MASTER STYLIST. EXTENSIONIST. EDUCATOR.
Whether you’re dreaming of your own flawless transformation or looking to master the craft yourself, you're in the right place.
From living room, to legacy...
Josie’s story isn’t just about hair -
it’s about resilience, consistency, and turning passion into possibility.
It all began with a single braid - a small act that soon became a calling. What started as styling hair for family and friends quickly grew into something bigger: a way to connect, to uplift, and to celebrate beauty in all its forms.
Over the years, Josie’s dedication and artistry transformed that humble beginning into a thriving six-figure salon, a national education platform, and a career that has inspired stylists across Australia.
Today, she leads several successful brands - including Cairns Hair Braiding & Extensions and Enlightened Hair Extensions - and continues to share her gift with others.
Through her teaching, mentoring, and hands-on work behind the chair, Josie empowers both clients and stylists to feel confident, capable, and truly seen.
No matter what she's doing, her philosophy is simple: hair can change not just how you look, but how you feel - and that’s power worth sharing.
