A note from Maria...

We'd like you to meet our mama - Maria. Maria is the President and Founder of Framar, embodying the heart and soul of our brand. She created Framar out of the back of her husband Frank's salon in 1986, becoming the first in Canada to produce foil made specifically for hair stylists. From sales meetings to packing orders by hand, she's done it all. Four sons and 40 years later, Maria remains our fearless leader and the matriarch of our company.

Our business dates back to 1978, where Frank did Maria's hair for the first time in his small, eight chair salon. Little did she know it was love at first trim; she had met her future husband and partner in crime. That chance meeting has blossomed into the solid foundation that Framar was built upon, propelling this little start-up from Niagara Falls, Canada into a global business serving passionate stylists in over 80 countries worldwide.

With Maria still at the helm, her sons Giovanni, Francesco, and Roberto are the driving force bringing Framar to stylists worldwide.

The next generation of Framar is obsessed with social media and the strong connections made with every interaction. Stylists are creators and being linked to them in this way allows our team to develop products that stylists can be proud to use behind their chair.
