Behind the Scenes: The Stefan Hair Styling Team’s Exclusive Visit to L'Oréal Paris Head Office
During their trip to Paris for Fashion Week, the talented Stefan Hair Styling team had the incredible opportunity to visit the iconic L'Oréal Paris head office—a place where beauty innovation meets history. This exclusive visit offered our team a chance to delve into the Parisian world of professional hair care and colour, with a focus on the revolutionary INOA clean colour range. But the day was so much more than just a technical training session; it was an immersive experience that deepened our love for the craft of hairdressing.
Mastering INOA Clean Colour
Our team’s day began with a deep dive into INOA, L'Oréal’s breakthrough ammonia-free color technology that has been transforming the industry. As we gathered in one of L’Oréal’s advanced colour training studios, expert colourists walked us through the science behind INOA and how its clean colour formulation delivers vibrant, long-lasting results while being gentle on hair.
We learned advanced colour application techniques that allowed us to explore the full potential of the INOA range—from achieving natural, glossy shades to creating bold, statement colours with precision. Our team members were able to engage in real-time feedback from the best in the business. It was a thrilling chance to refine our skills and bring back fresh, cutting-edge techniques to our clients at Stefan salons.
Touring the L’Oréal Paris Head Office
After our intense colour training, we were treated to a guided tour of the L’Oréal Paris headquarters, a stunning space where history and innovation come together. Walking through the sleek halls, we could feel the legacy of over a century of beauty innovation in the air.
One of the most unforgettable parts of the tour was the visit to the L’Oréal Museum , a truly unique space that showcases the evolution of every single product L’Oréal has ever created! The museum stands as a tribute to the brand’s rich history and commitment to pushing the boundaries of beauty and hair. From the first-ever hair dye produced in the early 1900s to the latest high-tech skincare and makeup launches, it was an inspiring walk through time.
Our team was in awe of the meticulous display of iconic products—from vintage packaging to groundbreaking formulations that shaped the beauty industry. It was a reminder of the power of innovation and how L’Oréal has consistently stayed ahead of trends by blending artistry with scientific breakthroughs.
A Day of Inspiration
The visit to the L’Oréal Paris head office wasn’t just about mastering technical skills—it was an inspiring reminder of why we do what we do. Our team left feeling energised and excited to continue and further our knowledge of INOA and L’Oréal’s colour techniques back to the salon floor. Being surrounded by such a rich history, while also learning about the future of hair colour, gave us a deeper appreciation of the artistry of hairdressing and the value of staying on the cutting edge of beauty.
Whether you're after a soft, natural look or a bold transformation, our team is ready to create something special for you—all while using the latest and greatest in clean color technology.
