Donna Sillett |Owner
About Me: I had no idea what I wanted to do when I was in High School, so my hairdresser recommended I try hairdressing at her local salon for my Year 10 School Work Experience, and who would have guessed I absolutely loved it! I am also qualified in Beauty Therapy, Nail Technology, and Makeup, and have also worked as a Business Development Manager and Hairdressing Teacher. I have managed many salons across Sydney, but it was the requests from my customers, that I decided to start my own business, so at the tender age of 23 I established Spoilt Rotten Hair & Beauty Studio in 2004 with my sister Sarah. It has now been nearly 14 years since I did my school work experience, and I am still doing what I love best, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Favourite Motto/Quote: Two great quotes I am always repeating “You need to dream big to make it big” and “What doesn’t kill you, only makes you stronger.”
Favourite Product: I love every product we use in the salon - as I wouldn’t stock it if I didn’t think my customers would love it too! But since I have to pick one, I would have to say the range of CHI Ionic Hair Colours. It’s so great to work with a range of products that are non-toxic, environmentally friendly, and biodegradable – plus they offer 100% grey coverage, in a large range of colours, and give your hair such a healthy glow!
Why I love Hairdressing: I honestly can’t imagine doing anything else. The best bit, is once I have finished a client, and seeing the look on their face. They don’t have to say anything, as their body language says it all. They are confident, happy, and back-to-life. It’s a great sense of achievement, to know I did that.
Why I love Spoilt Rotten Hair & Beauty Studio: This is my dream salon - My baby. I love every inch of it, and my staff and our customers are my extended family. I truly do love it, and my customers often comment on how much they can tell I love my job. I am so proud of how far the salon has thrived over the past 6 years, and cannot wait to show you all the things we have instore.
I can’t live without: Other than the obvious things like; my husband, my dog, my family & friends, I can’t live without; facebook, air-conditioning, local radio station C91.3fm, my hair colour and my blowdryer – very vain of me I know.
Lauren Duggan | Senior Stylist
About Me: I am 23 years old, and I have been hairdressing for almost 6 years. I am a hard worker and am very determined to do my best. I also love spending time with my family and friends, and having a good time.
Favourite Motto/Quote: “Go hard or go home” and “Silence is golden but duct tape is silver” HAHA makes me laugh every time.
Favourite Product: Hairspray
Why I love Hairdressing: I get to meet new people every day, and make them feel good once their hair is done - and that makes me happy. There is always new techniques to learn, and it keeps me busy and focused.
Why I love Spoilt Rotten Hair & Beauty Studio: Donna was my manager at another salon, and once I heard she was opening her own salon, I couldn’t wait to work with her again. Donna really makes me feel like part of a team always keeping me up to date and keeps me involved. Everyone has great personalities and we all get along really well.
I can’t live without: My friends and family, my GHD straightener, my phone... do you want me to keep going? LOL

Sarah Godbee | Senior Beauty Therapist
About Me: I fell into beauty therapy 12 years ago as a way to leave school. Starting out in nail enhancements, I then decided to further my skills through an apprenticeship in beauty therapy. 4 years later, I was lucky enough to co-own a successful business at the age of 21. When moving to Melbourne, I had to part with the business. I landed a wonderful manager role of a new international enterprise, which saw me travel to and trained by some of the best nail guru’s in New York city. After some hard work, I felt some play time was in order. I then took on some more training in London before heading to the USA to work on one of the biggest and most respected 5 star spa’s on board a cruise line. This turned out to be one of the hardest roles in all my years of beauty work. I returned to Sydney, and am now taking on extensive training in the paramedical skincare field, and of course, working hard to please each of my customers at Spoilt Rotten. I look forward to meeting you.
Favourite Motto/Quote: Anything from the Simpson is always a winner. Ralph and Homer - Need I say more?
Favourite Product: Prescription Nails are one of my all time faves, and have been for years. Easy to use, looks great, no more nasty acrylics! I urge everyone to try them once. You can have them as a once off, or as a regular service. AND!!! Forget all that damage to the nail like other acrylics and gels. Definately a winner by my books!
Why I love Being A Beauty Therapist: There is always so much going on, its stops me from getting bored.
Why I love Spoilt Rotten Hair & Beauty Studio: It doesn’t feel like I’m working when I’m there. I love being able to be in a job where I feel like I am hanging out with friends, and of course I love what I do!.
I can’t live without: My amazing boyfriend, friends, family, and my dog Jasper. They keep me going and give me everything I need. Love you guys!! |
