A new partnership that will benefit Midwestern salon owners and stylists has been struck between Arrojo NYCand Cool Beauty Consulting to extend product distribution and educational opportunities from Michigan to Tennessee.
“We pride ourselves on building personal relationships and creating mutual success for salons that partner with us,” says Nick Arrojo. “To continue the growth while maintaining our values we wanted a distribution partner with a similarly familial focus and commitment to education. Cool Beauty Consulting not only have a history of incredible success working with salons, they are a team of award-winning hairdressers –– they truly understand the importance of education for the salon owner, stylist and, of course, retail numbers.”
The partnership means that Cool Beauty Consulting will work with Arrojo to expand their network of Ambassador Salons in Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan. It will open a whole new world of educational opportunities for stylists in these territories.
“Nick has built an inclusive brand that wants to share success and elevate our craft,” says Bennie Pollard, Cool Beauty Consulting President. That’s the kind of integrity we love. Through this partnership, we can offer beauty professionals in our network benefits like profitable product packages and a rewards system that gives back to the business and the stylist. But the education we can now offer is what sets this partnership apart. Nick’s education is some of the best around and now we are working together to provide exclusive in-salon training, introduce more stylists to Nick’s pioneering razor cutting, and put on exciting events for local hairdressing communities.”
A series of Arrojo / Cool Beauty Consulting educational events are already on the calendar, including look and learn razor cutting seminar with Nick Arrojo in Cleveland, OH (Feb. 19), Indianapolis, IN (Feb.26), Birmingham, MI (March 12), Louisville, KY (March 19). At these launches,attendees will:
- Meet, greet & hear from industry legend, Nick Arrojo
- Discover the craft hairdressing culture behind Arrojo NYC
- Learn of the array of education this alliance will bring to salon owners and stylists
The alliance is underway. Salon owners that become a part of it will enjoy immediate benefits, including substantial savings, and therefore profit potential, on product packages, an in-salon product usage and styling class with an Arrojo NYC Master Stylist , and ongoing rewards that can be redeemed for education.
