Philip Kingsley Haircare

Philip Kingsley is a prestige British haircare brand founded in 1957 by Philip Kingsley, a world-renowned trichologist often referred to as the 'Hair Doctor'. The brand is celebrated for its science-led approach to hair and scalp health, famously coining the term 'bad hair day' and creating the world's first pre-shampoo conditioner, Elasticizer, specifically for Audrey Hepburn.

Originally established with a flagship clinic in London's Mayfair, the brand expanded into retail products to bring professional trichological expertise to home care. The manufacturing of its products is primarily conducted in the United Kingdom, maintaining the brand's British heritage and quality standards.

As of 2026, the company remains a family-owned and independent enterprise. Following the founder's passing in 2016, his daughter Anabel Kingsley, also a trichologist, took the role of Brand President. In late 2025, the brand appointed Joseph Scott Grigsby as CEO to lead its international expansion and digital growth, while the Kingsley family continues to hold ultimate ownership and control over the business.
