Following years of success and growth, with multiple salons in New York, the Bogosian brothers turned their talents to manufacturing.  Fantasia Industries Corporation began 56 years ago as a small, professional, hair care company. Today, Fantasia Industries, and their professional company; Agadir International, are marketed worldwide, serving both the professional and consumer clientele.

The Bogosian family, including Paul’s son, Jack, executive vice president, shared that they are committed to continuing his Dad’s dream of developing and improving hair care products for all.
