Phytotheratrie founder Mr. Patrick Alès, is an innovator, an artist and a true visionary. While becoming one of the most renowned hair stylists in Paris, styling the hair of legendary women such as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Catherine Deneuve, he also experimented with different plants and essential oils to create a variety of natural hair care products. In 1969, he opened his own salon (which is still in existence today) where he perfected his craft and tested his own botanical mixtures and concoctions. What grew from his vision is a complete and comprehensive line of hair care products that employs the synergy of plants to treat and style all hair types and conditions.
