Perth’s The Cutting Room celebrates 30 years in business

Perth-based salon, The Cutting Room, is celebrating after hitting a landmark 30 years of successful trading.

The family business was started by current owner Stephen McCartney’s father, while his sister also worked for the company for 10 years before moving to Melbourne, Australia. Early days saw L’anza as its professional products partner, but now the salon is associated with luxury, premium brand, La Biosthetique.

Located in the centre of Perth, down a small lane, The Cutting Room has built a loyal local following for its private, exclusive feel. Offering a ground floor for cutting and colouring services and a beauty department on the first floor, the salon attracts a broad spectrum of clients.

McCartney attributes such success to great team work: “The Cutting Room has a terrific team of dedicated professionals; nine stylists, three assistants and two beauty therapists. As well as being super-skilled and brilliant with clients they are also very loyal.

“Everyone works so well together, creating a wonderful atmosphere, a place where clients can truly relax in a warm and welcoming environment where nothing is too much trouble. We’ve always been very focused on customer care while striving to provide the best possible technical services.”

So what’s the most remarkable aspect of 30 years’ of successful trading? “Changes in the industry,” says McCartney. “Standards are much higher, the hair and beauty business is now far more professional. We’ve always committed ourselves to delivering the best we can and will continue to do so for another 30 years; the spirit is willing so let’s just hope the body is too!”
