Ever seen the inside of Frends?

We are OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, and you do not have to be a professional to shop here. So come on by!

So then she talked me into getting a facial…

…lol, whuuut?

Gloria, our Dermalogica rep just came through and talked us into getting facials. And by us, I mean, the guys. We’re not going to lie…the guys here at Frends Beauty Supply are pretty much a ragtag group of dudes who do things like jump out of airplanes, rappel off of buildings, skateboard, snowboard, run through canyons, race cars and motorcycles, etc. We’re not the first group of guys you’d think of who get facials.

But, we also can’t say no to a lady. So…me (Matt) and at least one other victim guy here are going to get facials courtesy of Dermalogica. And to make it funny, we’ll photo-document the whole process and blog about it so our embarrassment, for the good of our clients, can live on for eternity in cyberspace. We’ve been told that it is something men should consider doing but the “I’m too manly for this” attitude prevails all to often. That said, I am too manly to do this, but I’m so manly that I’m not afraid to do it…so apparently, I will.

Touche’…

PS: I wish someone warned me to put Google image search on Strict safety before googling ‘man facial’ for an image to use in this blog. =(

ALL NEW Frends Beauty Supply website is coming…

We’ve hired one of the world’s BEST programmers and web designers (see below) to completely rebuild the Frends Beauty Supply website from the ground up.

The new site will be like no other beauty shopping website you have experienced. Unlike others, we’re not taking a cookie cutter template and making a few aesthetic changes so we can call it our own, and presenting it to you. There will be no copying of competitors websites with barely as much as a logo change. No.

The site, from the ground up, will be built completely custom. This affords us the ability to customize the functionality and create a new destination for beauty buyers unlike any other. It will offer a feature rich, yet simple buying experience where peer reviews will be prevalent among all products so you can be sure that what you are buying, is a great product! We have so many ideas of features that we want to include and we would LOVE to hear your opinions!

Tell us…what are some things you LOVE and HATE when shopping on websites? What are some features that make your buying experience fun and easy? What would you love to see more of, or less of? Tell us here, on our Facebook page, or email us! Our main goal is to create the best shopping experience for you!

Coming Soon: SALE!

Ok so we’ve been seeding Facebook and Twitter this past week with information on a sale that we’re going to have in May. We’re not yet ready to release all of the information, but here are a few more goodies for you…

  • This will mainly be an IN STORE sale, so you have to come in if you want to save BIG!
  • The sale will take place over THREE consecutive days.
  • This sale will also include some FX supplies which are typically harder to put on sale due to already low margins.
  • The sale will coincide with a major beauty industry event.
  • For those who cannot make it in store, some products will be available on one of our websites at the same discounted prices as in store.

Stand by patiently for more in the coming days!
