Our Story
Frends Beauty Supply was
founded in 1940 by the original owner Sig Frends. Sig was a pioneer in the cosmetic
industry. He recognized the fact that
Hollywood had a high demand for wholesale beauty supply, including film quality
make up, hair, and special FX make up.
Frends’ goal then, as it remains today, is to supply the entertainment
industry with a wide range of high quality products, giving make up and hair
stylists all the necessary tools to complete any job. Today, the store is stocked with over 24,000
different professional beauty supply products ranging from wig
making supplies to special FX make up to skin care and everything in between. It really is the only true in house “one stop
shop” for professional make up artists and hair stylists. Frends staff is dedicated to making the lives
of their customers more convenient. We
go “the extra mile” to make sure that a particular artist/stylist has the exact
products they are looking for with ample time before their job. Our philosophy is: “the customer means
everything to our business,” and that is how we go about treating our
customers. The following are some
testimonials from some of our treasured customers:
Acknowledgements
“Frends has always been the most reliable cosmetic supplier I have ever worked with. They get whatever I need, whether they carry it in the store or not, and they get it to me on time, every time. When you deal with as many actors as we do, Frends makes the job easier because they give you one less thing to worry about.”

“Our show films in
Hawaii, so communication with my suppliers is very important to ensure that I have what I need, when I need it. Frends has always communicated with me efficiently and answered any questions I might have; so when my cosmetic orders arrive, they are exactly what I ordered. The guys there really listen and are easy to deal with.”

"There are so many things in my days at work to think about and attend too. It's nice to just have a company that I can give my "wish list" to and not worry about it once I handed it off to them. I simply give Frends my list of what I need per episode, and they some how have it delivered to me by the time I need it. Even if they don't stock it, or never have even heard of it, I know they will have it to me on time. They don't send me something in place of what they didn't have or couldn't find. If they can't get it, they'll call me and let me know. I trust them every episode. And I don't know how, but they can find anything my actors ask for, no matter where it comes from. They are very trust worthy and reliable."
-Tracey Anderson

"I love Frends because they are the best! Couldn't be more efficient. Especially in panic situations. They'll come by multiple times a day if we need them. And they bring us goodies! Great family business.

-Kat Lippay
Fringe: Dept. Head Hair
I love their customer service! They make me feel special. They take their time to give me the personal customer service... Which is important when shopping for Makeup... as you need to talk about what will work for the look or effect you're trying to achieve. They are knowledgable about their products which is very helpful, especially in a time crunch.

I've been dealing with Frends "forever". They are a pleasure to work with. They are very personable, friendly, and professional. They always get me what I need, and they do it within the time I need it. They also get my orders right from the start, which is ahuge factor. Everything I need, I know that with one phone call to Frends, I will have it on time and exactly the way I expected to receive it. They're awesome!

Frends always gets the order right the first time around. They get me everything I need by within the time I need it. They never say "No, we can't get you that". They always get me everything I ask for on my list that I need for work. They are polite and very helpful.

Frends has great customer service. The have so many products available at your finger tips to help accomplish any job. They are very efficient, knowledgeable, and helpful. They take care of everything I need and do it right the first time around.
-Marianna Elias
House: Dept. Head Makeup
Frends ships packages out to us in Canada by the next day we place the order with them. That's great for us since sometimes we can't even get our sources out here locally to get us this stuff that fast! They came all the way out here in Winnipeg to meet us, which shows loyalty, and committment. We trust the name since it's been around since 1940. They'll even get me things they don't carry just to make it more convenient for me. They get me everything I need quickly, and the order is always correct. They also network me for things they don't deal with such as specialty artists/copanies that specialize certain applications such as "Tattoos".
