Fellow Barber is committed to offering a hassle-free, high quality experience, without the pretensions of a salon. Often credited for the revival of time-honored barbershop traditions, Fellow Barber's expertly trained barbers provide classic men’s cuts and straight-razor shaves to a discerning clientele. Founder Sam Buffa was born in Kings Mountain, CA, where he spent his formative years racing motorcycles. At 17, Buffa became the youngest person on the U.S. off-road team. The idea of opening a classic barbershop occurred to him while competing abroad. “The barbershop was where men would discuss sports, politics, and culture while getting a haircut or shave,” Buffa recalls. “And we want each of our locations to represent that same kind of engaging atmosphere.” Founded in 2006 in the Lower East Side of New York, Fellow Barber now has shops in New York and San Francisco and an award-winning line of men's grooming products.

Grooming Lounge is the premiere source for men's luxury grooming goods and services. We provide these solutions via our best-in-class website, iconic Barbershops & Men's Spa locations (in D.C. and Northern Virginia) and barber-formulated Grooming Lounge products (created and tested in our shops). Our mission is to help all men look great and feel confident.

Rugged and Dapper was born in los angeles, ca. Founded by husband and wife duo, Ryan and Janine Labaqui. Ryan was determined to switch up the grooming game by creating a heavy-duty skincare line designed exclusively for Rugged men & Dapper gents. Janine had a vision to establish a no-nonsense powerful set of grooming and skincare tools that could effortlessly be incorporated into any man’s hectic lifestyle, with genuine benefits and long-term effects day after day. Together they formed the foundation of a skin fuel collection made proudly in the USA, utilizing 100% natural ingredients containing potent nutrients, antioxidants, vitamins, and plenty of organic goodness, sans the harmful chemicals and toxins found in the majority of popular brands today. They believe that life is best kept real and simple, a belief that is carried through every aspect of their business by providing a handful of superior tried and true grooming products, that cover all the bases so that real men remain authentically Rugged & Dapper.
