SBS Wins Professional Salon Products Supplier of the Year 2025 and Announces Major Expansion for 2026

Blackburn, Lancashire, 2025:

Salon Business Solutions (SBS), the professional supplier known for going above and beyond for hair salons, has been named Professional Salon Products Supplier of the Year 2025. The award recognises the company’s consistent commitment to reliable service, accessible support, and high-quality ethical brands. It comes at a time of significant growth, with SBS preparing to move into a warehouse three times the size of its current facility next year.

The judging panel highlighted SBS’s ability to support salons in ways that extend far beyond simply supplying products. Customers benefit from a wide portfolio of free education, exceptional customer support, next-day delivery, free delivery on orders over £100, a straightforward trade-only platform and a rewards programme designed to help salons save not with discounts on everyday purchases at home - not just the salon. 

SBS also provides access to reduced rates to business support through its affiliate network as well as supporting salons with everyday guidance on day-to-day business advice outside of products. This level of practical assistance remains unusual within the professional supply chain and was noted as a key reason for the company’s win.

SBS was also praised for its strong brand portfolio, chosen for both performance and responsible manufacturing. Among its most sought-after names is O&M, which continues to grow in popularity for its clean, science-led approach to haircare. The supplier also partners with Centred, Every Green, Keratin Complex, B Brush, and Nine Yards. All these brands are selected for their sustainable packaging, cruelty-free production and formulas that meet the expectations of today’s salon clients.

Rapid growth and demand have led to confirmed plans for a larger warehouse in January 2026. The new space will allow SBS to increase stock levels, introduce new and emerging brands, improve fulfilment capacity, and strengthen the consistency of next-day delivery. 

The company’s achievements were recognised before attention turned to the team behind the business. SBS was founded by Nicholas Barnes, Jo Jagger, Adam Riley and Sam Griffiths, experts within distribution for haircare. Their background has shaped the company’s values and the practical way it supports professionals, but the award acknowledges that it is the experience delivered to salons today that has secured SBS this national recognition.

The founders said:

“This award reflects the trust salons place in us every day. Our aim has always been to support professionals in a way that genuinely makes their working life easier. The expansion next year gives us the space to grow our brand line-up and continue improving the service our customers rely on.”
