London-based communications agency MB Communications Ltd has been appointed to handle the PR for the Marina Abramović Longevity Method.

Marina Abramović is the world’s leading performance artist. Her work continuously pushes the boundaries of performance art: explores body art, endurance art, the relationship between the performer and audience, the limits of the body, and the possibilities of the mind.

Marina Abramović at the Royal Academy, a history-making career retrospective, is currently drawing in audiences in London.  Abramović is first female artist to have a solo show in the institution’s 255-year history.

Over the course of Marina’s 50-year career she has developed the Abramović Method to help her and others recentre themselves and focus on what is most important – to live in the present, long and healthily.  It draws inspiration from various traditions across cultures, integrates meditation, mindfulness, natural remedies and artistic expression.  The Marina Abramović Longevity Method will now launch to a global audience, with the focus on helping people achieve their desire to live a long and healthy life.

A new website will launch followed by the first product range launch – The Marina Abramović Longevity Concept.  For this, Marina has collaborated with Dr Nonna Brenner, the renowned Austrian doctor who she has personally worked with for more than 20 years, and created an exclusive range of all natural products centred around the idea of longevity, rediscovering forgotten rituals and knowledge of the past associated with beauty and wellness and reimagining them for use today. 

Maria Boyle, Director of MB Communications Ltd, comments: “We’re incredibly excited to be working on the launch and alongside Marina and her collaborators in the field of medicine, psychology and other disciplines associated with wellness.”

The Net Zero Salons Programme launches to help salons in the UK and Ireland through the process of becoming a Net Zero business

26^th January 2023, London – L’Oréal and Net Zero Now, the climate action platform, have partnered to develop an industry-first initiative, the Net Zero Salons Programme – to enable hair salons to embark on the journey to Net Zero, open to salons across the UK and Ireland.

The Net Zero Salons Programme guides salons through the process of calculating, tracking and reducing greenhouse gas emissions through tailored carbon reduction plans, with the ultimate ambition of certifying as a “Net Zero Salon”. Developed by Net Zero Now in partnership with L’Oréal, as well as involving peer reviews and input from across the industry, the programme is based on a salon-specific roadmap and tool for measuring, tracking, reporting and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. 

With approximately 31,000 hair salons up and down UK high streets, salons play a significant role in the beauty economy. Data from the initial Net Zero Salons Programme pilot estimates that the average salon appointment produces 3.1kg of greenhouse gas emissions per year. In line with Science Based Targets, the programme aims to empower salons and clients alike to play their role in taking carbon reduction action and recommends that salons on the programme work towards a benchmark of 2kg per salon appointment. If all salons in the UK achieved this 2kg benchmark, the industry could remove approximately a third (33 per cent) of its greenhouse gas emissions. 

Client habits and expectations on sustainability are evolving: recent L’Oréal surveys found that nearly half of British women (45 per cent) said they made more sustainable choices in 2022 than in previous years, and when looking more specifically at salons, 43 per cent wanted to see their salon doing more to be sustainable, and nearly a quarter (23 per cent) said they now expect a beauty or wellness service provider to be committed to reducing their environmental footprint.

The programme aims to make the journey to becoming a “Net Zero Salon” accessible for all salons by providing personalised and actionable recommendations; from switching to renewable energy and becoming more energy efficient, improving waste treatment and management, reducing water consumption and heating, to incentivising employees with ride to work schemes or encouraging public transport options. The programme is open to salons in the UK & Ireland who can discover more and sign up to the programme now:  www.netzero.salon

Simon Heppner, Co-Founder, Net Zero Now said: “We are very excited to introduce this industry-first roadmap and tool for the salon sector in partnership with L’Oréal. This programme is open to all salons, empowering the whole industry to play its part in tackling the climate crisis and meeting the growing expectations of consumers and employees. We know this programme can help salons to be even more efficient by reducing energy and water consumption which we hope also brings more business resilience for the future. With Net Zero initiatives now live in hospitality, accountancy, tech services and salons, we’re providing tens of thousands of small businesses with the tools they need to take their first steps on the road to Net Zero.”  

Adam Reed, Adam Reed London, hairdresser & salon owner said: “I am delighted to be one of the first salons to be part of the L’Oréal and Net Zero Now ‘Net Zero Salons Programme’. Sustainability is something that is incredibly important to me as an individual and as a business leader – and it is something that both my team and clients actively ask about and want to see us taking action on. 

“I have been embarking on my salon’s sustainability journey for some time and new tools like the programme protocol are invaluable for our sector. The tool has helped me to understand where I am at on my journey by calculating and tracking, and then importantly, has helped me to accelerate with a personalised reduction plan and making my salon business more resilient for the future.” 

 

Millie Kendall OBE, CEO British Beauty Council said: “Now more than ever – especially post pandemic – salons play an essential role on our British high streets and local communities; with the power to not only inspire confidence and promote wellbeing, but to be an advocate for positive change – not only from a business perspective but extending to influencing consumer habits on important topics such as sustainability. This new Net Zero Salons Programme, coupled with L’Oréal’s new educational offerings to help up skill hairdressers on sustainability, is really empowering the salon sector to play its role and take action.”

Leading names in the salon industry, including Adam Reed (London), Trevor Sorbie (Manchester) and Linton & Mac (Scotland), were amongst the 17 salons who enrolled on the Net Zero Salons Programme pilot to help develop this industry-first actionable salon carbon footprint tracker and roadmap. 

The Net Zero Salons Programme is part of L’Oréal Groupe’s wider 2030 sustainability roadmap, L’Oreal For The Future, a set of measurable targets on climate, water, biodiversity and natural resources. As part of this roadmap, L’Oréal is committed to supporting its partner salons – and the wider industry – to adopt more sustainable business practices through its Hairstylists for the Future programme. This already established programme, has been developing innovative solutions to support salons across environmental pillars such as waste, through a partnership with the Green Salon Collective and water, providing solutions for responsible water use and lowering water consumption with the new L’Oréal Water Saver, a showerhead that uses jet-fusion technology to significantly reduce a salon’s water consumption at the backwash, which is set to roll out in spring 2023.

No7 THE UK’S #1 skincare brand1 REVEALS the revival and global APPETITE for British beauty brands and expertise.

• No7 reveals its iconic products have been flying off the shelves in the US with two day creams sold every minute² 
• On average, women in the US buy from a British beauty brand 24 times a year³
• Still a firm favourite at home, No7 is also the number one skincare brand at Boots⁴
• The brand’s famous line of Age-Defying Day Creams including Protect & Perfect, Lift & Luminate and Restore & Renew continue to be its best-selling products on both sides of the pond⁵
• 196% increase in searches for ‘British Beauty’ in the last quarter as a result of the ‘Platinum Jubilee Effect’⁶

No7, the UK’s No1 skincare brand¹, has supported women’s skin for generations with 87 years of skincare science. Its iconic products sell once every two seconds in the UK⁴. Now, the rest of the world has discovered the products taking pride of place in millions of homes across Britain with two of its iconic day creams flying off the shelves in the US every minute².  

In a first of its kind trans-Atlantic beauty report, it seems that ‘Brit Beauty’ is on its way to a cult-status like the previously loved French Pharmacy and K-Beauty Brands. On average, women in the US buy from a British beauty brand 24 times a year, with 1 in 10 US women describing British beauty as ‘game-changing’³. Two-thirds reported that they would happily buy from a British beauty brand in the future with the impressive scientific innovation and reliable results of products being cited as the two biggest contributing factors³. The survey of 2,000 women in the UK and US respectively also explored the different beauty habits in each market and found that British women spent an average of £130 on beauty and skincare products⁷ per year compared to their North American counterparts at $221 (£182)³.

“Our beauty industry is now worth around £30 billion to the UK economy” adds Millie Kendall O.B.E, CEO of the British Beauty Council. “Global consumers value the craftsmanship and quality of British beauty brands that have a trusted and reputable heritage, something we’ll see continue as we approach the celebration of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. It’s fantastic to see brands like No7 trailblaze British Beauty globally with accessible innovations.”

Results of a new instrumental skin hydration study showed No7’s Age Defying Day Creams hydrate better than moisturizers that cost 10x more⁸, something which has wowed skincare shoppers in the US with No7 Restore and Renew Multi Act Day Cream and No7 Lift & Luminate Day Cream performing as the two top selling products in the US⁵. In a side-by-side comparison, No7’s Lift & Luminate Triple Action Day Cream, specifically, hydrated better that the #1 day cream on the market.⁹

No7’s Skincare Expert, Dija Ayodele adds, “The innovation coming out of the UK is fantastic and British brands like No7 are spearheading accessibility and the democratisation of beauty. With the sky rocketing cost of living, it couldn’t be more important for shoppers to find the latest skincare innovations and ingredients in their local retailers at amazing value. The rise of Brit Beauty is also paving the way for smaller independent British brands to be recognised on a global platform. 

No7’s Pro Derm Scan service is the latest scientific innovation from the brand. Founded in 1935, No7 is committed to making premium skincare and cosmetic products inclusive, accessible and affordable for everyone. From initiatives such as its CIBTAC endorsed Skin School training programme for No7 Beauty Advisors, to its industry-leading Creator Collective initiative that aims to tackle misinformation in skincare and cosmetics in the influencer space, No7 continues to lead the way in accessible clinical beauty.

No7 Pro Derm Scan with Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly

No7 Pro Derm Scan service will launch in Boots stores from 6^th April 2022, enabling free access to dermatologist-grade device, available nationwide for the first time.

No7, the UK’s number one skincare brand^[1], today announces the launch of Pro Derm Scan; a game-changing new diagnostic service which will give customers the ultimate in personalised, accessible skincare and cosmetic recommendations. The new No7 Pro Derm Scan service uses a hand-held diagnostic device which analyses both skin condition AND skin tone. This technology combined with the expert advice of the No7 Beauty Advisors, is the first and only service of its kind to be available nationwide, providing free skincare analysis for Boots customers with a dermatologist-grade device.

No7’s Pro Derm Scan service will enable UK shoppers to understand their skin better and make the right decisions for their skincare and cosmetics routines based on scientific analysis of their own skin, providing confidence that they are purchasing products tailored to their specific needs and concerns. The launch follows research conducted by No7 on 2,000 UK women which found that 75 per cent of women only use a third of their skincare and makeup with a further 86 per cent confirming they have bought a skincare product only to try it and find it doesn’t suit their skin.

Tried and tested on over 6,000 No7 customers in the UK over a three-month trial period, the award-winning cutting-edge technology has taken six years to develop and is a result of a partnership with Canadian tech firm FitSkin® with the assistance of Prof. Rod Hay, Consultant Dermatologist. The technology, powered by Fitskin®, captures images of the skin at 30 times magnification and uses machine learning technology to evaluate the results, to aid No7 Beauty Advisors in recommending the best skincare and cosmetics products and regime. The No7 Pro Derm Scan device was developed with a team of PhD colour scientists at the former Kodak colour lab in Rochester, NY, to provide simultaneous analysis across both skin condition and skin tone. This allows customers to not only find suitable skincare recommendations with the help of an expert advisor, but also accurately shade match foundations to their own skin tone.

No7 Pro Derm Scan and Claudia Winkleman

Suitable for all skin tones, No7 Pro Derm Scan recreates the controlled setting of a scientific laboratory to analyse skin, providing highly accurate images and measurements. The tool is designed to deliver high-resolution scanning that can detect subtle changes to the skin and skin features smaller than 0.02mm (five times smaller than a human hair) before they become apparent to the naked eye.  It uses a wealth of scientific research and expertise to analyse the results of the scans and provide the customer with personalised skin scores for key skin measures. Twenty million skin areas are analysed per scan, to provide scientifically validated analysis of skin tone and four skin parameters: fine lines and wrinkles, pores, oil balance and hydration. To date, the device has been granted four international patents, with 16 patents pending.  

Kirandeep Sandhu – No7 Global Skincare Innovation Manager comments, “No7’s Pro Derm Scan service is a game-changer, bringing skin analysis technology with a human touch to the high street. Through a personalised consultation with our No7 Beauty Advisors, No7 consumers will be able to see their skin like never before, understand how their skin is performing, and receive expert advice on the right skincare and cosmetics products and regimes for their skin. We are delivering a significant step-change in consumers’ experience of skin diagnostics and their understanding of their own skin, by continuing to bring even more personalised services to consumers, underpinned by our scientific credibility and skin expertise.”

