Question 1

What’s up with the name “OVID?”

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

How and why did OVID start?

Accepted Answer

OVID was born out of frustration. After decades of watching big brands ignore the professionals who built this industry, we decided to do things differently. Our founders brought salon experience and precision engineering together to build the first stylist-only tool company—no big-box store pandering, no compromises. Just world-class tools built by people who know what it means to stand behind the chair.

Question 3

Who does OVID serve?

Accepted Answer

We serve the global community of licensed professional hair stylists—and the salons they call home.

If you’re a licensed stylist, you’re our priority. Everything we build is designed around your hands, your workflow, and your standards.

And if you run a salon? We’ve got your back too. Because when your team wins, your business thrives.

OVID isn’t here for the, big-box stores and online behemoths enriching themselves with beauty gimmicks.

We’re here for the professionals who move this industry forward—one client, one cut, one style at a time.
The best hands in hair deserve the best tools in the world and that’s who we serve.

Question 4

Why did OVID decide to exclusively serve professionals?

Accepted Answer

Because stylists deserve better. 
Big brands chose mass-market sales over loyalty to the professionals who built this industry. They flooded Amazon, ignored your expertise, and left you with no business model.

We built OVID to flip that script.

Our tools are salon-exclusive, and our pricing protects your margins. You've earned your seat at the table—we’re just making sure it’s finally set.
