Sally Beauty is celebrating 60 years of success as the leading destination for professional hair and beauty products. For six decades, they have experienced remarkable growth, becoming the most beloved hair and beauty supplier in the UK and Europe. Salon Services, the professional-focused arm of Sally Europe, plays a key role in Sally Beauty Holdings Ltd., operating across the UK and Continental Europe. Together, these brands have united to form the world’s largest distributor of professional hair and beauty products, connecting customers and professionals to over 800 brands and 8,000 products.
The journey began in 1964 with a small corner store in New Orleans, the same year that Vidal Sassoon revolutionized hair fashion with his iconic geometric bobs and the Beatles dominated the music charts. From that humble beginning, Sally Beauty has expanded globally, transforming the way hair and beauty professionals shop. Today, Sally Beauty and Salon Services cater to every sector of the hair and beauty industry, from apprentices and independent business owners to beauty enthusiasts, large salon groups, students, hotels, and spas. Serving both trade and retail customers, they offer an unparalleled range of products, expertise, and services.
Now, Sally Beauty stands proudly alongside legacy brands such as Wahl, Wella, Schwarzkopf, and L’Oréal, continuing to serve generations of hair and beauty professionals.
