Stylists Guide the Way for Olaplex

 

It’s the brand that changed the game. When Olaplex hit the market in 2014 with its bond-building technology, stylists across the globe took notice.

Today, Olaplex holds more than 100 worldwide patents on bond-building technology and an arsenal of products that help repair and strengthen, ensuring healthy, shiny, touchable hair.  

Developed for stylists by stylists, Olaplex continues to be stylist-focused first, with everything the brand brings to market. Olaplex’s education team is exclusively professional stylists, which makes them an exceptional resource to today’s stylist community.

Olaplex Pro App Perks

And now, Olaplex stylists are enjoying the perks of the Olaplex stylist app while engaging and interacting with the Olaplex community with education, blogs and featured images.

Tiffany Cathleen, senior educator, says “Our app offers salon-only access to special  products and pricing, and access to certification at any time. Stylists can go at their own pace, and once certified, stylists are searchable via our stylist locator, which means more clients and more revenue opportunities.”

The Olaplex Pro app also features a return on investment tracker tool, a level finder to determine clients’ natural hair color level, hair health tips and one-on-one assistance from fellow pros.

Olaplex Pro app users can also use one-click access to product purchasing and engaging, interactive education.

 

The Dream Team

To continue to create scientifically proven products, grow its global presence and connect with stylists, Olaplex hires the best industry talent. Currently, almost a quarter of Olaplex employees were stylists (licensed cosmetologists) first, and represent almost all areas of the company.
