Mason Pearson, Engineer and Inventor, began his career designing wool processing looms in Bradford. He met and married Mary Avis and the couple moved from Bradford in Yorkshire, Northern England to London. Mason worked at the British Steam Brush Works in London’s East End. He joined a partnership, later known as Raper Pearson and Gill, which was in the business of general small-brush making. At the time, the brushes were made by hand.Mason Pearson hairbrushes have been loved by generations, a British design icon that still out performs its rivals.
The famous orange pad fills with air through a small hole in the tip of the brush, giving the hairbrush a luxurious soft cushion. The high quality boar bristle ensures beautiful results and longevity of use.
The plastic handle shape was developed from the original wooden models, which are still made in small quantities. These handles are hand-finished to remove any sharp edges and make the hairbrush more comfortable to hold.
