Happy first birthday to the upgraded Colour Studio by Ruwan, which opened its doors in the second half of 2020 in Queensland, and delayed celebrating until COVID restrictions eased enough to throw a proper soiree for both clients and staff. The blonde-specialist premium hair salon literally rolled out the red carpet to host a party at the salon, toasting to the salon’s success despite the difficulties of the pandemic.
Operating previously for six years, the salon moved to a larger premises in August 2020 to cater to its increasing clientele, becoming the larger, new and improved Colour Studio by Ruwan.
“Running a small business can be difficult at the best of times,” said salon owner Ruwan Fernando. “However, with restrictions changing all the time and uncertainty about whether we might lockdown again, the pandemic certainly added extra challenges.”
“Our stylists have been so resilient and willing to work with any new requirement asked of them. All of our clients have been so supportive as well, really patient and positive even when things were uncertain. We’ve had a hugely positive year and that’s really because of our great community. During, and now coming out of the pandemic, I think everyone just wants to spoil themselves, to look and feel their absolute best. We’re excited for the future, it’s really something to celebrate,” he added.
Colour Studio by Ruwan employs six stylists and is renowned for blondes, precision cutting styling and colour transformations in Carina. 2022 looks to be another big year for the salon.
“Everyone seems to be feeling really hopeful, in the industry and in the community,” Ruwan said. “It’s a good feeling to have, especially after the last few years.”
