Hi, I’m Shannen, founder of Kuki Hair Co. When I turned 50 and hit menopause, I faced a major life shift—hot flashes. I have always had long hair. But with the hot flashes, my long hair had to go. I chopped it off thinking I’d have to spend even more time styling it every day. A small sacrifice, I thought, for a cool neck.
But then I discovered something incredible: with the right products, I didn’t have to forgo my usual wash and air dry routine. I could skip the blow dryer and still have hair that looked like I spent 30 minutes styling it—in just 30 seconds.
That’s when I knew I had to create Kuki, a haircare brand designed for busy people who want effortless, beautiful hair without the hassle. Don't get me wrong—if you have a special night out and want to blow dry your hair, you absolutely can. Our products were created by stylists to perform in the salon after all. But Kuki gives you the flexibility to blow or not to blow dry—because great hair should be effortless, no matter how you style it. Because looking good should be simple.
