This week, I’m joined by one of Australia’s top hairstylists and founder of ROBE Haircare Lauren Mackellar. After more than 16 years working in the industry and looking after the hair of Zoe Foster-Blake, Dua Lipa, Alicia Keys and more, Lauren’s life changed when she was diagnosed with a brain tumour and faced the possibility of permanent hair loss.

I chat to Lauren about her impressive career, her story of finding out she had a brain tumour, and formulating haircare products that placed her as the perfect guinea pig.

How A Brain Tumour Diagnosis Created A Hair Loss Solution With Lauren Mackellar

This week, I’m joined by Dr Jacqueline Beltz, Australian ophthalmologist and founder of OKKIYO. With two decades of experience under her belt, Jacquie has seen it all, with one thing being eye sensitivity. Instead of telling her patients to not wear makeup after surgery, Jacqui decided to formulate her own mascara so those with sensitive eyes, allergies and impairments can enjoy it regardless. I chat to Jacqui about her impressive career as an ophthalmologist, why she chose to manufacture in Italy, and her logo and packaging considerations to further assist those who are visually impaired.

Creating The Perfect Mascara For Sensitive Eyes With OKKIYO Founder, Dr. Jacqueline Beltz

This week, I’m joined by Katherine Ruiz, founder of haircare brand, People Haircare. Having grown up trying to straighten and hide her curly hair, Katherine started to embrace what she was given, while also identifying a gap in the market for hair products that give people the confidence to feel like themselves. I chat to Katherine about how the brand got picked up by Coles, why her products are different to your average supermarket shampoo and the thought process behind their fun branding!
