Beauty Call Welcomes Berkshire and Oxfordshire Franchisee Takeover

Leave a comment

The UK-based wedding hair and makeup agency is proud to announce that one of its popular franchisees will be relocating to a new region in 2013.

Brides in Reading, Berkshire and Oxfordshire will soon be able to book highly experienced beauty specialist Kim Laney to help them prepare their hair and makeup on the day of their wedding.

Kim has been transforming nervous brides-to-be in the South East of England on behalf of the Beauty Call franchise for some time and has picked up hundreds of appointments in the Portsmouth, Southampton and Bournemouth postcodes. She originally trained with prestigious makeup college Brushstrokes before turning her hand to numerous TV and film projects with FilmFour and working to help produce ads with designer clothing powerhouse Levi’s.

It has recently been announced that Kim is to move a little further north to take over long-standing franchisee Danielle, who has decided to move to Australia to pursue further career opportunities.

The company’s Marketing Director is sad to see such a talented member of the team leave his books but wishes Danielle the very best of luck for the future.

“We have developed great relationships with our franchisees and can safely say that Danielle will be very much missed. We would like to take the opportunity to thank her for all her hard work during her time with Beauty Call,” he says. “She raised a great deal of awareness of our company in the local area and has always been highly praised by her large client base, so we’re sure she’ll be a blinding success down under too.

“Though we’re sad to see Danielle leave, we’re more than happy to hand over the reins to Kim, who already comes highly recommended by her previous clients on the South Coast,” he adds.

For images, customer testimonials and general information on any of the franchisees currently working on behalf of Beauty Call in the UK, please visit the company’s ‘Artists’ page. Those interested in learning more about becoming a franchisee for the agency are encouraged to email the team directly.

DIY Budget Weddings: Rent Your Own Wedding Decor — Specialty Linen & Tablecloth Rentals +more

Leave a comment

When planning a wedding, couples have to decide what is most important to them in terms of spending money and time. Surveys noted that wedding rings, wedding dress, the tuxedo, the wedding planner, the florals and the decor are listed as some of the most important parts of any couple’s wedding. Wedding rings and wedding attire is definitely a crucial part of any wedding, however just how important is it to have a quality wedding planner and stunning wedding decor? Shushil Patel, an event decor designer and owner of Elegant Chairs and Linens, can attest to how important it is to have a top notch wedding planner and wedding decor designer. “For someone who has been in the wedding industry for over 8 years, my favorite part of the job is seeing the reaction of each bride as they enter into a beautifully decorated room”.

Shushil, the owner of a speciality linen and wedding tablecloth rental company says that not everyone hires a wedding planner or a wedding decorator to take care of their wedding. Some prefer to plan and decorate their own wedding to save some money, while some prefer to spend the extra money for something more luxurious and elegant. However, not having a wedding planner or decorator does not mean you can’t have a beautiful wedding. Many couples who are trying to save some money without compromising quality are deciding to take the place of a wedding planner or wedding decorator. Elegant Chairs and Linens features some of the most beautiful chiavari chairs inAtlanta. He believes a key component to a beautiful wedding is having beautiful raw materials to work with. More newlyweds are deciding to throw a DIY wedding. They are doing their own research, doing their own comparisons, planning their own wedding, renting silver and gold charger plates, wedding chairs to decorate their own wedding.

Salon Produces Video On A Better Haircutting Experience For Children Suffering From Autism


snipits

Snip-its (www.snipits.com), the fastest growing franchise of children’s hair salons in the U.S., is very proud to announce a partnership with the non-profit organization Autism Speaks. This partnership has produced the publication of a nine-page “Haircutting Training Guide” booklet as well as a “Tips For Successful Haircuts” video, which gives both parents as well as Snip-its stylists tips on how to give autistic children a wonderful haircutting experience. A digital version of the “Haircutting Training Guide” booklet and a copy of the video are currently featured on the “Family Services-Community Connections” page of the Autismspeaks.org Web site.

“We are very proud that we can work in conjunction with a great non-profit charity like Autism Speaks,” says Christine Mudd, director of franchise development for Snip-its. “We hope that our booklet and video can help families give children with autism a better experience in the salon.”

The “Haircutting Training Guide” is an easy to read, nine page booklet which was created by Snip-its in conjunction with Autism Speaks and Melmark New England. The booklet outlines tips for both stylists and parents on how to best make haircuts a easy and stress free experience for children suffering from autism and gives stylists tips on how to speak and interact with these children while giving a haircut. The booklet also features a large section of tips for parents on how to alert management and stylists to your child’s individual needs pre-haircut and how to make their child comfortable throughout their haircutting experience.

The “Hair Cutting Tips for Children with Autism” video puts the tips outlined in the “Haircutting Training Guide” booklet into an easy to follow video format. At Snip-its we take pride in giving children the best haircut, and the best experience possible. While a haircut involving a child with autism might be a bit more challenging, by following a few simple steps, we can assure both the child and the parent that they will experience a quick and enjoyable haircutting experience.

