The Wella Professionals story began in 1880 with Franz Ströher, a young German hairdresser with an entrepreneurial spirit and a deep love of hairdressing.
For over 125 years, Wella has evolved and flourished, working in close partnership with salons and hairdressers. It revolutionized the perming industry with 'Wella Junior' - the world's first portable permer.
It had major product innovations including Koleston Perfect - first ever cream color, New Wave WetGel and High Hair-at-home products that helped achieve the strong looks that defined the 80s, and
Inspire – an industry breakthrough in personalised hair color, to name a few.
In fact, throughout our history, wella has continuously striven to lead the way in every part of the hairdressing industry.
