AVEDA AUSTRALIA BRINGS NATURAL TEXTURE TO LIFE AT FNFD RUNWAY: RECLAMATION

Aveda Australia partnered with FNFD (First Nations Fashion +Design) for Reclamation , a sovereign First Nations runway presented at Artspace Woolloomooloo, with hair direction led by renowned Aveda Artist Darren Summors. Inspired by the individuality and natural texture of each model, the hair direction embraced effortless movement and lived-in texture while creating a cohesive visual story across the runway.

Presented by FNFD as a powerful act of cultural authority, Reclamation brought together six First Nations designers and 24 Indigenous models in a showcase celebrating storytelling, sovereignty and creative independence within Australian fashion.

Led by Darren Summors and executed by the Aveda Style Team, the hair direction centered around enhancing each model’s natural texture rather than transforming it, creating an organic and elevated aesthetic that complemented the individuality of each designer’s collection.

“The inspiration for today’s show was all about natural texture,” said Darren Summors. “I wanted to really enhance and embrace as many of the natural textures as we could. We were showcasing six individual designers, so I wanted to create a look that was cohesive throughout but still maintained that natural element to it.”

To achieve the runway looks, the Aveda Style Team relied on a selection of backstage essentials including Aveda’s new Tousle Texture Dry Texture Spray, Control Force™ Firm Hold Hair Spray, Miraculous Oil, and the popular Be Curly Advanced™ collection, creating soft texture and defined movement throughout the show.

Aveda’s newly launched Tousle Texture Dry Texture Spray was instrumental backstage, delivering airy texture and lived-in volume without dryness or residue. The vegan formula features zeolite minerals to create lightweight texture and cassava extract to help boost volume and maintain styles with a soft, touchable finish. The partnership reflects Aveda’s continued support of artistry, individuality and creative expression within the Australian fashion industry, while celebrating texture in all its forms.

The Retention Advantage.

Why every generation requires a different approach. By Emma Hindmarsh Conan, Founder of SomeplaceGood and GM of Murad Australia Two clients. Two consecutive appointments. The same concern noted on the intake form, the same treatment booked, the same expectation of expertise waiting in the room. But the similarity ends there. The first client is 26. She found your clinic on TikTok, has already watched multiple videos explaining the treatment she’s booked, and arrives fluent in ingredient language. She references actives before you’ve even touched her skin. She’s not here to be convinced. Rather, she’s here to assess whether your expertise adds anything beyond what she already knows. The second client is 54. She booked because her GP mentioned your name. She doesn’t want an ingredient lecture or a deep dive into formulations. What she wants is reassurance that you’ve seen this before, that you understand what’s happening in her skin,

Sell the Glow, Not the Glycolic

By Rachel Medlock. Your treatment menu is a list of vehicles. A 60-minute facial, a skin consultation, a 12-week program. They’re all ways of getting your client from where they are now to where they want to be. Nobody is buying the vehicle. They’re buying the destination. Your client isn’t awake at night thinking, “I wish someone would perform a 60-minute facial on me for only $199.” They’re thinking, “I wish my skin looked like it did five years ago.” Nobody has ever added a microdermabrasion to their vision board. They’ve added the skin that comes after it. The salons booking out understand this distinction instinctively. The ones struggling with conversions are almost always leading with the vehicle rather than the destination. They’re selling the plane ticket without mentioning the holiday. There’s a neurological reason for this, and it goes beyond marketing theory. When a client decides to book, the

The Evolution of Davines Essential Haircare

For a Good Life. In an industry constantly chasing reinvention, Davines has taken a different approach. Not louder, trendier, or dramatically different for the sake of relevance. Instead, the Italian haircare brand has focused on evolution. Thoughtful evolution. The bottles still look like Davines. The minimalist aesthetic remains instantly recognisable on salon shelves around the world, and the names people know and trust are still at the heart of the collection. But internally, almost everything has evolved. The formulas have evolved. The ingredients have evolved. The sourcing has evolved. The packaging has evolved. And underneath all of that sits something even bigger, a deeper understanding of not just what Davines creates, but why it creates it in the first place. It feels less like a marketing statement and more like a philosophy. “We believe that a good life is the harmony of purpose and wonder. And that we are all unique
