From orchard roots to a global legacy
Meet Alicia & Garren Hardman, the visionary duo behind Quism, a premium haircare brand redefining what “clean beauty” really means.
Quism is a professional haircare brand rooted in simple, natural solutions for all hair types. For over two decades, they have created clean beauty haircare that is natural, effective, and approachable.
A 25-Year professional heritage, Quism began in the salon chair. Frank Hardman, a passionate professional stylist and Alicia's father-in-law, believed that haircare could be both natural and high-performing. Long before “clean beauty” was a trend, his formulas proved that you didn’t need harsh chemicals to get the high-quality results clients expect from a trained professional. Today, Alicia is proud to keep Frank’s legacy alive while putting her own unique touch on the brand for a brand-new generation.
For Alicia, the science of the orchard is a deeply personal journey. Having once struggled with unruly hair that earned her the nickname “Furby Girl,” she eventually found her way back to her roots, growing up on her family’s apple farm. Seeing firsthand how apples naturally hold moisture inspired Quism’s signature innovation: HydrApple Complex™.
Alicia shares that the HydrApple Complex™ delivers performance without compromise. Formulated with a clinically tested apple saccharide extract, this complex captures the fruit’s natural ability to draw in and hold water, helping hair stay soft, smooth, and hydrated for longer. She explains that by pairing this with plant proteins and soothing floral waters, they have created a sustainable, naturally derived blend that nourishes both scalp and strand health.
From vineyards to vitality, Alicia and Garren are proving that big dreams can grow right here in Lambton County. We’re proud to support them as they take Quism from local roots to a global stage. 🌿🧖 ♀️
