History

You might walk out with Fred Face (an eponymous line of cosmetics, that is), a fresh cut or colour... or perhaps a couch."
- March, 2014
- Connors announces that he's expanding the business into Manhattan's Lower East Side. "My plan is to grow into a larger market in a smaller way, while maintaining our original concept here in the north end,” he said.
- August 21, 2025
