SPECIALISING IN BLONDES… AND TIKTOKS 💇‍♀️📱

From sweeping floors in her mum’s salon to building a 35K-strong following on TikTok, Milla Nedanovski has carved her own path — and it’s anything but boring - blending bold hair transformations with scroll-stopping content and plenty of personality.

Her latest venture? – a creative hub in Wollongong’s CBD built to uplift fellow freelancers and offer clients more than just a haircut. It’s a safe space, a community, and a place where good vibes (and great hair) are guaranteed.

Catch Milla at .0 and on TT or drop by Blonde Denm to see what all the buzz is about.

Full story and on the blog!
