A thought-provoking evening exploring what it really takes to build a successful, meaningful and enduring business in beauty.
Beauty is often judged by what we see: the finished look, the campaign, the product launch or the success story. But behind every thriving business are years of craft, risk-taking, resilience, learning and reinvention.
Anchored by Charlotte Mensah’s 40-year journey in hair, the conversation brings together three leading figures from across the industry to look beyond the polished image and speak candidly about building businesses, navigating failure, creating opportunity and staying relevant in an ever-changing landscape.
From the realities of entrepreneurship and access to education, leadership, community and longevity, Beauty, Business & Belonging asks what it takes not simply to succeed, but to build something that lasts.
Moderated by Millie Kendall OBE, CEO of the British Beauty Council, of which Charlotte Mensah is a Patron.
