Wellbeing, Culture and Growth
Medusa Annual Team Day brought together its entire team to focus on personal and professional development.
Medusa closed the doors of its six salons to bring together more than 60 team members from across the business. This included its head office, education and artistic teams, for its annual team day, placing a clear focus on development, wellbeing and long-term growth.
Held as a dedicated moment to step away from the salon floor, this year’s event centred on the connection between personal health and professional performance. Managing Director Colin McAndrew opened the day with a review of the past year, setting the tone for a programme designed to inspire and equip the team with practical tools for both work and life.
A key highlight of the morning came from nutritional therapist Amanda Hamilton, who delivered an engaging session on self-care and nutrition. Her talk focused on realistic, everyday habits that salon professionals can adopt to support their physical and mental wellbeing. Reinforcing the message, the team swapped the traditional team-day pizza for a healthy, locally sourced lunch from a nearby organic café.
The afternoon shifted towards the impact of wellbeing on client results, with hair wellness brand Glowwa presenting on the role of nutrition in hair health. The session drew a direct line between internal health and external results, offering valuable insights for client consultations as well as personal lifestyle choices.
Culture and high performance were also firmly on the agenda. Drawing inspiration from the All Blacks’ renowned approach to success, McAndrew led a session exploring what it takes to consistently deliver world-class standards. The discussion challenged the team to consider how strong culture, daily habits and a commitment to excellence underpin long-term success.
Throughout the day, Medusa reinforced its core values of honesty, authenticity, connection, community and creativity, while underlining its ongoing commitment to investing in its people at every level.
The event concluded with a celebratory moment, as senior stylist Corinne McNaughton was announced as the winner of the company’s retail incentive challenge, earning a trip to New York.
“Our team day is a chance to step back from the salon floor, reflect, and invest in our people. This year, we focused on nutrition, culture and wellbeing because we know that when our team thrives, so do the clients. It’s not just about hair, it’s about the people who make our salons great. The results are showing, with at least one team member swapping their daily Red Bull for water. Education is power!”
