With over 1200 stores in the U.S., the reach of CosmoProf/Armstrong McCall runs from coast to coast, allowing stylists easy accessibility to Framar products that were previously available online, primarily.
"CosmoProf and Armstrong McCall are passionate about providing beauty professionals the best tools for them to use to create their artistic vision," Stacy Gaspard, vice president-BSG Merchandising says. "Expanding our partnership with Framar into the US aligns perfectly with that objective and we are very excited about the opportunity."

“Framar started as a vision from a colorist, but without the support of the industry and the community we would not be here today," Francesco Gallo, Framar marketing director says. "We would like to thank every stylist who has supported and promoted Framar, helping us get to this point. The community is everything to us.".
