Olaplex Holdings Inc (NASDAQ: OLPX) is a hair care company that develops and sells bond-building and hair health products sold through professional salons, specialty retailers, and direct-to-consumer channels. Revenue comes from product sales across three channels: a professional channel (where licensed hairstylists use and recommend Olaplex treatments in-salon), a specialty retail channel, and a direct-to-consumer channel comprised of Olaplex.com and third-party e-commerce platforms. The brand is built on a pro-first model in which hairstylists introduce consumers to the product line, creating downstream demand for at-home versions of salon treatments. Products span bond repair treatments, wash care, after-shower care, and styling. Olaplex trades on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol OLPX, listed since September 30, 2021. Amanda Baldwin serves as Chief Executive Officer, and Catherine Dunleavy serves as Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, per the 10-K filed March 5, 2026.
