Pippa Hallas CEO, Ella Bache

“2020 has been an extremely strange year one that we least expected, in true from it literally started off with a bang and has seemed to continue to escalate from there. I don’t know about the rest of the world, but I am most certainly ready for some precendented times…a trip overseas perhaps?

So the top of my Christmas wish list this year isn’t a new handbag, nor is it a new ski jacket to take to Whistler with me; it is a safe and effective Covid-19 Vaccine, and living here in Australia I never thought this would be at the top of my list. But this year has shown me that without one, the impact on lives and businesses globally is huge, and I want nothing more than to be able to take that fear away. I never thought our salons, small businesses and female entrepreneurs who own businesses from Hobart to Darwin and everywhere in between would be shut down by governments; I would love to give the gift to our salons all over Australia, particularly in Victoria a fantastic trade this Christmas. So this year, I choose to focus on innovation, respect, leadership and trustworthy expertise – together if we hold on to these values and allow them to guide us… my Christmas wish may just come true!”
