SalonCentric
L'Oréal USA's omni-channel distribution arm for licensed professionals — 20+ scissor brands sit alongside chemical product, appliance, and backbar lines in a single bulk-ordering relationship.
About SalonCentric
SalonCentric is L’Oréal USA’s professional omni-channel distribution business, built in 2008 to service the full range of salon infrastructure needs through one wholesale relationship. Headquartered in St. Petersburg, Florida, its lineage includes the acquisition of historic family-owned suppliers such as State Beauty Supply (Sam and Mary Lou Goellner, 1967) and Alternative Beauty Services — which is why licensed-professional buyers get a top-tier merchandising experience behind the login. The platform is tuned for salon-wide sourcing rather than shear-only specialisation, so stylists looking for the deepest artisanal Japanese catalogue will typically pair SalonCentric with a specialist retailer for signature-pair purchases while using SalonCentric for everything else.
The practical advantage for a salon owner is logistics. SalonCentric’s catalogue runs deep on wet-line brands — Redken, Matrix, Olaplex, K18 — and the scissor roster is one of the widest single-source lineups in the US: Kasho, Yasaka, Jaguar, SAM VILLA, Kikui, Kenchii, TONDEO, and more. The economic benefit is consolidation: a working salon can source Japanese 440C cutting tools in the same order as backbar shampoo, color developer, and styling station hardware, which simplifies accounts-payable and cuts receiving overhead versus running parallel relationships with five separate vendors. Call 877-250-9215 with a valid professional account to order.
