In 2021, she launched RŌZ (pronounced rose), a vegan, organic and sustainably sourced line of hair and skincare products. We’re loving the Saint Lucia Styling Oil which works on all hair types and instantly tames frizz, adds shine and smells like a dream. @mararoszak

With a client roster that includes Kristen Stewart, Nicole Kidman and the House of Chanel, we can safely say Abergel’s Insta feed is a must-follow. His work on high profile names and with the most influential fashion brands is completely inspiring. He is also the Creative Director of Virtue Labs, a much-awarded and innovative hair care line. @HairByAdir

Stephen is Rihanna’s go-to stylist and for good reason. Her expertise with natural and textured hair have put her on everyone’s style radar. We love her honesty and her Instagram feed which features red-carpet looks, backstage videos and plenty of her fab Hollywood clients. @ursulastephen
