Shaun Pulfrey was already a sought-after top colorist when he had the idea for Tangle Teezer. As he became the go-to guy in the salon for knots and detangling, Shaun saw the need for an innovation in that particular area of hair care, and set about designing a tool that would easily separate strands and reduce breakage. In 2007, he founded the brand, which has garnered accolades, awards, and a celebrity following that are devoted to Tangle Teezer's commitment to innovation.
