Owned by mother-daughter dup Jacqueline and Elizabeth Asher, Tijeras Organic Alchemy began in 197 as Tijeras Hair Company, a small salon the Jacqueline (left) opened in Albuquerque.
In those early days, Jacqueline says she had a client whose hair was so severely damaged that he wouldn’t wash it for fear that it would fall out. Helping him moved Jacqueline to develop her own hair-care line. In her salon, she saw the damage that the arid Southwest could wreak on hair, so she formulated her shampoos and conditioners to work in the dry, sun-drenched climate. (Think UV protection.)
Today, both she and Elizabeth work in the salon and together develop their hair- and skin-care lines, which incorporates desert botanicals like nettles and yucca, as well as other certified organic ingredients.
