About the guest:

Sam Campbell is the CEO and Co-Founder of Bleach London, a hugely popular salon chain and haircare product line. After graduating with a law degree and exploring the field of media planning and marketing, Sam established her own business, serving as an agent for fashion and beauty professionals. In this role, she met her best friend, hairstylist Alex Brownsell, and joined her in co-founding Bleach, the world’s first salon focused primarily on hair color services. In response to the popularity of their services, Sam and Alex created a line of at-home products to give customers access to high-quality color without a visit to the salon. Bleach has now expanded to four locations, with more on the way, and Sam has secured licensing deals with Boots and Walmart.
