Charles Jundt (1880 in Alsace-Lorraine – 1945) [1] was a New York City coiffeur who founded the Charles of the Ritz line of cosmetics products.
Jundt came to New York in 1916 via Paris and London and took over the beauty salon of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. He became an American citizen in 1921. By 1926, he was marketing beauty products under the name Charles of the Ritz. He had a wife, Anna, and a daughter, Ethel. [1]
In 1932, Adeita de Beaumont Fisher, the estranged wife of cartoonist Bud Fisher, was awarded $5,000 damages after Jundt burned Fisher's ear while styling her hair. [2]
