Horst Rechelbacher,
Founder
Aveda Corporation founder Horst M. Rechelbacher has
redefined the face of "beauty" worldwide. For nearly four
decades, he has been a major, motivating force in hair care and the
beauty industry. A world-renowned hair stylist, artist, entrepreneur and
educator, he's a master of innovation: moved by a keen intelligence,
artist talent and quest for knowledge, he has invented and perfected
cutting-edge techniques, trends, products and treatments imbued with the
multiple benefits of pure flower and plant ingredients.
His belief in the powers of plants and his efforts to
preserve the environment, combined with his lifelong commitment to
excellence, have spawned a new sense of beauty that goes far beyond
surface image. Reflected in Aveda's expanding global network of
education including Aveda Institutes, Concept Salons and Spas and
Environmental Lifestyle Stores, the Aveda idea of beauty encompasses a
total body approach to care, using plant-based products, treatments and
simple rituals to enhance appearance, well-being and the quality of
life. In turn, this approach also advocates more environmentally
responsible business practices and lifestyles.
Today, Horst is as integral to the evolution and
implementation of his vision as he was 20 years ago. Committed to the
fusion of beauty and healthy care, he tours the nation, helping others
integrate balance, wellness and beauty into their daily lives. His new
book, Aveda Rituals, is currently available.
