Early years
Ole Henriksen was born and raised in a small town of Nibe, Denmark. After an impoverished upbringing, Henriksen travelled to Indonesia, during which time his skin became inflamed with cystic acne. He was treated by an aesthetician named Lagita, at a clinic in Jakarta.
The successful treatment, performed with various botanicals, piqued Henriksen’s interest in skin care. Henriksen moved to London to pursue degrees in skin care and cosmetic chemistry, before moving to the United States.
He moved to San Francisco for a year and before moving to Los Angeles to open his first spa. It was after L.A. Times ran a short story on him that he began attracting a celebrity clientele and his spa remains a constant hot spot for socialites and celebrities to have their skin pampered.
Henriksen uses his kitchen to experiment with all kinds of raw materials.
