Like all hairdressers, Christophe-Nicolas Biot started out as an apprentice. He was lucky enough to learn his trade from a "meilleur ouvrier de France" in a leading Mulhouse salon. Propelled onto the stage at the age of 17 by the artistic direction of Wella France, he learned the importance of dexterity, precision and rapidity of gesture during shows.
Christophe Nicolas Biot is a world-renowned hairstylist, colorist and botanical expert. His work and creativity have earned him recognition from both the professional hairdressing community and his customers.
He creates hairdressing shows that he presents all over the world. He's also one of the world's leading experts in vegetable color. It's been his DNA since the beginning.
In recent years, it has developed a unique coloring and care protocol to meet the most demanding health and environmental requirements of its customers.
His approach is part of a sustainable relationship for the body and the planet. That's why he offers his own line of pigments in addition to Wella's 100% plant-based EOS colorants, as well as ranges of organic and 100% natural skincare products to complement the color.
He's a visionary in the world of hairdressing. Always ahead of a trend and listening to his customers, he becomes the translator of their desires and needs, both in the style and in the hair and cosmetics products he offers today.
"I knew I wanted to be a hairdresser one day when I accompanied my mother to get her hair done. I loved the atmosphere in the salon, the smell of hairspray, the closeness between the hairdressers and their customers... I was only 14 at the time!
