Spornette has been successful in the professional salon industry for over 60 years and is world famous for the hairbrushes it manufactures. Spornette International, founded by Walter Sporn, was originally called The Walter Sporn Company in the early 1950s.

Walter’s claim to fame is the nylon brush with a plastic handle. Meeting an engineer who made eyeliner and lip brushes for a major cosmetics company, Walter convinced him to help design a long-lasting, professional hairbrush that women could use at home. The engineer took Walters’ idea and carried it out. At first, the Walter Sporn Company featured two items, the 5-row and the 7-row, which were nondescript brushes with plastic handles and nylon bristles. This product was launched to professional beauty product distributors, which sold out immediately. Today, the process used to make Spornette hairbrushes is the industry standard.

Walter visited Europe several times in the late 1950s, inspiring another hairbrush revolution. He returned from abroad with items used to develop what would become very popular hairbrushes with stylists across the United States. Cushion brushes and round nylon brushes, once sold individually, were suddenly selling by the dozen in eye-catching displays designed by Walter. This new marketing effort propelled sales from twos and a few to literally thousands, practically overnight.

In the early 1970s, the Walters company officially adopted the name Spornette International, Inc. When his son began to take over day-to-day operations, Walter slowly stepped into the background to give his son a chance to shine. In 1985, Alan Sporn purchased the company directly from his parents. In 1994 Alan’s daughter Laurie joined the family business and in early 2000 his brother Jeffery joined the team. The Sporn name continues to be recognized around the world by beauty experts, catwalk models and consumers alike. This well-established third-generation company looks forward to the future and insists that it will keep the Spornette tradition alive by making hairbrushes that encourage users to feel happy and beautiful.

Spornette not only offers the world’s best hairbrushes, but also showcases incredible styling tools backed by over 40 years of research. Truly, Spornette has brought hairbrush design down to a science. They make each of their brushes with the idea that certain brushes go better with certain hair. A quick and easy quiz helps shoppers find the brush that will work best for their hair.

Spornette has identified several classifications of brushes. The Porcupine family, for example, is just one of many groups of brushes on offer to help you create your ideal hairstyle. This styling brush set features a perfect balance of boar and nylon bristles. The white nylon bristles can penetrate deep into any hair texture and are especially helpful in detangling damp hair. Black boar bristles hold hair in place for excellent styling results. These types of brushes are also essential in the even distribution of the hair’s natural oils. There are five sizes of round brushes in this family to create any desired look, used by women of all hair colors and textures.

Spornette, while famous for its hairbrushes, also offers a variety of other beauty products, including Marche makeup brushes. These are used for the application of eye shadows, face powders, blushes, highlighters, brushes and eyeliners. They also display ion combs and ceramic heat rollers, as well as round brushes, ceramic brushes and paddle brushes. Every brush made by Spornette comes with the company’s personal guarantee, available at prices designed to fit any budget.
