Help!! Beauty Therapists I need your advice!

Hi!

I am new to this site so if this kind of post is not allowed apologies in advance.

I am about to complete my Dip. In Beauty Therapy and will be setting up a salon from home.

I am having trouble/confusion as to how and where I go about purchasing Skin Care Products for my facial treatments.

I’ve been considering both Kora Organics & O Cosmedics. I know I could purchase straight from the company websites but is there a particular place therapists go to purchase Salon Skin Care Products. Does one need an agreement with a Skin Care Company to use their products?

I am very lost here so any advice is greatly appreciated!

Thank You 🙂

    Thank you all for the information 🙂 It’s given me a few different avenues to go down. It’s so overwhelming the initial stages of setting it all up!

    There is a trade wholesaler that has stores around australia http://www.mynorris.com.au/store-locator/

    I hope that’s useful for you. Their website doesn’t really show you their products or anything, but i’m sure if you contacted them they’d help you out.

    All companies are different! Some companies you can only purchase directly from the company and some you can purchase at a wholesaler.
    Many companies that you have to purchase from directly will have min opening orders, eg $3000, and conditions for you to become a stockist.
    Skincare ranges that you can purchase from a wholesaler allows you to purchase however much you need and whenever you need it.
    I strongly suggest doing some research into different ranges that you like and call the company as they can answer all you questions and send you information.

    I’d suggest a similar thing to Ruby124. Ask your beauty teachers how they get their products or what they could recommend for you to do (I would have thought they’d already do that). I know there are different stores in different states that are for those in the industry, and the products are heavily discounted. I’d have a look on the internet and see what’s available in your state.

    Depends where you are located.Usually from salon supply stores,although sometimes they mite require a business account or proof that you work in the industry to get wholesale prices. I would ask your beauty school where they purchase from in your area.Dermalogica, and Thalgo, have great professional range,i would contact them.
