Question hi scott, i really hope that you ccan help me.i live in chattanooga, tn and i am trying to open a beauty supply store.i have invested countless hours of resarch into trying to find wholesale distributors of beauty supply products(hair care products,nail care,beauty,grooming,etc.) all with no avail.do you have any suggestions on how i can go about doing this? thanks in advance, krisha
Answer Krisha,
Apologies for the slow answer, but I have been traveling the last week.
As for finding the wholesale distributors, I am not sure how you have approached the process, but my perspective would be to find the beauty products you want to stock in your store, then contact the manufacturers of those products and have them guide you to their distributors. Usually those distributors would also have other products represented once you find them.
Have you been to any health and beauty conferences or trade shows? This is also a place to find distributors.
Have you worked in this industry before? If so, where did your employer buy their products?
