Salon Centric

I have been to many beauty supply stores in the area, I’m talking about Cosmoprof, San Jose beauty supply, Sally or even the one in the Eastside of SJ «Tully beauty supply», none of them are actually live up to my standard. Hands down Salon Centric is by far has the best costumer service, and the most organized clean store I have ever been too.
The staffs are very helpful and friendly. They all know my name and greeted me the minute I open the door and let me know what’s on sale and always ask me if I need help with anything. They even call me on my phone sometime if there’s any promotions and keep me up to date with all the produts they sell there.
Thank you ladies for helping me and always making my shopping enjoyable.

The store here is well organized and always clean. The entire staff is friendly. I come her for Alterna Caviar Shampoo and Condition, and a few other favorite brands that I just can’t live with out. The staff here is really helpful and knowledgable. They don’t sit behind the counter, they walk up to you and offer suggestion and tips on how to use a product, which is always appreciated.

Came to this store to buy a few pravana colors with promotion posted up the shelf if purchased 12 chroma silk you get a free developer so I grabbed one. Went to the register and Lydia was at the front. I mentioned the promo for the free developer and I get an instant rejection that it was not free. Not a big deal since I was there for the pravana colors anyway, but Lydia kept repeatedly say no no no and talking to her coworker about checking skew numbers and left me standing there for a good 15mins while they try to figure out if it was free or not. I don’t work the register or anything but I’m pretty sure if you type in the promo skew number u can figure out if it’s going to be deducted from your total amount or not. Lydia and her co worker was at the other register talking amongst themselves that the other girl rang up somebody that day and the skew number worked for that promo but Lydia insisted that it is not valid. Whatever I dont care about the developer anymore I’ve been standing here for 15 minutes while u guys over arguing about something that Is so simple to figure out. «Hello I’m still standing here can’t I pay for my stuff so I can get out of this he’ll hole?!» I WILL NEVER COME TO THIS LOCATION EVER AGAIN! HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! !!!

I just got off the phone and finally got the help I was so desperately searching for and Lillian was so kind and willing to go the extra step in her customer service. I had called the other SC store prior to calling this one and the lady there was rude and distracted. I was left feeling frustrated!!! Thank God for people like Lillian who do care about helping others especially customers on the phone~ She went above and beyond, compared to the other girl. This is all by phone, and I can only imagine how much more amazing Lillian is in person! I am sure if I were to come into the store, I would buy so much more and receive a great shopping experience in addition to product knowledge and be confident with my purchases with Lillian’s help!!!

I am a licensed Cosmetologist and I recently opened my own salon within Sola Salon Studios Willow Glen so I am quite the regular here now. At my salon I carry primarily Redken and Pureology. The staff at SalonCentric is super sweet and helpful. They are always quick to tell me about promotions and classes they are offering. They have the best selection of retail and back-​bar products, however I don’t typically buy my equipment or tools here, I usually go to CosmoProf.

The store is always neat & clean, I can always find what I’m looking for. The ladies are very sweet, helpful and are nice to keep you up to date with promotions or even the classes that are going on.

The availability of the products is better than what is available for professional tools and accessories (very small section of brushes, bobby pins etc). They mainly have Redken, Pravana and some other brands but even from whats available they don’t have a wide selection and there’s a lack of variety in sizes for some of the products.
The customer service is hit or miss, in general its pretty good. Although one time I went to buy one chemical product for a co-​worker (and she needed the product right away for the appointment at the same time) and the lady in front of me was taking forever to update her account information and she even left during the middle of the transaction to use the restroom when it was time to check out. Since there was only one cashier at the time I had to wait about 15 – 20 minutes to buy one item. Which is fine but it would’ve been better if she had asked if I could go first since my transaction would’ve been much quicker.
Overall its ok for professional products as long as you know they only offer a certain selection of the product line that you may need. But my search for the best professional beauty supply continues…

For professionals only. This is my favorite Salon Centric in the area. I come here quite often and love all the girls that work here. They always are there to help and greet you with a smile! They keep me updated on all the latest product releases and remember what brands I love. So happy they’ve brought Essie into their family!

Love the girls that work there; they’re so nice and upbeat. Store is well organized so it’s easy to find things. I get all my products here, event information and classes. :)

I am an esthetics student and I have an account with this store. I really like it– it is clean, well stocked, and the staff is usually very helpful. There are always specials and sales going on, which is a big incentive to go in and browse, even if I am not going to make a big ticket purchase. I brought 3 items up to the counter once (same brand & type of hair care) and they went and got me the same 3 items that were in a sale package that I hadn’t seen. That is the kind of helpfulness that makes a big difference to me as a student on a budget. The only downside is that the skin care section is pretty minimal. They have a lot of Bioelements and some other stuff– like Repechage hyrdating masks. Other than that it’s a hair based supply store. Good thing I like buying hair product! I will come here for all my hair needs.
–1 star because of the lack of skin care and skin care related products.

I love getting most of all I need in Salon Centric, am still use to calling them Maly’s, but this store is my favorit to come by when I need products or information about anything. The one in Colma is my store to go to. Everytime I’m there I leave with a lot of samples and great services. Pravana is there now and that is also cool. I brought my first set of shears there and they are still sharp. I got them like three years ago. When I was a student I didn’t have any issue getting my card unlike Cosmo Prof in Daly City, man there were many issue.
I love Salon Centric. And it’s one of my favorit place to be.

Formerly named Malys. This is now called Salon Centric because Malys was bought out by Loreal. Salon Centric is a local pit stop to licensed professionals only and is not open to the public, unfortunately.
They’ve introduced new skincare products and I’m a huge fan!
Everything is discounted wholesale price and the brand names are endless.
I shop here for haircare, skincare, and tools.
I love it!
I highly recommend the soy candles! When you light them the wax turns into massage oil.

i love this Maly’s because not only is it near my home… but they are always stocked with the Redken color i need for my job as a hairstylist. its nice to come to a place where you are allowed to purchase the products, as long as you are currently licensed into the cosmo world… or at least… in school training to get to that point one day. the ladies there have always been friendly & its a bonus because they sometimes offer classes at this location too.

Store for COSMETIC PROFESSIONALS ONLY.
I decided to tag along with my mom today to go buy beauty supplies to restock her store. Why not – when she can get OPI nail polish and my favorite Pureology shampoo/​conditioner for cheaper?
Out of all the cosmetic/​beauty supply stores I’ve ever visited with her, this store by far, is the most impressive. We were greeted the instant we walked in and the workers were very friendly and welcoming. Being a typical Asian bargain shopper, my mom wanted to know what special sales were going on this month and they responded patiently and they were very eager to help. Looking through a cosmetic store can be overwhelming but the workers made it easy to find what we were looking for.

For professionals only but they have great prices and carry all my Redken products. The staff is friendly and I have always been able to find what I need.

This is one of the vendors I work with and the people that work for Maly’s are super sweet and very helpful. If you need something special ordered, they’re on it! They always say hello when I go in and it’s so nice that they know you personally. Pam and Janelle are awesome, and my rep, Helen is just a doll. They are my favorite salon pro distribution center!

This is a great place for professionals with cosmo lic., to get supplys. They are very friendly, and profesional people.
