The Blind Barber is entering 15 years in business closing a $1.7 million seed round raised from existing partners and investors.WHO: Blind Barber was founded in 2010 on the principle that the barbershop wasn’t just a place to get a haircut or shave; it was a hub for community—where people got together to bond, socialize, and exchange ideas. The brand opened its first location, a barbershop and parlor, in the East Village neighborhood of New York City, and expanded its locations to Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Nashville. After initially entering the market with a focus on men’s products, the brand has developed a unisex skincare line, expanding its consumer reach by occupying shelves in destinations such as Ulta Beauty, Rennai in Montreal, Dover Street Parfums Market in Paris, and Skins in the Netherlands. WHY: The capital infusion will be used for product innovation, aid further app development, and support international expansion.IN THEIR OWN WORDS: Jeff Laub, co-founder Blind Barber, shared, “This latest round of investment marks an exciting new chapter for Blind Barber, giving us the confidence to expand into new categories like fine fragrance while continuing to develop expertly crafted, solution-based products. More than just grooming, Blind Barber has always been about creating moments—those small but meaningful experiences that make up a life well-lived. With this support, we’re doubling down on that philosophy, ensuring that everything we create not only works exceptionally well but also enhances the moments that matter most.”  DETAILS:Blind Barber closed a $1.7 million seed round, raised from existing partners and investors.
