Total Summary of Beauty Brands

Countless brands of countless companies on display in beauty supply stores. They are confusing, difficult to distinguish, and even harder to remember. When customers come and find a specific brand, many beauty supply workers become confused about which company product they are from and can’t answer. Or sometimes, even after receiving an invoice, you may think that you have never ordered from the company. This is because unlike the brand name, the actual company name is not familiar. You are welcome to cut out the page that summarizes companies and its brands and put it on a well-visible counter. If you can answer immediately when a customer asks you, it will help you in business. In Part I, unusual or confusing brand names and interesting brand stories are listed, and in Part II, beauty brands are summarized and listed up.
