By 2023, the haircare brand has gone global, and its products are in 40,000 doors and 26 countries with over 70 retailers, including CVS, Target, US Costco, and Walmart.
MONDAY Haircare made some exciting hair product releases, including a treatment, dry shampoo, and refill bags with 80% less plastic than its traditional bottles. Jaimee and Mowbray plan on launching seven more brands over the next 18 months.
Her brand used recycled plastic for bottles and opted for screen-printing labels instead of adhesive stickers to reduce the beauty industry’s waste problem.
