About Us
Growing a beard or moustache is something most men attempt at least once in their lifetime. For some it begins a lifelong love of facial hair. Whether it's a statement piece like a moustache or a beard that sets them apart, there is no denying that men and their facial
hair have a very special bond.
As bearded blokes ourselves we are only too aware of the needs of a man with facial hair. It was this awareness that led to us creating the Barber's Choice range of products. Some of us have full beards, some have moustaches and some have both but we were all wanting the same thing, a grooming range that was all natural, affordable and of course beneficial to our facial hair.
Our Owner
Jake Warren has always been an admirer of facial hair. He met his true love over 10 years ago when he decided to commit to the full beard. Not long after, he realised his beard deserved more than simply throwing away the razor, so Jake started using high-quality all-natural grooming products on his beard. After being part of the Barber’s Choice™ journey from the very beginning, Jake eventually purchased the business because he believed Ballarat needed a home-grown beard oil company. Having been involved with the brand from its inception, Jake knows all the ins and outs, having been the testing dummy for the products alongside Brayden Dorney, the original creator. These days, Jake continues to share his facial hair secrets in the Barber’s Choice™ range and remains dedicated to his bearding journey, competing in all competitions around Australia.
We spent many months locked away in our "beard lab" researching and testing many combinations until we discovered our hand-crafted formulas. These formulas not only produced premium grade products but allowed us to create tonics to suit all forms of men that want the best for their facial hair. For us it was not only a mission to create quality mens grooming products but also to create a product range that didn't break the bank and allowed the different facial hair types of the world to reach their full potential.
Whether a beard is a 5 o'clock shadow or big enough to be a world record holder, it deserves the care and respect of a quality grooming product. Our beard tonics condition the hair and skin leaving the beard feeling softer and healthier allowing you to shape and groom with ease all while smelling amazing. They also reduce the itching and flaking so commonly associated with beards.
The secret to our unique range of oils, balms, washes and hair styling pomades is the use of 100% natural and organic oils (eg. Moroccan Argan, Hempseed, Jojoba, Rosehip, Coconut and many more) combined with the balanced blends of pure essential oils that create an array of masculine scents to choose from.
To ensure that no beard is neglected and that all facial hair is treated equally and with the care it deserves. Our masculine yet gentle grooming range is the perfect way to groom for success. Our guarantee is that we will continue to focus on providing affordable high quality grooming essentials to suit your style.

"Highly recommend these products. After a few days of using Barbers Choice I noticed wonderful results. Healthier skin and a softer and smoother beard. Also smells great, perfect for regular use.
I now have less knots and tangling, works wonders."

"The one thing our barber station was missing was a good beard and stache product. I tried a lot of different beard oils when looking for the perfect ones to stock in our salon Tortoise & Hair Co. With Barber's Choice it was love at first whiff. Not only do they smell amazing, they're locally made, all natural, work wonders and have been a pleasure to deal with.
My clients can't get enough of the products and we couldn't be happier to be a part of the Barber's Choice operation! 10/10"

"Folk rock band 'The Beards' front man loved it and applied on stage... I tested it until the bottle was empty and loved it! No slimy oily residue left behind all went on the beard and not left on my hands like many others. Great fragrance and the wife will kiss me once more! May beard may not be huge but it loves this stuff. They do not need my word as it is running off the shelves! Certainly my current choice."
Dave (Aussie Beard)
Founder of the Australian Beard & Moustache Club
"Great product, more than happy customer. I work away in the mines and you can definitely tell the difference (in both skin and hair) once I've run out. Highly recommended to all bearded brothers. Cheers guys."
