The person Margot Schmitt

 

The desire for beauty and creativity took root during my hairdressing training at a renowned salon in Cologne. I turned my passion into my profession and completed my master craftsman's examination with distinction. At the same time, I earned the title of "Germany's youngest master hairdresser." In 2021, I received the Diamond Master Craftsman's Certificate - a special award that is very rarely bestowed.

My dream was to enable every woman to look good every day. With my invention, the "Original Traumrolle®" (Dream Roller), I was able to turn this dream into reality. The Traumrolle® is a detachable round brush with a natural bristle blend. It is only used on dry hair and gives hair volume, fullness, and shape - as if styled by a professional.

An Icon of Hair Care – The Story of Margot Schmitt

In the 1980s, she achieved her big breakthrough with the invention of the "Original Traumrolle", a hair styling tool that allowed women to create voluminous curls with little effort. This groundbreaking invention revolutionized home hair styling and made her known far beyond Germany. "It was important to me that women could feel perfectly styled to start their day, even without going to the hairdresser," says Margot Schmitt.

The Path to QVC – The Stage for Her Vision

Her success did not go unnoticed, and soon Margot Schmitt received an invitation to present her products on QVC. For over 25 years, she has regularly appeared on camera, inspiring millions of women with her innovative products and charismatic manner. "It was unfamiliar at first to be live on camera, but my passion for hair took away my nervousness," Margot Schmitt recalls of her first appearance.

QVC quickly became an important partner, and through her regular broadcasts, she was able to build a close bond with her customers. Her authenticity and personal approach made her a familiar face on television. "Margot is like a good friend to us, who understands exactly what we need for our hair," says a loyal customer who has been using her products for years.
