Expertise in Men’s Hairdressing
At MaxOliver, we specialise in the technical mechanics of men’s hairdressing, offering the barbershop experience with a salon quality service & understanding. Founded by three brothers, Max, Oliver, and Josh, in April 2013, our mission has always been to provide expert styling without the hassle.

Growing Our Legacy
From our first salon in Crowborough, we expanded to Royal Tunbridge Wells, Lewes, and now Brighton. Our newest location, spread across four floors in the heart of the North Laines, also home to our flagship training academy and a top-floor photography studio. Each space reflects our commitment to expert craftsmanship and an exceptional client experience.

Tailored Haircuts & Consultations
We believe great haircuts start with understanding our clients. Through personalised consultations, we create bespoke styles that complement your personality, lifestyle, and hair type, ensuring a perfect look every time.

Education & Innovation
Our internal education program trains stylists in both classic barbering and modern hairdressing, blending tradition with innovation. With our Brighton academy leading the way, we continue to set new standards in men’s hairdressing. Whether you’re after the latest trend or a fresh take on your style, our team provides expert advice tailored to you.
