Premium salon-only hair care brand built on skincare science
KEVIN.MURPHY is a professional hair-care manufacturer operating a salon-exclusive distribution model from Brisbane. The stack is marketing-focused (TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest, Canva, Adobe Creative Suite) paired with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central for operations—a pattern typical of brand-led consumer companies managing wholesale channels. Hiring has decelerated to a single role in the past month, with gaps across engineering and sales relative to growth ambitions (national expansion, margin protection, platform efficiency).
KEVIN.MURPHY designs and distributes professional-grade hair care products for salon use, founded in 2004 by editorial hairstylist Kevin Murphy. The range includes the core KEVIN.MURPHY line and COLOR.ME, a color-focused sub-brand, both formulated with natural ingredients and free of sulphates, parabens, and animal testing. Products reach salons globally, with particular strength in the Australian market. The company positions itself as performance-driven—applying skincare principles to hair care—and has won industry recognition including Allure Beauty awards. Operations span 51–200 employees across Australia, the United States, and Cyprus.
