American International Industries has been manufacturing many of the world’s finest professional beauty products in Los Angeles since its inception over forty years ago. Zvi Ryzman, the owner of the company is so committed to keeping his business local and employing people in his massive (and ever growing) factories, that he has employees who have been there for dozens of years in roles from Senior VP of Sales to factory janitorial staff. They manufacture over 60 brands in the beauty industry (Ardell, Clubman Pinaud, Gigi Wax, Satin Smooth, etc.) and you’ve likely used at least one of them during your lifetime. Headquartered in Los Angeles, the company is at the heart of beauty and fashion. American International Industries’ continued access to the latest trends has given way to fresh and innovative products.
In 1980, John Paul DeJoria and hairstylist Paul Mitchell converted a partially borrowed $700 into what is today the largest privately held salon hair care line, producing more than 100 products, with a presence in over 100 countries. While the ingredients come from around the world, John Paul Mitchell Systems’ hair care products are manufactured in Santa Clarita and distributed globally from the 180,000 square ft. corporate headquarters/distribution center that is also located in Santa Clarita, a mere block up the street from the manufacturing plant. DeJoria and Mitchell had a vision to start a company that would provide tools of success for hair care professionals, their salons, and the entire beauty industry. This vision holds true today, despite lucrative offers from public corporations, DeJoria refuses to sell because of the vow he took to stand by the professional beauty industry.
