According to Sally Beauty, it’s looking into unusual payment activities on cards used at some of its stores in the United States. The company hopes to discover how large the possible breach may have been. It won’t know the exact scope until the investigation is completed.

Sally Beauty’s investigation includes help from law enforcement, a credit card processor and a third-party forensics expert. Customers that are worried about the status of their credit or debit cards can call the company’s hotline at 1-866-234-9442 to check on them.

This isn’t Sally Beauty’s first data breach. The company also suffered one early last year. This breach saw less than 25,000 credit or debit cards affected.

SBH shares were down 1% as of Monday afternoon.
