Martha Matilda Harper was born in 1857 in Canada. She had been a servant in Canada for 22 years. She was working at a German doctor's home, where he shared with her some avantgarde (at the time) hair care concepts. Martha later discovered the value of good cleanliness and that combing increases blood flow to the scalp and hastens hair development. These discoveries gave Martha ideas she attempted on her hair with tremendous success. The doctor gave the girl formula for a special hair tonic in recognition of Martha's interest in what he was doing. Martha didn’t want to be a sought-after servant, but a businesswoman.
Martha Matilda Harper used all of her savings to start a beauty parlour in 1888. The best advertisement for her company was a full-length portrait she displayed at the front door, showing her with a head full of healthy brown hair that reached her toes. However, there were no customers since most people were unfamiliar with a public barbershop. Martha Matilda Harper used all of her savings to start a beauty parlour in '1888.
