What sets OPI apart is not only it’s meticulously designed nail lacquers and witty and iconic shade names, but also its ongoing product innovation and commitment to professional-quality, long-lasting products formulated to promote sustainable practices in salons . Read more about two recent innovations to product lines OPI Infinite Shine and OPI GelColor and be dazzled! Both product lines are 100% vegan, cruelty-free, and made exclusively with naturally derived ingredients. New Infinite Shine 3-Step System Locks like gel, unlocks like lacquer. OPI’s Infinite Shine improved formula is best described in three words: pre-cured gel technology . Pre-cured gel technology creates a film of colour made up of strong polymer chains that lock onto the nail’s surface like a gel polish without needing to be cured with an LED light. It forms a tough shield for stun stoppable durability and up to 11 days of glossy, smooth, and gel-like, long wear. Infinite Shine easily unlocks for speedy, damage-free removal with regular remover.   This new innovation combines everything to love about gel – long-wear, durability, gel-like look, and unbeatable shine – with everything to love about lacquer – quick and easy application, quick removal, less damage. New Infinite Shine shades are intensely pigmented yet stain-resistant if used as a 3-step system, also chip-resistant and scratch resistant. The beloved pro-wide brush hugs the nails for even, smooth coverage providing a flawless finish. Perfect for retail or professional use!   New Gel-like Base Coat grips the nail to create a perfect foundation for colour while the Gel-like Top Coat creates a gel-like plumping effect, mimicking gel nail polish, locking in colour and adding intense shine with extra protection. It’s so good, you won’t believe it’s not gel!   New shade bottles packaging features black deco vs silver. In addition, Gel-like Base Coat now features a white bottle wrap and Gel-like Top Coat features a black bottle wrap.   PRO TIP Drying time is 1-2 minutes. Waiting 2 minutes between each coat will result in no colour transfer on the topcoat brush. Add ProSpa Nail & Cuticle Oil after 2-3 minutes. The full service will take only 15 minutes. The Genius of OPI’s Gelcolor Intelli-Gel System™ for professional use only Self-Corrects. Stays Put. Brilliant. After years in the making, 25 formulations, and hundreds of brushes tested, OPI is proud to introduce the new and improved OPI GelColor Intelli-Gel System™. It’s the smartest gel polish ever. No more streaky brushstrokes, cuticle flooding, and re-work. Made with a responsive gel molecule network, OPI GelColor adapts to your every move. High viscosity ensures the formula stays put for expert precision. Gentle pressure with the new Intelli-Brush™ allows the formula to thin for smooth, flood-proof application. Release pressure and the formula reforms, self-correcting every stroke. The groundbreaking Intelli-Brush™ design was optimised to work with the new Intelli-Gel formula making it the brush of all brushes. It has fewer bristles, and a rounded edge allows it to get in tight to the cuticle and cover the entire nail with precision in just one stroke. The stem design has an innovative channel for more controlled product pick-up and flow, and the stem slowly flows product onto bristles while you paint, for faster, easier application.   Additional innovation includes more pigment in every shade for a richer, more saturated cover in just 2 coats. The dense viscosity allows for razor sharp precision nail art gel with every stroke, making every stroke a master stroke!   PRO TIP Cure each OPI GelColor Super Base Base Coat, OPI GelColor colour coat, and OPI GelColor Super Gloss Top Coat for 30-seconds in an OPI Star Light Gel Lamp for maximum wear and durable shine of up to 3 weeks.   How to order OPI for your salon If you are an existing mhb client, please place your order with your mhb sales consultant.

NEW NATIONAL MINIMUM WAGE FROM 1 MARCH 2025   The Minister of Employment and Labour has by Notice (No. R 5830) in the Government Gazette (No. 52053 dated 4 February 2025) amended the National Minimum Wage from R27.58 per hour to R28.79 per hour , with effect from 1 March 2025 . The amounts applicable to Learners have also been amended.   NMW - GG 52053- 4-02-2025.pdf   The Wage Schedules  (Annexure H of the Main Collective Agreement) are being revised and will be posted on the Council’s website.   The minimum wage and learnership allowances prescribed by the National Minimum Wage Commission are adhered to as a basis for the calculation of the prescribed minimum wages in the Wage Schedules. However, it must be noted that the employer portion of the Pension Fund contribution is also factored into the calculations. This results in the amount under the hourly rate or weekly rate in the Wage Schedules being less than the amount of the NMW, in some instances. However, the hourly rate calculation plus the value of the employer portion of the Pension Fund contribution cannot be less than the NMW prescribed by the NMW Commission. The inclusion of the Employer’s portion of Pension Fund contributions is guided by the findings of the Labour Appeal Court in Quantum Foods (Pty) Ltd v Commissioner H Jacobs N.O. and Others (2024) 45 ILJ 71 (LAC) (18 October 2023)     SERVICES SETA: MANDATORY GRANTS: APPLICATIONS   The Services SETA (SSETA) has published a notice advising that the window for submission of applications for the Mandatory Grants refunds  is open from 1 February to 30 April 2025.   The notice provides other useful information regarding assistance offered by SSETA including face-to-face and virtual workshops on the mandatory grants (including Workplace Skills Plans and Annual Training Reports).

