PAGE 3 PROFILE

As a child, Molly Job was surrounded by cool and crazy hair dressers and is following in the footsteps of her mum and aunties in her own salon. Growing up as one of six children, there were always plenty of people to practice her styling skills. I run my hair dressing business from Superior Style Hair in

the Dubbo RSL Club. My passion is hair, and scrunchies are a great add-on. I design them using my favourite fabrics and prints, velvets and even leathers, and also sell them via social media.

My love of haircuts started early in the sun room of our family home at 290 Macquarie Street. After my sisters and I cut the hair of our Cabbage Patch dolls, we continued on to our own hair, resulting in a couple of cool homecut mullets.

Having five siblings growing up was and is still now a blessing. There was healthy rivalry of course, and a lot of hair to practice cutting and styling. I am number five in the family. Having lots of siblings has its perks, the greatest being my nine nieces and nephews.

Growing up, I was surrounded by cool and crazy hair dressers

as Mum and her two sisters were hair dressers and practiced in and around Dubbo. My mum inspired me to pursue hairdressing after I left school. Some older clients remember Mum from Buschy’s and tell some funny stories of the dress-up days they had at the salon and the carpet-lined walls. My job is rewarding and I love making people feel good about themselves. That moment when the cape comes off and they tell me how much they love it and the smile on their face is what makes it all worthwhile.
