The Official Launch of MATRIX - the US No.1 Professional Hair Care In Malaysia

MATRIX, the No. 1 brand in American Salons is the latest haircare brand launched by L’Oreal Malaysia. This is a leading American salon brand created by hairdressers for hairdressers.
I was invited to attend this amazing launch party! L’Oreal Malaysia has transforming the event venue: Neverland @ Jalan Kia Peng, into a world of Matrix – fully equipped with a 11 foot Matrix photowall and its very own ‘Matrix’ statue of liberty.
Let's start with history of MATRIX:
  • Matrix was founded in 1980 by an American husband and wife hairdressing team: Arnie and Sydell Miller.   
  • A brand created by hairdressers for hairdressers, Arnie Miller had only one vision: “I look forward to the day when every hairdresser can proudly say ‘I am a hairdresser.’”  
  • With the recent launch of Matrix in Malaysia, this innovative and dynamic brand is now present in 58 countries and more than 275,000 salons globally.
Matrix is a brand for every salon.  By providing hairdressers with a full range of professional salon products, accessible education and business-building programs that allow them to be successful, Matrix wants hairdressers to “Imagine All You Can Be” so that their dreams can become a reality.  With a strong focus on education, every Malaysian hairdresser can NOW be connected to the latest trends in styles and cuts !  Matrix is committed to sharing its passion, knowledge and creativity to those who are connected with the brand.
