In the competitive landscape of professional haircare, choosing the right brand partnership is crucial for a salon’s growth and success. Revlon Professional has become a trusted choice for many salons, providing not only high-quality products but also a comprehensive support system designed to empower salon professionals in every aspect of their business. From personalised training sessions to consistent one-on-one support, Revlon Professional enables salons to stay on the cutting edge of industry trends and techniques while fostering a collaborative community.
In this feature, we speak with Elee Samra of Linear Hair in Caroline Springs VIC, Tegan Kelly of Salon South in Cairns QLD, and Aaron Nallo of Mooi Hair in Canberra ACT, who share their experiences partnering with Revlon Professional. Each of them reveals how the brand’s dedication to ongoing education, technical support, and innovative solutions has enhanced their ability to deliver exceptional results to their clients, creating a foundation of trust and reliability. For these salon owners, the partnership with Revlon Professional is more than just a business arrangement—it’s an opportunity to grow, connect, and elevate their craft with the support of an industry leader committed to their success.
Editor of Hair Biz Louise May chats with Elee, Tegan and Aaron about their brand partnership with Revlon Professional.
What’s the best part about partnering with Revlon Professional?
Elee Samra: I am never in doubt of the company, the brand or the products evolving and growing. Revlon is always keeping up to date, refreshing and renewing their products making sure that we are able to give our clientele a reliable product that really works.
Tegan Kelly: The best part about partnering with Revlon Professional is having the opportunity to work with a well-established brand and team that aligns with our values and is known for their innovation, quality and dedication to our industry. The Revlon team are always there for support and provide a safe, family-like community. From monthly visits, phone calls, education classes, exclusive events and opportunities that spread well beyond the salon floor.
Aaron Nallo: The support I get across all aspects of my business. I particularly find the “Revlon Pro Always On” website amazing when it comes to new product launches and the training material provided.
How likely are you to recommend Revlon Professional as a brand to fellow salon owners and why?
Elee Samra: I couldn’t recommend Revlon highly enough! Revlon has a large range catering for all hair types. It is a high-quality product with a reasonable price point allowing room for profit yet delivering exceptional results.
Tegan Kelly: I would highly recommend Revlon Professional. I am located regionally in Far North Queensland and as a brand, they genuinely commit to building a relationship with you. Their personalised support really sets them apart.
Aaron Nallo: I would be very likely to recommend Revlon Professional. You truly get the vibe and attention that you are dealing with a small company with all the benefits of working with an industry leader.
What’s your favourite Revlon Professional moment? (e.g. Fashion Week, Empowered salons conference, education classes)
Elee Samra: I am all about the educational classes for our staff. Without education, we are unable to evolve and move forward with society.
Tegan Kelly: Favourite moment: Too many to choose from! I love the opportunities they provide for networking within our industry. Their team morale around these events allows connections with other creatives and professionals on another level which in turn only enhances growth both personally and for business.
Aaron Nallo: It would be hard to top Empowered Salons, held in Cairns, but after our recent training with Beatnik Blondes it would definitely be the in-salon training. The motivation and techniques that not only myself but the entire staff gain from those training days are amazing
How does Revlon Professional support your salon?
Elee Samra: Revlon supports the salon by consistent face to face meetings with our rep.
In these meetings, we are offered training courses, given the latest updates and also shown what’s up and coming.
Tegan Kelly: Revlon supports their salons and teams by providing us with the latest and greatest products and technologies. They actively seek feedback and make you feel heard. Nothing is too big or small and if your direct go-to-girl doesn’t have the answer, she goes straight to the top!
Aaron Nallo: I receive the most support from my Revlon Professional Account Manager, Antony, who is a constant support and mentor for my business. He is always a phone call away. Also, our Technician, Laura, generously shares her wealth of experience and knowledge with the entire team. The staff truly gain so much from having Laura in the salon with us at least 1 day every month or two.
What 3 words would you use to describe Revlon Professional?
Elee Samra: Reliable, effective, modern Tegan Kelly: Inclusive, innovative and downright awesome!
Aaron Nallo: Reliable, modern and inclusive.
What is your personal favourite Revlon Professional product range and why?

In particular the Hairspray, Shine Spray and Volume Mousse. These products do a fantastic job and take me back to when I first started hairdressing. Simple favourites that are effective!
Tegan Kelly: Favourite product range? Oh, that’s tough!! I do love the Magnet lightening range! Especially in FNQ where we have a lot of clients with harsh/hard waters. Magnet is an amazing technology that actually works! And smells divine.
Aaron Nallo: My personal favourite Revlon Professional product range is RE/START. It covers all bases regardless of my client’s needs and I can recommend it to any client with full confidence they will love it.
What’s the most popular Revlon Professional product within your customer base?

This is an absolute game-changer. A product for all hair types and all age groups.
This product is versatile, easy to use and never disappoints!
Tegan Kelly: Most popular product within our client base: Unique One all the things! And RE/START Balayage cream! And Nutri Color Filter.
Aaron Nallo: The RE/START Balayage Cream is our most popular Revlon Professional product. Clients love that they can use just 1 product to address all their hair needs. From treating lightened hair to nourishing natural hair, the RE/START Balayage Cream can do it all.
