Insights
Sally Beauty strategically expands nail products to fuel growth and customer acquisition with over 1,400 SKUs and exclusive brand partnerships.
Sally Beauty's expansion into nail products represents a targeted strategic pivot, growing their assortment to over 1,400 products across multiple categories including classic polish, gel, dip powders, and press-ons. This move highlights the company's recognition of nails as both a customer acquisition channel and a foundational growth pillar.
The announcement reveals several key business strategies:
- Leveraging exclusive brand partnerships (like the one-year KISS exclusivity deal)
- Focusing on proprietary innovation through Sally-exclusive products
- Creating multi-tier entry points across price ranges and technical expertise levels
- Expanding omnichannel accessibility (BOPIS, 2-hour delivery, marketplaces)
This approach appears well-calibrated to beauty market dynamics, where nail products typically offer higher margins than many beauty categories while requiring lower consumer investment than skincare regimens or hair color systems. The timing with National Nail Week provides a natural marketing hook.
While the release mentions "significant momentum" in the nail category, it notably lacks specific performance metrics or financial projections. The strategy aligns with classic beauty retail principles of using high-turn, trend-driven products to attract customers who may later expand into higher-ticket categories.
The emphasis on convenience through multiple fulfillment options suggests Sally Beauty is working to compete effectively against both specialty beauty retailers and mass merchandisers who have expanded their beauty offerings. This strategic focus on nails appears to build on existing strengths rather than representing a dramatic operational shift.
The Beauty Retailer Sharpens Focus on Nail Innovation, Accessibility, and Self-Expression to Attract and Retain the Next Generation of Beauty Shoppers
Over the past year, Sally Beauty has seen significant momentum in its nail category, driven by consumer demand for trend-forward, accessible solutions. Nails have quickly become a leading discovery channel for first-time customers of the beauty retailer, highlighting the category's growing importance in the brand's long-term strategy. In response, Sally Beauty is accelerating its focus on exclusive launches, high-performing innovation, and increased access to top brands, cementing nails as a foundational pillar of growth for the retailer.
"Nails continue to be one of the most exciting and expressive categories in beauty, and a key entry point for new Sally Beauty customers," said Maryann Herskowitz, Group Vice President at Sally Beauty. "As we celebrate National Nail Week, we're proud to share our expanded assortment that delivers on both innovation and accessibility, bringing professional-quality results and the latest nail trends straight to our customers."
Rolling out through June, the expanded product lineup features buzzworthy launches from best-selling brands like Nailboo, KISS, Dashing Diva, and Sally Beauty exclusive, ASP. Consumer behavior informed the need to expand the assortment for all experience levels, but especially in key growth areas like gel and press-ons, where shoppers are actively seeking more variety and innovation. Highlights include:
- Nailboo: The viral brand is a fan favorite amongst nail enthusiasts thanks to its high-quality press-ons, trending shades, and new-to-market color-changing thermal technology (available in Forever Glaze Gel Polish and Dip Powder). Nailboo's Magic Soak Electric Remover Bowl makes it simple for consumers to change their look with natural nail protection built in to reduce damage.
- KISS: Exclusively available at Sally Beauty for one year, KISS Gel Pro Polish offers a self-leveling formula that creates a smooth and even surface for consumers to master an elevated gel manicure at home.
- Dashing Diva: With the base coat, color, and top coat all built into one convenient product, consumers will save time and money with One Gel Color Polish. The removal process is just as easy with One Gel Magic Off. The gel bubbles off in minutes with just a few drops.
- ASP: Exclusively available at Sally Beauty, ASP Versatility Gel is a new gel-acrylic hybrid formula that builds, sculpts, and strengthens nails, available in 18 shades. Consumers can also create a custom look by waving a magnet over the Cat Eye Gel Polish, leaving a sleek shimmer effect.
With more shoppers embracing nails as a form of everyday self-expression, Sally Beauty continues to meet them where they are, with trends, value, and convenience. With products available through Buy Online, Pick Up In-Store, two-hour delivery, and marketplaces, the retailer is making the at-home manicure experience easier than ever.
In celebration of National Nail Week, consumers will discover expert-driven content from Sally Beauty's own nail expert, Juli Russell (@jauntyjuli), across the retailer's digital channels, spotlighting the season's must-have shades like butter yellow and cherry red, along with easy-to-follow tips for achieving the latest trends. Shoppers can also take advantage of special offers on select nail products throughout June, including Buy 2 Get 1 Free on Select Gel Nails (6/15-6/29), and explore the latest nail innovations by visiting SallyBeauty.com or their nearest Sally Beauty location.
