Our take
Prose's products stem from the recognition that each individual's hair is unique, with various types and textures. Embracing this diversity, the company believes in the power of personalization to ensure everyone can access the hair care they truly need. To combat the one-size-fits-all approach of the hair care industry, Prose offers bespoke hair care solutions.
Amidst a booming trend of health and beauty personalization, Prose stands out among its competitors in the bespoke hair care arena. What sets the company apart is its unwavering commitment to the environment. Having achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first carbon-neutral custom beauty brand, attaining climate neutrality in 2021.
Prose's success has attracted substantial investments and interest, underscoring the industry's confidence in its products. With increased funds, the company aims to scale its operations and reach a broader customer base. As the demand for personalized beauty products continues to rise, the market is expected to expand, offering Prose ample opportunities for further growth.
