48 | LUXlife Magazine Most Community-Focused Hair Boutique 2024 - New South Wales Luxury sustainable hair boutique Mousse & Co is an all-inclusive brand that works hard every single day to promote a more sustainable way of hairdressing that it hopes will be adopted right across the industry. Leveraging the skills of talented stylists, all of whom are constantly seeking to better themselves, this community-focused hair boutique in the small, semi-rural town of Windsor, New South Wales, is guided by the belief that every person deserves a great looking head of hair styled just for them. Offering a full-service approach to hairdressing that encompasses styling, cutting, colouring, smoothing, scalp care, and even extensions made from human hair, Mousse & Co promises its clients outstanding results, professional hair products, and a luxurious experience, all in a relaxed environment where their cares can simply wash away. From a simple cut and blow-dry through to creative colouring that is bold and yet highly wearable, the team here go above and beyond to see that every request is catered to. In essence, Mousse & Co strives to help people create more vibrant, refined version of themselves, empowering them to look and feel their absolute best, something that starts with having great hair. To achieve this for a client, the team start by connecting with them, listening to their wants and needs and understanding what it is that they are seeking to get out of their visit. This highly personalised approach is cherished by the salon’s clients, with Mousse & Co currently having more than 120 five-star Google reviews. To maintain such high standards, staff take part in year-round upskilling sessions ran by The Haircare Group, with these taking place both in and out of the salon. Owner Monique Calcagno is also a frequent traveller, and across her Australian and European adventures, she discovers and brings back the latest styles and trends which are then shared with her employees. Moreover, as part of H Team 2024, Monique is a member of a group of 22 fellow stylists who travel the length of Australia to train other hairdressers. Far from the only way that Mousse & Co gives back, Monique and her team also pride themselves on running a totally sustainable hair salon. This ongoing mission can be seen across every aspect of the business, from the high-quality, well-sourced products that it uses through to it finding a way to recycle all of its waste. In an industry that contributes massively to landfill, Mousse & Co is seeking to turn the tide, paving the way for others to reduce their carbon footprint in the same way that it has, showing that anything is possible. Every member of the team is totally committed to achieving these sustainability goals, highlighting the synergy that exists within Mousse & Co. Across the board, Monique ensures that everyone is on the same page, something she achieves by holding regular team meetings that are grounded in open communication and a freedom of expression. Monique even took her team on a trip to Bali for a bonding experience, allowing them to take a break from their regular schedules and experience something inspiring and life-affirming. Having overcome four lots of floods, fires, and of course the Covid-19 pandemic in recent years, Mousse & Co’s team are today stronger than ever before. Though at times it felt like the salon was just being pushed back, it was the joint effort of both the team and the local community that saw the business pull through. By putting one foot in front of the other and not giving up, Mousse & Co learned how to plan accordingly and stay positive in the face of adversity, traits that have contributed to it breaking down every obstacle in its way. With these difficult times now firmly behind it, Mousse & Co is set to undergo expansion in the near future, with Monique seeking out a bigger and more collaborative space for her hair boutique to continue to thrive. By bringing in more creatives that can work well together but also under their own steam, more amazing work can be brought to life that will transform the lives of its many happy clients. As Mousse & Co plots the course for this transformation, we celebrate it as the Most Community-Focused Hair Boutique 2024 - New South Wales.
