DENTON, Texas, June 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Sally Beauty,
the largest retailer and distributor of professional beauty
supplies, today announced the launch of Sally Beauty Cultivate -
For Women by Women, a business accelerator program to help women
beauty entrepreneurs grow their business. With an established
track record of supporting emerging products and entrepreneurs
before they were household names, Sally Beauty is actively looking
for innovative hair care products and brands that will address the
needs of their customers. "We are thrilled to launch the
Sally Beauty Cultivate program," said Carrie McDermott, President of Sally
Beauty. "We continue to be inspired by all of the terrific
women entrepreneurs we have met over the years and believe in
supporting women who are developing products to make her best
accessory, her hair, even better."
Beginning today, Sally Beauty will accept entries from
female-owned hair care brands who are looking to expand their
business. The top brand will receive $25,000 in financial support, product
distribution at SallyBeauty.com, and mentorship from the Sally
Beauty team as well as some of their brand's famous business
owners. They will also receive the opportunity to get their
product directly into the hands of high demand beauty influencers
at one of Sally Beauty's monthly influencer events.
Recognizing a need for female consumers to have access to
natural-based hair products and for female entrepreneurs to have a
platform, Sally Beauty was the first national beauty retailer to
provide distribution to popular female-owned hair care brands
including Made Beautiful, Mielle Organics, The Mane Choice and
Arctic Fox, to name just a few. Additionally, Sally was the
first to launch an exclusive ingredient range with Carol's Daughter
called the Pracaxi Nectar Collection. Providing distribution
support to these brands from the start helped their businesses to
grow into being some of the most well-known and loved hair care
brands sold today. Jamira Johnson,
VP Digital and Innovation at Sally Beauty commented, "Sally Beauty
has a long history of collaborating with women entrepreneurs to
help launch their brands in our stores and online. We're excited to
identify the next wave of women entrepreneurs and help support them
through the Sally Beauty Cultivate program." She continues, "We
believe there is so much hair care innovation happening every day
in women's homes, salons, and communities, and we want to encourage
that innovation to thrive and grow."
Sally Beauty has a long history of supporting female-owned hair
care businesses with nearly 1 in 3 sales supporting hair care and
hair color brands created or owned by women and 1 in 5 textured
hair sales supporting brands founded by African American women.
"Sally is a great retail partner as they have been supportive of
the Mielle Brand since the very beginning," states Mielle Organics
founder Monique Rodriguez. "Sally
works with our brand in creative ways that are beneficial
for both Mielle and Sally's brand."
Now, Sally Beauty is looking for the next big hair care brand
founded by a woman with their Sally Beauty Cultivate – For Women By
Women program. If you think you have the next innovative
product in hair care, you can visit www.sallybeauty.com/cultivate
to enter between June 18th
