Popping up on our radar we spot that luxury brand Philip Martin’s has named Gina Conway its new UK Brand Ambassador. It makes complete sense for the award-winning sustainable salon and spa owner Gina to buddy up with this eco-conscious, innovative, and premium haircare company. They both love naturally-formulated haircare products, and adopt ethical practices where possible and working with bio-organic ingredients. Don’t know them well? Here goes:
Who is Gina Conway?
Gina Conway is a pioneer in sustainable beauty, being recognised for her outstanding contributions to the hair and beauty industry. She’s been named Marie Claire’s Best Sustainable Salon; is a Green Libertine for Green Salon Collective; and serves on the British Beauty Council’s Sustainable Beauty Coalition board, where she drives carbon-zero initiatives across the sector. She’s a pretty good hairdresser, too! We loved her show with Vin + Omi designers for SS25 fashion week where Gina’s big vision and personality gelled perfectly with the designers eco-warrior stance. That was the springboard for this announcement with Philip Martin’s, too. So you see how the stars are aligning.
Gina says, “I‘m really delighted to have been asked to be the Brand Ambassador for Philip Martins’s in the UK. I fell in love with this stunning range instantly when I got to feel its results on my hair, smell the divine natural aromas and learned how they create the products using ethical practices and bio-organic ingredients. Everything from the luxury look and feel to the culture of the company ethos and extremely high standards it holds itself to is definitely something I can get behind, and I’m dying to share with the UK and beyond how truly unique and special it is.”
Philip Martin’s
Founded in 2010 in Italy, the Philip Martin’s brand is about more than product manufacturing. The brand is based on thought and using our five senses to build well-being for both hairdresser and client. The mission statement included the belief that it starts from the hands of the hairdresser and the beautician, and ends up with the hair and skin of their clients. Stand out in order not to become extinct, is the call to action. The way the products are made and delivered and the way a service is carried out, is all part of the brand.
Gina Conway as born in the USA and from a West Coast background where she learned an affinity with nature and the environment. Kateryna Ord, commercial director for Philip Martin’s UK, says: “We’re delighted to be working with Gina; her stunning salon, expertise and commitment to green beauty align with the Philip Martin’s ethos, and together, we aim to inspire a new era of environmentally responsible haircare in the UK. We love her beaming personality, inimitable work ethic and passion for education and creativity. Gina is the perfect partner to join our family. As Philip Martin’s UK ambassador, Gina will bring her artistry, sustainability advocacy, and passion for innovative hair solutions, showcasing the brand’s luxurious, natural, and sustainable product ranges.”
This is one relationship to keep a close eye upon – you can learn a lot in all ways. Take it from us.
