ABOUT GOLDWELL

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

A Message from Mr. Cory Couts President & CEO of KPSS Inc.

Dear Stylists, Salon Partners and Friends,

Goldwell is, and will always be, a brand exclusively dedicated to serving the hairdressing community with professional-only products, services, education and tools designed to deliver exceptional value and results to salons, stylists and, ultimately, their clients.

As the Goldwell motto clearly states, we continually strive to be "Closer to Stylists. Closer to Hair." This close professional partnership and our direct involvement with hairdressers across the globe is something I am passionate about and committed to developing even further in years to come. Through innovative technologies, superior formulas and unsurpassed results, Goldwell is already the brand of choice to many discerning stylists and creative colorists across North America. Our goal is simple – to help you grow your business and flourish artistically and professionally with Goldwell and our entire KPSS portfolio including the KMS California brand.

I strongly believe in and foster a culture of mutual respect and open dialogue internally, externally and globally with salons and stylists. As part of this, I always welcome your thoughts, ideas and input as we propel KPSS Inc. (and you!) to new heights.

Together, our future is truly bright, colorful and boundless.

Sincerely,

Cory Couts
