Darphin

Pierre Darphin was a true visionary. In 1958, he revolutionized the beauty scene by setting up the first ever beauty institute in Paris with personalized services for complete hair, body and skin care solutions. Darphin’s Institute was for the chic brigade of Europe, the fashionably elite women of society. Highly qualified, Darphin was a chemical and medical scholar, qualified kinesitherapist, cosmetologist and son of a renowned hairdresser. Darphin truly believed a women’s skin reflected her life (most evident on the face) ñ her mental state, age, genetic makeup, lifestyle choices, environmental exposure and beauty care decisions.

Darphin went step further and got experts from beauty and health disciplines to interact with the clients. Manicure and pedicure experts, facialists, aromacologists, cosmetologists and massage therapists had to follow a strictly laid down protocol. Before treatments began, clients were offered extensive, personal one-hour individual analysis to offer best results. The analysis would review skin (on the body and face) and lifestyle with specific suggestions on treatments, special products and regimes to be followed at home. Darphin’s style became immensely successful due to its amazing results. Till date, Darphin’s beauty care philosophy remains the same with personalized attention and customised solutions. Darphin’s skincare range includes customized, 3-D Skin Care and the cosmetic range includes creams, purifying balms, waxes, aromatic mascaras and more.
