Ask our team at Murphy Gozzard one of the brands they reach for most and the answer is often Kevin Murphy. In fact, it's a brand that has earned its place in our salon through some pretty unbelievable results. Here's everything you need to know.
What Is Kevin Murphy?
Kevin Murphy is an Australian-born professional hair care brand founded by session stylist Kevin Murphy, whose career spanning international runways and editorial shoots directly shaped every formula. The brand is built on a simple philosophy: salon-quality ingredients in lightweight, high-performance formulas, inspired by skincare, not traditional hair care.
Furthermore, Kevin Murphy is committed to sustainable packaging and cruelty-free, colour-safe formulas. For a salon like Murphy Gozzard, that commitment aligns perfectly with how we think about the products we put on our clients' hair.

What Makes Kevin Murphy Different?
The formulas are built around high-quality, ethically sourced ingredients, many derived from nature. Every product is sulphate-free, paraben-free, and designed to protect colour-treated hair. In other words, they work harder without doing damage. And because the brand was developed by a working session stylist, every product solves a real problem rather than a manufactured one.
