Founding suppliers
A small, reviewed group first. Open seller accounts later.
The founding supplier stage is designed to prove demand, build trust, and learn what UK hair professionals actually need before turning this into a broader marketplace.
Why this matters: a wide-open seller marketplace too early would create the same trust problem buyers already have. Founding profiles let us set the standard first.
Who we want first
Reliable UK stock suppliers
Good fit for stylists who need speed, emergency stock, and repeatable ordering.
Premium donor or made-to-order suppliers
Good fit where buyers will wait longer for better sourcing clarity and custom work.
Private label and wholesale suppliers
Good fit for salons, educators, and small brands building their own range.
Specialist method suppliers
Good fit for tapes, wefts, nanos, closures, toppers, wigs, or niche textures.
Founding profile requirements
| Requirement | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Clear product range | Buyers need to know exactly what you supply before enquiring. |
| Transparent lead times | Speed and quality are different buying decisions. Both can be valid if stated clearly. |
| Sample or colour support terms | Colour matching is a major trust barrier in hair extensions. |
| Written policies | Returns, replacements, and complaints should be understood before the first order. |
| Responsive contact route | Trade buyers need a reliable way to ask questions and resolve issues. |
