Our Story
Built by professionals, for professionals.
Beauty Solutions was founded in 2007 by four partners who came up through the salon industry together — and knew firsthand what it takes to run a thriving business behind the chair. They set out to build the kind of distributor they'd always wanted: one that carries the best professional brands, but leads with education, service and genuine relationships. Nearly two decades later, that hasn't changed. From a single location to eleven Resource Centers across the West, we've grown alongside the more than 22,000 professionals we're proud to serve — one stylist, one salon, one relationship at a time.
