About Gypsy Rose Australia - Gypsy Rose New Zealand

The Creation of Gypsy Rose Australia & New Zealand

Karen Ellis Gypsy Rose Australia Brainchild of environmentally-conscious Australian Hairdresser, Karen Ellis. Initially she developed and produced “Gypsy Rose Australia” range of un-tainted hair and body products in the pristine mountain ranges north of Brisbane.

Karen personally experienced a bout of serious illnesses and painful skin conditions caused from the over exposure to hair dyes, perming solutions, and synthetic shampoos/ conditioners. As a result, she developed the Gypsy Rose range for her own personnal use. While she soon realised that her reaction to the harsh hairdressing chemicals was not uncommon.

Hence a large and growing market was crying out for pure hair care products that were effective but gentle on the skin, hair and scalp.

And so, Gypsy Rose was born.
