“Olaplex Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:OLPX) is a leader in the professional, luxury hair care and beauty products business. The company is a pioneer in science-based haircare, which is still in its early days compared to other parts of the luxury beauty market, like skincare. The company has built a dominant brand, delivering robust sales growth by leveraging salon relationships, word of mouth, and social media. We believe the business has a long runway of growth ahead driven by expanding distribution networks, deeper penetration amongst existing clients, and introducing new products. Olaplex is also a rare find among 2021 IPOs with strong profits, high free cash flow, impressive returns on capital, an experienced management team, and a long history as a private company and brand.”
