Salon Selectives is a line of hair care products, ranging fromshampoos andhair conditioners tohair mousses, sprays, gels, and oils.
Introduced byHelene Curtis in 1987, Salon Selectives is the first salon-inspired mass market hair care brand. It was acquired byUnilever in 1996 and was restructured in 2000 with all-new products. In 2011, the line was relaunched again with 32-ounce bottles intended to give consumers salon grade product at affordable pricing.
When introduced in 1987, Salon Selectives was conceived as a level-based product line of shampoos, conditioners, and styling products. The shampoos had rosy-red bottles with level numbers, whileSalon Selectives conditioners were in lighter pink bottles bearing letter labels signifying type. The brand proved to be a success, with a 6.5 percent market share and annual sales of $275 million in the late 90s (second most successful US hair care brand).[1][2]
During 2000, theSalon Selectives product line was revamped. Most notably, the product line was housed in clear containers. The then-new theme-based product line was introduced in September 2000; products bore catchy names.
