At a very young age Dennis Bernard started working in his father Eugene’s salon in Union, New Jersey. Over many years with his father’s guidance, Dennis was able to learn the business and gain the knowledge to become a future hairstylist and salon chain owner. In 1981 after securing his NJ state license, Dennis and his father developed a new innovative product which would change the course of hair color services within the beauty industry. Using the Jheri Redding method of oils as conditioners, Dennis developed a product that would condition, eliminate fade out and speed up hair color services to under 15 minutes. After extensive in salon testing in 1986, the marketing began and the beauty world was introduced to TCA, The Color Accelerator, which would elevate the hair color process to the next level.

Dennis Bernard Inc. continues to invent and create new salon problem-solvers for the professional hair stylists and marketed under the POWERTOOLS brand name. In 2005, Dennis took a step into the retail side of the industry and came full circle when he produced smartSOLUTIONS, a professional only sulfate-paraben-cruelty-diversion free, retail line inspired by keeping the hairstylist, client, and the environment in mind. All products are plant extract based and are formulated to revitalize the hair and extend the life of the color service. All products are packaged in 100% recyclable bottles, pucks, and tubes.
