MEDIA RELEASE: Local Salon shines on global stage!

17 Sep 2024

Just Cuts Campbelltown has gained global recognition at the recent Just Cuts International Conference in Fiji. The locally owned and operated Salon took home three prestigious awards, including the Owners Choice Award, Best Community Contribution, and Hair Stylist of the Year.

Salon Owner Joanne Ashkar, who has worked at Just Cuts Campbelltown for over 25 years, working her way up and taking over the Salon in 2016, expressed her pride in her team's achievements.

"This recognition means the world to us. Winning these prestigious awards reflects our team's hard work and dedication to both our Clients and our local community. I am so proud of the entire team, especially for their ongoing commitment to giving back."

Joanne highlighted their long-standing involvement in the local community, particularly through their work with We Are Community Incorporated, a charity that provides services to homeless individuals.

For over five years, the Salon has volunteered monthly, offering free haircuts at the charity's roast dinner service for people experiencing homelessness. "We have a dedicated team who always put their hands up to help, and that community spirit is what makes our Salon so special," said Joanne.

In addition to community work, the Salon also supports the Macarthur Breast Cancer Gala, an annual event held at the Campbelltown Cube Convention Centre, which raised over $140,000 last year.

Local Stylist Cheng Cruz Canlas, who only joined Just Cuts only two and a half years ago when she moved to Australia, was named Hair Stylist of the Year for 2024.

"I'm incredibly honoured and still in shock. It has been such a rewarding journey. I'm just so grateful to be recognised and to have received all my support from Joanne and my team leader, Lucinda, since joining the team," Cheng said.

Just Cuts Salon Owner Joanne Ashkar said, "Cheng has worked so hard, and watching her grow has been fantastic. She is also one of the team members who is always putting her hand up for our community service projects."

Amber Manning, CEO of Just Cuts, commented, "Our annual conference is an opportunity to celebrate the remarkable achievements within our network. Just Cuts Campbelltown's success at the gala is a testament to the hard work and commitment of the entire team. Winning both the Owners Choice Award and Best Community Contribution reflects the strong community support and consistent excellence in client care."

More about Just Cuts

Just for you. Since 1982.

In 1982, Denis McFadden had to wait three months to vacate a lease he no longer needed as he had already moved his Sydney salon business. To keep things simple, he held a promotion offering a 'no appointment' $7 Style Cut for all Clients.

The response was outstanding, and the Just Cuts brand was born that day.

Just Cuts is an Australian hairdressing franchise that bridges the gap between a barber and a high-end hair salon. With salons in every state of Australia, on both the North and South islands of New Zealand and the United Kingdom, it is the largest hairdressing company in the Southern Hemisphere.

Based on a fixed-price, no-appointment system, Just Cuts offers clients affordable haircuts from fully qualified hairdressers and performs over 100,000 Style Cut cuts per week worldwide.