“Contrast lies at the heart of Eclipse, which embraces fractured, asymmetrical elements that mimic the unpredictability of light and shadow. Hair textures, colours and shapes are meticulously designed to echo this duality, creating looks that are striking yet seamlessly harmonious. Eclipse draws inspiration from the world of hair and fashion, where contrast and duality often define iconic looks.” Cos Sakkas, British Hairdresser of the Year Hair by British Hairdresser of the Year Cos Sakkas, TONI&GUY Make-up:  Lans Nguyen-Grealis Photographer:  Jack Eames

Our collection took inspiration from Intercoiffure Mondial Collections 1st edition - Age of Elegance. We used the four moods: Pure White, Conscious Traveler, Blissful Blue and Orange Crush. The collection: INDIVIDUALISM, designed for men. This collection redefines modern masculinity by embracing diversity, confidence and originality. Each look is crafted to highlight the distinct character of the wearer - whether through sharp precision, textured movement, or effortless flow. In a world that often encourages conformity, Individualism stands as a testament to self-expression, proving that style is not a one-size-fits-all. This collection is a tribute to those who own their look, break boundaries and embrace who they are - because true style is personal.  Suzaan Saayman Stellenbosch Hair Academy Shantal Benecke Blu Gel Shantal Benecke Blu Gel Marizka Morritt Pasquale Hairstylists Marizka Morritt Pasquale Hairstylists Johan Nortje Isjon Johan Nortje Isjon Ezra Isaacs Coiffure Ezra Ezra Isaacs Coiffure Ezra Ezra Isaacs Coiffure Ezra Ezra Isaacs Coiffure Ezra Donovan Grove DNA Salon Donovan Grove DNA Salon Connie De Sousa - CJay's Hair Salon Connie De Sousa - CJay's Hair Salon Cheryl Mcgowan - The Moulin Rouge Hair Studio Anel Cloete C Connoisseurs Studio Cheryl Mcgowan - The Moulin Rouge Hair Studio Anel Cloete C Connoisseurs Studio Collection Name: INDIVIDUALISM Photographer: Anthony Horack  Clothing: Fashion Director Connie De Sousa

In the dynamic and often challenging business environment of South Africa, the importance of ethical behaviour cannot be overstated. Ethical conduct within organisations not only fosters a positive work culture but also significantly impacts overall profitability. Let's explore how ethical behaviour influences business success in the South African context.   The Current Ethical Landscape South Africa's business environment has been historically shaped by its socio-political history, including the legacy of apartheid and the transition to a democratic society. This backdrop has influenced the ethical frameworks within which businesses operate. Despite efforts to promote ethical conduct, challenges such as corruption and unethical practices remain prevalent. Ethical Behaviour and Profitability 1. Enhanced Reputation and Customer Trust : Ethical businesses tend to build stronger reputations. Customers are more likely to trust and remain loyal to companies that demonstrate integrity and fairness. This trust translates into sustained customer relationships and repeat business, which are crucial for long-term profitability. 2.   Employee Morale and Productivity : A workplace that prioritizes ethical behaviour often sees higher levels of employee morale and productivity. When employees feel valued and respected, they are more motivated and engaged. This increased productivity directly contributes to the company's bottom line. 3.   Risk Mitigation : Ethical behaviour helps in mitigating risks associated with legal issues and regulatory compliance. Companies that adhere to ethical standards are less likely to face fines, lawsuits, and other legal challenges. This not only saves costs but also protects the company's reputation. 4.   Attracting Investment : Investors are increasingly considering the ethical practices of businesses before making investment decisions. Companies with strong ethical foundations are seen as lower-risk investments, attracting more capital and favourable financing terms. 5.   Long-Term Sustainability : Ethical behaviour promotes long-term sustainability by ensuring that business practices do not harm the environment or society. Sustainable practices can lead to cost savings, such as reduced waste and energy consumption, further enhancing profitability. Case Studies and Examples Several South African companies have demonstrated the positive impact of ethical behaviour on profitability. For instance, companies that have embraced the principles outlined in the King Reports on Corporate Governance have seen improvements in their financial performance and stakeholder relations. Challenges and the Way Forward Despite the clear benefits, implementing ethical behaviour in South African businesses is not without challenges. Issues such as corruption, lack of enforcement of ethical standards, and socio-economic pressures can hinder progress. However, with strong leadership commitment and a culture of accountability, these challenges can be overcome In conclusion, ethical behaviour is not just a moral imperative but a strategic advantage for businesses in South Africa. By fostering trust, enhancing employee morale, mitigating risks, attracting investment, and promoting sustainability, ethical conduct significantly contributes to overall profitability. As South African businesses continue to navigate a complex landscape, prioritising ethics will be key to achieving long-term success.
