Salon Selectives

When originally introduced in 1987, Salon Selectives was conceived as a level-based product line of shampoos, conditioners, and styling products. SS shampoos had rosy-red bottles with level numbers, while Salon Selectives conditioners were in lighter pink ones bearing letter labels signifying type. Popularized by Helene Curtis, the brand proved to be a success, with a 6.5 percent market share and annual sales of $275 million in the late 90s (making it the second most successful hair care brand in the US).^{[1] [2]}

Revamped theme-based lineup (2000–2006)

During 2000, the Salon Selectives product line was revamped. Most notably, the product line was no longer sold in the distinctive red and pink bottles. The then-new theme-based product line was introduced in September 2000; products bore catchy names, and were all housed in clear containers.

In 2010, the rights to the Salon Selectives brand was acquired by CLT International, a global health and beauty trader and brand acquisition company.^[3] CLT brought back a line of hair care products (including shampoo, conditioner, styling aids and hair brushes) in early 2011. The red and pink bottles and green apple scent have been restored. In addition to conventional advertising vehicles, CLT International is launching an aggressive social media campaign (featuring sites like Facebook and Twitter) to target a younger and broader demographic.^{[citation needed]}

Salon Selectives is, as of 2018, being marketed as a discount brand, with its standard size bottle available at a constant one-dollar price point.

Salon Selectives was acquired by Evergreen Consumer Brands on May 31, 2018.^[4]
