About Us

Highbrow Hippie was founded in 2011 by Kadi Lee and Myka Harris as a platform for thoughtful conversation around beauty, culture, and conscious living. In 2019, that community became physical with the opening of the Highbrow Hippie Atelier in Venice, California - a space designed to bring hair health to the forefront of the beauty conversation.

Working behind the chair, Kadi began seeing a consistent pattern: meaningful hair loss, thinning, and breakage tied to major life transitions - stress, hormonal shifts, illness, postpartum, perimenopause. Hair was rarely the isolated issue. It was often the first visible signal of internal change.

In 2024, Highbrow Hippie Haircare and Wellness launched to address that gap. Built from decades of hands-on experience, the line is grounded in one core understanding: hair exists within an ecosystem. Scalp conditions, internal health, stress, hormones, and aging all influence growth and integrity. Effective care must account for all of it.

Highbrow Hippie develops science-based formulations that support that ecosystem - strengthening the foundation of the scalp, improving strand resilience, and bridging external treatment with internal support. The goal is not cosmetic illusion, but long-term vitality.

Healthy hair is cultivated - and real care begins at the root.
