On April 6, Cécred, the brand delivering transformational hair care for all, officially kicked off its partnership with Ulta Beauty, the nation's largest beauty retailer. The 35-time award-winning hair care brand founded by Beyoncé Knowles-Carter is now available to 1,400+ Ulta Beauty stores nationwide and online, marking the biggest exclusive hair launch in the specialty retailer's history.
Cécred's award-winning Foundation Collection will join Ulta Beauty's respected brand portfolio as a transformative solution for visibly healthier hair over time for all hair types and textures. New and existing guests can shop the entire Foundation Collection, including the bestselling Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner, the innovative Fermented Rice & Rose Protein Ritual and Cécred's latest breakthrough and 3x sold-out viral sensation Restoring Hair & Edge Drops.
The exclusive retail partnership is highlighted with prominent exposure and branded elements in Ulta Beauty stores and salons across the country. This includes custom merchandising fixtures including an impressive top shelf display on the gondola and a permanent endcap. All locations will have disruptive front-of-store presentation and branded banners in store windows and at checkout, including custom, life-size, shoppable displays of the patent-pending bottles at select locations.
"Expanding into retail just one year after the launch of Cécred is a powerful testament to the efficacy of our products and the deep connection we've built with our community," says Grace Ray, CEO at Cécred. "Our partnership with Ulta Beauty and their salons enables us to bring the Cécred transformation to more consumers of all hair types and textures and experience the benefits directly with a stylist they trust. Ulta Beauty shared our vision for how the brand would come to life in retail in an unprecedented way, and we can't wait for everybody to experience this new chapter with us."
"Launching Cécred exclusively at Ulta Beauty is an exciting milestone for both of us and reflects our commitment to partner with brands that work for everyone," adds Kecia Steelman, CEO of Ulta Beauty. "From our inclusive brand assortment and best-in-class services to the passionate associates delivering unmatched experiences on our sales floor and in our salon chairs, we offer the perfect landscape to introduce this brand in a unique and engaging way. We are honored to co-create a vision that will delight our guests and drive success for both of our businesses. We're beyond thrilled to welcome this beloved brand to Ulta Beauty stores and salons, allowing beauty lovers everywhere to discover their Cécred routine."
Additionally, the retailer will launch a first-of-its-kind salon integration at all 1,400+ The Salon at Ulta Beauty locations, that will showcase the product's transformative results to all salon guests, including backbar product, a permanent menu of Cécred salon services, ongoing salon events and more. Additionally, Ulta Beauty's 7,000 stylists will be trained on the science and efficacy behind Cécred products, ensuring they can provide both new and existing clients a firsthand experience of the transformative benefits, starting at the shampoo bowl.
