Who We Are
Our Philosophy & History

Effortless, Modern Beauty Inspired By French Artistry.

We began our company in 1973 with a simple vision: to bring the je ne sais quoi that defines sexy, French hair to American women. What made our style different at the time, and what continues to set it apart today, is that we approach hair with an emotional edge as sharp as our sheers. We know hair is more than just hair. Our clients experience life in it, create memories in it and derive a an understated confidence from it.

The secret to our effortless, sensual and discreetly daring looks is a trifecta of cut, product and the individuality of each client. We cut with a technique and artistry pioneered by our founder, legendary stylist Charles Ifergan, that carefully considers hair texture and the client’s style. And our products are the product of years of struggling to find high-performing formulas that live up to our exacting standards and allow clients to recreate salon looks at home.

In true French fashion, we believe in quality over quantity. Our product line is a highly curated collection of shampoos, conditioners and styling essentials powered by Complex A7, our custom blend of repairing amino acids, antioxidant-rich French grapeseed extract and resveratrol.

Our company was founded on an idea by Charles Ifergan and is run today by Charles and his two children, Olivia and Philippe.

TOGETHER THEY’VE CREATED A MODERN HAIRCARE EXPERIENCE ROOTED IN THE UNMISTAKABLE EASY, ELEGANCE OF FRENCH WOMEN.
Charles brings over four decades of styling expertise and French artistry. Olivia, a renowned stylist in her own right, lends her cutting-edge eye and artistic direction. And Philippe leads technological innovation, brand and product development.
