As we gear up to celebrate International Women's Day 2024 on March 8th, let's raise a toast to the tenacious trailblazers who lead with flair, wit, and grace. Here's to Nicky James-Baird and Jodene Fendall, the wonderful women behind New Zealand Brand Holistic Hair, whose transformative work has not only revolutionised hair care but also uplifted countless spirits (and strands) along the way!
In the realm of hair care, Holistic Hair have not only pioneered innovative products but have also cultivated a brand centered on sustainability, wellness, and empowerment.
For Nicky and Jodene, wellness isn't just a buzzword; it's a full-on lifestyle. Picture Nicky breezing through her day with a brisk walk, a spot of strength training, and some blissful screen-free moments. Meanwhile, Jodene's all about striking that perfect balance with gym sessions, wholesome eats, and a sprinkle of mindfulness thrown in for good measure.
And when it comes to post-summer detox, these queens of self-care have got it down pat! Nicky swears by the magic of quality sleep, letting her body rejuvenate and recharge while she catches some Z's. Meanwhile, Jodene's hydration game is on point, with gallons of water flushing out toxins and leaving her feeling as fresh as a daisy.
Approaching their 10-year milestone of owning Holistic Hair, Nicky and Jodene have learned a thing or two about riding the waves of entrepreneurship. Their secret sauce? Adaptability and a hearty embrace of change. Because let's face it, in the rollercoaster ride of business, flexibility is key!
“Building and growing a business requires resilience and determination. There have been challenges along the way, but by persevering through tough times, we have been able to overcome obstacles and emerge stronger,” they shared.
This year, Holistic Hair unveils exciting projects. A significant undertaking is the B Corp project, showcasing their commitment to sustainability and social responsibility. Becoming a Certified B Corporation underscores their dedication to environmental performance, transparency, and social impact.
The focus extends to expanding and building new markets, reaching individuals seeking holistic hair care solutions. Plans include a diverse range of products, from scalp treatments to styling products, combining nature's power with cutting-edge technology.
One of their most beloved products remains their legacy Herbal Finishing Rinse. Born from the vision of the original founder, a hairdresser, this little miracle worker is here to save the day (and your scalp) from the post-summer blues. And guess what? You can snag a 40ml dose of this wonder potion in our March 'Post-Summer Detox' Wellness Box with 6 other treats for just $39! Yep, you heard that right—this month only!
So, here's to Nicky, Jodene, and the entire Holistic Hair fam—may your curls be bouncy, your spirits high, and your journey filled with laughter and love. Cheers to the fabulous women who make the world a more beautiful place, one strand at a time!
