Romina Manenti, an Italian-born hairstylist with more than 20 years in fashion and salon work, founded MAY11 in 2016 after developing products for the demands of professional hairstyling. The Brooklyn-based company makes small-batch hair treatments built around vegan, organic oils, including its patented formula for maintaining healthy hair through everyday styling and the growth cycle. Manenti’s work has appeared in major fashion publications, and MAY11 has since received coverage from outlets such as The New York Times and Byrdie.
