Don’t Miss Your MoneyLINDA MARSHALLPROFESSIONAL HAIR DESIGNER

Design Essentials Creative Educator

Often as stylists and barbers we become content with just doing hair. But now, since

the recession, we have seen a reduction in clientele. We are getting second jobs to make ends meet, or just closing our doors. But let me give you a few tips to build your clientele and increase your tickets.

Let’s start with building and keeping your clientele:

First and foremost, treat people how you want to be treated. In other words, respect their time. Watch the way you speak to them (they pass tons of salon coming to you).

Secondly, start a referral program. For example, send five customers; receive a free shampoo and style. This will show you appreciate their help, plus it will give you five more customers to please. But remember also that

everyone isn’t meant to be you client.

Thirdly, stay on top of the latest trends. Attend educational classes and study hair and scalp issues. This will show you are a professional, not just chasing paper.

Now let’s look at ways to make more money:

You are the professional; do not allow your client to bring in products to you. This will help set your value.

Offer conditioning treatments, such as detoxifying treatments, hydration treatments, and exfoliation treatments. These services can add an extra $10 to $20.

Learn to foil for color applications. (It’s more professional) This will add to the price of color services and add value for the client.

Lashes and facial waxing are other services that provide a way of making extra money.

And most importantly, adding RETAIL products provides a means of earning extra income while providing client needs. Your clients want the same products you use. You can make money without doing a thing. Also, know

for sure what they’re using at home.

Commercial Hair is another way of adding to your tickets. But there is a lot of controversy about adding hair to our clients. Actually it’s not the weave that’s causing the problems; it’s the lack of knowledge in the application and removal of commercial hair. Additionally, scalp conditions can cause major problems for commercial hair. (Recommend that they see a Dermatologist). You are the professional. First perform an in depth consultation. Solicit a client’s comments regarding the services required for successful wearing and upkeep of commercial hair before going forward with any procedure.

As professional stylist we must get out and get the education needed to take us to the next level. Submit any color questions to [email protected]. Also, you can request to be informed of upcoming classes.

Story by: Teresa James

No topics are off limits within the walls of barbershops in Memphis. Anything that affects men’s daily lives will surface in the “shop” -- and everyone will put in their two cents.

That open dialogue inspired the Black Barbershop Health Outreach Program, a national effort that looks to turn the conversations toward health issues such as prostate cancer and guide men toward ways to prevent it.

“Nowadays, men open up more and talk to their barber – including female barbers,” said Stella Howard, co-owner of Ray & Stella’s Barber & Style Shop in Memphis. “They want feedback if they open up and talk. Women are more motherly so as female barbers we have to be attentive so men feel comfortable.”

Howard said she has had several clients who have had prostate surgery for cancer. “I made it a priority to get educated about prostate cancer, PSAs (screening) and other things men go through. I try to read and learn about things that affect men so I can talk to them. I can encourage them to go to the doctor.”

“I encourage women to learn about men and the things that can ail them,” she added. “Learn about prostate cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure and more so you can talk to them.”The Barbershop program was created by the Diabetic Amputation Prevention Foundation, a non-profit group. The program provides reading material and health screenings to barbershops on a number of health topics. To learn more about the Barbershop program, visit www.blackbarbershop.org.

Screenings can detect symptoms in individuals before they even know they have an illness. In Tennessee, roughly 642 African-American men are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year. In Shelby County, an average of 61 African-American men died each year of prostate cancer from 2003-2007.

Common prostate cancer screening tests include the digital rectal exam, and a blood test that detects a substance made by the prostate called prostate-specific antigen (PSA). The widespread use of screening and increased awareness means that more people with prostate cancer are finding out about it early enough to successfully treat the disease. As a result, the five-year survival rate of African-American men diagnosed with prostate cancer increased to 97.3 percent in the 1999-2006 period, the most recent years for which data is available.

Teresa Janes, Memphis correspondent for the Ozioma News Service, contributed to this story. About Ozioma: Ozioma is a national cancer news service based in Missouri. It is funded by the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, MD. Ozioma provides minority media outlets with information about cancer risks, treatment and prevention with a focus on taking action to improve health in African American communities.

