1.1_our story
OUR LOGO HISTORY Thirty years ago, two friends were inspired to create a company that would support the success of hairdressers and provide luxury hair care at an affordable price. With just $700, they launched a revolutionary hair care system with only three products. With only $700 they had to create a logo that could be printed easily and economically. Updating the logo will bring the brand into the future as a beautiful cosmetic and hair brand.

They are sprinkled throughout the book and other systems that use the identity in a light shade of our secondary colors. The diamonds are elegant and beautiful closely matching the look and feel of the Paul Mitchell branding.

Dear Mr. Rufus Grant, Our Paul Mitchell fashion show that was held at your hotel was extremely successful. The compliments that I have received on your staff’s courteousness and the excellent food that your chefs prepared for the occasion have been numerous. The displays you created for the “Summer’s Coming” promotion are just beautiful. Several of the sales personnel told me that they have received numerous compliments from the customers. Our “Summer’s Coming” promotion was greeted with a great deal of enthusiasm by the community, and I want to take this opportunity to thank you for all of your encouragement and support. As always, all of the staff at the hotel were extremely cooperative. I must, however, single out one in particular who worked exceptionally hard to make it the success it was. This is Judith Blakely, who seems to have an unlimited amount of energy and holds firmly to the conviction that if it is worth doing, it is worth doing it right. It is fair to say that without her help, this event would not have been nearly as successful as it was. We played to a full house. What more is there to say! Thank you for helping to make our event a success. Sincerely,
John Paul DeJoria
