Top 5 Round Hair Brush Manufacturers for the Global Market in 2026
Of all the tools you use on hair in the salon and at home, the round hair brush is probably one of the most used. Hot air brushes have taken up room on the shelves and stands of salons and the bathroom, but the old classic round brush is still used on the majority of hair lengths that are dried with a blow dryer in the salons and in the homes of the world.
The challenges sourcing round brushes at scale for a B2B buyer are not complex. Rather, it is understanding the suppliers’ capabilities related to managing customized products and their ability to meet delivery expectations. The following list represent 5 suppliers with whom the buyers may want to start their sourcing efforts.
For a broader comparison beyond round-brush specialists, see our guide to the top hair brush manufacturers of 2026.
Top 5 Round Hair Brush Manufacturers
1. Mackay Hair Tools
Location: GuangZhou, China | Founded: 2014
Mackay Hair Tools was established in 2014, drawing on 18 years of hair brush manufacturing experience, with round brushes as its core product line. Our round brush barrel diameter ranges from 19mm to 80mm, using bristles made of boar, mixed material and heat-resistant nylon — PA66 rated to 220°C and PA46 to 285°C for sustained blow-dryer heat. Ceramic and tourmaline coatings are applied to most of the products to suit various needs of different product levels. Our handle materials also vary from beechwood, aluminum and thermoplastic rubber.
Mackay provides OEM and ODM services — barrel coatings, private label packaging and flexible MOQs — so that our B2B customers are able to very quickly bring to market their own ranges of products. We can customise the colour of the barrel as well as the shape of the handle and design of the packaging to fit the customer's needs for both retail and bulk orders. Our MOQ is 300 pieces per style for stock designs using existing moulds, and 500 pieces for custom OEM/ODM, with a standard production lead time of 30–45 days.
Our clientele encompasses various professional salon brands, specialty beauty retailers, and white-label distributors that are located throughout North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific — 800+ brands across 90+ countries. We hold ISO 9001, BSCI, CE, RoHS, GCC, FSC, SGS and PSE certifications, all current and verifiable by certificate number, and can provide the material testing documentation required by your target market.
Full customization options — barrel coatings, bristle configurations, handle materials and retail packaging — are set out in our OEM and ODM services. Buyers sourcing under their own brand can review programme structure and lead times on our private label page.

2. Tong Fong Brush
Location: Taiwan, China | Founded: 1950
With 75 years of experience in the brush industry, Tong Fong brings unparalleled expertise and insight to the table. Having supplied the world's leading salon brands with top quality tools, the firm's round brush range in ceramic, ionic and mixed bristle variations stands testament to thorough product R&D.
From a B2B perspective, they emphasize long-term co-development partnerships. Rather than simply fulfilling specs, they partner with brand clients on new barrel constructions and material choices — down to tooling decisions and coating recommendations. For buyers who want a supplier that contributes technically, that matters.

3. Creative Pro Hair Tools
Location: New York, USA | Founded: 1990
An American family-owned brand launched by Jacob Guttman's family business, Creative Pro has been marketing products to the professional salon channel for over 30 years. They focus a full line of round brushes on ceramic ionic technology, with a few proprietary designs that solve particular styling challenges rather than just being a rehash of the typical round brush shape — such as the Pro-Triangle brush.
Their products are carried through SalonCentric and have ended up at retail stores such as Anthropologie, which is quite a testament to the breadth of their reach into consumer markets while still remaining in the profession. For salons carrying a variety of different brands, Creative Pro brings a piece of traditional American salon roots to the front of the store.

4. Olivia Garden
Location: Belgium | Founded: 1968
Olivia Garden is a salon brand familiar to almost every hairstylist. Their Ceramic + Ion round brush line has been imitated time and again because the barrel of the brush holds heat superbly and the contoured handle makes the brush very easy to hold.
For the B2B buyer, Olivia Garden is more of a brand through which to distribute products rather than a manufacturing factory from which to purchase them. Varying terms and conditions exist globally, but carrying products from this brand helps to increase credibility with salons and professional beauty retailers.

5. Fromm International
Location: Illinois, USA | Founded: 1916
Fromm offers a complete assortment of round brushes from economy to professional salon models, distributed through beauty supply houses and professional distributors across the US and Canada.
If you're a North American distributor looking to round out your product portfolio, Fromm provides consistent quality, stable pricing and a recognisable brand name that buying teams know and respect. They are not the answer if you're looking for private label products to differentiate your offerings but for established, popular products that can sit proudly on your shop shelves, they are an excellent option.

A Few Trends Worth Watching
Sustainability is now emerging as a buyer specification in the EU, and manufacturers are seeing more regular specifications for items such as, sustainably sourced handles made from bamboo, sustainably sourced boar bristles, and recyclable packing materials. Where specifications are met and supported with relevant documentation, the orders are being placed.
The at-home blowout phenomenon is driving demand for consumer-grade shampoos, conditioners and styling tools. The proliferation of YouTube styling videos has educated the public about new techniques and made them feel more competent and comfortable styling their own hair. As such, the amount consumers are willing to pay for a good round brush has moved up significantly.
Heat tolerance is showing up more often in spec conversations. Buyers increasingly ask which bristle material holds up under sustained blow-dryer heat — PA66 is rated to 220°C and PA46 to 285°C — and how barrel weight affects styling fatigue over a full salon day.
Mackay Hair Tools manufactures round brushes and styling tools on an OEM, ODM and private label basis for salons, brands and distributors in 90+ countries, from our own facility in Guangzhou. If you are shortlisting suppliers from this list, you can compare our published volume tiers and commercial terms before you request quotes.
