The idea for RIES came over a decade ago when I was working my first job in Fashion Trend Forecasting. I was constantly flying around the country photographing the latest fashion trends and fashionable people. My life was a constant cycle of airports, hotels and taxis.
But keeping myself looking fashionable while traveling was an ordeal. As a curly haired woman of color, the products I was using didn’t come in a travel size and there was no way a 2-in-1 hotel shampoo/conditioner would be coming anywhere near my hair.
After years of ziploc bags, wasted products, goop leaking all over suitcases and tons of trial-and-error (all so I could just feel like myself on the go!) I knew there had to be a better way.
And that’s why I started RIES. RIES, for me, represents the freedom to take care.
Safe Travels,
