EVENTS
Kicking off this edition, we’re announcing EVO On the Road Newcastle! If previous iterations of EVO On The Road are anything to go by, EVO On The Road is going to be a night to remember. Next, we talk the Fellowship Project Induction, as well as delving into Haircon 2025. We also go into the Matakki Education day 2025!
IN THE CHAIR
No shortage of star power in this edition, we have Zanear the Kurd in the chair – where we delve into Zanear’s story, from his beginnings to his stratospheric rise with Wahl. We also talk with the one you need to be watching, Kieran James Martin. We learn about his journey – both where he’s been, and where he plans to go. We also go across the pond and meet the amazing Jess Younan, highlighting true craft and genuine passion for the industry.
STYLING
All this before we get into the world of styling with major industry players, BROSH, American Crew, GAMMA+, and Hardgrind. Ollie Foster also pops by, talking all things consultation and education in the barbershop. We also pay a visit to Male Focus, where James Beaumont talks the new frontiers of styling in the male hair space. Alan Beak’s column this month also has a particular style focus.
INTERIORS
In the stunning interiors section, we have STAG Barbershop taking centre stage. With STAG’s interior being centred around Takara Belmont chair – they couldn’t go wrong. Also heading across the pond to Buffalo Co., we get inside the US barbershop – before sitting down with Kevin Luchmun, chatting to Simon Shaw and popping by the House of Selected.
BUSINESS
In business, we go Behind the Brand at Denman HQ, finding out just how they’ve maintained their icon status all these years. Also tackling sustainability, we chat with the Pillar Hair Collective about how products can make a huge difference to your carbon footprint. We also sit down with our columnist Hayden Cassidy to talk being independent – and how it’s helped her be the most genuine version of herself. All this before delving into tax and finance with Colette Osborne. Marketing is also a huge focus, with marketing conversations with our columnists Graeme Macaskill and Mark Maciver – and a chat with NHBF Top 100 Sid Da Barber.
SHAVING
Shaving is also a huge focus in this edition – that’s why we’re paying a visit to the experts. We delve into the full experience with Sharp & Flask, talk luxury shaves with Lovemore and go all in to the traditional Turkish shave with the iconic Jack the Clipper.
