About Us
The Heart of The Daily Hair Company
The Daily Hair Company is the culmination of Renee Geraghty’s 25-year hair industry journey as the co-owner of Vancouver’s only non-aerosol, perfume-free hair studio, AXIS Hair Salon & Professional HairCare. As a perfume-sensitive clean beauty advocate who actually breathes the air in her salon, Renee reached a breaking point with the dry shampoo status quo. She was tired of the "toxic trio": harsh aerosols, synthetic fragrances that linger like a bad habit, and talc that has no business being near your scalp. Refusing to believe that "clean" was code for "doesn't work," Renee spent five years perfecting a dry shampoo + texture spray that mirrors her own uncompromising standards. The result? SELF-ABSORBED™.
Her hero product isn't just an alternative, it’s a direct challenge to the dry shampoo industry. By delivering a pure, benzene-free, and perfume-free formula directly to your door, The Daily Hair Company proves you can have the great hair without the side of chemicals. For Renee, this isn’t just a business, it’s a 25-year dedication to beauty without the toxic trade-offs.
Why "Clean" Matters Here
Unlike many brands that simply "cleanwash" their labels, Renee is dedicated to producing alternatives to aerosol and synthetic fragrance. By removing petroleum based propellants and perfumes, The Daily Hair Company addresses the two biggest irritants in modern hair styling, making it a gold standard for sensitive users and health-conscious consumers alike.
The Mission: The Daily Hair Company
Our mission is simple: Stop the toxic relationship you have with your dry shampoo. For too long, the hair industry has asked you to trade your respiratory health for a little extra volume. At The Daily Hair Company, we think that’s a garbage deal. We create high-performance, aerosol-free, and perfume-free solutions that actually work. No benzene, no "mystery scents," and absolutely no compromises. We’re here to give you great hair days without the side of existential dread.
In late 2022, the media began to report that some of the best-known dry shampoo brands in North America contained dangerous levels of benzene, which is known to cause cancer. We’ve written a little bit about this here. This safety scare confirmed to Renee that her product was not only wanted, but needed. People deserve access to effective hair products, without putting their health at risk.
A Note From Renee
Hi, I’m Renee. I’ve spent over 25 years co-owning Vancouver’s AXIS Hair Salon & Professional Hair Care which means I’ve seen it all, and smelled it all. Somewhere along the way, the industry decided that "clean hair" should involve a cloud of butane and synthetic perfume that lingers longer than an unwanted houseguest.
I wasn't having it. In fact, my salon has been and continues to be free of aerosol hairsprays with synthetic fragrances. And guess what, none of my team members have industry related skin or breathing issues. I'm beyond proud of that!
After years of struggling to find an effective non-aerosol dry shampoo, I put my lab to work to create a dry shampoo that didn't require a hazmat suit. The result is SELF-ABSORBED™. Yes, I trademarked it in Canada, because when you spend half a decade making something this good, you put a ring on it.
The Daily Hair Company is my way of bringing salon-grade, non-toxic magic directly to your bathroom. It’s perfume-free, aerosol-free, and benzene-free. It’s basically the only thing in your life that’s actually "low drama."
Stay clean (literally),
