Bumble and bumble is a fast-growing, luxury hair care brand located in NYC. It started as an NYC salon in 1977 and evolved into a multi-million dollar brand comprised of 2 salons, a product company that houses a strong in-house creative agency, a direct sales force, and a university for hairdressers and salon owners. To this day we are committed to cultivating creativity while remaining deeply and passionately dedicated to the craft, culture and commerce of hairdressing. As of 06/2000, Bumble and Bumble, LLC operates as a subsidiary of The Estee Lauder Companies, Inc.

Our first ever hair salon, Rush Wimbledon, was opened in 1994 by founders Andy and Stell who shared one vision; to create stunningly beautiful yet wearable hairstyles, each as unique and individual as you. We now have over 50 Rush hair and beauty salons, each unique in their location, decor, and people yet united in their passion. Our Artistic Team has been making their mark in hairdressing history since 1999. Their groundbreaking creativity and extraordinary talent has led them to win an outstanding 13 British Hairdressing Awards and their impact on the worldwide hairdressing industry, coupled with an ever-growing celebrity clientele, is a testament to their passion for their craft. In 2008 we opened our very own Advanced Academy. We strongly believe that excellence can only be achieved through strong foundations and a commitment to your craft, so we offer training courses taught by our inspirational Artistic Team to each and every one of our hairstylists, thus ensuring that their passion, creativity, and skill is continually nurtured and developed, and that you can be confident that when it comes to hair, your stylist knows their stuff. In 2010 we also formed the Rush Session Team, headed up by Tina Farey, the crème de la crème of editorial hairstylists; they’ve developed a fantastic profile at the heart of the fashion industry. The team has been a favourite a London Fashion Week ever since and are honored to have worked alongside the likes of Belle Sauvage, Pam Hogg and PPQ to mention a few. We’ve come a long way since 1994, but that philosophy has stayed with us through thick and thin. It’s you, by Rush.

IT ALL STARTED BACK IN 1988. Ryan Tokko opened a modest mom & pop, beauty store located in the heart of Los Angeles. He made it his personal mission to never turn away a customer seeking hair options. This mindset led Ryan down a journey of uniquely sourcing a variety of hair textures – the first in the industry at the time, while innovating easier ways to apply hair extensions. He was the first to create what is now known as clip-in hair extensions and worked with professional stylists all over to discover time-saving techniques and longer lasting, higher quality extensions. As the store grew, the clientele grew, and The Hair Shop Inc. began servicing the best in the industry from celebrity stylists, renown production studios, to respectable influencers. For the past 30 years and even more so today, The Hair Shop Inc. continues to remain on the forefront of meeting clients’ needs and delivering the best quality possible.
