Hair & Beauty Supplies

What Hair & Beauty Supplies does

Hair & Beauty Supplies Ltd is a privately-held UK trade supplier of professional hair and beauty products, headquartered in Cannock, Staffordshire. The company operates a Shopify-powered direct e-commerce storefront at hairandbeautysupply.co.uk, selling exclusively to trade professionals (professional hair salons, beauty salons and spas, and beauty training academies) across England and the UK. The catalog spans hair colour and care (FarmaVita, Wella, Schwarzkopf, L'Oreal Dialight, TIGI, Pulp Riot), perming and hairdressing accessories, beauty essentials (wax, brows, lashes, tanning, nails, skin), aesthetics and clinical supplies (microneedling, microblading, chemical peels, needles, syringes), electrical styling tools (including Futaria-branded dryers and straighteners), and salon stationery.

The business is a transactional reseller with no subscription or contracted enterprise revenue model. Pricing is unit-based across SKUs ranging from under £1 for disposable consumables to over £100 for electrical equipment, with promotional volume discounts such as 'Buy 5 get 1 Free' on the FarmaVita colour range. Marketing channels are organic: the Shopify storefront for SEO and direct purchase, plus Facebook and Instagram for product and training content, and an email newsletter for promotions. The company also operates HB Training Academy, an adjacent subsidiary offering ABT- and CPD-accredited beauty training courses (chemical peels, mesotherapy, microneedling, dermaplaning, brow, lash, and gel polish), creating a soft ecosystem between training graduates and ongoing supply customers. No funding rounds, M&A activity, leadership disclosure, or public financials are available; ownership is private and independently held.

Direct peers

• Capital Hair & Beauty: Major UK professional hair and beauty trade distributor serving salons with a multi-category catalogue. Operates from multiple UK warehouses with both online and account-based ordering, making it the most direct national-scale comparable to Hair & Beauty Supplies Ltd.
• Salon Services: Established UK trade-only distributor of professional hair and beauty products, operating depots and a trade counter network. Directly comparable as a B2B supplier to professional salons with overlapping brand portfolio (Wella, Schwarzkopf, L'Oreal).
