In 1980 and with just $700, two friends, John Paul DeJoria and Paul Mitchell launched a revolutionary hair care system with just three products; Shampoo One^®, Shampoo Two^® and The Conditioner™, adding a fourth product, Hair Sculpting Lotion™ soon after.

Founded on the principles of cruelty-free and professional only, today their dream of providing hairdressers and their guests with the finest quality products is a reality, and the simplicity and professionalism of their products has taken the hairdressing world by storm. Sadly Paul Mitchell died in 1989 but John Paul alongside Paul’s son, Angus Mitchell continues to realise their original vision. Paul Mitchell^® currently produces over 150 products continually expanding the brand to suit the needs of hairdressers today – from award-winning styling and care products to cutting-edge heat styling tools and professional hair colour – and is available in over 80 countries worldwide.

Paul Mitchell^® is synonymous with luxury ingredients, reliable performance and a trusted brand name. Paul Mitchell^® has and always will be professional only. That’s why, CEO, John Paul DeJoria, signed a legally binding contract keeping the brand in the hands of hairdressers for at least 356 years!
