Melanie has led En Route Hair and Beauty for 28 years, but it was a life-changing trip to the rainforest that truly reshaped her perspective. Witnessing firsthand the environmental impact of everyday business decisions inspired her to introduce bold, meaningful and sustainable changes within her own salon.
Together, Melanie and her Salon Manager, Shannon Giblin, have transformed their business into an industry-leading example of what responsible, future-focused hairdressing looks like — earning accolades including Sustainable Salon of the Year, alongside recognition for their team culture and creative excellence.
The success of their salon sparked a bigger mission. Through En Route to Sustainability, they are now helping the wider industry improve business performance, strengthen reputation, build client loyalty and take genuine environmental responsibility.
