Welcome to Protocol Essentials — where grooming meets purpose.
I’m Dman, a California native with a lifelong passion for style. After spending 15 years in the industry — five years as a cosmetologist and ten years as a barber and educator — I’ve dedicated my career to helping people look and feel their absolute best.
After years behind the chair, one thing became crystal clear to me: people needed styling products that actually perform without compromising the health of their hair or scalp. That realization is what inspired me to create Protocol Essentials — a line of high-quality, nutrient-focused grooming products built to support healthier hair while elevating your everyday routine.
At Protocol Essentials, my mission is simple:
Create products that work, nourish, and build confidence.
Every formula is crafted with intention — to style with precision, strengthen with care, and deliver reliable results for every client and every hairstyle.
As Protocol Essentials continues to grow, my commitment stays the same: to expand thoughtfully while staying true to the values that started it all — quality, innovation, and integrity.
Protocol Essentials isn’t just a grooming brand — it’s the new standard.
