The history of Guinot began in France over 50 years thanks to Rene Guinot, a well-known chemist. The collection of skincare products, now known throughout the world as Guinot Paris, began with a focused approach to treating the skin with the now well-known Hydradermie treatment. From this beginning concept moved ahead with products compatible with those used in spa treatment made available for clients' use at home. Today, Guinot Paris skincare as well as the Guinot professional treatments are available in spas/salons throughout the world. Keeping its roots in the salons and spas where its professional treatments begin, Guinot Paris has increasingly expanded its retail operation and today is recognised as the leading skincare collection in prestige salons and spas everywhere. Today Guinot is the Number 1 Salon in France and has a commanding position in the Uk and Ireland with well over 1,000 salons and in many countries around the world.
