Licensed stylists can now conveniently source professional-use beauty products on Amazon Business.

Amazon Business launched the Amazon Professional Beauty Store to offer professional stylists, barbers, and estheticians a convenient, custom shopping experience with great selection. Discover top professional-use products in the new store from brands like Wella Color Charm, RUSK, and OPI Professional, plus other beauty supplies typically found in salons and spas.

“Changing is happening now in the Professional Beauty Industry by using technology for greater efficiencies and customer demands” – Denny Smolinski

“We are pleased to offer those in the professional beauty industry even more selection through the convenient shopping experience our customers love on Amazon Business,” said Steve Kann, Director of Customer Driven Experience, Amazon Business. “Stylists can find more of what they need at great prices with convenient delivery options, freeing up their time to focus on what’s important: their customers.”

Many professional stylists work independently and purchase a variety of beauty products specific to their customer needs, often traveling to multiple cosmetology stores.  Brand Stores may be owned by major brands and thus have few competing products, with no price comparison. Amazon Business can address these stylist pain-points with its large number of selling partners and fast, convenient delivery directly to their business.

The new professional-use selection requires a license to purchase products, such as state-issued cosmetology, barber, or esthetician licenses. Stylists can create a free Amazon Business account and upload their license to gain access to the brands their customers know and love.

Stylists can now find almost everything they need to run their business in a single store, including selection from professional-use brands, low prices, and fast, free shipping in one to two days on eligible orders with Business Prime.
