Who We Are

OUR STORY

Who We Are

AT SALON SERVICES PRO, WE ARE PROUD TO BE BEAUTY BUSINESS OBSESSED. WE’RE DRIVEN BY CREATIVITY, ACCOUNTABILITY, AND THE GOAL OF BEING YOUR ULTIMATE RESOURCE.

What started 40 years ago as a small group of professionals with only a handful of products has evolved into your single source of beauty business support. Whether that’s by partnering with brands that create artistry-elevating, time-saving, money-earning tools, providing flexible education opportunities, or simply helping you do you—we’ll be your biggest cheerleaders. We can’t wait to support you.
