NEW YORK and DEERFIELD, Ill. — Mark Hill Salon Professional products, created by internationally acclaimed hairstylist Mark Hill, is launching nationwide at Walgreens and Duane Reade drug stores this month.
The companies said Monday that the U.S. debut of the Mark Hill Salon Professional hair care line marks one of the product launches arising from the partnership that Walgreens and Alliance Boots formed last summer.

"I’ve spent more than 15 years creating a range of hair care products that are of such high quality that they are used every day in my salon," celebrity hairstylist Hill said in a statement. "To bring an effective, yet affordable range to the U.S. is absolutely a dream come true."
Shannon Curtin, divisional vice president and general merchandise manager of beauty and personal care at Walgreens, commented, "As part of our vision to be the first choice for health and daily living, our beauty team is committed to offering customers exciting products to help them achieve the latest trends and styles. By offering Mark Hill Salon Professional products, shoppers can now take advantage of celebrity-worthy, salon-caliber hair care products at great value from their local Walgreens."
