Visit to L’Oreal Paris Labs Mumbai

Hey guys,

Few weeks back, I was invited to visit the L’Oreal Paris Labs in Mumbai and see how they make the hair color, process, behind the scenes, etc.

At first, we were given an introduction to the new L’Oreal Paris Casting Creme Gloss and the new Chocolate Collection (See more HERE). We were given a presentation about what goes behind L’Oreal Paris and the research in the labs by Maxime De Boni.

Then we took a round of the L’Oreal Labs on the other floor. Later we saw the rooms where they give the hair color to women to try on themselves and observe their way of application, way of washing it, etc. They also help them or teach them if they feel the method is not right.

A discussion room right besides their room, to work on their observations and how and what they can include in the product, to make it easier for women to colour their hair at home by themselves.

We also saw a small experimental salon where they colour their hair and a light room to check the hair colour under the dark light.

Overall, it was good to see ‘what goes beyond’ the hair color and the research involved. Though I would say, it could have been better if we were taken inside the labs to see it live, but since it was against the company’s policy, can’t do much there.

Have you seen any lab where makeup/hair products are made ? Your experience ?
