  • Who or what is an OVID?
    OVID isn’t just a name—it’s a statement of rebellion, artistry, and transformation. We take inspiration from Publius Ovidius Naso, better known as Ovid, the ancient Roman poet who defied an empire. While Augustus, the ruler of Rome, enforced strict control over society, Ovid wrote about transformation, beauty, and self-expression—ideas that challenged the rigid norms of his time. His masterpiece, Metamorphoses, explored how beauty is ever-changing, deeply personal, and uniquely experienced by each individual. That same spirit of defiance, creativity, and reinvention drives OVID® today. We reject the corporate-controlled beauty industry that dictates trends, limits artistry, and prioritizes mass-market sales over professionals. We believe beauty is personal—it’s about how you feel, not what the industry tells you to believe. For us, beauty is power, transformation, and self-expression. Every stylist, every salon, and every client defines beauty in their own way. And OVID exists to give professionals the tools to create that transformation, on their terms.
  • What is OVID, and how did it start?
    OVID was born out of frustration with the beauty industry’s status quo. For too long, big brands ignored salon professionals, selling tools to consumers while shutting out the very people who built this industry. Our founder, Joe, spent over 30 years as a hairdresser, salon owner, educator, and product design consultant for some of the world’s biggest brands. He saw firsthand how professional stylists were being pushed aside in favor of mass-market sales. Meanwhile, Robert, as the owner and CEO of one of Detroit’s most successful tier 1 automotive groups, understood how precision engineering and innovation could transform an industry. Together, they built OVID—the first truly salon professional-only hair tool company. Their mission? To create high-performance tools that serve stylists, protect salon retail, and set a new standard for what professional hair tools should be. No compromises. No big-box retailers. Just world-class tools designed for the best hands in hair.
  • Who does OVID serve?
    OVID is for salon professionals, period. Whether you’re a salon owner looking to reclaim retail revenue or a stylist who demands tools that actually perform, we’re here for you. No mass-market gimmicks, no big-box discounts—just luxury tools built exclusively for the best hands in hair.
  • Why did OVID decide to go against big-box retailers?
    Because salons should be the authority—not an afterthought. The industry’s biggest brands chose mass distribution over salon loyalty, flooding Amazon and retail stores with tools that undercut professionals. We refuse to play that game. Our tools are salon-exclusive—meaning your clients won’t find them at a discount online. Your expertise stays valued, and your margins stay protected.
  • What does OVID see as the future of professional hair tools?
    The future belongs to us, the professionals and we take back control. We see a world where salon owners and stylists dictate the trends, set the standard, and own their retail game. With continuous innovation in hair tool design, exclusive pricing strategies, and elite professional partnerships, OVID is committed to ensuring that future belongs to you, not the big-box retailers.
  • How is OVID different from other “professional” hair tool brands?
    Simple. We’re actually for professionals. Most brands slap a “pro” label on their tools while selling the same watered-down versions to consumers. OVID doesn’t cut corners. Every tool is salon-tested, high-performance, and built to last. Plus, with true wholesale pricing, direct support, and no retail undercutting, we make sure professionals actually win.
  • What makes OVID® tools different from other professional hair tools?

  • What kind of materials and technology are used in OVID® tools?

  • Are OVID® tools designed for high-volume salon use?
