The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Joico started in 1975 in the United States. Founders Joanne and Iccardo created a professional haircare line for stylists. The brand built its name on color-treated hair products and sulfate-free formulas. Joico introduced K-PAK, a protein-complex treatment, which defined the brand for decades. Today salons worldwide stock their shampoos, conditioners, and styling products. The company operates in beauty and personal care globally. Among 21,133 tracked brands, Joico ranks twelfth in Beauty and Personal Care. Professionals and color-conscious consumers remain their core audience.
