OUR STORY
Our story begins in Sicily, where my great-grandparents immigrated to New York City in search of the American Dream. Josephine, a hairstylist, opened a salon while Julian, an inventor, built tools to support her work. At 21, their son and my grandfather Leandro P. Rizzuto took a $100 investment and began building what became Conair Corporation, growing our family business into a global force and reshaping the haircare industry.
After he passed in 2017, I chose to carry his legacy forward. At Conair, I was named on over three dozen patents and led the new products team. I learned to drive innovation by listening to the consumer and gained a sharp view of the retail landscape. That clarity revealed white space in the market, rooted in innovation, sustainability, and quality.
I founded arachne in May 2023 with a clear mission to transform beauty and honor where we come from. arachne is a story of defiance, resilience, and reinvention. It is about being agile and adaptive, adjusting in the chaos and evolving in the calm. Thread by thread, we weave our destiny.
Our heritage is our strength, our experience is our foundation, and our expertise is our guide. We are here to help every individual define beauty on their own terms.
