Bronz Hair Design

Bronz Hair in Gulf Harbour was one of the Health and Beauty pilot businesses to enrol to demonstrate their climate action work in The Green Scheme.

We selected Bronz to be one of our pilot businesses under our “Health and Beauty based” survey because of Jo’s enthusiasm which we undertook on 5 July 2023.

Bronz are part of the Sustainable Salons programme and therefore already very proactive about taking climate change action but are also keen to uptake much more in their endeavours.
