We’ve used and sold a lot of product lines. None of them lived up to what we wanted to hand our clients. So we’re making our own.
Broken Arrow Grooming is the product line from Broken Arrow Barbershop in Orem, Utah. Every product is developed and tested by barbers who cut hair every day.
Short answer
Broken Arrow is making its own grooming products because nothing on the market met the shop’s standards for both performance and design, and most brands have one great product with the rest of the line as an afterthought. Broken Arrow Grooming is a complete line, including clay, cream, sea salt spray, shampoo, conditioner and aftershave, tested on clients at the shop in Orem.
01
Nothing on the shelf was good enough
Between us, we’ve used and sold a lot of different product lines. We knew what we liked, and what we wished was better.
We wanted to give clients something to take home, but nothing we found lived up to our standards for both how it performed and how it looked.
02
One great product isn’t a line
We noticed a pattern. A lot of brands have one great product, usually a clay or a pomade, and the rest of the line is an afterthought. The clay is good, but the sea salt spray isn’t.
We couldn’t find a complete line where every product was one we’d reach for. So we’re building one.
Every product has to be one we’d reach for in the shop.
03
It started in 2022
For Bryton, making products wasn’t new. He started making beard oils and other grooming products in 2022, the same year he opened the shop in Payson. Broken Arrow Grooming grew from that early work and everything our team has learned behind the chair since.