How it works

The Pro Derm Scan device has three key functions – a hydration sensor, a magnification lens, and multispectral-lighting. These functions are essential in order to conduct skin and skin tone analysis above and below the skin’s surface while working on all skin types. 

• HYDRATION SENSOR: the highly accurate capacitive sensor measures hydration above and beneath the skin’s surface providing an accurate measure of the water present in the top layers of the skin.
• MAGNIFICATION LENS: the 30x magnification lens detects skin features five times smaller than a human hair. It is 1000 x more powerful than the human eye.
• MULTISPECTRAL-LIGHTING: it is built with 12 LED lights, including cross-polarized lights (which see beneath the skin surface) and blue/UV lights which are used to illuminate skin consistently from scan-to-scan, creating a precise lighting environment. This means store lighting does not impact the results at all.

The 15-minute No7 Pro Derm Scan consultation involves skin analysis using the dermatologist-grade device

followed by personalised product and regime recommendations from the expert No7 Beauty Advisor. The service is available in 459 Boots stores nationwide and appointments can be booked online at https://www.boots.com/no7-pro-derm-scan from Wednesday 6^th April 2022. No7 customers can also rediscover the secret to amazing skin with the reassurance of the No7 challenge; try the products for four weeks and if you don’t love the results you get your money back.  

No7 Pro Derm Scan is the latest scientific innovation from the brand. Founded in 1935, No7 is committed to making premium skincare and cosmetic products inclusive, accessible and affordable for everyone. From initiatives such as its CIBTAC endorsed Skin School training programme for No7 Beauty Advisors, to its industry-leading Creator Collective initiative that aims to tackle misinformation in skincare and cosmetics in the influencer space, No7 continues to lead the way in accessible clinical beauty.  

January 2022: The UK’s leading hair and colour salon Jo Hansford Harvey Nichols is offering clients a chance to update their look in 2022 with a range of new services launching this month.

These include a Jo Hansford Hair History Colour Consultation, the chance to have a full (hair) MOT including a Hair & Scalp check up, Haircials, Split End SOS treatment and, continuing the trend of Veganuary, vegan tints and vegan hair colour.

The new services will also be offered alongside the salon’s range of expert colour and styling services.

Joanna Hansford, MD of Jo Hansford salon, explains more:

“Healthy hair is beautiful hair and we always believe condition is an essential part of the process at Jo Hansford as it provides the foundation to perfect colour and styling. Our Mayfair and Knighsbridge salons provide a wide range of hair spa treatments, some of which offer instantaneous results to moisturise, repair, and ensure the ultimate shine, and others which involve consultations with the UK’s most respected independent hair experts.”

“Hair is often neglected when it comes to the New Year with people focusing instead on diet and exercise but giving your hair an annual review and really checking colour, hair health and overall style is the fastest way to getting a new look without having to detox, diet and change your lifestyle in an extreme way.”

The services in detail include:

1. Jo Hansford Hair History Analysis:

This involves one of Jo Hansford’s expert colourists reviewing a client’s colour, a detailed discussion in relation to the full history of the hair colour and an analysis of the hair shaft.

The hour-and-a-half long session also includes a wet porosity test to assess condition and from this, the Jo Hansford colourist will be able to see whether a client’s hair can withstand the colour requested and how easy it will be to create the desired result.

Louisa Moore comments:

“We often have clients who believe they have no colour on their hair as they had something done years ago which would have washed or faded out or was a semi-permanent. However, these products can often stay on the hair longer than you may think and the hair will need more attention to detail when colouring to get the perfect look.”

The consultation will include expert colour recommendation and utilise actual hair pieces which will be held next to a client’s face so they can see how the colour would look next to their skin tone. The colourist will also share inspiration and suggestions via a number of sources including the salon’s specially programmed ipads and style and colour books. For the truly bespoke look, there will be an opportunity to create a client’s own pin/mood board of images.

In addition, the pre colour assessment would include:

• Patch test (as usual)
• Strand test (if required)
• Clarifying shampoo to remove any product buildup
• Hair mask to prep the hair in advance of colour – this will help to reduce any breakage and strengthen and condition the hair
• 15-minute scalp stimulating massage
• Blow dry

Prices from £80.00

The salon is also able to create a number of bespoke packages depending on the client including:

1. First foray into colour (new colour clients)
2. Rebuild and gloss (stressed hair needing SOS)
3. Colour correction/change (those wanting a complete change for the New Year).

