Host Brayden Lee sits down with Grace Kelly, the award-winning colourist and founder of Shag Hair Newcastle, to unpack one of the most inspiring salon stories in Australia.At just 22, Grace stumbled into salon ownership — and what started as a small rented space soon grew into a powerhouse brand known for its feminine explosion of pinks, greens, and fearless energy. Together with her business partner, Grace expanded Shag Hair into a second location, launched Shag Education, and built one of the country’s most recognisable salon aesthetics.When the dreaded C-word (COVID) hit, Grace turned challenge into innovation — transforming Shag Hair into a co-working haven for stylists who wanted freedom without the overheads.Now, after starting a family, Grace opens up about her biggest pivot yet — learning to say no, embracing slower seasons, and discovering that stepping back doesn’t mean stepping away. In a heartfelt conversation, she reveals what it took to sell her salon, hand over the reins to her team, and redefine success on her own terms.Grace also teases what’s next — from hosting the styling stage at Made for Regionals to building her personal brand and exploring new creative opportunities in Sydney.💡 In this episode, you’ll hear: • How Shag Hair grew from a 20-something’s dream to a cult brand. • Why co-working salons are shaping the future of the industry. • The power of saying no — and how motherhood shifted Grace’s mindset. • What it really takes to sell your salon and step into your next chapter.🎁 PLUS: Stick around till the end for your chance to win a 3-month subscription to Your Salon Loyalty, the digital loyalty card made for modern salons.✨ Subscribe for more raw, real conversations with the biggest names in hair and beauty — and hit the 🔔 to catch every new episode of Can We Go Live?Can We Go Live is powered by Your Salon Support.
