Full company description
Tommy Gun's is a Canadian-based barbershop and grooming establishment known for its commitment to providing a unique and exceptional grooming experience. Founded in 2009 by Ken Fisher, Tommy Gun's has evolved into a global brand with a presence in Australia, New Zealand, the USA, and Canada. In 1988, Ken Fisher laid the foundation for the thriving Tommy Gun's franchise network. Drawing from his industry expertise, Fisher spearheaded the creation of Tommy Gun's Original Barbershop in 2009. Dissatisfied with conventional barbershop experiences, Fisher aimed to revolutionize the industry by introducing unparalleled customer service within a laid-back and welcoming environment. Within five years, Tommy Gun’s celebrated its 1 millionth cut, and in 2014, it expanded globally with its debut location in Brisbane, Australia. Fast forward to 2024, Tommy Gun’s has marked its 10 millionth cut and operates over 100 locations worldwide. The brand's evolution is fueled by the dedication and collaboration of Ken Fisher's son and son-in-law, Keenan Fisher and Cory Anderson. Tommy Gun's is not just about haircuts; it's about crafting an experience for a "Fresh Cut Feeling, Every Guest Every Time." Rooted in modern male grooming, the barbershop combines traditional charm with modern amenities. Grooming is seen as an art form, and each service is an opportunity to provide a personalized experience, emphasizing precision and care. Tommy Gun's doesn't just sell haircuts; it sells confidence to each individual walking into a Tommy Gun’s Barbershop. We don't believe in appointments. Simply show up, check yourself in and spend the waiting time the way you want - watch the game, browse our product range, polish up on your arcade skills or take a walk - we'll text you when you're up.
