She has had a diverse career that has seen her awarded some of the industry’s highest accolades such as IHA Best International Women’s Commercial Collection of the Year & AHFA’s WA Hairdresser Of The Year. Her background in education, platform experience and salon ownership has seen her become a regular guest artist at expos all over the country.

Lisa opened her first solo hair salon at age 20. By 22 she owned a commercial premise, 2 salons and a barbershop. In amongst the growth of her businesses she had 2 children, her eldest diagnosed with severe Autism at age 2. The impossible juggle of business, a fifo husband and her son’s therapy sessions led to the decision to take a step back from her businesses and pursue an industry educator role, with family friendly hours and a stable income as a single mother. Then Covid hit...resulting in a devastating loss of tenants in her commercial premise. Lisa needed to quickly reassess her business model, the trigger for her latest venture - A freelance space for hairstylists to work and create their own business from within!
