Haircare brand TSD Hair announced the launch of its new program for salons, Pro TSD Hair. The program gives salons across the country access to the company's haircare and extension products and educational programs designed by founder and celebrity stylist Takisha Sturdivant-Drew.
The Pro TSD Hair program gives salons discounted access to TSD Hair’s products for salon use and customer resale. Each product is formulated with a healthy-hair philosophy and ingredients that improve hair from the inside out.
"I started TSD Hair because I couldn't find the high-quality haircare and extensions I trusted on my own hair, let alone the hair of my celebrity clients. I now want to bring the products that I, my celebrity clients, and other professionals trust to salon owners who are as passionate about healthy hair and premium quality products as I am. Pro TSD Hair gives salon owners access to the premium products and education needed to grow their brands while giving clients red-carpet styles and products they'll love."
— Takisha Sturdivant-Drew, Founder TSD Hair
Pro TSD Hair members can also offer TSD Hair’s 100% human hair extensions in salon. The premium quality virgin human hair is available in a selection of textures and styles ideal for every ethnicity. Salon partners also enjoy access to exclusive educational classes and events hosted by Sturdivant-Drew and her network of other celebrity stylists. Additionally, Pro TSD Hair members gain access to the TSD Hair promotional team to grow their salon's presence and profits.
