SARAH di iorio, FOUNDER

As a young hairdresser, Sarah Di Iorio and many of her clients had adverse reactions to colours and common hair products. Seeing the effects of products on people’s eyes, scalps and skin was the catalyst to understand more about healthy products and services in the hair industry. These reactions were especially worrying for young children and pregnant woman. Sarah decided that staff and clients deserved an alternative which enabled them to look and feel fantastic without the compromises – and Organika Hair was created as a direct realisation of that vision.
