LOS ANGELES, July 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Chris McMillan, the trendsetting hairdresser behind "The Rachel," the "CLB," and some of the most iconic looks in pop culture, is launching his namesake haircare brand. Backed by over four decades behind the chair, in the salon and on set, the line reflects Chris's take on styling: classic, high-performance products that work, no matter your hair type. The collection will debut exclusively on ChrisMcMillan.com and Sephora.com on August 12, and in select Sephora stores nationwide on August 18. Consumers can also shop The Classics Styling Kit early on August 11, exclusively on the Sephora App.

For Chris, this launch is more than just a line of products. It is a personal milestone, years in the making, starting from the moment he picked up his first pair of scissors. After decades of helping people elevate to the best version of themselves, one question always came up from his clients: "How do I get this look at home?" Styling often feels too complicated or intimidating, even for people who love hair. This brand and these products are his answer. Built for both everyday consumers and professionals, each formula is rooted in performance but designed to be simple and results driven. "I hope my products are the solution to everyone having a good hair day, because everyone deserves good hair," says Chris.

Product Story and HS3™ Complex

The line was formulated to be layerable and buildable, giving people the freedom to play with different styles without weighing hair down. As a longtime lover of scent, Chris infused the collection with three signature fragrances: White Tee, Copper Skies, and Tomboy, to elevate the everyday styling experience.

The brand is backed not only by Chris's decades of expertise but by science. Every product is powered by HS3™, a proprietary complex of active ingredients that protects, strengthens, and adds shine every time you style. Whether you're using hot tools or leaning into your natural texture, HS3™ works to shield hair from damage - protecting it up to 450°F, reinforcing hair from within for stronger strands , and leaving it looking healthier over time because styling doesn't have to mean compromising your hair's health.

Exclusive Sephora Partnership

Sephora has been a longtime friend and partner to Chris, championing the brand's energy from the very beginning. The launch will feature seven essential styling products, each designed to deliver professional results at home. It will be supported by exclusive content, in-store activations across the country, and a full digital campaign across Sephora's social platforms and dot-com channels.
