The story begins with my grandmother Lina, born in 1934. She has been the most important person in the development of the Giomi products. Growing up in Sicily in a family of farmers, she experimented with the finest natural ingredients and developed a formula that has worked wonders for the family’s’ hair. With belief in her secret formula, Giomi was created.
Giomi, a name resembling my family. Not only is it the name of my sister, but it’s a combination between my parents’ names (Gio)achino and (Mi)randa. With my father his roots in Sicily and my mother’s in the Netherlands, this had to be a product with old traditional ingredients and a modern Dutch feel. The key Giomi ingredients come from Sicily and are handled with special care and knowledge. My family still has its own farm where they produce almond and olive oil. The two key ingredients for Giomi products.
My parents
My father Gioachino was born in Sicily and moved to The Netherlands when he was 19 years old and met my beautiful mother Miranda. He started his own Italian restaurant while my mother was a hairdresser. They gave birth to my sister Giomi, me and my youngest sister Giulia. The combination of my mother being a hairdresser and my father coming from a farmers family in Sicily have played a very important part in the eventual creation of the Giomi products.

My grandfather
My grandfather Luigi Giarratana, coming from a poor family became a farmer on the beautiful lands of Sicily. The land that gave us the ingredients that have done wonders for our families hair for years and years to come. He passed away in 2019 and I’m happy to build on to his legacy by using these amazing ingredients in the Giomi hair products.
My grandmother
My grandmother Lina Gloria, the woman that turned my grandfathers hard work into a beautiful hair care product. The woman of our family that has always put her love in everything she did and still does. The products would have never existed without this beautiful woman and I couldn’t thank her enough.
