ABOUT US

BLACKPANTS Workwear has been designing for the salon industry for more than two decades.

Founded in 2001 by Leonie McDermott, BLACKPANTS began with a simple idea: salon professionals deserved workwear that looked good, performed properly and was designed specifically for the way they work.

Drawing on her background in fashion and manufacturing, Leonie worked with textile mills to develop BLACKPANTS’ own bleach-resistant STAYBLACK fabric — creating a new standard for professional salon workwear.

Today, BLACKPANTS is an international brand led by Leonie McDermott, Courteny Crossley and Bianca Surch, continuing to design, develop and evolve workwear for modern professionals.

From bleach-resistant tunics and technical workwear to The Intelligent Legging and our lightweight Aprons, every BLACKPANTS product begins with the same philosophy: listen to the industry, understand what professionals need, and design better solutions.

Our community has grown well beyond hairdressing to include beauty, cosmetic, medical and other professional industries, but our purpose remains unchanged.
