John Frieda Hair Care is calling on some of the hair industry’s best and brightest stars for an exciting new launch. The haircare brand recently unveiled its first-ever collective of haircare experts, called House of Frieda.
Made up of six of the world’s best stylists, beauty writers, and content creators, this multifaceted collective has been tapped to educate consumers on the brand’s product range. Along with creating content that showcases the transformative benefits of John Frieda’s products, the House of Frieda experts will also serve as media spokespeople and act as a “think tank” to ensure that their hair expertise is infused into the brand’s future plans. Additionally, the collective will serve as a liaison between consumers and the John Frieda brand, levering their own social channels and relationship with their clients.
“With the House of Freida, we are going back to our roots,” says Marissa Vallillo, Director of Marketing at John Frieda Hair Care. “Our salon heritage has driven our brand to create breakthrough, game-changing products that make our consumers feel like they have a piece of that expertise in every bottle. I am excited to partner with this incredibly talented team of stylists and creators to help us showcase how powerful the transformative benefits of our brand can be.”
This expert-led programming kicks off this fall and runs through 2024 and beyond. Each member of the House of Frieda collective will have their own curated bundle featured on the brand’s website and their content will be showcased across their respective social media platforms as well as the brand’s channels. Their presence will extend across the digital landscape—from Instagram to TikTok—as well as the brand’s website.
