When it comes to grooming, many of us are increasingly seeking something smarter than your typical cut and blow-dry. We want a modern experience — one that’s transparent, personalised, and kind to the planet. Enter HARE, the Oxfordshire-based salon brand redefining what it means to get your hair done, with unisex spaces that blend top-tier styling, sustainable thinking, and good old-fashioned fairness.
Gone are the days of overpriced packages or cookie-cutter services. HARE has introduced a truly refreshing model in the grooming world: flexible, fair pricing. Want just a fade and go? No problem. Fancy a full wash and blow-dry? That’s on offer too. Every visit is bespoke to your needs and budget — a pay-as-you-please approach that’s as liberating as it is logical.
This is walk-in hairdressing and barbering, but not as you know it. Think expert fades, fringe touch-ups, beard trims and classic cuts — all under one roof, without the unnecessary extras (unless you want them, of course).
The HARE experience goes beyond the chair. Their very own unisex hair and skincare range is crafted right here in the UK, and it ticks all the right boxes: vegan-friendly, cruelty-free, water-based, and genuinely great to use. Clean formulas meet clean ethics, making HARE one of the few salons that actually practices what it preaches when it comes to eco-conscious grooming.
Take for example the Salted Hare Salt Spray, a beachy-texture-enhancer made with real sea salt for that laid-back, tousled look. Perfect for guys or girls looking to add volume and wave, it’s simple, effective, and free from nasties. A few spritzes post-shower, air-dry or blow-dry, and you’re good to go.
Founded in 2013 by brothers James and George Talbot, HARE has always championed something bigger than good hair. From day one, it’s been about creating inclusive, casual spaces where everyone — regardless of style, gender, or budget — feels genuinely welcome. It’s a place where the vibe is friendly, the service is personal, and the costs are transparent. No hidden fees. No unnecessary fluff.
And in a world increasingly conscious of its environmental footprint, HARE’s partnership with the Green Salon Collective is one of its most standout moves. Together, they recycle hair waste for surprisingly useful things — like mopping up oil spills or enriching compost. Yes, even your trim could be helping to clean up.
HARE salons offer the same chilled, values-led experience. Each space is unisex, unpretentious and effortlessly cool — a far cry from sterile chains or chaotic barber shops. Pop in for a quick tidy-up or a full refresh, and walk out looking (and feeling) like the best version of yourself.
At Clothes Make The Man, we’re always on the lookout for brands doing things differently — and HAREis a shining example of how modern grooming should be. With fair pricing, flexible service, and an unwavering commitment to sustainability, they’re not just cutting hair — they’re cutting through the noise.
So, if you’re looking for a trim that won’t cost the Earth (literally and figuratively), do yourself a favour and pay HARE a visit. Your hair, your wallet, and the planet will thank you.
