New Barber Stations, Reception Desk and Trainee To Serve You

Bonafide Barbers recently underwent a few changes at their new shop in Parkhurst to accommodate customers a little better.

“We really needed a reception area from where we could welcome our clients as they arrived” said owner Monique Fleming. “Our shop is getting steadily busier which created the need for another skilled barber and more work stations.”

The barber shop now offers three functioning barber areas (with room for a fourth) to serve customers and can accommodate haircuts, shaves and beard trims of any ethnicity.

To have a look at their upgraded facilities, check out the video HERE hosted on their YouTube Channel.

Bonafide Barbers opened in January of 2016 next to Urban Grind Roasters. They have two barbers on hand; Morgs Price (The Sinister Barber) and Bernadette Kruger (Barber Bern), along with their newest recruit and trainee, Linwill Adams (LL). The barber shop specialises in men’s haircuts, hot towel shaves, beard trims, ladies cuts, beard grooming and even hair graffiti. Complimentary coffee from Urban Grind is offered to each and every customer.

They also stocks the full range of award winning Bonafide Beard grooming products including beard oil, beard balm, cleansing bars and beard brushes along with various other hair care products by EVO.

Bonafide Beards Wins 2016 Mens Health Grooming Award

Published: 12 September 2016

For the second year running, Bonafide Beards has been chosen as a winner in the South African Men’s Health, Grooming Awards. This year, their ‘Beard Brush’ won the award for ‘Best product in it’s category.’

Bonafide Beards offers two types of wooden beard brushes; a mixed boar and synthetic bristle brush and a pure synthetic bristle version to accommodate religious and personal needs.

“We were thrilled to have been nominated and then to go on and win in our category,” says Monique Fleming, owner of Bonafide Beards. “South Africa has some wonderful companies out there, so to be chosen by our peers as the overall winner is a great achievement, not only for our unique brush but also for us as a brand.”

Beard brushes are used to help tame your beard as well as keep your skin healthy.

“The bristles are firm enough to brush through any knots without breaking your hair, eliminating damaged, scraggly, coarse hair but are also soft enough to stimulate blood flow and exfoliate the skin underneath your beard that is being neglected, without causing irritation,” says Monique, “this aids in stimulating hair growth plus removes dead skin cells and significantly reduces itchy, dry flakey skin.”

Every year, Men’s Health runs a survey where they invite their readers to vote for their favourite grooming products. “A panel of industry experts, together with the Men’s Health editors, also cast their votes,” says Azeez Jacobs, Fashion and Grooming Editor, Men’s Health. “We are pleased to inform you that your product was chosen as the best in its category.”

In 2015, Bonafide Beards received its first Men’s Health Grooming award for best in it’s category for their ‘Beard Oil.’ Beard oil is an essential part to male grooming, especially for men with beards as it helps moisturise and condition both your skin and beard while restoring your beard’s natural oils.
