance and reduce costs. As Scrummi’s sole UK distributor, Salon Success sees the switch to eco-friendly single-use towels as key to working towards a more environmentally sustainable industry by reducing negative impacts and CO2 without compromising the client experience. Salon Success’s Marketing Manager Sara Ali explains why they chose Scrummi: “Scrummi is on our wavelength. Our business is about helping hairdressers and we feel Scrummi has their best interests at heart too. They are also good people to deal with, which makes business better for everyone.” In terms of product, Sara explained that with Scrummi, they could offer an alternative to cotton without compromising on the towel experience; “A main reason for choosing Scrummi was the waffle design on the white towel. Single use towels can take away from the luxuriousness of a service if they are not promoted correctly and we feel the waffle design adds a little luxury back in.” Now as part of the Salon Success portfolio, which includes Paul Mitchell and 3•6•5 Education, Scrummi is used in their education to introduce them to salons and the response has been really positive. “Some of our key customers are hooked and swapped over immediately and the response has been positive,” continues Sara. “It’s all about the right fit for the salon and offering choice.” Scrummi’s Rob Cooper had this to say: “Scrummi is delighted to be a part of 3•6•5 Salon Success and its aim to highlight more environmentally beneficial products that help salons recycle, reduce waste and save money. We share many values and look forward to a long partnership with 3•6•5 Salon Success and their network of salons.” For more information and to join the Scrummi revolution, request a free sample pack at www.scrummi.com by emailing [email protected] or by calling 01634 821609 For further information on Salon Success and its brand portfolio, please visit www.salon-success.co.uk

Innovation Technology - Rollerball F Breaks New Ground in the Salon

Globally renowned for bringing innovative

technologies to the world of hairdressing, Takara

Belmont broke new ground when it was the first

company in the world to introduce infrared

technology to salons with the internationally

successful Rollerball processor.

This groundbreaking technology revolutionised

treatments and colour to position Takara Belmont

as an innovator in hair care, as well as a globally

renowned furniture brand. With its unique infrared

rotating ring, colour, perm and treatment services

were transformed. Colour penetration improved

beyond expectation to deliver greater strength, depth and colour intensity, as well

as reducing the processing time. This meant more clients could be serviced thus

bringing commercial values to add-value to the client experience, improve results

and increase revenue.

Treatments benefited from more even distribution

and improved absorption into hair and perm strength

and curl definition were improved with longer lasting results. Now, thanks to another world first,

Rollerball delivers even greater speed and efficiency to further revolutionise salon services!

Rollerball F – a world’s first and an icon of the future!

Takara Belmont’s Rollerball concept has taken a giant evolutionary step with the introduction of the

new generation Rollerball processor – Rollerball F. With a futuristic restyling and an industry first –

the application of a NEW Carbon element – this new processing icon sets a new benchmark in

salon technology that is sure to seal its place as a hairdressing icon of the future.

New Rollerball F is slim, lightweight and elegant in profile and brings new possibilities in hair

design. As a more sophisticated, restyled successor to the Rollerball, several enhancements in

performance are offered that build on the international success of a product first introduced over

20 years ago. The ceramic element has been replaced by high purity carbon [99.8%] that until

now, has been very difficult the manufacture. Takara Belmont has skilfully integrated this technology into the Rollerball F to

further enhance power and speed to deliver noticeably improved outcomes and efficiency.

Expanding the Possibilities for Hair Design

Rollerball F is the essential infrared processor for

the effective processing of colours, perms and

other treatments. With its signature dome with

rotating ring, Rollerball F is a powerful tool that

expands the future of hair design. With speed

and power, colours and chemical treatments

penetrate deeper and faster whilst caring most

delicately for the hair – this delivers enhanced

results that last. And in keeping with the desires

of modern salons, it now boasts new styling and

a collection of 9 vibrant colours to grace any

salon space.

Simplicity, Beauty and elegance

The beauty about Rollerball F is also defined by the way Takara

Belmont delivers leading-edge technology in a simple to use way.

Designed for better performance, Rollerball F is a synch for

anyone to master – a perfect coming together of modern ingenuity

perfectly engineered for the salon professional.

Flawless – Reinventing the Art of Shampooing Macadamia Natural Oil brings new innovation to herald a new era in hair care!

