Meet Our Team

✨ Hi, I’m Matasha – founder of The Curly Collective! ✨

With 20 years of experience in the hairdressing industry, I’ve been lucky enough to work in high-end salons, on runway shows, and even in film and TV. But my true passion is right here—helping people love their hair.

I’m certified in Curly Hair Cutting and obsessed with all things curls, blondes, balayage, and hair extensions. I created The Curly Collective to be a warm, welcoming space where every hair type is celebrated. My favourite part? Seeing clients leave the salon glowing with confidence!

Hi, I’m Grace! I’m in my 3rd year of hairdressing and so excited to be joining the team my at The Curly Collective 💗

What I love most about my job is the confidence and happiness my clients feel when they leave the salon. It’s the best part of what I do! My absolute favourite service is foiling; I can’t wait to create beautiful, customised looks that make you shine.

I’m looking forward to meeting you in the salon and being part of your hair journey!

Hi, I'm Tania!

Hairdressing has been my passion for over 25 years, and what an incredible journey it has been.

I began my career in Adelaide, where I completed my Hair and Beauty pre-vocational course before undertaking a four-year apprenticeship. After qualifying, I purchased my first salon and proudly owned and operated it for six years.

My journey then took me back to my hometown in country South Australia, where I bought and managed two successful salons. Over the next seven years, I built an amazing team, mentored staff, and continued growing my love for the industry.

Along the way, I've had the opportunity to travel and work as a hairdresser across Australia, gaining invaluable experience and meeting wonderful people.

For the past six years, I've been happily settled just outside Yeppoon, where I've been enjoying family life while continuing to do what I love.

Now, I'm so excited to begin my next chapter, working alongside Matasha and the wonderful team at The Curly Collective. I can't wait to meet new clients, create beautiful hair, and help everyone feel confident and amazing.

I look forward to welcoming you into my chair and being part of your hair journey!
