TRESemmé is a globally recognized American hair care brand with a history rooted in professional salon expertise. Founded in 1947 by Edna L. Emme at the Godefroy Manufacturing Company in St. Louis, Missouri, the brand was named after her and is a phonetic play on the French phrase très-aimé (much loved). Originally, the products were intended solely for use in beauty salons, but their popularity eventually led to a successful transition into the consumer retail market, making professional-quality hair care accessible at home.
In 1968, the brand was acquired by Alberto-Culver, which expanded its global reach significantly. In 2010, the Anglo-Dutch multinational Unilever acquired Alberto-Culver for $3.7 billion, officially bringing TRESemmé into its massive portfolio of personal care brands. Today, TRESemmé is a multi-billion dollar brand available in supermarkets and pharmacies worldwide.
Manufacturing for TRESemmé occurs in multiple countries to serve regional markets efficiently. Production facilities are located in the United States, the United Kingdom, South Africa (where wash and care products are locally produced), and other strategic locations worldwide under Unilever's global supply chain network. The brand remains the official hair care sponsor of major events like New York Fashion Week, maintaining its image of professional-grade quality for the everyday consumer.
