While his first pay cheque of $92 may have utterly squashed this particular dream, Todd’s determination prevailed and he went ahead to collect countless awards and trophies over the years and now co-owns two of Brisbane’s most successful salons.

Todd lists numerous events that mark career highlights for him including the fusing of his business partnership with Jim Skordou in 1992. Since their union, the pair have continued to bedazzle the Queensland and Australian hairdressing scene pulling in awards such as Queensland Hairdresser of the Year, Australian Hairdresser of the Year and Australia’s Best Salon Design.

Todd says his inspiration comes from his true passion for hair and the challenges associated with developing his business.

“We work very hard to achieve economic success and that has always been a priority. Without that, we wouldn’t have been able to expand our business and establish a second salon in Brisbane. Having a passion for what we do day-to-day is what fuels this determination and makes the whole process enjoyable,” he says.

Away from the hustle and bustle of his inner city salons, Todd can be found playing XBox and cooking (though not at the same time) in the quiet comfort of his home- a luxury rarely afforded to such high profile salon owners in this day and age. But the busy lifestyle is what Todd finds most exciting about the business and he says that “a new day” is what motivates him most.

As the managing director of the salons, Todd relies on Shortcuts to deliver timely and accurate reports on a daily basis which he says allows him to keep an eagle eye on the daily stats and all financial aspects of the business. Todd believes his personal point of difference centres around his positive, ‘go get ‘em’ attitude which he channels into his business every day.

“I think our business has become what it is today through skilled business initiatives and a highly intelligent management team. We are constantly making decisions to improve our economic success and client retention,” Todd reveals.

A combination of these leadership skills and business experience, together with both Todd and Jim’s impressive individual professional achievements have, in turn, attracted the very best of Queensland’s hairdressers to work at the salon. Vogue’s exceptional team of stylists and colourists are renowned for their progressive approach to hairstyling and their ability to interpret seasonal looks to suit each client’s individual personality and style. The performance of the salon since the early days of Todd and Jim’s collaboration is testament to both partners’ hard work, commitment and skill and their staff’s unrelenting devotion to the salon.
