With a plethora of goods and barbershops in the grooming market, it’s tough to weed out the sub-par from the greats. A good place to start is to find which companies are passionate, transparent, and hold their craft and products to a high-standard of excellence. Barber & Co. does just that with their intimate social club atmosphere, Academy program, and handmade, natural products.
These natural moisturizing ingredients, such as Bergamot Orange and Jojoba among others, are designed to keep your face feeling and looking healthy. Traditional skincare products are crafted with detrimental chemicals and synthetic ingredients that can deplete your skin of moisture and damage future hair growth.
If you live in Vancouver or are visiting and need a fresh cut, make sure you stop by one of their five locations throughout the city. Each shop boasts an eclectic environment with talented barbers, along with their skin and hair products. Barber & Co. is also opening a new shop in Toronto.
