Our Story

Founded by leading hair colourist Shaun P in London in 2007, Tangle Teezer began life as an idea in a salon and has grown to become a global business which has sold over 50 million hairbrushes worldwide.

Born from 30 years spent working in top salons and looking for a quick and easy way to detangle knots without tugging and pulling, Shaun had his ‘lightbulb’ moment in 2003.

Research, design, development and refinement followed - as well as a ‘we’re out’ appearance on Dragons’ Den - until in 2007 The Original detangling hairbrush launched becoming an instant sensation.

Not stopping at just one invention, the innovation has continued, many awards have been won, and our ground-breaking hairbrushes have moved beyond an array of detangling hairbrushes to include blow-drying and styling hair tools. All made using our patented teeth technology, which you won’t find on any other hairbrush, the power’s in the teeth, and always will be.

We’re proud to design and manufacture all of our hairbrushes in Great Britain. We’ve won two Queen’s Awards for Enterprise with Shaun meeting Her Majesty the Queen at Buckingham Palace, and he also became an ambassador for the government’s GREAT Britain campaign.

Customers say we’ve changed their lives with our hairbrushes which spurs us on to keep innovating and inventing. So watch this space as our story continues.
