Nioxin Brand Heritage

Nioxin began with one woman’s wish to make people feel good about themselves. Inspired by her own experience, Eva Graham made it her life’s mission to help men and women keep their hair.


EVA GRAHAM

FOUNDER OF NIOXIN

Growing up an only child in the mountains of North West Carolina, nature was Eva’s playmate. She made perfume from rose petals, potions from roots and herbs and, following her mother’s footsteps, developed an instinctive understanding of the healing power of plants. Eva’s father was an inspiration: a handsome, uplifting man who always encouraged her to follow her dreams. Like all little girls, she would watch him shave and brush his hair. “Eva” he would say, “if only someone could find a way to stop a man losing his hair.” The seed was sown.

When Eva lost half of her own hair after giving birth – and found no real solution – her mind was made up. She began to cultivate a new approach to healthy hair, starting with the scalp. She read everything she could find on skin and hair. She visited dermatologists, attended medical conventions and listened to lectures in the car and realised that “the scalp is simply an extension of the face: it needs gentle ingredients to breathe and function correctly.” It was a simple but visionary idea and with just $500 dollars and a dream, Eva set to work. She started experimenting with herbs and botanicals at home and, from a small desk in her bedroom, built a network. She teamed up with biologists, chemists, pharmacologists and hairdressers and talked endlessly to consumers to create a revolutionary skin care company for hair.


1987

NIOXIN RESEARCH LABORATORIES

In 1987, NIOXIN Research Laboratories is founded and the first products arrive in salon as “The Science of Living Hair."

When NIOXIN Research Laboratories was founded in 1987, women were going to the hairdressers once a week, shampooing every day and using a lot of harsh, aggressive products. The market was flooded with ineffective hair thickening products and men were trying new drug-based solutions with marginal success. Nobody was thinking about scalps. NIOXIN was the first salon brand to propose like-type cleansers, exfoliants and anti-aging ingredients for a youthful scalp complexion and healthier-looking hair. It represented a new hope, a new category, a whole new salon retail business.

Over the next three decades, NIOXIN Research Laboratories developed a wealth of innovative formulas to cleanse, restore and activate the scalp and hair. But the key to the brand’s success was knowledge. Right from the start, the company offered research-backed education to train hairdressers and beauty professionals on how to identify their clients’ needs and provide tailored treatments and product recommendations. Eva called it “creating the conversation” because above all else, NIOXIN is about making connections and helping people.
