Salongenius CCTV system is proving a huge hit with Irish salons. The purpose-built video capture box captures digital video from as many cameras as are installed in the salon and stores it for up to 30 days. The live and captured video can be viewed from your home or office over your broadband connection. Stored images can be printed and saved at any stage. The system also allows till receipts from Salongenius to be superimposed on a digital video image of the point of sale area. Software supplied with the system allows you to search the bill by client name, staff name, date, time and even service performed and view the associated piece of video.
All cameras are activated by motion detection so you dont end up with hours of meaningless footage. Salongenius is very affordable and easy to install and will mean that your Money is save, your Stock is safe and your Staff are safe. Contact 01 8354894 or email enquiries@salongenius.ie for more details.
Do you know how to effectively merchandise your retail area to encourage clients to buy?
Effective merchandising views selling from the customer’s point of view, and since a huge percentage of purchases are made on impulse, merchandising strives to make purchasing as easy as possible for the customers, while increasing profits for the salon.
Do you need help with merchandising and display?

Tuesday night saw the official launch party of IFMA in Odessa, Dame St. Dublin. Founded by LA Makeup Academy, Irish and International make up professionals gathered together to celebrate the introduction of this representative organisation for the profession of 
Make-Up artists in Ireland.
While enjoying a bite to eat and a refreshing drink (or two), body painted models and dancers mingled with the guests. Everyone wanted a picture! Midway through the party Lorraine O’Neill stood before the crowd and spoke eloquently about the accomplishments of LA Make up Academy, IFMA and their future promises to Irish make up artists.
IFMA is here to raise the status of make-up artistry as a profession in Ireland, to provide advisory services to its members, to private creative and competitive platforms through which their members’ skills can be developed. The Federation provides an Advice Line whereby members can get help or advice relating to trade or employment issues. IFMA is a non – profit organization. For more details see www.ifma.ie
