    New hair and beauty product to UK market

    Thanks for your advise. Yes I've decided to create a strong brand. But I've just been told that only USA competitor has won patent and has told some suppliers to take off site. But I know for fact she didn't design as I even emailed her and told her I'd seen in another country. Also she still...

    New hair and beauty product to UK market

    Thanks for your advise. I'm looking into selling to wholesalers, my main fear is that as their more well established than I am, they would then take the idea and ask their own suppliers to make it for them. Cutting me out of the equation completely. I'm in the process of getting branding and...

    New hair and beauty product to UK market

    Hi Thanks so much for your input, it's an unbranded product, so I'll be free to rebrand as I so wish. The product is only being made by a few suppliers at present, but will soon be mass produced by many manufacturers. This was the reason I wanted to be the first company to introduce to uk market

    New hair and beauty product to UK market

    Yes that's my main fear. And I don't think there's any systems I can put in place from preventing that from happening. This is why I'm anxious about launching. However I also believe by offering wholesale prices I could gain loyal smaller hair salons as clients

In regards to the wholesale side of things, I would want to physically go to the hairdressers with the...

    Thanks for your input, the product I'd like to introduce is very new and currently not on the uk market at all. It's an modification on what's available and cuts down the hairdressing process by at least 40%. I was thinking I could go and pitch to very high end hair salons, show them the product...
