Sam’s has teamed up with Retrohair™ to provide our professional clientele a choice to make a change; in specific, a change to the way things used to be and hence the word “retro”. When Bill Gunzburg, founder of Retrohair™, was asked why he decided to create a salon only product line his answer was simple,
“In late 2002 we took a long hard look at our industry. What was obvious was a lack of manufacturers that offer peak performing products, focused educational programs, marketing to keep client sales in our salons and most importantly-integrity!
What we saw was an industry where a large percentage of products are owned by retail colour companies; companies who spend all their dollars marketing colour to consumers in drug stores, and whose professional products are now on the drug and grocery stores shelves right next to their hair colour!
We also saw companies claiming to be hairdresser companies that joined the others on the drug and grocery store shelves or in other stores that are not true to salons.
Our attitude with these companies is this – they are intruders to the professional salon industry and should go back to the drug store where they belong.
The unfortunate consequence to salons is this – our clients are now buying the same products we use and endorse outside our salons. We are being robbed of millions of dollars of products sales that we created markets for. Salons have been losing retails sales at rates as high as 30% per year. It is time for us to fight the real battle we are faced with, lets stop supporting the companies that don’t support us!
Retrohair™ was created to give salons an opportunity to work with a true hairdresser company – created within the beauty industry and created to stay in the beauty industry! Our commitment: Keeping retail sales where they were meant to be – in your salons!”
When the opportunity came across for Sam’s to team up with Retrohair™ we took advantage because we have been searching high-and-low for a product lineup that really was 100% salon only.
We hope that you too can take advantage of this new offering that has been a long-time in the making. You as professionals need to bring the retail sales dollars back into your salons and Retrohair™ can help you do that. Offer your clients products that they cannot buy from the local grocery store and drive the sales back to you! Sam’s commitment to you is that we will never divert our products and continue to truly support the professional just as we always have. Please call 604-980-5576 if you have any questions and/or would like to visit with one of our professional account executives to learn more about this amazing opportunity.
