Sweet Squared acquires nail brands from Louella Belle

Commenting on the acquisition which takes effect from 5th February, Jamie and Darren Crook say:

“We've known Sam and Sam Sweet (founders of Sweet Squared), for over 20 years and the reputation they've built within our industry is second to none. We are very confident that our customers will benefit from their outstanding service, product ranges and education for which Sweet Squared is so well known.

“Finally, we would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to our late mother and founder of Louella Belle, Lisa Crook.  We know that she will be looking down, excited to watch the brands continue to grow at their new home!”
