🖤 Dead Ends Club – Founders Story

I’ve been a barber for over 11 years, and owner of Hair by Wayne Barbershop for over 6 years. I’ve cut thousands of heads, battled through long days on the tools, and I know what it’s like to rely on scissors that don’t hold up. I’ve won NZ Barber of the Year in 2021 and 2022, along with multiple awards in hair — but none of those trophies were won with the kind of tools barbers actually deserve.

That’s why I built Dead Ends Club. These scissors aren’t designed by a corporate product manager. They’re built by a barber, for barbers — with the precision, comfort, and style I always wanted in my own hands. We don’t just make scissors. We make weapons for creators who stand out, not blend in.
