Here’s a story you’ll definitely want to share with every Stylist you meet… Who would have thought that a visit to your local hairdresser could prove to be a life-saving decision? That’s exactly happened when John Whittington visited Just Cuts ™ Wollongong in April this year.

During his haircut, his Stylist Ingrid Mallia Panozzo (pictured), noticed an odd lump on John’s scalp. Ingrid didn’t like the look of it and insisted that John have it checked out. And he did! It turns out that this was the best decision he’s ever made. “I was diagnosed with an advanced malignant melanoma. I had two operations soon after the diagnosis – firstly to have the tumour removed and another to remove some affected glands”, says John. He also said that if Ingrid hadn’t been so caring, sincere and insistent and told him that there was a doctor’s surgery just downstairs, he would never have had it checked out.

And of course, luck or fate must have played a part. Ingrid works in a few Just Cuts TM

salons owned by Lynne Ryan in the area and just happened to be in Wollongong on the day John decided to visit.

Talk about a life-changing salon visit! If there’s

one thing we can all learn from this, it’s to

make sure you’re always on the lookout during

your Style Cuts TM

cut service!

Here’s a feel good Just Cuts TM

new Owner story that we think you’ll love… Earlier this year, Bronwyn and Kevin Grounsell purchased Just Cuts TM Port Macquarie Settlement City, Port Macquarie Port Central and Forster from Noel and Jenny Gregory. They had only moved to Port Macquarie from Sydney before Christmas in 2015 with their young children, Brendan and Isabella. Bronwyn had been a Team Leader for Anna and John Duric in Rouse Hill for three years before she started working as a Stylist in Port Macquarie and Forster. Then they decided it was time to make the move to Owners!

They would like to take a moment to thank their amazing salon Teams for all their hard work – they couldn’t do it without you! Their daughter Isabella now works as Receptionist in the salons and they are enjoying every minute of their new lives as Owners with the support of the Academy Team. How’s that for inspirational?! We love welcoming new Owners into the family! We love this story shared to us by Darren and Kristy Mant, the Owners of Just Cuts TM

Marrickville… Their family recently visited Navala, a small village in Fiji, where they met a young hearing impaired local named Merekalita who Darren simply couldn’t forget. After weeks of liaising with the National Acoustics Laboratory in Miranda, Sydney, Darren was able to arrange for Merekalita to receive a “Pocket Talker” hearing advice to help amplify sounds to headphones. We’ve received word that Merekalita is overjoyed with her new hearing toy and that the smile on her face says it all. Merekalit’s mum couldn’t believe her eyes when her daughter first starting responding to her questions and sends her most heart felt thanks to Darren and his family.

On behalf of the entire Just Cuts TM

family,

we’re also sending out a huge THANK YOU to the Mants for reminding us of the overwhelming amount of good in the world!

Happy birthday to beautiful Marie, a loyal Client of Just Cuts TM