The shampooing ritual has changed very little over the years. Just wet the hair, apply a shampoo and massage into the hair and scalp to remove dirt and debris, then repeat and condition to restore moisture back into the hair. However, even after this process, many shampoos can still leave the hair feeling stripped and dry, so other products are necessary to deliver more intensive conditioning and leave the hair in optimum shape. This can be a time consuming, multi-layered process that involves the application of several products and many rounds of rinsing. Great if you have the time and space!

Of course, the introduction of Macadamia Natural Oil has addressed this by infusing a blend of Macadamia and Argan oils into the heart of its hair care and styling collection, whilst ensuring the formulations are free of ingredients that cause damage and irritation; such as sulphates and Parabens. Their combined power has transformed the condition of hair, but what if this process could be revolutionised and the art of shampooing reinvented?

Now, the innovators at Macadamia Natural Oil have revealed a new discovery that makes the laborious, time consuming tradition of shampooing a thing of the past. Looking to the future, Macadamia presents a reinvention of the norm, a revolutionary one-step system that cleanses, conditions and refines the hair. Without the use of surfactants, such as harsh sulphates it brings a brand new cleansing and conditioning experience and heralds the dawn of a new era in hair care. We call it simply, Flawless!

Delivering a totally new concept and hair care ritual, Flawless gently performs its miraculous task with a no-suds formula, removing dirt and debris as it conditions each hair with its exclusive blend of Macadamia oil, Argan oil and botanicals. The result is clean, refined hair, ready for prepping and styling. Plus, as an added bonus, Flawless dramatically reduces blow-drying time to save even more time, as it protects hair from prolonged heat exposure.

Using Flawless couldn’t be easier. Just lightly emulsify 1 to 2 pumps in between hands, apply to wet hair and gently massage spreading Flawless over hair and scalp area. Continuously massage throughout the hair for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on hair type. Add a splash of water to assist in the spreading if needed and rinse thoroughly.

The result: beautifully clean and conditioned hair that oozes health and shine with a no-fuss, surfactant free cleanse that nourishes, protects and shines.

For hairdressers, new Flawless adds to the interest in Macadamia Natural Oil as it continues to bring new inspiring innovations to your stylists and clients. Their imagination is ignited, their desire for something new stimulated. Great for use in a professional salon setting and for retail, Flawless gives a completely new and exciting concept both in terms of use in the salon and at home.

Here’s how Flawless benefits the hair. • All-in-one Cleansing and conditioning System for total performance and convenience • Refines Hair Texture • Optimises Styling Process • Drastically Cuts Down Blow Drying Time • Perfect For All Hair Types • Surfactant-free and Paraben-free • No Stripping Suds

Quick Tip: After using Flawless, we recommend Macadamia’s Healing Oil Treatment to further infuse nourishment, prevent frizz and provide UV protection.

The unique therapeutic and phyto-aromatic expertise of Yon-Ka has resulted in yet another scientific breakthrough in the treatment of ageing skin –Advanced Optimizer crème & serum duo and the Advanced Optimizer treatment protocol, which features the exclusive use of Yon-Ka’s Collagen mask. With over 55 years of research dedicated to the creation of holistic, results orientated treatments, products and remedies for the skin, the synergy between the natural and aromatic world of Yon-Ka and the most advanced scientific expertise is reflected in its signature; ‘The alchemy of pure wellness’. Advanced Optimizer continues to live up to Yon-Ka’s promise and exceed the expectations of consumers as it is CLINICALLY PROVEN to diminish fines lines and wrinkles, re-densify skin and produce a younger, smoother looking complexion.

A CLINICALLY PROVEN SCIENTIFIC BREAKTHOUGH IN THE FIGHT AGAINST AGEING Advanced Optimizer has been vigorously researched both clinically and scientifically and these studies prove conclusively that the product delivers the results it promises. In clinical studies conducted over 4 consecutive weeks on 20 women aged 33-65 with sagging skin problems, the following statistical and clinical conclusions were reached:

• A significant improvement in the firmness, tone and density parameters of the skin • A significant improvement in the sharpness of facial contours

Additionally, vitro tests proved Advanced Optimizer’s firming effects as Hibiscus Peptides act to stimulate the production of Collagen and GAGS (Glycosaminoglycans) for a visibly smoother and firmer skin. Most notably, Yon-Ka commissioned an ex vivo test which compared skin treated with Advanced Optimizer to skin without treatment on skin tissue in a laboratory setting. This analysis PROVES that thanks to the alchemy of Yon-ka’s unique formula combined with Lupine Peptides, the skin’s collagen is actively redensified and the effects of ageing, sagging skin are effectively combated.
