About Ego

Ego Iwegbu launched her first salon in 1999 in London’s hottest location, Topshop Oxford Circus. In 2006, Ego went on to establish Miss Salon – a business-to-business one-stop shop for all things salon business!

Between 2011 – 2021, Ego launched Miss Salon London & MSLONDON Cosmetics (South Africa) and most recently The Good Mineral (USA) along with business partners Linda Jangulo and Natasha Iwegbu.

From her own experience as a salon owner Ego realized that many small business owners are ‘on their own’ when faced with the realities of running their businesses… It’s hard and financial and personal freedom can take a long time to achieve!
