Our Heritage Kent Brushes was founded in 1777. Since that time, we’ve come to be known as one of the finest hairbrush manufacturers in the world. We’re one of the oldest British companies trading today, too, and as a Royal Warrant Holder for hairbrushes, we’ve supplied Royal households for nine consecutive Sovereign reigns. We have been involved in both World Wars, equipping millions of brushes to troops in the Army, Navy and RAF, even creating special brushes in which maps and compasses were concealed to help the war effort.

What We Do Kent’s philosophy runs far deeper than just creating a great brush. We are extremely proud of our British manufacturing heritage and wish to maintain our spectacular reputation through our dedication to exceeding all customer expectations and by continuing our devoted commitment to each and every customer. Kent Brushes are amongst the very few hairbrush manufacturers left in the UK. Although we experience continual pressure from cheaper foreign imports branded with ‘designer’ labels sold at extortionate prices, we will never settle to selling a lesser product at a high price point. We only produce world class products – without compromise. Material We are renowned for our passion for bristle brushes. The bristle is sourced from the finest bristle merchants in India and China, where quality is guaranteed. (Read our Bristle advice) Timbers are chosen from sustainable forests throughout the world, selected for their beauty, grain, colour and suitability to be shaped, drilled and polished. Rubber cushions are selected for softness and strength, comfortable for delicate scalps but strong enough to be durable and withstand years of use. Plastic quills have carefully rounded ends to tease their way through tangled hair without pulling or tugging. The Brush Shop Due to COVID-19 our retail shop is currently closed. We do hope to open back up soon. If you need brush advice or have a question, please give us a call.
