L’Oréal Groupe CEO Nicolas Hieronimus made the announcement in a keynote speech today CES 2024, introducing the AirLight Pro as a state-of-the-art hair drying tool that marries cutting-edge technology with a commitment to hair health and environmental sustainability.
Hieronimus’ opening keynote was historic as it marked the first-ever CES keynote by a beauty company. The product is backed by 150 patents — not bad for a non-tech company that is 115 years old.
