Queenslander Jo Pasion-Roberts entered a male-dominated industry in 2022 by acquiring an existing barber and moustachery business, which she has since infused with her own unique style.


KEY POINTS
  • Around 63,500 people were employed as hairdressers across Australia in 2021. This number is expected to increase to 69.6 thousand by 2026, according to Statista.
  • According to Roberts, 'belief in oneself' is crucial when creating your niche in the grooming industry.
  • Roberts spent over $45,000 AUD to purchase an established grooming business, assuming control of 'Mustachery on Brunswick' in 2022.
