In 1805, Nelson won the Battle of Trafalgar and King George III sat on the throne of England. That same year, the story of Truefitt & Hill began in fashionable Mayfair. Historically, this was a time of fine craftsmanship, styling, and innovation. This era laid the foundation for a historic, colorful, inventive, and forward-looking history.
This era was characterized by the high standards of the London aristocracy. Good grooming and vanity were essential characteristics of a gentleman. Truefitt created a completely new level of service for his discerning clientele, setting new standards worldwide. In 1935, Truefitt took over the hairdressing business from Edwin S. Hill & Co., thus creating Truefitt & Hill.
Today, Truefitt & Hill is the global leader in men's grooming, offering a range of exceptional products and legendary hairdressing services. From 1805 to the present day, Truefitt & Hill has stood for unique innovations. In 2014, the company was recognized by the Guinness Book of Records as the oldest hairdressing salon in the world.
