Run your fingers across the dark ruby handle of a Mason Pearson. Feel the weight of 140 years of British craftsmanship settle into your palm.
The Mason Pearson brush has graced the vanities of Hollywood icons, European royalty, and discerning individuals who understand that true luxury lies not in the price tag, but in the daily routine. When you draw those perfectly calibrated bristles through your hair, you're participating in a tradition that stretches back to 1885.
The Last Hairbrush You'll Ever Need to Buy
You may be wondering what differentiates a Mason Pearson from a $20 drugstore brush. The first difference is that the first time you use one, it feels alive in your hand. That's the pneumatic rubber cushion (a design patented over a century ago) contouring to your scalp with every pass.
Unlike mass-produced brushes that tug and tear, each Mason Pearson is handmade in London, with hand-placed bristles set into a flexible base. The result? A therapeutic scalp massage with every brushing session.

| For fine to normal hair, with ‘Sensitive’ versions for very fine or thinning hair. | For normal to thick hair. | For thick, harder to manage hair. |
Plus, it will last you for decades to come. Keep reading to know how Mason Pearson makes that possible.
Finding Your Perfect Mason Pearson Brush
Let's break down which brush matches your hair type. As you’ll see below, each Mason Pearson brush serves a distinct purpose.
Pure Boar Bristle Brushes (B Series)
Best for: Fine hair, thinning hair, sensitive scalps
The Regular Sensitive SB3 features 100% boar bristles. These brushes distribute natural oils, add shine, and stimulate the scalp without causing breakage. This is also perfect for delicate or children's hair.
Bristle & Nylon Combination (BN Series)
Best for: Normal to thick hair, detangling plus shine
The Junior BN2 combines boar bristle shine with nylon strength. Perfect for medium to thick hair that tangles easily. Nylon separates and detangles, and boar smooths and conditions.
Compact Travel Options
Best for: Life on the go, travel, purse essentials
The Pocket BN4 maintains full craftsmanship in a compact size. The Pocket B4 offers pure boar bristle for fine hair on the go.
The Styling Must-Have
The Rake Comb C7 handles wet hair detangling and precise parting. Handmade with wide-set teeth that glide through damp hair without causing damage.
Quick Match Guide:
- Fine/Thinning Hair → Pure Boar Bristle (SB3)
- Normal to Thick Hair → Bristle & Nylon (Junior BN2)
- Travel Size → Pocket versions (BN4 or B4)
- Wet Hair → Rake Comb (C7)
Handcrafted to Last Decades
Each brush passes through 18 stages of production before it reaches your vanity. The handle is cellulose acetate (chosen for weight and durability). The bristles are carefully selected boar hair and precisely calibrated nylon, hand-set into that signature pneumatic cushion.
When you reach for your Mason Pearson each morning, you're choosing a tool built to last 10-20 years over one that lasts six months. You're choosing quality over convenience.
Why Celebrity Stylists Choose Mason Pearson
Hold a Mason Pearson in your hand and you immediately understand why celebrity hairstylists refuse to work with anything else.
Think about how many brushes you've bought and thrown away in the last five years. Now imagine buying one. Once. And it actually gets better with age instead of falling apart. Is it an investment? Sure. But so is your good bra, your favorite jeans, and that one lipstick you actually finish. Some things you buy once and never think about replacing.
More Than an Accessory
The best tools in life are the ones you never think about replacing. Your grandmother's cast iron skillet. The leather bag that improves with age.
A Mason Pearson brush belongs in this category. Not consumption but curation. Not trendy but timeless.
