MHAIRI MCQUEEN
Mhairi is our dedicated salon owner and Cutting/Styling Specialist. Moving to Melbourne in 2010 from Scotland, Mhairi wasted no time in making her mark on the Australian hair industry. She established herself as a successful business owner and created a home away from home for other hairdressers looking to work and live in Australia.
Mhairi firmly believes that education is the key to success and is essential for personal and professional development. That's why she prioritises continuous learning and career paths for her team. She motivates and inspires her team through training and wellness days, where they engage in in-salon training or bring in facilitators for wellness practices and practical training.
Her leadership approach can be summed up by her icon, Richard Branson's quote: "Train people well enough so they can leave, treat them well enough so they don't want to."
Mhairi's work has taken her to international fashion events in Berlin, Paris, and London. She has also worked closely with industry legend Kevin Murphy and his team at events like Melbourne Fashion Week and Kevin Murphy's campaign shoots here in Australia.
With Mhairi at the helm, Koh Salon is not just a place for hair transformations but also a sanctuary of growth, inspiration, and care. Mhairi's passion for learning and dedication to her team's happiness and well-being is her true calling in the industry.
Equally, she feels grateful to be surrounded by so many strong, funny women in her life.
