Jose’s perspective on life is infectious. When she’s not hopping between the company’s Sydney based headquarters and the O&M NYC Salon Academy, she is factoring in meetings with her team, vendors, investors, new business opportunities, and working diligently on her objective to sustain a full concept for salons around healthy hair. All that, while donning her mother-of-two hat.
Bryce Smith has over her twenty-year tenure with O&M won some, and lost some; indeed, she unreservedly discerns she has made all the mistakes on behalf of those businesses that have subsequently joined the green beauty arena. However, armed with a resolve to control her own destiny, a commitment to bridge the gap between natural and luxury; and a persistence to several years of the research and development of her own ammonia, ppd, resorcinol free hair colour; Bryce Smith has successfully and authentically tapped into the wellness lifestyle choice.
