There is always room for growth no matter what the brand is,” Marta exclaimed.

Women are embracing their natural texture more than ever,” she says, “I also see opportunity for double digit growth for the brand. And the opportunity to give Macadamia its rightful place amongst prestige salon professional retail.”