TKofhotoneoseven

TK can be heard every weekday morning on Hot 107.1 from 6am-10am. She has been on the radio in Memphis since 1995. She has been with Hot 107.1 since 2002. She has worked for various stations across the city including K-97, News Radio 600, and ABC 24. TK is a Memphis native and the single parent of two beautiful children, 8 year old D.J..... and 13 year old Ty-J. When she is not on the air or broadcasting live from some event she spends the majority of her time with her children.

How are you wearing your hair?Well since this photo shoot I’ve dyed my hair black and its very long now. LOL! I change my hair a lot, that’s why people don’t recognize me a lot of times when I’m out.

Any fave hair products?Some of my favorite products are Perfect Results Sulfate Free Shampoo and I love Motions Oil Sheen Spray.

How do you maintain such great & healthy looking hair, with such a busy schedule?It can be challenging but I always manage to squeeze in time for a deep conditioner or hot oil treatment or something. Sometimes it’s 2:00 in the morning and I’ll jump up out the bed and do my hair because I usually can’t sleep if my hair is a mess.

Are there any looks that you want to try but have been afraid of the change?I have always wanted to try long micro braids but not only am I afraid of the look but I’m afraid of the chunk of time it would take out of my busy schedule. I can’t sit anywhere for longer than 2 hours without making some kind of

money! LOL!If you were to change your hair color what color would you rock?I would probably rock a Rihanna Red because it’s very bold and daring.

After your hair & makeup are on point, how do you finish pulling your look together?My shoes are my most prized possessions. My outfit is not well put together without the perfect pair of platforms.

What made you choose radio broadcasting as a profession?Actually I attended TSU with Broadcast Journalism as a major but my emphasis was in TV news reporting but after learning of their long work hours I knew I couldn’t make that kind of sacrifice where my kids were concerned. I’m very active in a lot of their in school activities and we are a very close knit little family, so I could not take that kind of time away from them. Radio affords me the kind of time I need to chaperon field trips and attend school programs...Radio hours are the best!!!

Do you see Memphis as a growing market for the hair and beauty industry?I think Memphis is definitely on the move. You can see that simply by all the $10 wrap or roller set salons popping up everywhere. You can see innovations being made with the different types of hair weaving techniques, even the lace

wigs haven taken the MID-south by storm. I see a lot of styles from back in the day coming back lol...I also see a lot of creativity with the use of hair weaves and bright colors. Colors that were once used primarily for hair shows are being rocked on an everyday basis and it’s kinda funny because I always wonder how some employers feel about the different hair colors in the workplace. I think Memphis is definitely doing its thing and keeping up with all the latest trends in the hair care industry.

Any tips for someone interested in becoming a radio personality?Get a good Liberal Arts education but most importantly take the time to develop your own personality. Often times you hear people trying to emulate their favorite personalities but having your own voice and your own personality is key in this field. tkofhotoneoseven...

Step1: For beginners you might want to give the hairline a good edge up.

Step 2: I prefer Personna razor blades, you can choose the razor of your choice.

Step 3: Apply a shaving cream or gel to the hairline. This will soften the hair follicle’s so that the hair follicles will cut easily.

Step 4: Apply a hot towel to the hairline or beard. This method will make the hair follicle stand up straight. This will make cutting easier.

Step 5: Begin with caution. Pull the skin tight so the razor can glide over the skin easier, also this will help with not nicking the skin.

Step 6: The more you keep this practice the better you will become.

DEMO RAZOR LINE

Keeping with why I started this magazine, as the editor I am determined to help as much as possible to give the South’s Finest recognition. I reached out to some of the small town shops to tell how they are making it and why not move to a larger city. Shop owner Jansen L. Pegues, of Pegues and Sons’ Style Shop in Holly Springs, MS. Has been manager of the family business for quite some time, but in 2005, with the passing of his father, ownership became a reality. With the help of his brother Juanathan (Shawn) Pegues, coworkers, family, friends and many customers, the legacy lives on.

Why do you think you became a barber? I became a barber by blood. My father was a barber for over forty years. I grew up watching him hone his skills and enhance his professionalism while enjoying his craft. I thought it was amazing to watch him as he took

pride in grooming his customers and becoming a part of their lives as well. My father was not only a barber but he was a teacher,

psychologist, counselor and minister as he stood by the chair. I graduated Grambling State University with a degree in Marketing and later on

attained a MBA from Union University. I have been

licensed since 1991. My passion for my craft has enabled me to stay in the industry and enjoy every minute of it.

