Kérastase Professional Hair Care

Brand History and Origin

Kérastase was founded in 1964 by researchers at L'Oréal Advanced Research in France. It was established as a high-end, professional hair care line designed to provide luxury treatments and diagnostic-led hair care through upscale salons. The brand pioneered the shift from simple hair cleansing to advanced scalp and fiber treatment, establishing itself as a prestigious name in the beauty industry.

Manufacturing and Quality

The brand's production is deeply rooted in Europe, with its primary manufacturing facilities located in France (specifically the L'Oréal plant in Burgos, Spain also handles significant international distribution). These facilities utilize advanced dermatological science to create their signature formulas, including hair masks, serums, and oils. For the North American market, some production is also handled in L'Oréal's specialized professional product facilities in the United States.

Ownership and Global Presence

Since its inception, Kérastase has remained a core part of the L'Oréal Group's Professional Products Division. As the world's leading beauty company, L'Oréal manages the brand's global strategy from its headquarters in Clichy, France. The brand is distributed exclusively through high-end hair salons and selective retailers, maintaining its status as a premium luxury provider in the global hair care market.
