Sally Beauty Unveils ‘Rooted in Success’ Series For Black History Month

Sally Beauty, an industry-leading destination for salon-quality hair color and care, has partnered with The Black Hair Experience, an organization dedicated to celebrating Black hair and culture, to unveil the first “Rooted in Success” experiential event series.


 


Rooted in Success will kick-off with two pop-up events on Saturday, Feb. 24 in Atlanta, and Saturday, March 16 in Washington, DC. 


 


Timed for Black History and Women’s History Months, Rooted in Success facilitates engagement between students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), entrepreneurs, Black- and female-founded beauty brands and consumers. The collaboration underscores Sally Beauty’s commitment to building an ecosystem that fosters connections within the textured hair community, according to the brand.


 

The retailer currently carries an expansive assortment of over 100 textured hair brands – over 50 of which are Black-owned or founded, including national brands like SheaMoisture, Kaleidoscope, Mielle Organics and TPH by Taraji among others. The retailer is also home to six Black-founded emerging brands from Sally Beauty’s small business focused Cultivate Accelerator Program.


 


This spring, active HBCU-enrolled students in the US will receive 10% off in-store and online at Sally Beauty.


 


“We believe beauty is a powerful form of self-expression, and we see it as our role to facilitate access beyond quality products by providing opportunities for influential industry leaders to engage, inspire, and connect with consumers and young entrepreneurs,” said John Goss, president of Sally Beauty. “At Rooted in Success, we are showcasing founder-led stories from both emerging and established Black beauty leaders, and we are excited to celebrate this partnership through local events and continued support year-round.”
