As a salon owner, no one understands your clients, competition, missions or values more than you! After branding your company, it’s time to private label your own hair care product line. Private labeling gives you the flexibility to cater to the needs and wants of your target audience, as well as emulate the unique personality of your brand.

Benefits of Private Label Products for Your Salon

You may be wondering, “why private label when there are already well-known wholesale companies that you can carry?”  The answer is, private label provides many advantages to your storefront that you won’t experience when carrying wholesale products. For one, your customers will stay loyal and make purchases with your business with a self-branded product line.

Additionally, offering company branded products elevates your salon brand in the eyes of your customers.  These products are exclusive and are tailored to your clientele’s wants and needs. Customers will appreciate how you have developed a line that is “in-line” with the services that you already offer and that they know and love.

With private label products, you are given the ability to customize your products by adding a fragrance, which can create a unique and memorable experience for customers. A fragrance can help a client relax and enjoy a service more thoroughly. Furthermore, customers will be reminded of your services when they use your products at home and smell your brand’s signature scent.

Working with a Private Label Company vs. Branded Company

When you work with a private label company, you can start with a few products of your choice and, as your business grows, you can grow your line. In addition, it’s easy to start small and ramp up your order size and offerings with your business if you choose a company with low Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs) such as 50 pieces. There is no large opening order and no restrictions on where you can sell and how much you can charge, which means you determine your profit margins and your discounts.

Wholesale cosmetics come from a company that has branded their own product.  They develop, market and sell their products to retailers. These retailers then re-sell the products to their own customers at a marked-up price.  Unlike private label, many wholesalers have a minimum opening order that can be thousands of dollars. Additionally, you may not have a choice on what opening order products you’ll receive. To keep the marketplace “fair,” most products will have a set price that the retailer must charge. It is usually a 100% markup. This means, if you paid $10 for a product, you need to sell it for $20.  Some companies also require that you purchase a certain dollar amount per year and may restrict where you can sell your product (example: store front versus online).

If your salon carried a wholesale hair care line, you could lose sales to Amazon or big box retailers where those products are also sold at a lower cost.
