The Iconic 1980 Story

In 1980, two friends - hairstylist Paul Mitchell and businessman John Paul DeJoria - were inspired to create a company that would support hairdressers' success. With just $700, they launched a revolutionary hair care system with three products: Shampoo One, Shampoo Two, and The Conditioner.

From Rags to Riches

John Paul DeJoria had extremely humble beginnings - he was sleeping in his car before getting a $350 loan from his mother to start the business. Today, their dream is reality with Paul Mitchell producing 100+ products available in 80+ countries worldwide.

Cruelty-Free Pioneer

Paul Mitchell was the first professional beauty company to publicly stand up against animal testing in 1980. 45 years later, they're still rockin' that pledge to their furry friends, making them pioneers in cruelty-free beauty.

#1 Professional Brand Worldwide

According to Kline (2023 Salon Hair Care Global Series), Paul Mitchell is the #1 professional hair styling brand worldwide. With one product sold every 2 seconds and Tea Tree being the #1 scalp care brand sold in salons, their legacy is undisputed.
