Sally Beauty Holdings, Inc. (“Sally”) through its affiliates is the world’s largest distributor of professional beauty supplies. Sally provides the channels that allow manufacturers of beauty supplies to reach customers, both professional and non-professional. Sally Beauty Company, Inc. began as a one-store operation in New Orleans, Louisiana in 1964. The Company expanded slowly until the 1980s, when it began to grow rapidly through acquisition and new store openings. In 1982, Sally moved its corporate headquarters to Denton, Texas following the acquisition of a Denton-based chain. In 1985, Sally acquired a major full-service (professional only) beauty supply distributor servicing the Midwestern United States. The growth of the full-service business led to the formation of the company now known as Beauty Systems Group LLC, focusing on distribution solely to the professional trade. New store openings and acquisitions continue to guide Sally’s expansion. In 1987, Sally became an international company with the acquisition of an affiliate in the United Kingdom. Today, Sally and its affiliates operate over 4500 stores throughout the United States and the world. Our international operations now extend to the United Kingdom, continental Europe, Puerto Rico, Canada, Chile, Peru, Colombia, Mexico. Both Sally Beauty Supply and Beauty Systems Group have successful and growing online (e-commerce) businesses. In 2006, Sally became a publicly held company with its shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Sally and its affiliates have long been industry leaders. Expertise in professional product merchandising, distribution and education provides the basis for a commanding presence in the global market. This, combined with strong domestic growth and international development, positions the companies for anticipated continuing success in future years. All subsidiaries and affiliates share Sally’s customer-driven operating philosophy and vision.

IT ALL STARTED BACK IN 1988. Ryan Tokko opened a modest mom & pop, beauty store located in the heart of Los Angeles. He made it his personal mission to never turn away a customer seeking hair options. This mindset led Ryan down a journey of uniquely sourcing a variety of hair textures – the first in the industry at the time, while innovating easier ways to apply hair extensions. He was the first to create what is now known as clip-in hair extensions and worked with professional stylists all over to discover time-saving techniques and longer lasting, higher quality extensions. As the store grew, the clientele grew, and The Hair Shop Inc. began servicing the best in the industry from celebrity stylists, renown production studios, to respectable influencers. For the past 30 years and even more so today, The Hair Shop Inc. continues to remain on the forefront of meeting clients’ needs and delivering the best quality possible.

Glam Seamless is an eCommerce retailer that fully disrupted the hair industry in 2012 when it was founded by a passionate entrepreneur with $1,000 and a serious love for hair extensions. Now, it’s a powerhouse company, consistently generating over eight figures yearly in revenue with a track record of growing sales 100% year over year. Traditionally, professional quality hair extensions were only sold through distributors, and stylists could only receive extension training in salons. Glam Seamless completely revolutionized the game by making premium hair extensions available to the public and providing stylists with education and business resources online. Glam Seamless now offers eight hair extension collections at affordable prices, a robust online education program for hairstylists, and a rapidly expanding community of devoted customers who confidently rock Glam Seamless extensions on a daily basis.

Glam Girls, Inc. teaches young girls that although makeup and hair extensions are a fabulous way to express themselves, they are not the defining core values of a woman. As Glam Seamless continues to expand at a record rate, it will continue to stay true to its mission of empowering women while selling high quality hair to inspire confidence.
