HISTORY FOR OVER 40 YEARS, ELGON HAS BEEN COOPERATING WITH PROFESSIONAL HAIRDRESSERS THAT BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF BEAUTY AND IN THE CREATIVE FORCE OF THEIR JOB. • Elgon was established in 1970 in Milan, the international capital of fashion and style, drawing on the talent and experience of the founder in the field of professional cosmetics. • Elgon developed through the creation and production of effective, delicate, and pleasant hair dyes and cosmetics, as well as the provision to salons of specific training and approaches to enhancing beauty. • Today Elgon has a footprint in more than 70 countries and owns an innovative training Academy in Florence.
VISION • Elgon believes that beauty - like emotion - is a universal value: every woman, regardless of her race, culture and color, aspires to be beautiful. • Italian artists have always used color and poetry to celebrate beauty, and hairdressers are none other than contemporary artists celebrating the beauty of men and women. • A gentle speaker in a loud world, Elgon discreetly helps hairdressers from all around the planet to awaken beauty with respect and kindness, through the effectiveness, quality and innovation of its products and services. • Elgon is Color&Poetry.
