A History Lesson
(On Us)
A Long List of Hard Work And An Even Longer List of Our Accomplishments
Nestled on the fifth floor of Paragon, The Hair Shop has seen decades fly by. When our doors first opened in 1986, we took every opportunity that came our way. The first large project we took on as a company was for a British hair cream— Brylcreem. It was a very popular product then, like Rihanna's Fenty line. But for hair.
We launched from there, and before we knew it, we were taking planes to all corners of the world to practice our craft. We even published a book, The Hair Book (yes, The Hair Book), to educate people on the right approach for personal hair care, treatments, and styling.
We have a wide range of clientele, from celebrities and royalty to white-collar workers and students. Some of our clients, now good friends, have been with us since the beginning, and their children have joined our family too.
This invitation is warmly extended to everyone and anyone; for all hair types, for all people. Please, join the family.
We take pride in our work, so that you may take pride in your look.
