.....Celebrating Passion, Creativity, and the First Birthday of Salty Blondes GC!


In the dynamic world of women entrepreneurship, every story is as unique as it is inspiring. Today, I'm thrilled to introduce you to Donna, the talented hairstylist and creative force behind Salty Blondes GC—a business that embodies female empowerment and personalised service.


Donna's journey is a testament to passion, dedication, and a profound commitment to her craft. Raised on a cotton farm in Northwest NSW, Donna's hairstyling career began with an apprenticeship in her hometown. Eager for new challenges, she later ventured to Brisbane, immersing herself in the vibrant urban lifestyle.


After several years, Donna made a pivotal move to the Gold Coast, where she now resides with her partner and beloved fur babies. It was here that Salty Blondes GC was born, inspired by Donna's love for coastal living and her passion for creating stunning blonde transformations. Donna isn't just a hairstylist; she's an artist with decades of experience in transforming hair. The name reflects Donna's passion for creating stunning blonde transformations and weaving weft extensions that leave clients feeling like beach goddesses.


This year marks a significant milestone for Donna and Salty Blondes GC—the salon's first birthday on May 9th, coinciding with Donna's impressive 28 years in the hair industry. It's no wonder Donna is my Boss Babe of May 2024! Over the past year, Donna's business has flourished as she navigates the intricacies of entrepreneurship and continues to deliver beautiful hair artistry.


What sets Salty Blondes GC apart? It's more than expert hairstyling; it's an experience tailored for each client. Donna emphasises personalised, one-on-one services in a calming yet fun atmosphere. Clients aren't rushed; they're pampered and valued, making every visit a delightful escape from their busy lives.


Donna draws inspiration from everywhere—current trends, everyday encounters—infusing creativity into every appointment. Her extensive experience allows her to visualise hair transformations instinctively, turning clients' visions into reality with each snip of the scissors and stroke of the brush.


The best part of Salty Blondes GC? The clients. For Donna, hairdressing isn't just a job; it's a way to uplift spirits and boost confidence. The tears of joy and warm hugs she receives from clients signify the profound impact of her work. Making people feel great about themselves isn't work; it's a fulfilling passion.


Juggling business and personal life can be challenging, but Donna has mastered the art. Delaying her entrepreneurial journey for years due to concerns about work-life balance, she now enjoys a well-rounded schedule, prioritising self-care and quality time with loved ones.


To me, Donna's success is measured by the love and loyalty of her clients—those who return time and time again because of how she makes them feel, her attentive listening to their desires, and her ability to deliver their desired look flawlessly. If you're eager to experience Donna's artistry firsthand, be prepared to book ahead—this incredible, award winning, hair artist is sought after for a reason!


At the core of Donna's thriving business is her authenticity and unwavering commitment to exceptional service. As a lifestyle photographer passionate about celebrating local women in business, I'm honoured to highlight Donna's remarkable achievements and the inspiring journey of Salty Blondes GC.
