Redken was founded in 1960 by a dynamic, entrepreneurial American actress, Paula Kent Meehan and Jheri Rhedding, her hairdresser. Since the beginning, Redken’s mission has been to focus on researching and developing superior products. The brand is dedicated to a scientific approach to beauty and powered by a commitment to salon education. This “Beauty Through Science” philosophy is a vital part of the brand’s heritage and has engendered many of the industry’s most technologically advanced products. In 1993, Redken moved to 5th Avenue NYC and became synonymous with urban-inspired fashion, innovation and street smart.
