              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1.           BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been
prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The statements presented do not include all information and
footnotes required to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been included. Results of operations in interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. These
condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in
conjunction with Styling Technology Corporation's (the Company) consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 1998. The preparation of
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and
assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as well as
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the accompanying
consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of the revenues and
expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.


NOTE 2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Effective January 1, 1999 the Company adopted Statement of Position 98-1,
Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software, ("SOP 98-1"). SOP 98-1 provides
guidance on accounting for the costs of computer software developed or obtained
for internal use. The adoption of SOP 98-1 did not have a material effect on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. This statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments, including derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. The statement is
effective for the Company's quarter ending March 31, 2000. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 133 will have on its future
results of operations and financial position.

During 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued
Statement of Position 98-5 Reporting on the Costs of Start-up Activities ("SOP
98-5"). SOP 98-5 requires costs of start-up activities and organization costs to
be expensed as incurred. The Company adopted this statement effective January 1,
1999. The adoption of SOP 98-5 did not have a material effect on the Company's
financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 5. LONG-TERM DEBT

As of March 31, 1999, the Company had borrowed approximately $24.0 million on
its revolving line of credit for working capital purposes including financing
the working capital requirements of its internal growth. In addition, the
borrowing was used to fund capital expenditures associated with the Company's
centralization and reengineering project, to repay debt created in conjunction
with the acquisition of Gena Laboratories, Inc. in November 1996, and to repay
debt assumed in the acquisition of Framesi USA. On March 30, 1999, the Company
added a $5.0 million overline facility maturing June 30, 1999 to its revolving
line of credit. As of March 31, 1999, there were no amounts outstanding on the
overline.

In May 1999, the Company received a commitment for a $90 million Senior Secured
Revolving Credit Facility from GE Capital Corporation. The new facility will be
used to repay amounts outstanding under 


                                       7
<PAGE>   8
the Company's current $50 million credit facility, for future acquisitions, and
for working capital purposes. The Company intends to take an extraordinary,
non-cash charge during the second quarter of approximately $400,000 net of tax,
or approximately $0.10 per diluted share, related to the write-off of
unamortized financing costs associated with the current facility. The Company
expects the new facility to close in June. The closing of the new credit
facility is subject to the execution of definitive loan documents.


NOTE 6. INTEREST RATE PROTECTION

The Company maintains certain interest rate protection instruments to reduce the
impact of changes in interest rates. These instruments include an interest rate
swap and interest rate cap agreement (the Agreements). The Company is exposed to
a risk of credit loss in the event of nonperformance by financial institutions
that are also party to the Agreements. However, the Company believes that, based
on the high creditworthiness of these counterparties, nonperformance is
unlikely. The following is a summary of the Company's Agreements as of March 31,
1999:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS.

INTRODUCTION

Styling Technology Corporation (the Company) is a leading developer, producer,
and marketer of a wide array of professional salon products, addressing all
salon product categories, including hair care, nail care, and skin and body care
products, as well as salon appliances and sundries. Through strategic
acquisitions, the Company has acquired well-recognized brand names, a strong
distribution network, established marketing and salon industry education
programs, and significant production and sourcing capabilities.

The Company believes it is the only company that develops, produces, and markets
products in each category of the professional salon products industry and that
its ability to offer customers a "one-stop shop" for brand-name professional
salon products creates a competitive advantage. The Company currently sells more
than 550 products under 17 principal brand names, including ABBA Pure and
Natural Hair Care(R) products, Body Drench(R) skin and body care products, Clean
+ Easy(R) hair removal products, European Touch II(R) pedicure spa equipment,
Framesi(R) hair care products, Gena(R) nail and pedicure products, Kizmit(TM)
acrylic nail enhancements, Revivanail(R) nail treatments, and Roffler(R) hair
care products. In the United States, the Company markets its product lines
through professional salon industry distribution channels to more than 2,300
customers, consisting primarily of salon product and tanning supply distributors
(that resell to beauty and tanning salons), beauty supply outlets, and salon
chains. The Company also markets its products directly to more than 3,000 spas,
resorts, and health and country clubs through its in-house sales force.
Internationally, the Company sells its products primarily through international
salon product distributors.

Except for the historical information contained herein, the discussion in this
Quarterly Report contains or may contain forward-looking statements that involve
risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ materially
from those discussed here. Factors that could cause or contribute to such
differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed herein, as well as
those factors discussed under "Special Considerations" contained in Item 1 of
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
1998. Historical results are not necessarily indicative of operating results for
any future period.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999

The Company earned net income of $1.0 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, after
centralization and reengineering costs of $660,000, for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 as compared to net income of $1.4 million, or $0.34 per diluted
share, for the corresponding period during 1998.

