Check out our new product!

You know the one.

That iconic Australian crème that smelled of lavender. The one you used to track down, import, and ration like it was liquid gold. The one that just worked on everything. Effortless texture, natural finish, nothing heavy or greasy. And then, quietly, it was gone from US shelves. No fanfare. Just… unavailable.

We heard about it constantly. From stylists. From customers. From people hoarding their last jar for years.

So we set out to fill that gap, and then some.

Hair Apothecary Crème N° 11 is coming to shelves very, very soon.

It was built at that same point of balance: where care meets styling, where control doesn't mean stiffness, and where finish doesn't mean residue. If that crème shaped how you think about what a finishing product should feel like, this will feel like coming home.

And we didn't stop at matching it. We made it better.

Slippery Elm Extract
One of nature's most powerful hair care ingredients. Its natural mucilage content provides exceptional slip for detangling, reduces breakage, and deeply moisturizes dry or curly hair. It also delivers nutrients like calcium and amino acids directly to the scalp and strand.

Hydrolyzed Keratin
A protein that forms a protective coating along the hair shaft; sealing in moisture, shielding against environmental stressors, and leaving hair visibly softer, stronger, and less prone to breakage.

Higher Glycerin:
An elevated level of this proven humectant means better hydration, improved manageability, and more consistent results day to day.

No Red 40. No synthetic dye. Cleaner formula, cleaner conscience.

Use it on wet or dry hair, on waves, curls, or any style. Soft control, subtle definition, natural finish. No weight. No residue.

The one you've been missing has a new name.

Hair Apothecary Crème N° 11

With care,

We'd like to take a minute to introduce you to Lisa!

With 30 years behind the chair, I’ve built a reputation as a blonding specialist and curly hair enthusiast who loves creating hair that turns heads and has you feeling yourself. From bright, dimensional blondes to helping curls live their best life, I’m all about results that feel confident, effortless, and uniquely you.

When I’m not doing hair, you’ll probably find me loving on animals, laughing at cat videos, or bringing that same fun energy into the salon. Great hair, good vibes, and a little personality. If you’re a Swiftie, we will be best friends immediately.