Prices from £150.00

2. Trichological MOT: The Hair and Scalp Health Check-up

Jo Hansford’s Knightsbridge salon, which is located on the Fourth Floor of Harvey Nichols, is proud to partner with one of the world’s leading trichologists, Dr Hugh Rushton of The Rushton Clinic. As part of Dr Rushton’s in-salon consultancy services, he and his team will be offering Jo Hansford clients The Trichological MOT: The Hair and Scalp Health Check-up.

What is it? Using high magnification digital video and photo technology, this detailed check-up service thoroughly assesses all aspects of your hair and scalp’s health.

Why is it useful? Dr Hugh Rushton comments

“Regular checking of your hair and scalp can be vital for numerous reasons. The importance of a regular assessment of our skin, particularly in the areas that are difficult to see ourselves, cannot be understated. Spotting any changes early provides the best opportunity to ensure we receive potentially lifesaving medical intervention without delay.”

But a Hair and Scalp Check-up does not stop at just looking for abnormal lumps and bumps. It offers a chance to assess and monitor many common ailments, such as dandruff, inflammation, and hair loss. Objective assessment by magnified video and photo technology will help accurately manage and track the improvement of these stubborn conditions. Plus, a detailed assessment of the hair and scalp will ensure there are no signs of hair damage or other hair shaft abnormalities that might prevent a client from achieving the look they desire.

Consultations from £85.00

3. Haircial

Jo Hansford’s signature Haircial for 2022 will encompass the Kerastase Fusion Scrub, a range developed to deeply cleanse the scalp and the hair from pollution particles. It is a new, efficient way to answer today’s main hair concerns: greasy scalp, dandruff and lifeless lengths. This not only cleanses the scalp but will result in healthier-looking, bouncy and shiny hair.

How it works: Clients are given the choice of two scrubs: ‘Apaisant’ that will soothe the scalp or ‘Energisant’ to energise and volumise the hair. Next steps is an application of Jo Hansford Intensive Masque which will be left on the hair with a warm towel wrapped around it for 10 minutes. This will renourish and moisturise hair that has been left frazzled by too much styling, straightening and tonging in the run up to Christmas. The haircial works to repair the hair, quenched with an innovative infusion of moisturising and strengthening ingredients.

Hair will then be trimmed to remove any split or dead ends to ensure it is looking its ultimate best for the New Year ahead.

Jo Hansford signature Haircial treatment lasts for 90 minutes and starts from £180.00.

4. Veganuary – go vegan – with vegan hair colour too…

Jo Hansford Harvey Nichols also offers its clients the option to have vegan colour. The specialist colourist uses Oway products, both for colouring and care. These are the first and only professional hair care and colour line made with biodynamic (and organic, fair trade and non-toxic) ingredients. The high performance colour comes in packaging that is fully recyclable materials.

Bridget Kearney who specialises in vegan colour at Jo Hansford Harvey Nichols comments:

“The quality and longevity of a vegan colour are equivalent to regular colour; one can expect excellent richness, vibrancy, and shine. As with any colour service, the quality of the hair and any previous colour work will impact determining how quickly your colour can fade.”

Prices for colouring from £130.00 for a tint and from £315.00 for a full head of highlights.

5. Jo Hansford Split End Treatment

Jo Hansford Split End Solution is a keratin hair-repairing treatment that coats the ends of the hair to nourish and seal them.

The treatment smoothes and soothes hair that has been damaged from too much sun, sea or hair straightening, leaving it shiny, sleek and in optimum condition for hair growth. It is perfect for anyone who wants to grow their hair, but split ends mean they have to forgo this to have frequent trims. With two formulas for coloured and non-coloured hair, those with tinted or highlighted hair can also book in safe in the knowledge that the treatment will not strip or dull just-coloured hair.

The application process involves three shampoos with a clarifying shampoo to take the moisture out of the hair, rough-drying, plenty of keratin applied on the hair, 20 minutes under the lamp and straightening to finish.

Price from £150.00 and includes a blow dry.

