Bolt Barbers

The American male is rediscovering the old-world barbershop experience. Our creation of the Bolt Barbers brand is helping to create a third place to socialize for guys 7 to 70. From brand strategy to brand identity, copywriting, tagline development, business papers, verbal branding to signage and web, we have informed every touch point for this exciting offering.

Launched in L.A. in 2009, the Bolt Barbers brand simultaneously displays playfulness and masculine quality. The Social Beasts moniker, Shear, Shave and Shine, and the clipper-chimps characters reflect the conviviality Bolt seeks to build with its patrons. The beautiful, strong hand-cut letters in the BOLT logo reassure that below this playful façade is a serious, quality haircut. The brand’s personality is carried throughout, even in the small details of package copy.