Autism is a complex neurological disorder that typically lasts throughout a person’s lifetime and effects 1 in 150 individuals. This makes autism more common than pediatric cancer, diabetes and AIDS combined. Autism knows no racial, ethnic or social lines and affects four times as many boys as it does girls. It impairs a person’s ability to communicate and relate to others and is associated with rigid routines and repetitive behavior. Symptoms can range from very mild to severe and while steps can be taken to make a autistic child more comfortable in society, no known cure is available at this time.

About Snip-its
The Snip-its Corporation, based in Natick, Massachusetts, is a growing kids franchise designed to untangle the hair care challenges of children and their parents. It provides the best customer service and a guaranteed great time for both kids and parents. The salon franchise has served more than one million children annually in 65 locations.

New Designer White T-Shirt Project By Topman

Topman has launched the fourth in a series of projects which invites a handful of designers to create their ideal version of a staple wardrobe piece. This season sees the humble white T-shirt reworked by designers Richard Chai, Phillip Lim, Christopher Shannon, Juun J, JW Anderson and Henry Holland alongside the in-house Topman design team.

topmanshirts

Both JW Anderson and Christopher Shannon have shown their designs with Topman previously through the MAN partnership with Fashion East which started eight seasons ago.

JW Anderson presented designs as part of MAN AW09 and is widely being hailed as one to watch. His design uses an eclectic mix of details: a long raglan sleeve finished with a shirt cuff, split shoulder button detail and a scoop back hem. The overall look is reminiscent of a traditional shirt.

Christopher Shannon has twice shown as part of MAN and is renowned for re-working sportswear. For the latest project, Shannon has designed a T-shirt using his trademark all-over print design. This design is available in two colourways; one a tonal white-on-white print and the other a black-on-white contrast print.

MAN has been the only on-schedule menswear show for a number of years and was the catalyst to this year’s successful AW09 dedicated menswear day. MAN enables a handful of young designers to show their collections during London Fashion Week.

US designer, Phillip Lim, has taken his inspiration for the latest project from Asia, using origami style folded pleats to create a bib front T-shirt design, a leisurewear piece that has transpired from a tailored shirt design.

New York based designer, Richard Chai, has gained a cult following as part of the new wave of American menswear designers. Chai has kept his T-shirt design simple using asymmetrical patchwork shapes to create a simple yet effective design.

Originally from Korea Juun J made his debut in 2007 at Paris Fashion Week, now he is a regular on their schedule. Juun J has produced a poncho style oversized hooded T-shirt design to create a distinctive streetwear feel.

Henry Holland, who is famed for his tongue in cheek slogan T-shirts has this time gone for a simple approach by producing a straightforward monochromatic T-shirt with a contrast ‘H’ appliqué which is complimented by a square neckline.

This time Topman Design has produced two design options to meet the project brief. The first is a boxy oversized T-shirt with a non-functional oversized pocket design. The second is a double layered T-shirt composed of two varying neck lines with a tubular folded hem.

The full range of white T-shirts from the new project are being made available from the flagship Topman in Oxford Circus London and New York stores as well as online at topman.com. The range will also be available in New York, Sweden, Japan, Russia, Singapore, and Thailand.

About Topman:
Topman offers the latest in mens fashion, encompassing mens shorts, mens printed T-shirts, retro T-shirts and a range of styles to suit every shopper. Topman’s extensive mens clothing collection embraces everything from the latest fashion trends to classic pieces, and extends to mens shoes, accessories, mens underwear and formal wear. Topman also provide the simplest way to search for and buy mens clothing, placing it among the leading fashion retailers in the UK market today.

Where brides go, vendors follow. Having himself been frustrated by the limited interactivity of other bridal websites — having to call an 800 number and play endless phone tag to changes ad postings, for example — Hurwitz says he has tried to create a site he as a wedding professional would want to use. By pricing his vendor services at less than half the cost of higher profile bridal sites, he has made his site “a lot more user-friendly for a lot less money”.

Each vendor has complete, click-to-use control over its personal interactive ad space, including streaming video uploads, photo gallery, unlimited article publishing, coupon generation, and customized search engine placement. All changes can be made online. Vendors can visit the bridal forums as well as vendors’only forums for tech chat.

tBigfoots, look out. Lunch hours aren’t what they used to be for brides-to-be, and the smart money is on TheBridalGuides.com To arrange an interview with Gandhi Hurwitz for more information on this subject contact sale@thebridalguides.com

Increasing Interest In Macrolane Procedures Reveals Surgicare

Surgicare, one of the leading cosmetic surgery providers in the UK, has revealed a growing interest by Brits in its Marcolane procedures.

March 2009 saw the highest number of enquiries and consultations about Marcolane since Surgicare began offering the service in April the previous year.

Macrolane is a non-surgical procedure that can help with breast reshaping or breast enlargement. The procedure consists of an injection and generally takes less than two hours to complete, with no need for an overnight stay. The results of Macrolane are instantaneous and can last for up to 18 months.

The number of enquiries in March rose by 111% on the previous month’s figure and 78% on the previous record – held jointly by January this year and September 2008. Consultations were also at an all time high – 60% up on February’s figures – and in keeping with the year’s average of a consultation for slightly more than every six enquiries.

