From Craig Hopkins, Education Leader Salon Division, Kao Salon Division | South Africa


“The Education Team at Kao Salon Division would like to wish a joyous festive season to all individuals working in salons through this busy time period. Thank you for continuing to support our Academies and your gratitude when we spend time with you in your salons!

Looking forward to a fun filled and inspirational 2023!”

From Kevin Tabilo, National Sales Manager: Salon Division


To our KAO Salon Family,

This year was the Year of the Revival for us as a company and as people after what has been undoubtedly a very challenging past three years or so. With everything happening in the economy at the moment, globally and locally, we are at least happy to say that for the most part our hairstylists are busy again and starting to come out of the worst of it.


Even with everything that we as South Africans put up with daily… load shedding, protest action and more, we are a resilient nation that knows how to make lemonade out of lemons so I foresee a huge resurgence in 2023 and as we already know, the beauty sector is one that has always survived and even thrived during economic recession. There’s nothing like walking out of salon with that beautiful colour or new cut or even just a gorgeous blowwave to give you that confidence to take on the world.


So with that being said, I just want to take this opportunity to firstly thank all of our KAO staff, without you our brands would never be able to reach over 1000 professional salons across Southern Africa. Our incredible warehouse team, our admin department, frontline staff and of course our education team that always goes above and beyond to assist our salons. Last but definitely not least I want to thank the Sales Team for the incredible work they have done this year despite trying times, our Sales Representatives and our Two Regional Managers have done an incredible job and as a Management team we couldn’t be more proud, so I thank you. Of course I would be remiss for not wanting to say a huge thank you to our Lead Team for all the support throughout the year.


The biggest thank you of course goes to you all in the industry… we couldn’t be where we are without your support. As the Salon Division we are solely responsible for looking after our salons so thank you for being with us this year, for your loyal support and for your unending belief in our two amazing brands, Goldwell and KMS. Without you all working your magic and making people feel beautiful day in and day out we would not have a business. So we know this is a crazy time of the year so enjoy the Festive spirit and we hope you all do get some time off and rest afterwards so that you are all fired up and ready to go in 2023.


Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly on (011) 3125070.


Sending you all our love during the crazy December period, thank you once again for your loyal support in 2022 and we look forward to an even better year in 2023.

Kind regards, Kevin Tabilo, National Sales Manager: Salon Division
