Manic Panic

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Manic Panic is a store chain based in New York City. The company is run by sisters Tish and Snooky Bellomo, early backup singers for the band Blondie.

[edit] History

Manic Panic opened its doors for the first time in 1977, with a store in New York. Since then, the store has opened establishments in many other places, including Japan. Apart from store operations, the Manic Panic company has also gone into the hair dye manufacturing industry, becoming one of the leaders in that area.

In 2004, MTV mentioned Manic Panic in a television documentary, crediting them for beginning what would become a trend of men and women wearing different hair colors in the 1990s into the 2000s.

[edit] Products

Apart from hair dye, Manic Panic sells many other products geared towards punk and gothic consumers. These include nail polish, vegan boas, eyelashes, foundation, eyeshadow, t-shirts, baseball caps, and others. All of their products are vegan, containing synthetics instead of animal ingredients.
