Leading beauty salon brand

Mary Cohr, leading beauty salon treatment brand in France.

For the last 40 years, Mary Cohr's mission has been to help women become more attractive using its exclusive and innovative treatments.

At Mary Cohr, beauty professionals known as Beauty Therapists combine their expertise with Mary Cohr treatment methods to achieve instantly visible results..

The son of a plastic surgeon, current President and CEO of the Guinot-Mary Cohr Group Jean Daniel Mondin obtained a PhD in pharmacy.

With this new-found expertise, his own vision and medical background, Mondin redefined the concept of ‘cosmetics’.

One of the few people in the world to have a scientific background and manage a cosmetics company, Mondin decided to create a high-tech laboratory that voluntarily complied with the high standards of the pharmaceutical industry..

In its VIP treatment room, the beauty salon of the Hôtel Georges V in Paris offered exclusive treatments to a foreign VIP clientele visiting the French capital. The brand’s popularity and renown spread by word of mouth from this prestigious location!

Mary Cohr has chosen the beauty salon as the only suitable professional facility serious enough for qualified Beauty Therapists to carry out beauty treatments.

In beauty salons, women discovered a highly professional environment where the Beauty Therapist, like a ‘Beauty Doctor’, prescribed the products most suited to their skin.

Today, the Mary Cohr brand is the beauty salon market leader.
