Menkoi Vs. Gatsby?

Many of you guys have always been wondering why do our products compare to the leading Japanese company, Gatsby. Simple. We are compared not only through packaging, label, but also through our products ability to make the hairstyle you want. In my opinion, I do not see why we are compared to their products because Menkoi is so unique in just about any way possible. Let me go ahead and explain everything to you. I just woke up thinking about this so please excuse my mistakes.Thank god for spell check!

Menkoi Packaging/Shipping: Many of the graphics are designed by Chris Halina, but we also have a wonderful graphic designer, Annie Zeng, whenever we are in need. We can say the packaging is simple, yet elegant. Menkoi hair waxes are packaged in a stainless steel 3" by 3" container that we purchase locally in Louisiana. The labels are all hand-placed meaning we do not use any machinery in Menkoi. We wrap the wax in clear wrap to give the feel of " bubble gum wrapping". The wrapping is meant for display and also to secure the wax from being damaged or expose to air for long periods of time. It is organic after all. Each package is checked to see if quality is perfect before we ship it out to the customers. We usually ship our products within 3-4 days but give us 1-2 days to make your product since we are "made to order".

Scent: Menkoi has been open since January 1 2012, buy has gotten some publicity. Mainly on the scent, as if its "something you would eat that's really good." Each product has a very unique smell due to the natural fragrance we used as well as the organic natural oils as we infuse all ingredients. The fragrance are all natural oils of course, nothing really that is artificial. Simple version. Our products "smell so good you would want to just eat it"- StillNotDavid. :)

Ingredients: Menkoi ingredients are certified organic and natural. Our supplier has been in business since 1987 and Menkoi trust their system and the products they produce for us.
By organic i mean :

1. Certified organic or pesticide free plants which were harvested in a sound, and sustainable manner
2. A lovely, tasty, effective and consistent product that exceeds customers expectations
3. A product that is proven safe through quantitative analysis

 We also have a mini herb area in our Menkoi lab that produces rosemary, theme, mint, as well as different fruits. We do use them and put them into the Menkoi products.

The list can go on and on.

Simple explaination: We do not use machinery. We are handcrafted. We do not use chemicals, only certified organic natural raw material.We want you to know each one of our product is a masterpiece and we believe we can change the hair product industry for the better. Not for us, but for the people and their beautiful hair.
