Meet the R+Co Artists: The Creatives Behind the Brand
R+Co is more than just great products—it’s about the artists who bring them to life. Meet the stylists shaping the future of hairdressing.
Penny Jennifer - NSW (Styling / Cutting / Colour)
A seasoned hairstylist with a rich 16-year career, fuelled by a lifelong influence from her family’s hairdressing legacy. Beginning at Dublin’s acclaimed Brown Sugar and later refining her skills at Barney Martin in Sydney, Penny absorbed knowledge from industry luminaries like Paloma, Barney Martin, and Laura Reid while collaborating with top-tier brands such as Oribe, R+Co, and participating in Australian Fashion Week. Penny’s passion for education stems from a belief in embracing change for growth. She envisions a future marked by a brand that champions education, granting her the freedom to explore new horizons and evolve her craft.
“I’ve proudly partnered with Rogue Beauty for nearly 10 years. Beyond incredible products, their commitment to education and collaboration sets them apart. R+Co’s ongoing training keeps me inspired and always learning. As a colourist, I want products that perform flawlessly while making a positive impact—R+Co delivers on all fronts.” – @pennyjennifer_
Elly Paynter – VIC (Colour)
A seasoned salon owner, colourist, and educator, kindled her hairdressing journey 17 years ago in rural Victoria, evolving swiftly through apprenticeships and city ventures, showcasing her versatility and passion. Collaborating with renowned mentors and brands like R+Co and Oribe, she’s recently opened her new studio, aiming to share her expertise through workshops and events, marking a significant milestone in her illustrious career.
“Partnering with R+Co and Rogue Beauty was an easy choice—they align with my values and offer a strong sense of community and collaboration. Whether working with R+Co, Bleu, or R+Color, I have the perfect toolkit for any outcome, with hair health, performance, and sustainability always top of mind. The education and networking opportunities they provide are unlike anything I’ve experienced before.” – @ellyhairpaynter
Tiffany Decaux - S.A (Styling / Cutting / Colour)
With over 15 years of experience in the hairdressing industry, Tiffany began her career in Loxton, South Australia, before moving to Adelaide, where she worked under the mentorship of Damien Rinaldo at Boris the Cuttery. A year ago, she fulfilled her dream of opening Iris House of Hair, focusing on personalised, uplifting client experiences. Tiffany has worked with top brands like Redken, L’Oréal, and R+Co, earning accolades such as South Australian Hairdresser of the Year and a spot on the prestigious F.A.M.E. Team.
“I chose to partner with R+Co and Rogue Beauty because they foster a community of likeminded creatives who are passionate about hair, education, and innovation. Their forwardthinking approach to sustainability and performance aligns with my brand. The inspiring network of stylists and cutting-edge products make working with them both exciting and rewarding.” – @tiffanydecaux
Ryan King – QLD (Styling / Cutting)
With 17 years in the industry, Ryan King’s journey began in 2007 when he traded a rainy carpentry apprenticeship in England for a career behind the chair—a decision inspired by his mum and never regretted. Honing his craft in London alongside top stylists, Ryan developed his expertise in precision cutting.
“A brand partnership has to be the right fit—shared values, the same drive, and a commitment to excellence. Collaborating with R+Co under Rogue Beauty has been incredible, with top-tier education and events like the On Tour roadshow.” – @ryankinghaircutter
Stevie Vincent – WA (Styling / Cutting)
A salon owner, entrepreneur, and educator, began her journey at 15, excelling in cutting, styling, and colour. Passionate about inclusivity and clean, safe products, she advocates for gender-neutral spaces and toxin-free products in her two Western Australia-based salons.
“I’ve never worked with a company I align with so effortlessly—one that’s both innovative and deeply respectful. R+Co is an artist’s brand that fuels creativity while maintaining hair health.” – @stevievincentt
