Hair Accessories are Essential Items of Beauty Supply Stores

To be honest, in beauty supply, hair accessories such as hair beads, balls, and pins have a low unit price, so selling them is does not make a big profit. That is why many owners neglect them. However, hair accessories are crucial because they are the products that Black customers most frequently look for in stores.
“It’s not about making a profit out of these hair beads. You need these to attract customers. You can’t just sell high-priced products.”—Southern OO Beauty Supply President
Without these seemingly trivial accessories, customers won’t come to the store as much, and the overall sales of beauty supplies will inevitably decrease.

 

Hair Accessory Sales Increase During the Pandemic

Industry officials have agreed that even during the lockdown period due to the pandemic last year, beauty supply’s hair accessory sales have actually increased.
“Since people couldn’t go to beauty salons and get their hair done, there were a lot of people who simply styled their hair with a hairpin or a hair scarf and went out.”
“I think it’s because more people used affordable hair beads and balls to decorate their children’s hair.”
“As the braiding hair craze continued, the accessories needed for it also attracted attention.”

Easter is the season for transparent or white hair beads. They are the most basic style of hair beads. Recently, customers prefer larger beads than smaller ones.

An industry official also pointed out, “If there is no solid color products, white and transparent two-tone beads can be an alternative.”

 

Comeback! Wooden hair beads in the 90s

Wood beads were very popular in the early 90s, 30 years ago. Suddenly, African-style wooden hair beads that disappeared in time are back.
