Innovative hair brand, OSMO, have just appointed their newest ambassador – the Glasgow born and based owner of Huncho Barbershop, Dale Mehmet.
Dale began his barbering career 8 years ago, with his easy manner and naturally creative talent drawing him into the barbering world.
Having initially attended university after school to study art, he found the formal training restrictive and decided to leave in his final year. After a short time in retail, he found himself drawn into the world of barbering, after a visit to his local barbers led to him being invited to shadow the owner. Dale was hooked – he realised this was the creative buzz he’d been looking for.
The self-taught barber built his clientele in a rented studio space before taking the jump to open his own Glasgow barbershop, Huncho Barbers, in 2023.
Dale said: “I’ve been using OSMO products for most of my career, so it was a natural progression to take the range into my shop when I opened. I’m constantly creating content for social media for my shop, and the OSMO team were excited by the work I was sharing and reached out. It was an organic step for us both to collaborate and I’m looking forward to working closer with the team on creating more social content with OSMO.”
Dale’s style of barbering is founded in the traditional techniques, but he likes to adapt his skills and cutting, so it’s unique to his creative style. A very busy barber, Dale balances running his shop with educating his growing team, whilst also creating social content to encourage footfall and excite his peers with his style of barbering.
OSMO Senior Brand Manager, Sinéad McLaughlin, added: “Dale is not only a great barber, but his understanding of social media is really stand out for us. We know he’s been using our products and sharing this with his customers and followers for a long time now. There’s lots in the pipeline with Dale and OSMO and we’re all looking forward to seeing how his ambassador role develops.”
