From Stylists to Franchise Owners: Lekha and Ryan's Award-Winning Start at Just Cuts Newmarket

09 Oct 2026

Celebrating new beginnings, a shared passion for hairdressing an a brigh future in franchising. Congratulations to Lekha and Ryan, the proud franchise owners of Just Cuts Newmarket and recipients of the Newcomer of the Year award for Australia and New Zealand!

For Lekha and Ryan, becoming Just Cuts franchise owners marks an exciting new chapter in their careers and the opening of their very first Just Cuts Salon.

With a strong foundation in hairdressing and a shared commitment to delivering great salon experiences, they have embraced the opportunity to turn their passion for the industry into business ownership.

Lekha began her Just Cuts journey as a Stylist, gaining valuable experience within the brand before taking the next step into franchising. Ryan also brought his hairstyling experience to the partnership, having worked as a Stylist outside the Just Cuts network. Together, they combine their skills, industry knowledge and enthusiasm to build a successful future at Just Cuts Newmarket.

What sets Lekha and Ryan apart is their hands-on approach to salon ownership. Both remain actively involved on the salon floor as Stylists, while also leading and managing their team. By balancing their passion for hairdressing with the responsibilities of running a business, they are building a salon culture grounded in teamwork, dedication and a commitment to their customers.

Their Newcomer of the Year award is a fantastic recognition of the enthusiasm, hard work and dedication they have brought to their first salon and their journey with Just Cuts.

Their story is a great example of how industry experience, a passion for hairdressing and a willingness to embrace new opportunities can create an exciting pathway into franchise ownership.

Congratulations again to Lekha and Ryan on this well-deserved achievement. We look forward to seeing them continue to grow and thrive at Just Cuts Newmarket as they build their future as franchise owners.
