“We have worked so so hard to keep the business going through such a difficult time. I couldn’t be prouder of the achievements of my incredible team.

“I think it’s important to have confidence in anything you do and no matter what it is, I’m going to give it 100 per cent. This year there has been some exceptionally talented salons in the finals, but I have confidence in my business and my team. Hopefully, we have done enough to be crowned the winners.”

During lockdowns, Kolaine set up an online shop to help the business along with holding self-care Facebook Live broadcasts to support locals unable to leave their homes during the pandemic. Over the last six months, her account called “Kolaine Advanced Skin“ on TikTok has also seen an extraordinary amount of growth – with a whopping 30 million views on one of her videos.
