The Story of GUYSSOU

Founded in Paris, GUYSSOU embodies the union of French Elegance and Persian Beauty.

What began as a personal journey — the creation of a bridal look for its founder’s own wedding — soon grew into an international beauty house renowned for its modern, luminous approach to makeup and hair.

The name GUYSSOU comes from the Persian word گیسو, meaning “silky long hair.”
A poetic symbol of femininity and grace, it reflects the very essence of our philosophy: beauty that flows naturally, delicately and with purpose.

From Paris to New York, Milan, Dubai and Miami, GUYSSOU has become a trusted name across the world of luxury weddings, fashion weeks and editorial productions. Each project is guided by an unwavering commitment to excellence, where artistry meets emotion, and where every detail tells a story.

The Founder – Shakiba Edighoffer

A jurist for over fifteen years before embracing her true calling, Shakiba Edighoffer embodies the harmony between precision and creativity.

Born into a Persian family where beauty has always been celebrated as an art of grace and expression, she grew up surrounded by poetry, colors, and elegance.

From a young age, she would style and beautify her loved ones; gestures that, over time, revealed an innate sensibility for harmony, light, and detail.

Her background in law taught her structure and discipline; her Persian heritage and lifelong passion for beauty nurtured her artistry and emotion.
Both worlds shaped her unique vision: one where rigor meets refinement and where every creation tells a story.

As the Founder and Artistic Director of GUYSSOU, she now leads a team of professional artists trained in France and internationally, ensuring that each creation, from bridal beauty to backstage fashion, reflects both technical mastery and soulful artistry.

Her signature style?
A luminous, natural sophistication that enhances individuality rather than transforms it.

“Beauty that feels like you, only elevated.”
