Cloud Nine products now available in-store and online!

Mon, 05/07/2012

The next generation in styling has arrived. From the founders of GHD comes a styling solution ahead of its time – Cloud Nine.

We have a range of Cloud Nine hair straighteners for sale at our salons and at our online store - Mod’s Shop. The straighteners include the Cloud Nine iron, the Cloud Nine Wide and the Cloud Nine Micro.

The Cloud Nine Iron is suitable for most hair types. The iron uses state-of-the-art temperature control technology which allows you to style your hair at lower temperatures according to your hair type and style desired. Meanwhile, its unique black plates provide added shine every time you use your irons.

The Cloud Nine Wide Iron – as the name states has wider plates which is ideal for very long, very thick or hair with a tight natural curl. The wider plate means you can style more hair in record time.

The micro iron maybe small and lightweight in size but it punches well above its weight by offering the technology of a large format iron. The micro iron is ideal for shorter styles, fringes, men's hair, and is the perfect size for travel.

Whatever your hair type or length, the Cloud Nine range of professional straighteners will ensure you achieve the look you truly desire.

Other Cloud Nine products that feature in our online store include the TheO Pod, a range of rollers and the Wand.

TheO Pod has been described as a ground breaking innovation in professional styling. The pod has been designed to heat up rollers to 130° in less than four seconds. The roller cools quickly after four seconds which gives fantastic hold, definition and shine.

The rollers are sold separately from TheO Pod and come in five different sizes – 60ml, 50ml, 40ml, 30ml and 20ml. Never fear about the 130°, the rollers have been designed to heat from the core which means they won’t be hot in your hand!

Last but not least – there is the Cloud Nine Wand. The Wand has been designed to give professional curls, whether you desire loose curls, tight curls or big and bouncy curls. The Wand has three temperature settings allow you to ensure the right setting for your hair type.

Head to your nearest Mod’s Hair salon or our online Mod’s Shop to get your fix and join us on Cloud Nine.

World Vision and Mod's Hair

Fri, 04/13/2012

What could be better than helping people harness their entrepreneurial sprit? Well, that’s what we thought when we became involved in Micro Financing five years ago with Vision Fund (small loans to the poor) in Mongolia.

Micro Financing is a totally sustainable lending system to help many people in third world countries, where the majority of small business owners are women, which resonated with Julianne, as a woman in business herself! Mod’s are still convinced that this effort is what we want to commit to five years on.

The support from Mod’s Hair, and others in New Zealand, means that Vision Fund Mongolia is now able to Self-sustain, obtaining funds from commercial banks. For the poor in Mongolia this means they have an ongoing source of loans.

So, with World Vision our focus now switches to Tanzania. Tanzania is one of the poorest countries in the world, with over 50% of the population living well below the national average income of US$1.85 a day. VFT (Vision Fund Tanzania) microfinance activities can have a substantial impact on the livelihoods of farmers with positive spin-off results in the areas of children's education, nutrition, health and shelter. VTF’s research suggests that farmers who gain access to loans to acquire appropriate agricultural inputs, such as seeds and fertilizer, can at least double their income after all loan-related expenses have been repaid.

It’s easy to forget about these people who are thousands of miles away, and we get caught up in our own lives. The reward for us is the opportunity to truly change lives. What could be better than that?

So, when you buy Mod’s Product in the salons or online, a dollar for every product sold goes to World Vision, plus, the staff still contribute also.

Natasha Archer of Mod’s Hair explains how to achieve this modern bohemian look for long hair on guys and gals.

SHARNA: Prep the hair with Mod’s Hair Mousse Fixation Forte and set with hot rollers, then work through the hair with your fingers and a touch of Mod's Hair Polish to relax the curl. Backcomb the hair away from the roots to achieve a flatter side parting, then loosely drape the fringe area to the side, twist the midlengths and pin in place.

SAM: Give the hair some texture with Mod’s Hair Spray Mistral and iron into small 'S' bends to create a flat wave. Finally, work through some Mod's Hair Mat Modeler to separate and define the waves.
