       n 1970, "Express Yourself" was sung out by RnB artist
  I    Charles Wright, a clarion call for the modern man
       and woman to abandon expectations and get in
touch with a greater sense of individuality.

In Issue 45 of the HCA magazine, we explore and champion
the people who dare to express themselves – whether that
be through style, colour, fashion or business. Aspects of our
personalities are engaged at various levels every day, be
that at home or work and by identifying both our customers
and our own personality types, this can help us exert our
influence, improve relationships, communicate effectively and
shape the world around us.
                                                                10   Experience is Everything

We explore the concept of colour psychology and how this
impacts everything from the colour consultation to a client’s
emotional state. In this edition we introduce you to a new
concept called 16 Personalities – a personality test, which
can help you map your salon floor and reveal how you and
the people around you are influenced and impacted by
different personality types.

We're also celebrating 10 years of the Moroccanoil Original
Treatment, taking a look back at Hair Expo 2018, Pop Up
Education and offering a sneak peek at what’s on the
horizon at HCA.

  The Main Event:
HAIR EXPO 2018

                       very year, Hair Expo brings together
               E       a showcase of the best brands and
                       brightest talents our industry has to
              offer. The 2018 edition saw some of the biggest
              names in the industry come from near and far to
              descend on the Melbourne Convention Centre.
              Without a doubt, a vibrant and action-packed
              June long weekend that platformed the strength
              of the Hairdressing Industry in Australia.

              As always, Haircare truly commanded a presence
              at Hair Expo with prime position in front of the
              Main Stage, showcasing our brands including Evo,
              Olaplex, Moroccanoil, Cloud Nine, Mydentity,
              BaByliss, Denman, Fusion, Reuzel and more. Plus,

              Pro Colour Mixing Cart for customised coloured
              conditioners, saw line-ups across the weekend.

              Tongues were wagging at the Haircare stand
              after the promise of new product launches saw
              the highly anticipated and world-wide first
              launch of the Olaplex No. 4 Bond Maintenance
              Shampoo & No. 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner.
              An exclusive first at Hair Expo, the duo work
              together to restore the hair’s internal strength
              and moisture levels to add incredible shine and
              manageability without excess weight. The new
              products now complete a full take home routine
              for Olaplex in the Olaplex 3-4-5 system. Other
              new product launches included the reinvention »

           of the Lakmé Chroma range which incorporates OF5
           technology that delays the oxidation of dyes to enhance
           vibrant and lasting colour. We saw the launch of the
           BaByliss Pro Miracurl 3, the 3-in-1 professional auto curl
           machine and Mydentity's new colours - the Naked and
           Super Power Collections in addition to #myconfidant
           Shampoo and Conditioner.

           Just metres away from the Haircare stand, a strong
           roster of our best brand representatives took to the
           Main Stage and dazzled the crowd with their exclusive
           industry know-how. Hollywood colourist Tracey
           Cunningham (whose client list includes Jennifer Lopez,
           Drew Barrymore and Khloe Kardashian) announced
           the exciting Olaplex No. 4 and No. 5 launch with the
           crowds lucky enough to accompany Tracey back to the
           Haircare stand and pick her brain on all things colour
           and celebrity gossip.

           Social media sensation – Guy Tang held the crowd
           captivated as he talked colour and launched his new
           Mydentity range, the Super Power Collection. Made up
           of six, extremely pigmented, direct dyes which produce
           a powerful end result, the intense depth of the colours
           are striking in their vibrancy and with superpower
           strength for minimal colour fade lasting up to 30
           washes. Back over at the Haircare stand, Guy Tang fans
           were able to get a selfie with the Hair Activist himself
           and a rare opportunity to get his autograph!

This question is so important for the hair industry right now.         just need to make sure that you are the person who taps into it.
When I turned up to the Prestige Partners’ Breakfast, I was
immediately overwhelmed by the energy in the room. There was so
much passion, enthusiasm, and excitement about shaking things up
and doing things differently.

The mood of change was definitely matched by an understanding
of the hard work that comes with it. When Ward Gauvin – Director
of Sales and Education – gave his insights into current industry
trends and threats it got my blood pumping! I love some cold, hard
realism in the morning. Justina Gardiner from Haircare’s marketing     Lisa has authored six books charting every aspect of the
team and Stephen Arrizza and Mandy Mattiske from Basin                 start-up journey in the past five years. We recommend ‘Daring &

It felt like serendipity to follow that trio of talks with my own,     can be found @lisamessenger @collectivehub and
because they led perfectly into my key points. At the heart of my      www.collectivehub.com
message was a call to get friendly with the need to change.

If you can be courageous and embrace change, then suddenly the
fast-paced world we live in stops feeling like a threat, and becomes
a huge opportunity. One of the easiest ways to get comfortable
with change is to fail fast – don’t hesitate to try new things, and
if they’re not working don’t hesitate to throw them out and try
something else. Social media can provide quick, cheap feedback on
ideas, so there’s no excuse not to start testing things right away.

Another key to successful change is understanding your purpose.
When you know what your goal is, you can iterate and adapt to
customer requirements in a way that actually helps you fulfil that
purpose. Those adaptations don’t need to be expensive either – be
