British-born tricologist Philip Kingsley, fondly dubbed the ‘Hair Doctor’, the ‘Hair Guru’ and the ‘Hair Wizard’ by various style magazines, was internationally recognized as the leading authority in hair and scalp health.
He brought the hair of so many notable figures to life, and gave confidence to anyone having a ‘bad hair day’ – a term he coined himself. Over the years, his name became eminent across film sets, catwalks and celebrity circles that include Kate Winslet, Sigourney Weaver and Renée Zelwegger.
Backed by over 55 years’ of trichological experience, Philip Kingsley went on to create a line of in-salon, trichologically driven hair and scalp products – a first at the time. Recognizing a void in the industry, he bridged the gap between science and hairdressing, delivering formulations that not only beautified the hair, but allowed it to reach its full health potential.
What Makes Philip Kingsley Products Different?
Philip Kingsley has been published in countless scientific papers and dermatological studies, he's even been known to consult British royalty. He has used his success to fund research on female hair loss in New York, working diligently to develop products that address the needs of those undergoing Chemo and Radiotherapy. Not only equipped with a distinct understanding of the optimal scalp environment, Kingsley unabashedly appreciated the role of the human hair as a “sexual object”.
It is this holistic approach to haircare, where the brand takes into account what hair needs inside and out to look and feel its best, and a consideration towards how hair affects confidence, that sets Philip Kingsley apart.
