International Hair Cosmetics

International Hair Cosmetics is the innovative company behind the premier hair product range, Affinage Salon Professional. An Australian success story.  International Hair Cosmetics launched in 1988 and since then has become one of the leading hair colour companies in Australia  and New Zealand.

Originally known for its extensive knowledge of all aspects of the professional hair colour business, the company has extended its product range to include shampoos, conditioners, styling products and hair treatments that have become enthusiastically embraced by consumers and the hairdressing industry.

A research and development laboratory in Italy and Australia ensures the creation of exciting, world-leading hair products that will further strengthen International Hair Cosmetics' reputation as the fastest growing Australian haircare company. In 2004, the world's most advanced hair colour was created using the revolutionary DATEM technology, breaking new ground in modern hair colouring.

World Class, World Wide

Today, Affinage products are sold in over 50 countries, across Europe, Africa, the United States, South America, and the Asia Pacific. The Affinage Salon Professional brand is marketed by the International Hair Cosmetics group of companies which has bases both in Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom & USA.

The Affinage Team

At Affinage, our philosophy is simple: to use knowledge, innovation, creativity and technology to create superior, safe, and 'leading edge' products in professional haircare.

Affinage's extensive range of colours, highlighting systems, shampoos, conditioners, treatments, styling products, and permanent waves has been embraced by salons and consumers in over fifty countries worldwide, and is testament to Affinage's commitment to the hairdressing industry.  

Success ultimately relies on the company's passionate and enthusiastic network of wholesalers and distributors throughout Australia who, together with educators and sales staff, make up the strong team supporting the Affinage range.

Headed by Richard Jolly, International Hair Cosmetics provides its distributors with marketing assistance and point of sale materials, supported by one of the most comprehensive and professional education and training programs available. This has proven invaluable in educating and assisting salon customers with technical advice, in-salon training, promotions, and media advertising.
