Our story
A solution to a problem, a mission for change
It started with a problem
Joe was the lead singer and guitarist in a touring rock band for about 5 years and every time he’d play a show, he would start to sweat and then his eyes would begin to sting really badly…
Turns out, it was actually his hair wax that was causing the problem. As he would sweat, the product would melt and get into his eyes and make them sting. He realised this was exactly the same thing that happened whenever he’d go to the gym or play sport.
A search for better
Joe tried loads of different products, trying to find a solution and he just couldn’t find something that solved his problem. He has sensitive skin too, so most products would give him an itchy scalp and would leave his hair in such a bad condition that he just wouldn’t want to put anything in it.
It was really hard to find something that he could feel good about buying. So, he decided to make his own.
The mission
Joe’s mission was to create natural hair styling products that actually worked. Hair waxes that improved the condition of his hair and scalp, solved his problem of stinging eyes and were made using sustainable, clean ingredients. Oh and no plastic either!
Prototype after prototype
He created dozens and dozens of prototypes in his kitchen and would try out his creations with local barbers and friends to get their feedback and tweak his recipes. Joe ended up making something that worked so well that people kept asking him for it.
So, he found a manufacturer in the UK and they decided to help him to develop the formulas further. After a year and a half of tweaking and development, Joe launched the Natural Barber Co. in April 2019.
