Sally Beauty Supply

The Start of Sally

Sally Beauty Supply first opened in 1964 within the city of New Orleans. 5 years later, it was acquired by the company Alberto-Culver. Sally's is known as a small cash-and-carry beauty supply store and is nothing more than a quaint small town hole in the wall. It seems that a lot of successful makeup companies start this way, but for a beauty supply shop, Sally Beauty Supply was about to grow more quickly than any other to date.

By 1978, the 25th store has opened up. By 1982, there would be 119 Sally locations. A thousand were open by 1991. Suddenly Sally isn't so small anymore! Sally Beauty Supply is a name in the beauty world and everyone who is anyone is getting their supplies as this quality store.

Helping Others

Sally Beauty Supply is an admirable corporation because they are aware of their surroundings, rather than being just another pretty face. They have raised thousands and thousands of dollars for City of Hope, a cancer research charity, and in the late 1990s, they raised more than $240,000 to promote careers in cosmetology. They also supply a $10,000 award to the winner of the U.S. Ladies Hairdressing team, which encourages healthy competition among cosmetology students while raising funds to keep aspiring cosmetologists in school.

Hitting the Big Time

Sally now has countless stores, including those in Japan, Germany, and Mexico. They are the largest beauty supply house in the world and probably also the most generous. The fact that Sally Beauty Supply has such positive company ethics combined with great products is what has made it an overseas sensation. Additionally, they have proven themselves to be not only beyond the quality of most beauty supply shops, but also beyond borders as well.

Stylists and cosmetologists from all over the globe come to visit their stores to get the high quality products that they love to use on their customers.

Sally only continues to grow in size, while still maintaining its small town work philosophy that has been its success for decades.

Sally's does not just sell products for professionals. With their wide array of curling and straightening irons, makeup, hair accessories, and more, it is the beauty lover's paradise.

Oftentimes even buying the expensive beauty products that the hairdressers use, it can be difficult to achieve a similar style on your own. Sally Beauty Supply gives the public access to all of the secrets, carrying everything from the shampoos, to the hair color, to the special brushes. With their insider staff available to help you make great purchase choices, you will feel more "in the know" and will be able to lengthen your time between salon visits to help you to keep up that great style.
