Zotos International, Inc.

Zotos wants its products to be the hair and now to salon clients worldwide. Zotos International, a unit of Shiseido International Corporation and Japan's Shiseido Company Limited, makes hair care and hair color products and markets them to salons. Its name brands include JOICO, Blondie, Quantum, Bain de Terre, Nucleic-A, Naturelle, and Zotos. The firm also sells Decleor, CARITA, and Qi esthetic beauty and spa treatments. Products are sold through professional beauty supply stores and salons -- such as Armstrong McCall, Regis Corporation, and Sally Beauty's Beauty Systems Group -- as well as through online retailers. Shiseido acquired Zotos in 1988 from Conair Corporation.
