GEORGE W. SCHAEFFER
George W. Schaeffer’s story is a unique and inspiring example of living the American Dream, filled with adventure, philanthropy and entrepreneurial spirit. The son of Holocaust survivors, Schaeffer was born in Hungary and immigrated to America with his family in 1956. As a young boy, he developed a strong work ethic and passion for business. After receiving his degree from City College of New York in 1970, he worked in his family’s garment manufacturing business in New York City.
LEARN MORE ABOUT GEORGE
In search of new opportunities and challenges, Schaeffer moved to Los Angeles in 1981 and started a business that would ultimately become a dominant global consumer brand, OPI Products. He built OPI from the ground up and introduced the world to the nail lacquers now preferred by professionals and loved by customers globally.
With an eye for detail and a unique name for every color, Schaeffer shaped and infused OPI’s brand with his passion for excellence and innovation, while creating a work environment that treated everyone like family, regularly providing new computers and school scholarships to children of OPI employees.
As the company thrived, Schaeffer maintained a top priority of giving back to his community. He formed the George and Irina Schaeffer Foundation, which has donated millions to charities worldwide, including the American Heart Association, the Leukemia Research Foundation and the National Lung Association.
In October 2023, he was honored at the Look Good Feel Better BeautyCares DreamBall with the Legacy Award, which celebrates accomplishments, philanthropy, and support of the Look Good Feel Better program, the only global cancer support charity that harnesses the power and highest purpose of the beauty industry to support all people facing cancer. He is only the third person to be designated with this honor.
After building OPI to be one of the top brands in the world, Schaeffer sold the company, and acquired Aloxxi, a professional hair color and care brand where he addresses the need for innovation within professional hair color by offering his color acumen and passion, dedication to product breakthroughs that challenge traditional thinking and a promise to keep personal service paramount in the industry.
Outside of the Professional Beauty Industry, in 2014 assumed the role as Chairman and CEO of People’s Trust Insurance, a Florida based homeowner’s insurance company he co-founded in 2008.
George is married to Irina Schaeffer and has three grown children. George and Irina reside in Boca Raton, Florida.
