Your ManiPedi prices may increase in January

As of January 1, 2025, California will no longer allow nail salons to have independent booth renters operating in their salons and all nail techs at any salon will be classified as employees!

Until now, our industry has been shielded from AB 5, because we worked to get a legal carve-out for hair, skin and nail workers and barbers when that law was working its way through the Legislature in 2019. Unfortunately, due to the Legislators’ concern about one segment of our industry, nail techs and their establishment owners were only given a temporary exception that is set to expire this coming January.

** Fact: Assembly Bill 5 (AB5) went into effect January 1, 2020 in California, and has real implications for the beauty service industry.

AB5 requires certain employers to classify and treat all workers, including independent contractors, as employees, however, certain occupations are exempt from AB 5 regulations, including hairdressers, manicurists, licensed barbers, and estheticians.
​
That said, even though hair salons are exempt, there are still other tests that dictate how employees are classified

Boys, what’s going on? Please explain the popular “broccoli” haircut

The mullet and the man-bun. The buzz and the bowl. The Caesar and the crew. The Mohawk, the faux-hawk, the no-hawk. Men’s hair, particularly young men’s hair, has enjoyed a rich history—some moments have been as high as a pompadour; others, we’d just as soon comb over. But what’s happening today isn’t just another post on the Pinterest board of boys’ hair.

“Imagine a piece of broccoli on the top of your head—that’s the general idea,” says hairstylist Chris McMillan, owner of Chris McMillan the Salon, in Beverly Hills.

“You know, some of these boys are actually getting perms,” explains Saviano. “You have to remember that the technology of perms hasn’t changed since we were young, so you have all these boys willing to sit with perm rods on their head in the salon for two and a half hours. They’ll do whatever it takes to get the curls.”

Don't let 'upflation' fool you into spending more on beauty products

​That's not to say customers should feel completely relieved.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the price of hair, dental, shaving, and other care products, which are considered their own category, rose 2.3% year-over-year in May.

Still, those prices are behind the general trend. Overall inflation increased 3.3% year-over-year in May.

For shoppers in the shampoo or razor aisle, it's ultimately up to preference.

What is a burst fade haircut?

​If you're watching EURO 2024 and COPA America the Burst Fade Haircut is the over the football (soccer) pitch this summer.

Burst fade hairstyles have been one of the most popular trends for men and boys in recent times. This popularity shows no signs of slowing down either, as more and more people are opting for hairstyles that involve this modern haircut.

What is a burst fade haircut?
A burst fade is a type of fade haircut. With a burst fade, the fade is cut in a semicircular shape. So you know the fade is a burst fade if it is cut in this shape. Typically the burst fade is cut around the ear on the sides of the head, or, in front and above the ear at the temple, as for a burst taper fade.

Much of the drive behind the popularity in burst fade hairstyles stems from the popularity of the modern mullet.
