Early years

Ole Henriksen was born and raised in a small town of Nibe, Denmark. After an impoverished upbringing, Henriksen travelled to Indonesia, during which time his skin became inflamed with cystic acne. He was treated by an aesthetician named Lagita, at a clinic in Jakarta. [2]

The successful treatment, performed with various botanicals, piqued Henriksen's interest in skin care. Henriksen moved to London to pursue degrees in skin care and cosmetic chemistry, before moving to the United States.

He moved to San Francisco for a year and before moving to Los Angeles to open his first spa. It was after The Los Angeles Times ran a short story on him that he began attracting a celebrity clientele and his spa remains a constant hot spot for socialites and celebrities to have their skin pampered.

Henriksen uses his kitchen to experiment with all kinds of raw materials. [3]

Business

His spa business, based on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, has been running for three decades. [4] [5] The spa has been the preferred skin care clinic for countless of Hollywood celebrities, recording artists and other high profiled customers for years. Henriksen sold his Sunset spa business to employee Vance Soto in 2013.[ citation needed ] The Ole Henriksen skin care product business operates from Van Nuys. The product line is available in over 12 countries and has won several awards. Henriksen serves as the company's Creative Director after he sold the product line to LVMH in February 2011 for an undisclosed amount. [6]

Personal life

Henriksen resides part-time in the Hollywood Hills with his husband, Laurence Roberts. The couple's other home is in Copenhagen, Denmark. The couple married in 2008 shortly before same-sex marriage in California was placed on hold in the State by Proposition 8. [7] In 2011, Henriksen became the first male recipient to receive the Grevinde Danners Ærespris—a Danish honorary award presented by the Danner Foundation in recognition of achievements in women's and children's rights. Henriksen was awarded for speaking publicly about abusive relationships of which Henriksen himself was a victim prior to meeting Laurence Roberts. [8] In 2014, Henriksen became a naturalized U.S. citizen. [9] In 2017, Henriksen and Roberts purchased a residence in Copenhagen, Denmark where they currently have lived since 2018. [10]
