Jarnell Cut Colour Curl – Celebrating 20 Years of Craft, Care and Confidence
From humble beginnings to becoming a highly respected name in the industry, Jarnell Cut Colour Curl has built its reputation on delivering exceptional client experiences and championing expertise, particularly in textured hair.
At the heart of the business is Ranee, Salon Owner and Creative Director, whose journey into entrepreneurship began in 2006.
As a single mum, Ranee seized an unexpected opportunity to start her own salon, an act of courage that would shape not only her future, but that of her team and clients.
Located just 10 minutes north of the city along Prospect Road in Kilburn, Jarnell Cut Colour Curl is a space where creativity, education and genuine client care come together. This year marks an incredible milestone: 20 years in business, alongside founder Ranee Cornell-Size celebrating 40 years in the hairdressing industry.
Today, Jarnell is recognised as a high quality, education driven salon with a strong industry focus. Ranee continues to invest in both her own growth and that of her team, undertaking ongoing local and international training to stay at the forefront of the craft.
What truly sets Jarnell apart is its specialisation in all things cut, colour and curl, particularly its rare expertise in personalised, curl-by-curl dry cutting. Combined with a deep understanding of hydration, frizz-free styling and colouring techniques for textured hair, the salon caters to clients across all curl patterns with precision and care.
Ranee’s passion for hairdressing has always been about more than just styling; it’s about connection and empowerment. She thrives on listening closely to her clients’ needs, finding tailored solutions and helping them rediscover confidence in their hair. Equally, she is deeply committed to nurturing the next generation of hairdressers, fostering a supportive and empowering environment within her team.
Her inspiration to start the business was rooted in both family values and a desire to create opportunity, not only for herself and her children, but for others in the industry. With the support of family, friends and business professionals, Ranee has built a salon that reflects her belief in leaving a positive impact on both people and the profession.
Like many small business owners, Ranee faced challenges, particularly when it came to marketing. Seeking growth and guidance, she joined the Women in Business Foundations Program through Adelaide Business Hub after it was recommended by a friend.
The experience proved transformative.
Through personalised mentoring, workshops and webinars, Ranee gained clarity, structure and confidence in areas outside her creative expertise. From business planning to social media strategy, the program equipped her with practical tools to elevate her brand and operations.
One of the standout successes has been the salon’s social media growth. With guidance from her marketing mentor Chanelle, Jarnell’s online presence grew organically by over 700%, with one reel achieving an impressive 1.9 million views, all without paid advertising! This success not only increased brand visibility but also empowered the team to step confidently in front of the camera, strengthening both engagement and team connection.
The program also encouraged a culture of collaboration within the salon, where every team member’s ideas are valued, often leading to some of their most impactful content and initiatives.
Beyond marketing, Ranee highlights the importance of stepping back and viewing the business through a different lens, embracing planning, and recognising the power of networking. These insights have helped drive a “work smarter, not harder” approach, contributing to ongoing growth and stronger business foundations.
While some goals are still in progress, the impact is clear: increased brand awareness, stronger client connections, expanded marketing channels, and a more confident, empowered team.
For other women considering the program, Ranee’s advice is simple and enthusiastic: “Dive in, girls! This program is worth its weight in gold!” She credits the tailored support and exceptional mentoring as invaluable, with benefits that will continue to shape her business in to the future.
As Jarnell Cut Colour Curl celebrates two decades of success, it stands as a testament to resilience, passion and the power of continuous learning. With a clear vision, a dedicated team and a commitment to excellence, the future looks just as bright as its inspiring journey so far.
