The Herby Story

The search for 100% natural hair care products
As a child growing up with allergies, Yoko Nakanishi was often sick and naturally became sensitive to health and environment. She took particular interest in self-healing and immune system strengthening, and came to know about the healing effects of the ‘miraculous herb’, henna.
With a vision to bring top quality henna to the Japanese market, she spent more than 10 years to research and develop Herby – a salon hair care product range that contains 100% natural ingredients including the highest-grade henna and other premium herbs.
Today, Herby is used by hair care professionals in salons across Japan.
As Yoko continues her mission to develop 100% natural salon and home hair care products that promote holistic care for hair care professionals and their customers, we are embarking on a journey to share our philosophy with like-minded salons and hair care professionals in Asia and around the world.
