Supporting Adur's Thriving Beauty Industry
The beauty and wellness sector is one of the liveliest parts of Adur's high street economy. Shoreham-by-Sea has award-winning clinics and salons, Lancing and Southwick host a growing number of nail studios and lash specialists, and many independent therapists run mobile or home-based businesses across the district. To deliver consistent, professional results, these businesses need reliable access to quality products, tools and equipment at trade prices.
Beauty product wholesalers provide far more than stock. The best offer education, product training, new launches and business support. The ten wholesalers below are among the most trusted by beauty professionals in Adur.
1. Sally Salon Services
Sally Salon Services is one of the UK's most recognisable professional hair and beauty wholesalers. Its trade stores and online platform supply colour, care products, nail systems, tools and salon essentials.

10. The Waxing Shop
The Waxing Shop specialises in professional waxing products and accessories. As waxing remains one of the most requested treatments in salons, a dedicated specialist provides therapists with a broad choice of waxes, heaters and aftercare products to suit every client.
Trends in Professional Beauty Supplies
Clean beauty and sustainability are reshaping product ranges. Salons increasingly seek vegan, cruelty-free and refillable products, as well as low-waste disposables. Shoreham's environmentally conscious clientele is driving demand for brands with transparent ingredient lists and ethical sourcing.
Advanced skincare and aesthetics are also booming, with treatments such as microneedling, chemical peels and LED therapy becoming mainstream. Wholesalers are expanding their equipment ranges and training programmes accordingly. Meanwhile, digital ordering, loyalty schemes and subscription restocking are helping busy salon owners save time.
How to Choose a Beauty Product Wholesaler
Start by identifying the brands and treatments central to your business. Some wholesalers hold exclusive distribution rights for particular brands, so your choice of products may determine your supplier. Consider whether training and education are included, as these can add significant value.
Compare delivery times, minimum order values and trade pricing. Check that products meet UK cosmetics regulations and that safety data is available for professional use. Building relationships with a primary wholesaler often unlocks better discounts and early access to new launches.
Building a Profitable Retail Offer
Retail sales are an often overlooked source of income for Adur salons. Clients who enjoy a facial or manicure are usually keen to maintain results at home, and a well-curated retail shelf can add a meaningful percentage to monthly turnover. Wholesalers that offer retail-sized products, testers, display stands and point-of-sale guidance make it much easier for small salons to build this revenue stream.
Successful salons in Shoreham and Southwick typically focus on a small number of brands they genuinely believe in, rather than stocking everything. Staff training on product benefits, combined with personalised recommendations at the end of each treatment, builds trust and encourages repeat purchases. Choosing a wholesaler with strong brand education support is therefore just as important as securing competitive trade prices.
Conclusion
Adur's beauty professionals have access to an excellent selection of wholesalers, from national trade chains to specialist suppliers. By choosing partners that offer quality products, education and dependable service, salons and therapists across Shoreham, Lancing and Southwick can deliver outstanding treatments and grow successful, sustainable businesses.
