Leo's mother, father, grandpa, and brother are all hairdressers, and they all taught him the business as a young child. Despite owning a salon in France, the aspiring businessman travelled to Miami at the age of 23 on a tourist visa. After obtaining experience in America and working at a few salons, Leo Izquierdo made the decision to start his own salon alongside his brother Franck. Leo thought he was onto something when he turned this notion into a boutique salon that was perfectly situated inside the renowned SLS Hotel in Miami Beach. Subsequently, Aaron Grenia and Chase Kusero joined forces with Leo and Frank to extend the brand's market and create its product line, bringing with them their individual professional experience from NYC and LA. The first letter of the founders' last names served as the inspiration for the name "IGK" (Izquierdo, Grenia, Kusero).

The IGK brand is now recognised for its vertically integrated product line, original Miami salon, and flagship NYC salon. A large variety of IGK-branded goods are available everywhere, including in IGK salons. The only company offering full-service salons and a comprehensive line of branded hair care products may be IGK. Worldwide, both consumers and business professionals use IGK's products, which are available at IGK's salons, online, and at stores like Ulta, Sephora, Macy's, Target, and Salon Centric.
