Leona Noronha (pictured left) is the founder and owner of Leona Noronha's Natural and Organic Hairdressing. She has over two decades' experience and started her organic salon nine years ago. She has embraced using fewer chemicals and less harsh toxins on clients' hair and scalp whilst on a mission to protect the environment.

Lynsey Drewett is the founder of award-winning vegan and cruelty-free VE Cosmetics, launched in 2015.
