OUR HERITAGE

Kent Brushes was established in the reign of George III, in 1777. We have upheld our commitment to producing quality hair, shaving and personal care brushes for almost 250 years and are renowned for being one of the finest hairbrush manufacturers in the world. We are one of the oldest independent British companies trading today and have held our Royal Warrant for hairbrushes for nine consecutive Sovereign reigns.

A LEGACY OF SERVICE

Kent Brushes was heavily involved in both World Wars,
equipping millions of brushes for troops in the Army, Navy, and RAF. From hair, tooth, shaving, cloth, shoe and button brushes to custom brushes used for cleaning the fuselage of aeroplanes and the barrels of anti-tank guns. We were even elected to create a top-secret brush in which maps and compasses were concealed to help the war effort.

OUR COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE

Our philosophy runs far deeper than just creating a great brush. Our intention has always been to create the world’s finest products and to be pioneers, innovators and leaders within our industry, and we continue to uphold this commitment today. We are extremely proud of our British manufacturing heritage and wish to maintain our legacy through an unparalleled commitment to customer service and quality control. Craftmanship, integrity and tradition are at the heart of everything we do, and it is our duty to uphold these principles today.

QUALITY & CRAFTMANSHIP

Today, we continue to offer an extensive choice of products, with brushes ranging from hair, body, clothes, makeup, teeth and shaving. We are proud to manufacture many of these from our UK factory, situated just a stone's throw from London. We distribute to more than 50 countries worldwide, including the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan, Europe, and the Middle East. Our brushes are sold in some of the most established department stores, salons, and chemists.

THE FINEST MATERIALS

It is integral that the raw materials used to make our brushes are, quite simply, the best. Our bristle is sourced from the most respected bristle merchants in India and China, where quality is guaranteed. Our timbers are chosen from sustainable forests throughout the world, selected for their beauty, grain, colour, and suitability to be shaped, drilled and polished. Our Pure Flow range is made from wood sourced from FSC™ certified forests and is sold in fully recyclable packaging. Rubber cushions are selected for softness and strength, comfortable for delicate scalps but strong enough to be durable and withstand years of use. Our plastic quills and combs have soft rounded ends to tease their way through tangled hair gently, protecting the hair and scalp from unnecessary damage.

FIND A KENT FOR YOU

Aside from our rich heritage, Kent Brushes is renowned for our range of hairbrushes, which cater to any hair type, length, style, and budget. From styling brushes to radials, ceramics, vents, paddles, volumizing brushes, and, of course, pure bristle, our collection of award-winning hairbrushes is the perfect choice for both salon and retail use.
