Almost a Century of expertise has resulted in a salon proposition that goes beyond everything that meets the eye. When it comes to aesthetics, we have perfected the art of timeless style. Many of our chair and equipment designs have spanned the decades to remain contemporary despite ever-changing interior design trends and styles. 

A world-class reputation

We have earned a reputation for world-class equipment that is stress-tested to ensure stringent quality standards are met. We are uncompromising when it comes to quality, as a global business with 100 offices worldwide, our reputation for unrivalled manufacturing quality, product performance and durability are values we uphold in every product. We are also revered for the application of world-leading technology, and this differentiates us from other equipment manufacturers.”

 Transcending fashion is no easy feat. We formed in Japan in 1921, and our many products have changed very little visually. The Adria II styling chair, for example, was created in 1971 and remains our most popular hairdressing chair, whilst advances in technology and manufacturing have yielded subtle changes that enhance its appeal without tampering with the features that brought it global success. 

 The process of innovation

With the launch of our first ever barber char in 1940, the no. 130 marked the beginning of an era we became a global success and a must have for the heart of every interior. Dominating the industry, 2011 marked a year for innovation with the introduction of add on services that provided an almost seamless segue into the world of luxury and VIP treatments. Peerless when it comes to the application of motorised technology, the Rollerball F processor brought groundbreaking colour processing innovation to the world of hairdressing. Using infrared technology to power its distinctive rotating ring, Rollerball F reinvented colour processing time and intensifying colour results. 

Following a successful year, we are gearing up for Barber Connect next month, showcasing a selection of our barbering legends, offering interiors advice, inspiration and exclusive show only offers, as well as hosting barbering demonstrations throughout the two day exhibition. 

As Europe’s largest dedicated barber exhibition, Barber Connect will see thousands of professionals travel to the event at The International Centre in Telford, on the 3rd and 4th of June. Joining us over the weekend will be a collection of our traditional barbering classics including the Apollo 2 family, Dainty and Legacy 95 chairs, as well as the Aubrey and Dover barbering stations. Barbers will have the opportunity to discover our latest innovations and watch live demonstrations from world class barbers in our workshop area. 

Come and visit us on stand P3 and experience our products first hand. We hope to see you there!
