Jen Atkin OUAI
Lamees Hamdan launched the hair care line in 2016, with Jen Atkin as the brand’s face. OUAI, a Dubai branch in Los Angeles, established OUAI FZE for the US and international trading of OUAI products online as a store and subscription service. OUAI FZE is listed on the California Secretary of State’s Registry Page. The name OUAI is derived from an informal pronunciation of the French word “oui” and is intended to sound casual and unpretentious. After realizing there was a market for both online and in-store sales, she partnered with Sephora to put the product in stores. She preferred that the hair care line be created by a community rather than “a lot of men in boardrooms.” OUAI launched its first body care product in 2019.

The couple enlisted the help of Obermeyer Architecture and interior design firm Maison Trouvaille to create the light, bright scheme in the five-bedroom, five-bathroom home. The home, which was built brand new in 2017, is set behind gates on about two-thirds of an acre at the head of a horseshoe driveway and incorporates a number of architectural genres, ranging from a classic, low-slung California ranch house to a shingled and whitewashed East Coast traditional to the ubiquitously trendy “modern farmhouse” style that has proliferated across L.A. in the last few years.

Atkin frequently collaborates with the stars of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, including styling their hair for the reality show’s interview segments.

During the shoot, she met Khloe, who asked her to design her looks for The X Factor, and she eventually began working with the rest of the family. She became friends with the Kardashians as a result of this interaction and is featured in Kim Kardashian’s video game, Kim Kardashian: Hollywood. Atkin has worked with hairstylist and wigmaker Tokyo Stylez on several occasions to complete looks for Kylie Jenner
Jen Atkin Career
With only $300, Atkin moved to Los Angeles at the age of 19 to pursue a career in hair. Lorraine Schwartz assisted Atkin when she first moved to Los Angeles. She started working as a receptionist at Estilo Salon in West Hollywood in 2000. Later, Atkin worked at the Hollywood salons of Chris McMillan and Andy LeCompte. Atkin was a member of Madonna’s Confessions Tour hair team in 2006. She also worked as John Galliano’s personal hairstylist. Atkin traveled to Paris to work at fashion shows while working for Galliano and made connections by talking her way into VIP lounges.
Atkin has been traveling to the Middle East on a regular basis since 2012, cutting hair at salons in Dubai, Bahrain, and Qatar. “There aren’t a lot of trained stylists in the Middle East who know how to do modern curls, or know how to really cut thick, coarse hair in a way that grows out nicely,” says Atkin, who continues to cut hair in the Middle East. Atkin occasionally cuts hair in Los Angeles at Andy LeCompte Salon, where her appointments can cost up to $600. Atkin is well-known on Instagram and attributes her social media marketing abilities to scrapbooking as a child. Jen Atkin X Chloe + Isabel is a hair accessory collection she launched.
