These four amazing women (all under 35!) are making the world a lovelier place. To return the favor, we asked fashion expert and Glam4Good founder Mary Alice Stephenson, hairstylist Patrick Melville for Goldwell Professional, haircolorist Dina Hasanovic of the Mark Garrison Salon, and makeup artist Sarah Lucero of Stila Cosmetics to show these change-makers the pampering they deserve.

Nadya Okamoto, 19
Cofounder and executive director, Period. The Menstrual Movement

Her Mission
Along Okamoto's right rib is a tattoo that reads RESILIENCE, a word that reminds her to push through hard times. Okamoto grew up with domestic abuse and unstable housing; when her family was forced to move out of their home, she had a two-hour commute to school on public transportation. That's where she met women who couldn't afford tampons or pads and resorted to using toilet paper, grocery bags, and cardboard. In 2014, Okamoto started Period. The Menstrual Movement, a network of young activists who distribute care packages of menstrual supplies to women in need. Today the 2016 L'Oréal Paris Women of Worth honoree and Harvard sophomore is running for Cambridge City Council— and continues to work to ensure women don't have to choose between meals and period products. She says, "Fighting for that keeps me going."
