Our Story
Born in the Salon.
Built for Stylists.
Color Stain Guard was created by a hairstylist who was tired of spending the last five minutes of every color service scrubbing color off a client's skin. There had to be a better way.
How It Started
The Problem We Solved
Every hairstylist knows the frustration. You've just created a perfect color — the tone is flawless, the coverage is even — and then you spend the final minutes of the appointment trying to remove stubborn color stains from your client's hairline, ears, and neck. It's time-consuming, it's uncomfortable for the client, and it leaves a less-than-perfect impression.
Color Stain Guard was created to solve a problem that professional hairstylists have faced for years—hair color staining the skin along the hairline. The founder, a professional colorist with more than 30 years of experience behind the chair, tested numerous products but was unable to find a water-based formula that delivered the performance she wanted. Determined to create a better solution, she developed her own formula and invited fellow hairstylists to test it and provide honest feedback. The response was overwhelmingly positive. Based on their enthusiasm and real-world results, Color Stain Guard was born—a lightweight, water-based liquid gel formula that applies in seconds and rinses away effortlessly when the hair color is shampooed out.
