Perth salon owner Krystal Solera says rising business costs are making it harder for small operators to stay afloat, despite her own success building an online following for her hair extension business. She discusses the pressures she faces as costs increase, including the impact these expenses have on running a salon and maintaining services for customers.
Solera also criticises government over support for small businesses. While the coverage focuses on her personal experience and profile, both outlets frame her comments as part of a broader discussion about affordability and financial strain for smaller enterprises. The articles do not present new policy details, but they emphasize her view that existing measures do not sufficiently protect small business owners from cost increases.
Both sources agree on the core elements: Solera’s role as a Perth salon and hair extension business owner, her public-facing online presence, and her message that escalating costs are creating pressure across the small-business sector.
