Just Cuts has named its top-performing salons, franchisees and team members at its annual awards night.
The awards capped off Just Cuts’ four-day conference in Queenstown, the first national network event for new CEO Andrew Kidd.
“Spending the past four days with our franchise owners reinforced what attracted me to the role: Just Cuts strong culture, a simple effective business model, and a real appetite to grow,” Kidd said.
“I look forward to getting on the road to meet owners in person right across Australia and New Zealand, because the best ideas come from listening to the people running the salons every day.”
