The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Bumble and bumble started in New York in 1977. Michael Gordon founded the salon on the Upper East Side. The brand makes hair care products and styling treatments. Their heat-protectant spray became essential for blow-dry culture in the 1990s. The salon trained stylists to create a signature aesthetic: textured, lived-in hair. Today the brand operates salons and sells products globally. They rank seventh among 21,133 tracked brands in Beauty and Personal Care.
