Soft Sheen Names Guy GM, Reveals ’08 Portfolio

Soft Sheen-Carson has a portfolio of new products for 2008, with at least one innovative range carving out a new segment within the hair care category.

This year, the ethnic beauty care division of L'Oréal USA is launching Weave Care, a line of products addressing the specific needs of women with weaves and extensions, as well as hot oil treatments, dandruff control, men's styling and other initiatives. The division is now being led by Angela Guy, who on Thursday was named general manager for Soft Sheen-Carson. She was previously senior vice president of sales, and replaced Candace Matthews, who left the company late last year for personal reasons. Guy joined Soft Sheen-Carson in 2004 as vice president of sales, and was promoted to senior vice president of sales last year. Industry sources expect Soft Sheen-Carson to end this year with $200 million to $250 million in sales.