Online searches for the procedure have also seen a huge boost since they were introduced in early 2007, peaking around March this year.

Mark Bury, chief executive officer of SurgiCare, said: “This recent rise in interest of cosmetic treatments, particularly the non-surgical procedures such as Marcolane, shows that despite the harsh economic times the public are still keen to look their best.

“Using Marcolane gives a quick boost to a woman’s appearance and is ideal to help boost someone’s confidence. It can be particularly useful for someone after childbirth, or after significant weight loss, who is looking to restore lost volume from their breasts or for someone who just wants to enhance their natural shape.”

Macrolane uses a smooth, non-animal based hyaluronic gel to help enhance breasts and leaves no visible scarring. Men can also benefit from Macrolane’s body shaping treatments by enhancing and refining body shape giving natural looking contours to the chest, as well as other areas including the buttocks and calves.

Beware Of Fraudulent Web Sites Selling Fake Extagen Capsules Causing Major Health Scares In Consumers

Jason Stephenson proudly announces the launch of his new Extagen capsules website at www.extagen-capsule-review.com which explores the shocking truth about fraudulent Extagen capsules and why they do not work. He also reviews genuine Extagen supplements and answers questions about their efficiency.

“Men have been looking for an effective way to enlarge their penis size for many years,” said Jason. Unfortunately, up until recently, men have had no real solution to this problem. The introduction of Extagen to the market changed all that, and men finally had an answer to penis enlargement. Shortly thereafter, the fraudulent capsules were manufactured and simply did not work.

This has put men at a disadvantage when they are looking for real capsules that truly deliver what they promise.

“It is necessary for men to use due diligence when researching Extagen capsules. Men need to select their Extagen pills f r o m a website that promotes only genuine Extagen capsules that are manufactured and distributed f r o m the official company website only. Fraudulent Extagen capsules are a scam. http://www.extagen-capsule-review.com is an authorized promoter of original Extagen, which is the only Extagen product that works.

Why is the market being flooded with fake Extagen pills?

“Extagen has proven itself to be the leader in penis enhancement products,” explained Jason. “When a product works it gets copied. Extagen capsules have been able to increase the penis size in men. They can increase both the length and girth of the penis, and help with premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction as well.”

Jason conducted extensive research of many of the penis enhancement pills available on the Internet. He studied the price factor, the ease of use and the effectiveness of the pills.

Jason concluded that only genuine Extagen capsules could give men the results they were looking for at the cheapest price and in a short period of time. He also discovered that they were completely safe to take and that consumers experienced no dangerous side effects f r o m their use.

Most men are not happy with their penis size anymore, and one out of every ten men worldwide suffers f r o m erectile dysfunction. These statistics are increasing yearly as the male population accepts sexual dysfunction as a problem that can be discussed and helped. In fact, more and more men are actively searching the Internet for herbal male enhancement supplements such as Extagen.

Men are looking for a safe alternative treatment for their sexual dysfunction problems. Manufactured in an FDA approved manufacturing facility, Extagen is a natural supplement containing powerful herbs that increase the blood flow to the penis. This increases the penis size and makes erections firmer and much more sustainable. These herbs have been used for many years with excellent results.

Extagen has proven itself by giving men back their sexual freedom. 

“I used to have an average size and average performance,” said one user. “ Extagen capsules raised my performance level and I now feel as though I could go on for hours. If only my partner could keep up with me. These capsules work.”

Burton Launches Quiksilver Clothing Line

Burton, the men’s fashion specialists, has launched a new clothing line available online and in selected high street Burton stores f r o m Quiksilver, the surf and casual wear clothing company. 

Among the items in the new range of mens clothing f r o m Quiksilver are a number of printed t-shirts, including some featuring vintage designs, hoodies and zip ups and a full range of boardshorts, all boasting intricate designs.

Jaqui Murphy, Burton Buyer, said: “This Quiksilver range provides the Burton customer with a true feel of the surfing brand by including the original 1970s logos on vintage wash tees and classic hibiscus print boardies, while remaining relevant to a fast paced British lifestyle with brushed cotton hoodies and a comfortable range of easy to wear coloured tees.”

Quiksilver designs, produces and distributes clothing, accessories and related products for young-minded people and develops brands that represent a casual lifestyle driven f r o m a surfing heritage. Quiksilver’s authenticity is evident in its products, events and retail environments across the globe.

Quiksilver’s products are sold throughout the world, primarily in surf shops, skate shops and other specialty stores but the new clothing line will now also be available online at burton.co.uk and in selected high street stores.

The Quiksilver way of life was born in 1969 when two young Australian surfers went to Torquay to live out their surfing dream. Their break through was creating innovative boardshorts made f r o m a durable lightweight fabric which dried rapidly. Soon other riders would do anything to get one of these elusive newfangled boardshorts. This was the birth of Quiksilver, the genuine, original, functional choice of the hard-core participant. Over the years Quiksilver has been propelled further by its constant innovation in materials, high tech fabrics and cutting edge graphics – this collection is the embodiment of the Quiksilver lifestyle.
