She landed in Sydney with $600 and a 56kg suitcase full of hair product. Nine years later, BKT is sold in 56 countries.
Leticia Prado built her business from a bathtub in a share house, taking bookings off a Brazilian Facebook group at $100 a service. Then a neighbour reported her for working from home — and she made the bold move to sign the lease on a Surry Hills salon COVID had just shut down.

Her words: business will humble you every single day.
