Kérastase
Professional luxury haircare with scalp-focused and strengthening formulas.
Kérastase has built its reputation as the gold standard in professional luxury haircare — a brand where formulation science meets salon experience. Founded in France and distributed exclusively through professional channels, Kérastase lines are designed around specific hair and scalp diagnoses: breakage-related hairfall (Genesis), moisture and repair (Nutritive), strand strengthening (Résistance), scalp health (Specifique), and more. Each product range is named and formulated for a precise concern, not a generic "moisturizing" or "strengthening" claim. The Genesis line — which includes the Genesis Serum Fortifiant — was developed specifically in response to hairfall caused by mechanical and chemical breakage rather than scalp conditions or androgenetic causes. Kérastase products contain fragrance as part of the signature salon experience, which is an important consideration for sensitive scalps. The brand is widely used in salons and is also available direct-to-consumer at a premium price point that reflects the formulation quality and professional heritage.
