HISTORY<br />
Since its founding, GAMA was conceived to<br />
be an innovative game-changer that aimed to<br />
revolutionise the industry and market forever.<br />
It all started in 1969 when the creative<br />
wizardry of a number of beauty salons inspired<br />
Mario Gardini to seek a new way of interpreting<br />
hair care. The end-result was GAMA - which<br />
stands for Gardini, Mario - with none other<br />
than the birth of the first-ever mass-produced<br />
professional hair straightener.<br />
The launch of Quick-Heat Technology in the<br />
late 90s made the impossible possible; the<br />
introduction of hair straighteners that heated<br />
up and were ready to use in less than a minute.<br />
Quick Heat Technology was followed by the<br />
introduction of Instant Heat Technology (IHT),<br />
patented and launched in the professional<br />
market in 2010. This innovative technology<br />
revolutionized the world of styling, thanks to a<br />
state-of-the-art heating element that reaches<br />
working temperature in seconds, with a<br />
constant and extremely homogeneous<br />
distribution of heat over the entire surface of<br />
the heating plates & tubes as long as the<br />
straightener is turned on. IHT technology<br />
makes GAMA Professional hair straighteners<br />
& curling irons the fastest in the world to reach<br />
working temperature and be capable of keeping<br />
the temperature constant.<br />
GAMA’s next gamechanger would arrive with<br />
the introduction of the iQ Perfetto at the 2019<br />
COSMOPROF Bologna trade fair: a smart<br />
professional hair dryer that packs an<br />
outstanding blowing power in an ultra compact,<br />
elegant and light design, that weighs as much<br />
as smartphone. Enhanced with the most<br />
innovative and sophisticated technologies,<br />
every single aspect of the IQ Dryer was<br />
engineered to create the ultimate experience.<br />
