Started by an innovator more than 80 years ago, the iconic Denman brand remains a leading light in
hairdressing today!
In 1938 during a trip to New York, a young entrepreneur from Northern Ireland John Denman Dean
was introduced to a new revolutionary product, Nylon. He returned home with a cabin full of this
new material and soon after figured a use for it in hairbrushes. By the 1950’s the reputation of this
innovative new brush began to grow. Celebrity hairdressers over the decades may all have had their
own unique style, but they also all had a Denman hairbrush!
Working with influential hairdressers from around the world, Denman developed a vast array of
different tools and brushes that today make up the Denman range. Still family owned and still based
in Bangor Northern Ireland, Denman continues this collaboration with the hair professional and
therefore is one of the world’s most sold hairbrush brands!
