House of Jean-Pierre, Incorporated (United States) and Jean-Pierre Créations de Paris, Incorporated (Canada) manufactures, distributes, and sells premium salon quality hairbrushes. The brushes are manufactured in France to the highest quality standards from the finest material and manufacturing techniques. Originally available in only the finest hair styling salons, the Jean-Pierre Hairbrush is now available on-line and includes a 30-Day 100% Unconditional Satisfaction Guarantee and a Lifetime Warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Jean-Pierre Creations de Paris, Inc. was founded in Montreal, Canada in 1963, by "Jean-Pierre", an acclaimed Hair Stylist in Paris and Montreal. Unable to find a high quality hairbrush that suited both his needs and hair styling technique, namely a hairbrush that was comfortable to hold and easy to control - a brush that gently stimulated the scalp without producing static, Jean-Pierre began to mentally design his vision of the "ideal" hairbrush. Having defined his exact needs, he began to search for a company dedicated to quality and and fine workmanship to produce the hairbrush he had envisioned. After a lengthy search, he met with a hairbrush designer and manufacturer in the French countryside. Working with the designers, specifications that included the highest quality materials and finest workmanship were defined. A cushioned format was chosen for its' ability to gently massage the scalp. Premium First Cut Natural Boar Bristle and White Crystalline Nylon were the materials chosen for the working end of the hairbrush. The "tufts" of boar bristle, or white nylon (depending on the brush type) were set in the cushion at uneven lengths, allowing the hair to be gently de-tangled and smoothed into place. The pneumatic cushion, with its' small vent hole, allowed the slow escape of air when depressed. This action, prevented the brush from being used on the scalp too aggressively. If too much pressure was applied, the cushion simply responded by "venting" to comply to the contour of the scalp. Seven models, originally designed for professional use only, were widely used by hair styling salons throughout Canada. The salon clientele liked the product so much they wanted to purchase it for their personal use. The original seven Jean-Pierre hairbrushes; the Prestige™, Privilège™, and Desirée™ (available in both First Cut Natural Boar Bristle and White Crystalline Nylon) and the Triomphe™, a brush originally designed as a "finishing" brush (complete with a protective bristle pouch for handbag and glove compartment), all became extremely popular. Jean-Pierre added three additional models; the value priced Grand Prix™, GiGi™, and Mimi™ , all with stiffer Black Nylon bristles. Available in Styling Salons and finer retailers throughout Montreal, Canada, the hairbrushes have gone virtually unchanged since they were first manufactured in the early sixties. The brushes continue to be best sellers in Montreal, Canada and have been recognized by a leading Canadian Consumer Publication as best in the market. Three Round Styling Brushes the Large Classique™, Medium Classique™, and Small Classique™, all featuring First Cut Premium Natural Boar Bristle and exotic Bubinga wood bodies were added in 1996. The Prestige Mélange™ a hairbrush featuring a special blend of First Cut Premium Natural Boar Bristle and Black Nylon was added to the product line-up in May, 1999. The company is family owned and operated and has recently expanded its' market to the United States.