Net Sales

Net sales amounted to $34.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999,
up 111% from net sales of $16.2 million for the three months ended March 31,
1998. The $18.0 million increase in sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1999
compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1998 was due primarily to the
contributions of brands acquired subsequent to March 31, 1998 in addition to
strong performance in the 


                                       16
<PAGE>   17
Company's exclusive hair care lines, ABBA and Framesi, and in the appliances and
sundries category. On a pro forma basis, assuming the 1998 acquisitions had
taken place on January 1, 1998, net sales increased by $5.8 million, or 20.3%,
to $34.3 million in the first quarter of 1999 from $28.5 million during the
first quarter of 1998.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales amounted to $14.8 million, or 43% as a percentage of net sales,
for the three months ended March 31, 1999, compared to $7.0 million, or 43% as a
percentage of net sales, for the three months ended March 31, 1998. As a result
of the foregoing, the Company realized gross profit for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 of $19.4 million, or 57% as a percentage of net sales, compared
to $9.2 million, or 57% as a percentage of net sales, during the corresponding
period in 1998. The Company's ability to sustain this favorable gross margin
percentage is attributable primarily to the acquisition of businesses that carry
similarly favorable gross margins and continued efforts by the Company to
leverage its substantial purchasing power with third party suppliers to obtain
optimum pricing.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $13.1 million, or 38% of net
sales, for the three months ended March 31, 1999, before recording
centralization and reengineering costs of approximately $660,000. Selling,
general, and administrative expenses including the centralization and
reengineering costs amounted to $13.8 million, or 40% of net sales, for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 compared with $5.4 million, or 33% of net
sales, for the three months ended March 31, 1998. Selling, general, and
administrative expenses increased on an absolute as well as a percentage basis
due primarily to acquisitions completed subsequent to March 31, 1998 and the
operating characteristics of those businesses acquired. Furthermore, additional
selling, marketing, and education costs were incurred to support the Company's
internal growth strategy.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 1999
amounted to $0.7 million, which represents an effective tax rate of
approximately 40%, compared with a provision of $1.1 million, which represents
an effective tax rate of approximately 43% for the three months ended March 31,
1998. Permanent differences between book and tax amounts decreased over the
twelve month period, resulting in the lower effective tax rate for the quarter
ended March 31, 1999.

Income from Operations and Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation &
Amortization (EBITDA)

Income from operations was $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31,
1999, compared to $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) was
$7.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999, an increase of $2.7
million, or 58.5%, over EBITDA of $4.6 million for the three months ended March
31, 1998. EBITDA is not intended to represent net cash provided by operating
activities as defined by generally accepted accounting principles and should not
be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of operating
performance or to net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of
liquidity. The Company believes EBITDA is a measure commonly reported and widely
used by analysts, investors, and other interested parties who monitor business
performance. Accordingly, 


                                       17
<PAGE>   18
the Company has disclosed this information to permit a more complete comparative
analysis of its operating performance.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's working capital position increased to $50.7 million at March 31,
1999 from $37.7 million at December 31, 1998. The increase of $13.0 million is
primarily due to an increased investment in accounts receivable and other
current assets as well as the Company's results of operations for the quarter
ended March 31, 1999.

During the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Company used $9.3 million of
cash in operating activities, which was primarily the result of increased
investment in accounts receivable of $10.0 million and offset by a decrease in
inventories of $2.3 million.

Capital expenditures for the period March 31, 1999 totaled approximately $1.1
million, primarily related to computer hardware and software costs in connection
with the Company's new centralized management and information systems.

As of March 31, 1999, the Company had borrowed approximately $24.0 million on
its revolving line of credit for working capital purposes including financing
the working capital requirements of its internal growth. In addition, the
borrowing was used to fund capital expenditures associated with the Company's
centralization and reengineering project, to repay debt created in conjunction
with the acquisition of Gena Laboratories, Inc. in November 1996, and to repay
debt assumed in the acquisition of Framesi USA. On March 30, 1999, the Company
added a $5.0 million overline facility maturing June 30, 1999 to its revolving
line of credit. As of March 31, 1999, there were no amounts outstanding on the
overline.

