THIS IS OUR STORY

Professional hair care. Independent spirit. A whole lot of heart.

The early days of Paul Mitchell: professional beauty built around its stylists

WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

1980

A BEAUTY COMPANY LIKE NO OTHER

It was 1980 when hairstylist Paul Mitchell and businessman John Paul DeJoria teamed up to start a beauty company unlike anything our industry had ever known. With their shared vision, a trailblazing spirit and $700 between them, they founded Paul Mitchell®.

As a family-owned professional hair care brand, we’re building a legacy with our passion for hair and a whole lot of heart. Stylists and salon owners remain at the centre of our story.

Creating the highest quality products, no compromises. Advocating against animal testing, because we keep our promises. Positively impacting people and the planet, our greatest resources of all.