What challenges do you have in

operating your business in the face of the current economic climate

and how have you coped? I have found that in the current economic climate that, just like everyone else, the costs of supplies and maintenance are increasing while customer salaries are decreasing. But as everyone knows you pay for quality service. So I have coped by

going above and beyond. By doing this I have been able to stay consistent and give my customers quality service at reasonable rates and make a profit.

Where did you attend barber school? I attended Foster’s Barber and Beauty College in Ripley, MS under the tutelage of Hazel Foster. I graduated from there in August 1991.

How do you feel about the growth of the industry (hair & beauty) for the area in which you reside? The hair industry in my area is growing rapidly. With a population of about 14,000 plus people in Holly Springs, MS, there are about two dozen barber and beauty shops. There is also a barber and beauty college. I think that the growth is great because it shows that the pioneers in this industry paved the way in order to make a good living and have a productive lifestyle in the community. Inspired by his father, Pegues & Son’s has been in business since 1962. Being from a small city like Holly Springs, the Barber is well respected as the pillar of the community.

TREND SETTER | SETTING THE BAR

GottitGirl Productions is a God given vision that has come to

pass for the empowerment of true beauty and modeling

opportunities in the fashion industry. It is designed for young,

aspiring models in our local community as well as surrounding

areas. A “GottitGirl” is confident, humble, smart, purpose-driven,

god-fearing, beautiful, loving, talented, articulate, focused, and

the list goes on and on. But what stands out the most is her

ability to love and believe in herself. GottitGirl Productions was

established in March of 2008 by Memphis native Kim Talbird. GGP

specializes in producing high-fashion productions, high-fashion

runway training, and professional model representation.

Kim Talbird was inspired by her own life as a model in the

business for over fourteen years, as well as a desire to end

the negative model image portrayed by misguided fashion

representatives over-exposing and exploiting models today. It

is our goal to project the proper model image by bringing out

the inner beauty and allowing that inner beauty to shine on the

outside. GGP believes that modeling is elegant, tasteful, stylish,

and artful and epitomizes being a lady at all times. Models

should know their worth and set standards to consistently show a

positive model image.

Currently, GottitGirl Productions is opening the doors of

opportunity for aspiring models (including men, women and

children) to network and work with talented high-fashion

designers in the fashion industry. Kim Talbird not only produces

fabulous fashion events, but is also known for her outstanding

training skills in high-fashion runway. Because of her character

and talents, models trained by Kim Talbird have been in high

demand for client bookings. GottitGirl Productions always

features our children, the GottitGirl Babies in every show

produced. The GottitGirl Babies range from ages 2 to 11yrs old.

Presently, GottitGirl Productions is representing approximately

50 models. GGP is always looking for new talent. If you are

interested in becoming a GottitGirl, GottitBaby, or a male model

representing GGP, and are between ages of 2 and 35, please mail

one headshot, one full body shot with your name, age, height,

and contact number on the back of each photo and someone

will contact you if interested. The benefits of becoming part of

GottitGirl Productions lies in receiving the “High-Fashion Runway

Training”, the “Networking Opportunity with the Fabulous Fashion

Productions” and the “Professional Model Representation”, all as

one inclusive package. When clients have seen your hard work

and skills acquired through training in the shows we produce,

your talents will be in demand. Pictures will not be returned.

I am honored to bring to you Demetrius McClinton. He has been a sponsor of DSFM for the last couple of issue’s. During the last issue of DSFM while we were shooting the Shave Demo I was able to chat with him and found out that within this industry most of our FINEST have many talents. But most of us are doing what is truly within our hearts. A native of Senatobia, MS he attended MS State University and Northwest Community College. He went on to Southern Institute of Cosmetology where he completed and received his barber license. Mr. McClintion started his career at Davis Barber and Beauty Salon in Coldwater, MS and in July of 2005, he opened Ebony Cuts and Styles located at 6341 Hwy 51 in Horn Lake, MS.

DSFM: Was becoming a barber your first professional choice? Demetrius M.: Becoming a barber was always a dream of mine but wasn’t actually my first professional choice. I first tried the corporate world but soon found that it wasn’t for me. I later realized that being a barber was what I was most passionate about and decided to follow my dream.

