This strategic expansion builds on the brand's salon heritage while significantly increasing its physical and digital retail footprint nationwide.

The partnership is designed to drive in-salon adoption, client recommendation, and repeat professional replenishment—strengthening long-term retail performance and market reach.
"Bumble and bumble has always been a brand built by pros, for pros, and our partnership with SalonCentric allows us to bring our education, artistry, and iconic products to more stylists than ever before," said Shane Wolf, President of Global Brands, Bumble and bumble and Aveda, The Estée Lauder Companies ("ELC"). "This expanded access, aligned with ELC's Beauty Reimagined strategic vision to increase our presence in preferred channels, allows us to drive adoption behind the chair and build stronger, long-term relationships with professionals nationwide. It's a deliberate step to advance our position and reaffirm our commitment to hairdressers and the professional community we helped build."
Through SalonCentric, Bumble and bumble will significantly expand on-demand and in-person education, covering deeper product knowledge, business-building resources, and advanced artistry techniques via in-person events, digital livestreams, and both long- and short-form content. These offerings will help stylists elevate their craft, while confidently recommending Bumble and bumble to clients, directly supporting in-salon recommendation, retail conversion, and repeat purchase.
"Our mission is simple yet profound: to elevate the craft, honor the artist, and shape the future of professional hairdressing, one class, one cut, and one creative at a time," said Sheri Doss, Head of Education, Bumble and bumble. "Every stylist deserves access to education that sharpens skill and fuels confidence behind the chair."
Bumble and bumble remains committed to its existing salon network, which will continue to receive direct distribution and personalized support from the Bumble and bumble team.
"We are thrilled to welcome Bumble and bumble to the SalonCentric community," said Vanessa Dusold, VP of Partner Brands for SalonCentric.
