Denman celebrated World Ocean Day with the launch of the Milk Bottle Comb.
Published:Collecting Combs
The Innovation and Design Team from Denman have been working on the comb for months, sourcing HDPE milk bottle material collected from staff and from factory and HQ kitchens. The bottles are deposited in designated bins with no contamination and reground along with the caps and labels before the polymer is injected into the moulds. The manufactured combs vary in colour which is a unique expression of the cap colours used in the grinding process in each batch and part of this incredible comb’s sustainable story.
“Bill Lynn, one of our Process Managers first floated the idea of recycling milk bottles as a usable waste stream for our manufacturing. We need a certificate of conformance with granulated plastic entering the factory but milk bottles gave us control of the regrind content. Milk is a staple yielding a lot of waste and the bottles are produced in food grade high density polyethylene. The material has been proven with a data sheet provided by the bottling company. As an added bonus bringing a washed empty milk bottle to work has zero carbon footprint, as people are travelling to work anyway. It frees up more space in the domestic recycling bin too!” – Marcus McCay, Design Manager at Denman shares the story.
The Denman D29 Milk Bottle Comb has wide rounded teeth for gentle and effective detangling and is great at distributing product. Available in varying shades of ocean green the comb has an RRP of £10.00 available from www.denmanbrush.com.
Tracey Ann Smith explains the brand’s sun care range.
Published:“We plan skincare before a holiday; the same logic should apply to hair. This range makes that easy. It helps stylists provide their clients with an accessible yet high-performance plan to protect hair and keep it healthy, even in extreme sun or salt exposure,”- Tracey.
Tracey Ann Smith, MOOD’s newly appointed Creative Director has won eight British Hairdressing Awards and brings decades of salon and session experience. She talks us through MOOD’s Sun Care range.
Between UV exposure, chlorine, saltwater, and humidity, the hair and scalp can become dry, dull, and fragile, and stylists are increasingly being asked for preventative solutions to support hair before, during and after time in the sun.
MOOD’s Sun Care collection offers just that, a smart, performance-led trio of hair and body essentials created for use around sun, sea and sand. Powered by prickly pear oil, the range provides hydration, nourishment and protection in lightweight, travel-ready formulas that support hair health and vitality while aligning with MOOD’s commitment to sustainability. Whether it’s prepping for poolside, rinsing out salt and chlorine, or simply staying hydrated on the go, this range offers a practical, all-in-one solution ideal for salon retail, travel sets or professional summer prep services.
The essential reset. After a day on the beach or by the pool, you need something that cleanses without stripping. This product keeps the hair soft and the scalp balanced while also caring for the skin.
I recommend clients should travel with this product, it’s so versatile. You can use it pre-swim as a protective barrier or post-sun for softness and shine. It gives the hair that resilience we all need.
A good after-sun is non-negotiable. This one feels luxurious but absorbs quickly, which is exactly what you want when you’re on the move. It’s the final step in the full head-to-toe sun care routine.
As with all MOOD lines, sustainability remains a central focus. The Sun Care range is cruelty-free, formulated with responsibly sourced ingredients, and designed in recyclable, low-impact packaging.
Whether prepping for a long-haul beach break or a long weekend in the sun, MOOD’s new Sun Care system delivers salon-quality protection and care, making it the summer essential every client should be packing in their suitcase.

Holistic wellness and business coach, Sonia Magnier, shares tips for not only drawing in the best stylists but keeping them inspired, loyal, and committed for the long haul.
Published:Top talent isn’t just looking for a job — they’re looking for a vibe. They want to feel part of something meaningful, inspiring, and collaborative. What this looks like:
• A values-led workplace that celebrates individuality
• Zero tolerance for drama
• Open communication and mutual respect
• A sense of belonging and creative freedom
Tip: Regularly share your salon’s mission, story, and team values in interviews, meetings, and social media. Make your culture visible.
High-performing stylists don’t want to plateau, they want progress. If there’s no vision for their future in your business, they’ll find it elsewhere. What this looks like:
• Ongoing education and advanced training
• Leadership development opportunities
• Milestone-based promotions or incentives
• One-on-one mentorship and regular reviews
Tip: Create a “Career Growth Roadmap” that you can walk stylists through during onboarding and check-ins.
Burnout is real and the salon industry is known for it. Talented stylists will leave environments that push them too hard, ignore their needs, or lack empathy. What this looks like:
• Thoughtful scheduling and breaks
• Respect for personal boundaries
• Support around mental health and stress
• Celebrating effort, not just results
Tip: Introduce regular wellbeing check-ins or mindfulness events & sessions
and walk your talk as a leader. This means getting support and ensuring
your wellness intentions start from the top and trickle down through the business
People stay where they feel valued. It’s that simple. Stylists want to know that their creativity, dedication, and results matter. What this looks like:
• Regular shout-outs (online or in-team)
• Performance-based bonuses or treats
• Thoughtful gifts or surprise thank-yous
• Celebrating milestones (e.g., 1-year anniversary, most booked stylist, etc.)
Tip: Start a “Stylist of the Month” feature to spotlight team members’ talent and efforts.
The best hire isn’t always the one with the fanciest Instagram portfolio, it’s the one who fits your team and culture. What this looks like:
• Interview questions that explore values, communication style, and collaboration
• Trial days that include team interactions
• Honest chats about expectations and work ethic
Tip: Trust your gut — if someone feels like a culture clash, they probably are. If you want loyal, motivated, talented stylists lead like the kind of salon owner you would want to work for. Your team will mirror your energy, your care, and your leadership. Invest in yourself first, this will influence EVERYTHING! Build a salon where people grow, thrive, and feel proud to be part of. That’s how you attract, and keep, top-tier talent.
Sonia’s High-Performance Leadership course runs for 6 weeks and is bookable via email/Instagram, RRP 1000 EURO. She’s also available for 1-1 coaching sessions for both busy salon owners and stylists.
