The Official Launch of MATRIX - the US No.1 Professional Hair Care In Malaysia

MATRIX, the No. 1 brand in American Salons is the latest haircare brand launched by L’Oreal Malaysia. This is a leading American salon brand created by hairdressers for hairdressers.

I was invited to attend this amazing launch party! L’Oreal Malaysia has transforming the event venue: Neverland @ Jalan Kia Peng, into a world of Matrix – fully equipped with a 11 foot Matrix photowall and its very own ‘Matrix’ statue of liberty.

Let's start with history of MATRIX:

• Matrix was founded in 1980 by an American husband and wife hairdressing team: Arnie and Sydell Miller.   
• A brand created by hairdressers for hairdressers, Arnie Miller had only one vision: “I look forward to the day when every hairdresser can proudly say ‘I am a hairdresser.’”  
• With the recent launch of Matrix in Malaysia, this innovative and dynamic brand is now present in 58 countries and more than 275,000 salons globally.

Matrix is a brand for every salon.  By providing hairdressers with a full range of professional salon products, accessible education and business-building programs that allow them to be successful, Matrix wants hairdressers to “Imagine All You Can Be” so that their dreams can become a reality.  With a strong focus on education, every Malaysian hairdresser can NOW be connected to the latest trends in styles and cuts !  Matrix is committed to sharing its passion, knowledge and creativity to those who are connected with the brand.

The presence of celebrity guests such as Yeoh Yan Yan, Jack Lim, Gan Mei Yan, Jeff Chin, Gillian Hung, Daphne Iking, Vanida Imran, Chermaine Poo, Annabelle Kong, Tracy Cheong, Karena and many more.
