Pureology

Pureology was founded by a hair stylist called Jim Markham in 2001. Markham became a well know hairdresser in the USA in the 1970s and 80s, initially through both his styling techniques and his own line of hair care products and then as the stylist of choice for some of Hollywood’s biggest male film stars. His hair products led the way for vegan and environmentally conscious and natural ingredients in the early 90’s but by 97 he had sold his hair products business.

He founded Pureology in California in 2001 as a result of products that he had developed for a family friend who was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer. The friend had been instructed by her Doctor to avoid certain ingredients but could not find any products which were sulphate and salt free. It was clear there was a need for sulphate free hair care products based on natural ingredients and Pureology pioneered these which have now become a standard for high quality hair car products

This new range of products were not only safer and more environmentally friendly but also minimised hair colour fade. Pureology Serious Colour Care was born and created a new category of professional colour care products which quickly went on to win awards and become a huge success. Pureology was pioneering in so many ways to minimise the impact of the manufacture and use of its products to consumers, animals and the natural environment.

The Pureology logo captures the essence of the company. Purple, green, yellow and red circles symbolise the colour wheel, a key tool for hair colourists and they interest to look like a flower to show the natural, botanical nature of the ingredients. It is also interesting that the company although originally based in Irvine, Orange County, California used the British spelling of colour across its range as it felt it matched better with their brand. Over recent years some small changes to the brand have included gradually changing this to the US spelling (color). We will forgive them that!
