EP31 – Branding with Pont Smith & Chloe Herve

Why is branding so important? We invited Pont Smith and Chloe Herve, owners of award-winning salon bebop in North London to join us in the Respectfully Kitchen to discuss the importance of branding and how it all started. Bebop salon opened in December 2017 (happy anniversary!) and prides itself on being cruelty-free, organic and vegan.

On the panel…

Previously at Myla & Davis and Bluetit, the duo opened their doors as a new boutique hair hangout with a focus on fashion and music hair culture. They’re the first salon to bring LA brand R+Co to the UK, the aesthetic products are proudly cruelty free, sustainable and made without sulphates and parabens.
