CELEBRATING 30 YEARS OF JUST CUTS FRANCHISING A celebration of our first ever Owner, the brand and YOU

Denis McFadden moved his full-service salon to new premises, and with the remaining three months on the old premises he held a promotion offering a ‘no appointment, $6 Style Cut for all Clients. The response was outstanding and the idea of Just Cuts was born.

Just Cuts ventured across the ditch! The very first Just Cuts New Zealand opened in AucklandSt Lukes Shopping Centre.

Just Cuts launched 2018 with a bang by opening the first Just Cuts United Kingdom Salon in Intu-Lakeside Essex,

1983 The first Just Cuts salon opened its doors to the public and in 1990, the first Just Cuts Franchise opened at Engadine in Sydney’s southern suburbs; a salon that is still successfully owned by the first ever Just Cuts franchisee. 13th January.

Jump forward 27 years, Just Cuts ushered in a new era, building a state of the art warehouse and international distribution centre in Caringbah, NSW to support the JUSTICE Professional range, Just Cuts’ exclusive range of professional haircare and styling products. The warehouse is a one stop shop for all salons. 2020 Today, Just Cuts continues to keep the focus on making things easy for Stylists, Owners and Clients. With big things planned for continued international growth and innovation, Just Cuts is a brand that, just like hair, continues to grow.

Just Cuts Engadine owner Leigh-Anne Brosens is celebrating 30 years as a successful Franchise Owner. Leigh-Anne opened the first Just Cuts franchise, deciding to open her own salon while working as an apprentice with Just Cuts Founder and Managing Director Denis McFadden.

“I started working with Denis as an apprentice when I was 17 – I worked with him for 8 years and helped run 3 of his salons,” says Leigh-Anne.

“I fell pregnant at 23 years old, and I remember talking to my husband about opening up my own salon so I wouldn’t have to be at work every day. I asked Denis and I’m so grateful he gave me a go.”

“On opening day I was 7 months pregnant, and we were so busy that Denis helped me cut hair on the floor for a week. There were subsequently all these Clients requesting “the boy” to cut their hair.”

Leigh-Anne shares her Just Cuts 30 year anniversary with “When I first started in the salon with Leigh-Anne, I was surprised at how popular it was,” says Lynette. “In other salons you might be split between 4-5 different Clients at once, but at Just Cuts you concentrate on one Client’s hair until you’re done. I think that personal touch will never go out of style.”

Leigh-Anne says the Just Cuts team have managed to minimise the impact of COVID-19 on her business. “While we took the decision to close for 6 weeks, it was like Christmas the day we reopened. There was an hour and a half wait every day for two weeks,” says LeighAnne. “Clients have really appreciated the strong stance Just Cuts have taken on keeping both themselves and my Team safe.”

“We’ve picked up a lot of new Clients post-COVID, and business is back to normal even with social distancing restrictions limiting how many Stylists can be cutting at a given time.”

“The Academy Team have been vital in ensuring we have the marketing and support required to educate our Clients on health and hygiene policies, and maintain the confidence that we’re COVID-safe. Whether it’s providing masks, Client information videos, exclusive JUSTICE Professional products or PR support, everything is always taken care of.”

“That’s never changed in 30 years.”
