Salon Services sells to US rival for £30m

A SCOTTISH hair and beauty products chain has been sold off to a US rival for £30 million.

Salon Services, which has become one of the UK's biggest beauty wholesalers after starting out with a single shop in Glasgow, has been snapped up by Sally Beauty.

A total of seven staff members have become millionaires from the deal after cashing in the share options they bought years ago. But their identity was undisclosed.
