History and Origins

Martha is inspired by Martha Matilda Harper, a pioneer of modern hairdressing in the 19th century.

• Born in 1857 in Canada, she became a domestic servant from childhood, then an expert hairdresser for over 20 years (martha.paris).
• At 31, she opened the first hair salon in Rochester (United States), invented the shampoo basin, developed a natural tonic for the scalp, and then launched a product laboratory (martha.paris).
• Her method, the Harper Method, is based on scalp care as the foundation of hair beauty. She trained hundreds of women, creating a network of artisan franchise salons (martha.paris).
• Martha Matilda Harper passed away in 1950. Her company disappeared shortly after, but her legacy endures through the MARTHA brand (martha.paris).