DSFM: Has advertising with DSFM been helpful to your business? Demetrius M.: Advertising with DSFM has been very helpful. I have had the opportunity to network with others who are also in the barber industry and also gained more clients.

DSFM: Being so close to Memphis, why did you choose to open your shop in Mississippi?Demetrius M.: I saw how the population was beginning to grow and knew that there was going to be a high demand for good barbers and stylists. So it was more of a good business decision versus anything else.

DSFM: Do you feel that the Mississippi area growth for this business is improving and what do you feel as professional’s in the business can or should be done to bring better education, hair & trade shows to the area? Demetrius M.: The growth in the Mississippi area for this business has improved greatly. Especially in DeSoto County where the area is growing really fast. As the population increases there becomes a bigger demand for good barbers and stylists. I feel that the biggest thing to improve education and bring more hair and trade shows to this area is that we all as hair professionals have to be willing to support those types of movements. We have to be willing to sacrifice a little time to help educate others and also make sure we are doing our part to help support those who are bringing the hair and trade shows to this area so that they will be successful.

DSFM: What inspired or encouraged you to become an entrepreneur? Demetrius M.: I feel that I have always been the go getter type. I have always wanted to have my own business since I was young. I think that having the opportunity to work in the corporate world and deal with all of the politics that go on really inspired me to go out and try to do my own thing.

DSFM: What makes you different from any other barber other than your gender being the difference? Demetrius M.: There are a lot of great barbers in this industry. They are all unique in their own way. I can’t say that I go harder than anyone else or that I cut better than others because I know a lot of barbers that work just as hard and cut just as well as I do. In the end, I think what makes me different is that I got my own style or way of doing things. I got my own brand or I am my own brand!

DSFM: What do you feel makes good customer service? Demetrius M.: Good customer service involves a number of things in this business. Being reliable and punctual are two very important things. Customers can really appreciate barbers who are on time and reliable. Also being friendly and respectful to those that you are around is also important. And last but not least you want to keep your clients well groomed.

DSFM: What products can you not live without in your business? Demetrius M.: One product that has been very useful to me is Skin Tight. It is very helpful in reducing and getting rid of ingrown hair bumps after shaving. It is a product that many of

my clients have grown to love.

DSFM: If you could choose to do something different would you and what would it be and why? Demetrius M.: I feel if I could choose

to do something different it would be more networking with others in this industry. I found that it is good to stay in contact with others who are in the same field as you I also learned that your network equals your net worth!

DSFM: What advice can you offer to anyone new to the business today that will help them grow their business? Demetrius M.: I would tell them to put God first and always stay humble. It may be hard starting out but stay dedicated and customer oriented. I would also let them know that you can never do too much advertising. Remember that the same thing you did to get your clients, you have to do to keep them.

Mr. McClintion is doing what he enjoys. Becoming a barber and making a living doing it.

THE HAPPENINGS

TROY MARTIN, Master Barber Basic facial after a shave (Clippers or Razor)

After shaving the client you must dust or vacuum loose hair away from the face area:

Take a small palm portion of facial skin cream make sure it contains menthol to help open the pores:

Apply the cream to the shaved area gently with the fingers slowly & lightly massage the cream onto the skin in a continuous upward/stroking movement:

Then you would curve your fingers & palms to conform to the shape under the jaw line, semi-locking fingers & begin a side to side movement performed with light/firm pressure for about 25 to 30 seconds:

Take your fingers & perform a upward deep

rubbing circular movement with pressure from the jaw line to the temple area for about 35 to 40 seconds:

With a damp hot towel from a towel warmer or hot sink water (wring excess water out) touch towel on the clients top lip area while asking them is the towel to hot, if so let cool then repeat steps:

Let towel cover mouth area then fold towel on each side completely covering the face be sure to leave an opening for the client nose so

that he can breathe:

Let towel stand till cool, take towel to remove facial cream then take a cool damp towel cover face to close the pores of the skin:

Now the final step is to take a cotton swab and dress it with some type of astringent or facial toner:

The Basic FacialThe basic facial, sometimes known as the scientific rest facial, is beneficial for cleansing & stimulating action on the skin that also strengthen muscle fiber & increases blood circulation. Oh, it’s also very relaxing. TROY’S MOTTO: “Staying Groomed Isn’t An Option, It’s A MUST”
