The Cutting Edge are pleased to stock Redken Haircare Products.

Redken Laboratories, founded in 1960, is a company built from the inspiration of a dynamic, entrepreneurial American actress named Paula Kent. Paula Kent and her hairdresser, Jheri Redding (thus the name “REDKEN”) began with three products and an intensive education program for hairdressers about the chemistry of hair and skin. The formulas were developed based on three principles:

  • Protein technology (since hair is composed primarily of protein)
  • An acidic pH of 4.5-5.5, complementing the natural pH of the hair and skin
  • Products recommended exclusively by licensed cosmetologists in professional salonsRedken’s philosophy on beauty powered by scienceBeginning in 1960, Redken revolutionized the professional salon business by introducing the concept of protein reconditioning. Based on evidence that hair is composed primarily of proteins, and can absorb topically applied proteins, Redken developed new protein based products. Salons were suddenly able to condition hair internally and for the long-term rather than solely camouflage damage.Redken soon began to develop patented protein technologies and now holds over 60 global patents on products and ingredients. In fact, Redken’s two latest patents for protein technology are the basis for our haircare and styling lines.Patent issued for Redken’s exclusive Interbond Conditioning System. An integral part of Redken’s haircare collection, it provides simple solutions to specific needs by carrying highly specialized ingredients to the hair. These ingredients help transform the hair’s inner structure while dramatically improving its outer appearance.Patent issued for Redken’s new 3D Repair Complex, which is in the EXTREME line of haircare products.
