Editor's letter

Welcome to the March/April issue of Professional Beauty/Hairdressers Journal, which is filled with advice to help you prepare for the busy season ahead. Our intimate waxing feature looks at how you can help clients feel safe and comfortable when having this treatment, while our tanning feature explains how to treat different skin tones and types. We also bring you a round-up of the latest hair colour innovations, and tips on using hair extensions to add volume and help clients with thinning hair.

As usual, all of this is accompanied by a mix of news, views, business advice and product launches.

With Professional Beauty & Hair 2024 fast approaching, we have a sneak peek in this issue of what to expect at the ultimate beauty and hair show, which is taking place on 21-22 April at Dublin’s RDS. From Irish start-ups to global names,there's a range of brands showcasing their latest products and innovations at the event. Over the course of the two days, you can browse their stands to find out which ones could boost business in your salon.

Other show highlights include the Nail Competitions and Make-up Competitions, which are back for 2024, giving student and professional nail techs and MUAs a unique opportunity to win amazing prizes and be recognised in their sector for their talent and skills.
