k. In the 80’s, even as recognition of his styling talent grew in fashion and celebrity circles, John became fascinated with organics in his personal life. He began to realize the serious health risks posed by inhaling and handling harsh salon chemicals day to day and became committed to creating a toxin-free salon environment. Eventually, John started to see clients in his NY apartment, where he used only ammonia-free herbal and clay based dyes from Europe and experimented with non-toxic forms of hair care. In 1991, John created his first organic product, Dry Hair Nourishment and Defrizzer. Ongoing, extensive research and testing of essential oils, plant extracts, and other health-food staples led shortly thereafter to the launch of John Masters Organics, the first comprehensive, luxury-organic hair care line. Still working quietly from his apartment, John (and the products) managed to attract a large and diverse “conscious clientele,” and in 1994, he opened his first Soho salon.
Under the name John Masters Organics, the salon quickly gained recognition as the only “clean-air salon” in Manhattan, meaning, they simply would not offer services – perms, manicures and many kinds of color – that require the use of toxic chemicals.
In ensuing years, the visionary John Masters Organics concept has continued to gather momentum. In 2001, the salon outgrew its original space and moved to the current Sullivan St. location. In the same year, John launched a line of paraben-free, organic facial skin care in response to overwhelming customer demand and in 2004, the brand was recipient of the coveted Soil Association Award for Best Organic Product Line in Europe.
Today, John Masters Organics is sold in 20 countries. John Masters splits his time between New York City and his country home in upstate New York. He continues to cut and color hair in the SoHo salon and, Maya, his treasured canine companion, is never far from his side. John remains dedicated to developing new products and updating the existing range as more advanced “natural product technologies” become available. His dream is still to provide the, “most organic, most natural product available on the market.”

As a little girl – during long walks in the woods with her Grandmother – HollyBeth began a lifelong affair with the natural world.
She learned that flowers, trees and herbs had names – and uses. She discovered that ordinary looking plants could be made into scented soaps, aromatic teas and flavorful salads.
All the products on these pages start – and end – with simple, easy-to-pronounce natural ingredients. Just as her grandmother would have made them.

Hello spring!
Now that you’re becoming more active, I’d like to help your muscles transition from winter to spring. The problem with cold winter months is we don’t move enough. Our bodies get out of shape and cold makes us stiff –a set up for injuries. When your body feels tight, it’s like wearing clothes or shoes that are too small. Don’t go there. Stretch!

Yes, now is the time where we show more skin, grab more V-necks, tank tops, and sun dresses. If you’re a beach bunny, changing foundation shades is something you know about and usually plan for, and if you’re a good girl and wear your sunscreen, many times, the chest is the pace that really takes a beating from the sun. It’s where we freckle more (especially as we age), and even forgotten about in our morning routine when moisturizing, especially if you rely on your moisturizer to provide that SPF. Let’s face it, who wants to use that much more moisturizer on your chest when you paid good money for that stuff! Matching your foundation to your lighter tonedface while having a darker toned chest, well, let’s just say….NOT good. You can look pastey, and sometimes even silly.
