The Cutting Room Competitors

Hair is our first love and that’s why we design products differently, to perform brilliantly. It all started with our unique two-tiered teeth technology, but the innovation never stops – we continue to create one-of-a-kind products that work hard for you and your hair. Using our expert knowledge, we cater to each hair type, whether it’s straight to wavy, fine and fragile, or curly and coily - that’s why we’re loved by so many, from influencers and hair stylists to our loyal customers. We understand that your hair is a reflection of your unique identity and an expression of your inner self. Good hair days elevate your confidence and mirror a positive self-image. And it's not just about looking good, it's about feeling unstoppable. Our tools do more than just detangle; they're your daily dose of confidence. We are proud to announce that in 2025 we became part of BIC brands.

Our first ever hair salon, Rush Wimbledon, was opened in 1994 by founders Andy and Stell who shared one vision; to create stunningly beautiful yet wearable hairstyles, each as unique and individual as you. We now have over 50 Rush hair and beauty salons, each unique in their location, decor, and people yet united in their passion. Our Artistic Team has been making their mark in hairdressing history since 1999. Their groundbreaking creativity and extraordinary talent has led them to win an outstanding 13 British Hairdressing Awards and their impact on the worldwide hairdressing industry, coupled with an ever-growing celebrity clientele, is a testament to their passion for their craft. In 2008 we opened our very own Advanced Academy. We strongly believe that excellence can only be achieved through strong foundations and a commitment to your craft, so we offer training courses taught by our inspirational Artistic Team to each and every one of our hairstylists, thus ensuring that their passion, creativity, and skill is continually nurtured and developed, and that you can be confident that when it comes to hair, your stylist knows their stuff. In 2010 we also formed the Rush Session Team, headed up by Tina Farey, the crème de la crème of editorial hairstylists; they’ve developed a fantastic profile at the heart of the fashion industry. The team has been a favourite a London Fashion Week ever since and are honored to have worked alongside the likes of Belle Sauvage, Pam Hogg and PPQ to mention a few. We’ve come a long way since 1994, but that philosophy has stayed with us through thick and thin. It’s you, by Rush.
