Framar

Framar is a family-owned brand of professional hairdressing tools and accessories founded by Maria Gallo. Based in Niagara Falls, Canada, the company’s story began in the 1980s in the small hair salon owned by her husband, Frank. It was there that the inspiration for the brand’s first products was born.

Maria was the first person in Canada to develop aluminum foil specifically designed for hairdressers. This simple yet groundbreaking tool quickly became popular for hair coloring and highlighting services. Driven by a passion for high-quality, thoughtfully designed tools and practical solutions for everyday salon work, Framar grew from hand-packing orders into a successful global brand.

Today, Framar remains a family-owned business, led by Maria and her sons. The brand values close relationships with professionals around the world and actively engages with the hairstyling community, particularly through social media. This approach helps create products that are not only functional and durable, but also visually appealing and perfectly suited to salon work.

Framar products are now available in more than 70 countries worldwide and are a popular choice among creative hairstylists who appreciate the combination of practicality, quality, and distinctive design.
