I’m Sharon Brigden the Founder and CEO of SLBPR Ltd, one of the UK’s most creative and influential communications agencies specialising in the hair and beauty industry. With a global client base of artists and brands, I am recognised for my strategic insight, bold campaigns, and deep sector expertise across the world.

Throughout my career, I have partnered with some of the industry’s most respected and innovative brands, including BaByliss, K18, Remi Cachet, and Racoon International Hair Extensions, supporting their growth, international profile, and success within professional and consumer markets.

I’m a passionate advocate for the industry, a Media Advisory Board and Hair Advisory Group member for the British Beauty Council (the sister organisation to the British Fashion Council), recognised as an Assured Trade Member by the National Hair & Beauty Federation (NHBF, UK), and I am a member of the Professional Beauty Association in the United States.

Dedicated to elevating the hair and beauty sector, I recently launched SLBPR Industry Insider, an online platform offering PR and marketing training tailored specifically for professionals and entrepreneurs in the US market – empowering independent brands and artists to grow with confidence and clarity.
