OUR STORY

FAMILY VALUES
Watermans was founded in 2012 by husband and wife team Matt and Gail Waterman a salon owner / stylist of stylist 32 years.
Based in Yorkshire, England the company focuses on luxurious hair care that helps your hair to feel thicker and fuller.
The idea for the business was developed when they both began suffering from different variations of hair loss. After a variety of products on the market, they could not find anything that did the trick and decided to create their own formula to revitalise the appearance of hair and improve how thicker and fuller their hair felt.
Gail, a former hairdresser and salon owner who has had a background in the hair industry for over 32 years and Matt, a marketing expert, knew what high salon standard needed to be achieved when producing this product.
The development journey began in 2012-2014, which was then tested by both of them and then brought into the salon environment to test on Gail's salon customers where there were a range of different hair types, textures and hair problems to experiment on and to substantiate the efficacy of their products.
Watermans products are shipped to our Australia & New Zealand customers promptly from South Yorkshire, UK.
