Meet Melisa Gill
Joico's General Manager
Gill’s journey at JOICO has led her down a powerful path of leadership, growth, and success. Gaining global insight as Director of Marketing for Piidea-Canada (the Canadian arm of Joico and Zotos Professional), and then as Vice President Global Marketing and New Product Development in Los Angeles, she forged a new era in product development. Honing in on developing a strong innovation pipeline and exciting next-level education, Gill spearheaded some of the most successful new product launches in JOICO history, including Blonde Life, Defy Damage and LumiShine Youth Lock. Gill is now at the helm of the brand as General Manager –where she has created a vibrant, diverse and motivated team. Listening to her customers, successfully managing change and uncovering new opportunities is the hallmark of Gill’s joi-filled leadership philosophy — a vision that paves the way to sustained and meaningful growth.

Joico is certified by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) as “Animal Test-Free” & “PETA Approved*.” This means that Joico has been verified as not conducting, paying for, or allowing any tests on animals, whether for its products’ ingredients or formulations, or finished products, anywhere in the world. Shoppers can rest assured that the Joico products they buy (from approved channels and vendors) are not tested on animals. The PETA verification for Joico products also means any supplier it works with attests to the same standards, so that Joico’s whole supply chain, to produce its products is free of animal testing.
Safety of Joico products is assured by using safe raw materials and where applicable, confirming safety by testing via patch tests with human volunteers under a physician’s supervision and using non-animal alternative tests.
