Retinol named most confusing skincare ingredient 

Helen Ward, owner, Sirens Hair and Beauty, Durham: “It doesn’t help that there are experts encouraging people to use it without a consult or guidance. I see a lot of issues from clients using it because they read about it on social media.”

Witney Galant, salon manager, Mélan Skincare, South Africa: “I think it’s due to the fact that it is not explained correctly to the consumer. What is it, how should it be used, benefits of it, etc. Knowledge is power. That’s just my opinion.”

Eve Taylor interview, as the brand marks its 60th anniversary

Dawn May, owner, New Dawn Beauty, Hertford: “During my 48 years in the industry, she has always been an inspiration”

Myriam Rogerson, owner, Beauty Plus by Myriam, Bristol: “Inspirational/educational/ motivational and sooooo much more. Thank you for all that you have done for our industry over the decades.”

Sarah Walsh, owner, Beautopia, Saffron Walden: “I began using Eve Taylor products in my business almost four years ago, and was lucky enough to meet Eve at Professional Beauty at Excel in London in February this year. The way they support the therapist is fantastic and inspiring. The products are lovely to work with in treatments and my clients love them too, which has helped expand the retailing side of my business. Highly recommend.”

Rosanna Sulovari, owner, Twinoaks Beauty, Ashford: “Eve you’re such a legend! I feel privileged that you gave a lecture to my beauty course class in Canterbury, Kent in 2000/2001 and to have met you then.”
