This collection is an expression of hair craft, channelling the concept, ‘form follows function’. Shot white on white, the focus is on shape, shade and form allowing the viewer to see detail, movement and composition without distraction. Each cut and colour was specifically created for the woman you see in the shot – women I found whilst wandering the streets of Melbourne. The collection is named Padma(lotus flower), because even through darkness and uncertainty, honest craftsmanship can beam through unstained, pure in beauty and stronger than ever.

The result is a masculine, woody, oriental, spicy fragrance. *Withoutguarana SEB MAN answers the call from men who refuse to be defined by narrow and limiting definitions of themselves and encourages men to not only go beyond mere stereotypes, but to also embrace the exciting, new wave of masculinity. Hassle-free SEB MAN products inspire men to discover who they are and, more importantly, who they could still become. SEB Man’s Global Creative Artist, Aiden Xydis, leads the charge in celebrating the rich multiplicity and individuality of men and their hair. The 22-year-old Australian stylist and self-described digital addict has recently been making waves on the editorial circuit with looks that represent the perfect mix of classic refinement and cutting-edge charm. “I love doing sleek, sharp cuts and lifting my client’s image to new heights.” His young and fresh vision sets the scene for a new era of haircare, styling and grooming for men.

We’ve all seen the trends – barbering products are exploding. Barber shops are becoming destination stores, and salons are including barbering areas in their own salon to create a mini-haven for gents. Why is barbering so popular, and is this trend likely to come and go, or stay for the long term? A recent article in American Salon explained that men’s grooming is becoming more and more of an essential. It’s not just women who are judged on their appearance these days. Whether you’re in the workplace or the social scene, the groomed look is imperative. Social media is a big factor in barbering’s popularity, because so many aspects of the industry are exposed to such a wide audience – and social channels also offer constant inspiration for barbers, who can draw on each others’ ideas to give clients the latest, best, edgiest looks. A market research report on the barbering industry in the USA, compiled in January 2019, found that the industry is on the upward trend, with steady annual growth from 2014 to 2019. The report has found that although there has not been a notable increase in the demand for this industry’s services, the increase in population has contributed to growth as barber shops have a larger customer base, and in addition, barbers are generating more money per person, thanks to the popularity of more specialised services.
