Our story

Not just a store.
A SYSTAHOOD.

SYSTAHOOD founders Dennis and Monica Alston

Founded in 1999 by Dennis Alston III and Monica Alston, SYSTAHOOD Beauty Supply began in East Orange, New Jersey, with a commitment to beauty, quality, and community. The family expanded to Easton, Pennsylvania, in 2011, bringing that same mission to a second location.

Dennis Alston IV, owner and operator of SYSTAHOOD East Orange

Today, the legacy continues through a second generation. Dennis Alston IV, son of the founders, is now the Owner/Operator of the original East Orange location, carrying forward the family vision through community partnerships, support for emerging beauty brands, and a renewed focus on the customer experience.

Two generations. Two locations. One mission. Our vision is to carry the SYSTAHOOD legacy into a third generation.

From spotlighting local entrepreneurs to in-store events and everyday beauty advice, we're proud to make room for everybody.
