Authentic & Down-to-Earth, Passionate & By-the-User-for-the-User, Retro/Vintage-Inspired & Fun, Masculine & Unpretentious, Canadian & Local Pride

Brand Values

• •Effectiveness & Performance: "MAKE IT SIMPLE, MAKE IT WORK & MAKE IT SMELL GOOD." Products are tested and born out of a need for something that actually performs all day.
• •Quality Ingredients & Craftsmanship: "WE manufacture Everything With High Quality Ingredients, attention to detail and a lot of heart." Products are often described as handmade or custom-made.
• •Simplicity & Ease of Use: "You don't have to be a barber or a stylist." Products are formulated to be easy to apply and wash out.
• •Authenticity & "No BS": A straightforward approach, avoiding hype. "Custom made by your favourite mechanic, no bs products."
• •Customer-Centric (Implied): Created due to the founder's own dissatisfaction, implying a desire to provide solutions others might be seeking.
• •Family & Community: "A true small town FAMILY run business." Connection to their local area (Steveston Village, Richmond, BC).

Best Practices

• •Embrace the Origin Story: Continuously weave the "mechanic founder" narrative into your copy. It's unique, authentic, and sets the "no BS," practical tone.
• •Use Relatable, Everyday Language: Avoid overly technical jargon or pretentious "beauty speak." Keep it straightforward, honest, and a bit colloquial, like talking to a buddy in the garage.
• •Incorporate Automotive & Retro Vernacular (Subtly): Words and phrases with a subtle nod to cars, mechanics, or vintage culture (e.g., "dialed in," "fine-tuned," "grease," "vintage hold") can reinforce the brand identity without being cheesy.
• •Highlight "Made in Canada" & Family Values: Emphasize the local, family-run aspect. This builds trust and appeals to customers who value craftsmanship and supporting small businesses.
• •Focus on Benefits and Solutions, Not Just Features: While mentioning quality ingredients is good, always tie it back to how the product solves a problem for the user (e.g., "holds all day through a shift," "washes out easy, no residue," "tames the wildest beards"). Keep it benefit-driven and user-centric.
