Redken - Redken Laboratories was founded in 1960 and is a company built from the inspiration of a dynamic, entrepreneurial American actress named Paula Kent. Frequent chemical services and style changes were part of everyday life for this aspiring actress, but Paula was extra sensitive to many of the products used by hairdressers and make-up artists. She realized that this is a frustrating issue for women the world over and working with professional hairdressers, developed high performance products that were gentle to the skin. Today, Redken is a global leader in professional haircare products and services with a huge range that includes Acrylic Shape, Texture and Time Reset.
