Dublin beauty store gets amakeover


This month Premier Software introduces Salonlite.com, a completely free of charge online cloud-based booking system for small beauty businesses or independent therapists.


"We are very excited to be launching Salonlite as it opens up the facility and advantages of computerised bookings to the smaller operator who previously may have been restricted to a traditional diary," Robert Miles of Premier Software told us.


The tool has been designed as a quick way for you to manage appointment bookings, and also features a set of industry standard reports to allow you to manage your business more accurately.


Joining is simple, just visit www.salonlite.com to register, and also get a free listing on Spa and salon specific online directory Yapps.com.


Insure your skin


Venus Medical, a specialist cosmetic medicine clinic in Dundrum, Dublin 14 has introduced an innovative way of keeping client loyalty. Their Skinurance scheme means that clients pay in advance for a multi- treatment, multi-procedure medical skin programme of age-reversing and skin perfecting treatments.


Clients first receive a 3D imaging consultation with Peter Prendergast, one of Ireland's foremost leaders in aesthetic beauty, from which a tailored programme is developed. Clients can then enjoy the benefits of advanced procedures as frequently as once every two weeks if they wish. Treatments available through the scheme include Radio Frequency, Laser, IPL, Mesotherapy and chemical peels, all of which are included in the one-fee scheme.


Salon Services recently gave their Hair and Beauty World on Dublin's Robinhood Road a make-over, and the store has now reopened employing 25 people.


The new 16, 223 sq ft store not only stocks hundreds of hair and beauty products under one roof, but is also home to two new on-site training facilities for hair and beauty courses and an expanded equipment showroom.


Global reshuffle


As part of a major buyout involving a share and investment shuffle, Wow Factor is expanding globally.


Wow Factor Europe Ltd, now owned and run by Britta Krueger, will continue to service the UK and Ireland market with existing brands Flirties, Bebeau. Tantrick, NKD, Tandare and Organics as well as focus on the international markets for lashes, waxing and all other products in the company's portfolio.


Meanwhile, Collin Brooker will form Wow Factor International to focus on expanding and promoting all spray tan related brands internationally.

Anne McDevitt tells us that she'll have some great VAT-free offers on her stand at this month's Irish Beauty Show.
