About ECO Hair Products ®
The Company
ECO Hair Products ® is the Australian Distributor of the exclusive "Farouk Systems USA" range of Professional Salon Hair Care products, providing a refreshing change in the world of Hair and Beauty.
Have you noticed the overwhelming chemical smell that emulates from a Hairdressing Salon when you first enter it? That smell is due to the ammonia used in perming, colours, bleaches and hair straighteners. As there are new Occupational Health & Safety Policies in place, it will be safer to use less toxic, ammonia free products in colours, perms and straighteners. Also, without those toxic chemical fumes, there is no need to install the mandatory, expensive exhaust systems that are required to remove the fumes from the salon.
We are the first company to bring Australia products which are free of fumes & toxins, environmentally safe and not tested on animals. Our products produce outstanding results whilst keeping your hair in optimum condition, have a pleasant aroma, and are safe enough to rinse down the drain into our waterways. Our BIOGLITZ colours and CHI Lighteners have more depth and brightness, contain the highest grade of organic pigments blended with botanicals, fruit acids, herbs, olive oil, organic silk, and panthenol (Vitamin B5).
ECO Hair Products ® are committed to providing an exceptional standard of customer service, with focus on superior products at reasonable prices, prompt deliveries and ongoing training and advice. Run by Hairdressers, we are in tune with the needs of Hair Stylists. We can provide instant, expert advice as well as a wealth of experience and information - that's why our client base includes from of the most prestigious salons around Australia!
The Director
Cliff Georgiades has over 30 years experience in the Hairdressing Industry, owning salons in the Melbourne CBD area. A leading figure in the industry, he has won over 30 Australian and International awards, including the coveted Gold Medal by the Confederation Internationale de la Coiffure (the World Hairdressing Body in Paris), where he represented Australia as "Artistic Delegate & Chairman of Judges" from 1983-1998.
He was also the first person ever to receive a LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD in recognition for his outstanding contribution to the Hair and Beauty Industry at the 2001 Australian Hairdressing Championships.
Upon meeting the CEO of Farouk Systems at the Washington World Cup Championships in 1996, Cliff was so impressed with the Farouk Systems range of colours and the National Organic BioSilk retail line, that he brought in the entire range to test in his salons for over 2 years. In that time, his colour clientele increased by 50%.
Farouk Shami, a well-known hairdresser and USA Colour Champion, had to give up Hairdressing after developing a serious allergy to ammonia. This inspired him to invent the first AMMONIA FREE COLOUR TECHNOLOGY - BIO GLITZ CREME COLOUR 2100 - an oil-based ammonia and fumes free colour that can be used as a semi-permanent, demi-permanent, permanent, 100% grey-coverage, Hi-Lift and can lift tint with tint.
After attending the Farouk Systems Conference in Las Vegas in 1998 (with over 500 distributors from around the globe), Cliff decided to import the entire range to Australia, and officially launched ECO Hair Products Pty Ltd at the 1999 Hair Expo at Darling Harbour in Sydney.
