Wholistic beauty experience at Darling & Co. Young
Darling & Co. Young is a ‘one-stop-shop’ for all your hair and beauty needs. Known initially for specialising in lashes and brows, Shannan Wheeler said her team is focused on providing a calming, inclusive and welcoming environment, with a touch of humour and fun.
When it comes to juggling the business while parenting her two young children, she credits her family support, “I am very blessed to have a supportive and flexible partner, particularly helpful in-laws, and a great support network of other family and friends,” she said.
“There are plenty of late nights, early mornings and missed moments – however it is all just a matter of learning as we go and identifying when we need a break”.
The idea for Darling & Co. Young came when Shannan kept outgrowing her home salon and client capacity with her Lash business. After much research and community feedback, she decided to expand and open a shop front offering a broader range of salon services. After finally securing the premises in late 2019, she set a proposed opening date for early March 2020.
The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the original plans for her business and Shannan explains it was a very uncertain time to be opening a new salon. “We were two days out from our open date when we were shut-down with the pandemic. It was really hard emotionally and financially,” she said.
