OWNER + MASTER STYLIST

Known for her signature bouncy blowouts and effortlessly chic styles, Cara is a dedicated self-care advocate and passionate stylist. In 2021, she founded Nude and worked as a sole operated salon before expanding the salon in Pandosy Village in 2024, always with the mission to empower women to look and feel just as amazing on the inside as they do on the outside.

With over 15 years of experience, across 3 countries—including Australia and New Zealand—Cara has honed her craft and curated the perfect salon experience for women on the go, as well as those seeking a peaceful retreat. Managing The Salon at the Fairmont Hotel in Jasper National Park is where she learned her strong sense of customer experience, shaping her unique approach of blending efficiency with tranquility to cater to the busy woman and the self-care enthusiast alike.

Cara believes that even just 30 minutes to an hour can be transformative. At Nude, she’s designed a serene space where every woman can escape life’s chaos and indulge in some much-needed self-care. A good scalp massage is her kind of meditation, and she’s here to ensure you leave feeling refreshed, recharged, and radiant—inside and out.

''I am so grateful for each and every one of you for being here! I hope you always feel welcome in our salon even if it’s just to pop in and say hello''
