Max grew up in the hair care business – his mother owned and operated a beauty school. Although his sights were set on a career in science or engineering, he worked as a stylist while in college. His styling business became so successful that he devoted himself to it and to the clients that wouldn’t let him quit, but never lost the ability to analyze a problem that involved chemistry or engineering.
Max quickly realized most of the styling products and tools used in salons were not created by people who had to use them every day, all day. Max saw the need for products and tools that would reduce styling time, while producing great results. Working at night, borrowing money from friends and family to support the research and development of his ideas, Max put all his experience and knowledge into a line of liquid hair care products and a series of styling tools carrying his Maxius Systems name, which you can explore in detail on this site.
