La Maison-Atelier by Homnès
Our place, in the Marais.
Maison
Before I show you around, let’s take a little trip back to childhood. When I was little, I remember my grandmother’s flat, always full of people.
I remember she left the front door open “in case someone wanted to drop by for a coffee.” The kind of vibe you never forget.
See where I’m going with this? That’s the atmosphere I wanted to recreate with the Maison.
A place where you feel good, where everything is thought through, yet always evolving.
And on top of that… “Maison Homnès” sounded rather chic.
Workshop or laboratory?
I hesitated for a long time.
Technically, it’s a laboratory. We formulate, test, measure and adjust down to the exact pH.
But in practice… it’s a workshop. Because we make everything here, in small batches. Because we touch, we smell, we start again. Because we’re a little obsessed with the scalp, and very much in love with beautiful products.
So there you have it. It’s a laboratory on a human scale. Or a workshop that smells of a well-made formula.
Your choice.
Everything designed in-house.
And I really mean everything: the materials, the colours, the lamps, the textures, the formulas, the packaging. That’s all me!
It may sound obsessive. It is obsessive.
But I love it. That’s where my heart goes BOOM-BOOM.
The products
1. It’s 100% active ingredients.
Nothing but active ingredients.
2. It’s cold-processed, in small batches.
Cold processing keeps the ingredients at a low temperature, which preserves the active ingredients.
The result? Better care.
And behind it all?
I’m Kety, the founder of Homnès.
But above all, an obsessive creative who always has a project on the go.
Function and emotion are what make me tick. Thinking things through is my (not so secret) passion.
I always knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur. Today, I’m completely hooked.
What matters most: our customers. Taking care of people is, to me, simply the basics.
The meaning of the name
Homnès is a blend of “home” and “omnès”, which means “everyone” in Latin.
And that’s exactly it: a shampoo that suits a very snobbish art director… and his nephew, who has barely discovered what a conditioner is. A product loved by a zero-waste activist, and by her architect mother, who has a soft spot for very, very beautiful things. And guess what? They all love it.
