Preview House of Dear’s clean hair care made for all people and hair types.







While Holly Dear actively works seeing clients at Dear Clark Salon, she has also spent the last six years listening to guest feedback and quietly formulating luxurious, clean hair care just for them. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit and the salon grind stopped, she was able to focus on bringing her product line to life.
Now, launching January 2021, Holly is excited for everyone to meet House of Dear, a labor of love and natural ingredients. The innovative line boasts six products that help bring hair back to life, thanks to scalp-loving formulations with Rose of Jericho, aloe vera, sunflower seed oil, witch hazel and more revitalizing ingredients.
Holly hopes to use this launch to bring renewed awareness to skincare in the salon industry. “Our industry is behind in skincare. We’re putting product on clients – but we’re also putting that product all over us and on our hands every day,” she told MODERN SALON. “Ingredients are something we shouldn’t ignore. I want to educate on clean beauty, and the industry needs to focus on it too because clients care about it.”
House of Dear is also all about breaking down barriers in beauty. It’s gender neutral, designed to look pretty in every shower, and accessible through affordable pricing under $35. Ahead, get to know more about House of Dear and Holly’s hand-crafted products.
