Ron King: Beauty That Goes the Distance
by The Style King/Ron King on Monday, July 26, 2010
Ron King has worked as a hairstylist, transforming people’s appearances, for more than 20 years. With a growing celebrity clientele, King travels the world taking inspiration from different cultures and countries. Along the way, he has developed his own “easy wear” style philosophy which plays up a woman’s natural hair texture and pairs it with natural-looking makeup that’s easy to apply. This mantra led him to launch a signature line of cosmetics for women who want to look pulled together but who are are short on time. King has worked with some of the most respected names in the industry, including L’Oreal Professional, Ted Gibson, Eva Scrivo and Rick Wellman.
As salon owners and stylists, we want hair and beauty products that last a long time or at least have multiple uses … You know, things that give us the most bang for our buck and offer quick, easy, affordable solutions to beauty supply issues. Enter my many years of salon and stylist experience. As an entrepreneurial stylist, I know what it’s like to want to cut costs and only purchase products for your salon that are truly versatile. Below, I’ve put together a few quick tips of the trade to get the most use out of your beauty and hair stockroom.
1. Makeup artists, I can’t stress this enough. Good makeup is expensive but worth it. In that spirit, splurge on the best makeup you can get, but also find multiple uses for basic products. For example, when you are done with a tube of mascara, simply rinse the wand off, dry and use as a particularly helpful brow groomer. You can also mist it with water or spray and work on your client’s hairline to cancel out the frizzies and fuzzies that often sprout there with it. For bronzer that doesn’t match your client’s complexion or is simply too dark for a certain time of year, mix the remainder with some light moisturizer for a quick, dewy and universally flattering tinted moisturizer or use as a highlighter on the body.
2. Another quick tip: When you are nearly done with your good lipstick, but there is still a clump wedged in the tube, swipe a q-tip or lipstick brush with some lip gloss and use as a colored gloss on your clients’ lips.
3. We all drop powder compacts sometimes, whether they be finishing powder, blush or bronzer. Usually, these little suckers break into a million pieces and nice powder is wasted. Not so when you apply some rubbing alcohol to the rearranged powder compact and press it in to set. The alcohol reforms the powder and it will be ready to use again soon.
4. Finally, buy a conditioner for the salon that’s too rich or you just don’t like? Take it home and use as shaving cream when shaving your legs, ladies. At least, it’s not going to waste and you will have silky smooth stems. Also, if you’re a manicurist and your polishes are drying up and getting clumpy on you, just add a few drops of nail polish thinner and watch them regain their original consistency.
I hope these little hints serve you well in all your beauty endeavors!
