Just Cuts’ new kiosk concept
Published May 17, 2012 | 
The kiosk is designed to attract time poor consumers and the launch store is located near the food court.
Denis McFadden CEO and founder of Just Cuts said “The Just Cuts kiosk will compliment existing Just Cuts salons within a shopping centre. The contemporary design is beautiful but at the end of the day this is about convenience for our cients and the kiosk provides this by being easily accessible to those running a quick errand in the centre or grabbing a bite to eat in the food court.”

Hairhouse Warehouse – expanding
Published April 26, 2012 | A lot can happen in 20 years. For franchise Hairhouse Warehouse, it has involved the opening of more than 130 stores across the country, the initiation of over 100 franchisees and the evolution of a brand from a single store in Knox City, to a huge network of hair and beauty one-stop shops.
Tony Lattouf, who co-founded the business with brother Joseph, remembers when the pair dived into business ownership, first with the Lattouf salon brand, then with Hairhouse Warehouse in 1992. “We opened our first salon in about 1983 and that was a Lattouf in Doncaster. We had no customers. We were both young businessmen. I used to walk out in the mall and say to a lady or gentleman ‘Excuse me, my name is Tony, why don’t I give you a complimentary wash and blow wave?’ and they’d think I was trying to make a pass at them,” he says.

Magazines will always have a place
Published April 17, 2012 | In the basement of a London bar, gathered like a resistance movement or thralls to some secret perversion, 100 people have come together to discuss their passion for magazines. They particularly like the independently made, keep-it-on-your-bookshelf-afterwards type of mag, but organisers have encouraged the aficionados to share any and all new treasures they’ve found, regardless of subject or appearance. So long as it’s made of paper and ink.
