John Paul Mitchell Systems to relocate headquarters from California to Texas

John Paul Mitchell Systems, a top manufacturer of hair care products and tools, is moving its headquarters from California to Dallas, Texas, and will establish a new global distribution center.

The relocation of the company — which distributes its products to more than 30 countries under brands like Tea Tree, Paul Mitchell and Neuro — will create 80 new jobs and over $12 million in capital investment in the Lone Star State, Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced in a news release Thursday.

“Texas is the headquarters of headquarters,” Governor Abbott said in a statement. “… With our skilled and growing workforce, leading position in U.S. and global markets, and the strongest pro-growth economic policies in America, we will continue to attract more headquarters and create more jobs across our great state.”

To support the project, John Paul Mitchell Systems has been awarded a Texas Enterprise Fund grant of $640,000. The grant is offered to business relocation or expansion projects that create high-paying jobs and attract significant new investment to Texas, according to the announcement.
