Jodie Gravino: The Salon-owner Bringing World-Class Haircare to Mackay

When Jodie Gravino chose to leave school and pursue a career in hairdressing, she knew that she was forging a different path for herself. She just didn’t realise how far that path would take her.  

‍

Now, she’s the proud owner of Dunn & Co Hair Studio.

“I’m proud to be building a business that reflects my values of hard work, kindness, consistency, and genuine care for people,” Jodie said.  

“Taking over a business came with challenges, risks, and plenty of lessons, but I have never been afraid to back myself. I believe that when you truly love what you do, and you’re willing to work for it, incredible things can happen.

“One of the proudest moments of my journey so far was being named a Top 3 Finalist in the Mackay Region Chamber of Commerce Best in Business Awards. To stand alongside some of Mackay’s most respected businesses was an incredible honour.

“I am passionate about building a salon where both clients and staff feel valued. My vision is to continue growing a team of talented hairdressers who share the same passion for making people feel their best, while creating a workplace where people can learn, grow, and build rewarding careers.

“As a proud Wella salon, we are committed to using premium professional products and staying at the forefront of our industry.”

Up next for Jodie is travel; heading to the Wella Professionals Forum in South Korea. Everything she learns, she will bring back home to her team and clients in Mackay.
