History
Gaston Gelinas had his barbershop in St-Barnabé. His wife Nicole Diamond Gélinas was a teacher with a degree in Business Administration.
Gaston and Nicole Gelinas created together tailored hair pieces and embarked the prosthesis industry. They then create the Chev’Hair franchise. Very rapidly their products and customer services exceeded their clients’ expectations.
Aspasie begins to manufacture and sell color charts on American territory from wicks made in Europe.
Their expertise expanded their market to the manufacturing of hair color charts and displays. Renowned brands like Wella, Clairol and Matrix soon gave Aspasie increasingly important contracts for the enhancement of their presence in hair salons and retail outlets.
Aspasie is now selling around the world by manufacturing its own hair color swatches.