In May 1999, the Company received a commitment for a $90 million Senior Secured
Revolving Credit Facility from GE Capital Corporation. The new facility will be
used to repay amounts outstanding under the Company's current credit facility,
for future acquisitions, and for working capital purposes. The Company intends
to take an extraordinary, non-cash charge during the second quarter of
approximately $400,000 net of tax, or approximately $0.10 per diluted share,
related to the write-off of unamortized financing costs associated with the
current facility. The Company expects the new facility to close in June. The
closing of the new credit facility is subject to the execution of definitive
loan documents.

The Company intends to raise additional capital through debt and equity
financings to fund its continued growth. At this time, it is not possible to
assess the type of financings the Company will pursue or the terms or
availability of such financings. The inability to secure such financing on
acceptable terms could have an adverse effect on the Company's business,
strategy, operations, and financial position. In addition, it is possible that
such financing will further increase the Company's leverage.

The Company plans to drive internal growth through the expansion of
distribution, new products, product line extensions, and brand introductions.
The Company also plans to pursue strategic 


                                       18
<PAGE>   19
acquisitions to capitalize on the substantial fragmentation and growth potential
existing in the professional salon and personal care products industry. The
Company intends to fund its future capital needs through a combination of
current cash resources, expected cash flows from operations, bank financing,
seller notes payable, issuance of its Common Stock, and additional public or
private debt or equity financing. These capital resources may not be available,
and the availability of such capital will depend upon prevailing market
conditions, interest rates, and the financial condition of the Company.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

Many currently installed computer systems and software products are coded to
accept only two-digit entries in the date code field. Beginning in the year
2000, these date code fields will need to accept four-digit entries to
distinguish 21st century dates from 20th century dates. As a result, within the
next year, computer systems and software used by many companies may need to be
upgraded to comply with such "Year 2000" requirements. Significant uncertainty
exists concerning the potential effects associated with such compliance.

Company's State of Readiness

The Company has completed an assessment of its internal systems and processes
with respect to the "Year 2000" issue. The Company's sales, accounts receivable,
inventory management, accounts payable, general ledger and payroll systems
comprise its critical information technology ("IT") systems. The Company has
assessed its "Year 2000" readiness with regard to these critical IT systems.
Based on internal assessments and upon vendor representations, the Company
believes that its critical IT systems currently in place or being implemented as
part of the centralization and reengineering plan are or will be "Year 2000"
compliant. The Company believes that it will complete the implementation of its
new processes and systems associated with the critical IT systems by September
30, 1999. The Company intends to assess the potential impact of "Year 2000"
failures from vendors, customers, and outside parties upon its business and is
currently taking steps to assess and minimize the risk of such "Year 2000"
failures. Based upon the Company's current state of readiness and the steps
currently being taken, the Company does not believe that the "Year 2000" problem
will have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition, or results of operations.

Software and hardware, such as security and telephone systems, that facilitate
the operations of its warehouses and operating locations that are not affected
by the centralization and reengineering plan comprise the Company's primary
non-IT systems. The Company is in the process of assessing the "Year 2000"
compliance of these non-IT systems and expects to conclude this assessment by
June 30, 1999. The Company has not incurred, nor does it expect to incur,
material costs in readying its non-IT systems for the Year 2000.

Company's Risks of "Year 2000" Issues

The Company procures a significant amount of raw materials and components from
external suppliers and relies upon third party contract manufacturers to
manufacture most of its products. As a result, the Company may be at risk from
suppliers and manufacturers, foreign and domestic, that are not taking adequate
measures to ensure "Year 2000" compliance. The failure of such suppliers and
manufacturers to be "Year 2000" compliant may cause raw material and product
shortages that would adversely impact the Company's operations. As a result, the
Company may be at risk with respect to suppliers and 


                                       19
<PAGE>   20
manufacturers that may not be "Year 2000" compliant. The Company believes that
the most likely negative effects, if any, could include disruptions in both
shipments and receipts of raw materials, components, and products by the Company
and its customers. In addition, the Company's customers may experience "Year
2000" failures, which could result in delays in the Company's receipt of
payments from customers.

Contingency Plans

The Company is developing contingency plans with respect to significant "Year
2000" issues. For example, the Company is in the process of assessing and
verifying the "Year 2000" compliance of its international and domestic suppliers
and contract manufacturers. Verification will be accomplished through the use of
"Year 2000" readiness inquiries sent to key suppliers and manufacturers. The
Company is investigating transferring supplier and manufacturing relationships
to alternate providers if current suppliers and manufacturers are not "Year
2000" compliant.


ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Derivative Financial Instruments

At March 31, 1999, the Company did not participate in any derivative financial
instruments, or other financial and commodity instruments for which fair value
disclosure would be required under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 107. The Company holds no investment securities that would require
disclosure of market risk.

Primary Market Risk Exposures

The Company's primary market risk exposures are in the areas of interest rate
risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk. The Company incurs interest
expense on loans made under the Notes at an interest rate, which is fixed, for a
maximum of ten years. At March 31, 1999, the Company's outstanding borrowings on
the Notes were $100 million, at an interest rate of 10.875%. The Company also
incurs interest on loans made under a revolving line of credit and other debt
instruments at variable interest rates ranging from 6.0% to 8.5%. At March 31,
1999, the Company's total outstanding borrowings on the instruments were
approximately $55.0 million, including approximately $49.0 million outstanding
under the current credit facility and approximately $6.0 million of other debt
instruments. The Company has entered into an interest rate swap agreement and an
interest rate cap agreement to limit the effect of increases in the interest
rates on floating rate debt. The notional amounts of interest rate agreements
are used to measure interest to be paid or received and do not represent the
amount of exposure to credit loss. The net cash amounts paid or received on the
agreements are accrued and recognized as an adjustment to interest expense.

The interest rate swap agreement is a contract to exchange floating rate for
fixed payments periodically over the life of the agreement. During March 1998,
the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement, which effectively
fixed the interest rate on a $12.5 million notional principal amount under its
current credit facility at 5.75% plus a credit margin ranging from 150 to 250
basis points, for a period ending March 2000. During April 1998, the Company
entered into an interest rate cap agreement, which effectively limits the
Company's interest rate exposure on a $12.5 million notional principal amount


                                       20
<PAGE>   21
under its current credit facility at 7.50% plus a credit margin ranging from 250
to 300 basis points, for a period ending April 2000. The borrowings under the
current credit facility not subject to interest rate swap or interest rate cap
agreements at March 31, 1999 totaled $24.0 million.

Substantially all of the Company's business outside the United States is
conducted in U.S. dollar denominated transactions. The Company has a sales
division located in the United Kingdom. Some of the expenses of this foreign
subsidiary are denominated in the British pound sterling. These expenses include
local salaries and wages, utilities, and some operating supplies. However, the
Company believes that the operating expenses currently incurred in foreign
currency are immaterial, and therefore any associated market risk is unlikely to
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations,
or financial condition.

         promptly notify the Lenders, to terminate or reduce the Revolving
         Credit Commitment. Each partial termination shall be in an aggregate
         amount which is at least $1,000,000 and which is an integral multiple
         thereof, and no voluntary reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitment
         shall cause any LIBOR Advance to be repaid prior to the last day of its
         Interest Period unless the Borrower shall reimburse each Lender in
         accordance with Section 2.9 hereof. The Borrower shall have the right,
         upon not less than 5 Business Days' notice by an Authorized Signatory
         to the Administrative Agent (if telephonic, to be confirmed by telex or
         in writing on or before the date of reduction or termination), which
         shall promptly notify the Lenders, to terminate or reduce the Overline
         Commitment. Each partial termination shall be in an aggregate amount
         which is at least $1,000,000 and which is an integral multiple 

                                       6

         thereof, and no voluntary reduction in the Overline Commitment shall
         cause any  LIBOR Advance to be repaid prior to the last day of its
         Interest Period unless the Borrower shall reimburse each Lender in
         accordance with Section 2.9 hereof.

             (b) Mandatory Reduction. On the Revolving Commitment Maturity Date,
         the Revolving Credit Commitment shall be automatically reduced to zero.
         On the Term Loan Commitment Termination Date, the Term Loan Commitment
         shall be automatically reduced to zero. On the Overline Commitment
         Maturity Date, the Overline Commitment shall be automatically reduced
         to zero.

             (c) General Requirements. Upon any reduction of the Revolving
         Credit Commitment or the Overline Commitment pursuant to this Section,
         the Borrower shall immediately make a repayment of Revolving Credit
         Advances or Overline Advances, as appropriate, in accordance with
         Section 2.5(b) hereof. The Borrower shall reimburse each Lender in
         connection with any such payment in accordance with Section 2.9 hereof

         its Subsidiaries, including Acquisitions permitted hereunder, (b) the
         Overline Advances shall be used by the Borrower to finance the ongoing
         working capital and general corporate requirements of the Borrower and

         and (c) of the Term Loan Advances shall be used by the Borrower to
