To our Stockholders,
 
We recently mailed to you the Proxy Statement dated March 7, 2007 of Sally Beauty Holdings, Inc. Since mailing the proxy statement, we have determined that there were errors contained in (i) the Summary Compensation table relating to perquisites and other compensation for our named executive officers for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, and (ii) our disclosure of the number of outstanding shares of our Common Stock on February 28, 2007, the record date for our annual meeting of stockholders. Accordingly, we are providing you with the corrected information which replaces the Summary Compensation table and footnotes appearing on pages 20 and 21 of the proxy statement, and the number of shares of outstanding Common Stock as reported on page 2 of the proxy statement. We have accordingly amended the proxy statement we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the information we are including with this letter should be read as amending such sections in the proxy statement previously delivered to you. In addition, we have amended our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended September 30, 2006, which was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 22, 2006, to reflect the revised Summary Compensation table. This filing can be found on the “Investing” section of our Web site at www.sallybeautyholdings.com.
 
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to express our appreciation for your continued interest in the affairs of Sally Beauty Holdings, Inc.
 
-s- James G. Berges
 
James G. Berges
Chairman of the Board
