How to find a hair vendor

Search for a hair vendor to start your own hair extensions or wig business. Women from all over the world purchase beauty products, regardless the economic conditions. Looking good makes feel good and that is what we all want.

A hair business will bring you a stable source of income, but key is to find a good hair vendor. Read how to find a hair vendor with the least effort.

Checklist wholesale hair vendors

On your search for wholesale hair vendors a checklist will help you to find the best. Be sure you did a survey to understand the needs of your potential clients first. Do they like Brazilian or Peruvian hair or don’t they mind the country of origin. Will you have more clients who like Raw Hair, Virgin hair or do they have no preference. Will they buy the natural hair with the aim to bleach it to color 613? And much more you need to know before you start to search.

There are several channels to start your quest for wholesale hair vendors:

Find a Hair vendor on Google

Now you know the kind of hair your clients are looking for, you can open the google page and type ”Wholesale hair vendor”. You will get a lot of results, all websites from wholesale hair vendors from all over the world, from good to fraudulent, from new to businesses that are selling hair wholesale for a long time. You simple do not know anything about the hair company that shows on your google search page.

Now you can use some search techniques to refine your search on Google for your wholesale hair vendor.

Search social media
Put @ in front of a word to search social media. For example: @instagram. You could search now, in google for @instagram wholesale hair. This will help you to focus for information that is active on social media. I always recommend checking the social media pages of any company, because that will tell you genuine feedback from people who do not work for the hair company. You can even search for a specific brand, like @instagram darling hair.
for a price
Put $ in front of a number. For example: wig $400. This will show you all wigs online wit a price of $200. Be sure to use one word before the $ sign for the best result. This search technique will also help you to search on the market prices of the competition. Make sure you are not selling your frontals too high or too low!
Search hashtags
Put # in front of a word. For example: #raw. This will give you the hashtags for raw, but also individual keywords. I find this technique less useful.
Exclude words from your search
Put – in front of a word you want to leave out. For example, Brazilian –wax. Be sure you do not have any space between the – and the word you want to exclude from your search.
Search for an exact match
Put a word or phrase inside quotes. For example, “Virgin hair vendor”. This will limit the search results to exactly the key words you are looking for.
Search within a range of numbers
Put .. between two numbers. For example, wig $20..$80. This will help you again to focus on wholesale offers within a specific price range. When you know the price range your client is willing to pay for the hair and your mark up for cost an profit, I recommend using this technique to find the purchase price. Do not forget to our calculator to calculate your profit margin.

.

Combine searches
Put “OR” between each search query. For example, Kinky OR Curly. Sometimes the definition is not always very clear, with the OR function you can extend the search result by using different words your client might use for the same hair product. This again shows the importance of a good understanding of your clients’ needs and behavior.
Search for a specific site
Put “site:” in front of a site or domain. For example, site:howtosellhairextensions.com or site:.cn.

Find a hair vendor on Instagram

Hair is very popular on Instagram, so you will also find many hair vendors active on Instagram. To search for them you can use the search function. You can key in Hair vendor, and you get all the hair vendors active on Instagram. You can also filter on “Top, Accounts, Audio, Tags, or Places” to refine your search.

Use the comments and the likes to learn about the reputation of the vendor.

Your hair vendor on TikTok

Of course, you also use your TikTok account to search for hair vendors. TikTok is the fastest growing social media platform. On the top of the screen, you will find the search function. You can filter on Top Users Videos Sounds LIVE and hashtags.
