WHO WE ARE
Genesis
April 1945: spurred on by a new impetus, the elite of Parisian hairdressers running prestigious salons in the famous Golden Triangle decided to create a club. Under the visionary leadership of Fernand Aubry, Haute Coiffure Française was born!
The names René Rambaud, Albert Pourrière, Marc Ruyer, Louis Gervais or Antoine, not forgetting the illustrious Guillaume, are among the members of the Haute Coiffure Française Board of Directors.
These leading hairdressers have come together to defend the interests of "Haute Coiffure".
At their first general meeting in July 1945, they stated that :
" The criterion adopted for membership is the possession of a salon of recognized quality, owned by a qualified professional with a love of his trade ..." and also: " Today, thanks to the hitherto unachieved union of all the commercial, artistic and professional values of French hairdressing, it will be possible to give this corporation the place it deserves ".
Another of Haute Coiffure Française's objectives is to " represent French hairdressing abroad ".
An undisputed forerunner, Haute Coiffure Française personifies the expertise, professional ethics and values that make hairstyling the most essential adornment of the personality.
... AND TODAY?
Paris, fashion capital of the world, shines throughout the world. Its aura and notoriety have remained unfailing over the years. And hairstyling is no exception. Like French fashion, Haute Coiffure Française is the image of elegant, sophisticated hairstyling.
With a presence in nearly 30 countries, Haute Coiffure Française brings together many highly talented hairstylists and top-quality salons around the world.
