About
Every movement begins with an idea.
Ours was this: create grooming without compromise.
Scholar & Scoundrel was born out of frustration with a disposable culture: quick cuts, synthetic products, hollow promises. We wanted something real. Something honest. Something that stood for more than just style.
Our products are handcrafted in Western Australia, mixed and poured in small batches. Every ingredient is chosen for a reason. Natural, effective, and free from the usual suspects: no parabens, sulphates, phthalates, paraffins, artificial fragrances, or other toxic fillers. If it doesn’t serve you or the planet, it doesn’t go in. Simple as that.
But Scholar & Scoundrel is more than what’s in the jar. It’s how we work behind the chair. The barbershop is not a conveyor belt; it’s a ritual. Every cut is tailored, every service is unhurried, every detail is deliberate. You’re offered a drink, a seat, and the kind of focus that’s rare these days. We don’t just shape hair, we create a moment of calm and refinement in a world that never slows down.
Our name speaks to the duality we believe lives in every man: the Scholar — precise, disciplined, polished; and the Scoundrel — bold, raw, untamed. To live well is to honour both. To carry wisdom in one hand and rebellion in the other.
This ethos runs through everything we do:
-
Craftsmanship over convenience
-
Quality over quantity
-
Substance over superficial
Scholar & Scoundrel isn’t just grooming. It’s a stand against the disposable. It’s about self-respect, sustainability, and making conscious choices in the small rituals that shape our lives.
We are craftsmen, rebels, fathers, husbands, thinkers, fighters, building something better, one jar and one cut at a time.
Scholar & Scoundrel: For the Gentleman. For the Rogue. For those who refuse to settle.
