About Us

Since 2007, Cosmetologists has been the trusted partner for New Zealand’s beauty professionals. As a 100% Kiwi-owned business, we’re passionate about bringing the world’s finest professional beauty brands to our shores while understanding the unique needs of the NZ market.

It started on the clinic floor…

In 2018, James, our director, was running a busy beauty clinic facing a common frustration: juggling 20 different suppliers with inconsistent quality and support. In 2018, he purchased Cosmetologists (an existing niche supplier), bringing on kick-ass brands like Berodin Wax & Tuel Skincare, enhancing old favourites such as Refectocil, while developing quality salon essentials without hefty price tags.

Fast forward to 2025

Seven years since James began, and seventeen years since original conception, we’ve grown our team and brand portfolio considerably. Our purpose remains. In the crowded beauty business, we still draw on real life experience. With a team of former salon owners and qualified therapists, we’ve walked in your shoes. We cut through the clutter, separating fixtures from fads, offering support and honest advice – because we’ve been there and done it.

Not just product

While a tad brazen, I’ll never forget a sales rep who once told me, “I don’t just flog wares”. So, for the want of a better catchphrase – we don’t flog wares, we don’t gate keep – we share our expertise alongside products we personally believe in.

– James, Director

What our customers have to say…

Cosmetologists is an incredible supplier. I love how friendly and involved they are. James is great at responding fast to emails and enquires, which makes life so easy. I have received a tuel training and dermal needling and found both very easy to book/arrange. They have created a comfortable space to do the trainings and it makes you feel part of there family. There stock is some of the best products I have used! I highly rate all of there products and absolutely love the wax and tan range. Orders are shipped out incredibly fast, I receive most the next day if ordered before a certain time, I have also found collection of products from there building very easy for clients too. These products are game changers! What an incredible team.

Absolutely cannot recommend Cosmetologists enough, every time I make contact with them I receive consistent, quality service. Pricing is more than reasonable and all team members are passionate , not only about the many products they supply but also in assisting my salon on up skilling with their training programs. Their extensive knowledge and skill are truly unmatched. Janet from JayC's Beauty.

I absolutely love cosmetologists! I just cant recommend them highly enough. Not only pro beauty supplies which are second to none but the on going support and mentoring. James has helped me navigate through many mazes over the last couple of years! They provide amazing training which I have been able to implement immediately in salon but also care for you afterwards with any issues you have.
