Our performance comes from the excellent development of our organization, structures and processes. Moreover, we also strive for excellence in social matters, in people-oriented leadership, in developing our staff’s personalities and in our relationships with our partners and customers.
In the beginning...
Our story begins in 1930 with Josef Gschwentner, who opened his Vienna hair "Studio." To help his customers, he developed his own hair dyeing and hair care products, which stood apart from other products due to their efficacy and intensity.
Motivated by his products' great success and high demand from competitors, he began making products for other hairdressers and thus laid the foundation for Gschwentner Haarkosmetik in 1950. The company grew beyond Austria's borders as a producer of professional hairdressing products.
Cue RefectoCil®
Gschwentner developed and launched RefectoCil, a professional hair dye for eyebrows and eyelashes. Over the following years, the colour range was expanded to comprise 8 shades, Blonde Brow and Intense Brow[n]s™ (formerly the sensitive range).
Expanding our product lines into the care and accessories segments further strengthened the brand, making RefectoCil the global leader in professional eye styling.
Relying on the cooperation of our worldwide partners and customers, our brand has come to reflect the highest product quality, the best dyeing results and continuous product innovation, proven by millions of successful treatments.
