More Than Extensions: The Story of The Hair Shop
Rooted in a rich legacy of more than three decades, The Hair Shop represents more than just a hair extensions company – we are your partners in artistry, innovation, and lasting success.
From the very beginning, our mission has been simple yet powerful: to provide every stylist and client with access to salon-quality hair solutions that inspire confidence and creativity.
A Founder’s Vision
The Hair Shop was founded by Ryan Tokko, a pioneer with a background in polymer engineering and an undeniable passion for hair. Ryan believed no customer should ever be turned away when searching for the right hair option. With that guiding principle, he combined science with artistry to invent some of the most innovative extension techniques in the industry.
From faster, easier application methods to sourcing the most diverse range of premium-quality colors, lengths, and textures, Ryan set a standard that continues to shape the future of professional extensions today.
A Commitment That Lasts
Decades later, The Hair Shop continues to lead with the same dedication to quality, innovation, and inclusivity. We’re proud to maintain the widest array of professional hair extensions, ensuring there’s an option for every stylist and every client’s unique vision.
But our purpose goes far beyond products. At the heart of what we do is the belief that success is shared. We stand alongside hairstylists, championing education, offering support, and fostering authentic connections across the beauty industry.
Growing With You
From our roots in California to our retail hubs in Los Angeles, Orange County, New York, and Houston, The Hair Shop has become more than a brand – it’s a community. These spaces serve as not only retail locations but also gathering places where stylists and clients can explore, learn, and create together.
As we look ahead, our mission is clear: to continue expanding nationally and globally, always with the same values of accessibility, artistry, and excellence that Ryan instilled in us. With every step forward, we remain trend-forward and innovative, setting the standard for what salon-quality extensions should be.
