“We have a strong mission to help support salon owners, distributors, stylists and colorists alike to deliver real results to clients and rejuvenate a tiring salon service menu,” says Hoye. “Our undeniable focus is on the stylist and the salon owner. As we find success through the power of passion and innovation, we will evolve and provide opportunities to do a lot of good from a style standpoint, but importantly from a fiscal standpoint.
“With more news to follow, we have assembled a team of professional salon industry experts, innovative chemists, award-winning graphic designers, fresh and creative social media specialists, skilled public relations and marketing agencies, and a strong and effective sales force. The entire team has been rooted in beauty for many years and they mirror our genuine and honest approach. We are working together to help connect the dots that artists need to be inspired and they need to be paid. We are bringing to salons turnkey services that inspire their stylists and colorists, while pumping up the service menu and increasing revenue.'
Beauty Futures offers a range of service methods utilizing a portfolio of patented tools and products that ultimately make hairdressers lives better by giving them more inspiration using new techniques, and a chance to earn more money overall.
“The world we live in right now is about to get noisy,” adds Davis “We are staying focused on what brought us all together, which is to support our salons, and we will ultimately differentiate and guide our efforts in a meaningful and financially effective way for our fellow cosmetologists and colorists. We are offering salons more opportunities to make money and we wholeheartedly support their passion and artistry, as it comes from the same fire that fuels Beauty Futures.”
