Paul Brown, master hairstylist, educator and businessman, heads an international company today and promotes his beloved Hawaii all over the world. Brown's far-reaching business had its start when he opened his first Honolulu hair salon in 1971.

In the late 1980's Paul Brown founded the successful international hair care products company which bears his name. From his long experience and knowledge of hair styling, and because of his love of Hawaii and his work there, he took Hawaiian plant and sea essences and adapted them into superb multicultural shampoos, conditioners and other products. These products are now sold in professional salons across the U.S.A., Europe, Canada, Australia, Mexico, South America and Asia imparting the healthy glow of Hawaii to the hair of the purchasers, wherever in the world they live.

Mr. Brown痴 reputation as an educator and developer of a highly respected product line carries over to Asia and he is often asked to present educational seminars to large groups of Asian visitors. In addition, he travels extensively giving demonstrations and explaining his distinctive technique in Italy, the United Kingdom, Canada, Belgium, the Netherlands, Iceland and Germany.

Since arriving in Honolulu in 1970 Paul Brown has developed a personal clientele that includes the Morita family (founders of Sony) and Yaeko Shiotsuki (Etiquette Director for Japan痴 Emperor), Hawaii's highest elected officials, business leaders and entertainers. International notables and European and Asian royalty seek out Paul Brown's services when they spend time in Hawaii.

Recently the readers of the Honolulu Star-Bulletin voted Paul Brown Salons " Hawaii's Best." The Paul Brown Salons & Spas have been recognized by the industry in the 鉄alon Today 200,� an annual profile of the 200 fastest-growing salons in North America.

Brown has also been recognized nationally for his extraordinary charitable efforts and contributions in Hawaii. Salon Today, the leading national trade publication for the beauty and spa industry, named him Philanthropist of the Year. Brown is a member of the board of directors of the International Chain Salon Association (ICSA), an advocacy and education group for the industry. The Paul Brown companies are members of The Salon Association (TSA) and the Beauty and Barber Supply Institute (BBSI).

Paul Brown has maintained a highly successful salon business for more than 34 years. His haircare line is now a dozen years old. Both the Paul Brown services and products are noted for their multicultural emphasis, developed because of the traditionally rich mix of cultures in Hawaii.
