Kayline by Wahl has appointed Scot Bateman as its new National Sales Manager.
Bateman will handle all aspects of sales for Kayline including promotions, overseeing manufacturer representatives and working closely with key customers. In addition, he will act as liaison between the customer and Kayline’s head designer Joe Ryan to make sure all feedback is received for further development of new products.
Bateman has 30 years of sales experience in the beauty industry, much of that time as Equipment Manager for Peels Friendly Supply. Bateman spent the past two years operating his own small business where he both sold beauty equipment and designed salons.
“I got a call from Joe Ryan, who I had worked with before designing some specific equipment for a very nice salon in St. Louis,” Bateman said. “I knew Joe was a great designer and he told me he was now with Kayline. After we talked it seemed like it would be a great opportunity to work with Joe to bring customers some great new products. I’m eager to build the Kayline brand, have fun bringing new products to customers and to show customers Kayline is a great choice of value and quality.”
Kayline is a leader in innovative salon equipment for the beauty professional. From rolling carts to manicure tables, Kayline provides endless options to customize equipment to meet a salon professional's organizational needs.
