A woman who has been hairdressing in Cairns for 36 years has revealed her next step in business. Why she made the move.

A WOMAN who has been hairdressing in Cairns for 36 years has opened up her own salon south of Cairns.

Lisa Winters who previously owned The Winchester Club Men’s Salon from 1988 to 1998 has opened LisaWho in Gordonvale.

“My recent endeavour is a set up just for one, I have one chair and one basin,” she said.

“I am definitely all about quality and I do things fully. I am not chasing a quick turnover, my clientele demographic is more about somebody who is looking for a quality haircut, lots of customer care.”

Ms Winters first started her career gaining an apprenticeship for Jan Lyons For Hair Design in the city when she was in Year 11.

Ms Winters said she was very happy with the location of her new salon.

“As far as being main street Gordonvale, adding to the street appeal of downtown Gordonvale, its developing its own vibe here,” she said.

“With our big Woolies, all of the specialty jobs along the street are doing the very best to add to the cottage vibe.”

The store is located at shop B/74 Norman Street, Gordonvale.
