For The Love kicked off in
Sydney and beyond, with
Monique McMahon and
Renya Xydis spreading
the love, the experience
and the incomparable
insights nation-wide.
SYDNEY PLAYED HOST to the
very first For The Love events, first
conducted by Renya Xydis and
Monique McMahon as a must-attend
business brunch at Beta Bar. The
inaugural event also hosted Libby
Cornish as a guest educator, laying
the foundation for Brisbane and
Melbourne events within the week.
Monique and Renya were both
fresh off a plane from New York
where they worked backstage on
the Zimmermann AW19 show.
They landed in Australia to deliver
top-tier business techniques over
a breakfast of Greek yoghurt, roast
figs with baklava crumble followed
by spanakopita, poached eggs and
ouzo cured ocean trout.
The primary points of
conversation were relevant to salon

owners, ranging from work/life balance, to goalsetting,
the challenges of business ownership,
marketing, social media and how to see the
results of effective change. Renya, Monique and
Libby tackled these diverse, universal topics by
sharing the benefits of their own experience,
insights and expertise.
Importantly, the women constantly referred
to the need to “find the courage to take risks to
reach your full potential as a salon owner,” and to
“hold onto your own story, and to be true to it.”
The tour continued in Brisbane on Sunday,
February 24 and in Melbourne on Monday,
February 25, both with special guest star Natalie-
Anne, with Brodie-Lee Tsiknaris and Joey
Scandizzo joining in to each city respectively.
