Salon HER expansion with two international appointments

Salon HER Welcomes Two Leading Stylists to The Floor, Marking a New Chapter of Growth

Darlinghurst, Sydney – Salon HER, the luxury salon redefining what it means to have Transformative Hair, is proud to announce the arrival of two new senior stylists whose expertise and artistry signal an exciting new chapter for the salon and its growing community.

Joining HER as Master Stylist is Valentina, a globally trained artist whose decade-long career spans working under some of London’s most iconic stylists to creating runway looks for Chanel, Hermès and Diesel. Valentina’s work is defined by a deep understanding of shape, texture and curls. With a strong specialisation in curly and textured hair, she brings both technical mastery and cultural awareness to a category Salon HER is committed to championing further.

Also joining the team is Ste, a Signature Stylist with over ten years’ experience across high-performing salons in the UK. Known for his bold blondes, transformative cuts, and signature bouncy blowdries, Ste has a natural affinity for elevated, wearable hair that clients adore. His work strikes that perfect Salon HER balance of elevated and effortless.

These new additions come at a time of continued momentum for Salon HER. Now in its fourth year and proudly exceeding all major KPIs since its official opening in January 2023, Salon HER’s growth remains focused and intentional – always rooted in client experience, community belonging, and craft.

“We’ve never hired for the sake of growth. Every new team member must bring the energy, edge and empathy that our space deserves,” says Founder and Global Educator, Michael Kelly. “Valentina and Ste bring all of that, plus a clear commitment to the kind of Transformative Hair that Salon HER is known for.”

With these appointments, Salon HER continues to invest in its reputation as one of Sydney’s leading salons – blending a warm, inclusive culture with excellence in craft and a low-key luxe service offering that has fast become a benchmark in the Australian hair industry.

Two Powerhouse Mentors Join Forces for Business Retreats

Something big is brewing in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, and it’s not your typical business conference. Angeli of Angeli Shaw Mentoring and Cait of Iconic Coaching are combining their firepower to launch IGNITE, a luxury three-day business retreat designed to tear up the rulebook and rebuild everything from the inside out. Running from Saturday 25th to Monday 27th April 2026 (with arrivals the Friday evening before), IGNITE brings together just 15 ambitious businesswomen in a stunning hinterland mansion for an experience that promises equal parts strategy and soul.

The Importance of Education for Regional Salons

Kerrie Di Mattia and Jenni Tarrant own successful salons in two very different, regional parts of Australia.  Kerrie runs the innovative Di Mattia and Co in Grafton (Northern NSW) and Jenni operates Bond Hair Religion in Canberra with an extremely mixed professional, business and rural market. They are ‘hitting the road’ with 2026 Culture + Bond Business Seminars from March to August in Geelong, Albury, Gold Coast and Newcastle.   Ready to spread their management and leadership expertise, Kerrie and Jenni share their thoughts here on how their experience can help salon leaders develop.
