Bay Beauty Supply

Out on the Staten Island waterfront, just inland from the piers, you’ll find Bay Beauty Supply tucked among the brick walk-ups and industrial storefronts. It keeps the shelves stocked for anyone running—or dreaming of—a cosmetics or body-care side gig, the micro-retailers who steer clear of big-box traffic. Here, bulk makeup, hair-care essentials, and fragrance oils sit shelf-to-shelf ready for resale, swatch cards taped to the crates. Across the street from the ferry terminal entrance, Bay Beauty Supply sits at 202 Bay St, Staten Island, NY 10301, inside a low-slung two-storey with a green awning over the mailbox alcove. Neighbors pop in on lunch breaks, wheeling small carts from nearby takeaways or the fruit stand a block south. The pavement and curb stay dry even when bay gusts drive a little rain sideways. Need to place a bulk order or check stock? Dial (718) 720-5414 and the line rings to the back counter; no automated prompts, just a second ring and a quick pickup. Remind the staff if you’re building displays under a single brand line, or if you’re comparing three suppliers on pallet depth; they relay the choices without fanfare. Head that way without a second thought—the map is always one tap away: directions.
