INDUSTRY EDUCATION
Created for professionals ready to refine their craft, expand their creative perspective and explore what comes next. Our bespoke education and masterclasses bring together precision, creativity and contemporary industry practice, led by Atilio Dusa, Melissa MacDonald and Eliza Collier—three accomplished educators with distinct perspectives and decades of collective experience across education, fashion and precision cutting.
MELISSA MACDONALD
Melissa MacDonald’s career is defined by technical discipline, creative restraint, and an enduring respect for structure. A cornerstone of the Clip Joint education team, she is renowned for her sculptural cuts—clean outlines, fluid movement, and a form-follows-function philosophy that favours longevity over trend. With international styling credits and years of teaching across fashion weeks and salons, her Sassoon retraining marked a pivotal evolution—refining both craft and curriculum. Influenced by architecture and Scandinavian minimalism, Melissa’s approach is quiet yet commanding—precision-led and grounded in timeless design.
ATILIO DUSA
Atilio brings over two decades of expertise as Creative Director at Clip Joint Hairdressing, where precision, curl artistry, and Sassoon discipline define his signature. His educational philosophy empowers stylists to translate technique into effortless, real-world results—prioritising natural texture and understated elegance. From New York Fashion Week to global campaigns and fashion festivals, his work reflects a refined creative lens shaped by art, culture, and the ever-iconic Cate Blanchett. Sassoon training was a pivotal catalyst—igniting a lifelong commitment to craft, clarity, and the pursuit of less-but-better.
ELIZA COLLIER
For Eliza Collier, hair is refined design—where structure meets self-expression with clarity and purpose. Initially trained in graphic design, her creative instincts led her to hairdressing, where form, texture, and transformation became her language. At Clip Joint, she developed a signature defined by Sassoon precision: elegant silhouettes, tailored structure, and styling that reflects both the client’s lifestyle and aesthetic. Her work spans runway, editorial, and long-standing creative direction for Paolo Sebastian—merging timeless influence with contemporary refinement. As an educator, Eliza champions thoughtful artistry and encourages emerging stylists to lead with curiosity, discipline, and quiet confidence.
SPENCER HUANG
Spencer brings a global perspective, beginning his career in Taiwan at just 15, Spencer is now based at Clip Joint Burnside, where he specialises in precision cutting, men’s hair and styling tailored to each client. His creative experience spans Australian Fashion Week, national runway shows and session styling, where he thrives on the energy and collaboration of backstage environments. Inspired by global fashion, culture and emerging trends, Spencer has a natural ability to translate editorial ideas into refined, wearable looks. With ambitions to work across Paris and New York Fashion Weeks, he continues to bring curiosity, creativity and an international outlook to his work both in the salon and as part of the Creative Team.
GIULIANA VISEKRUNA
With more than 20 years of Clip Joint experience, Giulianna combines technical colour expertise with a passion for education and mentorship. As a senior Colour Technician and Educator, she is known for creating effortless, bespoke colour that enhances natural beauty, from luminous blondes and seamless greys to soft, lived-in tones. Inspired by fashion and the relationship between shape and colour, Giuliana brings a thoughtful, individual approach to every client and creative project. Her experience spans runway shows, brand seminars and the Adelaide Fashion Festival, while her work as an educator allows her to share her knowledge and build confidence in the next generation of colourists. With an ambition to educate on a national and global scale, Giuliana brings experience, creativity and a commitment to technical excellence to the Clip Joint Creative Team.
