Jen Atkin, OUAI Founder
“If you haven’t heard of Jen Atkin yet, no offense, but where have you been? The go-to mane master for the entire Kardashian family was recently declared the most influential hairstylist in the world by The New York Times.” – Elle.com
Brand Identity
Inspired by vintage French packaging, the brand is chic, modern and minimal. Beauty imagery, shot by Mike Rosenthal, captures Jen’s signature “model-off-duty” look.
NAMING
“Ouai means yes, in that casual, Parisian way. It’s about saying yes to real hair for real life. And to looking chic, no matter how many followers you have.”
–Jen Atkin
PACKAGING
“I wanted it to look really pretty in the bathroom ... have it be selfie-worthy.” – Jen Atkin
