Sassoon Academy is launching ABC: Cutting Hair the Sassoon Way. The innovative book demonstrates the three fundamental cutting techniques—lines, graduation and layering—represented by the letters ABC, which in their purest form, are integral to the continuing Sassoon story. The landmark techniques are fully illustrated with technical, step-by-step photographs. The book is an essential educational tool that, when used in conjunction with the ABC DVD series, forms a complete cutting education system for everyone from the beginner to the experienced stylist looking for new insight into these groundbreaking techniques. sassoon.com —M.D.

Helping Hand

A beautiful manicure or pedicure should make you feel good, but for those who suffer from debilitating diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, Parkinson's or multiple sclerosis, the experience can often provoke anxiety. Davida Baur, an esthetician in Satellite Beach, FL, invented a product she calls Angel's Hands after one of her client's rheumatoid arthritis prevented her from keeping her fingers separated during a manicure. Baur's invention helps separate the fingers in a comfortable but firm cushion that keeps the fingers stabilized until the polish is dry. angelshandsllc.com —C.W.

DeJoria is a major supporter of Last Chance for Animals, the National Humane Society and the World Wildlife Federation, so the line made sense. John Capra and Scott Woolley, DeJoria's longtime friends and business partners, run the company's day-to-day operations. paulmitchell.com —M.D.
