The power of a good hair day is not to be underestimated, and Botanical Hair Collective has made it their business to help people find that feeling, whether they need a big, bold change, a simple refresh or relaxing pamper.

‍

What sets Botanical Hair apart is their commitment to using only natural and organic products, which reduces the chemical stress on their clients' hair and bodies, ensuring the hair that walks out of the salon not only looks but feels healthy.

‍

Their colour range from Oway is organic and entirely plant-based; even the bleach is ammonia-free, with Kukui butter as its main ingredient.

Botanical Hair is a two-woman show, run by Chloe, the owner and senior stylist, and her third-year apprentice, Bonny.

‍

Chloe looks after her own clients, as well as overseeing Bonny's training and taking care of the behind-the-scenes work. Passionate about blondes and colours, Chloe is chatty and bubbly, offering a killer cut and even better conversation on the side.

‍

Bonny loves all things styling and colour. She offers all services at an emerging stylist price and will be offering heavily discounted prices for her foiling training. Following in her boss's footsteps, she is welcoming, chatty and outgoing.

‍

Chloe's dream of building a hair business began when she was a kid, looking up to her hairstylist older sister. She started her apprenticeship in Airlie Beach with an amazing boss who worked with organic hair products, and realised that helping clients make healthy hair choices was a path she wanted to continue to pursue.

Chloe moved from Airlie Beach to Mackay and expanded her skills by working in a range of salons using different tools. It was through these experiences that Chloe realised she was ready to have her own salon.

‍

Creating a space where clients felt appreciated and relaxed, alongside stylists who felt supported, was the goal Chloe set at start of her career. As the years have passed, the smiles, laughs and confidence are what Chloe enjoys the most, alongside creatingiconic looks.

‍

“Seeing the brightness that comes from my clients when they get that look they’re after always makes my day, making it easier and easier every day to fall deeper in love with creating gorgeous hair,” Chloe said.  

‍

“Another thing that is very special to me is watching Bonny grow and fall in love with hairdressing every day, like I did when I was an apprentice.”

‍

Chloe's salon sticks to an effective framework: organic, relaxing and grounded. From her products and styles to the way she makes her clients feel confident, her main priority is always the client in the chair.

‍

“We strongly believe in quality over quantity, and if they come to us, they won’t be just another number. We like to make connections with our clients.”
