L’Oréal Professionnel USA announced that industry veteran Michelle Ryan has joined the brand as Senior Vice President of Marketing.
Ryan comes to L’Oréal Professionnel with an extensive background in haircare, hair color and the salon industry, having joined L’Oréal in 2001 following the company’s Matrix acquisition.

In her new role, Ryan will strongly focus on elevating L’Oréal Professionnel’s overall brand position in the U.S., strengthen the brand’s partnership and presence in salons, while continuing to build its color and retail business as well as launch an assortment of new offerings in 2017 and beyond.
