NEW YORK, July 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Hairstory, the unconventional haircare brand that pioneered the detergent-free cleansing movement, is pleased to announce the appointment of several new leadership hires, including Chief Executive Officer, Chief Marketing Officer, Vice President of Sales, and Design Director.
