It all started with a question.
What if the application is just as important as the product?
“I didn’t just want to improve the hair color experience—I wanted to transform it. The Hummingbird was born out of a belief that precision can be powerful, that creativity should feel effortless, and that every person deserves tools that bring their best hair to life.”

As a former salon professional with 15 years behind the chair, I thought I knew everything about hair color—until I started doing it at home. What I found was disappointing: flimsy, one-use bottles that made a mess, lacked precision, and left me questioning the results. It was a wake-up call. The same level of care I gave clients in the salon didn’t exist in the at-home experience. I became determined to change that—bringing professional standards to everyday color. I knew the solution had to be reusable, thoughtfully engineered, and capable of delivering flow control and precision with every squeeze. No more overprocessing. No more frustration. No more ketchup-bottle chaos. After years of development, testing, and relentless refinement, The Hummingbird® was born. A smarter, cleaner, more empowering way to color—built for anyone who believes doing it yourself should still feel like a salon-grade experience.
