A Warm Welcome An introduction from Tania and Joel Turner

Tania Turner

As the founder of Shine Beauty salons chain I'd like to share the story of my personal journey with you - a journey that has blended my love of the beauty industry, a desire to build a successful business and the ability to bring a smile to the faces of my clients every day.

At 23 I began the first tentative steps, after graduating with a Diploma of Beauty Therapy, I proceeded to manage and run a couple of small beauty spas which gave me valuable, initial industry experience. In June 1999, I opened the doors of "Shine Beauty" on the Gold Coast.

Passionate about our Shine Brand and dedicated to growth we opened our second store on the Sunshine Coast and then more stores in Brisbane, quickly followed.

In recent years we have opened salons in Caloundra and Sippy Downs, and recently redesigned, relocated and launched a brand new Sunshine Plaza salon and also our oldest salon Southport is now all new and redeveloped too.

Now living on the Sunshine Coast I lead a group of passionate beauty industry staff in our salons based in South East Queensland. Our customers love our brand, the beautiful appearance of our stores, our systems and absolute professionalism, we are however an innovative and passionate family business with over 25 years experience in the beauty industry and winners of many prestigious business excellence awards.

Tania was awarded the title of Sunshine Coast region 'Business Woman of the Year' in 2016. see more »

"Tania and I created Shine and have developed the business together, we are pleased with its steady progress, the opportunities ahead. It's great to now be able to focus my time at Shine."