Jo Hansford Harvery Nichols will be open seven days a week, from 10am-7pm Monday to Saturday and 12pm-6pm on Sundays. for bookings, please call the salon on 020 7112 1493 or email Harveynichols@johansford.com

Jo Hansford Mayfair salon is open Tuesday to Saturday 8.30am-6pm and Monday 830am-5.30pm (Reception only). Tel: 020 7495 7774 or email reception@johansford.com

No7 Beauty Company opens British Beauty Week 2021 with the British Beauty Council, revealing latest innovations and extends availability to Australia and China

• Data shows the beauty industry is back with a bang with skincare and mass cosmetics showing strong double digit YoY growth since the ending of lockdown in the UK
• No7 Beauty Company set to trailblaze British Beauty globally with new insights, innovations, markets and breakthrough skincare launches over the next six months based on consumer insight
• British Beauty Council and No7 Beauty Company join forces to launch ‘Influencer Studio’ to support influencers publishing content on the science of beauty and skin

New York and London, September 8, 2021

Today, No7 Beauty Company unites with the British Beauty Council to kickstart British Beauty Week – the UK’s biggest and brightest platform for showcasing the beauty industry’s value, talent, innovation, and creativity. Despite the challenges of the past 18 months, the newly formed consumer led beauty business is confident the beauty industry is back with a bang. As a company that believes in listening and not telling, its data has shown that since the easing of the UK’s lockdown restrictions in July, skincare and cosmetics are both in growth with the lipstick effect once again taking hold. In the first three months of the year (Jan – March) the company saw a 61 % increase in volume of No7 lipstick sales while Boots.com reported an increase of 731% in searches ‘lipstick’ compared to the same time last year.

Today, No7 Beauty Company is set to trailblaze British beauty globally with new insights, innovations and market launches. Already present in 23,300 retailers around the world, across 17 markets including the US, this year it is launching its iconic beauty brands in Australia, China and Indonesia. Its recent No7 launch into the Priceline drugstore in Australia is a great success story, becoming a top selling skincare brand within its first few days of launch. Later this month, No7 Beauty Company will be introducing its Soap & Glory brand into mainland China for the first time – taking advantage of new restrictions on animal testing. A total of 14 products from the Original Pink, Smoothie Star and Magnifici-coco, the most popular franchises, will be the first to launch.

Annie Murphy, SVP and Chief Commercial Brands Officer of Walgreens Boots Alliance explains:

“As part of the Walgreens Boots Alliance family, No7 Beauty Company has a shared ambition to offer inclusive and trusted beauty brands made for everyone and we are in the best possible position to offer beauty solutions to more people around the world, in stores and online.

No7 Beauty Company launched in April 2021 to create the best in beauty for everyone. We employ 2,900 people in the UK and around the world and have an unrivalled heritage in British beauty spanning nearly a century. We are proud to be the lead partner for British Beauty Week 2021 and we actively support the British Beauty Council’s mission to drive growth and innovation in the beauty industry.”

Actively listening to its customers and developing products for their needs, No7 Beauty Company today reveals a rich pipeline of product innovation rolling out across its much-loved brands including:

• Sleep-enhancing innovation from Soap & Glory, No7 and Botanics, based on demand from consumers
• A new Clarifying range from Botanics for blemish-prone skin using ingredients such as turmeric and willow bark that are inspired by ayuverdic properties to promote wellbeing and to calm stressed skin
• A Liz Earle Beauty Co. Pro-Biotic skincare range, formulated with a daily biotic boost of naturally active pre, pro and postbiotics, scientifically proven to strengthen the moisture barrier to dramatically improve the look of dry, sensitive skin in just 7 days
• An extension of the best-selling, award-winning No7 Retinol range with the NEW Pure Retinol Collection comprising a Night Cream, Eye Cream and Hand Cream. The extended range is designed with lower, active levels of retinol to deliver a broad range of noticeable benefits across multiple skin types and ethnicities, formulated to be kinder on skin and minimise irritation.

Finally, No7 Beauty Company has announced the launch of its ‘Influencer Studio’, a skincare education programme, created in partnership with the British Beauty Council to help coach influencers on skincare. Over 55% of global consumers still find the skincare and cosmetic categories complex and confusing and find it difficult to identify what products are suited to their skin, highlighting a need for more clarity from reputable sources.

British Beauty Week will take place between 8th and 12th September 2021 in Covent Garden, home of the inaugural British Beauty Week.
