32. Candice Bould - The Lounge & Co Salons

Ando & Co

Candice Bould created The Lounge & Co in 2015 to build an environment where the best of hair, service and luxury can meet and you can benefit from a better overall hair experience. Designing all three salons herself, Candice has created a landscape where great hair is non-negotiable, while the well-appointed interiors and design features transforms a routine hair appointment into an enticing experience. Not to mention, the salons combine some of the most talented hairdressers in the business. I was able to sit down with Candice alongside her two Frenchies at her home in Wynnum to tell her story of 27 years in hairdressing and her 3 salons in Newstead, West End and Ormiston. I met Candice through her husband, Scotty, when we worked together at Ray White Bulimba. Scotty does plenty of the work behind the scenes in the business in fixing computer systems, marketing and even chat bots to help the business run more smoothly. Like the partner of any small business owner will attest, it's a team effort, and I can guarantee you that this is a formidable team. But enough about Scotty, this is Candice's story so I'll let her do the talking.
