Ch. 1-Overview of Marketing (Brief History and Mission Statement)



Is your hair a stylist’s walking masterpiece?  Does you hair color have an innovative and creative history? Goldwell hair products began in 1920 by Hans Erich Dotter. Hans Dotter had the idea of building a business while rebuilding the sense of beauty.  Hans wanted to work most closely with the people who instill beauty, which he identified as hairdressers.  With a breakthrough product the cold perm in 1948 Hans began to innovate within the hair industry. With the revolution of hair Goldwell expanded into the hair color market in 1978.  Still carrying their innovative technique Goldwell in 2001 released their ELUMEN hair color line after seven years of development. Elumen is a physical hair color rather than a chemical hair color. Following the similar ideas of Hans Erich Dotter Goldwell rebranded in 2014 with ideals “We embrace your passion for beautiful hair. We believe that only together we can reach new heights by achieving creative excellence, outstanding client satisfaction and salon success.  We do more than just understand you. We think like you. We think stylist”.
