Our Company

About KOSCA

Authorized South India distributor for Wella, System Professional, Sebastian and OPI. Eight branches, 4,000+ salon partners across five states.

The authorized Wella Company
distributor for South India

KOSCA (Cosmetic Beauty Care) is Wella Company's authorized distributor across South India and a unit of the Sabari Group of Companies. Since our founding we have connected the Wella Company portfolio (System Professional, Sebastian, OPI and more) to salons, wholesalers and retail chains across the region.

Alongside distribution, we run product training through KOSCA Academy, provide after-sales support, and maintain an on-ground field team in every state we cover.

Branch warehouses in every market and field teams who know it mean reliable stock and real, local support, not a number on an invoice.
