What Is Private Label Haircare?

Private label haircare is a business arrangement where a manufacturer produces hair care products (shampoos, conditioners, masks, serums, etc.) and a brand owner sells them under their eigið vörumerki.

The brand owner:

• Chooses products from the manufacturer’s catalog
• Customizes branding (logo, packaging, labels)
• Sets pricing and distribution strategy
• Owns the brand sjálfsmynd

The manufacturer:

• Produces the products to agreed specifications
• Handles manufacturing logistics
