SALLY BEAUTY SUPPLY
RECOGNIZES THREE FOR VENDOR OF THE YEAR
Sally Beauty Supply LLC has inducted Krest, Dr. Miracle and Palladio into the “Partners in Progress, Vendor Hall of Fame” during a luncheon at the Sally Beauty Holdings headquarters in Denton, TX.
“We are pleased to honor our outstanding manufacturers,” said Mike Spinozzi, President of Sally Beauty Supply. “These companies have the same dedication to quality and customer service that is the hallmark of Sally Beauty’s success.”
These vendors were selected for their participation in Sally programs, outstanding merchandising support, timely launch of new items, assistance in all aspects of product introduction and the ability to meet critical deadlines. Each manufacturer has a strong history with Sally Beauty.
Ester and Pat Dimarzio founded Krest in 1958 with one style of comb and a dedication to professional quality. Today their grandson, Dean Dimarzio, operates the company. Offering more than 100 different styles of combs, they have continued to focus on quality.
When African Pride Founder Brian Marks developed Dr. Miracle’s Brand four years ago, Sally Beauty was the first chain to carry it. After developing a strong partnership, Sally Beauty was eager to partner with Marks on new products and has since watched the line continue to grow.
Philip Solomon founded Palladio Beauty Group in 1999 and in 2000 a partnership with Sally Beauty began with only one item in the stores. This item proved successful, as did the relationship between the two companies. Today Palladio and Sally Beauty continue to work together on the ever-growing product line.
