My journey in the beauty industry began in 2007 when I made the decision to leave school at just 14 years and 9 months old and step straight into the workforce, commencing a hairdressing apprenticeship.
From a young age, I was eager to start working and building a career for myself. While I didn’t have a strong interest in school or academia, I was drawn to creativity, artistry, connecting with people, and developing a strong work ethic. The salon environment gave me the opportunity to combine all four, and it quickly became clear that the beauty industry was where I belonged.
Over the years, I expanded my skills across multiple areas of the industry, studying hairdressing, makeup artistry, beauty therapy, nail technology, and eyelash extensions. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of becoming an award-winning makeup artist, working with hundreds of clients and continually refining my craft across a range of beauty services.
My passion for business led me to complete a Diploma of Business, while also exploring a career in real estate, gaining valuable insight into property, leasing, and business operations.
In 2021, I founded Chloe Wild Beauté, a boutique lash and brow agency in Prahran. What began as a small business quickly evolved into a thriving brand where I not only serviced clients but also educated aspiring lash artists, employed staff, managed contractors, and built a respected presence within the beauty industry.
Having worked across so many facets of the industry, I understand the realities of running a small business. I’ve experienced the excitement of launching a business from scratch, the challenges of growth, the pressures of managing overheads, and the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people and environment. I know firsthand how valuable it is to work alongside like-minded professionals who are passionate about their craft and committed to building something meaningful.
This experience ultimately inspired the creation of La Collective Co.
I recognised a gap in the market for practitioners who wanted more than just a room to rent. Many business owners are ready to take the next step from working at home, but aren’t yet ready for the commitment and financial pressure of a commercial lease. Others are looking to scale back from a traditional shopfront and focus on what they love most, without the burden of managing large overheads.
La Collective Co was created to bridge that gap.
Our spaces are ideal for:
- New business owners looking for a professional place to launch their brand.
- Practitioners ready to transition from a home salon or studio into a dedicated workspace.
- Established professionals looking to scale back into a private suite without the responsibility of managing a shopfront.
- Practitioners who aren’t yet ready to commit to a commercial lease but want a premium environment for themselves and their clients.
- Business owners seeking connection, support, and a genuine sense of community.
At La Collective Co, we believe that building a successful business shouldn’t be done alone. Our goal is to create inspiring spaces where practitioners feel supported, connected, and empowered to thrive—both professionally and personally.
Whether you’re just starting your journey or entering your next chapter, we’d love to welcome you into the collective
Who We Are
A New Era of Beauty, Wellness & Creative Spaces
La Collective Co. is a curated collection of design-led spaces where beauty, wellness and artistry converge.
Created for independent professionals who seek more than just a place to work, our spaces are housed within character-filled heritage buildings and thoughtfully reimagined with a refined European sensibility. Each location honours the architectural beauty of its surroundings while introducing a contemporary experience defined by elegance, functionality and intention.
At La Collective Co., every detail matters. From the craftsmanship of the buildings themselves to the carefully selected professionals who call them home, we believe exceptional environments inspire exceptional work.
More than a collection of beautiful spaces, La Collective Co. is a considered community. A place where elevated aesthetics meet meaningful connection. Where collaboration happens naturally, creativity flourishes and clients experience a sense of care from the moment they arrive.
We exist for those who value quality over excess, artistry over trends and presence over performance. A place that feels both aspirational and deeply personal — where belonging is felt, not assumed.
Our Philosophy
We believe that the spaces we occupy influence how we work, create and connect.
That's why every La Collective Co. location is intentionally designed to inspire both the professionals who work within it and the clients who visit. Through thoughtful restoration, timeless interiors and a carefully curated mix of beauty, wellness and creative practitioners, we create environments that elevate everyday experiences.
Our philosophy is simple:
- Preserve character and heritage.
