History of Truefitt & Hill
In 1805, William Francis Truefitt opened his first Gentlemen's Barber Shop at 2 Cross-Lane, Long Acre London. In 1811 he moved the business to 40 Old Bond Street and established himself as "Court Hair Cutter" and "Court Head Dresser" where, along with his sole employee, his brother Peter, he was soon to become Wigmaker, by Royal Appointment to His Majesty, King George III.
Throughout the early part of the 19th century, when regular visits to the barber were essential to facilitate the wearing of wigs by Gentlemen, Old Bond Street became increasingly more fashionable and the Truefitt's barber shop flourished.
In 1911 Edwin Hill & Co. set up a barber shop at 23 Old Bond Street, and it was to this address H.P. Truefit (Francis Truefitt's nephew) moved in 1935 to form, the still existing, Truefitt & Hill. Other Truefitt regional outlets were merged into the present company in 1941. The present location of Truefitt & Hill at 71 St. James's Street, London, was taken up on Valentine's Day 1994.
Truefitt & Hill occupies the position of one of the leading men's barber shops in the World. Glancing at the appointments book, it reads like pages from Debrett's and Who's Who. Clients include Members of the male line of the Royal Family, Members of visiting Royal Households, Captains of Industry, Members of both Houses of Parliament, the City, the Theatre, Ambassadors and the Diplomatic Service, visiting Dignitaries, the Professions, the Arts, and all other strata of British Society. A haircut, a shave with hot towels, and a manicure at Truefitt & Hill leaves a gentlemen ready to face the world knowing that he has been well and truly groomed for the occasion, whatever it may be, by one of England's Hairdressing Aristocracy.
Throughout its entire history, Truefitt & Hill and their predecessors have been involved in the production of Hairdressings, Shampoos, Perfumes, and Colognes.
Truefitt & Hill's Gentlemen's Toiletries, including the world's finest Shaving Cream, After Shaves, Colognes, Hair Preparations, Shampoo, Soaps and Bath/Shower Gels, and all are carefully blended with natural fragrances.
The range of products bearing the name Truefitt & Hill are unique. They each have produced their own decidedly masculine fragrance range. They also stock accessories of the highest quality: Silver Tip Badger Shaving Brushes, Razors, Shaving Mugs, Hair Brushes and Combs, Nail Cutters, Manicure and Pedicure sets, Toiletry Bags and Natural Sponges.
Truefitt's fame has even spread across the Atlantic. Truefitt & Hill, Chicago USA, is based in the most prestigious shopping complex in the city. Truefitt & Hill, Toronto Canada is also located in well known Scotia Plaza. It continues Truefitt's tradition by providing our American Cousins with the finest in men's grooming and Truefitt's line of Gentlemen's toiletries. The future holds many exciting projects for Truefitt & Hill, including extensions to the traditional Truefitt & Hill range and the introduction of new fragrances. In years to come, Truefitt & Hill will be a household name - but only in the best households.

Truefitt Story
Everyday around the world our story is told. Everyday, as thousands of men ready themselves for their next adventure, our history echoes in their routines. Our story is one of tradition and style and impeccable taste. And it began over 200 years ago.
William Francis Truefitt opened his first gentlemen’s barbershop in 1805. As was the fashion of the day, a significant part of his business came from wig making and grooming. In fact, the success and notoriety he found in his early years was primarily due to these superior skills.
It didn’t take long for Truefitt’s reputation to grow and soon he had a thriving business in the heart of London’s fashionable West End. Perhaps the greatest nod to his ability in these early years was being made Court Hair Cutter, Court Hair Dresser and Wigmaker by Royal Appointment to His Majesty, King George III.
Over the next century the Truefitt name became synonymous with high society. And while there were moves to different locations and changes in fashion, year after year, gentleman after gentleman, the Truefitt name continued a harmonious relationship with the elite. Consider this, when artifacts of the RMS Titanic were recovered, among them was an H.P. Truefitt ceramic pomade pot. There’s no doubt that the connection between Truefitt and its aristocratic patrons was a devoted one.
