BARBER PRO - Celebrating Our 6th Birthday

BARBER PRO - Celebrating Our 6th Birthday

Happy Birthday BARBER PRO!

Yes that’s right, as of this month BARBER PRO has been on the shelves for 6 whole years - and what a 6 years it’s been!

Since 2015, we’ve been bringing you the very best in men’s skincare innovation and we’re showing no signs of slowing. BARBER PRO will continue to lead the way, developing new and exciting products with YOU at the forefront.

To celebrate this milestone, let’s take a look at how far we’ve come!

Our history since 2015...


As the world of sheet masks was taking off, with more and more people taking the time to care for their skin - we noticed a gap in the market. Sheet masks created specifically for men.

Male skin is thicker than that of a woman, as well as carrying more oils, a higher collagen density and of course, the presence of facial hair. This means it was only right for us to create a collection of masks that specifically targeted the needs of male skin.

Enter….BARBER PRO, the first range of sheet masks created for men, containing Activated Charcoal and Anti-Ageing Collagen.

Our first release was the BARBER PRO Post Shave Cooling Mask, developed to address the sensitivity and redness caused by shaving. The Marine Collagen based product soothes, nourishes and hydrates the skin, reducing inflammation and ensuring the skin feels replenished. To this day, it’s still one of our most popular treatments! Learn more about it here.

By the following year, BARBER PRO was making waves in the skincare industry, with the Post Shave Cooling Mask picking up awards for Best Innovation at the Beauty Awards with Debenhams, Innovation of the Year at the 2016 Barber Awards and Best Men’s Face Mask in the Beauty Shortlist Awards.

Over the next few years, the range grew and grew to include a number of best selling products, including the Face Putty Peel Off Mask and the customer favourite, the Foot Peel.

In 2019, the collection underwent a rebrand with colours being introduced to the packaging to make picking out your favorite mask even easier.

The full range now includes:
