Bumble And Bumble began as a small salon. Founder Michael Gordon was a young and somewhat unknown hairdresser when he opened Bumble And Bumble in New York, a city of hairdressing legends. Gordon knew the salons success depended on the ability to offer something new. He wanted to give hairdressers and clients what they couldn't find elsewhere - a salon that fostered innovation and growth, which could evolve with changing times.
Bumble And Bumble started making out own products because they were never happy with what was available. The goal was to develop products, which didn't exist at the time, that hairdressers could use editorially - ones that could be mixed and layered to produce a broad range of effects. At first, the products were for our own use, but we soon began selling them to other select salons. He was really interested in doing business with salon owners and stylists who were truly engaged in the work - who had respect for the craft and who aspired to excellence in hairdressing.
For inspiration, we still look to trend and in fashion (and create quite a few ourselves). The work our salon stylists and editorial team do at the salon and on the runway continues to server as inspiration for our reknowned line of products, which are created and testing in our laboratories and coveted by session stylists, actors, models, fashionists and beauty junkies worldwide.