In 1935, having previously taken ownership, H.P. Truefitt (the nephew of William Francis) moved the barbershop into a space occupied by Edwin Hill & Co. The move merged both barbershops and resulted in a newly formed and now historic name: Truefitt & Hill.
From such humble beginnings, the world’s oldest barbershop has left lasting impressions on some of the world’s most illustrious clients. Charles Dickens, Oscar Wilde and William Thackeray all recognized Truefitt & Hill as a residence of luxury and style, while Sir Winston Churchill, John Wayne, Frank Sinatra, Charles Dickens, Fred Astaire, Cary Grant and Alfred Hitchcock frequented the barbershop during their lives. Truefitt & Hill has also been popular with hundreds of other icons in society, politics and the arts. In addition, it has had the distinction of serving as barbers and Royal Warrant holders to H.R.H., The Duke of Edinburgh and other members of The Royal Family for the past nine reigns.
Today the Truefitt & Hill flagship store can be found at 71 St. James Street. It remains true to its roots as it is nestled in one of the most elite neighborhoods in all of London. Other locations have also opened in North America. Truefitt & Hill can be found on Chicago’s posh Magnificent Mile, in Toronto’s well-known Scotia Plaza and alongside some of the best shopping in Las Vegas in the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace.
With over two centuries of tradition at its side, Truefitt & Hill continues to provide superior grooming experiences. With each stroke of the blade, with each pat of the brush, with each dab of cologne, the modern day gentleman prepares himself for the kind of greatness that only a Truefitt & Hill man can expect.

Truefitt & Hill – Eine 200 Jahre alte Friseurtradition garantiert Luxus
Keiner weniger, als Oscar Wilde, Frank Sinara, Sir Winston Churchill und Alfred Hitchcock besuchten ihn oder erkannten ihn an – den ältesten Friseurladen der Welt. Mit einer über 200 Jahre alten Tradition ist Truefitt & Hill auch heute noch für die Ikonen zuständig.
Im Jahre 1805 eröffnete William Francis Truefitt im Londoner West End seinen ersten Gentlemen’s Barbershop
Sein Geschäft macht er, der Mode entsprechend, mit Perücken und Pflegeprodukten. Sein Friseurladen florierte und bald wurde er für seine Qualitäten bekannt und bei der High Society ein gefragter Barbier. Unter den geborgenen Übrigbleibseln der berühmten gesunkenen Titanic fand sich z.B. ein Keramikpomadentopf von Truefitt.
1935 fusionierte Truefitts Friseurgeschäft bei einem Umzug mit Edwin Hill & Co
… was dem Namen den Zusatz & Hill einbrachte. Heute befindet sich der Truefitt & Hill Flagshipstore, also das Vorzeigegeschäft des Luxus-Friseurs, in der 71 St. James Street, eingebettet in eine der elitären Gegenden Londons.
Die Friseure bei Truefitt & Hill snd in ihrem Handwerk streng geschulte Profis, die durch eine intensive Ausbildung gehen müssen, um den hohen Standards und Ansprüchen bei & Hill zu genügen. Ein Barbier bei Truefitt & Hill fühlt sich geehrt, einen solchen Beruf inne zu haben – ihm können die Herren problemlos vertrauen.
Zum Service bei Truefitt & Hill gehört aber noch mehr als Frisur und Rasur
Lassen Sie sich mit Maniküre und Massage von zertifizierten Spezialisten verwöhnen und ganz im Zuge der High Society die Schuhe putzen. Eine solche High-Society-Behandlung ist natürlich Typsache – ein gewöhnlicher Friseur ist Truefitt & Hill eben nicht. Stattdessen wird auf die Konnotation “elitär” und “reich” doch sehr geachtet.
Truefitt & Hill ist der Friseur für jene Herren, die das Bessere oder wohlgemerkt das Teurere wollen. Ist Ihnen Ihre Frisur derart heilig, vertrauen Sie sie einem Spezialisten-Team mit über 200 Jahre alter Tradition an. Statten Sie Ihr Bad mit Londoner Luxuszubehör aus, z.B. mit einer exklusiven Luxusrasierseife in einer klassischen edlen Holzschale.
