TOOLS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Great tool choice makes your life easier. You’re a busy barber and you need efficient, durable tools that get the job done

Clean fades, sharp cuts and perfect texture keep customers coming back –a formula that high profile barbers like Denman Ambassador, Alan Beak uses to build a thriving business. Denman makes the hair professional part of the design process for every tool they create, and the new Jack Dean by Denman range is created just for barbers.

Alan Beak of Ruger Barber, says: “Tools are essential when it comes to producing the right looks for your clients and making sure we are as efficient as possible, and enable us to use techniques that best suit the intended style of the hair.”

HERE’S ALAN’S FAVOURITES

“The Denman Fade Brush is perfect for keeping your fade area hair free as you work. In every shop and with every client, we are dealing with shadows and transition lines. Fading is a very visual process, so a clear fade area makes the work much easier and the finished result that much cleaner.”

“The Denman D3 is the first brush I used to dry hair. I love how much grip it has when used correctly which allows you to have full control of the hair when drying, and gives you the ability to manipulate the hair in many different ways.”

“The D25 Fantail happens to be my favourite comb. I love the separation that it creates in the hair and it allows you to see different depths and textures through the hair. It’s also great for detailing when styling. I always finish off my styling with hairspray to set the hair and using the D25 is perfect for organising the hair into the position I want it.”
