About BarberBoss

BarberBoss is a British challenger brand in personal care, founded in 2020. We design "affordable premium" products across grooming, oral care and hair‑styling for men, women and pets, and sell in 10 European countries (including the UK).

We're also the Official Sleeve Sponsor & Shaving Partner of West Bromwich Albion, now in our third consecutive season. Within 5 years of established we have won awards from prestigious Pure Beauty Award, Women& Home, named as The 2025 Consumer Sector Cross-Border Leader" Award in the Frost & Sullivan Consumer Sector Series Selection presented by Forbes China, recognised as The Times' Regional Rising Stars, independently featured on GQ UK, GQ Germany, The Telegraph, Women's Own etc,
