SalonQuest d/b/a Aquage Acquired by Conair Corp.
Founded in 1998 Aquage develops salon grade hair-styling and finishing products. The company has two main brands including Aquage and SeaExtend that offer shampoo, conditioner, dry shampoo, detangler, oil foam, gel and other related hair care products. It sells exclusively to independent salon owners with customers worldwide and is based in Chagrin Falls. Ohio.
Conair will invest in Aquage to fully unleash its potential – developing new products, entering new product categories, and driving further international expansion.
The determined efforts of the Pharus Advisors team with their extensive knowledge and experience of the beauty industry helped ensure we found a great home for our Company with Conair Professional Product’s Division. Pharus not only helped position and market our company to a broad audience of potential suitors, they worked tirelessly throughout the negotiation and diligence process to help ensure a truly smooth transaction. We wanted to find a partner who would bring incredible synergies to our company and enable us to invest in our business, expand into new categories and grow our brands internationally. Thanks to Pharus, we found just that partner in Conair.
