FROMM

About FROMM

FROMM is a family owned professional tool company founded in 1907 and headquartered in Mt. Prospect, Illinois. The company operates under Fromm International. What started with a single handmade razor strop produced in Chicago has grown into a full line of professional tools for stylists and barbers. FROMM has been in continuous operation for over a century.

Heritage

FROMM’s 1907 founding makes it one of the oldest brands in the American professional hair tool space. The company began as a craftsmanship focused operation in Chicago and has stayed family owned through multiple generations. That kind of longevity in the beauty tool industry is uncommon.

Product Range

FROMM produces cutting scissors, thinning scissors, left-handed scissors, and accessories. Their scissor specialties cover blunt cut, slide cut, point cut, volume control, texture control, thinning, and texturizing techniques. They also offer combination cut and thinning models.

Beyond scissors, FROMM is known for a broader catalog of salon tools. The company positions its full product line as a curated selection for working stylists across all experience levels.

Market Positioning

FROMM sits in the mid range price tier. The brand is carried by retailers including Williamsport Bowman and Chris & Sons. Being based in Illinois gives FROMM a logistical advantage for American stylists in terms of shipping and customer service.

The company actively seeks stylist feedback on its products and maintains a social media presence (@frommpro). For stylists who want an American heritage brand with a broad tool catalog, FROMM is a practical choice that has been around longer than most competitors.
