O.P.I.

O.P.I – The World Leader in Nail Care

O.P.I is a family owned company committed to the highest quality products.  O.P.I was founded in 1981 by President & CEO George Schaeffer, who immigrated to the U.S. as a child from post-World War II Eastern Europe.  O.P.I continues to be family-owned and has grown to become a world leader in professional nail care.   

From its inception, O.P.I broke through nail industry barriers. Schaeffer was one of the first in the nail industry to focus on and limit sales of product to and through beauty professionals only, and who realized the importance of education in both the sale and use of the product. From the very beginning, O.P.I has shown its commitment to quality by putting batch numbers, instructions and ingredients on all of the products it sells. O.P.I has a dedicated team of scientists who ensure product quality and safety, and bring the latest technology and advances to its product offerings.

O.P.I also takes a lead within the Professional Beauty Industry in raising the standards by which the industry operates. O.P.I is active in numerous industry associations whose aim is to ensure that consumer safety is always preserved, through products and services which are developed to meet and exceed safety standards. The company works closely with federal, state, local, and international agencies and scientists for the same purpose.

In addition to its commitment to customer service and safety, O.P.I is committed to the safety of its own employees. Work-safety seminars are held at the company’s headquarters several times each year, and employees are urged to make safety a priority.

Probably more than any other professional nail care product it produces, O.P.I is renowned globally for its Nail Lacquers – a brilliant, chip-resistant, professional formula available in over 200 fashion-forward colors. With clever names that customers look forward to with each new Collection, O.P.I Nail Lacquers are beloved around the world, and trusted by professionals. Neither O.P.I Nail Lacquers nor any other O.P.I product or service is subject to animal testing.

O.P.I continues to be unrelenting in the fight against diversion of Professional Beauty products, spending millions of dollars in an effort to protect consumers from unwittingly purchasing tainted, unsafe product, and to help the Professional Beauty Industry maintain its high standards of quality.

O.P.I’s reputation is built on its commitment to quality, safety, innovation and excellence – a commitment it honors with every product, every day.
