Online sales of beauty products—including professional products—have never been higher, while product sales by salons continue to crash. One reason: Consumers love to shop on Amazon.com, where they can find any brand of beauty product they desire, with the entire line always in stock, reviews by bloggers and by women just like them, tips, a great price and free shipping. Salons that don’t create an online shopping experience that’s as fast and convenient stand to lose their product profit center—and the loyalty that comes with clients who buy products from a salon.
