Beauty Supply Sales in Detroit: What to Buy and When

Sales are only useful if you buy the right things at the right time, and beauty supply is a category where that distinction matters. Some products keep for years and are worth buying deep when the price drops. Others go off, dry out or stop matching your hair, and buying six of them saves nothing. Kelly Beauty's discounts run on a monthly flyer that applies in all four stores and online at the same time.

Worth stocking up on

Braiding hair keeps indefinitely in the pack, so buying several of your standard colors during a sale is straightforward saving. The same is true of wig caps, bonnets, hair nets, rubber bands, clips, rods and rollers, none of which expire. Clipper blades, guards and combs fall in the same bucket. If you use one shampoo and conditioner consistently, buying two or three of each is safe.

Not worth stocking up on

Anything with a developer or an active chemical has a working life, so buying relaxers, color and bleach far ahead of use is a false economy. Lash glue and wig adhesive dry out once opened and degrade even sealed. Cosmetics have a shelf life, and a shade you love now may not match your skin in six months. Buy those for the season you're in.

Timing a big restock

Sales tend to cluster around holiday weekends and the back-to-school stretch, so if you know a large purchase is coming, checking the flyer before you buy is the cheapest habit to build. Kelly Rewards sends alerts by email and text, including early access, which matters when a popular color sells through in the first days of a sale.

Our Detroit store

Our Detroit store is at 15221 Houston Whittier St, just off Gratiot near 7 Mile on the east side, and it's the one that handles every online pickup order. It opens at 8:45 AM every day but Sunday, with the latest closing on Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8:15 PM. Coming from downtown or Midtown, Gratiot runs straight there; from the west side, 7 Mile or Davison to Conner is the quickest way over.
