ABOUT OUR FOUNDER

Leticia Prado

Leticia is the Brazilian-Australian founder of BKT Beauty, a brand specialising in vegan, formaldehyde-free hair straightening treatments. Inspired by her personal journey managing unruly curls, she developed BKT Nanoplasty to empower women with healthier, smoother hair.

BKT MASTERY

BKT Mastery is our expert-led training program where stylists learn the art of nanoplasty, transforming technique into power and hair into freedom.

Our Journey

The BKT Transformation

Our journey is marked by significant milestones that define who we are. Each step reflects our pursuit of beauty, freedom, and the power to transform.

2017

The Beginning

Leticia arrived in Australia with $600, a suitcase, and a passion for making women feel powerful. In a spare room, she began transforming hair, and lives, one client at a time.

The Salon

​​With a dream too big for four walls, she opened her own salon space in Surry Hills. A salon that quickly became fully booked, every single day.

The Formula

She poured her purpose into a new kind of nanoplasty. One designed not just to smooth hair, but to unlock beauty, confidence, and freedom.

The Movement

When stylists came asking to learn, she taught them. Through hands-on masterclasses and expert training, Leticia began to transform not just hair, but careers. From that $600 to a global movement, BKT isn’t just a brand. It’s a transformation. Of freedom. Of mastery. Of allure. Of life. One we know shines the way for others to follow.
