Beauty moves fast. Product cycles are short, channels keep shifting, and shoppers expect more. Hiring well here calls for consultants who know the category inside out.

Proven results with beauty and cosmetics brands
Our beauty work spans global groups, fast-growing challengers and the businesses that make and deliver beauty services. Clients include:
- Global consumer groups: Unilever, Coty and Avon
- Challenger and haircare brands: Revolution Beauty, Good Hair Day (GHD) and Hairburst
- Manufacturing and salon businesses: Orean Personal Care and Townhouse Group
Each partnership follows the same approach. We learn the brand, test the brief, and stay close through onboarding and the year after the hire. This is how we help clients secure leaders who accelerate growth and deliver lasting impact.
What makes us the leading beauty recruitment agency in Manchester?
Place comes first for us. The North West has its own talent pools, pay trends and career paths, and our Northern office network gives us genuine local knowledge of each one. A European presence adds reach when the right person sits further afield.
Nigel Wright Group is also 100% management-owned following a 2022 management buyout, so every consultant has a stake in each assignment. That ownership shapes a culture built on openness, integrity and teamwork. We look for the right answer, even when it takes longer to find. Our clients and candidates value that honesty, and many return to us over the long term.
