I can hear some of you wondering about 'Franco's name', and to simply answer your intrigue, Yes, Franco is Italian.

Chloe
Co-Founder, Marketing Director & Web Manager
Some Facts about Chloe...
-
​Chloe is uber creative, but not as a Barber, oh no! Chloe is actually 'Me', so how do you all do? I work pretty silently managing & designing everything from the Website, branding, Advertising & marketing, to the interior design of our quirky Brighton Barber Shop.
-
I found inspiration for the branding of our shop through Franco. Franco is by biggest inspiration and with the influences off both 'Archer - Animated TV show & Lichtenstein - He doesn't need an intro', I set out to create a vision which people would, and have come to know so well in association with Franco's Barbers.​ I mixed this pop art vision with all things traditionally vintage and here was born Franco's Barbers.

Did you know that lots of the quirky ornaments and artefacts you will find within the Barbers (and there is a lot of them), have been so kindly given to the Shop by Franco's customers. You can have a gander at a few in our online Gallery!
