Going Green
Recycling household rubbish is very much in the news at the moment - read an article from The Times here . People are being encouraged to separate items for refuse collections so that they can be recycled. With this in mind, there is an article in the 20-26 April issue of Hairdressers Journal International, Changing Habits, that looks at four salons that have 'gone green' (page 56). The Hairdressers International website includes the HJI Blog, well worth a visit for keeping up-to date with industry information.
With the huge interest in all things organic such as food and clothing, and concern about the chemicals in cosmetics and shampoo, this month sees the launch of a range of organic beauty products by Stella Mc Cartney: CARE. Make sure you that you read the Green Pound article ( page 62) in the same issue of Hairdressers Journal International for the definition of an organic beauty product and tips on how to 'go green'.

Professional Beauty is Changing
If you currently read the Library copy of Professional Beauty, Professional Nails, or Professional Spa you will notice a change from next month. A new-look magazine will be launching in May under the Professional Beauty name, combining spa, nails and beauty industry news and features. So, if you need to find information on spa, nails or beauty remember to look out for the May issue of Professional Beauty. There will still be back issues available in the Library of the individual titles. The Professional Beauty website is worth a visit if you are looking for the latest industry news or jobs available.

How to Create a Dalek - in 16 easy steps
Considering working in stage, film or television make-up sometime in the future, and/or a Doctor Who fan? The 21-27th April issue of Radio Times available in the Library at both Richmond House and Summer Row has a feature on page 9 on 'How to Make a Mutant' - not as scary as it sounds, as it's an article on using prosthetics to create a Dalek Sec hybrid.

Spa Accreditation Scheme
The mystery shopper has become an accepted, (if perhaps dreaded, by those being visited!) way of assessing the standards of a business in the hospitality trade. This month sees the launch of the VisitBritain spa accreditation scheme, where an assessor will carry out a mystery shopper visit by booking a treatment as a normal client. The following designators have been developed: Day Spa, Hotel Spa, Salon Spa, Sports and Fitness Spa, Natural Spa, Destination Spa, Resort Spa and Medi- Spa, so that consumers will understand the different types of spa available. A local spa- The De Vere Belfry Spa in Sutton Coldfield- was one that volunteered for the pilot scheme. For full details of the scheme and to download the standards click here
