Zamzam Health & Beauty Supply

A beauty supply store on Broadway caters to hair, skin, and nail needs across multiple boroughs. The shelves here lean toward oils, pomades, and shea butters, while shelves in the back stock hard-to-find polishes and applicators. Makeup lovers gravitate to the midtown shelves for setting sprays and lash glues, and cosmetology students often swap tips over which combs and brushes to buy. A rotating corner keeps trendy items rotating in—think illuminating primers and edge-control gels—so regulars usually drop by at least once a season to refresh their stash. Across from the Port Authority bus terminal, Zamzam Health & Beauty Supply sits at 420 W 42nd Street, New York, NY 10030. Call 212-564-2300 before heading over; the sidewalk traffic can leave the block briefly spilling onto the curb. Once inside, clerks usually point newcomers toward the color-matching station by the front windows. To skip circling the block for parking, grab directions at maps and take the shortcut past the post office.
